Juneau Record: Leo Guthrie, Skag
way's popular saloooist wbo has been
visitiDg with bis friends in Juneau for
the last two or three days, 'returned
| borne on tht Georgia tod* \ Mr.Guth
rie says that one of the most striking
things to him in Juneau is the large
number of dangerous stove pipes atound
in the business portion of the city. He
says that were he a property owner
here he would see that there was an
ordinance requiring safe chimneys
built. These stove pipes, no doubt
look dangerous to Mr. Guthrie, because
he hails from the city of brick blocks
and huge smokestacks. In Skagway
such "a thing as a stovo pipe or danger
ous firatraps in the way of old un
occupied shacks is a curiosity.

CRAZED BY CIGARETTES.
Seattle Girl Smoked Eighty-seven
"Coffin Nails" a Day.
With a record of eighty-seven ciga
rettes per day, Isabel Jenks, a pretty
girl nutl 11 member of a well known
family of Seattle, Wash., Is on tlie
verge of Insanity. The habit has such
a hold upon her that she lies awake at
night to pull at the "colHu nails."
When aged but twelve, little Isabel
was taught to roll and smoke the "little
cigars" by a brother, who Is a sailor.
She then secretly began a habit which
she cannot conquer. She begau to be
so Irritable that her parents attempted
to discover the reason for It. They
have told the neighbors that they did
not know their daughter smoked. Her
father Is a cigarette "fiend" and did
not notice the odor of tobacco on his
daughter, while her mother is so af
flicted with astlima that she never
smelled the cigarette smoke or odor of
nicotine.
The girl began to stay out late a!
night, and to prevent her doing this
her parents placed her in the care of
the police matrou, aud to her she con
fessed to using the weed. She says she
has smoked cigarettes as fast as she
could roll them.
"You see," she says, "the first tbiug
In the morning when I awakened was
a cigarette, aud 1 usually smoked teu
before coming down to breakfast.
Through the day I would run to uiy
room aud read and smoke all 1 could.
In this way 1 have often consumed two
packages of tobacco per day. Where
did I get the tobacco? Well, you see,
father uses lots of tobacco, so when
I was sent after the groceries 1 always
ordered several packages, and the gro
ceryman, who was a very particular
friend of mine, kept it from the old
man's sight by changing the order on
the ledger to read Just supplies. I
haven't smoked any for two days now.
I can't, you see."
Miss Jenks is so weakened mentally
that she may be examined before the
insanity board and sent -to the hospital
for the feeMe minded.
OMAHA OUTRAGED.
Modest Mat -ons Mortified by Plaster of
Paris Legs.
A number of women representing
the church societies of Omnha re
quested the police to compel the man
agers of the stores to remove from
their windows the plaster of parts legs
upon whleli the fancy hosiery Is dis
played. The police did nothing, and
thereupon the women appealed to tlj.e
fire aud police commissioners. The
latter have takeu 110 notice, but the
women declare that they will make <x
formal demand upou them to have the
objectionable logs removed. Commis
sioner Robert Cowell Is manager of
one of the stores concerning which
complaint has been made.
"The Art* and police commissioners
are making an effort to clean up Oma
ha," said one of the women, "and yet
they permit these horrid and vulgar
models to be displayed In store win- j
dows. They are disgraceful and lm- j
moral, and they must be removed."
