Female Vagrant Who Is a Slave to Cig arets Given Ninety Days and Others Are to FollowSuperintendent Mc Donald Will Try to Wean Devotees from Their Paper Smokes. Cigaret fiends who have become de generate vagrantls thte the nails' long use of wil bthru deal with by the police and Superintendent Frank Mc Donald of the workhouse, who will en deavor to cure them. Several police of ficials -say that as many petty crimes are due to cigarets as to drink. The first test case was made today when AnWie Eaymer wag sentenced to the workhouse for ninety days, that she might take the cure. In answer to Judge Smith's question, Annie said 4 hat she contracted the cigaret habit several years ago, and had lost her health as well as ambition. She had tried to cure herself, but was toot strong enough, and had gradually become worse, until she was arrested for vagrancy.' In passing sentence Judge Smith said that altho she was not a particularly bad vagrant, a long sentence was the only thing that would help her. He therefore imposed the maximum sen tence, and added that there were others who ought to follow her. Encouraged by this action of the court, several of the officers whose work is chiefly keeping cigaret fiends out of trouble promised to make ar rests in the worst cases. There are dozens of young men', they say, who have not worked for months, because they were addicted to the habit and gradually they have drifted into the crimnal class. The habit is almost as prevelant among the women of certain classes, and Matron Sarah Schaeffer of the Central station says that no partial ity should be shown because of sex.

MELTED THEIR HEARTS Mrs. Rutherford Wins Aldermen with Appeal Against Watermain. Mrs. Jane Eutherford succeeded in having the order for a watermain in Twenty-sixth avenue N E cancelled by the council committee on waterworks, altho she was opposed by Alderman H. Castner, Portius C. Demmg and other New Boston heavyweights. She showed that the special tax for the watermain would be so heavy as to practically confiscate her property, which she had been able to retain only by the most active efforts. She, in an impassioned talk, declared that she had scrubbed floors, waited in diningrooms, tramped forty miles a day over the mountains, and suffered privations at Dawson City in her efforts to raise money to pay the taxes. The talk waB effective, and inasmuch as the street is not even graded, the committee thought that the improvement could wait. The recent drop in coal caused the committee to reiect the bids for Youghiogheny coal, the prices for which ranged from $3.90 to $4.40.
