SMOKING AMONG WOMEN.


while it may be true that one Of
the greatest reform waves on record
is sweeping over the country" said
William NJ. Darlington, of Cincinnati,
''it has failed to strike in certain
quarters which might be regarded as
among the most important. I mean
by this that it has not extended to
the smoking habit among women,
which has steadily grown in the last
five or ten years, and shows every
indication of continuing to do so.
"In England smoking among wo-
men is now recognized custom
which has ceased to be the subject
OF unfavorable comment. Indeed, 1t
has become so general that the rail-
road companies have been compelled
to put smoking cars for women into
service. These cars are we'll patron
lied, and it is no unusual spectacle
to see them crowded with women
who have become victims of the hab-
it. English women smoke their Gig
arettes in public with the freedom
of men and are astonished if their &C.
lions excite any criticism.
whether the practice should be
condemned or overlooked is a matter
of individual opinion, but personally
l believe that any woman who wishes
to smoke should be allowed to do so.
Certainly she is harming no one other
than herself. If any one is suffering
it is she, and if she wishes to take
the chances 1t is not for others to
criticise. New York Telegram.

GIRL scoRNs ssoo,ooo LEGACY.
Whitestone Society Is Amazed by Her Rejection of 1t. .
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Cynics who consider women mercenary
 doubtless will change their views when
 they learn that Miss Grace E. Mcwill- jams, of Whitestone, rejected a legacy of
 $500, 900 when it was offered to her. The offer was not joke, for the money was
 left to her in the will of John c. McWil- iams of New Haven, who died in the Connecticut city a month ago. Nor was there any mistake. The s3O0,00O was off, fered to her in gilt-edge securities by her own father, Albert McWilliams, who is Manhattan attorney, and as familiar with testamentary documents of all kinds as is the ordinary citizen with rent and tax bills. McWillams assured his daughter the bequest was intended for her and that 1t was in negotiable form. Nevertheless, Miss McWilliams turned up her nose at 1t and point-blank refused to accept it.
 News of the legacy gave Whitestone society. in which Miss McWilliams is ex- tremely popular, an agreeable thrill That sensation was followed by one of amazement when 1t was learned she had declined to receive it. Friends urged her to change her mind. but they failed to move her. Mrs. McWilliams, the girls mother. who was Miss Mabel P. Macdon- { aid. daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George A. Macdonalud, of Manhattan and River head, was equally unsuccessful in efforts to influence her.
 Miss McWilliams gave no explanation of her refusal. She simply would not take the money. There is no provision in the will for other disposition of the be- quest. It is assumed by Whitestone so- ciety the only thing to be done is for Me- williams, who Is made trustee to keep the s3OO,O00 for his daughter until she learns to appreciate it. That may mean a long. time. for just now Miss McWill- jams is only three months old.

CANNON DECLARES
 HE IS NOT A GAR
Speaker Says That Members
 Of House Are In Control
VIEWS ON THE WATERWAYS
Thousands of Millions Will Be Spent for Waterways, Speaker Says, But Insists That Many
 Will Not See 1t.

Washington, December 9-Speaker Can non today declared in a public address that never since 1890 had there been time when, under the rules of the House, either under republican or democratic control, a majority of the members had not been able to register their will in legislation. He was speaking to del- egation of about POO members of the Ohio River Improvement association which, through its chairman, presented him with a memorial urging the improvement of the Ohio river at a cost of 63,OOoOOO, to be paid in bonds.
 q appreciate" said MT. Cannon, that you approach me because l occupy the office of speaker I know that they say that 1 am the czar and that l have more power to bind and to loose than had St. Peter when 1t was said to him, On this rock 1 build my church, but this Is in correct. The speakers function is to pre- side over the house and enforce its rules and nothing more."
 He then declared that in view of this fact it would rest with the committee on rivers and harbors to make recommends tions in this, as in all other matters per- taining to the improvement of the water ways of the country and with the House and then with the Senate and lastly with the President to say what should be done with such a recommendation
 Referring to the suggestion for the is- suance of bonds for the proposed inn provement, he called attention to the fact that at present all improvements of the kind contemplated are made under con- tract and said that the country had never failed to provide the money for such work.
 T cannot tell" he said, "how the money Is to be obtained or the vast im- provements needed, but that there will be sufficient for all necessary changes, am quite certain. In the swing of the twen- tieth century have no doubt that there will be expended no less than $10,0O0,00O,0oo in the improvement of the waterways of the country but of necessity some of this work must be done by those who must follow after us."
 He was not unmindful, he said, that wait on 'the swing of the twentieth cen tury," because, as he well understood, many of them would then be in a region where 1t would be necessary to clothe themselves in asbestos muslin, but he maintained that such a course might be necessary The last suggestion caused loud laughter and two or three responses to the effect that the members of the del egation were not favorable to the thought of delay.

 an unjust tax upon the citizens.
 It was 8 source of great qualification to the American chairman to be frankly told in both France and England that this nation has stepped ahead of both of those nations in the testing materials for build ing macadam roads. Various experiments conducted by the office of public roads have developed the fact that it is possi- ble in road building to obtain a better bonded surface by mixing rocks, such as limestone, with silicious rocks, such as granite or sandstone.
 That discovery-embodied in publica- tions sent out through the United States department of agriculture-has been adopted by some of the British highway egineers, and while in England MT. Page was driven over a number of stretches of splendid highway built by the blending of such materials, and which was com mended by those who built them.
 In conjunction with that phase of high way construction MT. Page was asked if it would be possible for his office to re- cefve about 300 samples of the character istic road-building rocks of Great Britain and make laboratory tests of them.
 It was specifically stated n the official invitation sent from France many months ago that the congress at Paris was called for the purpose of discussing the effect of automobile traffic upon public highways. and. if detrimental, to devise means of overcoming the effect. Asked what con- clusion was reached by the congress, MT. Page said that automobile traffic and it's effect was very thoroughly discussed and that many brilliant papers were present. ed, every phase of the question being treated of As it was impossible to arrive at unanimous conclusion, the question of damage done was left for later deter imitation. It was the consensus Of opin- ion. however, that automobiles driven at ordinary rates of speed are not especially harmful to good highways.
 MT. Page was especially impressed by the laws regulating automobile traffic in practically all portions of France and England. Unlike the laws prevailing in nearly every section of this, country, the motor car restrictions of those countries are framed for the purpose of stopping reckless driving, and the officers respon- sible for their enforcement are not re- stricted as are American officials No speed-limit provisions are incorporated in the laws of France or England. If in the judgment of an officer a motor car driver is reckless, even if proceeding at less than eight miles an hour, he Is subject to arrest If, on the other hand he is pro- ceeding at express speed on a broad thor oughfare free from traffic, and is not endangering the lives or the property of others, he is we'll within his rights and may not be interfered with.
