ChinA's Curse,


In connection with the clamor for
the "open-door" policy in China, the
observations of a missionary who has
lately come home from that country
are interesting. In an address at Bos-
ton Miss Jessie Ackerman said that all
attempts at missionary work in China
would be fruitless until the opium
business had been suppressed. The
fault" she said. lis directly traceable
to England. The Chinese people do
not want the opium, but 1t is forced
upon them by a civilized country like
England England profits by the con-
sumption OF this drug in China $25, ,00O,-
900 In revenue each year. All the
opium used is the product Of India
The use of opium in China has already
been the cause of two wars there. but
the weaker side, which favored the i'm
portation of the drug, won on account
of the support of England. Two hun
dred million Chinese smoke opium at
the present time, and more than 1,O0O,-
600 die from the effects OF 1t each
year"

GOV. MCCONNELL ON INDIANS.

Hon. W. ]. Mcconnell, United States
Inspector OF Indian schools and reserva-
tions, delivered anje1cellent address upon
the Indians question at the Fifth street
Methodist church, last evening, which
was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by
the large audience present.
Mr.. Mcconnell, is an early pioneer OF
the northwest, was one Of the first U. S.
senators from Idaho and afterwards gov
ernor of the state for two terms. He is a
fluent and eloquent speaker and has
given much study to the Indian ques-
ticn.
After the excellent Introductory re-
marks by Rev. T. e. Sisson, the COVER
nor said that he was there from sense
Of duty. He impressed upon his au-
dience that the government having de-
prived the Indian of his original means
of obtaining living, and was under obi
cations to provide for him the means OF
livelihood in the white mans way.
Education consists Lot only in know
ledge Of books, but in tho practical du-
ties of life and also in the acquirments
of the social accomplishments, 60 that
the Indian could not only make his liv-
ing but would be advanced socially, NOR
ally and Intellectually. He said it was
his duty to Christianize the Christians
and point out their duty toward the
wards OF the government.
After giving many instances OF the
injustice done to the red men, tho Gov
erner urged the churches and societies
to visit the school socially, and the su-
perintendent and teachers, and by their
presence and social intercourse, give the
scholars that refinement of manner OBJ
tanned by contact with cultivated peo-
pie.
The address was we'll received and it
is probable that the churches will take
up the work along the lines suggested.

Good Catch of Bass.

Some particularly aggravating features,
it is said. have come to light since the ar
rest of Gilbert Calhoun, a young man
charged with burglarizing the barber shop
of John w. Wright in the night time. The
barber shop is located at 3254 NJ street cor
ner of Warehouse alley. As result of
the hearing yesterday in the Police Court
Calhoun was held for the action of the
grand jury.
Several attempts had been made to Sc
cure an entrance into the place, judging by
the broken windows, and once inside the
burglars slashed the chairs with knife
necessitating their removal to a repair
shop. The cloths used in hair cutting were
torn into pieces, the soap was found
thrown in all portions of the room, and a
quantity of face wash was spilled The
righteousness of the offense the police can
not account for, as Wright conducts an
orderly shop for colOred people, and Cal
hnun lived at the other end of the town

terday, when Messrs. Samuel Kidwen and
James Gallaher captured a big-mouthed
bass, which tipped the scale at five pounds

weighing traction over pound.

FOX MAKES ITS Esc1rE.
The Zoo Loses One From a Valuable
CO1leetion.

Collection.
One OF the Alaskan4foxes at the Zoolog-
ical Park lie at large, and has so far es-
capped recapture. The officials in charge Of
the Zoo would be glad to know OF tts
whereabouts. The latter part of last week
the officials of the park received consign-
ment Of foxes. They were shipped direct
from an island off the coast Of Alaska,
where the animals are bred for their skins.
When the shipment left the island there was
an even dozen of foxes huddled in large
crate, each having a separate compartment
to keep them from fighting. One of the
brutes died while on its way to this city,
but the other eleven safely reached their
destination,
There was no place at the Zoo for the
accommodation of the foxes. and home
mad to be built for them. They were placed
In room in the stables Of the park, pend
ing the erection Of a suitable home. While
IN the temporary quarters, and occupying
the separate apartments in which they
were shipped, one of the foxes managed In
some manner to bend the bars in front of
MS cage and escaped into the room. A
window, perhaps three feet from the floor.
was open, and the animal vaulted out of
this to his liberty. This occurred some
time tuesday night. A search was made
the next morning after discovering the
loss, but nothing resulted therefrom.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that all the electric street car COM
panies in this city use the same system
and have the same gauge, there is no
longer any necessity for such duplication
of tracks as are on 14th street from New
York avenue to H street, where the Metro
politan and the Traction companies run
side by side, and on New York avenue
from 18th TO 14th streets, where the Trac-
ton and Columbia lines are also parallel.
This duplication of tracks not only I'M
necessarily reduce the space needed by
other vehicles, but it is source of great
danger and annoyance to pedestrians who
fit from one track to another to avoid
passing cars, at the risk of being caught
between the two lines. The law provides
for companies to use each others tracks
where two or more companies use the same
street, and the companies should be made
to comply Herewith. c.. F. X

nc hdTbAet DeHleESs
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The order of the District Commissioners
prohibiting country dealers from occupying
the public streets in front Of the markets
and displaying their produce for sale, not
only deprives many of them from earning
living, but makes marketing much moro
difficult. There were many advantages Sc
cured by the country people being allowed
to offer their produce, as all who have
frequent occasion to visit the market ap
preciated, and after canvassng the SUBJ
ject pretty thoroughly I have failed to find
any one who was injured by it. Now, If
the public were benefited, why are the
public interfered with in their rights? I
write more especially of the Riggs market,
where l have been a tri-weekly customer
for some years. AS far as l am able to
learn, every one who visits the market re-
grets the action of the District authorities
in evicting the numerous ''uncles'' and
"aunttes,' Of whom we have purchased our
supplies for so long a time, and / make a.
public appeal in their interest. In the next
three weeks they dispose generally of more
of their produce. including holiday greens,
than during any three months of the year,
and 1t will be special hardship If they
are not allowed to secure their Christmas
| money. They have no other way to earn q
living than by selling what they collsot in
the woods. II they are not allowed to oc-
cupy the pavement of the street in front Of
the market 1t will be Impossible for them
to display or sell their green's. for 1t Is
simply out OF the question for them to
crowd into the limited space allowed them
The money they make on their Christmas
greens Is about the only money they can
expect to make for their support during
| the winter, and it will be crime to pre-
vent them from selling they have been
since markets were established. If any one
would be injured by 1t I would not make
the appeal. The market dealers the store
keepers and those who reside nearest the
| market make complaint and have had
no cause for any. Why, then, is such an
| unjust and uncalled for order issued, and
particularly at this season of the year?
