aon and stole a number of articles valued

krohr's cellar and stole a keg of beer. All

beer.
A Good Law.
Perhaps in no city in the state will the
passage of the anti-cigarette law have a
more decided effect thnn Lexington. Here,
perhaps, more cigarettes are used, taking
into account population, than in any other
town in the state. All classes use them
the studied physician, who should, for the
sake of the example he sets his profession,
eschew them above most other men; the
hurried business man, who claims that a
cigar or a pipe consume too much of his
time; the quiet man about town, with
uotliiug bettor to do, and no cure for the
precept; the young manjust now entering
the estate of full manhood; the youth, who
thinks i 'h "smart" to do things he sees
men ,and the things bin younger coin
fibna have not learned; the boy of from
'flye to. fifteen years, who should U- taken
across his father's knee and given such an
aversion to cigarettes us will luit him for
the balance of his natural life.
The sale of the deadly little plague is
helped wonderfully by the students at
Wentworth academy, who seem to delight
in violating one of the rules of the school
and offending the nostrils of those with
whom they accidentally come in contact
ut the same time.
One of these students, hardly more thau
10 yours old, informed an Intkluikn
CEK reporter that he sometimes smoked as
many us four boxes of cigarettes in n day,
and had gone as high us six. Another
smoked six in rapid succession, while he
walked from Sixteenth and Franklin to
the postofiiee, and said that he sometimes
took walks of two or three miles and
smoked constantly at that rate.
The stubs thrown down by these stu
dents and others, some of them luirdlv
more than an half an inch loug.ure eagerly
sought and finished by the small !oys,
black and whites whose purses will not
permit of an occasional whole one.
Another youth with whom the reporter
talked said he had just passed through one
of the most laughable scenes of his life as
he watched his 7-year-old sister learn to
smoke some of his cigarettes. His young
est brother, not quite six, had leeu made
desperately ill with his first one some
weeks ago, but now would smoke six or
eight a day with no trouble whatever.
A colored boy fourteen years old said he
sometimes stole a nickle from his father's
pockets after the latter hod gone to bed
from a hard day's toil in the mines, and
spent It for cigarettes.
There is hardly a square yard of the
pavement on Franklin or Main streets,
from the court house east to Twentieth
street that does not show an empty
cigarette box thrown away tho stub of a
nearly consumed cigarette, or some other
mark of the presence in large numbers of
this morphine-tainted, villlanous smelling
little pest.
A law that provides a heavy penalty
against the dealer who sells a box of cigar
ettes to a boy would hardly be complete
without an additional penalty for the boy
found smoking them, or for the boy's
father who would permit his son to smoke
them.

Wendllnfcr' Lecture. : -
The second address in the lecture sea
son of the Lexington bureau, was deliv
ered by Mr. Geo. K. Wendling at the
opera house last Tuesday night to a
large and attentive audience, all the
seats on the ground floor being taken
and the side galleries filled by the stu
dents of the Elizabeth Aull Seminary.
The; address was a masterful one and
showed that his subject, "Saul of Tar
sus" had Iwen thoroughly investigated at
every point, and as a result the speake r
by his eloquence and originality of
Hi ought was enabled to hold the wrapt
attention of each listener for more than
one and a half hours. Much was ex
pected of Mr. Wendllng by those who
had listened to his magnificent lecture
upon Stonewall Jackson, and they were
not disappointed. Our citizens are cer
tainly greatly indebted to the principals
of our schools for the instructive and
elevating entertainments which they are
providing for them.
