ment, to which the mayor took ex-
ception stating that the firemen of
this city had never failed to get from
sthe council what they had asked for,
and would be treated right now. Rich
holt wanted the street commissioner
fired and fireman put on at the fire
house at his salary and little cross
fire came along after that, and good
deal of talk was wasted when finally
"a motion by Alderman Mckenzie that
the whole matter be referred to the
fire committee with power to act in
the securing of needed things through
the purchasing committee, and to ar
range for man or men at the fire
house, was carried.
City Attorney Register, on request,
stated his views as to the question of
what constituted dray under the
terms of the ordinance, the matter
having come up at the last council
meeting on a communication from The
Wachter Dray & Transfer Co., setting
forth that they only had four drays on
the street, although they had a num-
Der of wagons hauling coal, parcels,
etc., besides several in the stable that
were used when the others were not
in use. The city attorney held that all
vehicles Of whatever nature which
were used as drays for hire came un-
der the license provisions of the Or
dinance and must be pal dior. Theer
was more discussion over this matter
and then motion was carried that
dray owners be given a last call and if
they did not pay up in three days ar
rests would be made.
The appointment of David Jenkins
as night Waterman at the fire house
at $50 per month, was discussed some
more along with other fire matters and
all went to the fire committee.
An order for $500 was ordered drawn
in favor of the Commercial Club
band.
The mayor appointed Alderman p.
"A. Patterson as member of the board
of health. Alderman Reade asked thct
a 16-candle power light be placed at
the bell tower as formerly, which was
ordered put in.
The fathers then adjourned.

Ireland rioting and cattle-driving are

large scale, has taken place at FL

Anticipating trouble, the authorities

massed bands, 10 the residence OF Mr..
Donlon, agent TO Mr. O'Connor, the
owner OF the boycotted land.
Having given a chorus of groans,
the mob were preparing to attack the

OPIUM SMOKING IN
CHINA FAST BEING
ERAD|CATED
CRUSADE OF THE GOVERNMENT
ON THE Evil SHOWN IN THE
LOSS OF REVENUE-TEN.YEAR
LIMIT is FIXED.

LONDON, May 15.-China Is slowly
but surely ceasing TO be nation OF
opium consumers. The edict OF No
vember, 1906, by which the Chinese
government penslized and provided
for the gradual suppression OF the
opium traffic is having enormous effect
IN Chinese society, and the whole
force OF public opinion in the majority
OF provinces is concentrated against
the abuse.
The ambition of the Chinese gov
eminent is TO completely eradicate
opium-smoking within ten years, by
reducing the area OF poppy cultivation
by one-tenth each year, and by giving
bonuses to districts where opium
production becomes extinct before the
ten years are out
Meantime all opium smokers are
obliged 10 register themselves, stating
the amount they consume, and no
opium may be sold TO those who re-
main unregistered Persons over 60
years of age may continue TO smoke
opium. but all persons under that age
must decrease their allowance by one
fifth annually.
This law is being enforced every
where with vigor proportionate to
the strength Of the local anti-opium
sentiment. In addition, enormous
numbers of opium dens are being
closed. Opium smoking is no longer
being allowed in wine shops and
places OF public entertainment and
shops where anything connected with
the trade is sold. are now subject 10
regulation, and 10 confiscation unless
they show decrease in the extent OF
their trade.
Great difficulty is being found IN
enforcing the clause OF the edict which
provides that officials must either
cease opium smoking or retire from
the service. Although two imperial
princes were recently obliged to re-
sign their posts, thousands OF mandar-
ms continue TO use opium in private.
and sometimes even In their public Of
fees The government. however, is
getting rid OF the opium smoking of.

pointing to new Offices only non
