Oh the Steamer SIBERIA reports mat
strenuous efforts are being put forth
by the Chinese government to stop
the opium traffic, though the English
colony at Hong Kong wishes to have
the traffic undisturbed on account of
the tremendous revenue derived.
When a ,Chinaman is caught smok-
ing opium in many of the cities of
the Flowery Kingdom, nowadays, he
is punished by having 600 blows from
a bamboo rained on his back and
limbs So says DR.. F. j. Tooker, Of
San Francisco, Cal, a medical mis-
sionary of the Congregational Church,
who has just returned after a long
sojourn in China
In order to pay an election bet with
his brother-in-laW, Oscar e. Nulf, Of
East Palestine, Ohio, near Toledo,
left Pittsburg a few days ago for
Washington, ID. c., and return on foot
by the same route, covering distance
of $50 miles in 100 days, or forfeit
$780, He started penniless and will
attempt to clear expenses by selling

letter, written by Theodore
Roosevelt, in 1904, to the late Colonel
William L. Stone, sold in New York
City recently for $S.75, although it
contained only tWenty-nine words in
all, including the signature, and was
thus hardly more than autograph. In
the same sale letter to John Gum

SO, $1.25 and $3.50, respectively. Tive
letters of James A. Garfield brought
only $3.50 apiece.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has an
nounced that hereafter it will furnish
to all passengers on Pullman cars tea
or coffee or both free. This will ap-
ply only to trains to which diner
is attached. The Pullman people have
been notified that, hereafter the por-
tiers will be required to go to the
dining car at the request of any pas
senger at any time except when the
car is closed for the night and bring
coffee or tea to the passenger without
charge. Pittsburg officers of the road
say it has been found that tea and
coffee are preyentives for head
acres due to railroad travelling. The
railroad company hopes to get more
than its money back by not having
to take care of so many sick pas
sengers.

The reports given out by the Unit

that comes out of the mines every
year. almost staggers belief. They
show that less than one man out Of
every one hundred working men in
the United States is engaged in min

$S00,000,000 annually. If the other
working people produced as much
wealth proportionately as the miners
they would be producing every year

Kearsarge had more mascots than any

TEDDY DUE AT MOMbASSA ON
 FAMOUS HUNT
Ex-PreSident Is Due On the Hunting Ground Within "A Hours-Slaughter Will Not Start at Once

WASHINGTON, Aprl 2l-Within the next twenty-four hours, barring unforeseen delays. the steamship Ad- miral will reach Mombasa, where the Roosevelt expedition will disembark to begin the journey into the African jungle. The first leg into the wilder ness will be made by the hunters over the Uganda railway, which con meets the island of Mombasa with the mainland and then extends on to Machakos, a total distance of some two hundred miles. At Machakos Mir. Roosevelt and his party will visit TOT several weeks with Sir Aldred Pease, a famous hunter with whom Mir. Roosevelt is already acquainted
 The journey from Mombasa to MachaEos is an extremely picturesque one. Leaving the British East Afri- ca seaport, the railway runs past Xiii indini and dips down to Salisbury bridge, a magnificent viaduct 1700 feet long, connecting the island of Momhasa with the mainland and then begins the steep climb to the small station c. Changamwe. At the lat ter point Is obtained a fine view of the arms of the sea that enfold Nom hasa. The ascent to Changamwe is sharp and. though the distance is still short from the coast, the traveller can observe game from the car windows, At Vol, which is 1000 feet above sea level, the Roosevelt party will have an opportunity to see Mount Kilima- jaro, one of the highest peaks in Af- rica. rearing it's crest 19,000 feet in- to the clouds.
 The jungle railway then passes through undulating and fairly open country until the train reaches Tsavo station, cB the banks of the little river of the same name.
