Chinese Pirates Beheaded with NeetnsfS

Chinese Pirates Bsheaded with Neatnsfi
and Dispstch.
Capt. John Windrow, an old sailor OF
the Pacific, tells this to the Tacoma
Ledger: "While l was in Shanghai
along in 1858 or 80, the ruler OF the
city equipped two steam gunboats Tor
the suppression of the piratical traffic.
One of these he put in command OF IN
American. The boats had been out on
a cruise for several days. and early one
afternoon they returned towing thir-
teen piratical junks which had been
captured. | went aboard to see the
prisoners the boats had brought In.
An iron rail led around the gunwale
of each of the boats, to which were
shackled two hundred Of the most VII
lainous-looking Chinese had ever

was swift in China in those days, and
the next morning they were led out for
execution. In spite Of the horror OF
this wholesale beheading the execu-

misapprehended. If, for example, she
desires an escort to the theater, she
can ask man to 60 with her without
his thinking she is expressing a too
flattering preference for his society.
If he wishes her companionship on any
occasion, she accepts it in the spirit it
is offered. ''The order of the Sill

Beautiful Flower That II the .Tloral

Strangers visiting California are at

that appear in the pasture lands and
by the waysides, says the London II
lustrated News. 1t is the eschscholtzia
(esh-sholts-i-a), which is now the
flower emblem Of California. The ap-
propriateness of this selection is seen
in many ways. 1t is the wild wine
goblet of the state, suggestive, in
color, of the orange and the precious
metal. The Spaniards. indeed, called
it el orc de-copo- cup of gold. In
the month of October, 1916, the ship
Rurick entered the bay of San Fran
cisco. The naturalist Adalbert von
Chamisso was on the Rurick, and
named the poppy for his companion Of
the voyage, one Herr Eschscholtz.
The latter may have been . good citi-
zen, and his name may sound euphoni-
GUS to his nation; but to the Angle
Saxon the word is . mouthful.
Californians should be thankful.

DISEASE SPREAD By DOGS.

Some Startling Statistics from the French
Republic Regarding Consumption
Consumption now carries off five per
thousand persons in France, or one
hundred and seventy thousand year,
says the London Dispatch. In Eng
land the mortality has fallen to two
per thousand. The towns where this
scourge is most intense are Paris, where
the mortality from it is one out of five
deaths; Dijon and Nancy, where it is
one out of seven, and Marseilles, where
it is one out of six. At the Protestant
congress at Havre, held to study spe-
cial questions in practical manner,
DIR. Gilbert, who is q consumptive spe-
cialist, said that drunkards are partic-
ularly subject to it. There is drunk
ards phthisis. Now, the habitations
of inebriates. are dirty and ill-kept,
and cleanliness is q great obstacle to
the spread of contagious diseases. In
La Cite Havraise, or mansions built for
working-class tenants, the mortality
from consumption is very high, not
withstanding the hygienic principles
according to which the architect
worked. There were five out of twelve
deaths from consumption. This might
be explained from the tenants habit
of splitting about. A woman's dress
that swept the spuma of q consumptive
on the stairs picked up the germs,
which she inhaled when brushing the
garment. DIR. Gilbert is, for this rea-
son, against tenement houses Or man
sions for the poor. The shaking of
clothes and bedding from the windows
and balconies was another source of
contagion. The subject of dogs as a
means of propagating consumption
was also gone into. A report of Prof.
Cadiot, of the veterinary school of
Alfort, shows that they must often be
a vehicle for spreading it. He had
long treated dogs suffering from tuber-
culosis for cancer, but latterly the mi
croscope showed him what their dis
ease was. Between the 14th of last
March and the 7th of April eight dogs
died at Alfort of tuberculosis. From
the 1st of October, 1891, to the 1st Of
August, 1903, he made forty post NOR
TENS out of nine thousand, and found
in all the forty cases tuberculosis to be
the cause of death. The disease is
very catching from dog. 1t origin
atos in the intestinal mucus, because
dogs eat bones picked by tubercular
patients and lick up what they leave
on plates. They also keep about them
if attached to them and in this way
some get affected through the lungs.
If the dog is often contaminated by
the human patient he in turn spreads
the disease to other human beings.

DEPOPULATEO eY OPIUM. w-
At the Present Rate That Will Soon BE
the Condition of Those French Islands.
w. Hoffner, for two years manager
of the Societe COmmerciale, which
owns large stores on the Marquesas and
Dominique islands, lately arrived here,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
Every two or three months Mr.. Hoff-
ner was in the habit of cruising in a
boat around these islands, making nu-
merous landings. This has made him
exceedingly familiar with the islands
and their inhabitants. He says that
the natives are dying off very rapidly
by reason Of the use of opium and that
in q short time there will be none left.
The past year has made fearful inroads
on them.
'The deaths have been SO frequent"
said Mr.. Hoffner, ''that lately the
French government has been doing
all it could to suppress the opium
habit, but with meagre success. 1t
hinders it in some ways, but in the
main it is carried on as before. The
French government introduced opium
into the islands about twenty years
ago, and now vain effort is being
made to stamp out the evil. 1t is,
however, too late to remedy the
wrong.
1.-THE natives are dying off like flies.
In ten years, if the present rate of
mortality keeps up. there will not be
one of them left. The last few years
have been especially severe and made
terrible inroads on the population.
Where the natives cannot get opium
to satisfy their cravings, they substi-
tute brandy obtained from the CO.
cocoanut tree, which is even worse than
the product of the poppy juice. The
liquor is nothing, in fact, but the nat
ural sap of the cocoanut tree. The is.
landers bore holes in the tree, and the
sap almost Immediately begins to run.
This process kills the tree, but they do
not care for that. The liquor is
stronger than opium, and have seen
the poor native drunk on it and lying
about like dead men for three or fOnr
days.
''They do not smoke the opium, but
eat it, and in enormous quantities.
They eat so much of it and have such
abnormal cravings for it to the exclu-
sion of almost every other desire, that
they do not buy the amount of general
merchandise they ordinarily would. AS
a result, business is bad in the islands.
Trade, outside of opium, has fallen off
a great deal, and the people seem to
have lost the energy and desire to ad-
vance that they once had. 1t is SO
quiet there now that think shall
return to Chilli, where was before.
When the native population is wiped
out altogether, as now seems to be its
fate, the islands will be an excellent
field for emigration. am not sure that
at present the French government
would encourage immigration.
Mr.. Hoffner says there are now very
few Americans on the islands.

machine for compression as q test OF

the strongest man was able to produce

arrived at as result of the expert
ment was this: The short men were
all very nearly IS strong as the tall
ones, the average difference between

PUSHING TRADE IN AMERICA.
Many Tricks ResOrted to by European
Dealers In Wines and Liquors.

Many Tricks ResOrted to by European
Dealers In Wines and Liquors.
There is a trick in the champagne,
and in fact in all wine and liquor
trades, known as pushing" A French
house whic h casts envious eyes on the
American market has to ''push" its
wine to get it sold here. The agents
resort to all manner. of expedients to
sell their wine. They give prizes to
head bartenders, stewards, etc. They
create fictitious demand by asking
for certain brand in hotels and res
taurants where that particular brand
is not in stock. They employ their
men to ''make the rounds" and do the
same thing. When they are with q
crowd they order their own brand, pay
for it and make the rest of the patty
drink it. Then, Of course, the next
man who orders calls for the same
wine. This pushing" Of wines makes
it impossible to judge of the American
taste for any one particular cham
pagne. One brand may be pushed"
into demand one year and allowed to
fall from grace in the next. The idea,
according to the New York Tribune.
is to spend great deal of money one
year in getting wine before the pub
lie and then to make large profit on
succeeding years. 1t is living on ones
reputation. So that il the sale of
few brands increases from year to year
that is not fair estimate from which
to draw conclusions, and the same
holds true if the sale of few brands
decreases. But when we take twenty
three American agents and compare
their sales for two years we get good
idea of the whole trade in this country.
Outside of those twenty-three houses
all other agents in this country
brought here in 1892 only 9.866 cases.
Last year .'all other agents" imported
9,c27. The imports for 1892 of twenty
three agents and all others were $780,
e22 cases, but last year they fell of to
278,5 $50. This is a decrease Of 72,102
cases, representing wine which would
cost the consumer over s., 100000. But
a consumption of 378,520 cases, most
people will say who have not the finan-
cial taste for champagne, is very
great deal

PRESSEDIT TOO HARD.
Arrest of Detective Harris for
Blackmailing.
With the Ex-Poiice Captain Is Caught
Jeweler Platt of Los Angeles
NotOriety.

Los ANGELES. March 26.-A sensation
has been caused here by the arrest to-
night of C. B. Platt, prominent jeweler,
who is now at the head of local detective
bureau known as the California State
Detective Agency, upon charges of extOr-
tion. The allegations Of blachmaiI are
made by Z. E. Crandall, capitalist for
meriy engaged here in general merchan-
dising. Harris and platt were arrested
by police detectives Immediately after
Harris had secured from Crandall check
for 500.
The investigation of the charges in the
courts bids fair to be sensational in the
extreme, as others than Crandall and The
culprits are Involved. As the story is told
by Crandall and the police. the attempted
blackmail dates back several mon hs to
the time when Crandalps wife. from whom
he is separated. began an action against
him for divorce. Detective Harris, it is
alleged. used Jeweler Platt as the me.
dium through which lie confronted Gran
dali with evidence that would be decidedly
in Mrs. CIandalPs favor if brought Ior-
ward in the trial for divorce. 1t is now
SAID that Harris claimed to hold letters
and even photographs, which, if produced,
would have EN- barrassed n OF only Crandall,
hut women and other men of prominence
here.
Crandall, who was finally pushed too far,
went in desperation to Chief of Police
Glass and exposed the whole trouble. As
the result Crandall met Harris in his Office
tonight and city detectives were within
hearing when Harris demand for $1,000 for
the return of the Crandall compromising
papers and pictures was made. Crandall
demurred 10 the price and a compromise
was finally reached for 500, Crandall
drawing his check and handing it over to
the d, tective. 1t was agreed that the pa
pers in question should be returned
through an express Company. CrandalI
left the Office, and few minutes later
both Harris and Platt were taken into Gus
tOdy.
At late hour tonight they are still in
the city prison. Harris declares, despite
Crandal's charge, that he was regularly
employed by Crandali and that the 500
check found In his possession was given
him for legitimate services. A high police
official is authority for the statement that
Mrs. Crandall has also been made to give
up money in much the same manner that
her husbandswas sought to be victimiZed.
