For ten days the revenue officers had been
watching tho place their attention having first
been called to it by the strong smell OF opium
in the street The raid was made Just before
O'Clock. Revenue Agent i. G.. Thompson and
four deputies-Fellows. Long. Taylor and
O'Neil-met in a Bowery hotel at Canal street
and then went down to Pe street. They en-
tered the house and marched into the room
from which the strong odor came. Six China
men were lying about on hunks smoking
opium. They jumped UP as the officers up
peared but they made no resistance.
All Chinatown soon heard OF the raid and
narrow Pe street was packed with Chinese
and whites. White women. some of them
young and pretty gazed from tho windows Of
the Chinese tenements The officers guarded
the doors and searched the room where the
opium was prepared and where the Cinnamon
lived. The big kettlcful of poppy seeds was
on the stove. All about the room were Jars.
tin boxes and carthenware boxes containing
opium. The tin boxes bore Government
stamps and had been used before to ship opium
to this country. The odor OF opium was so
strong that the revenue men could not stay
long III the room without having to go outside
to get fresh air.

heard one uf the Cinnamon say:
We IL get lots OF time to rest: we'll get four
years
When this officer asked the Cinnamon what
the stun IN the kettle was they sad they didn't
know. While the officers were one after an
other going out to get fresh air one OF the
Cinnamon escaped by the back door. The
other men were locked up in the Elizabeth
street station.
revenue Agent Thompson said that the value
OF the opium taken was about $4,000. and.
under the law. he would get oue-tenth OF the
net proceeds OF the sale of the stun about
$500. 1t was the first time in years. he said.
that such raid had been made. Under the
law only American citizens NAV prepare

NEW BROOKLTN DIRECTORY.
Although Less in Bulk 1t Has 1888 More

The Brooklyn directory, while shrinking in

corded and the amount OF interesting informa-
ton 1t provides The directory Of 1899 has
Just been issued by Lain & Healy. the pub

1883 over the directory Of 1898. While
scarcely two months have elapsed since NOV
ing, day the moyings are all in and the new
addresses recorded.
The reduction in size has been ACCOMPLISHED
by leaving ont some 200 pages OF advertising
that IN previous years has more or less cum
he!ed the directory. The advertisements were
run in in former directories between pages or
in the middle Of pages and they increased tho
work OF digging out the information that peo-
pie VINO consult directories want to get The
l"av ng out of this advertisin ny makes the book
