They seemed to enjoy the heavy smoke greatly. and became such confirmed fiends that if they were not allowed to enjoy the smoke regu- lafly they would scream loudly and try desperately to break their chains One of them would chew the burned opium when the pipes were cleaned, and the other seemed to prefer the smoke. Whenever his master would lay his pipe aside, this one would seize it and try to suck out all the smoke that was left. If their master would leave them for few days without smoke. they would both become melancholy and grow exceedingly thln, rejecting all food until they were again indulged
 Dogs and other animals have also been known to acquire this habit and it is said that savage animals, such a. tigers and partners have been trained by teaching them to enjoy opium. Of this last statement, however, know nothing definite. N l. Muu a4a,I s.x- press.

 flush Of joy ont the cheek, A clinglng grasp i'll the hands we rre7s,
 Loves tone when the dear ones speak; Ah- friend. these are better, a thousand fold, Better than gl.ttering heaps of gold. The light Of love in q shining eye,
 Dear arms that around Us tWne, And peace that deepcns as the years go by,
 Unchanged by the I ght of tune: On. these arc the treasures of price untold, Better than heaps of shining gold. The swift warm touch Of dear little hands.
 The music of childish words, Sweet voices that ring from morn till eve, Like songs ot summertime birds; On, these are treasures to keep and hold, Better, far better, than silver or gold. The little home with Yine-elad door,
 And song birds under the cay The bowers where ehildho9d's .-~cs sing,
 To whisper of wind and leaves. Are better than castles grand and old Are better than gifts of burning gold. So speed, speed away, my Chlldhoods dream, Of treasures costly and rare TIItaNc what my loving Father gives,
 With thanks for His tender c3ra; Eai5H0Eeth better q thousand fold, And gIyeth His children ina true5t gold.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Indiana
Democrats will meet at Indianapolis to-
morrow TO nominate q State ticket and
adopt platform, and therefore an extra
degree of interest is attached TO the fact
that at both ends OF the capitol Indiana
holds the floor on the great and absorbing
question OF tariff reform. Mr.. Voorhees,,
in the Senate, spoke on the subject of the
! Presidents message, and Mr.. Bynum, in
the House, addressed himself TO careful
and extended examination Of the
principles embodied in the Mills
bill. Both gentlemen supported in une-
quivocal terms the position taken by the
President on the subject Of taxation, and
il may be assumed, therefore, that they
spoke for the Indiana Democracy on that
point. Mr.. Voorhees, has at times been
claimed by the protectionists, who have
asserted that he represented large follow
ing in his party at home, opposed 10 the
principle oi tariff for revenue only. The
Indiana senator. by his speech today, has
shown the utter fallacy Of that claim, and
has enrolled himself among tho most adj
vanced of tariff reformers.
Mr.. Bynum's speech may take on an
added significance after the work OF the
Indianapolis convention has been com
plcicd. His name is very prominently
mentioned for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton there, and should he become the can
didate his utterances today will answer as
the keynote Of his campaign. Mr.. Bynum
had rather sought TO discourage the use OF
his name in connection with the race for
Governor but his friends have insisted on
keeping il well to the front, and in the
event OF deadlock between the Matson
and the Meyers people, he would be by
far the cstcOmpromisc man that could
be- selected. lie is young able, aggressive,
has the entire confidence and support OF
the labor organizations in Indiana, and
has been one OF the most efficient members
OF the WAYS and means committee in the
preparation OF the tariff bill now under
discussion. lie il n warm personal and
political friend OF Gov. Gray. and should
he bc nominated 10 succeed that gentle
man, would receive the enthusiastic sup
port OF the Governors extraordinarily

OF Blount, Republican, today informed
TnE APPEAL man thathe counted each side
carefully three times, and there were 40

temporary chairman was Taylor man
and declared the Taylor men in the major

The feeling between the two factions OF
