Trick of Opium SmuggIer.

Says the China Mail: MANY and
various are the methods resorted to
by Chinese smugglers of opium to get
the drug either in or out of Hongkong,
but one that was exposed there the
other day had the distinction of being
extremely uncommon. Sergt. Garrad
has boarded licensed junk in search
OF goods that he suspected to be on
board and while waiting for the Chi
nese to bring them up from the hold
went to stroke some kittens that were
In basket on deck. To his surprise
he found that the little animals were
thickly smeared with a sticky sub
stance. which, on examining more
closely, he found to be opium. Other
kittens on board had also been treated
III a similar manner so that they
were the means of concealing a fair
ly large quantity of the drug. The
owner of the junk was convicted"

TURNING ON THE LIGHT.

Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland,
has been looked upon as a sort of freak
by great many people, but when he
does anything 1t has highly practi-
cal aspect.
Johnson was called upon to eradi-
cate the social evil. Did he agree to
stamp it out in an instant? Did he
order every house to close? Not for
Thomas. He simply ordered that cleo
trio lights be placed in front of every
maison de joie, big lights, too, 1000
candle boys and then he posted po-
liceman at the entrances with instruc-
lions to take notes on all who entered
the places. Maybe there wasn't some
thing doing. Because dives cannot
bear publicity and patrons of such
places are afraid of the light, and so
he'objectionable joint is thus put out
of the business, through lack of pat
ronage. The habitues stink away and
refuse to pass under surveillance OF
the policeman, and prominent" citi-
zens who were formerly frequenters of
the places are found skipping in and
out of dark alleys in that locality
no more.
Light will raid joints more success
fully than policemen. Pace them
under surveillance and make a rec
ord of the habitues and they will soon
go out of business. They cannot stand
publicity. They cannot thrive in day
light nor under the eye of the watch
full police.
Other cities are adopting Johnson's
plan.-State Journal.

that a ballet based on She" was to
be produced in Hungary, he wrote ask

A reply came that the manager was

Mr.. Haggard then wrote and asked

Real Estate Trust Company Fails
For Immense Snm,
LIABILITIES LARGE.
Late President of the Institution,

Several Days Ago, and Is
Declared to Blame.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-Unable to

dead. the Real Estate Trust company
of Philadelphia which, up to last Sat
urday, was considered one of the
strongest financial institutions in the
city, closed its doors Tuesday George
H. Earle, Jr., a promiLen. financier,
was appointed receiver
The liabilities of the company are
placed at $10,00O,OOO, against which
there are quick assets of about $4,000.

which is not negotiable or readily con.

held mostly as security for loans of
about $5,3O0,000 made to Adolph Sc

The man responsible for the failure
OF the bank was FraLk u. Nipple, one
OF Philadelphia's best known citizens,
who died suddenly last Friday morn.
Ing In his country home at Bryon
Mawr, near here, under circumstances
which, in the light of mysterious de-
yelopments, lead to the suspicion that
he may have committed suicide
Me- Nipple, in addition to being
president of the Real Estate Trust
company, was treasurer of the board
OF trustees Of the general assembly of
the Presbyterian Church Of the United
States and Of several other church
funds, and a director of the Franklin
National bank. Recently Mr.. Nipples
accounts of the Presbyterian church
were examined, and were found to
be correct, but it cannot be stated pos
itively whether all the securities of
the general assembly are intact
DR.. G.. H. Roberts, stated clerk of
the general assembly of the Presby-
terian church, said the Presbyterian
hospital of Philadelphia and the Pres

money in the failed bank. DIR. Roberts

Groesbeck, Tex, Aug. 29.-The Dem
ocrats of the Sixth district have made
a case for the courts. Judge Hardy of
Corsicana was formally declared by
the chairman the nominee of the con-
vention. Amide boots and cries and
conglomerate disorders Judge Field,
on behalf of Mr. Mays, denied the cor

State Chairman Garden ruled that
T. S. Henderson had the right to with

Tuesday Mr.. Henderson declared his
Withdrawal. The convention refused
to recognize 1t, and when the Hender-
son delegates cast their votes for Mays
Chairman Holbert ordered the secre-
tary to reserve them for Henderson.
In this way Mays was eliminated and
the delegates thus released, having
been chosen in the county conven-
lions by Hardy, all three from Lime
stone county cast their emancipated
votes for Hardy, and then The secre-
tary, when it was all over, declared
that Hardy had received 1921 votes
and Henderson 1928.
