lector is Conducting an Inquiry.

1t is understood that Collector Stack
able has had under investigation for
some days past, the alleged connection
of Chinese Imperial Consul Yang Wal
Ping, with the smuggling of opium into
this port.
Some time ago such charges were
preferred against the Consul by MEM
bers of the Bow Wong party. The
charges were laid before Secretary of
State John Hay. 1t was alleged that
the consul was a party to and was cog
infant of the wholesale smuggling of
opium. Secretary Hay turned the char
ges over TO the Treasury Department
which, in turn, directed Collector
Stackable to investigate the matter
Collector StaCkabe is reported to
have been busy the last three or four
days with an inquiry into the matter
He has ques .Oned a number of prom
inent local Chinese merchants on the
subject, and has secured from them af-
fidavits CorrobOrating the charges
against the Consul 1t is said that the
Consul's connection with the smuggling
of at least $4,000 tins of opium has been
charged by the various witnesses. The
matter is under investigation this af-
ternOon.

GOINGAF TER THE KERR
MASTER OF AMERICA MARU MAY
SIGHT HER.
If She Is Worth Saving He May Tow
He'd to Laysan Island with Prize
Crew.

Captain Going of the American Maru
will make a search for the abandoned
British bark Fannie Kerr. In case he
should find her some distance this side
of Laysan Island and she should prove
worth salvage he will probably tow her
back to these islands. In case the boat
should be located close to Laysan ISL
and however, and she be found worth
saving, he will tow her to Laysan ISL
and and leave her there with a prize
crew abroad.
As soon as the American Maru arriv-
ed yesterday and the news of the loss
of the Fannie Kerr was made known to
the officers, the men all took the Keen
est interest in the possibility of locat-
ing the lost vessel for they realized
chat it would be a nice little sum in the
pockets of some Of them.
Captain Going was provided with
copies Of the Star containing the COM
pete statements of Captain Gibbons
and the members of the crew of the
vessel Fannie Kerr Going expressed
the intention of running over Ito take
a look at the abandoned vessel sho1ld
| she be in his course. The America
! Maru takes the same course that the
! Fannie Kerr Is thought TO be near. Al
! ter leaving here, the Oriental bound
! steamship will pass between Kauai and
| Niihau and then take a general north
| westerly course toward Yokohama,
running to the northward of the chain
| of shoals and reefs which stretch out
! from Nihau to Midway Island.
| 1t is thought possible that the bark
| may be sighted near Laysan Island. In
case she is found within the proximity
of that island, Captain Going win tow
| the bark to Laysan and leave crew
| aboard her. The American Maru should
| reach the neighborhood of where the
| Fannie Kerr may be, tomorrow and the
| following day and while in those lati-
| tudes, a close watch will be kept for
! the abandoned vessel There is a pos
! sibility that the Kerr may have drifted
! toward Kauai and, in such event If
! Captain Going finds her worth saving
! he will probably put his vessel about
and tow the Kerr TO some port on Kau-
| al or Niihau where the bark can be an
| Chored with safety.
! 1t is stated about the waterfront that
Mate Weisbach of the steamer Waiale-
ale has decided to start with one of his
schooners to search for the Fannie
| Kerr.
! Admiral Merry has not given any or
ders to Captain Thomas of the Albat-
ross todestroy the Fannie Kerr, and it
is not thought likely that the vessel
will be dispatched for such purpose.

whereby navy lieutenant will rank with an army captain.
 These invidious comparisons between officers of the army and navy are clearly demonstrated in the social life of Wash ington. where tactful entertainers will carefully avoid any unnecessary amalga- nation of the two clements. especially where d 'lion" is to be a feature of the evening. This fact is so hagrantly manifest in the social functions of the national capital. that it has frequently given rise to much ridicule Rut the general public is less concerned with these irascibe and arbitrary gradations among themselves, that with their mutual pretensions to special privileges. precedence. and exclusivencss.
 To the extent of education and social advantages. which every walk of social life naturally enjoys above others less faVorably situated. these officers are justified in their pretensions, but always upon basis of good conduct. culture and refinement, and in no wise because of their official station. Society in America is too democratic to admit of any other method of exclusiveness. even i'll the most aristocratic circles This is self-evident. where it is possible for a tailor. rail-splitter. tow-boat driver, or any other grade attaining to the rank oi President. and their families receivins the homage of first ladies'"
 There is little doubt that. in both of these divisions of the public service the Army and Navy--are to be founo some of the highest opponents of the polite arts, and the most correct ex. emplars of all the proprieties and conven- tionalities of the most exclusive circles of social life. Yet, they are essentially representative gentlemen, without regard to their profession, and would be so il and walk of life. Indeed it may be doubt. ed if the permanent vocation of sol dier, or sailor, is not detrimental. in { measure, to all of those nicetics and that genteel polish which are tbe equipment of the representative devotee of the up. per circles of society

lowing good story, which is vouched for:
 A gentleman, residing in a colder re- zion, was accustomed to spend his win- ters in the South. where he made numer- ous friends, for he was a genial fellow of admirable character. About the time of his departure, at the close of about the fifth season, he was the recipient of some small courtesy at the hands of one of his friends, whereupon he explained: MT.
 -, you Southerners overwhelm me! have been here for month and have had no opportunity of spending my own mon- ey. Only this morning went to several stores, to pay some small bills. made by my wife, when I was informed. at each place. tha. the accounts were balanced My host had heard of the obligations and had discharged them without letting me know of it." After a few minutes more of conversation, the friends separated, the gentleman from the colder region eX- acting promise of his friend from Dixie to visit him, at his summer cottage, later on. So, when summer came, the promised visit was made, and several pleasant days spent with the gentleman on the banks of beautiful lake in the mountains. However, on the first day of the visit, the wife of the host approached the guest with the announcement that. fish din- ner had been arranged for the evening In honor of the guest. At the appointed time some ten or more couples took a steam launch and enjoyed a run of an hour and fine fish dinner. Upon return- ing to the dock the host went over to the guest and extended his hand for his Che guest'sJ part of the expense for the launch. How much?" asked the guest Fifty cents" replied the host. So much solid enjoyment for so little!" responded the guest.

MEETING OF THE
 MoTHERS' UNION.

The meeting of the Mothers Union held on Thursday, 18th inst, was one of un- uEual interest.
 Mrs. Erwin Craighead of Mobile, for mefly President of the State Federation now the editor of the Federation organ, was present, and in response to request from the President of the Union, spoke with her usual ease and perspicuity, on a subject now interesting the State clubs whether the Alabama Federation shall join the national order. Mrs. Craighead, who has studied the question. thinks that only good can come to the State Fed eration by its union with the larger or ganiZation. Her arguments were so for cible that the vote of the Union was carried without a dissenting voice in fa- vor of joining the National Federation.
 After a reading by the President of ex- tracts from an address, delivered at the National Congress of Mothers by Dr. Chrissman on the Science of Pathology or Child Study. an interesting discussion was held by the members on the subject What two traits are most important to cultivate in the child?"
 Then Mrs. Craighead was urged to speak again on the Boys Reformatory which she has recently visited. She told of the fifty-four boys in charge there; of the industries established under the direction of MT. Griffin. the superintend- ent; of his wonderful ability as a teach CT; of the motherly kindness Mrs. Grif- fin shows the boys; of the home life that surrounds them. and of the great need there is for money to carry on the work more effectively; to build a new dorm ito-y; to buy necessary tools for farm work, carpentering. harness making and shoe making.
 What better opportunity gould be offer ed to those who are blessed with this worlds goods, to invest in this good work of redeeming little children from ignorance and vice.

AN ORANGE PARTY.

On January 10th Miss Mary Jordon Wushburn arrived at the interesting age of 5 years. In honor thereof she entertain ed quite d number of her little friends at an orange party at the home of her parents. MT and Mrs. Fountain Wash burn in Tuskegee. The house was beau tifully decorated with the glistening green of holly and ferns and in the din- ing room the color scheme of green and yellow was tastefully carried out. Thirty covers were laid for thirty happy, laugh ing children and at the place prepared for the little hostess five yellow and green candles sparkled in remembrance of the dancing sunlit days embraced in the five years of little Mary Jordan's life. The young lady who had lived nearest her little hostess these tiny years blew out the candles and wished for her many, many returns of the day.

 Current Events-Mrs Douglass.
 The members of the Magazine Club de- cided at this meeting to divide their mag agines that have accumulated Tn the past three years, between the Heron Street School and MT. Brewer, who will dis tribute those he receives among the pris- ons throughout the State.
 The members took action on the subject of Miss Hodnett's lectures for Thursday and Friday. and expressed themselves as delighted to be patron esses for them.
 Miss Hodnett, though having spent much of her life in other cities, is a na- tive Alabamian. Her father, Dr. w. F. Hodnett of Tuskegee, took his degree in the University of Pennsylvania in 1886, then went to Tuskegee and was made first intendant of the newly-incorporated town in 1S3S
 Miss Hodnetts mother was Miss Eliza beth Goodall, and her grandmother was Miss Elizabeth Rebecca Lucas. When the Marquis de Lafayette made his cele- brated tour of the United States in 1924, she entertained him in Milledgeville. Ga, her home, and Miss Hodnett's mother, little girl, sat his knee, and, pulling his ear, said, Big ear.'' When the moth- CT apologized the Marquis laughingly said. That is a compliment, for big ears are sign of honesty
 After the great cotton panic of that de- cade, MT. and Mrs. Goodall lived in Montgomery short while.
 Miss Hodnett spent many years in New York, where she studied and taught be- ing engaged in the Fort Washington School, and the Van Norman Institute for Young Ladies. In late years she has pursued special studies in the University of Chicago. Her work in the literary study of the Bible is very dear to her. She desires to emphasize the literary aspect of her lectures. for they are en- tirely undenominational and she does not undertake theological interpretation of any kind. The recognition of literary

SOCIAL ARRoaANcE.

(By Andrew James Miller.)
 The irascible demeanor. and even inso- lence, on the part of army officials, developed during the hazing investiga- ton, last year, at West Point, and the subsequent canteen investigation at Fort Sheridan, simply confirmed the general verdict of the country that this department of the public service is largely dominated by a aself-complaisancy, superciliousness. and overweening pride that is decidedly reprehensible. The same is true of the navy. and the ill., advised, but manifestly sincere statement of Admiral Sampson touching the pro- motion of Gunner Morgan. was convinc- ing evidence of the same spirit permeat- ing the navy. This was even more flag rantly demonstrated during the recent Admiral Schley investigation, when young naval officers resented the ordina- ry methods of being cross-examined.
 All who are familiar with the official and social life of these two divisions of the public service, will coincide in this view. that both departments have & vague idea that they are raised a few notches above every other class It goes still further, when it is weil- known fact that the navy arrogates to itself grade or so above the army, and this is encouraged in the classification,
