NEARING A CRISIS.
John w. BOOkwa1ter Declares Con-
fict Between Urban and Rural
Populations Imminent.

London, July 15.-John w. Bookwal-
ter, of Ohio, who sailed for the United
States on the neutrality-suspicious. line
steamer Columbia Friday, spent few
days in London this week after $1,000
mile bicycle trip through southern Eu-
rope, during which he traversed Italy
almost from end to end, crossed the
Apennines, went over the Saint
Gothard and wheeled over the noun
famous roads of Switzerland. Mr..
Bookwalter spent the greater part of
his time living among and closely
studying the peasantry, and he is thor
oughly convinced that crisis is immi-
nent between the urban and rural pop
ulations of the world. In the rise in
the price of grain he sees the beginning
of struggle of the agricultural ele-
ment against the concentration of cap
ital in cities. This movement, he be-
lieves, will commence in America,
where, he believes, the economic con-
ditions are inferior to those of Ger
many and France, especially the latter,
which, he maintains, is the soundest
country in the world, owing to the dis
tribution of wealth between the agra
rian and metropolitan classes.

RESIGNATION NOT ACCEPTED.
Secretary Root Will Await Further

tiOn of Capt. Strong.

Washington, July Is. = Secretary
Root has decided not to accept the res
igna ton of Capt. Strong for the pres
ent. 1t is stated that the action of the

Capt. Strong saying that his resigna-
ton would not be acted upon until it
had been received by mail through the
regular channels, accompanied by a
fuller explanation as to why the res
ignation was presented. This action
leaves Capt. Strong still in the service

made if the department deems it adj
visable to investigate the alleged cir
cumstances which have been published

is understood that cognizance has been
taken by the department of the pub
lication Saturday morning of the esca-
pade in San Francisco in which Capt.
Strong is alleged to have figured.

TOBACCO LEGISLATION.
Regulations Regarding the Wee d in
Old Colonial Days Were
Very Severe.

It is one of the curiosities of old
time legislation that the use of tobac-
CO was in early colonial days regard
ed by the magistrates and elders as
far more injurious, degrading and sim
full than that of intoxicating liquors.
Both the use and the planting of the
weed were forbidden, the cultivation
of it being permitted only in small
quantities, "for meere necessitie, for
phisick, for preservation of the health,
and that the same be taken privately
by anncient men," But the Creature
called Tobacko" seemed to have an in
destructible Life. Mrs. Alice NJ Earle
writes of these early restrictions
about tobacco in "Stage-Coach and
Tavern Days"
Landlords were ordered not to "suf-
fer any tobacco to be taken into their
houses" on penalty Of a fine to the
''victualler" and another to "the party
that takes it." The laws were con-
stantly altered and enforced; and still
tobacco was grown and was smoked.
No one could take it "publicquely,"
nor in his own house or anywhere else
before strangers. Two men were for
hidden to smoke together.
No one could smoke within two
miles of the meeting-houses on the
Sabbath day. There were wicked back
sliders who were caught smoking
around the corner of the meeting
house, and others on the street, and
they were fined, and set in the stocks
and in cages.
Until within few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited,
and innocent cigar-loving travellers
were astounded at being requested to
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote, in 1866, that he
knew men, then living, who had to
plead guilty or not guilty in Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
of Boston.
In Connecticut, in early DAYS, a great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
"a man could smoke once during a
journey of ten miles.
