A NATION OF SMOKERS.
The People of Spain Pun Tobacco In
cessnntIy and in All Sorts
of Places.

Although one often hears that the
tobacco habit prevails universally in
Spain it is impossible to know how
general that habit is until one visits
there, says a London paper. People
smoke incessantly, under all condi-
tions, at all hours and in all places
excepting the church. Men smoke in
the railway carriages; they smoke in
all the tram cars; they smoke in all
the minor theaters; they smoke in all
the restaurants, in the hotel dining
rooms, and, of course, in the cafes.
In the business Office the merchant
and his clerks smoke. In shops the
shopman, while trying to sell goods
to a lady, will stop to roll cigar
cite, which, when lighted, he will
puff in her face. You see conductors
and drivers of tram cars smoking.
All the hackney cabmen smoke all
the time, while even coachmen and
footmen of private carriages some-
times smoke on the box Beggars APP
proach you cigarettes in mouth to
whine for aims. If you ask for tick
cts at n railway Office the clerk lays
down his cigarette as he hands you
the dingy bits of pasteboard. The
innumerable peddlers all smoke ciga-
rettes all the time. The lower-class
women, including the gypsy women,
smoke freely on the streets.

The faculty of medicine has grant

"It will lead to all sorts of COM

pain have not always their wits at
command, and it is quite conceivable
that many people will take the op-
posite drugs to those they require.

Three days later, when Southworth
returned with horse and sled to re-
move the sick man, he found Rice able

had left for him, and which the In

Instead of giving the note to Rice

TIE NAVY RATION.
Immense Amount of Provisions Com
Sumed in n Year by Amer
lean Sailors.

The enlisted force of the navy dur
ing the coming year is expected to
consume 10000 00pounds of frankfurter
sausages and 144,60O pounds of sauer-
Iraut. This is a part of the new navy
ration, for the component parts of
which contracts are shortly to be
awarded covering one years supplies,
deliverable at the various navy yards
and stations. The schedules for these
provisions have been prepared in the
bureau of supplies and accounts, and
it has been one of the interesting
estimates of that bureau to figure
out the amount of subsistence of this
class which will probably be con-
sumed on shipboard, says the Army
and Navy Register. The aggregate
supplies, in addition to the 100000
pounds of frankfurters and the 144,-
600 pounds of sauerlraut are as fol-
lows: 1,150,O0O pounds of fresh beef,
2S7,0O0 pounds of fresh pork chops,
$4,000 pounds of fresh veal, 2s5,OO0
pounds of fresh mutton, 100000
pounds of pork sausages, $4,000
pounds of bologna sausages, 723,OOo
pounds of smoked beef tongues, 141,-
900 pounds of sugar cured hams, 141,-
900 pounds of sugar cured shoulders,
141,000 pounds of fresh beef liver,
2S5,000 pounds of dressed chickens
and 71,S0O pounds of dressed turkeys.

in Behalf of Client.

John Ridout has written to the Commits
sioners protesting, on behalf OF client,

cursory visit to the parlor Of a house. At
the rooms of the personal tax board 1t was
stated today that in the case of Mr.. Rid
outs client the assessors were at first re-
fused admission. On their next visit they

room in the house except one, which the
lady positively declined to let them enter.
They assessed the personal property at
$1,000, and say these figures will stand.
Westcott & Story of 816 18th street have
written to the Commissioners asking that

NEW REGULATIONS.
Response to Protest Against Sale of
Liquor at Entertainments

Ivory G. Kinball, department commander
Of the Grand Army of the Republic, re-
Gently complained to the excise board of
the practice of allowing liquors to be sold
at entertainments held in Grand Army
Hall. The hall is often rented out by its
managers for cake walks, &c, and liquor
is sold until a late hour. The present ex-
else law gives the board discretion to
allow regular saloon keeper to close his
own place of business and transfer his
goods to hall for one evening.
AS a result of Judge Kimball's complaint
a new regulation has been promulgated.
1t provides
That hereafter no permit will be granted
to any licensed dealer to sell Intoxicating
liquors at any bona fde entertainment Of
any society, club or corporation, as provid-
ed for in section of the excise law, unless
satisfactory evidence is furnished the board
that such society, club or corporation is
duly and regularly incorporated under the
laws of the District of Columbia, and. in
the event of permit being granted thu
application for the same must be approved
by the majority of the members present
when such application is considered.
