in Shooting.

New York. Jan. 31--A remarkable
deal at poker that had it occurred

serious consequences, took place on

Hastings; Jesse Harbon of Butte,
Mont: Francis McDermott of Austin.

Rodman got a pair of jacks to his
three aces. giving him full hand;
McDermot got an ace, filling out a
straight; Curley drew three tens to a
pair of aces and Harbon, three queens
to a pair of Fights
The betting started briskly, and
when about 5000 was up. McDermot
called and laid down his straight, con-
tanning one ace. Rodman laid down
his three aces and when Curley put
his cards on the table, containing two
more aces, making six aces in all, the
members of the party looked at each

SMOKE IF YOU LIKE.
Bishop Carpenter Says Let Women
Smoke If They Like 1t.

Boston, jan 31.-Bishop William Boyd
Carpenter, canon of Westminster and ono
of the most prominent churchmen OF Eng
land, who is in Boston, declares that If d
woman finds pleasure in smoking, that
this pleasure should not be denied her.
This is what Bisnop Carpenter says:
~ on ask me about the social evils IN
England, referring to the growing haoi>
among certain class of women in So
ciety who smoke
There are women in England who are
well thought of who smoke Upon the
ethical part of this matter 1 do not at
tempt to enter. but this much l Will say.
IF the men find it a pleasure to smoke,
why SHOULD that pleasure be relegated ID
the men and not to women?
When We come to find women In TINS
city smoking. as they do in some branches
of high society today, the mere pleasure
of that habit belongs to both sexes.
When you come to consider the nerv-
GUS highly sensitive nature of a woman,
you might argue very reasonably that
such a habit as smoking would be per
manently injurious TO health. looks and
temperament.
Smoking among women will sooner o.
later adjust itself OF that have ho
fear"

pure water. Secretary MacVeagh
has invited number of eminent
scientists to become members OF a

termined the question of what is pure
wine, pure whisky and pure beer. but
is without scientific authority as to
pure water.
The establishment of a pure water
standard viii. it was explained by Sec
rotary MacVeagh to the Topeka State
Journal correspondent, be the first
step of the public health service in
the direction of regulations soon to be
promulgated prohibiting the dispens-
ing of impure water on railroad trains,
steamboats, and other interstate COM

when formulated. will be enforced in
cooperation with the state boards of

Senator MARITIME of New Jersey.
Democrat who will be one of the
leaders in the senate when Woodrow
Wilson becomes president, had a bill
which he urged passed providing for
acquiring land near Washington's zoo
for a public park. This bill has peri
odIcally bobbed up in the senate sew
eral times during the past year and
always objected to by Senator Bris-
tow He again protested yesterday
against its passage on the ground that
the site of the proposed park is with
in a couple of blocks of the zoo.
Il thought if we were expending
money for park purposes in the Dis
trict of Columbia we ought to spend
it in the congested part of the city,
where there are no parks" remarked
Mr.. Bristow.
The Kansas senator's protest is
more interesting when it is known
that he owns a fine residence but
few blocks from the site of the pro-
posed park.
