have flooded the country, have been wide

that has been in business for some time,
and were sent out under government SUI
pervision. We gave them up under pro-
test. taking the inspectors receipt for the

Colonel Brady. Collector of Internal
Revenue said that the. system was so
perfect that all the bogus stamps would
be detected. even though the wholesale
men had passed them on 10 the retailers.
Colonel Brady declined to give the
names Of the Richmond firms whose
goods have been contiscated' saying that
they were innocent victims.
II is understood that in some instances
cigars with the bogus stamps affixed are
sold as low as 81 per thousand-a price
that would be ridiculous had the tax been
paid.

The ship Oriental is from Bristol Bay
and she had a narrow escape from the
raft. Had it not been for the American
flag flying from the end of it Captain
Parker is of the opinion that he would
have collided with it and perhaps sunk
his ship. There was nobody aboard the
raft and it was in good condition. The
Oriental was put about as soon as the
derelict was seen and just shaved the
mass Of lumber as she answered her
helm.
The steamer President, alse from Bristol
Bay, picked the Oriental up off the light
ship and towed her in. Both vessels came
in with their flags at half-mast, as Cap
tain Schroeder of the three-maSted Schoon-
er Prosper died aboard the President at
$40 q. m. on September l. The captain
was taken sick at Nushagak, and turning
his vessel over to the mate to bring down
took passage on the President. The Ort-
entail, President and Prosper are all of
the Alaska Packers fleet, SO Dr. Ropln-
son, one of the associations surgeons,
came down on the President to look after
Captain Schroeder. Early on the morning
of September l he was taken with a
stroke of apopleXy and in spite of all the
doctors care he died in a couple of hours.
The body was brought to San Francisco.
Captain Schroeder was well known in San
Francisco and commanded vessels on the
coast for years.

Some of the volunteer soldiers who came
home on the transport Sheridan are anx-
iously looking for a discharged soldier
named John Reynolds. About a half dozen
watches and some jewelry were missed
during the voyage from Manila, and Rey-
nolds was suspected He was placed un-
der arrest, and yesterday Sergeant Tom,
Mahoney of the harbor police was asked
to take him in charge. Mahoney said that
as the robbery occurred on the high seas
it was case for the United States Mar
shal. The latter could not be found, as
it was holiday, so Mahoney, was again
sent for and he agreed to hold the pris-
oner until Monday. However, when the
officers of the ship went to get Reynolds
he was missing, and diligent search
failed to reveal any trace Of him.

the Courthouse of her city with highly repre-
twenty-four hours notice, the result being the
immediate formation of a lodge.
Now you will not be disappointed that but
few particulars of this work appear in the
New Century, for you fully understand how
carefully have to guard names and localities,
IN order to protect the work from the at
tacks of its enemies
One very beautiful instance of a calm, un-
swerving trust especially touched me. In
most promising Western city, although only six
had left the work, It was represented by GER
among those who had remained faithful 1 dis
covered of the most beautiful souls in our
movement-a saint-like old lady over eighty
years of age, one of the old pioneers who had
for the past fifteen years sustained the work,
helping with all her means the publication of
In the absence of sufficient light when troubles
came, she simply said II trust absolutely in
am sure that shall not be overlooked" Thus
1t became my happy privilege to meet this
beautiful soul and give her the help she needed.
Since then l have met three people who are
going to that city and will join her and her
comrades in forming strong lodge. When 1
sent Mr.. Hanson ahead to engage hall in
that city nothing known OF her. but the
man with whom he negotiated interviewed him
she lived Thus the work is guided and cared
for all the time.
Swift and terrible, the other hand. is the
action of the law on those who have deserted
and turned against the work. One of them fell
dead in the street at Flushing-the place where
so many vie plots were natched-and close 10
the house where the child of another traitor
was burned alive onlv a partition separating
1t from the arch traitor, then seated in his
private office. Not far off, at Staten Island
the son of yet another arrested on sus.
pcion of shooting boy. These things are no
idle chances, but terribly significant of the
sacredness and responsibility attaching to the
duties we have undertaken. No more awful
'dweller on the threshold exists than that of
the renegade Theosophist and 1t is time that
this is realized.
But the other side of the picture is propor-
tionately bright and beautiful The ever
growing unity and trust must be a constant
inspiration and encouragement to all my true
hearted comrades--our success-our success

Wholesalers League Complains Of
Action of Non-Subscribers.

The Manufacturers and Wholesalers
League is pleased over the success of the
first expedition of merchants and buy
ers from the country. Inducements were
made to the Pacific Coast buyers to come
to this city to make their purchases of
goods, instead of sending to the East, and
the first lot consisted of about sixty visit
ors. These arrived on Monday on the
Ogden special. and yesterday the whole
lot were registered at the headquarters
in the city Board of Trade rooms at 202
Market street; The gratifying -eature Is
that the wholesalers have been able to
reach so far to the East as Montana,
Colorado and Utah, and north to Wash
ington and Idaho. From all accounts
the visitors are making liberal purchases
here, and their verdict is that they can
make as good bargains In San Francisco
as elsewhere. Besides this they have the
pleasure of a vacation, railroad fares at
half-rates for themselves and families,
reduced charges for board while here and
amusement in the theaters at half-price.
Since they have been here the officers
Of the league have been annoyed at at
tempts made by non-members trying TO
secure the trade of the visitors, thus de-
priying those who are standing the ex-
pense of the venture of their legitimate
business. Scores Of letters to the people
