"HITTING THE PIPE"
Fifteen Opium Joints Said To BE In
This City.

Fifteen Opium Joints Said To BE in
This City.
Mrs. Charlotte Smith made n state.
ment about the prevalence of opium
smoking in this city before the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
which revealed most deplorablc con-
ditlon Of things. Her aim was to in.
duce Senator Blair, the chairman, to
introduce bill preventing the evil, as
no law exists in the District, and in
this she succeeded. She described
Sing Lees place on Tenth street, about
which she had complained to the DO.
lice. Mrs. Smith said that there are at
least fifteen places in the city where
opium smoking is INDUCED in. In
others of them, besides the Sing Lee
dive. children. who certainly ought to
be protected by law, were permitted
to and did indulge in the pastime
of "holding the pipe" On Tenth
street there was to her knowledge an.
other place like Lees, where she had
frequently seen opium smoking going
on after midnight.
There Is another Chinese laundry
near the National Theatre where the
fumes arising from the smoking of
opium are so perccptible as to be de-
tected by all the olfactory nerves in
the vicinity. But the king of the
joints was on X street, in fashionable
portion of the city. This joint, Mrs.
Smith said, is fitted up in great style,
and is run by white woman. Women
and girls in society circles go there and
smoke the pipe, as do shop girls and
school girls. The woman who con
ducts this den has even gone 50 far as
to send out circulars to the female
pupils in the public schools, Mrs.
Smith said.
Senator Blair said that there GER
tainly ought to be law to prohibit
such doings. When he introduced the
bill he would make an explanation of
this condition of things.

WHY Ludwig 1,id Not Marry.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph King of Baltimore
were In Munich at the time of the engage
ment of the late King Ludwig and the
Princess Sophia. at has been the custom
In Bavaria" said Mr.. King to reporter of
the american, "on the occasion of the
letrothal of any of the royal families, to
have engravings Of the parties made and
copies distributed throughout the king
dom. This, Of course, was done at the
time OF the engagement OF young Ludwig
and his pretty hancee. When the engage
ment was abnulled by the King, however,
he determined to destroy the gifts he had
so gladly bestowed among his friends
short time before, and Immediately re-
queaed those who had received copies
Of the then Objectionable en-
cravings to return them forthwith.
Such was the devotion of the people to
their ruler that his order was generally
obeyed. was fortunate enough to get hold
OF one OF the few prints not returned, which
was given me by person not q subject OF
the King, but who made me promise that
i would not reveal the pictures until after
had left Munich. Though Mrs. King and
i were In Munich about six months, we
never heard while there the story OF Lud-
wig presenting to Sophia golden crown as
propitatory Offering 1t was generally
believed there that his betrothed, In his
presence, took from her pocket slightly
soiled handkerchief, which want OF refine
ment so shocked His Majesty that he at
once discarded her. This is said to have
been the beginning OF his afterward very
eccentric career.n
