Before the war there existed in
johannesburg a syndicate, well organ
lied, with wide ramifications, con-
trolled by half dozen millionaires
which sold liquor illegally to the ma
tives at an enormous profit. The pen
atty for conviction of engaging in this
traffic has now been made life i'm
prisonment and the stringency of the
law has mended matters, but not
ended them. Illegal whiskey and
struggled opium are now the desper-
ate enterprise Of few smaller men,
who stake their liberties against the
1000 per cent. profits which can be
made by them.
Illegal Liquor Sellers.
In the old days when johannesburg
was still a mining camp, when beer
and champagne were both retailed at
IS the bottle, in the corrupt and palmy
days of the Kruger oligarchy, the
liquor dealers had a monthly turnover
of millions, the natives were de-
bauched by Cape gin. and all work
upon the mines had to be suspended
between Saturday and Tuesday. until
they had recovered from their in
toxication. Vile alcohol, manufactured
from potatoes at a cost of about two
cents a gallon, was colored, bottled
and retailed at IL cents drink. U.s.
ually the manager of the nearest mine
received salary from the syndicate
to close his eyes to the affair; and the
majority of the detective force like
wise received a salary from two differ
ent and, theoretically, opposing pow
ers. The bars in which the liquor
was sold were simple rooms, adjoining
some store, access being obtainable
only through single door. The
liquors stood upon disappearing
sideboard. which when a spring was
pressed, sank through trap door in
the floor. Spies stood at every cor
ner in the vicinity to keep watch
against the approach of strangers OF
suspicious nature; and should such
draw near. an electric signal bell rang
out its warning, SO that the detective,
rushing into the store, pistol in hand,
would find nothing more eXhilaraung
than a party Of Kaffrs bargaining
over a blanket, unless one of these
same bargainers happened TO be
confederate of the raiding party, ana
had retained the alcoholic beverage IN
his mouth through the medium of
small sponge, aud had thus kept the
evidence which was to send the She
beener down to Capt Town for num-
Der of years, to help in construction
work on the breakwater.

WORK AMONG THE BLIND.
Movement Started to Develop Glass on
Industrial Lines.

A movement has been started to estab-
lish g. national association, the aim OF
which is to further Industrial work by the
blind. It is stated that in the United
States the blind people have been given the
higher education and have not been in
structed in business methods or practical
work at the various state schools, and
consequently there are many of them who
are utterly helpless If not burdens upon
their families.
In the language Of one who is prominent
ly Identified with the movement. I'VE want
to help them to help themselves by teach
ing them practical trades, and to produce
things the public will buy, not only because
they are made by the blind, but because
the things are well made and are useful

Miss winifred Holt secretary Of the New
York Association for the Blind, will give
an illustrated lecture on Industrial Work
for and by the Blind next Monday at s
o. clock pm. at the residence Of Mrs Her.
bert Wadsworth, 1901 Massachusetts ave-
nue. Invitations have been sent to many
men and women Of influence. ant those
who are taking an interest In the matter
hope the house will be crowded. Miss Holt
ia a sculptress- She became enamOred OF
the work in the industrial development Of
the blind through seeing two blind people
in Florence, Italy, at a musicale. She set
to work industriously to interest her friends
and shortly afterward started an interna-
tional bureau, through which means the
scope Of the movement has been widened
and bids fair to result in great work for
the unfortunate class deprived Of sight.

In Justice Court

In Justice Stamper's court last
Monday, the cases from Fowler
came up for hearing, In this case
considerable booze had been taken
out of the Robinson drug store, and
DIR. Robinson and his brother both
arrested for illegal selling. There
was some question whether Justice
Dick had a right to surrender his
office to c. o. Wine without sur
rendering the liqnor and the liquor
cases then pending and the defense
demanded that this be done. Stam-
per overruled the motion and the
case went on, that is the trial of the
liquor. The defense also claimed
that they could not try the liquor
without trying Robinson but Justice
Stamper ruled that this could be
done and they proceeded, found the
liquor guilty and ordered it destroy
ed which was done, The cases
against E. T. Robinson and his
brother were dismissed but they
were immediatly arrested on war
rant issued by the district court and
were placed under $500 bond each
for their appearance at the October
term.

Some went to Meade, some to

Those who went to Englewood Jared
a little better, but there was noshade
and other accommodations meager.
The "picked up" ball team that
went to Englewood got "skinned"

Meade tire not of telling of the

that splendid city. Although they

boys are happy that they played in
the best game of the season, and at
Meade, where they do things.
