A bill which, if it becomes a law, will nracticallv nrohibit the aale of cigarettes in the state of Illinois has been introduced In the legislature It propotee an annual license fee of $2,000 on all retail dealers in the little smokers, and one of 15,000 on the wholesale dealers. Accobdiro to a report compiled by the New York World, 23 men have directly lost their lives in the ring ' since the beginning of organized prise fighting. One of the curious results chronicled Is that deaths hare been more frequent sinoe the iniro dactlon of gloves than when they were carried on with Dare knuckles, Of these 23 who lost their lives only two were killed with the naked hands, the other SI deaths having occurrea wnere gloves were used lor tne purpose of preventing dan gerous wounds. . ; Jcstice was slow In aoaomplishing itt ends in the case of the St. Louis millionaire murderer, Dr. Duestrow, but the blind goddess was true in the end. It was a long and hard fought struggle for the triumph of right over the might of wealth, but finally, after three years of delay, the gilded fiend went to the gallows. Guilty of one of the most frightful and inexplicably unnatural crimes in the annals of wickedness, there were but two ways possible to save the demon from the penalty that anoth er would have promptly paid wealth and the insanity plea. The first was at Dnestrow's comman 1, the other he employed, but both failed. It wao a case, too, in which the press of St. Louis, the Chronicle la particular, was as much retponti ble for the bringing of the wretch to the gallows as any other agency en. listed la the cause of jattice. The newspapers were quick to expose every plot to save the murderer's neck, and their alertness, together with their unswerving demand that the law lau penalty would alone suffice, finally brought this son of Satan to the hangman.
