The Japanese DO Not Use Opium.

/! The Japanese, unlike their Chinese
neighbors, have a horror of opium
smoking In Japan it is a crime, pun
ishab1e by heavy fine and a long i'm
prisonment. 1t is;a crime to sell opium
or smoking apparatus, and the only
places where the drug can be purchased
or where person, may'smoke are on the
foreign reservations under the protection
OF foreign flag. The opium dens in
Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki and other
cities are all found in the German,
Frenchland English concessions, where
the Japanese have no jurisdiction.
When the JapaneseAtook possession Of
Formcsa, which was ,ceded by China to
Japan as apart of the price of peace,
they found a serious problem in the
prevalence of OPIUM smoking among the
natives and Chinese residents, who are
numerous.
After thettrial of various methods the
government. has finally adopted rather
novel policy to repress and regulate
the vice. Itfrequires every opium smo-
ker to purchase license from the gov
eminent by 1.-THE payment Of fee and
permits indulgence i'll the vice within
certain limits\ of the city, which will
result III the colonization of opium
smokers. Physicians and druggists
alone are permitted to buy and sell the
drug, and they are required to take out
licenses tand pay heavy fees FOR the priv

WISDOM OF A CAT.
Left to Die, 1t Takes the First Train Flo
Home.


Home.
Trainman William j. Halpin of the
Delaware and Hudson, who lives i'll
Saratoga, had occasion to desire the
removal of large maltese cat because
it had angered the family by climbing
tree and devouring nest of young
robins
On a recent morning Mr.. Halpin put
the cat in large sack and boarded his
train for Albany. When the train
reached the Oohoes bridge many advised
the owner of the cat to drop the bag into
the Hudson river, but Mr.. Halpin de-
clared that as the animal was not en-
tirely devoid of good traits it was his
wish to give it chance for life.
Arriving at Albany at 8:25 a. M,
Mr.. Halpin proceeded to Water street,
and, shaking the imprisoned cat from
the sack, rushed back to the depot. The
train returned to Saratoga at 1880 a.
m. Persons about the depot yard assert
ed that they distinctly heard the new
ing of a cat A long search was made,
and it resulted in the disclosure of a
maltese comfortably perched upon the
forward trucks of the baggage car
When Mr.. HaIpin's attention was
called to the cat he identified it and was
dumfounded, as he supposed it to be in
the Capital City. The cat beat Mr. Hal
pin back, too, for it was farther forward
on the train than himself. The cat will
probably remain III the Halpin family

Stevens and MAYNARD.

Thaddeus Stevens was once opposed in
debate by Horace Maynard of Tennessee.
Maynard was very tall and straight and
had long black hair which he wore we'll
down over his coat collar, and which
gave him somewhat the appearance Of
an Indian. 1t was even rumored that he
had some aboriginal blood in his veins.
Maynard prided himself on his scholar
ly attainments, and at the close of his
address he quoted one or two Latin
verses. Old Thad replied to Maynard's
argument in his usual vigorous manner
and then paused for few seconds until
he had secured the attention of the en-
tire house. Tuning to Maynard, who
sat some distance behind him, he de-
livered this parting shot: $50 much for
the gentleman's English. AS to his
Choctaw, do not profess to understand
it. San Francisco Argonaut

New Bleaching Process.

A new process of bleaching has been
brought forward by means of which
there is produced clear white in cotton
without any deterioration in fiber. In a
starching machine the material to be
bleached is treated with a lye to which
bisulphide of soda and an alkaline chic
ride have been added and the goods sub
jected to heavy pressure. They are then
transferred to steaming apparatus, in
which they remain 80 to 60 minutes.
The other operations of bleaching are Of
the ordinary kind. The addition of al
kaline chloride to the I've dissolves the
gummy matter and capsules in the fiber.

TO BE WHITE SLAVES.
LABOR LEADERS DENOUNCE THE
PLAN TO COLONlZE HAWAII.

They Say 1t Is a Plot to Trap American
WOrkmen Into BOndage-Hawaiian Gov
eminent Anxious to Get $4,000 White La
bOrers-Scheme Is Called Cooperative.
State Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
of California issued long statement
recently as an argument to induce 49,
900 American laborers to go to the Ha-
waiian Islands. He has visited the
islands and investigated the condition
of labor there, and this publication con-
tains his views on the question, all of
which are favorable to scheme for en-
ploying American workingmen ON the
island plantations. He says:
There is nothing in the climatic
conditions to prevent white labor from
performing the work and drawing the
So, 900, 900 to 81, 600, 900 that are paid
annually to the Asiatics. There are at
the islands ! 1915 Hawaiians, 2, 268 Por-
tuguese, IL, 1913 Japanese, 6, 289 Chinese
and about 715 of other nationalities
There is one condition under which
American labor should be introduced to
which the planters are agreeable, and
that is the profit sharing basis, giving
certain fields where from 10 to 100 la
borers can cooperate. "
He states that the planters are eager
to get Americans and the government is
DESTROYS of creating department for
the introduction of American labor.
The government and planters are ready
to pay the passage of laborers from the
United States. Mr.. Fitzgerald has seen
about 10000 barefooted laborers, half
of whom work under a penal contract
and are treated as convicts if they leave
their employers. The profit sharing
basis is not definite in assuring a GER
tain rate of wages, but the report says:
'This includes home with land
enough for garden purposes, free fuel,
water and in many cases pasturage for
COW, with free schools, etc. "
San Francisco labor leaders have
raised a cry against the movement to
send American laborcrs to Hawaii and
claim that it is part of plot to save
the government and white settlers of
the islands from japanese competition.
Secretary Furuseth of the Sailors union
and Editor Macarthur of The Coast
Seamen's Journal stated recently that
the carrying out of the project would
send white men into slavery.
under the profit sharing system, -
said Macarthur, the laborer has to sign
a contract with his employer which viz
tually makes slave of him. The agree
ment is all i'll favor of the employer. 1t
won't permit the laborer to leave
Strikes would be out of the question.
The workmen would be liable to a
heavy penalty
He produced blank agreement of the
Eva Plantation company as proof of
his assertions. Among other things this
allows the laborer to use water only at
such hours as the employer directs. and
the laborer must pay out of his share of
the profits for extra help if required on
the plantation, but he cannot transfer
Or assign his interest in the concern. -

''The island of New Caledonia, where
l have lived for the past ten years, is a
French penal colony" said Mr.. G. G.
Freeman, an English gentleman, now
visiting America. 81 went there for
my health, expecting to stay only a

New Caledonia is 1900 miles east

tropics it has delightful climate for ten
months in the year During January
and February the weather is so excess
sively hot that one cannot live in COM
fort. The island is 40 miles wide by 400

There are between 5000 and 5000
convicts on the island, and perhaps an
equal number of ticket of leave men,
that is, men who have served out their
terms of imprisonment, but who are
forbidden to leave and have to report
to the authorities twice year. They
are miserable, spiritless lot, these
ticket of leave fellows, who work just
enough to keep from starving and whose
highest ambition is to get money enough
for debauch. The convicts are treated
very humanely by the French officials,

the same care and consideration shown.

the happiness of others before her own.
She was tenderly loved and revered by
her two daughters. and by her devoted
son. the late Edward c. Allen. whose

years, she found great joy and hapi-

From her youth, Mrs. Allen had been
a member of the Congregational
