elect Dyer and his associates and the State

OPIUM SMOKING.
The Farapherralia Necessary to Enjoy the
NoxioGs Drug.

The Parapherralia Necessary to Enjoy the
NoxiOGs Drug.
The method Of smoking opium Is not
known to the average citizen, and when he
detects q peculiar smell about Chinese
laundries he does not suspect that 1t comes
from the opium pipe smoked probably In
tho next room. There are plenty of people
who think that tho long stemmcd pipes
smoked by the laundrymen i'm front OF
their shops are filled with opium, and that
IL is the sum and substance of the process
They know nothing Of lamps, yen hoks,
and like paraphernalia necessary to en;o
the noxious drug. The small pipes smoked
by the Cinnamon contain Chinese tobacco,
stronger than the American product, but
substantially the same.
The Layout" for tho smoking of opium
consists first of large stem, made Of
bamboo. This stem Is between "a and
inches in circumference. Almost midway
of the stem s"ts large clay bowl with only
q small hole such as would be made by a
large darnirg needle, upon the top. Then
there is Il small lamp, which burns peanut
or olive oil; then the yen hok, about the
ehapo Of a darning needle, to cook the
opium WITH and other like instruments
IOr CltdDilig Uuc plpc, anu idsb INC opium
itself in "a small jar or toi.
All these articles may DO found on sale
In at least one Chinese store in this city
They are received from a large importing
house In Philadelphia, which supplies the
whole south with these articles.
The opium looks very much like the
crude licorice which Is used for sweetening
chewing tobacco. 1t comes To the mer.
chants in large cans, weighing from one tC
ten pounds, and in tho different qualities
costs from $40 to $50 pound. 1t is re-.
tailed over the counters out Of shaving
mug, covered with paper, to keep IL clean,
and ladled ont with miniature butter
paddle. When Chinaman desires to pur.
chase opium, he brings in toi and desig.
mates in weight or money the amount he
desires. The merchant then carefully
weighs the toi in pair of scales made
from small bamboo rod, balanced by a
string tied in the middle. The toi Is held
upon "a small piece Of copper, tied upon one
end Tho exact weight of this is ascertained
by movinga small copper weight along the
beam. Then 1t is placed SO much farther
down, according to marks cut upon the
bamboo, and the opium is gathered up in
IS lump upon the paddle and skillfully
dropped into the tot. 1t Is balanced to the
fraction of grain, and an expert In this
line Of business can judge almost exactly
the weight desired each time. Washington

LECTION DAY.

As Lection Day occurs tomorrow and
the plan Is to have as good time as the
Stass can afford, pending the probability
that this fetc in its present character may
no: much longer exist, 1t is meet that
every citizen OF Newport, to say nothing
cf those who are able to attend from other
cities, should make up his mind to impart
20 the occasion as much OF splendor and
dignity as is consistent with the money
and leisure available. Newport herself has
an interest in this annual function. both

la gets very little else to vindcate her TO-
sition as one of the legislative centres OF
Rhode Island. Most OF her glory is OF this
one celebration, and she ought to make the
most of II.
Bot as TO lavish expenditure OF money
by the State In the Inauguration OF new
administration, the foes OF Lection Day
have some strong argument on their side.

wealth at the present writing. She has

SHOULD IRELAND REJOICE? /?

Why Ireland should join in next months
jubilee and rejoice in the sixty years reign
OF Queen Victoria is question entitled to
consideration. There are those who be-
lleve that when the sorrow, poverty and
depreciation that the once fair land is
struggling under lShs been deducted, not
enough remains to fittingly provide mate
rial for n jubilee. At the beginning of the
reign which is so soon to be celebrated
the year 1S37-Great Britain had popula-
ton of 100000. 1t has now 80, 100000.
In 1887 the Irish population was 100000.
In 1897 it is but 4,5Oo,OoO. The wealth of
Great Britain has increased to an,extraor-
binary extent; the wealth of Ireland has
decreased in sad proportion. To the people
of the prosperous country,,tax have been
cut down by half; to the people cut down
by half, the taxes have been doubled.
The Fall River Catholic Advocate reviews
this subject and presents the following
pertinent statements:
To the cost of the royal family, Ireland
contributes $4,000 year, and during the
sixty years of the present reign has paid
E4,J00,OO0; yet in that time the queen has
spent only sixteen days in Ireland, so that
every day passed by the sovereign in that
country has cost Ireland a quarter of mil
lion.
very tidy amount this-S22, $50, ,000-for the
impoverished Irish people to pay for the lux
ury and happiness of being ruled by lady
who, during the whole sixty years OF her
reign, has spent just sixteen days among
them. OF course, the Irish don't complain
of this fact. They are and have been su-
premely indifferent as to the visits of British
royalty, but when they are asked To enthuse
over the sixty years, they may very well
refer, among other things, To the manifest
dislike of the royal lady and her family for
Ireland and the Irish.
Is this a state of affairs calling forsscon-
graduation? Shall Ireland rejoice to assist
in setting forth the 'glories of the Victo-
rian age?"

Maj. Gen. Zenos r. Bliss after a single
day in his new command, has retired from
the service OF the United States army. AS
he leaves with high rank and well-earned
record, he has personally but little to lose
by thus giving up his connection with the
military, but Rhode Islaud will be sorry to
learn that he has abandoned his post, after
all. A brave officer, an eminent citizen of
the nation and true patriot is Gen. Bliss,
and his career has been credit to Rhode
Island. The government needs many
such servants to place it in the front
ranks of military importance.

He Went to Church.

Mrs. Beasely will never again ask her
brother to go to church with her. This
brother Is q bachelor who lives at hotel,
and he does not get to church more than
once or twice in u lifetime.
Two weeks ago, however, his sister in.
weighed him to her home ON the south side
and then induced him to 60 to church In
tho evening. He consented with show of
willingness, but as matter of fact he had
intended to 10 to n theater down town. He
went into the church with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bcasely, and they took him to their pew,
which was well up toward the front. There
was an opening anthem and some prayer,
and then the soloist stood up in tho choir
loft. She Is n soprano who has been told
that she fought to go into opera" Mrs.
Beascly's brother IL fond Of music, and the
church soprano entranced him. He had
not expected TO hear such voice In a
church. His recollection of church music
was that IL consisted principally of congre-
gational singing in very ragged time.
He leaned back and listened to the
young soprano, and was so interested and
delighted that he forgot where he was. He
certainly must have forgotten, for when
she got through singing he began to ap.
Enthusiastically began to clap his hands
through force Of habit.
His sister caught him by the arms TO re-
strain him, and he saw surprised faces
glaring at him from the front. Then he
