Smoking Compartments for Women


Smoking COMPARTMENTS for Women.
On the Continent smoking Is growing
80 rapidly in favor among the fair sex
that on some of the Belgian railroads
smoking compartments are to be pro-
vided exclusively for women What
has particularly served to bring the
matter before the officials notice Is an
incident that recently occurred when
A young woman entered one of the car
riages on the southern railroad reserV-
ed for ladies, and in a few minutes af-
ter the train had started from Brussels
lit a cigarette and began to smoke 1t.
Whereupon the other women in the
compartment became very indignant,
threatening to complain to the guard as
soon as the train stopped. Il am in a
carriage reserved for ladies'" observed
the smoker blandly, land l am not
aware Of any law which prohibits la
dies from smoking" When the train
stopped, the guard was informed of the
proceedings, but was loath to interfere,
and the result was that when the wom-
an smoker arrived at her destination,
she consulted lawyer, who has now
by an action in court raised the inter
esting question: Should railroad com
panies be compelled to provide separate
smoking cars for women who wish to
smoke while they are travelling? Somt

Poor old Bills soul was struggling

BLACKBURN AND DEHOE.
They Clash Over Confirmation of Sharp Who
addressed Armed TBrong of AMI GOebetities
(By the AssociatedPress.)


Washington, Jan. 13.-There was
sharp controversy in the Senate while in
executive session today over the confr-
nation Of S. G. Sharp, as marshal for the
rev Eastern district of Kentucky, in which
the Senators from that State, Senator
Deboe (Republican), and Senator Black
burn (Democrat), took opposing positions.
Senator Blackburn objected to confr-
nation on the ground that Mr.. Sharp
had presided over mass meeting which
was held in front of the executive man
sion III Frankfort in 1892 while the Goe-
bel-Taylor controversy was at its height
and a few days before Goebel was as
sassinated Senator Blackburn charac-
terized this meeting as an armed mob and
said that it was composed OF about 1,400
men. who had been brought from all parts
OF the State for the purpose of intimidat-
ing Goebel and his followers He charac-
terized the crowd as q mob and said that
no man who would consent TO act as it's
leader should be appointed to an office,
the principal duty of which was to pre-
serve the peace.
Mr.. Deboe retortcd that of the entire
number of people gathered a very small
percentage, about 300 were armed. These
were, he said, from the mountain dis
trscts OF the State and as men there
habitualy carried arms no significance
could be attached to the fact that they
appeared at this meeting armed. The
meeting was indeed he said, quite as
respectable as many over which Mr..
Blackburn had presided. and had been
held for the purpose Of demanding fair
play.
A roll call was taken upon the motion
to confirm and the vote stood 80 to- II in
favor of confirmation
