ing former resolution whereby the
superintendent of water works, JnO .

and the monthly pay for that officer
was fixed at s. per month, with such
additional compensation as may
be recommended by the street and
water committee. The new order
is to go into effect May l.
The question of taxing dogs
came up for consideration. The
finance committee at former
meeting reported adversely to the
question, but Thursday night the
statement was made that some new
light had been thrown on the sub
ject since the previous meeting.
The matter was again referred
to the finance committee.
The finance committee was in,
structed to look into the matter of

AN ING ENIOUS PLAN,

The Virginia Constitutional Conven- ton is almost as interesting as the Con- neeticut Constitutional Convention, and several months slower. It seems now to have arrived at a solution of the suf- frage problem. By the approved scheme all who become registered voters be- tween the time of the adoption of the new constitution and January i, 1904 must be able to read or to give a "rea- sonable" explanation of any section of the new constitution when read to them, The expectation is that by Jan uary 1, 1904, all the whites in the state will have been registered, They can not thereafter be shut out from the bal lot except for crime. After that date an applicant for the right to vote will have to pay a poll tax of $1,5O and write clearly his name and address.
 This plan seems half way fair on it's face, but of course if it becomes law it can be unfairly applied, and it prob ably will be-

than is the smoke drawn through the cigarette, Much of the mischief from cigarette smoking arises from this fact the cigarette being consistently held in the mouth until burning of the lips is threatened If the smoke from the burning tip of cigarette be purposely inhaled for q time q sense of stupor sets in, while the smoke drawn through the cigarette may be breathed in the same way with comparative impunity. The same result is obtained with the cigar, but in a still more emphatic way. The use of the cigarette or cigar holder is therefore, calculated to obviate two sources of mischef-the inhalation of the powerful pungent smoke from the lighted end and the introduction of to- bacco juice and oils into the mouth.
 So the Lancet comes to the conclu- sion that when the cigarette is ration ally smoked, and not to excess, it is probably the mildest form of smoking. The odor of Limburger cheese is not, we believe, considered positively un- healthy
