ROYAL WOMEN WHO SMOKE.
The Late Empress Elizabeth Partic-
 ularlv Loved the Weed,

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who was assassinated near Geneva, used to smoke thirty to forty cigarettes daily, either Turkish or Russian, and used also to indulge occasionally in small Italian cigars The CZarina smokes cigarettes now and then, and on her desk there are always a couple of golden and engraved cigarette cases, a silver ash tray and a malachite matchholder. The Queen of Italy seldom smokes, but the mother of the King of Spain consumes a large number of Egyptian cigarettes every day. Former Queen Ntalie of Servia owns a magnificent jeweled smoking out fit. and is partial to the habit. The Queen of Roumania. Carmen Sylva. also owns a large number of gold and silver cigarette cases, but she does not much like the aroma of tobacco, The Queen of Portugal. on the other hand, is an ardent lover of the weed. She prefers a special brand of German tobacco which Is sent to her specially from Dresden. Her mother, the Countess of Paris oc- casionally indulges in an Havana cigar ette or two. At the English court the ladies are strictly prohibited from smok- ing by Queen Alexandrias& who will not allow smoking in her presence.

Captain H. N.

Captain Coleman was en- thusiastic about the shooting of Alabama members of the teams who participated and thinks that with some practice with the new Krag rifle they can shoot to the mark, and win prizes in any contest. Alabama National Guard are very much encouraged over the aid the Governor gave in the matter of sending teams to Savannah.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Assistant Post
moster General Wynne recently decided

that he would be continued in service at
S2,100 a year, and was asked to send in
to the department the names Of four per-
sons to be appointed to the newly created
subordinate positions under him.
When his letter of recommendation was
received it read in part as follows: II,

Chicago, Aug. Miss Louise Haby, a
17-year-old girl, told yesterday re-
markable story Of being sold as baby for
$25, of a life bondage and Of final rescue.
She showed letters in support Of her. as
sertion. Her father, she says, bartered
her. He is now in South America. Her
place of service, she asserts, was a South
Dakota ranch.
For two m ,nths the young woman's
aunt and uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. John Mayer,

plans for her deliverance, and yesterday
she arrived from Highmore, S. D.

ed by relays Of ranch owners with teams,
each taking her so many miles and then
delivering her to the next ranch owner
When Miss Haby reached Chicago yes

South Dakota laborer. She wore a broad
brimmed hat, dress of one garment that
covered her entire body and brogan Shoes
heavier than those worn by any Chicago
| laborer. She will at once be placed by her
| uncle in school. *

REDUCTION IN TAX RATE
Available Income Increasing More
Rapidly at Winnipeg Than the
Public Expenditures.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. -
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 1.-THE estimates
for the year 1904 will be passed next
Monday and taxation will probably be re-
duced from limit Of 1925 mills to 22.75:
mills.
This pleasant surprise for the burdened
ratepayer is not due to any considerable
reduction7sn civic expenditure. On sthe
contrary, there is likely to be in every
department. an increase Of expenses large
or small This is only to be expected,
but the value of property is also increas-
ing, and this increase is greater in, pro-
portion than the growth Of expenditure,
consequently while the city is spending
more it Is enabled to tax its, residents
and, owners Of property less heavily.
The assessment value Of city property
has increased in the past twelve months
by the splendid figure of $7,657, $50. A
year ago it stood at $2S,615,810; to-day it
is $50, 273,400, and tax rate of 22.03 mills
on this is estimated to produce $799, 237 A.
This would be an awkward rate to levy
and the rate limit will probably be fixed
at 22.75 mills, which will give a margin
Of $26, 105. r 50,
It is estimated that expenditures. In
1904 will amount to a gross total of
1,042, S51.S3, an increase Of s120,434 81
over the actual figures for last year.
Other receipts from the waterworks Ii
| censes and minor sources is calculated
to amount to $3.50, 665.66, an increase of
| over 100000 on last years actual receipts
Deducting the other revenue it leaves a
net estimated expenditure of $792,18917
Since the estimates were prepared the
council has sanctioned certain additions
| to salaries, which bring the net total up
to $799, 237.42 which it is purposed to raise
| by reduced rate.

crate plot. One month ago the storeroom
of the reformatory was robbed during
lunch hour Many weapons were stolen,
and since then officials Of the reformatory
have lived life Of terror. knowing the
stolen articles We're in the hands Of the in
mates. The strain was beginning to tell
on the officers, and Superintendent Rob
ertson was on the verge Of breaking down,
when Brooks shot and seriously wounded
Gunderman and the plot was unearthed.
Under pressure Brooks made confession
that the weapons were stolen by the in
mates and hidden in a brick pile, prepara-
tory to general assault on the keepers.

was to be shot at a given signal and the
