A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
Five Spurious Postal Notes Received at the
Postoffice in This City.

Five counterfeit postal notes were received at
the postoffice in this city, yesterday, and it was
discovered, shortly afterward. that number
had been put in circulation. The banks i'm
mediately posted notices refusing to receive
notes, as the skiliful execution Of the counter
felt caused distrust of even the genuine issue.
The counterfeits all purported to have been is
sued from the postoffice at Young stown, O., and
the name of E. L. Mills was given as the
signature of the postmaster. George R.
Williams is the postmaster The printing Of the
notes seems to be genuine, and it is supposed
that they have been stolen. The amounts for
which each of the spurious notes calls is
81 co. only niue cents less than the limit fixed
by law. The counterfeits which have been dis
covered were received by j. B. and s. g. Hen
dricks DIR. Denkewalter, G. r. Stewart, Joseph
Perry, @. Johneon and W. B. Harris. IT is
thought that the counterfeiter has left the city.
The counterfeit is well executed and it would be
well near impossible to detect it by a mere ex-
animation

A VETERAN SMOKER,

VETERAN SMOKER,
How long have you been smoking9" the
writer made bold 30 inquire, after having
watched her steadily for half an hour. Without
looking up, further than to assure herself that
she was the person addressed, she replied:
"About two hours"
"And how many pipes can you stand at a
timef"
'Inever counted; sometimes smoke all night,
and have smoked for eighteen hours."
"But don't you become unconscious7
"Oh, no." was the rejoiner, with smile, the
interest in her interrogation. II can see you have
never smoked. People don't grow unconscious.
smoking. but that's because they're tired and
not because the stuff puts them to sleep. Its
just like drinking whisky exactiy-some-
times one will go to sleep. when
they're on q drunk, but it's not because
the whisky does it," During this desultory con-
versation concerning the effects OF the drug she
had been busily engaged in filling the pipe,
which task being accomplished, she sank back
and resumed her smoke.
THE VALUE OF PASSPORT.

been kept busy in filling the pipes of the report

left at a summons to the door, and after some
brief parleying returned with two other men,

lestial of that city. The reporter looked inquir-
ingly at his friend, who, evidently divlnIng the
meaning of the look, explained that a smoker on
going to "a strange city could get a letter from a
Chinaman with whom he smoked at home, pro-
vided he was known to be all right. such let
ter will admit the bearer to any Chinese opium

TO the trequenter of the places 1t would be only
too evident that it was put there for purpose.
EXTENT OF THE PRACTICE IN INDIANAPOLIS.
"How many opium dens are there in Indian
] apolis2" asked the reporter, as his companion
paid the score and the two stepped out into the
! air.

piciously at the reporter.
Eyes, he smokes" said the other "Let him
think SO, anyhow. They don't like to have any
one about who does not"
The reporter took a pipe and examined it
closely. II consists Of stem about as large as
broomstick, the hole through the middle being
large enough to admit an ordinary sized lead
pencil, and in order to smoke the mouth must be
widely dstended and the smoke inhaled into
the lungs. The bowl is fastened midway on the
stem, is of solid wood, about the size of a wine
glass, and the hole into which the opium is
packed is only large enough to admit a darning-
needle. The opium as prepared, is con tanned In
a wooden box, is of dark, reddish brown hue,
and about the consistency of glue. An instru-
ment similar to a darning-needle is inserted in
the opium, 10 which small quantity adheres,
and this is cooked over the blaze of lamp in
which lard oil is used. AS it cooks the stuff ex-
pands, and is kept from dropping of by the
skillful twirling of the needle by the
by rubbing it smooth against : the
bowl of the pipe at regular intervals. When
done 1t is quickly worked into the bowl, and the
pipe is ready. The smoker then inverts the bowl
over the lamp and inhales the smoke at first
with quick. jerky pun, until the opium is fairly
burning, and then slowly taking long, deep
draughts. The woman engaged in smoking on
this occasion was evidently an adept, for she did
her own cooking, and smoked at least a score of
reporter was present. The preparation and
smoking of pipe requires an expert about two
minutes. and three or four long pulls exhaust
the quantity.

The reporter assured his companion that al
though he had never INDUCED. and had no incr-
nation to do SO, he would like to see others en-
gagged at it, and the young volunteering to
lead the way, accompanied him down the street.
"Do the Chinese here smoke opinm2" asked
the reporter.

In possession of the "open sesame" necessary
to insure attention from the occupants of
the place, for number of raps of his knuckles
on the panel brought an aImon-eyed heather to
admit the visitors to a large room evidently used
as laund"y. The ceiling was too low to admit
of a tall man standing erect. Stacks of IN
washed linen were scattered about in confusion
over the damp floor, and the atmosphere was
laden with the fumes of smoke, which so sick
ened the writer that he felt for an instant as
though he would be compelled TO take an un-
ceremonious leave of his companion and seek
more agreeable atmosphere outside. But he had
gone thus far, and on second thought he deter
mined to stick it out and face the music, smell
and all.
The Chinaman led the way along the wall, to
the rear of the room, and pulled aside curtain,
admitting the fresh arrivals to the section of the
room given over to the smokers, and separated
from the laundry room only by the curtain.
long, wide bench was placed close to the wall of
the room, on which the smokers reclined. 1t

nearer a divan, although, perhaps the Celestial

thought he was constructing divan when he
made it, 1t was made of planed boards, sup
ported at the corners aud at intervals along the

covered with a straw mating, the edges of
which touched the floor. A number

entered, two men and one woman, who turned
their eyes listlessly toward the newcomers. and
continued their smoking un1nterruptedly. The
reporters companion mounted the bench and
the reporter seated himself on a broken-backed
stool, and declined a similar offer.
