Why should the government issue
licenses and furnish opium to GER
tain Chinese opium smokers7 An
able bodied youngish Chinsman ap-
peared in the District Court this
morning, charged with having
opium in possession. He produced
a certificate, permitting him to
smoke opium and signed by DR..
Howard. The Judge allowed him
to 60, but at the same time his
Honor commented in emphatical
terms on the inconsistency of a gov
eminent, which makes the use OF
opium a crime and, at the same
time, issues permits to certain indi-
viduals, to use the poisonous drug.
We do not desire to make any i'm
proper insinIatiens, but when we
remember recent statements made
at the Board of Health meetings in
regard to the heavy amount Of
opium used by the doctor in charge
of the dispensary, and when able
bodied Chinese can obtain certi6-
Gates, allowing them to smoke
opium, we feel sure that we can spot
a nasty niger in the woodpile, and
fail to see why discrimination in
violating tho laws of the land should
be made for the benefit OF a few
Cinnamon and why, for example,
poor Bob Scrimgeour shouldn't be
granted license to get drunk and
produce it in his defense whenever
he attends the morning services Of
the District Magistrate.

THE JAPANESE BEETLE.
How to Disastrously Inoculats It..


Professor Koebele gives to the
Bureau of Agriculture the following
suggestions for the incubation of
the japanese beetles, aderatus NM
broSuS.
Search under the bushes upon
which the insects feed and you will
find some dead beetles; use a magni-
flying glass, and these beetles that
show a white line on each of the
abdominal plates are the infected
beetles; carefully save these and
take to the Office. Procure a guam
tity Of the live beetles and a camel
hair brush; take the brush and rub
the point over the abdominal plates
Of the infected beetles; now take
the live beetles one by one and,
opening the wing covers, pass the
point of the brush under the wing
covers onto the back OF the beetle;
place each live beetle after inocula-
ton into large glass jar. You can
put from one to two hundred Of the
beetles into one jar; place in the jar
some vegetation that the beetles
feed on. 1t is very important that
the beetles do not die of starvation.
In five or six days the beetles will
begin to die from the effects of the
incubation, and in few days more
the fungus growth will bs plainly
seen. During the period of inoeula-
ton the contents of the jar should
be kept slightly damp. When about
a pint of the infected beetles have
been obtained they can be put into
q box about Is inches square and 6
or 8 inches deep. An inch of damp
soil should be placed over the bot
tom and the infected beetles strewn
over the soil. Place food in the box
and as many live beetles as can be
procured. Every three days one-hali
can be taken out and like quantity
put in the box. The beetles taken
out can be strewn on loose soil
underneath such places as the beetle
feeds on, or can be used to start
other boxes.

Alleged Profanity.

Two police officers arrested the
electrician OF the steamer Australia
last night on a charge of profanity.
The electrician who apparently has
been used very roughly claims that
he was assaulted and robbed by the
officers. The prosecution asked for
a continuance of the case, owing to
the illness OF one OF the officers.

London's Municipal Debt.

From return issued 10y Com
mittee of the London County Coun-
Gil it appears that London's NUM-
cipal debt ID now over 3Ss millions
Sterling made up as follows: Lon
don County Council, fl9,lO5,942;
School Board for London, f9,27l,-
131; Metropolitan Police (propor-
tion), 929s,337; vestries, City Com
missioners OF Sewers, and district
board of works, f4,469, 479; boards
of guardians, f2,699,597: other local
authorities, f92l, 518; total, f3S,684,-
229. The rateable value Of London
on March 81 last was f35, 824, 100,
hence the total debt is equal to or
rather more than one years pur-
chase of London's rateable value.
The above total is exclusive OF the
debt of the Corporation OF the City
of London, which is secured upon
special funds, and not upon the
rates of the City.
Roughly speaking this would
amount to about 1893 head on the
population while Hawaii's debt is
already about $40 head of its popu-
ton.

Women as Telegraph Operators

There is always greater supply or
women telegraphers than the demand
would warrant. but there Is rarely
time that a thoroughly good operator.
one who is bright and quick. reliable.
capable OF reading bad writing and
letter perfect in spelling. need be out of
work, and this is true regardless of sex.
The possession OF a big fund of all
around information is one of the great
est possible aids to an operator in
search of work, for general knowledge
of affairs often enables an operator
without delay to send a message that
would be otherwise unlntelligible. Ex-
pert women telegraphers earn from $50
to $75 a month in New York and they
often earn considerable additions to
their income by employment other than
manipulating the key. One of the big
companies has 500 operators at head
quarters, one-third OF whom are wom-
en-. Two or three of these write regu-
larly for the newspapers. Others sing
in church choirs. Some give music les
sons. A year or two ago still another
taught a class of children to dance. In
some respects the women are more serv-
lceable than the men. For one thing,
they are not likely TO lose time because
OF drunkenness, but OF course they cam
not endure such long stretches OF work

In Cooperstown. N. Y, where stood OF

more Cooper will be turned into park
and Will be known as the Cooper
grounds. The grounds will remain the
private property of thc' Edward and
Alfred Corning Clark estate, but will
be open to the public.
At the death of the novelist Cooper
the Cooper manor house. Otsego Hall,
passed into the hands OF one OF the
largest landowners OF the state, and
after the building was burned in 1853
the grounds were allowed TO go 10 de-
cay. No pains were taken TO preserve
the old stone wall. and cows and horses
wandered at will over the very spot
where Cooper penned his thrilling tales
OF pioneer life. The villagers made no
attempt to cause the preservation Of
the grounds. Perhaps this was be-
cause OF Cooper's unpopularity He was
'of a highly aristocratic temperament.
and he made many enemies and few
friends among the citizens OF the viii
lage. His life was one OF seclusion, and
his property was guarded closely. The
nearest neighbors were hardly allowed
10 walk across the grounds without the
permission of the owner. AZ the old
generation passed away and with IL the
unpleasant personal recollections there
was n public demand that the spot
where Cooper lived should be preserved.
The owners of the property, who have
OF recent years done much for Coopers-
town, turned a ready ear TO this de-
mand and decided TO turn the grounds
into n private park
Work has already been commenced

Captain William II. Lord, captain of
the big British steamship Croma, which
recently arrived in the port of New Or
leans is one of the very few shipmas
ters who can claim to have won dis
tinction as authors, poets and artists
Captain Lord has roamed the high
seas since he was 13 years of age, and
as q sailors life is full of adventures, OF
changing scenes and startling incl
dents. such has been the experience OF
the master of the Croma.
Captain Lord comes from race OF
navigators, his father and grandfather
having been masters of ships. He was
born on April "a, 1S49, at Cheapstowe,
on the Wye, a branch OF the river Sew
ern. in Worcestershire, England.
He was recently seen by a reporter
and chatted over the interesting scenes
and adventures of his travels. how he
came to write his first book. to paint
his first picture and to compose his
FIRST poem, and after this interesting
Interview the captain rose from the ia
bic and invited the reporter 10 follow
him into his stateroom, remarking as
ne carefully closed the door:
This is my holy OF HOLES. This is
my den. Here is where / write and
paint"
The place is remarkably cozy, with
big easy chairs. the desk covered with
writing material and books, the walls
hung with numerous paintings, por-
traits, character studies and interest
ing sketches. the corners filled with
quaint old bric-a-brac and relics gath
cred from the shores OF every cline.
"Yes, | am fond of music, fonder now
perhaps than | used to be before my
trips to the Mediterranean during the
opera seasons. 1t was there | culti-
waited the taste for the old classic airs.

not pretend TO be "A musician. / like to
drag the old organ on board on moon
light nights and strike up a chord, just

How about the heavy classic music,
captain?" was asked.
IT'S too much for me. I may get
educated up TO it after awhile, but as
Il is find II like the old lady's diction-
ary-too disconnected"
The captains latest literary success,
"Reminiscences Of n Sailor" is n clear,
manly and interesting picture OF the
lot OF n British sailor as boy on 10
master. IL is pretentious book OF
over 900 pages and has reached its sec
ond edition The book graphically de-
scribes the life OF n sailor OF the pres
ent day and for the most part deals
with scenes and incidents during the
authors - years at sea.
Among the other works that Captain
Lord has written and published are
''Trossachs OF America" a large part
OF which Wallace Bruce embodied I'm
his new book OF poems. and strange
Adventures Of a Printers Devil"

marble. the Cooper monument having
been erected in the cemetery on the
slope OF Mount Vision. just beyond the
spot made famous by the panther
scene" In the Pioneers"
The shaft is surmounted by Az foot
figure OF the famous Natty. Natty is
represented I'm the act OF loading his
rifle. and his eyes are fixed on the wa
ters OF the Haunted lake, while faith
ful hound at his side watches with
eager eyes. To the ordinary traveller
the shaft suggests more of the memory
OF Leatherstocking than of Cooper. SO
the erection OF fountain or statue on
the Cooper grounds will be fitting me-
mortal TO the novelist, whose fame will
probably remain as long as there are
books and lovers OF pure stories OF ma
ture.
To the village of Cooperstown the
name Cooper will soon be only mem

family bearing the name Is Miss Rich
