Worse Than Tobacco Cigarettes

London is reported to be in the throes
of n new vice-a vice which is not only
getting society into a turmoil, but Is
also attracting the attention of the
medical fraternity. 1t is the tea-leaf
cigarette habit-one in which women
are becoming the chief adopts, and
which they find great difficulty in over
coming. Once the taste for the new
weed is acquired, it is said the SEN
sation of smoking tea cigarettes is
quite pleasant. Dizziness is caused by
constant smoking and the victims
clutch madly for invisible and
imaginary objects to support them
selves. They finally drop in an ex-
hausted and stupefieti condition, and
then follows that wild state of dream
land said to be as varied as that caused
by powerful narcotics.

REAL HEART OF THINGS.
Its Found Not in the Great Cities ;
But In Country Homes.

out III SouHtFy hiothSSs
"In time the great cities may be-
come dominant. but it will be many
years hence, and l would be sorry
should l live to see the day." said
James ]. Hill, President of the Great
Northern railroad. "The national well
fare depends upon the prosperity of
the farm lands, the mining districts,
the lumber camps-not on the growth
of big cities. The agricultural inter
ests in particular represent the great
est strength of the country, and will
for many years to come.
Yet men stand appalled, at the spec
tacle of metropolis. Let us take
New York, as our most striking ex-
ample-where the visitor gapes at the
crowded markets, the endless traffic,
the hurrying throngs, the skyscrapers,
the roaring factories, the hustle of
commerce, all the urban reek and
riot, and needless of what lies behind,
the hidden motor power, cries:
Here Is the heart of things; here is
the pulse of the national life; here the
life blood of the nation centers, life
blood which, flowing through the veins
of commerce, gives vigor to all the
land" New York, the heart of the
country? Rather New York the par
asite-the blood sucker.
a Giant Exhibition.
At best New York is but a monster
exhibit of the products of mines,
farms, cattle ranges, mills and factor
les, and of the rural homes where gem
ius is born, nourished and inspired.
What more speaking symbol of these
things than the city's skyline. In it
self that skyline of marvellous archi-
lecture, save as it excites wonder, ad-
miration and a sense of enterprise and
activity amounts to nothing. What it
signifies in each ascention and depres-
sion is the comparative values of the
country's material resources.
Concisely, it represents capital, Ia
Dor and raw material. or these three
the city produces not one-in appreci-
able quantity. The raw material, the
men to handle it, the gold TO buy and
sell the finished product, come out of
the ground and from the open spaces.
New York, Chicago, st. Louis, or
any other city, has its inception in the
open country, and its existence is and
ever will be dependent upon the latter.
None recognizes this more quickly
than the city man. He knows from
experience that the city suffers first,
last and most from any national dis
aster. To go no further back than the
coal strike of three winters ago-New

Loosing the Dogs of War.

But it is now war to the knife be-
tween the two forces, trust and anti
trust, thrust and anti-thrust Wheth-
er the trust will be successful and
absorb the independents, remains to
be seen. Probably not, so long as 1t
has to deal with men who know their
actor proteges, know the method of the
trust, know how TO produce a play
with unsurpassed taste and know that
the American people will pay admis-
sion to witness an Incompatible pro
duction all the more willingly because
of the herculean efforts made to pre-

seems to have gotten his knife well in

is beginning already to twist it vigor-
ously.

Cities Not Self-Dependent.

Not only is she dependent upon the
open spaces for men, material and
money, but even for trade. AS COM
pared to the amount of money spent
in this city by out of town buyers, the
sum expended by its own inhabitants
dwindles into insignficance. In recog-
milton of this, the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York annually arranges
with railroads for cheap transporta-
ton, and with hotels for rock bottom
rates, and runs excursions to gather
in the out-of-town buyers.
During the month of August over
400 buyers from the south and west
were in New York, and during Septem-
ber this number largely increased.
Reckoning under the average of past
years each merchant spent more than
$4,000, and thus through the efforts
of the Merchants Association alone
more than S4OOO00,000 is left in the
city each year. But this is merely n
fraction of the trade which the city
receives from the rest of the country
A conservative estimate places the
gross income at S1,250,OO0,000.

AFamous Theatre Site.

Lafayette Theatre is n comparative
ly modern playhouse. and occupies the
site on which formerly stood the Sew
ard mansion, in which Secretary Sew
ard of Lincoln's cabinet lived when
an attempt was made to assassinate
him the same night President Lin
coin was shot. In later years the
house was occupied by Secretary
Blaine.
Last year David Belasco found all
theatres in the national capital with
closely barred doors. He was arrang-
ing to make the initial production of
"Adrea," Mrs. Leslie Carriers latest
success, and found no building in
Washington suitable for conversion
into theatre. except Convention Hall,
probably the largest auditorium south
OF New York, and in years previous
used for an ice palace, for six day bi-
cycle races. athletic meetings, and
other institutions requiring great
space. This had a hall some $50 feet
in length by 125 feet in width, with a
roof carried on huge semi-circular ar
ches rising to a height of nearly fifty
feet above the floor. Such barn as

theatre is built. giving them absolute

The regulations of the District of

against the danger of fire, are ex-

that the trust used as weapon to
thwart Belasco in his endeavor to
have this last production first appear
in Washington as have other plays,
which are known as general successes.
The burden of expense for this work
did not fall upon the owners of Con-

tinuous garden? And did you ever get

Now that the thin edge of the wedge

BIG ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOLS
It Is Thought Reports Will Show Lar.
aer Enrolment Than Usual.

-
From all early indications the en-
rollment in the public schools will!
show a larger attendance this year
than ever before. The figures will not
be known definitely until tomorrow, or
until the principals reports are re-
ceived by Superintendent Coffeen this
evening, at the close of the first day
work. The fifth grades In both the
Rogers and Arnold schools are crowded
to overfiowing, and the teachers are
busy with transfers to the Click and
woodbury.. All of the teachers, with
the exception Of two, who have peen
excused temporarily, were in charge OF
their respective rooms when the
schools opened this morning. Miss
Jessie Hall, first grade Rogers, is not
able to be in school at present, owing
to illness, and Miss Hasseltine Nett
len has been secured to fill the vacancy
until she is able to report for duty.
Miss Florence Miller, Of Casey, second
grade Click, has been excused owing
to the illness Of her father, who has
been stricken with paralysis.
The present indications lead Super
intendent Coffeen to believe that the
enrolment in the high school this year
is especially large. Additional room
for an eighth grade study hall has been
provided. to accommodate those who
are entering their first year IN the
nigh school.

In the District Court.

In the district court today Judge
Caswell listened to evidence in the
case of Mabfe VS.. Denmead, an action
brought to recover on an alleged COM
mission for the sale of real estate. The
jury was waived and the court is
hearing the testimony.
A motion by the plaintiff in the case
Of j. r. Binford. administrator, VS.. the
Iowa Central Railway Company, to
dismiss, was argued this morning. This
is the suit for $4,000 damages for the
death Of Brakeman Penn, of the Gen.
trail, last spring. In It's petition to
remo:e to the federal court the railway
company made mistake and inserted
northern district instead of southern.
The court held this insufficient for
dismissal, and allowed the amendment
of the petition, and the substituting
of southern for northern.
