During his early days as a public
speaker, and while he was yet judge
of a district court, Congressman
George p. Lawrence was invited to
make one Of his first public addresses
before a large body-the board of
trade and invited guests. The event
was one which brought together all

were 81 each.
On the night of the banquet the
Judge appeared at the door, and the
ticket seller, not noticing who 1t was

handed Mr.. Lawrence one, and pocket

him and said, with an apology, that it

The judge threw out his chest and
remarked with dignity:

I am willing to pay 81 any time to
hear Judge Lawrence speak"
And he didn't take back his money.

GREAT DEMAND FOR CURE BY
CHINESE OF MALAY.
Plant Discovered Which Is a Specific
For Smoking Habit-Free Oispen
saries Established-Thou-
sands Cured.

Washington.-The anti-opium move
ment in Malay, says a Penang cores
pondent. can only be described as
colossal. So rapidly has it spread
and so popular has It become that IL
reminds one more of a Welsh revival
than a movement undertaken by the
stolid Chinese.
When the news OF the movement
first came from China a few enthusi-
asts took up the matter in Singapore
and opened a free hospital for the
cure OF smokers, but very little prog
ess was made. A few weeks ago,
however, a well-to-dO Chinaman in
Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Selan-
gor, received from China specimens
OF a plant which was said to be
cure for the opium habit. A short
search revealed the fact that the plant
grew freely in Selangor in a wild
state, and in a very short time a
quantity was obtained and active op-
erations commenced.
The leaves of the plant, which ap-
pears to be a shrub somewhat akin
to gambler are exposed to the sun for
a day, then chopped fine and roasted,
after which an infusion is made and
the specific is ready for use. The
first man experimental upon was a
coolIe employed by a European, and,
although he was a confirmed opium
smoker, he was pronounced cured in
a week.
Now an anti-opium society has been
formed in Kuala Lumpur, and the
specific is distributed free, while SO
great has become the demand for the
opium plant" as the Chinese call it
that those who gather the leaves in
the jungle demand $40 per picul
(133 1-3 pounds), for them. The dis
pensaries established for the distribu
ton Of the specific are hard pushed
TO keep up with the demand, the
applicants in Kuala Lumpur alone
numbering over 1000 daily.
The anti-opiumists say they have
cured in the few short weeks since
the plant was discovered over 14.00C
people in the Kuala Lumpur distric
alone, and the statement appears to b'

proof of his statement DIR. Gentry
points to the fact that the magnetic
pole is several hundred miles from
the north pole and also that investlga-
tion has proved that the polar regions
formerly were within the tropical
zone.

ing TO be altered very shortly, he
says, but the manner in which the
change will occur promises small
comfort to Americans The new
prophet essentially is man OF
wrath aud his prophecies TEEN with
denunciations and calamities.
When the change comes, he says,
Lake Erie will disappear and Lake
Michigan will arise and sweep Chi
cago out of existence. At the same
time all the cities of the Atlantic
coast will be inundated, he says. In
order to avoid any unfairness in his
distribution of calamities Daniel IL.

 During the summer and autumn neither illness nor accident occurred.
 But when a severe winter followed, all at once the 'navigators" began to call on the doctor for castor-oil.
 Each brought his bottle. into which an ounce was poured. until the oil was exhausted and the doctor was forced to send to town for a further supply.
 When that, too, was getting low, the dotcor one day quietly asked a healthy looking fellow what was wrong with Ahe men that they required so much castor-oil.

Answefs for the State of Alabama were filed yesterday in the Federal Court by Thomas w. Martin, assistant attorney general in four of the pig railroad injunction suits first taken into that court.
 Among the measures attacked In the original bills. were the two and one half cent passenger rate law, the llo commodities freight rate law, and the enactment known as the outlaw law which prohibited foreign corporations from bringing suit in Federal Courts
 The answers filed yesterday are m the cases. of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham. the Nashville Cnat, tanooga and St. Louis, the Seaboard Air Line and the Birmingham anid Atlanta Air Line.
 With these. all of the answers In the original railroad litigation are in, ana the four filed yesterday are practical lv the same as answers previously recorded in other of these railroad bills.
 The principal point in the answers are that they allege the validity ana fairness of the laws attacked and the reasonableness of rates fixed in such laws.
