Talking about tho stopping of cigarette
! smoking by employees OF railroads 1t may
be interesting to some to know that a
tacit rule against This practice was in
/ force on the East Tennessee division OF
/ the Southern Railway years ago. and
while no bold-lettered placards forbade IT,
few OF the hundreds OF employees were ig-
norant OF the consequences OF a viola
ton. This is about the story of tho sucl
cessful enforcement of the anti-cigarette
rule:
Maj. T.. X Iugcr known aud related

tendent OF the division For tho enforce

including Supt. Iluger. The Office the
young man occupied was frequently used
as thoroughfare by other employees, and
one had just stroed through putting a
! cigarette before che superintendent hap
pened along. Catching Whit OF the
smoke the moment he entered, the super
intendent glanced quickly about for the
| offender, and seeing no one but the new
conner, exclaimed sternly:
where is he. sir--the man smoking
cigarettes?"
"Just passed through sir" was the re-
ply.
(Which way did that man go?" thun-
dered the major as he boted into the
dispatcher's room in pursuit.
A dozen dispatchers gazed in awe, but
they were either afraid or unwilling to
speak For a moment there was hush
perfect calm--save for tho steady tick
OF the instruments. The dispatchers were
mumbling thanks to themselves that they
were not fiends to cigarettes. AS they
gazed upon tho gallant superintendent

had escaped, and swore never to run the

life some time ago. and has given much
of his time 40 travel, but his name is be-

Christian Science COngre cation.
The Christian Scientists of Savannah
may soon have a new first reader to take
the place of Mrs. Alice Bernard, who re-
Gently left this city for Richmond, where
she is now.
The gentleman that it is thought will
succeed her is Mr.. j. H. Williams of F'itz-
gerald. who is at present the head of the
Christian Scientists of that town.
Mr. Williams is originally of Memphis
but went to Fitzgerald some six years
ago. He was the only person of his faith
in the town at the time, but rapidly made
converts so that now there is an establish
ed congregation of that belief there num-
bering thirty-nine, owning it's own church
building, and boasting an average at
tendance at all regular services of seven
ty-five.
Mr.. Williams was in Savannah about
ten days ago when the matter of taking
charge of the work in this city was
preached to him. He took the question
under consideration, but those that are
in closest touch with him think that there
is little doubt'-that he will accept the
place, and they expect him to assume
charge of the congregation about April 1.
