An Indian Missionary Says stories of Opium
Traffic Are Exaggerated.

An Indian Missionary Says stories of Opium
Traffic Are Exaggerated. 1
Rev. w. e. Hoare, missionary con-
uected with the Wesleyan mission col
lcgc, Madrns, has written TO the Eng
lish newspapers to protest against the
Incorporate language used by persons
who are agitating in favor of suppress
ing the opium traffic lie says their
statements are wildly exaggerated,
and he protests that such erroneous
pamphlets us are ng circulated by
the thousand are unjust to the people
of India, and can advance no good
cause. He speaks of one pamphlet
which is circulating largely both in
England and in India, in which the
Madras presidency is represented as
consuming enough opium to poison its
entire population three times over.
Statistics relating to some other parts
of India, appearing in the same
pamphlet. represent the consumption
of sufficient quantity to poison the
entire population thirty times
over. He shows according to the New
York Sun, that in the Madras presi.
dency only an average quantity of
$1,000 pounds of opium is imported an
nually for a population of more than
35.000,OO0. He thinks that the tenn
pcrance party in England would be in
high glee if only $1,000 barrels of beer
or bottles of brandy were consumed in
Great Britian during wholeyear
The anti-opiuln.pnmphlets also con.
tain narrowing descriptions of the ter.
rible escenes Witnessed in the opium
dens of India. Mr. lloare says he has
visited both the very worst and the
very best dens of Madras The worst
den in the city, he says, is a filthy
hovel which would certainly shock
anyone who had never known any less
comfort and neatness than an English
drawing-room displays But even in
this den he says the place seems decent
enough to one who remembers the reek-
ing odors, glare and language of q
London gin palace. He never
visited this place when the
peace was being disturbed. He
never saw more than twenty men in it
at n time, and never saw any Of the in
mates drowsy. All were awake and
quiet The proprietor Of the place, in
compliance with law, always declines
to take wearing apparel, household
furniture, etc, in exchange for opium,
and sells only limited quantity at a
time-a tola's weight-considerab
less than an ounce. lie allows no bad
characters in his rshop and reports to
the police when any Of them visit him.
The government inspector counts The
number of smokers whom he finds on
each Of his visits to this resort. The
missionary thinks that II this low
opium den is compared with an Eng
lish beer shop the contrast is in favor
of the opium den. He believes in
practical efforts to repress the excess
i've use of opium but protests against
violent efforts to entirely root out the
practice, and says the prohibition OF
the traffic is impossibIc

LADY GOpIyA CAUGHT COLD.

LONDON, Aug. o. = Everybody has
read of Tennyson's Lady Godiva"
and knows the story OF how the lady
took the tax away from the town OF
Coventry by riding naked through the
streets in tho monday. This was
away back in the tenth century, and
they have been celebrating her ami
versary over since ut intervals Of few
years. The other day they had col
cbration with Lady Swimmer ns
Godlva- She was not exactly naked,
but wore flesh-colored tights There
were great crowds to SEQ her ride
through the streets Special trains
were run and everything was fine ex-
cept the weather, which was SO cold
and rainy that Lady Godiva caught
cold.

DENVER. Colo, Aug. 1O.-The hoys

as did the event OF yesterday. The
procession was over mile in length
and several of the divisions were uni
formed in texact imitation Of

as they marched through the

EARTHQUAKE IN GERMANY.

Buildings Rocked and the People Ran
Into the Streets.
berlin, Aug. 9.-An earthquake was
felt today in southwest Germany, in
the neighborhood of the Rhine The
direction of the earthquake was from
the northwest to the southwest and
was felt most severely in Coblenz, Ems
and Wclsbaden. The shock lasted ten
seconds. buildings rocked and glasses
and other articles fell and were
broken. People were frightened and
many ran out of their houses to the
streets. Nofatalities are reported.

why Atchison slasl,cd Rates.


CHICAGO, Aug. 10 Tho nub of the
seemingly interminablc quarrel be-
tween the Western Passenger associ-
alton and tho Atchison is whether or
not the Atchison can Justify its re-
duced rate of Sl2 to Denver and re-
turn. That fact seems to have been
lost sight of in the multiplicity OF ap-
peals to arbitration which have been
taken. The Atchison had the right to
make the reduction if it can show one
case of a limo outside the association
making an equnlly low rate. This it
claims 1t can do. 1t also claims that il
can show numerous cases Of associ-
alton lines making Sl2 or lower net
rate. One fact is the Pixies peak of
the situation. Over 200 command
cries are represented in Denver
and the Atchison contracted for but
one of them. No one claims the Atch-
ison has poorer solicitors than it's COM
petitors, but they could only get the
Ashland co,umandery where its com
petitors secured more than 600 Only
the Atchison, Rock Island and Bur
lington have their own tracks between
Chicago and Denver. and 1t is absurd
on its face to say that rates were nam
tnined and one OF the three through
lines could only contract for ono COM
mandery.
The fact is quietly admitted, moro
over, that concessions and cut rates
were given in nearly every case. The
Atchison found it could get business
only by s!nshing rates to figure
which would &C mpcl travel. and the
result is that about 10000 instead OF
1000 Knights Templars have gone to
Denver. OF these tho Atchison hos
taken about 10000, making gross
revenue of about sl2o, 1000 to that COM
pany
