With Vacation Money.

confidence in the strong boxes sup
piled by Boardwalk bath houses will

that the only safe place for his bills
was about his immediate person. Sc
curing one of the big bathing hand
kerchiefs, he placed his vacation
"roll' snugly inside and tied it to his.
belt.
"he delight of the surf bathing
made him forget all about his money
and he was seen splashing around i'm
the water with gay abandon.
Suddenly he remembered his roll"
felt for it, and was Mortified to find it
gone. Enlisting nearby bathers he
searched for hours for the missing
bank" but all in vain.

CHIDES MRS. LONGWORTH.
Cigarette Smoking Sets Depraved Ex.
ample, Says Miss CASTOR.

New York, July Eli think it an
outrage that women Of the type Of
Alice Roosevelt (Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth now and Miss Eleanor Sears
the Boston society leader, smoke Gig
arettes and encourage the habit, to
the ruin of many a foolish girl who
believes it smart to follow their vile
example," said Miss Lucy Page Gas
ton, of Chicago, founder of the Anti
Cigarette League of America, to a.
press representative at the Hotel
Martha Washington today, where she
is making her headquarters for her
New York campaign.
Miss CASTOR declares that cigarette
smoking prevails to an astonishing
extent among college girls society
women, actresses and women in gem
eral. She says she will address a
letter of reproach to Miss Sears,
whom she considers the spokes-wom-
an Of the cigarettes oking women,
and that a committee of the league
will visit Mrs. Longworth with anti
cigarette literature and arguments.
"If Miss Sears pays no attontioa to
my letter." said Miss Castor, "I shall
pay her a visit, as I expect to go to
Boston shortly.
Il shall try, with the aid of the
league, to reform cigarette smoking
women, and should like to start in on
Miss Sears and Mrs. Longworth. We
will also go after the boys"
How about reforming the men?"
ooh, that's too big a proposition for
myself or the league just yet. But
with the women it is different. Do I
object to women smaking in private?
Certainly, I object to them smoking
at all.
1T is astonishing the extent to
which smoking in private prevails.
Women smoke in their boudoirs, in
the ladies' parlors of theatres and
steal puffs occasionally at fashionable
restaurants from the cigarettes of
their male companions.
DO you know" continued Miss
CASTOR, there are cigarette-smoking
woman Of old families and of large
wealth in this city who are as de-
praved as any of the unfortunate wo-
men who walk the streets. l have it

that he had not "paraded over South

things were much more important
He had fought for good roads. He
together with others, had helped to
raise the price of cotton.
The country, declared Mr. Hyatt,
had gone wild on extravaganza. and
no one could predict how much high
er the wave would rise. Mr.. Hyatt
said that he wanted better schools
with better paid teachers. If he had
his way, an agricultural course would
be put into the curriculum of every
school In the State. Mr.. Hyatt closed
his speech with a discussion Of the

lege.
Mr. Mcleod said that a political
platform was like a car platform, 1t
was to get in on, not to ride on. If
some of my opponents, he asked, did
not have the prohibition platform to
run on what would they have?
He warned the audience that they
might lose prohibition, for which they
had fought so long, by passing a
Statewide measure. forcing it on
counties which did not want it.
If, said Mr.. Mcleod, any odium
we're attached to the principle Of
local option, his opponent, Mr.. Fea-
therstone, had advocated it four
years ago and two years ago, and two
years was too short time "for him to
get the smell of fire out of his gar
ments."
Mr.. Mcleod asked for promotion

ord was such as to warrant it. He
closed his address amid a tremendous
burst of applause. Mr.. Mcleod, too,

had made him derelict in his duty TO
his district.

ponent. who spoke today in his home
town, was given an ovation by his fell
low townsmen. He attacked Mr.. Le-
gare's record In congress, but denied
that he washed to take advantage of
him on account of his illness. Mr..

jlgger was made for Major James w.
Wadsworth. president of the Board of
Managers of the National Soldiers
Home and will be used by him on
his farm of 10000 acres in Genneeser

jigger of similar design, which Mr..
Chandler made three years ago for the
National Home and was so impressed
with it on the occasion of his last in
spection of the Home that he at once
ordered one for use on his farm.
The peculiar design of the jigger is
an invention of Mr.. Chambers. al
though he has not yet applied for a pa
tent on it. and with its short turning
gear makes it possible for it to be
turned within its own length. Jiggers
OF this type made by Mr.. Chandler are
now in use by Harlow's transfer in
this city for carrying the mails. This
is Mr.. Chambers first wagon ship
ment outside of the State.
