Joe Cans Of Baltimore and Jack DAILY
Of this city boxed scientific six-round
wind-up at the Nonpareil Club, Phila
delphia, Saturday evening. An over
crowded house was in attendance, many
OF whom were disappointed at the tame
outcome. DAILY was heavier and at
times forced the fighting. The men
agreed to break clean. Cans did some
clever blocking of Days PUSHES.
Neither man was able to reach his OPP
ponent with any force. Cans landed sew
eral left handed swings on Daly's jaw,
but they did no damage. Daly's left
leads we're usually blocked and clinch
resulted. Although they stroye hard,
neither could catch the other un-
guarded. In the opening Of the fifth
round they disregardel their clean
breakaway agreement, and some SHARP
infighting resulted. Both men rushed
matters in the sixth round, but with
out result.

THE DsINR PROBLEM.
Miss Alderman Believes in the Extermina-
tion oil the saloon.


Miss Jessie A. Alderman, the
traveller and temperance worker, adj
dressed two meetings here Sunday,
one in the Grand Opera House in the
afternoon and another In Grace M. E.
Church in the evening. Mrs. Thomas
Darlington, president Of the w. G.
I. u, presided at the afternoon meet
ing. Men were unusually numerous in
the audience. After speaking of sundry
experiences in her travels, Miss Acker-
mann took up the liquor problem in
this country. She said she regarded
the determination of the legalized
saloon as the greatest missionary
problem that will confront the TWEEN
tieth century. She believed the best
plan of procedure is to strike at the
legalized institution, rather than to
waste time trying TO save one degraded
drunkard, when at the same moment
46 more persons are falling victims 10
the dreaded curse. In conclusion she
stated that a movement is under way
to secure $4,000 more members of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
to observe the anniversary of the birth
of Frances Willard. She bespoke O
liberal contribution from the audience
us an Offering for the temperance
cause, and George w. Todd also made
an appeal for financial assistance.
A canvass was made OF the audience
to secure members for the W. g. L. U,

OPIUM SNORING.
Chief Dolan Knows Nothing of tho Re

Chief DoIan Knows Nothing of tho Re-
ported Existence of Den In This city.
Referring to an article printed in
the Star Sunday to the effect that
a reporter of that paper had been in
formed that an opium den was openly
conducted in this city, Chief Of Police
Dolan said Sunday that IL such was
the case he was not in possession of
the facts
"On several occasions" he said,
the officers have suspected that opium
smokers were frequenting two dwelling
places of Cinnamon In the city and
both of those places we're carefully
watched, with the hope of ascertaining
il such was the case. Nothing definite
could be learned from the outside and
the places were raided at different
times, but We found absolutely nothing
for which anybody could be prose-
euted. We learned at the time of one
of the raids that two women had been
seen going into the place, but upon
investigation found that they were
friends Of the proprietor of the laundry
for 1t was a laundry--and that they
belonged in Philadelphia and came
here to visit the Chinaman. but we
did not learn that they came here fol
the purpose Of smoking opium or thai
| they did indulge in that habit while
here. The raid did not result in the
discovery Of anything upon which We
could prosecute either the women OIL
the Chinaman; therefore, it was fruit
| less.
$50 far as I have been informed
no complaints have been lodged will
this department about any Wilmington
people visiting any of the Cinnamon
places for the purpose Of smoking
| opium, neither have there been an.
complaints recently about disorder il
any of the laupdries, dwelling place
or stores of the Cinnamon, aud W
have no knowledge of anything of thi
character upon which we could bias
prosecutions.
However, We will make rigid in
vestigation, and il We find anythin
wrong or any violation Of law We wi
sec to it that the violators are brough
before the court. | have knowledge G
one person who purchases opium fror
Cinnamon and uses it at home.
also have reason to believe that man
of the Cinnamon in the city use opiur
themselves. but do not know of an
of our people who have a habit Of visiI
ing the abodes of Cinnamon for th
pui pose of smoking opium. "

BRITISH MILITARY PREPARATIONS.

Gen. Butler Will Have Command OF twice
as Hlany Soldiers as the Duke Of yelling
ton, the Conqueror Of the FIRST Napoleon,
Ever Saw on One Battlefield.
London Eng, Oct. 9.--The rastness
of Great Britain's military preparations
seemingly out OF all proportion to the
work in hand in South Africa-was not
fully realized by the public until the
War Office announced that 20, 600 re-
serves had already been summoned to
reioin the colors.
As a matter Of fact, Gen. Sir Redvers
Butler will have command Of twice as
many British soldiers as the Duke Of
Wellington, the conqueror OF the first
Napoleon, ever saw collected on one
battlefield. The reasons back of this
lavish display are probably fear OF a
native rising, and possibly conviction
Of the ACCESSIBILITY of showing Europe
that Great Britain is prepared to resent
any action resulting from the prevalent
continental ill-will.
In this connection, the action of the
| American Department of State and
| the friendly statements OF President
Mckinley and Seer etary OF State Hay,
published here. are heartily welcomed
as happy return for Great Britain
refusal to sanction continental inter.
vention in the war between the United
States and Spain.
As the Beers failed to attack Nata
when the colony was vulnerable, 1T il
beginning to be felt that they arc pur
suing deliberate policy of waiting fol
the British proposals., remaining in thu
meantime on the defensive, in the hop
OF thus winning the sympathies of thu
world, and, perhaps, the support o
other nations, and leaving to Grea
Britain the ignominy of starting hos
Utilities.

A peculiar case has developed in
Milwaukee, Wis, wherein property
owner pays $40 per month rent for SUN
light for his tenant. The latter had
rented room in his building on con.
dition that it be provided with natural
light. This was effected by cutting a
window in the wall overlooking the
property of neighbor. The latter
promptly shut off the light with a
tight wood screen. When demonstrated
with, he took the position that the
light was his, and that as he had a
right to erect building on his lot, he
had right to put ur any kind of n
structure permitted by law. An in
quiry by the attorney for the other
party developed no flaw in the position
taken by the light puryeyor, and his
terms of 800 per month had to be met
His neighbors, he said, could have
nothing belonging to him without pay
ing for it, He was not proud of the
transaction, however, and requested
the newspapers to say nothing about
the incident.

DIR. Evans Darby, tho Secretary of
the Peace Society. writes as follows in
the October number of the Pail Mall
Magazine. The Peace Society was
formed on June 14th, 1916. The time
was favorable for such a movement
and demanded it; and, with re-
markable spontaneity, peace agencies
sprang into existence on both sides OF
the Atlantic. Christendom mad just
come out of the throes of series of
wars, and Europe, especially. out of
the long Napoeonio conflict, which the
late Lord John Russell described as
"the most bloody hostillties that ever
mangle the face of Europe But the
task before it was apparently hopeless;
for it had to encounter passions and
instincts which were deeply rooted in
human nature, and habits OF thought
and action, which, through long ages,
had become firmly established. Neither
its founders nor their successors pos
sessed, as rule, social position or
political power and prestige; and the
means at their disposal have been
ridiculously inadequate. So far from
riyaling, in any degree, those pos
sessed by the great war organizations,
it is safe to say that the total of the
combined incomes OF all the peace
societies "has not equalled the cost OF
single ordinary ship of war amongst
the great navies of the world. +"
