o. T. Crawford Attaches Her Box Of
fee Receipts in Wichita

Wichita, Dec. lathe box receipts Of
the Broken Heart" company, which
played at the Crawford opera house
last night, were attached by the sheriff
upon 2 writ for breach of contract.
The action was brought through Hut
man & Harvey for Q. T Crawford, who
claimed damages in the sum OF $500
for failure on the part OF the company
to comply with an alleged agreement to
play in theaters of a certain circuit con-
trolled by the plaintiff.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Voss served
the writ and incidentally delayed the
performance for half an hour.
The curtain was about to go up for
the last act with the entire company
upon the stage, when the stalwart form
of the deputy Unexpectedly appeared
upon the scene. and in a sonorous voice

troup that the show could not proceed

seized. but upon second thought, Voss
thought it might be best to leave them
to the care Of their master, especially
as the poor beasts appeared to be about
half starved and were surveying his
form with an evident view OF making
him the victim OF a relished repast-

while the lady members OF the troupe
began to cry when the deputy informed
them that unless their managers would
come TO terms he would be forced to
cart away their belongings.
While the argument between the dep
uty and actors was going on behind the
curtain, the audience became impatient
at the delay despite the efforts Of the
orchestra to attract.
When they saw that the deputy sheriff
was determined to not permit the show
to continue until the attachment was
satisfied. Manager J. z. Caven and
Esther RujaerO. the leading lady. ar
ranged for the payment Of the claim
from the box receipts, after which the
last act was presented. Miss Rujaero

ROMANCE IN A MARRIAGE.
Mrs. Sadie Pipps Becomes Wife of
Millionaire Roger Morgan.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Dec. 13.-Roger
Morgan, president Of the Hopper Nor
gan Paper company, was today married
to Mrs. Sadie Pipps. Mr.. Morgan is a
son of President Morgan of the national
paper trust, and is said to be a mill
nonaire Behind this simple announce
ment lies a story of love and romance
that rivals the celebrated sacrifice of
Ruskin in voluntarily giving up his
wife, whom he loved, to enable her to
marry Sir John Millais.
Mrs. Pipps is a handsome young wo-
man. She may be 30 years old. though
she looks little more than rs. Until last
summer she was the wife of q, we'll
known travelling man in this city, who
appeared as devoted to her as she SEEM
ed fond of him. A year ago she met
Roger Morgan. Before she knew it he
was deeply attached to her. Her love for
him developed as suddenly. A suit for
divorce followed, which the husband
did not contest, and the decree granted.
The world only knows, or thinks it
knows, that Mr.. Pipps gave up his wife
because he loved her so much that he
believed a millionaire could make her
happier than he could. >

The High School auditorium was COM
fortably filled and the audience 50 ap-
preciated the efforts of the performers
that each number was encored; there
were ten numbers on the programme
Miss Sammis has a remarkably sweet
and powerful soprano voice. Miss Jen-
kins handles her violin with ease ana
skill and is altogether a pleasing player
Mr. Gamble has a fine bass voice and it
has been said that he has the best stage
presence of any man on the concert
stage but he gives one the impression of
being well aware of his own attractions
His double number, Honour and Arms,
by Handel, and THE Bonnie Banks OF
Loeb Lomond," an old Scotch melody,
was especially good and won more APP
plause than any OF his other numbers
Not the least of the attractions of the
evening were the piano numbers by Mr.

OPIUM SMOKING IN THE ORIENT
Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.

Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.
To learn the actual number of opium
smokers Is impossible, but we know the
amount of the foreign import of this
drug and the naive confessions of re-
formed opium smokers tells us precisely
the amount of opium required to pass
the yin or craving. 1t is one-ffth of an
ounce daily. An ounce or lang Is con-
sumed in five days, and a catty suffices
for eighty days. Four catties are
enough for 800 days, and another half
catty will carry the smoker to the end
of a year with comfort. A picul is
enough, then, for only twenty-five per-
sons, and $4,000 piculs is sufficient for
not more than 100000 persons. The
law of compulsion in the smoker Is just
as imperious for native opium as for
foreign. 1t is a matter Of great interest
to know the extent Of the evil.
In regard to Szechuen, that very pop
ulous and wealthy province, Mr..
Schjoth, in the Trade Report for 1898,
informs us that Szechuen produces 100,-
900 piculs of opium, and the cultivation
is always increasing. At Chungching,
where he is commissioner, he is told
that 10000 piculs suffice for consump-
ton in the province, and that $4,000
piculs are exported. We may conclude
that the smokers of that province can
not be less than 100000 Since the pop
ulation is 67,OOO,OOO, the number of
SmOlyprS is ono in a hun1rad In ShQnS
one in one hundred and forty smoke; in
Szechuen one in hundred. In Formosa
one in fifteen is the proportion in cities
where the people are sunk to the lowest
point of degradation, and this is the
largest proportion yet known of opium
smokers as compared with the genera

sullen mood. Through an interpreter he
learned that they had formed a plot to
mob him. Calling some of the leaders
to one side he attempted in concilia-
tory manner to induce them to advise
the others to return to work. They re-
turned evasive answers. Looking back
Maj. Logan observed the mob advanc-
ing. The men were armed with clubs.
He shouted in a voice that could have
been heard blocks away: stop, men;
you don't know what you are doing"
But still the mob advanced.
"Tll kill the first one who comes near
me-" When twenty PAGES away Maj
Logan opened fire with his revolver
AT the first shot one of the leaders fell
and the echo of the next had not died
away when a second rolled in the dust.
The mob wavered and ran away. Lo-
gan then sent for surgeons and had the
wounded men cared for.

Peanut Butter.

There is an interesting little exhibit at
the export exposition which daily at
tracts a large number of visitors. They
do not come to see, nor yet to hear, but
rather to crafty a recently acquired
taste for peanut butter, which the kind
old inventor of the butter-making ma
chine hands out in small amounts on
diminutive soda crackers. The inven-
tor. who is kept busy grinding out the
alluring product, is just such a looking
old fellow as one would expect to invent
a contrivance that makes everybody
who approaches happy and comforta-
BILE. He is kindly eyed and smiling.
His voice is like the sound of bubbling
soup, and his idea of happiness is to
have somebody open wide his mouth,
pop inside the bit of cracker smothered
with peanut butter, and then raise both
eyes ecstatically, smack his lips audi
bly,, and say: Wow, but that's goodP'
Every motion of the consumer is keenly
noticed, and If the verdict is favorable
the old inventor is your friend for life.

CfgarmaLers' Union Won.

New York, Sept. 3.-The members of
the cigar manufacturers combine which
locked out its union employees 26 months
ago have surrendered Internationally, and
it is believed the union will win a complete
victory. The strike has involved 10000
persons in this city and has spread to
Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pa; York and
NIcSherrytown, Pa, where 10000 more
workers have been called out iii branch
factories operated by members OF the
manufacturers combine. 1t has cost the
Cigarmakers International union nearly
$500, 900, and the cost to the manufacture
ers they can not themselves estimate.
The factories have been idle for six months,
and much of the trade lost in that time has
been driven to other firms and to other
cities and can never be regained.
