BRITISH PUBLIC SERVICE, In a Pritish government blue book, issued last week, dealing with the un- dertakings of various English munici- palitiés, there 'is an interesting state ment showing the advantage of public management. It concerns the Bristol docks, originally in the hands of a private company. From the very first says the report the company had financially, a difficult task, and the fact of charging = excessive dues to ships using the docks threatened to send the great bulk of maritime traffic to rival porte. The citizens of Bristol, in order to save the port from ex- tinction, obtained power from parlia- ment to take over the docks from the company at an earlier period 'than was provided for in the dock company's lili act. Since coming under » the control ll' of the docks committee "wil their of the coun: progress has = been uninter- rupted. With more moderate dues di- version of trade ended, and the ever | increasing volume of commerce to and from the docks has led to migiy steps forward, : Referring to the Hull, England, tele phones, the report says that the muni met with poblic approval, judging from the rapid ex- tension of the undertaking.

IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY, It's Au Fait for Women to Smoke Washington, Aug. 10.~In this city where society is tinged with the for- ign habits of the diplomatic set, and oo cigarette smoking is so com mon society women, that it is no longer a matter of much comment, there is a strong feeling that the anti- cigarette crusades have been unfair in directing their criticism at one ar two individual women smokers. Among the clergy, none could be found to-day to defend or condone the practice, but there was a general opinion that re cent criticism has been wnjust in a personal way. The rots: it was pointed out,'was ing between the relatives of the young people, the Moores objected, it is said, to, the attentions of Mr. Flack. he Moore girl was an orphan, and the heiress of an estate said to have Feen valued at $50,000 to $100,000, For a long time past she had resided with Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Graham, at the Lisbon hotel, whom, it is said, she considered her warmest and dearest friends. They looked with favor, it is said, upon the attachment of Miss Moore and Jarett Flack as one entire ly propérs During her life with the Grahams, Miss Moore had been-ill of Bright's disease. Through all of her sickness Mr. Flack showed the great love he bore her by the most constant affectionate attenff®n. An engagement existed, it is claimed, and the wedding day was appointed for last June, but the illness of the young girl prevented the marri ceremony from heing per formed, All of the arrangements had to any especial few, but |" rol the grading of its new Tine been 'perfected, it is said, and the wed- ding finery secured. She had looked forward with happiness when she would have recovered her health. She continually grew worse, however, and finally the end was reached to her promising' young life Wednesday. Her' death brought a climax in the life of Jarett Flack, who was so pas sionately and devoutedly in love with her. Shortly alter her death he went to her room in the hotel, it is said, took from a bureau drawer Miss Lo- deen's wedding costume, spread it out on the bed, and then from the same place secured tablets of morphine, it is claimed, which he is said to have swallowed. Flack soon became uncon: scious, as is rted, but was dis covered, and Dr. Beckstead summon- od. The usual methods were used to resuscitate him, it is stated, and after 'wn hour and more of bard work his tife was saved. When he was able to walk alone without assistance the doctor took him to his office nearby, and there young Flack, apparently bound to complete hi¢ departure from this world, is said to have made ga bold dash for some poison he saw among the dactor's medicine and had it not- been for -- the prompt interfer- ence of Dr. Beckstead he would, it is stated, have completed successfully the attempt. After he had fully recovered from this experience, Flack demanded, it is said, that he should be among the chief mourners of the young or » but her relatives are said to have oppos ed it. However, he had that posi- tion at the funeral obsequies, which ofcurred Saturday morning. At the grave young Flack made another scene, it is claimed, refusing to leave it until he was compelled to do so by force, Back of all the opposition to his attentions to the girl on the part of the Moores, is said to be a kinsman of Lodeen's, whom it was desired she should marry. She frowned upon his attentions, it is said, and admitted her love for yomng Flack. This fact is proven to be so in a will which she made, giving her property, as is elaim- ed, 0 Flack. Her guardian was Samuel Moore, an uncle, and he is said to have opposud her attachment to Flack, The mother of Mise Lodeen was formerly a resident of Ogdensburg and her maiden name was Kianh.
