Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-08-18

But one cigarette does not make a fashion. Certain women may smoke cigarettes in a corner of cafe. Ger tain other very nice women may smoke cigarettes in boudoir.
 In itself the cigarette is not the symbol of crime. But to make it fash ionable-to make it proper-for proper women to smoke in public or in soci ety has not been possible yet With all the radicalism that has appeared with in the past decade, with the growing independence and freedom of the sex, the American woman, or 1t may be the American man, balks at this indul- gence. For all that appears in the pa pers, New York is one of the most con servative of American cities.
 Certainly it is much better form for a woman to smoke cigarette in Savannah, or New Orleans, or San Francisco than in New York, where conservatism sometimes approaches the provincial. For whatever reason the fashion is not yet here.

eral of them claiming New York as their habitat
 One handsome New York girl who does not claim to have been married to Carlton is accused of being his partner in one of many picturesquely criminal enterprises. She is said to have posed for figure photographs to which the heads of respectable women were af- fixed for purposes of blackmail. Carlton confesses to a knowledge of photog raphy Evidently he does not count upon photographic knowledge in any, one else, for he explains his possession of certain poisonous chemicals by say ing that he used the elements in photo- graphic work.
 Throughout the excitement produced by the discriminating revelations Carl ton has not only been cool; he has been gay. He has talked freely to anyone who cared to talk with him.
 He is profuse in ingenious explana- tions. His latest explanation is that he has a double-a sweeping explanation. This double, says Carlton, looks precise 1y like him-even to broken finger 'He broke the fingers himself" Carlton declares, to complete the remarkable re- semblance. This double, Cartons cousin according to the Bluebeard, has been doing all the wicked things of which Carlton is accused. Acting upon his deluding resemblance he even de- ceived Carltons wife for week. Carlton does not say which wife. ] The case has occasioned much dis cussion. The facility with which wo- men may be deceived seems to have been one of the most frequently tra- versed subjects brought up by the Blue- beard story. If the accusations against Carlton are true women seem to have been easy to him-and murder also.

They Mustn't Crow In Mount Vernon
 After 10 P. M.
 MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Aug. 1S- Under a new curfew law of the local board of health Mount Vernon roosters are prohibited from growing between 10 o'clock at night and 6 o'clock in the morning. Dogs are prohibited from barking during the same hours. The law reads:
 "The maintenance of lowing animals, growing cocks, barking dogs and other birds or animals which produce or are calculated to create and emit noises of q degree and kind to disturb the sleep and quiet of the neighborhood within the same hours is hereby prohibited.
 Not only does it restrict the growing of that great American bird whose lib- erty has from time immemorial been guaranteed by the unwritten laws, but the ordinance hits at the Harlem and New Haven railroads by prohibiting the shunting of cars during prohibited hours. The ringing of large bells or the blowing of steam whistles is forbidden also under the penalty of a fine of not less than s nor more than $50 for each | offense.
 As the fire bell and whistle are not exempted it would seem that persons sending in an alarm of fire. thereby causing bells to ring and the big whis- tie to blow, will be liable 10 suffer. The ordinance goes into effect on Saturday. People are awaiting with interest the practical result of the new mandate of the board of health, of which Dr. A. NJ. Campbell, one of the leading physicians of the city, is presi- dent.

 of SIO,OOO,O ,OOO Appropriations.


 WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. It vas officially stated by the isthmian canal commission that of the appropriation by congress of S10,000,000 for the con- struction of the canal there was on April 1, 1905, the date on which the present commission took hold, an avail able balance to the credit of this ap- propriatrm of $7,426,J6S.
 During the month of April the ex- penditures from this appropriation az gregated S475000; during May, $503,- poo: during June, S659, ,000; during July. f710,000; for wages, salaries, materials, supplies and equipment.
 During July there was an unusual expenditure for the purchase of two ships at $6J0,000 each not included in the July expenditures above.
 During the month of August. up to and including the 10th. $250,000 has been expended. This left to the bal- ance of the appropriation on Aug b $2.S16,713, in addition to which each of the two disbursinc officers had in hand SJ00.000 on that date.
 It will be seen from the foregoing that the average expenditure per month, leaving out of consideration the purchase of these two ships. was in the neighborhood of S6J0,000, and at that rate of expenditure the s2.S16.713 , will last until early in January. which is according to the schedule fixed by Mir.

 Remington at san Francisco.
 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug 1s.--The cruiser Chicago. flagship of the Pacific squadron flying the flag of Admiral Goodrich, went aground and later col hded with the Bennington close to the lighthouse and fog signal station on Angel island. in San Francisco harbor, on arrival from San Diego with the disabled gunboat Bennington in tow and accompanied by the naval tug For tune.
 A strong ebb tide was running. and in the current the tow line on which the Bennington was trailing parted. Before headway could be stopped the Chicago ran on the beach. The Ben nington's momentum carried the gun boat close to the stern of the stranded vessel before the anchors took hold.
 The tug Fortune soon got a line to the Chicago and dragged the cruiser clear of the bottom. but when the Chi cago came Of it took sheer straight for the anchored Bennington. The cur rent of the tide carried the Chicago across the bow of the anchored vessel. and there was smashing of metal when the ships came together. Then the two vessels. afouI of each other. went drifting on the tide. Both were considerably damaged
