Early Cigarette Smokers.

Who first introduced cigarettes into
this country? They were first used
in the streets here by the late Laur
,ence Oliphant; and. curiously enough,
the introduction OF this method of
smoking to the English people came
as a result of the Crimean war.
Our officers in Russia. among other
hardships, could not procure tobacco
br cigars. and learned the use of the
cigarette from their French, Italian
and Turkish allies, and also from their
stay in Malta and Gibraltar.
Introduced into London military and
Dther clubs, the new custom made very
slow progress. But its use steadily
spread from 1870 to 1880. when the
fashion was set by the golden youth
of those days.-The Reader.

The Telephone Girl.

A Kansas exchange: The fol-
lowing good word to say for the
telephone girl: When tempted
to speak harshly to central" i" it
might be well to remember the re-
sponse of Mumford Savage, at the
Illinois state association, to the
toast, "The Telephone Girl, ,"
Here's to the telephone girl. An
employe who does the most work
and gets the most abuse for the
money she receives. Who does
the most favors that are unappre-
ciated by those upon whom they
are conferred. Who knows more
about men than the sociologist
does: more about women than the
officers of the federated clubs; /;
more about the manner of child
rem than the teacher does; and
she can tell where every lady and
gentleman lives. She is seen in
all lands and in all climes and
speaks all tongues. God bless
her."

Caught in Kansas City.

Ross Hollingsworth, the Ala
mosa embezzler who lies in the
county Jail waiting for the sitting
of the district court, was captured
in Kansas City after eluding the
officers for about three months.
While in Lexington, Kentucky,
young Hollingsworth, alias j. f.
Williams, purchased new suit of
clothes and gave orders at the
house where the garments were
purchased that the ones which he
had been wearing, be sent to the
Midland hotel, Kansas City. The
clerk mistaking the address, sent
the articles to the Midland hotel,
St. Louis. Hollingsworth, in the
meantime, discovering that he had
left one of the Globe Express or
ders in the pocket of his discarded
clothing hastened from Nelson,
Kansas. where he had been to see
his wife, on to the Midland hotel,
Kansas City, only to find that his
package was not there. Getting
into communication with the party
who had received his order to for
ward the clothing, Hollingsworth
learned of the mistake and then
arranged for re-shipment of the
goods to Kansas City. When he
made inquiries as to their arrival
at the hotel, he was confronted
by officers of the law who took
him into custody. When seached
about S22 in cash was found upon
his PERSONAL that remained of
the 5000 embezzled from the
Globe Express Co. Hollingworth
is one of the smoothest operators
in the business and the chances
are that he will be put away from
the path of temptation for while.

his decisions were too strict. In the
second session of play Mr.. Foster Of Chi

game to give the York team an unmo-

HOPEFUL, NOT CONFIDENT
NAVY'S GAME NOT WHOLLY
SATISFACTORY TO FRIENDS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. November 23.-In a
game which was satisfactory in some
points to the friends of the Navy, but
which caused forebodings in other res
spects. the Midshipmen won from the
eleven of the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute here this afternoon by score of
u to 0. making a touchdown and re-
sulting goal in each half. The visitors
played an excellent game defensively, but
could do little in advancing the hail
Douglas and L. Hodgson, who did the
kicking for the Navy and Virginia, were
about even. and both got off long punts
which were excellently placed. In both
halves the Navy secured an advantage
on account of Dague recovering the ball
after it had been kicked by Douglas and
furnbled by the visiting backs
The touchdown in the first half was
made on a forward pass from Douglas to
Dague. In the second, Richardson, who
had been substituted for Jones. carried
the ball over after Reifsnider had made
a run of nearly 80 yards. Lange kicked
both goals, the second an unusually Diff
f1cult one. The work of the Navy line
was very good. though probably the Wis
itors had no such powerful attack as
they will be called upon to meet when
they play with the Army. Dague played
most brilliantly. and his getting down
under kicks and great eye for the ball
contributed greatly to the midshipnen's
victory Demott. on the other end was
also in good shape. From tackle to tackle
the visitors could do little or nothing with
the Annapolis iinemen.
Lange's playing al quarterback was
along the line Of what he gave promise
of at the beginning of the season He
handled the team with good judgment
and ran back kicks in fine shane One run
was for 40 yards. the longest of the game
Douglas played his usual strong game.
and the Navy contingent was much
nleased with the work of ReifsnidAr and
Douglas materially in the Army game
Jones was not success at fu'lback as he
showed little ability in CARRYING the ball,
and once made A gross tumble after being
tackled. Richardson succeeded him. and
showed up in better form, but has PLAYED
with the team but little during the sea-
son. On the whole, the Navy did not
show finished offensive system and the
hackfield lacked power and concentra-
ton.
While the Navy is hopeful there is not
much confidence that it will again win
from the Army this season.
