Doesn,t Like Smoke.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Does not the sign, Positively No
Smoking on the back platform of our
trolley cars apply to persons inside The
car as well? 1t is simply disgusting for
a lady to go into a car and sit down
beside a man with a lighted cigar in
his hand. II you speak to him he will
tell you that he is not smoking, but
what is the difference If he holds a
smoking cigar? 1 have seen inspectors
talking TO men in the. cars who were
either smoking or had a lighted cigar
in their hands. l think that 1t is up to
the Public Service to stop this evil be-
fore it becomes unbearable. Thanking
you for your assistance in this matter.
MRS. j. J.. HOBBS.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
That Webster dictionary offer in your
paper is one of the best and most
progressive offers that has been made
for a long time. What | like about the
book particularly is its handy form
1t also promises wearing qualities that
must not be forgotten.
Although I have been a reader MI my
life, a student of the English language,
and have dictionaries n books of ref
erence at home. l find that, as i nat
ter of convenience, you offer beats
them all. What is more, the book Is
more up-to-date than some OF the
bulky ones l have at home.
l trust that in the interest of duca-
ton generally the offer will be kept up
for a long time. Such a book would
make a most serviceable Christmas
present. y.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT N PROHIBITION.

1O y the commission form of government on the model of the
I'D Walsh act the government becomes a strong ally of the
AntiSaloon League and stimulates local option" was stated
in IA report adopted by the New Jersey Synod at Atlantic City yes
terday. The report strongly favored prohibition, condemned the
interstate commerce law, the greatest of statutes, as "the greatest
enemy of prohibition" and charged collision between the national
government and the liquor interests. But the reference to a COM
mission government contains the essence of the truth. Every pro
hibition voter in the nineteen New Jersey municipalities that have
had special elections under the Walsh act voted for commission
government, instinctively recognizing that it was an open door to
local prohibition.

A RE- OPAiER FOR WoMEN,s FASHIONS.

tn RESIDENT MRS. HOWARD G. WARREN, of the State
liz Federation of Womenhs Clubs, is a daring reformer of her
sea. President Warren would enforce some fashions in
drese, IL curtailment of the length of the hatpin as well as of the
size Cf Tie hat, the abolition of false hair and pufs, the use of the
IIlun,age of slaughtered birds and women's extravaganza generally
i'll decorating their persons. But it is a far cry to reform in these
alticulars. Rfdicule is a most effective weapon in most cases, but
it has never had The slightest effect on feminine fashions. As for
logic, il ma, be cried from the housetops and find no listeners.
But the federation president should not be discouraged. There
may arise IA great reaction and maybe it will be coinddent with the
Incorporation of Il final suffrage amendment in the Federal Con
stituton.

DEATH TO THE MANCHU.

1Ta HE Chinese have long memories. One evidence of that is
their worship of ancestors. A century is only a span in the
history of China. When the Manchus, an alien race, came
into power, seized the imperial diadem and all the Offices of honor
and emolument, they massacred hordes of the Chinese. That was
about two hundred and fifty years ago, and the incident was as
yesterday to the Chinaman. The worm has turned and the hunted
has become the hunter. 1t is the Manchu vino submits to massacre
this time, and wherever the revolution spreads it means death to
the Manchu. The conquering and dominating race may not have a
representative alive on the soil of China at the close of the present
year.

REPUBLICANS TAKE THE STUMP.

O. ONE of the big guns of the Republican State organization
are beginning to be heard. Former Governor Stokes made
a characteristic delverance at Burlington last night, his
speech being mainly a criticism of Governor Wilson and a REPUTATION
of his recent campaign statements. He will make addresses else
where. Former Governor Fort is expected to be in evidence soon.
and former Governor Griggs is expected to speak in Passaic AMI
Bergen counties. Perhaps with a few more prominent speakers of
both parties on the stump the prevailing inertia in politics may to
some extent be overcome.

ANOTHER AVIATOR GOES TO HIS DEATH.

TIA UGENE ELY, the most famous of American ayiators, plunged
IL to his death at Macon, Ga, yesterday, making the Wlst
victim of aviation. In many cases, as in this, the fatal 1'sk
taken was as unnecessary as the speed which the maniac IN the
motorcar puts on to hurl him to his death. Ely was making Il
spectacular din TO thrill the crowd and the airship went wrong.
Had he been content with merely navigating the air his life would
have been spared and his horror stricken audience would have been
much better entertained.

Christy Mathewson, the star twirler
of the New York Giants, is not much
of a story-teller, but he did unreel
this n not long ago at a fan fest at
McGraw's billiard room, in New York:
1.-THE teacher of the English class at
one of the local high schools had de-
manded hat the pupils write for their
daily exercise a short account of a ball
game. One lad sat all through the
exercise time apparently wrapped in
deep thought, but had no exercise paper
to turn in when the teacher de-
manded it.
HE was told to remain after school
and again ordered to write the exer-
else, being given a time limit OF five
minutes by the teacher in which to
complete the essay. The failure to do
SO meant a whipping.
when the time was within a minute
of being up the lads face beamed into
a smile as he scratched this on his
tablet and handed it to the teacher;
Rain. No game He did not get the
licking"
what is the matter with your
face?o asked Charlie Cort of Frank H.
Sterling, as he pointed to five distinct
cuts on Sterling's chin and cheek.
"well, I'll tell you." said Sterling
81 was shaved Tuesday afternoon by
a barber who had bet IS on the Giants.
The bootblack was the courier who re-
layed returns from a nearby bulletin
board. The barber took a small slice
off my chin in the eighth inning when
Devore famed, and when Baker made
his home run in the ninth inning he
nearly cut my throat. And in the
tenth inning he made several more
wide slashes as the Giants were being
put out. If he had not finished before
the eleventh inning was over / don't
think I would have been able to look
at the bulletin board myself"

BRAVE SEAMAN COMMENDED.
Though Badly Burned, He Swan TO
Rescue Another.

For an exhibition of heroism under
most trying circumstances, obeying
orders to save human life when he
himself was suffering from severe
injuries, Charles G. Wood, of Ellicotts-
vile, N. Y, 19-year-old seaman, of
the gunboat Paducah, was commend
ed by Rear Admiral Nicholson. acting
Secretary of the Navy, on Thursday
last.
The motor surf boat of the Paducah
carrying Commander w. w. Gilmer.
his wife, her mother and maid up the
Piscataqua River, was wrecked Sep
tember 4 by gasoline explosion. All
OF kthe party were more or less in
Jured. Seaman Wood was badly burn
ed.
Commander Gilmer, unaware of
the seaman's wounds, ordered him to
save Mrs. GiImer, who had been
thrown in the water by the explosion.
Without hesitation Wood Jumped
overheard, swan to her rescue and
brought her on his back to the sinking
boat. The entire party was then
rescued in rowboats. In letter of
praise to Seaman Wood, Admiral
Nicholson says:
Your implicit obedience under such
trying conditions and your entire for
getfulness of self deserves and re-
ceives the heartiest commendation of
the department.

last two years, and hope to make the
midshipmen hustle. 1t is not likely.
however, that they will be especially
dangerous.

General Grants Affair the Last Official
Function Ashore.

The last official function ashore de-

and full military honors were tender
ed the commander of the Hal Chi.
At the luncheon the usual formal
toasts to the President and the EN-
peror of China were drunk.

SUCCESSOR OF ARMY MULE.
Col. Pitcher Recommends Use Of Motor
Trucks In Mobilization Of Troops.

Col. William L. Pitcher. oc the
Twenty-seventh Infantry. who is
acting as commander of the Depart-
ment of the Lakes, in his annual re-
port for the fiscal year ended June 80
last, recommends the use of motor
trucks in the mobilization of troons
Colonel Pitcher says that there is
a shortage of horses and mules at
every post in his department. The
army is experimenting with the use
of motor trucks as a successor of the
army mule.
Colonel Pitcher also says that com
missaries have been unable to obtain
satisfactory results in purchasing
supplies from merchants in cities
near army posts. The merchants. he
adds, seem to take little interest and
the bids for food supplies are as a
rule high.
Colonel William L. Pitcher is a
brother of Col. John Pitcher. u. s.
A., of this city, whose beautiful
home is on South River. Col. Will
lam Pitcher was in charge of the
affairs at Cuba after the Spanish
Anne rican War and cleaned out the
Havana prison. He became famous
in that city as the Ten-Dollar-Ten-
Days Meester Peecher.'

TO PLAY GAME AT PRINCETON.
Army-Navy Contest On Grideron
Scheduled For November rs
Before Thanksgiving.

No official information can be given
out at the Naval Academy in regard
to the time and place of this years
Army-Navy football game, because
the athletic representative of the in
stitutions concerned have agreed not
to make any statement before the de-
tails are absolutely fixed.
However, it was said this morning
by Lieut.. Commander Harris Laning,
secretary of the Navy Athletic Asso-
citation that final arrangement had
not as yet been reached. In view of
this statement there seems to be no
truth in report published this morn
ing that the game was sure to be
played on Franklin Field again.
1t is understood, however, from an
excellent source, that the game is al
most sure to be played on November
25, the Saturday before Thanksgiving
Day, and that this would preclude
the use of Franklin Field even if the
difficulty about the tickets could be
overcome, as Pennsylvania will still to
have its game against Cornell to play
and would hardly be willing to have
interest in its own CLOSING game di-
minished by the playing of the Army
Navy game few days before.
Under the circumstances, it was
that by the same authority that
Princeton would be the place where
the game would be played. 1t was
said that the Army representatives.
objected to the use of any field owned
by professional club, and this put
the Philadelphia ball grounds out of
the question.
Princeton is perfectly willing for
the soldiers and sailors to come, as
their season will have been finished
a week earlier. Though the playing
of the game at Princeton in 1905
was unsatisfactory on account of
railroad facilities, it is believed that
conditions have improved.

SOLD NAVY SECRETS
Civilian Arrested on Charge Of Reveal
ing Facts About Submarines.

Naval circles are stirred to their
foundation a rumor concerning the
selling by civilian of secrets con
corning submarines.
While the naval authorities have
not been officially notified of the ar
rest of civilian on charges of at
tempting to sell Government secrets
the legal authorities began TO look
up the law on the subject Yesterday
According TO unofficial reports, the
Electric Boat Company. of New York.
has opened prosecution at Boston
against j. A. B. Frauenfelder, an en-
ploye of the Fore River Shinbuilding
Company, charging him with being a
spy and with selling secret informa-
tion concerning the Holland subma.
rine boats.
Under the recent law passed bv
Congress. it appears that Frauen-
telder may not be proved guilty of
charges more serious than larceny or
by obtaining money by false means.
by no clause of the law can he be
with treason nor with being
spy, since it does not appear that he
made any effort to disclose the in
formation to a foreign Government.
The law stipulates that such infor-
nation thus disclosed must have been
obtained from a Government build
ing, reservation or ship. 1t was for
the alleged selling of information to
a New York publisher that the man
has been arrested.
