4 Description Of the City.
Raleigh has now about 16, 900 inhabi
tants. 1t has many advantages as well
as charms of location and its healthful-
ness is remarkable. just on the dividing
| line between the oak and pine, with
gently rolling lands on all sides, it has a
most beautiful environment, sure TO

on every side and thus gives, what is a
vital nece ssity, IA perfect natural drain

thoroughness. She will shake the sheets.

window and over chairs, having them all

she pillows will be taken up and thumped
until they are soft and FUZZY and placed in

SMUGGLER RUN DOWN.
Officers Gather i'm Both Him and
His Opium.
HIS ANXIETY BETRAYED HIM
Followed to His Hotel and Swallowed
for Days, He Is Finally Caught
and Confesses.

A snuggier named J. b. Bembois was arrested
by Chinese Inspector Coblentz last evening and
5000 worth OF prepared opium, which was found
in his possession, was seized. Bembois was i'm
mediately taken before United States Commits
sioner Emery. where he admitted his guilt. In
default of 81 900 bonds ne committed to jail
for trial in the United States district court.
Last Sunday Bembois arrived in the city from
FairEaven. He had q small trunk, which he
ordered placed in the same quincy with him,
and displayed 30 much anxiety about it that he
aroused the suspicion of Inspector Cob
lentz, who was at the depot. After
the quincy left the depot the officer
followed it to the Russ house. Then he
went into the hotel and ascertained that the
stranger had been assigned to room S., and paid
for one nights lodging in advance. The trunk.
which was good load for two men, was dragged
up stairs 10 his room by its owner.
The officer watched the movements OF the
stranger closely, and logged his footsteps when
ever he left the hotel. Monday he communi-
Gated his suspicious to Deputy Collector OF Gus
toms Mckenzie, and last evening both officers
went to the Russ house and waited until Benz
bois went up to his room, intending to follow
him, place him under arrest and search the trunk.
Whi.e they were waiting two Cinnamon came to

fcers waited about five minutes and then went

was greatly alarmed and, when in iormed that
he was under arrest for smuggling, became
greatly excited and protested his innocence.
The trunk was opened and in it were found
eighty ive-tael cans OF prepared opium The
man and his trunk were taken to the customs
Office. The two Cinnamon having satisfied the
officers that they were iaundrymen who had
come to the room Tor some clothes, were not ar
rested. Bembois imme lately taken be-
fore Commissioner Emery. He took the COM
M ssioner outside, said it was his first offense
and asked to be let down easy. He said he
brought the opium down from Fairhaven for a
friend, but would not "blow on him." He was
then committed to jail. He gave his name as
John Doney, but he registered at the hotel as J.
B. Bembois, and gentleman who knows him
slightly said his name was not Doney. He is OF
medium size, is about 40 vars of age, and as
sumes an air of respectability.

THE IRISH VOTER.

SEATTLE, March l, 1902.
To THE EDITOR: In your issLe OF yesterday
morning there is reference to the approaching
election and the part taken therein by the Irish
voters. with the use OF my name as an alleged
leader, which affects the situation to such de-
gree that duty impels refutation OF the same
insofar it affects me personally and in any
way undertakes to explain actions or motives.
Primarily the Irish voters are American citi-
zens in the brosdest sense and need no clannish
influence in casting q free, fair and untram-
meled ballot.
The fact that an h-Americau citizen aspires
to political preferment is no mortgage upon the
suffrage of his fellow citizens of like national
character nor does 1t become the dignity OF your
journal to announce that because Irish
American citizen becomes worsted upon the
plain OF political contention and thereafter dis
plays vindictive spirit that there will rally to
such cause the Irish voters.
] am not aware that Mr.. John Collins is op-
posing J. 7. Ronald for mayor, nor is it within
the scope OF my knowledge that Mr.. Collins
actions have engendered any feeling between
himself and any member of the Democratic
party or any part OF the committee having in
charge the affairs of said party, but OF this there
is a positiveness, and l can only speak for my
self, that the alleged opposition to Mr.. Ronald
aspirations Of any man. And l, as an Irishman,
have a far higher opinion OF the so-called Irish
voter than to believe that they would entertain
for amomentsuch clannish or selfish resentment.
