Mary E. Wilkins and greatest novel. This move
is complete and utter departure from everything else
Miss Wilkins has written. In fact it is not the sort Of
book that a usually writes but has strength
and intensity and humor that thoroughly masculine.
II is the famous authors first story of the sort and is
full of mystery string adventure and dainty ma ural love

live in the readers memory far more permanently and
vitality than David Harum. Whether not Southern

ion in which Miss Wilkins porlrays their laughable

Attention TO Light and

No word was received from Mayor
Wilson regarding the franchise Of the
Commercial Light. Heat and Power Com
pany at the meeting this morning. It
was intimated that before signing the
resolution granting it the Mayor plo-
posed to make the lighting condition N
the city the subject of a message to Coun-
ell on Thursday night 1t is learn t.at
in this message Couno rs attention will
be called to the poor lighting conditions,
the terms Of the charter Of the old gas
company, the fact that while bound 10
make reductions in the price of gas To-
the consumers everytime the profits were
more than u per cent. per annum, no
such reduction had come. and instead,
gas was getting poorer in quality and
proportionately higher in price.
Should such a message be sent TO Coun-
ell it would afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for the appointment Of a commit
tee TO investigate the lighting and power
situation in the city with respect to gas
and electricity and to make a report
which the public could hear and would
know the conditions fully.
1t is not unlikely that should such tC
done the report would be made the basi,
Of legislative investigation and an ex-
posure Of a bad condition Of affairs fol

II do not look on the tobacco habit
as by any means as serious as some
others: but I do believe that it is a
useless, offensive, expensive and in
furious habit that every Christian ought
To be free FROM" said Rev. John D. c.
Hanna. Of Philadelphia, in a sermon
on "The Christian and the Tobacco
Habit"
"The expense Of this habit is an inn
portant and uncompensated burden to
any young man. A wise economy is a
universal condition Of success. Here is
an economy large enough to be in itself
OF considerable Importance, one which
In no way interferes with progress and
self-improvement, and one which tends
to remove the temptations to Incidence
and wastefulness i'm many directions.
The expenditure for tobacco would not
be so bad If IL brought some good re-
suit. I do not claim that every luxury
IS n sin. But an artificial habit does
not pay or bring enjoyment. A decided
reduction of pleasure in a long life IS
almost sure to follow from this appe-
tite.
"The use Of tobacco is completely op-
posed 10 that peaceful possession OF
ones appetites by which they brinf

in easy subjection. he is held in sub
lection TO them.
"The fact of it being positively in
furious TO the body is a most serious
consideration for any Christian. The
laws of health are the laws Of God.
and I am guilty before God IL vio-
late the laws governing my physical
nature as 1 am If I commit theft or
break any other moral law. Physi-
clans say that the most dangerous ply
sical effect is the inability Of the user
TO fight disease. IL takes away the
power Of resistance. Into how many
homes have I entered where the wife
or mother has said to me: The doc
tor says he has a good chance 70 pull
through because he has never used to-
bacco OF alcoholic
"The habit stands in the way Of the
highest attamments of the Christian
life. inasmuch as the aforementioned
effects are sure TO influence the user.
BY continuance TO use tobacco he
shows a lack Of self-mastery over bad
appetites. We Christians like to be
light in the world We cannot afford
10 have a habit that in the slightest
discounts the Christian standing
'rVo one can say that the habit Is a
nice one. If tobacco is chewed or snuff
ed or smoked it is an untidy practice.
Some are more cleanly than others. but

The most serious mutiny within the
Russian Empire since the agitation
following the dissolution of the Douma

rising gives promises of being a hot
one. The garrison of the fortress
mutined, other troops were called out
to quell the mutiners and a bottle en-
sued between the two factions. The
warship in the harbor have sided with
the mutiners and the sailors will not
fire on the soldiers who now control
the fort.
Soical democratic privates Of the Red
Guard have proclaimed a general
strike and labor agitators have gone
