Opium Smokers.

Most authorities agree that the first
opium smoked by a white man in
America was consumed in California
but there is division of opinion as to
when the vice was introduced. DR..
III. H. Kane of New York, who has
given the subject careful study, says
that in 1868 the practice was begun in
the United States by a California
sport named Clendnyn, but DIR. Allan
McLane Hamilton says that he saw
white smokers in San Francisco Joints
long before that time The habit
travelled rapidly Eastward, and reached
New York in 1876. In Par.i, Mott
and Pell streets among the Chin Sc the
first Joints were opened. NV mere
than So00 Americans are said to be
slavtS to the habit of opium smoking.

The continued disappearance of the
sardines, once so abundant on the coast
of Brittany, has become serious Ca
lamity to the people of that part, where
the catching has been wont to give
employment to 1900 boats and more
than 5000 fishermen, while the curing
and packing for home consumption
and expectation have furnished a liv-
ing to very large number of male
and female hands. The reason of the
disappearance is believed to be the
great change of temperature during
the season, the weather having for the
last two or three years been not only
more valuable, but at times even dur
ing the summer months, comparatively
speaking, cold and stormy. These
changes it is believed have driven the
sardjnes toward other coasts; and up
to the present time there is no token
of their temperance.

Jacob Becker, a laborer living in
Cincinnati, was given a powerful
emetic to ease pain in his stomach, and
began vomiting, and did not stop until
a snake eighteen inches long. and one
large and five small lizards, and a sack
containing a number of eggs were
brought up to light of day. The af-
fair caused considerable of excitement
in the neighborhood, and when Becker
was questioned he said that che had
not been welr' for eighteen years-in
fact, since one day while wandering in
the woods near Frankweiler, Germany,
he took drink of water from a way
side pool, at which time it is probable
he acquired the undesired geological
collection.

Several years ago, according to the
Detroit Ne,rS, Miss Cynthia E. Cleve-
land was an efficient dress-maker at
Pontiac. She got interested in the
temperance cause and became one of
the most efficient workers in Michigan,
and as such was favorably known
throughout the state. Two or three
years ago she went to Dakota, where
she likewise became famed in the anti
beer and anti-whisky cause, becoming
president of the State women's Chris
tian temperance union. Less than a
year ago she was admitted to the bar,
being the first lady to enjoy that high
distinction in Dakota. A short time
ago she had her first case in court, and,
stranger than fiction, it was a woman
on trial for selling liquor without a Ii
cense-and she won her case.

1t is estimated that the crowning of
the Car Alexander at Moscow cost the
impoverished people of Russia some
thing like $10,000,00O. The country
is virtually bankrupt, and a new issue
of treasury bills will be necessary to
meet this foolish expenditure. The
Russian crown is only worth 81, ,500,-
900, and it probably couldn't be pawned
for half that sum. The big Brooklyn
bridge only cost 100000, and it will
be standing monument to the genius
and enterprise of man when the de-
scendants of the Romanoffs are wan
dering beggars. 1t would have been
better if the car had contracted to
have his coronation job performed by
professional crowners for something
like $4,000, and spent the remainder of
the $l0.O00,O0O for new bridge or
railway.

Mr.. Sheridan, humane electrician,
has invented an apparatus for execut-
ing criminals which is designed to take
the place of the clumsy but somewhat
efficacious gallows 1t is simply a
chair, properly insulated and connected
with wires to. a convenient dynamo
electric battery. The victim is seated
in the chair, a connection is made with
the spinal cord, knob is touched, and
he is knocked out gracefully as with
bolt of lightning. Mr.. Sheridan has
made the government present of his
invention, and he hopes by its intro
duction to strip public executions of
their popular horror. He will find it
al uphill business to supplant the
primitive gallows.

AS USUAL.

The railroads have go long pur-
sued a course of doing things in q
mean, accommodating way, that
1t is questionable if they know how
to do anything in an agreeable, OBJ
liging manner. An illustration Of
the way the roads do things is given
in the new freight arrangement
that has just gone into effect on
western pool roads. The new clas-
sifcation materially changes rates
on certain classes Of goods, in one
instance at least raising the article
from frst-class to double first-class,
making the freight about twice
what it was before. As a conse-
quence, tie market is at once I'M
settled as to that class Of goods, the
freight being considerable part of
the total cost. The merchant who
had his goods in before the new
classification went into effect has the
decided advantage Of his neighbor,
whose shipments came along a day
later, and whose freight bill was
twice that Of the first mentioned.
1t would have cost the railroads
nothing to let shippers know ia
month or so ago that new classif-
cation would 60 into operation on
certain day. when all might have
been placed on an equal footing.
However, this would have been fair
and just treatment and hence out
of the line of railway conduct. We
do not know that the new classified
ton materially increases freight
rates as a whole. and only refer to
the matter to show how the rail-
roads treat their patrons when the
latter are powerless.

broad as to preclude the possibility
of people and cars crowding each
other for room. The cable cars are
infinitely and in every way prefer
able to the horse cars as the public
will soon learn after the line is in
operation.
The other false impression is that
some deep-laid scheme is behind
the petition for right of way, the
object of the petitioners being to
obtain some grant from the Council
that can be used to the injury of
the public. We cannot imagine
what is the "little game of
the petitioners, or why they
should have scheme that it is ne
cessary to hold back. We know
what they asked for. and it is prob
ably all they want and certainly all
they will get; it is what will doubt
less be granted as it should be.
There can be nothing very wicked
or adverse to public policy or inter-
est IN the construction and operation
of a street car line in populous
street which demands such line.
We hope the groundless, not to say
senseless, fears and apprehensions
will not be entertained by the Coun-
Gil, and that the required grant will
be given. A cable road will prove
one of the very best improvements
for Salt Lake, and something that
will come into popularity at once.

GROUNDLESS FEARS.

Two erroneous impressions appear
to have been formed in the minds
of some people since the Council
was petitioned two or three weeks
ago to grant the right of way for a
cable railway on Second South
street. One Of these impressions is
that a cable road is an extremely
dangerous institution, killing people
and animals on the slightest provo
cation, and taking special delight in
smashing wheeled vehicles. This
idea has grown out of the circum.
stance that in Chicago three or four
people have been run over by the
cable cars, and some wagons cross
ing the track have been wrecked.
ALI these casualties have resulted
from the carelessness of the persons
managing the cars, or the reckless.
ness of the injured parties. In
no instance has the cable sys-
tenn been at fault. In San Fran
cisco, where the cable roads
have been in operation for years,
there are fewer accidents
from these cars than from the horse
cars. The latter are certainly the
more difficult to manage and con.
troll, and If either car is an enemy
to mankind it is the one that is
drawn by horses. But whatever
the danger from cable cars else
where, there can be little or none In
Salt Lake where the streets are so
