Women Smoke Cigarettes.

Those who pretend to know are of
the opinion that the estimate fur
nished the other day by one of the
largest cigarette manufacturing estab-
lishments IN the country that $4,000
New York women are addicted to the
use Of the weed, is too conservative
OF late years the habit has been grow
ing tremendously with not only the So
called smart women Of the city but
those without societys golden gate.
The steady increase in the number Of
women who go abroad yearly and visit
Paris and other continental cities
where cigarette smoking by women is
regarded as an indispensable part Of
the daily regime, is believed to be re-
sponsible for the popularity of the
coffin nail" here. One woman who
has thus acquired the habit abroad en-
courages others at home to believe
that there is nothing offensive In it.
While 1t has been generally conceded
that cigarette smoking by the fairer
proportion of Gotham's population is
enlisting new recruits every day, some
surprise was occasioned by the an
nouncement by the manufacturing con-
ecrn in question that out of the total
Of S.50o.0OO,000 cigarettes sold last year
In the United States, fully 637 200, 900
were consumed by women. Chicago
next to New York, is the best Gus
toner. In the widespread use Of the
cigarette by women, 1t is said the
United States Is following the present
day trend Of not only France, but Eng
land, Germany and Austria.

Only Near Princess.

Society read with some surprise this
week the statement Of Judge Sanford
b. Dole, Of the United States district
court of Honolulu and former head of
the provincial government of Hawaii,
that Miss Annie Douglas Graham, the
fiance of Jay Gould, grandson of the
famous railroad builder, is not royal
Hawaiian princess after all. For sew
eral months New York has been
treated to a number of picturesque
stories concerning the noble origin of
the swarthy young woman who is to
be married shortly to the brother of
Lady Decies (Vivien Could. Judge
Dole. who has been visiting in the east
on leave of absence, is quoted as
saying that the only claim that the
bride-to- can establish to any noble
pre- emtnence-and 1t is a collateral
rather than a direct claim-proceeds
from the fact that a sister of her
grandmother married a famous Ha-
waiian chief. Gotham thinks it is a
shame that the romantic interest
awakened in the prospect of the mar
riage of the scion of one of the city's
richest and most prominent families to
a real, live princess" should have re-
ceived such a jar at this time. Where
the story started originally no one pre-
tends to say. Whoever Is responsible
for putting it forward, 1t is apparent
1t pleased the Gould family, which has
not taken the trouble to disavow the
claim. In their behalf 1t is said that
they had nothing to do with the perpe-
tration of the joke on society and they
saw no reason why they should under
take to straighten the thing out.

Would Not for Nice Sum.

Edna Goodrich, the former chorus
girl who married Nat Goodwin, the
actor, and got from him something like
100000 before she sued him for d.
vorce, is believed to mediate going
back to the stage. This suspicion is
based on the fact that she has just
written a book-a novel, she calls it
on stage life. By those who know the
wiles of the actor folk, this is inter
preted as presaging her return to the
giddy life behind the footlights. The
book, it is said, will picture several
characters well known along the Gay
White Way" Her assertion that they
win be easily recognized has whetted
curiosity as to who they are and how
she will depict them.

MIN Reolain pesert.

John Hays Hammond, special am
bassador of the United States to the
coronation Of King George, expects to
leave this city next week for London.
While abroad the noted mining en-
gineer intends to undertake what he,
considers one of the most interesting
and important exploits in his long and
eventful career-the reclamation Of the
famous desert Of Kara Kun, IN Russia
Turkestan.
Mr. Hammond has already gone into
the gigantic scheme with the car of
Russia, who has given 1t his hearty
approval. The Russian department of
agriculture also has approved 1t, and
as Mr.. Hammond is well supplied
with American capitaI-besides stand
ing ready to invest plenty Of his own
money-his unprecedented irrigation
idea will soon be put to a test.
In effect, the plan is to construct
irrigation works In the southeastern
part Of the desert Of Kara Kun, in the
Transcaspfan territory. Owing to lack
of water this territory has never been
colonized, and is now only slightly
known from the researches Of a party
sent out By Moscow merchants in 1903
With permission from the Russian
government, Mr.. Hammond intends
Transforming the desert INTO good pas
turage and farming lands and then
colonizing it. If the plan succeeds, 1t
will mean valuable addition Of fertile
lands to Russian Turkestan and mil
lions Of dollars for the American capt.
talists interested In 1t.
But Mr.. Hammond isn't promoting
the scheme for the money he thinks
there is in it. To successfully irrigate
the Kara Kun lands means that other
deserts may be similarly reclaimed. He
is simply following out one of his pet
theories.
