The Opium Dens.
The war that is being waged on the
Celestials OF this city is only the commence
ment Of what promises to be quite lively
sEirmish. The heathen John, not satisfied
with running his own race reaches out for
the Christian victim to further his devil
ish devices. The sickening details that
nave been published are not even one
halt Of the truth. 1t is almost too horrible
10 put in print, but the number of Young
women who have been caught in the
meshes OF the Chinese opium dens and
houses OF iIlrePute is enormous. The
heathen at first was content with associat-
ing with the
Scarlet Sisterhood,
but tiring OF these total wrecks of hui
manity he bats his hook and fishes in our
better families with alarming success. He
has progressed. The editor of the Chinese
newspaper declares the matter exaggerated,
but your correspondent visited the Mott
street opium joints day or two ago, and
from the conclusions arrived at the half

men, married women and all seemed to
have been shared in the cute Johns trap.
First little opium, then little more, and
soon down the dark corridors of crime
until nothing save eternal disgrace is
stamped on them.
The Cigarette Girls
The question of whether the girl swill hold
out for their rights is one that commands
a great deal of attention now, and the
chances are tine girls pluck will be triumph
ant in the near future. My friend Freuud
is like all men little tender.hearted. but
the words he uttered in favor of the girls
are worth perusal:
Whv should that cigarette girl not have
her share OF life's beauty? She is factor
in the economy of the State. II men are

II. Vanderbilt, who goes TO enjoy himself
in Europe after having pOCketed millions.
Can that cigarette girl enjoy her life on
the money that she earns? She may, by
sheer animal spirits and undaunted vitali-
ty but positive, practical enjoyment is
