St. Helena is determined to
suppress juvenile smoking. The
new law that has just come into
force in the lonely little island
would probably be deemed Dra-
CONAN by the average London
youngster, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. Any person giving or
selling tobacco to boys or girls
under the age of 16 is liable to
fine of 20 shillings for the first
offence and 40 shillings for each
subsequent offense. Boys de-
tected in the act Of smoking or
in the possession of tobacco or
cigarettes are liable to fine Of
FIVE shillings and IL strokes with
the birch.

TO MAKE MONUMENT
WIRELESS STATION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Com-
mander Cleland Davis of the navy
has made application to the war
department for permission to use
the Washington monument as
wireless telegraph station. He be-
lieves that from 1t he can send mes
sages to Europe without relaying or
without trouble. The war depart
ment is considering the advisa
bility of allowing the experiment to
be made.
The suggestion when made for
the first time provoked a storm of
protest for the reason that the
proposition then was to have the
monument used permanently for
that purpose. But Commander
Davis has no thought of having the
shaft devoted to such use for any
thing other than an experiment. If
it works successfully he believes
congress would provide substitute
for such high mast without delay.

DENVER. Sept. 1.-THE false

serious losses to merchants in this
city, and now careful lookout is
being kept for the attractive
woman In the loose coat, out of one
sleeve of which hangs an artificial
member.
The recent acquisition to Den
ver's circle of shonlifters wears a
loose silk coat which sets we'll by
reason of the woman being of slen-
der build. and in the left sleeve car
ries an artificial arm. Her left arm
is therefore free and unobserved.
When she finds herself relieved
from the espionage of the clerks
she stretches the concealed arm
out, takes what she wants and
places it In a big bag which is
strapped over her shoulder and
hangs below her waist.
The floor walker of a big store
here obtained a fleeting glimpse
of the woman, who quickly dropped
a piece of lace she had picked up
and hurried out Of the place.

ROAD COMPANIES TO PAY

Attorney Long, local counsel for
the Great Northern, appeared be.
fore the city council last night and
joined with the 0. r. & N. in it's
refusal to pay any part of the cost
of a steel viaduct across Walnut
street at Sinto avenue. The city
council thereupon ordered the cor
poration counsel to at once pro.
coed with an action in court to
compel these railways to bear the
expense of this improvement. This
matter has hung fire for year
and not until recently has the city
been able to get a response from
the railway companies.
The corporation counsel was also
ordered to proceed against the o.
r. & N and all other corporations
interested to enforce the building
of steel viaducts across the danger
Gus crossings at Washington and
Division streets. Owing to the
fact that the city engineer had not
prepared plans for these structures
Corporation Counsel Hamblen said
he could not begin action at this
time. The councilmen seemed to
really mean business in wanting
action ON the abolition of the dan
gerous grade crossings under con-
sideration.
