George Shall'or, of Pittsburg, aged 1!,
wont violently insane at Atlantic City a
lew days ago and Jumped through a plate
glass window in bis aunt's bouse. Phys
icians say that bis Insanity was due en
tirely to the use of cigarettes. Every day
ono can see evidences of insanity on the
part of boys who are learning to smoke
under the delusion that it is manly.
There's nothing manly about smoking.
Hoys are misled by the fact that men do
it, but everything that men do is not
manly by any moans. Men lie, swear
and steal, and yet these, in the right sense
of the term, areas far from being manly
as sucking cigarettes.

"Gum Dolly" is the name which has
been given the chewing gum girl of this
city. Pieachers have recently spoken
foom the pulpit of the girls who persist
in chewing gum on the streets and iu
public places. The habit bas grown here
to such an extent that a well-known so
ciety woman recently past around chew
ing gum after refreshments. Upon every
high way in the city girls from good
homes, who like to be classed with the
smsrt set, middle-aged women and girls
from tho slums can be seen chewing.
The girls chew gum on the trolley cars,
in church, at the play houses, at the base
ball games every whero it is one inccs
seiit grind. When out walking iu the
evening with their escorts many young
women prefer chewing gum to ice cream.

Burglars Again Try Their Hand.
Last Wednesday night another attempt
was made to "blow" the safo in the office
of Sheriff Nobllt, ami but for tbe fact that
tbe "crackers" were partially appre
hended, would doubtless have succeeded
la destroying the safo. Between one and
two o'clock on Thursday morning,
while a couple of our young society gen
tleman were returning from an evenlug
luuction, they heard tbe report of an In
sipient explosion as they wero passing
Ihe steps leading to the court house.
Thinking it might have been some one
shooting at a cat or something of the soi t
they passed on till they reached the cor
ner of Elm and May streets, where they
saw a man lurking in tbe court yard.
Turning back they concluded to make
some investigation, when tbe man started
on a brisk trot and had soon disappeared
froni view, The young men got the Sher
iff out and an inspection of tbe premises
disclosed the attempt to burglarize the
Sheriff's safe. Enough glycerine bad
bocn poured into tho crevices of tbe safe
to have blown the court bouse down.
Tbe fuses bad boon applied, but only one
had been lit, setting off the charge that
had been placed on top of the safe. The
fuse connected with the other charge, at
the lower portion of the Uoor, bad not
been lit. The cracksmen left no evidence
that would furnish a clue to their detec
tion. It 1b not probable tbat the man
seen was the only one connected witb tbe
affair, and as the building was guarded
during tbe remainder of the night it is
probable all bad gooe out to await tbe re
sults of the first explosion, and were not
in the building when the Sheriff arrived
on the scene. The safe was not Injured
to any extent. Tbe most Interesting fea
tuie of this, tbe second, effort within a
year lo go through this safe, is to deter
mine what the fools are after. To begin
with a Forest county Sheriff doesn't get
rich off bis official fees, and If he did he
would not be likely to keep bis wealth iu
common fire-proof recepticle like that
In Mr. Noblil's office.
On Friday night last about 12 o'clock
two or three men were prowling around
Wm. Lawrence's house across the creek,
and by evidences left had tried to raise
some of tbe windows, and were on the
kitchen porch trying tbe door. The
only occupants of tbe house at that par
ticular time were Misses Emma and Ber
tha Lawrence, tbe men folks having been
kept out rather late. The girls heard
stealthy noises about the bouse and got
up to see what was going on. Finding
they were discovered the mauraders fled
precipitately, and in doing so knocked
over a rocking chair on the porch. It
didn't take the girls long to decide on
what thoy would do, and gathering their
wraps about them they bustled across tbe
swinging blidgeaud gave tbe alarm, but
of course ween assistance came there
were no burglars to be seen. Men's
tracks wera discovered about the rear
windows of tbe bouse, and some one re
ports tbat two or three men were seen In
a boat rowing up the back channel about
that hour. It is quite probable that
Sheriff Noblil's visitors and those who
were at the Lawrence homestead wero
the same. It is also quite likely they are
still hanging around the neighborhood,
and may make further etlorts to rob some
of our people. Have your shooting irons
handy, and when they come around give
them a warm reception. A few dead
burglars won't hurt any community.
Veterans' Reunion.

in Egypt when there were only tbe most
primitive means of transportation and
the desert was crossed on horseback. In
her religious and charitable work, Mrs.
Hardy was a pioneer. Wbeu the Y. M.
C. A. was an experiment she gave $1000
toward its support. She also was a di
rector of tbe Rutland street refuge for
young women. She leaves a remarkable
family of three sons, the fourth, Edward

is, on days wbon tbe air is not filled with
red dust.
Some one asks me in a letter if the cities
in Africa were like the American cities.
Could they see Johannesburg only eight
miles from us they would be convinced
that it lor oue is. It is now a city of per
haps a hundred thousand white Inhabi
tants, bas ides natives and othor colored
races, aud is growing rapidly. Quite a
number of very high buildings bavegone
up aud several "sky scrapers" are now
being erected. Street cars are at present
drawn by horses but electricity will
doubtless soon tako their place. The white
population is made up of representatives
from almost every nation 011 the globe,
the Dutch, English and Americans pre
dominating. I suppose that scattered over tbo re
mainder of this gold rand, which is sixty
miles long, are as many white Inhabi
tants as are at Johannesburg. About
sixty thousand natives are employed in
the mires alotie, while many more are
employed In kitchens, barns and many
other places of labor. When you know
that besides the above there are many
Indians aud Arabs, Japanese aud oilier
colored peoples, you will bave some idea
what a mixed population we bave here.
But the above does not satisfy the
mine owners. Claiming that enough na
tive laborers cannot be secured to work
the mines properly, Ihey bave secured
permission from the English government
to import Chinese coolies and the work
of importing bas begun. Some mines
will employ nitives and some Chinese.
One of the compounds in which we
preach is to have eighteen hundred Chi
nese Boon. Many think they could get
plenty of natives if they treated them bet
tor. But be that as it may they are com
pelled to treat the Chinese better, aud if
they prove satisfactory many thousands
will bo bro't to this country .
We had tho privilege recently of at
tending at Jnhnuashurg the first general
missionary conference of South Africa.
Twenty-six different churches (or mis
sionary societies) were represented, and
many interesting papers pertaining to
di lie rent phases of missionary work wore
read.
It w as an inspiration to see somo of the
beads that had grown white in this work.
One man present had been a missionary
forty-eight vears, another fortv-three,
and on down. Wo fell, in comparison,
like babes and yet greatly honored in
having the privilege of being identified
witli those old veterans who sre truly
some of earth's noblist sons and daugh
ters. You have doubtless all rend of the death
of cx presiili nt Kruger. 1 1 is funeral
when his body amies in the Transvaal
will doubtless lie a big alliiir.
Much morn might lie written nhniit
tills wonderful country but it is post time
