genius. 1t occurred IN this town
and vas witnessed by Thoe. F.

information. In 1914 Mr.. Badger
came to this town to argue the case
Of the State Bank vs.. Hora.o y i
llams. He was then aspiring to the
place OF United States Senator, to
which place be was subsequently
elected, and his whole social char
scter was transformed. He was
kind, polite, aff4bie to all, even to
demagoqery. He would hail bis ac-
quaintances, mostly new &C
nuaintances across the street. and
would trip across the street to bold
familiar chat with them. John L.
Ehringhaus who was cashier OF the
branch of the state hank IN this plac,
was properl ydisposed to show Mr.
BADGER attention. He had invited him
several times to dine, but bis pro-
fessional engagements were so exact

ZONES TO breakfast with him on the
morning they were to leave for Per
ouimane, where Mr., B. was to ad-
dress the people. The Invitation
was accepted. and their carriage
VAS ordered to the residence or Mr.,
Enringhaus. When Badger and MI
tones entered the house they were
received with elegant courtesy ana
ceremony by Mr. E.and his household
who were society people. Mr. Badger

The following letter from a North

covered with velvet. In the centre

in chamois skin about i inches
thick and probably a inches long

gems set in gold for scarf pin, ID

THE OPIUM sMUGGLERs.

An Eastern Syndicate Has Been RobbinS tn,
Government Of $4,000 a Month.
New YORK, Nov. l2.-The discovery Of the
Wholesale opium smuggling promises interest
ing and startling developments and many
Wholesale druggists in this city are passing an
anxious day.
Benjamin Chase, who was arrested on Tues
day night, was found to have a trunk in which
were packed numerous small cans. There
were 200 cans. weighing about one pound
each. They bear Chinese labels and on being
examined by an expert this morning they were
pronounced to have been cooked and packed
In Victoria, b. C. The sample examined was
not Of nrst-class quality, but quite good enough
Tor general commercial use.
THE afternoon at o'clock Chase will be
brought before u &. Commissioner Shields on
the charge Of having two hundred pounds of
smuggled opium in his possession.
Special Treasury Agent Wilbur who was at
tho custom house by 3 o'clock this morning,
was communicative to certain point. He
said: II have been to Providence concerning

been placing in this city opium at the rate Of
1000 pounds month. Now, knowing the
number Of Cinnamon in this city who smoke
opium and those who do notyou can get sur
Prising estimate of how much opium is used
by Americans.
Concerning the other parties who represent
the syndicate can say nothing at present. l
viii say. though. have men at work all through
New England, from whom l expect to hear very
soon. All the official developments Of the
case will occur at o'clock. Outside Of these
facts there 10 nothing yet ready for publfca-
ton. The duty on opiur, is s12 a pound and this
syndicate has been disposing Of the product at
the same figure. Now every one who bought
the drug at that price must have known some
thing was wrong. because il could not be sold
Tor less than s24 pound il the duty be paid. +"

IT MAKES CANADA WONDER.

The Dominion Sees Nothing New in Ameri-
cans Agreement to Arbitrate.
ToRoNro, Nov. IA special dispatch to the
Empire from Ottawa says:
Attorney General Miller's important an
nouncement that Great Britain and the United
States have agreed to arbitratc on the Boring
sea dispute was puzzler to Ottawa oficialdom.
When in the early sumner the convention
was reached between the two countries
providing for the establishment of
al modus vivendi closure of Boring sea
this year and the sending out Of experts to
study the conditions Of seal life, it was clearly
understood that this was the preliminary to an
arbitration between the mother country and
our neighbors for settlement OF the questions
In dispute. The United States government
months ago accepted the principle of arbitra-
ton. Where, then, is the Importance Of the
Attorney Generals announcement II con-
vention has been signed agreeing definitely to
the scope and nature Of arbitration. which,
perhaps, 10 what the Washington dispatches are
intended TO convey, Il may be observed that no
oAe here has heard anything about it,"
