DANGEROUS DRUGS.
The Deadly Habits Become Diseases
Which No Will Power Can Control.

The habit OF using opium in Its different forms
has grown TO an alarming extent the past few
yeats In Anne rica. A comparatively short time
ago it was seldom used, except as prescribed
by physicians. Taken at first to allay pain. it
rapidly becomes a necessity Of existence and
finally assumes despotic control over Its victim
Cocaine has but recently seized upon humanity,
but It's grip is tenacious. The use Of the drug,
as with morphine, saps all interest In life and
destroys noble ambition. Manhood Is sub.

this condition the victim finds himself ~ the all
powerful and deadly grasp of merciless enc

An Interesting Masonic
Ceremony.
Thirty Children of Various Ages
Taken Under the Protection of
the Order Last Evening.

Masonry has manv very beautiful cere-
monies in the work of the various de-
grees, but there is none-at least among
those which the public is permitted 10 wit
ness-more Interestingly or which appeals
more directly to human sympathy than
that which took place at the Golden Gate
Hall last evening under the auspices of
Parfaite Union. No. II, F. and A. NJ.
1t was the performance of the Rite of
Adoption by the order of thirty children.
This ceremony dates back probably more
than $50 years. and occurs at intervals of
five or six years, the last one held by this
lodge being in 1888, when thirty-eight little
ones were take n under the protection of
the order.
The obligations which the order assumes
toward the children are of paternal ma
ture. embracing a solemn declaration that
If their parents should die their offspring
shall be cared for. clothed, fed and edu-
Gated until they arrive at an age when they
are able to 10 for themselves.
The hall was beautifully decorated last
evening, .he tri-color of France and the
stars and stripes being cOnspicuously dis
played, and ferns, roses and Smllax pleas
iDgly arranged.
About 9 o'clock the warden at the door
announced to the worthy master in cere-
m0nious manner that the children were
without and sought admission. and at the
command OF that officer the doors were
thrown open and thirty children, ranging
in age from the little tot of Is months to
the youth or maiden Of Is years. filed up
the main aisle under the crossed swords of
the mem bers of the lodge. who were ranged
on either side of the passageway.
The worthy master made few remarks
bearing. upon the nature of the exercises
aud the obligations the lodge assumed, and
briefly addressed the children upon the
principles of morality, after which the rites
of adoption were administered.
After the completion of the ceremony
several addresses were made, all. with one
exception, like the rest of the ceremonies,
being in French.
The music for the occasion wns volun-
tarily furnished by Mr.. and Mrs. Roeckel,
Mr.. Isenberg and Mr.. Pechin. and the COM
mittee Of arrangements, which had charge
of the programme. consisted OF Messrs. j.
Ladagnous, j. M. Dupas. E. A. Lemoine,

he has been kept from the sight of nearly
every one and his ideD tity hidden from the
public. The police themselves deny that
they have such prisoner in custody and
9 their motives can be easily understood.
They are waiting for convincing proof
It was known TO THE CALL that such a
prisoner was tucked away. He was seen
when arrested. and the attempt of the
police to palm off another man as the in
diyidual in question failed. for reporter
who saw the suspect dragged in early Fri
day morning was able to tell that the man
produced for him yesterday afternoon was
another.
But the most convin cling proof comes
from Clerk Lartigo of The Central lodging
house. on the corner oil Mission and Third
streets. He has been called upon to look
at.every suspect arrested and see if he
could recognize the man who left the
dynamite-loaded satchel at the place where
he Is employed. Lartigo was summoned
yesterday in Sc cret to police headquarters.
he saw the suspect, and what he thinks
is told further on in this article. II seems
as il the police believe they have caught a
man who was implicated in the plot and
are waiting until he is fully identified
and the chain of evidence perfect. w lille
talking Lartigo acted as if he had been
told to keep his visit secret.
1t will be a marvellous story, will this,
when all the facts are known. Enough is
st hand already to connect the dastardly
outrage with others, and the dynamite
used recently and that used several
. months ago has been traced.
Captain Lees has taken a hand in the
matter and the entire police force is busy
with it.

SOAPSTONE MINES IN CHINA.
Carvings Produced for the Foreign
Trade.
London Tim es.

The British Consul at Wenchow In his
last report gives some interesting details
respecting the manufacture of steatite or
soapstone ornaments in China. The mines
are distant fOrty-two miles from Wen
chow aud are reached by a boat journey
Of thirty-ive miles up the river, followed
by land journey of seven miles over
rough ground. The hills containing stea-
tite are owned BY twenty to thirty fami-
lies. who in some cases work the mines
themselves, in Others engaging miners to
do it OH their account.
The galleries are driven into the sides OF
the hills and are often nearly mile ia
length. The composition of the hills is
soft, and the shafts require to be propped
uD by supports of timber; for the same
reason the floors are full Of mire and clay.
so that the miners wear special clothing
m ade principally of rhsa FIBER they lead
hard life, living In straw huts on the
hillside. The stone when first extracted is
soft. hardening on exposure to the air. 1t
is brought out OF the mine in shOvels, and
is sold at the pit mouth to the carvers at a
uniform price of about I'd per pound. This
wonld be when the purchaser buys 1t in
gross, without first selecting it in any way.
When picked over, the mineral varies very
considerably in value according to the
size of the lump, Its shape, and above all
its colors. The colors are given as purple,
red. notified red. black, dark blue, light
blue. gray, white. egg-shell white, 'iade."
beeswax and "froZen." OF these '.jade"
the white variety, not the green) and
frozen" are the most valuable. Indeed,
so valuable is the latter that good speci-
mems of it are said to fetch more than the
real jade itself.
The industry. finds employment at the
present time for some 1000 miners and
carvars. A great impetus was given to it
by the opening of Wenchow to foreign
trade. Previous to that event the chief
purchasers of soapstone were officials and
literary men. and the article most often
carved was stamp or seal. Whom it was
discovered that foreigners admired the
stone articles were produced to meet
what was supposed to be their taste. Such
were landscapes in low or high relief. flow
er vases. plates. card-trays, fruit-dishes.
cups. teapots and pagodas. If left to his own
devices the native carver proceeds first to
examine his stone. much as came0-cutter
would do, to discover how best he can take
advantage of its shape and shades of color.
There Is Tor this reason room for wide
differences In artistic quality, apart alto
gether from the intrinsic value of the min
eral, and carved pieces vary in price from
few cents to $40 and upward. And
among the more purely native articles pro-
duced are, besides the seals. writing mate
rial. as trays for pens, slabs for rubbing
ink and the like; flower vases, square,
round or hexagonal; boxes for sealing
