In the City.

A large iron pipe has been placed
at the east SIDE of the square at King

ed improvement and one that was
much needed. The square in the past
has been in very bad condition as
the street was about three feet lower
than the crossing at places and there
has been many accidents there. This
is the second crossing of this kind
that has been repaired. but there are
others that need the same improve
ment. The council, however, is GER
tainly doing its part in repairing the
streets.
A new iron plate has been placed at
the crossing at the Episcopal church
on West King street. and the sewer
pipe Is also being cleaned.

INCEssANT SMOKERS.

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 necessarily, 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 gopds
to lady, viii 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 ap.
proach you cigarettes in mouth to
whine for aims. If you ask for tick
cts at a 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.

1t appears from the latest from other
fruit growing belts that the earlier
reports were somewhat inaccurate,
and that there will be big crop in
those sections, after all Prices are
not as high as the growers in this
ssction would like, and the reports
from other sections do not offer much
hope of better quotations. Still, the
Berkeley couny fruit is of such super
Tor quality that it will probably find
a ready sale at fair profit.
