Doctors do not like TO talk to news
paper men. for good reasons. Doctors
are custOdians OF the best stories in
existence. and when a newspaper man
can worm one Of these stories from such
a source it is too good 10 keep. But OF
course the physician must be kept in the
dark. Even then the physician does not
like 70 talk. because he is afraid his
name might come out. One OF these
specialists was talking in his reception
room the other day and be made this
statement:

THAT SEIZED OPIUM.

Collector Phelps Decides That 1t Must
BE Returned.
The opium seized by Deputy Surveyor of
the Port Gaskill and posse in Chinatown on
Saturday night will be returned to the I" OF
Tended Chinese next week
Collector Phelps has examined into the
merits Of the case. and though, as he says, a
Chinaman can prove anything by plenty of
witnesses if you only give him twenty-four
hours, the evidence produced has to be &C
cepied as bona fde. unless perjury be
proved, and he has determined that none of
the seized opium can be held. The owners
proved in every instance that it had been
imported prior to the 1st of October, when
the Mckinley bill went into effect.
After rendering his decision the Collector
remarked that he had written to the Treas
ury Department that a ruling may be made
whereby all unstamped opium seized in the
future shall be liable to c0ntiscation for not
bearing the Government stamp. The
opium, before being handed over to the
willy Chinese, will be made the subject of
SlO-a-pound imDOst by the Collector of In
ternal Revenue.

POLICE PENSION LAW.
A Novel Point Submitted to the Cour,
for Decision.

A Novel Point Submitted to the Courts
for Decision.
Judge Levy has granted a peremptory
writ of mandate at the suit of Mrs Eliza
beth NJ. Meagher, widow of the late John
Meaghcr, detective of the Police Depart
ment, citing the Police Commissioners to
show cause why they should not pay her
$1,000 pursuant TO the provision of tue Po-
lice Pension Act passed by the Legislature.
The act referred to provides for the pay
ment of the sum named to the widow or sur
yiving family of any deceased police officer
who had served continually more than ten
and less than twenty years. Meagher WAS
veteran officer, having been on The force
more than twenty years.
The matter, which will come up on the
23d inst, has been referred to City Attorney
burst for decision, and it is understood that
the peculiar reading OF the law is due to the
intent OF the trainers to compel police Off
GERS who had served between ten and twenty
years to take advantage of the pension law
and retire from the force. Meagher did not
do this but continued in active service up TO
the time of his death.
The application raises an interesting
point. as several policemen now in active
service have been officers for more than
twenty years, and The Commissioners con-
tend that the law does not allow the pay
meDt OF the insurance in their cases,
