LOOKING FOR OPIUM.

Government Detectives Failed to
Find a Box Of 1t in Minneap-
oils.
A week ago a large square box ar
rived over the Great Northern, from the
direction of Winnipeg, marked "Glass.
With Care" 1t came by freight, and
was consigned to II. r. SWEET e Co.,
Minneapolis. The freight was prepaid.
and none of the handlers thought any
thing out of the ordinary with the box,
though it didn't look exactly like a
package of glassware. 1t now turns out
that the box did not contain glassware
at all, but opium. 1t was shipped in the
guise of glassware from the Pacific
coast, via the Canadian Pacific railroad,
and in some manner escaped the eagle
eye of the custom house collector at ST.
Vincent. Two government inspectors
arrived in the city several days ago in
search of the narcotic drug. They were
behind, as is usually the case with gov
ernment detectives, and at the present
time are off the trail. They have lost
the clue, and in all probability Will nev-
er find it again.
The box was called for at the freight
house OF the Great Northern road and
taken away. The eXpressman who
called for the box has disappeared and
so has the box. There is no firm by the
name of ii. r. SWEET IL Co. in this city
and never has been. The government
inspectors, therefore, paid visits to all
the Chinese laundrieS, hoping to find
where the opium had been taken. On
Lung, who conducts place at 243 Sixth
avenue SOUTH was forced to submit to
rigid examination, but he swore by the
memory of Confucius he had never
seen the box nor the eXpressman. The
inspectors had cause to suspect On
Lung, for he bears an unsaVory reputa-
ton among the police, who state he con-
ducts an opium joint. On Sing, at 255
Third avenue south, was also visited,
but nothing could be learned from him,
and it is the opinion Of the inspectors
that the opium was repacked and
shipped in another package to Chicago.
1t is thought the opium was landed
somewhere above Portland, Or, and
shipped to Vancouver, where it was
transferred to the Canadian Pacific.
The two government inspectors stated
TO GLOBE reporter that u great deal
of opium was being smuggled into the
country and shipped to the big Eastern
cities. Chicago got the greater portion
of it. So quietly and smoothly have the
parties interested carried on their work
that it has been impossible TO secure any
hold on them or lay hands Oh the opium.
1t is thought most of the opium comes
through this city and st. Paul, though
it is known that considerable quantities
are smuggled into Detroit from the
Canadian side. The local police were
asked yesterday if they had heard any
thing of the opium smuggling. They,
of course, replied that they had not.

DEATH AND AFTER. u
Rev. William WilKinsOn's Sermon
SuGCested by Annie Besant

Rev. William WilkinsOn's Sermon
Suggested by Annie Besant.
In ST. Andrews church yesterday
morning Rev. William Wilkinson spoke
on death and After" He said:
"Never in all mans experience has
the question of life after death, and the
proof of it, taken up such large part
of the study of cultured minds as today.
for on every hand the man who can
speak any word of wisdom in regard to
existence Oh the other side the grave
receives profound attention. The
theosophist is treading in the
steps of men who have lain
in their tombs thousands of years;
and in asserting that souls existed in a
state prior to this, the modern theosOph-
ist only says what Plato told men, and
what nearly all antiquity thought to be
a fact. 1t is not possible to question
that the disciples of Jesus believed it,
for they asked Him. who did sin, this
man or his parents, that he was born
Blind which is evidence they thought
a man could sin in some state before
birth. How often man can live as
man, or how soon after death he can
come back in some other bodily form,
we are not told. 1t has been held that
sometimes 400 years elapse between the
bodily existences; no one pretendS to
know definitely. And, in the nature of
the case, proof is not to be
had. But the theosophist teaches
that we make our own karma,
being and environment to a very
large extent, and that perfection is the
goal to which all men tend. Whatever
beside the inductlve sciences and men
tai and moral philosophy have done and
are doing, one thing is true, true past
all controversy-theyh have made inves-
tigation in some realms and on some
lines to possess value and to be per-
sued with an accuracy never known till
now. They also have shown that life is
not, even as viewed by the analogy of
things, likely to be blotted out by, what
we roughly call death. These subjects.
life, purpose. destiny, have a perennial
interest in every age; they spring up in
new forms. The question, is death a

Not to Be Shot Yet.

CITY OF MEXICO. Dec. 1s.-The re-
port that Col. Nieves Hernandez, who
is charged with having aided Cara to
escape, would be shot on Monday next
is incorrect. The case is now on ap-
peal to the supreme military court. The
hearing of the appeal was originally
fixed for Monday, but has been indefi-
nitely postponed on account of the alb
sence of the defendants counsel.
Later information is to the effect that
the case of Col. Hernandez will be
heard in a month.

OPENED THEIR RINK.

The Minneapolis Skating club, new
organization, opened its rink on the
river near the steel arch bridge with
series of races yesterday. The attend
ance was not SO large as it might have
been, probably because the tournament
mad not been advertised extensively.
Six events were on the programme.
The first race, one mile, between John
Sam and John Nelson. was won
by Nelson in 1928. g. A. Sill
berg and S. A. Johnson, the
contestants in the second race,
Dne mile. both fell. Sillberg won in
1905. John Nelson won the five-mile
race against Charles Turnquist i'll 16:42.
G. Baker ran quarter of mile OH the
Ice against time in 1:01. John Sam de-
feated Anderson in One-mlle race in
$3.50. John Nelson skated a half mile
against time in 1:30, This was good
performance, considering that it was
done without pace makers.
Next Sunday the club will bring off
another series of races at the same
place. The programme has not been
completed yet. One Of the events will
be a running race between &. Baker and
Frank Bunce.

divider. or does it unite men?' will be
debated with fervor which only can
end by knowledge.
ut is vital fad to remember that all
religions which have had wide accept
ance have taught that death does not
end all. Where, and how men will live,
what they will do, or how much they
will know, has received different, often
strange, answers; but that they will
live has been taught with one accord.
1t is curious fact that mems own per-
Sonal characters have had much influ-
ence in determining their views on this
subject. The Indian has before him,
over the river of death, a happy hunt
ing ground. The enthusiast with little
knowledge, and low ideas of pleasure,
has his eternal home in singing sa-
loon. where endless anthems rise and
fall which illustrates the truth that
the eye sees what it brings power to
see. 1t is.a flct more curious still that
men of great learning, who have them
selves been Christian men, and firm be-
levers in the Holy Scriptures, have said
truth Of life past death. except
through revelation, and large
part of christendom has said
no revelation. outside the Bible, will be
given to men. Yet tits not easy for
any man to tell why God should not
now, if need be, appear to us as He did
to Moses at the bush. Why should not
God appear now to His saints as well as
to Elijah? Nay, more, il Samuel came
back in the presence of Saul and Moses
at the TRANSPORTATION, is there any rea-
son known to man why the dead should
not now return OH wise business, TO
show men in this materialiStic age the
positive continuity of life? 1t is now a
danger as real as it was to the Jews for
men to transgress in shifting the Holy

sin distinction from the view and
faith of the ancient pre-existence OF
souls and Its modern eXpOnents. the the
osophists, the Jewish and the Christian
Scriptures, teach clearly that each man
has body, soul. spirit; that in all the
wide world man is separate absolutely
in identity from all his fellows. Smith
never becomes Jones, OF Robinson Rob-
erts. Death does not destroy the l, the
Me: with all it means in majestic sol
elmitv and responsibility. 1t is here
that the orthodox faith is SO unlike the
theosophist view. There is no doubt
that in the minds of educated men the
whole subject of our future life is in
transitional state. There are now no
such views of God and the future of
men as filled the sermons of the purl-
tanS. But the deep meaning of life,

The law of action comes in

view that the rule of all worlds, the
supreme authority of law, has eternal

THE QUAPAWS WISE.

BAXTER SPRINGS. Kas., Dec. 1S.-The
Quapaw Indians are preparing TO make
a vigorous fight against the passage by
the house of the bill which passed the
senate last Monday for the allotment
of their lands. The chief, the council
Iors and majority of the tribe have
signed protest which Will at once be
sent to Washington and presented bysa
committee of three to the committee on
Indian affairs. The Quapaws want their
lands allotted, but do not like the bill
which has passed the senate, which they
claim is in the interests of ring of land
sharks and certain lawyers. The bill
was slipped through the senate without
considerations but strong effort will be
made to kill it in the house.

MRS. ANNIE BEsANT.
Her Lecture Is Criticised by Rev
w. 8, SampIe


The audience last evening at the peo-
ple's meeting, held in the Lyceum the
ater, was large. The subject of Rev.
w. S. Samples discourse was "How to
Grow Old" 1t dealt with the material
aud spiritual things of life and the five
permanent principles, which, Rev. Sam
pie said, were in human nature. He
referred TO the lecture recently deliv-
cred in the city by the noted Mrs. Annie
Besant, and criticised it not little. He
said she had criticised spiritualism
rather harshly,a and had failed to give the
points in the belief their just credit.
There were many things in spiritnalism
that were good. Mrs. Besant also placed
theosophy and Christianity as being an
tagonistic to each other. According to
his opinion, they were not antagonistic
to each other. No belief or religion
whose aim was the uplifting of the ideals
and the rurthering of the truth should
be considered as antagonistic.
Rev. Sample euloglzed Mrs. Besant
on the manner in which she had en-
phasiZed the spiritual as contrary to the
material. Her utterances and the good
they were doing were grand, he said.

all ref ugees from this country. and it is
ridiculous to assert that they have any
large following or sympathizers. The
outrage which they perpetrated OPP

Together with number of gamblers,
he was in Whites saloon, at 253 Henne

time was employed by King as dealer,
got into controversy with the latter
and drew his revolver. He fired two
shots at the ex-detective, both bullets,
however, landing in the wall. Before
he could fire again King took the re-
volver away from him. Patrolman
Johnson placed Nelson under arrest

and it is thought ran all tbe way to the
city, for when he put in his appearance
at the central station he fell upofl the
floor exhausted. He brought with him
the rope, and showed the officers the
deep marks around his neck where the
moose had cut him. He swears he will
never come to Minneapolis again if fate
is kind enough to allow him to live
within the deep seclusion of the pines.

CHARITY.

When the cooling winds of heaven
Breathe their freshness DER the earth,
Giving parched flowers new birth,
Filling man with JOY and mirth.
The most humble it doh leaven;
No distinctions cause dearth.
This is charity
When Dame Grundy" spreads her mantle
Der the wealthy, wicked kind,
Doth she seek the worldly blind;
Peer into each blackened mind
Close to seek for sorrow, until
All Earth sadness she doth find,
In true charity?
Slowly comes the echo ringing,
No. The saddened hear the sound.
But if God gives freshness round
To soiled flowers which abound.
Why not save a soul that's clinging
TO the darkness? Then it's found;
This is charity.

On the spirit of many little inno- cent, in its waking night hours, is re- fiected shadow, faint but awful, of the judgment day.

Iron Used for Hor.es. shoes.

It is reported that there are 1;945, . o00 horses within the limits of the United Kingdom and Channel is lands. From this number at least one twentieth must be deducted as not requiring to be shod-such as colts, Allies, horses at grass, etc.-this leaves ,Si7, 75o horses wearing shoes. According to the nature of their em- ployment the periods which their shoes last vary-as also the weight of the shoes. The number of times horses are shod during the year ranges from six to nine, but the aver age may be taken at eight, which gives as a result 59, 12s, GOO horseshoes used during the year.
 This number of shoes, including the requisite number of nails, con sumes s, ,392 tons a24 pounds of iron, which at the rate of f7 los. per ton for material and f2 los. for labor-f10 in all-represents n sum of f59S, 92s expended annually in horseshoeing. London Tit Bits.
