Of The Evening Star.


LAUREL, Md, January 80. 1902
The country in the vicinity of Laurel Is
now covered with coating of nearly six
inches of snow on the level. AS there is a
light fall of rain prevailing travel over the
roads bids fair to be attended with diff
Guilty. There is feeling nigh to rejoic-
ing on the part of a large number of the
farmers in this section, especially among
those whose lands are sown in wheat. The
crop so far has been very tardy, it is said,
and in some instances it has been noticed
that the farms of some have been plowcd
and seeded a second time. With the liberal
blanket of snow covering the ground great
expectations are entertained for god
crop.
Efforts are being made by some of the
farmers living in the vicinity of this town
to have the road that connected MuirkirH
with the Sandy Spring road reopened. The
road in question has been closed, il is
said, for about six months. and there seems
to be a great desire among some of the
farmers living adjacent to the closed thor
oughfare to have it reopened to traffic.

Cigarette kills a woman.

Mrs. c. e. Chandler died yesterday in At

according to physicians, by smoking a ciga-
rette. Last Friday Mrs. Chandler smoked
part Of cigarette to relieve toothache.
She had a little blister on her lip, and as
the cigarette pained her lip she immedI-
ately threw it away. Her lip began to
swell and ache and soon her whole face
was badly swollen.

the result of inhaling the nicotine, but the
theory Is that the end Of the cigarette cop-
