A SKELETON HEAD"
How an Opium Fiend Got Bad Scar,
Last Night.

How an Opium Fiend Got Bad Scare
Last Night.
Chief of Police Rodgers locked up a
youth last night whom he captured in an
opium den. The young fellow was pretty
we'll under the influence of the drug
when he was taken in. Jailer Burke put
him in the old Mortimer cell, which has
the reputation of being haunted by the
ghost of Mrs. Gibson's murderer. The
tiend did not know this, so no trouble
was anticipated from that source.
The prisoner had not been in the cell
more than fifteen minutes, however,
when Burke heard him pounding on the
door.
''If that young fellow only knew he
was in Mortimer's CELL" remarked the
officer to a reporter. ''how he would
kick! With that load OF opium aboard
I believe he'd go crazy"
Rap! rap! rap! rap! came the sound
through the corridor of the old Jail. Then
there was a yell, and pretty soon it was
evident the lad was crying.
Burke jumped up, went to the cell and
led the pale and trembling youth out into
the office where Chief Rodgers was sit
ting. The chief asked him what was the
matter.
II ouldn't st-stay in th-th-a-at cell
for a th-th-thousand dollars ~ gasped the
prisoner.
"Why, what's the matter with that
cell ?' asked Burke.
II put my hand d-d-Own behind the
p-p-illow," replied the wild-eyed smoker
of lin-shee, ''an' sure's Pm standin' here,
got hold bunch er hair n felt er skele-
ton head ~
''See what opium does for fellowr'
remarked Burke sympathetically. "Well,
all right, my boy; PHI give you better
CELL" and he led him away to one that
was not darkened.
Then the officer concluded he'd go and
examine the Mortimer cell, and see if
there really was anything there calcu-
lated to frighten any one. He returned
in about a minute, with a skull in one
hand and an old wig IN the other. Sure
enough, there was the skeleton head'
and the hair that had nearly thrown the
dope fiend into spasms.
81 reckon these things were put in
there to give Handsome Brady a scare"
said Burke, as he laid the CHASTITY relics
on chair; but if the poor devil ever
found them there the Coroner would have
job, sure"

BIGAMIsT AND SLAVE DEALER.

Interesting Admissions Made by
Local Boss Chinaman.
There is a Third-street Chinaman who
is very anxious TO recover possession of
one of the women who voluntarily left
here on Monday with Mrs. Green, Matron
of the Mission Home in San Francisco.
He wants Chief Rodgers to get the
woman back again, as he says she is his
wife and it cost him about thousand
dollars to get her. lie claims she was
married to him year and half ago by
Justice of the Peace. but does not hesi-
tate to admit that he has another wife in
China.
The latter, he says, he doesn't care about
probably because she is too far away to
be made remunerative-but it is quite
natural that he should want possession of
the other one long enough to get back
what she cost him.
Here is a pretty picture, right in our
midst, of man admitting that he had
committed the crime of bigamy, and had
bought his second wife at a cost of thou
sand dollars here in this community-iu
free America-just as the planters of the
South used to purchase slaves.
There is a great deal about Chinese
methods that is not known to members
of Congress, otherwise there would be

MORE DECEPTION ON TAP.

The republican press is again paw
ing the way for another attempt to
manufacture public sentiment by its
usual deceptive methods. As an IN
dication of this, we observe every day
illusions to prospective republican
victories in the spring elections in the
cities of Kansas, which, it is said,
will show the sentiment of the people
opposed to the revolutionary prac-
tices of the Peoples party;" as
though the cities of Kansas were ever
anything else than republican.
It is evidently the purpose of these
patriots to herald such victories as
may occur in our cities, republican
though they always have bsen, as in
dlcative of a growth of republican
strength; and other states will be
flooded with this kind of rot for
months to come. 1t will be a repeti-
ton of the similar deceptive and
fraudulent CLAIMS of the same crowd
after the local elections of 1891. They
will use the wires freely in scattering
their falsehoods, and the people will
have to await the slow process of cor
rection afforded only by the weekly
reform press. Such are the methods
by which modern republicanism
hopes to retain hold upon the rem
nsnt of its former adherents.

this country, and he viii probably say
that all this occurred because Of a lack
of understanding by the great masses Of
the people Of the principles Of economic
science, which enabled the msnipulators
with impunitY to direct the financial
legislation of the country, and to dis
criminste in their own interests and
against the interests Of the great produc-
ing classes. When Prof. Agassiz said to
the people OF Massachusetts, NJ am
under the impression that the whole
system Of popular education is superan-
nuated; that what is taught is NO longer
the food that the rising generations most
want, and that the very knowledge that
is taught is not the best, SO that | would
change both the substance and the
methods" he but limited strongly at
practical idea that is taking root and
should continue to grow and spread, un-

ing shall be taught that science that,
more than any other science, the people
need to understand.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

In q recent private letter to the
editor of the ADVOCATE from an old
and esteemed friend in western Penn
sylYania, one of the sblest and best
lawyers in the country, and a man of
large and varied experience, the
writer says:
am now engaged in my ninetieth homi-
eide case, seventy-four of which were the
direct result Of whisky.
Will the readers of the ADVOCATE
please reflect upon the, full slgnif-
canoe of this statement? In the
practice of a single attorney, in the
defense of men who have been guilty
of the crime of murder, seventy-four
out of ninety cases are the direct re-
suit of whisky.
There are those who seem to believe
that the true province of government
is to punish criminals, and that GER
tain kinds of legislation designed to
prevent crime are sumptuary in their
character, and an invasion of personal
liberty. Let the reader consider we'll
the single statement of fact above
quoted, and then reflect whether he
would not be willing to strain his
conscience sufficiently to justify such
sumptuary legislation as may be nee
essary to remove the cause of so large
a percentage of crime, even at the
risk of a slight infringement upon
the domain of personal liberty.

The New York Journal of Finance
of March s has the following respect
ing the action OF the directors of the
American Sugar Refining Company
on the day previous:
1t was officially announced right after 8
O'Clock that the directors of the American
Sugar Refining Company had declared the
regular quarterly dividend of ~ per cent.
on the preferred stock, and per cent. on
the common for the quarter, with an extra
10 per cent. in cash. The dividends were
msdepsyable April2.
The books close March IA, and reopen
April 2. Officials state that the Philadelphia
re6neries and other subsidiary companies
have declared dividends since the publiOa-
ton of the last annual report, which has
given q surplus Of undivided profits Of ovel
10 per cent. This is why the extra dividend
was made.
The directors claim that they have a sur.
plus in cash of $5,OO0,OOO, exclusive of che
money required to meet the special dividend
declared yesterday.

The first purely and distinctive
Populist measure became a law under
the postoffice appropriations. Hon.
Tom Watson tackled an amendment on to
that appropriation bill which granted
$4,000 as fund for experimenting in
free rural postal delivery. This will not
be attempted in villages or crosS-road
towns, but among the farmers absolute.
Mr.. Watson thinks this experiment will
develop into q general free delivery
among the agricultural portion of the
country. AS 1T now stands, the farmers
help pay for delivery mail in cities from
three to ten times each day. Is it any
more than than fair that the farmers
should have chance at some Of those
Ravors? Mr.. Watson thinks it is not,
and hence this experiment. National
