The people in the eastern part of
Hammond greatly appreciate the ac-

putting in the ornamental drinking
fountain at the intersection of State
street and Calumet avenue. It not only
adds to the appearance of the city, but
is an act Of humanity.

WHISKY VERSUS OPIUM.

In fact, opium is consumed here
about as much as spurious liquors
are in England and the United
States. Both habits are mighty
evil. and both cause a vast deal of
misery; but tO say that every man,
woman and child in China is an
opium fiend is as false on its face
as it would be to allege that every
man, woman the child in England
and America is addicted to drunk
lenness.
In closing this letter | would say
that 1t will be a long time before
the hopes Of the Chinese statesmen
and patriots can come to fruition.
The work of repression is going on.
rapidly, but opium is still smoked
largely in secret and an enormous
amount of underhand selling and
smuggling is done. These people
are just as human as we are and
the same conditions prevail as
would obtain in the United States
were we to try to abolish the drink
habit within as short time as the
Chinese have allotted to the wiping
out of this terrible drug. Some Of
the officials are hypocrites. others
ARE openly disobeying the law,
while others, bound in the LAGOON
grin Of the ODiun1 are spcretlv
smoking the drug or are injecting
morphine into their persons behind
their closed doors. The movement
for the most part is earnest and
honest, and it has already accom-
Iplished a vast deal Of good.

sination. train robbery and train
Wrecking and dynamite. The fact
that mere boys are resorting to
Black Hand methods, and boys of
good families, make it all the more
serious. It is learned that after
his arrest, one of the youngsters
implicated in the Norfield affair,
had the unbIushlng audacity to re-
proach Mr.. Brister for not putting
ST 200 in real cash IN that envelope
instead of a check (not knowing at
the time that the check itself was
cancelled one).
A few months ago another prom
inent citizen of Bogue Chitto DIR.
v. B. MARTINI, received a Black
Hand letter demanding 1000
from him. Failing to respond, a
short time after this his front door
was riddled one night with buck
shot, and this outrage was followed
in few days by another Black
Hand letter demanding 1000.
Still another prominent citizen OF
Bogue Chitto, about the same time,
received Black Hand letter warn
ing him to sell out what he had and
leave town on pain of death.
II peaceable, IaW-abiding citizens
and men of means especially men
like Brister and Butterfeld men
who are not only good citizens
themselves, but by their means,
thrift and enterprise furnish en-
pleyment for so many others are
to be held up and their money ex-
torted under pain of death. what
man with means or who is striving
to better his condition will want to
live or invest what he has in such q
community and who can say that
his time will not come next?
1t is from this standpoint that
officers of the law and all good cit
liens must consider this and like
cases.

tree and they drove on toward Sum
nit before turning round, he pass
ed them again: and when they stop
ped opposite the tree on their way
back, he had turned and passed
them once more going toward Nor
field, as they sat there near the
tree in their buggy. By this time
it was getting quite dark and when
they rode on they did not see him
any more.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Brister had TAX
en- the Mayor and Marshal of Nor
field into his confidence as well as
his wife, and these officers were ac-
quainted with what he had done
and the case left in their hands.
MIR. c. S. ButterGeld, head Of the
ButterieId Lumber Company at
Norfield, had received two similar
letters but short while before this
demanding 81, 900 from him, and
he and Mayor Osborn and Marshal
Simmons were already keenly on
the alert for the author or authors.
After keeping secret watch all
night, next morning about s o'cIock
Marshal Simmons arrested Versey

pants. as the guilty parties. They
had gone to the beech tree about Z
O'Clock Saturday morning and Sc
cured the package Mr.. Brister con-
cealed. and when arrested Zachary
had it on his person. It was also
found that the Brister and Butter
field letters were in the same hand
writing.
OF course it was great surprise
to nearly every one that the culprits
were so young and members of
good families in the Norfield COM
munity, and there have been
various speculations as to whether
or not older heads are not in league
with them. The boys were brought
to Brooknaven and lodged in Jail
Saturday, as above stated. Satur-
day afternoon the Moore boy was
released on a $500 bond and Satur-
day night young Zachary was re.
leased on a like bond. which their
distressed parents furnished.
The preliminary trial is to take
place at Norfield Friday. So far
as these two boys are concerned,
The Leader learns that both have
confessed and make no denial OF

whether others will be implicated
is not so certain.
However it may be viewed, there
can be no denying that this new
manifestation Of the criminal spirit
in our county has its serious and
alarming side and cannot be dealt
with as light and trifiing thing.

According to the new laws, which
are more OF less ,evaded, the smok-
| ing Of opium means immediate dis
nissal. Government detectives or
censors have been instructed to
shadow the officials. and those who
claim to have broken off the habit
are rigidly watched. just the
other day a private secretary Of one
Of the cabinet ministers was found
to have several ounces Of opium on
his person, and request for his
dismissal was promptly sent forth,
In one of the papers this morning !
see q dispatch stating that Prince
Chung. one of the imperial opium
commissioners, has just denounced
twenty high officials who have lied
as to their use Of the drug, and
that he demands their dismissal.
Last October two of the imperial
princes were ordered to resign
their posts that they might give
their entire time to the eradication
of their craving for the drug. and
at the same time. as an act of
mercy. three months Of extension
was allowed to certain civil and
military officials who had not obey
ed the imperial edicts.
The crusade is being extended
even to the ladies' of the palace.
They have been warned that they
must stop smokingS and certain
of these noble danes. who have
been secretly selling opium to their
friends, have been told that if they
continue they will be imprisoned.
AMONG THE VICEROYS.
The work of stopping the evil
among the clerks outside Pekin
has been delegated to the Viceroys
and Governors. There are twenty
two provinces in China, and the
work in each Of these is going on
rapidly, or the reverse. according
to the energy Of the Governor. In
Szechwan, a State in the far west
bordering on Thibet, one of the
new district officials invited all of
his subordinates to dinner. He
feasted them we'll, but, as they
were about to leave, he closed the
door, saying that he intended to
keep all with him under lock and
key for the next three days to learn
whether they were free from the
opium habit. He knew those who
were not would show nervousness,
and in this way he could learn how
to enforce the new laws.
It is believed that many Of the
|viceroys are still secretly smoking
and the anti-opium commissioners
have asked the Prince Regent to
call meeting at the capital Of all
the viceroys. governors ana gener-
as Of the army who have repnrted
that they have broken off the habit.
When they appear they will be
subjected to test to show whether
or not they have lied. Since this,
one viceroy has asked for time for
some of his officials, and others
have established opium hospitals
and cures.

CLOSING THE DENS.

In nearly every province OF China
there has been a general closing of
the opium dens. In some cities a
backdoor business is still going on,
but the public smoking has become
unpopular and dangerous, and the
chief opium used is now behind
closed doors. In Shanghai all the
dens in the native town have been
shut, and fully half OF those in the
foreign concessions wiped out. The
foreigners propose to clean out the
evil in their part of the city by
1910. In Wuchang the shutting up
of the dens has considerably dimirI-
ished the arrests for crime, and
one Of the policemen says this is
largely because he does not know
where to go to look for criminals.
In Foochow there were $40 dens
at the time the edict was issued.
They were all closed on the first Of
the fourth month Of the year fol-
lowing, and are still shut. The
same is true of Ichang, although
the shops for the sale of opium are
still open. Kashing. which for
years was one of the worst opium
smoking places in the province of
Chekiang. has abolished it's opium
shops. and the day of the closing
the opium pipes were burnt in pub
lie and the people rejoiced. The
same is true Of many other cities,
in not 4 few of which the opium
dealers have since secretly resumed
business.
A MIGHTY CRUSADE.
Outside the officials a mighty
crusade has been going on over
China to stop the use Of opium
anong the people. Indeed, there
are SO many different movements
that hardly know where to begin.
Every province has its anti-opium
societies. These meet regularly +;
they print and distribute anti
opium literature and send out men
to lecture upon the opium evil.
There is. one society in Canton
which has distributed millions of
pamphlets showing the terrible fate
Of the opium user. Pictures Of the
man before and after he has be-
come the slave Of the drug are pub
