The Opium Smoking Vice Again Brought
Up-A Remedy Wanted.
Officer Thomson was informed yes.
| terday afternoon that a party was
cracking joint. e. smoking
opium-in room over Lee Tails laun-
dry on Fifth street. Going up to the
room the officer found the door locked.
He Knocked, but received no response,
and was preparing to force an entrance
when Tai opened the door. On one of
the hunks i'll the room lay Susie Hay
wood, young aud rather handsome
prostitute, in decided tlishdJiHe. From
appearances she was jus, recovering
from the stupor produced by the drug,
and near by lay the ''iointp or opium
pipe still warm, and showing 9th er
signs OF having been recently used.
TWO ARRESTS.
Officer Thomson arrested both the
parties, the woman on the charge of
being u common prostitute, and Tai
for disorderly conduct. He was COM
PEELED to draw the warrants in this
way, rs there is no ordinance against
opium smoking. The prisoners were

morning.
THE DEADLY VICE,

aleady obtained many devotees in this
city, who almost daily visit the dens
devoted to it, which are rooms at

customer furnishes the pipe and the
opium, but IN most cases the almon-
eyed laundfyman supplies both and

In the case above referred to Tai
claimed that the woman paid him four
dollars month for the use of the
room alone. She told Officer Thomson
she had become such slave
to the habit of smoking that it would
XIII her to quit it.
HIGH TONED CUSTOMERS.
The patrons ofopium dens are not
all what are known as bad charnc-
ters." Respectable women and even
young girls have been seen to enter
them, and are known to remain for
hours IN the trance that the drug pro-
duces. When it is stated that these
places are close, hot and reeking with

Interview with Gen. Wiclham's Com-
petitor-A Few Words Oh Virginia Poli-
tics.
Col. A. w. Jones, OF Ashland, Va, is at the
Arlington. AS the withdrawal by him of his
contest with Gen. Wickham had been con-
strued by bourbon papers as in some degree
traversing statements in Gen. NIahone's adj
dress, u REPUBLICAN reporter called on him
for information. He had lost mono of his
yigor. and secuted the view placed upon his
withdrawal by bourbon enemies. The re-
porter said:
Tho democratic press in criticising Mr..
Mahone's address places you in antagonism
thereto because of the language used in your
card of withdrawal from the senatorial con-
test with Gen. Wickham. May l ask if that
is q proper construction and if you have any
thing to say on the subject?
"Well SIR" replied Col. Jones, "after q
three months campaign of unprecedented
political bitterness and terrorism, pursued as
| was by relentless calumnies, have beon
and am disposed to let the matter drop, aJ
least in the newspapers, but ifanything in my
notice of withdrawal to Gen. Wickham is Lon-
strued as as you say it is, promptly pro.
nounce it entirely erroneous. At the time of
serving the notice 1 don't think knew of
the existence of the address, and certainly
| had not read it.
"The address, taken as an entirety, in
dorse, and heartily believe from information
given me that every material charge therein
could be proven if it were possible to obtain
q fair investigation Of the facts"
"You mean to say, then, that it is impossi-
BILE to obtain fair investigation 2"
81 mean to express it as my honest opinion
that it is impossible in the ordinary course OF
taking depositions; and will say for this
that the fear of this impossibility chiefly in
fluenced mo to withdraw my notice of contest.
When used the language in my notice
(which has boon erroneously construed)
Upon full investigation l am satisfied that
cannot establish the charges set out in my
notice of contest it was mainly because OF
the above fear"
'Is there no way to reach fair investiga
tionW
"In my opinion nothing short of o congress
sional committee, backed by the moral sup
port of the government, will reach the point
"Colonel, when l referred to the criticisms
of the press in the above connection | had il
my mind tho Washington letter TO the New
York Sun of Tuesday, and in the same lette
it was asserted, That at least one case o.
bribery could be proven; : haYe you anything
to say about that"
"If this assertion is intended to refer t,
mo" said Col. Jones, 81 pronounce it eithe
ignorantly or willfully false and challenge
the proof"
