On Feb. 10, 1910 five days after the
death of Baby Dorothy little Helen
Geraldine Francis, born March %, 1907,
was called to join her baby sister.
Helen was a handsome dark eyed little
girl, very brilliant and witty. Though
not yet three years old, little Helen
could recite many of her older sisters
pieces and would learn their spelling
by listening to her sisters while they
were playing school, This beautiful
little girl was loved by all who knew
her, and with her sisters, will be great

favoring circumstances made me acquainted
with the most important institution in the
city, Creighton university, which is like
those of st. Louis and of Georgetown, near
Washington, in the hands of the Society of
Jesults. I visited several schools and
realized that such institutions in France
may we'll envy those Of America.
Science and letters notably have entree
to this city institution, a veritable palace
surrounded by gardens: 1t has also a
course in medicine, completed by a splen-
did hospitaD, a course in dentistry, and in
pharmacy. and possesses complete equip
ment in the way of laboratories, with fin
est of apparatus.
One thing which distinguishes Creighton
university, remarkable as it is in these
matters also, especially in regard foI
classic culture, is that part Of it's course
is free. 1t is easy to see that to make this
possible, or even to found such a vast
Catholic institution In such a place, excep-
tionRl liberalities are necessary. These be-
long to Edward and John Creighton, true
founders and god-parents of the university.
In all generous America there are no other
Catholics who, to our knowledge, have
done so much for education as these two
brothers. No one knows exactly how much
they have given, but 1t is clear from the

Those who argue that vaccination Is as
dangerous as smallpox itself will derive
small comfort from figures in the hands of
the public health and marine hospital
service. the splendid governmental agency
for the preservation Of the national health.
These figures show that Of 2.275, 600 cases
observed in Germany there were only thir-
ty-five deaths from vaccination. In another
authenticated series of observations there
was but one death IN 5000 vaccinations
In a series Of 5000 cases in Canada there
was not a single death reported.
The danger from vaccination is in nowise
comparable to the illness from smallpox.
The history Of the eighteenth century
shows how terrible and widespread were
the ravages of this fearful plague 1t was
called the Attila Of diseases. the very
scourge Of God, ~overrunning countries and
destroying whole populations. Six hundred
million people died from It in the century
whose end marked the discovery Of vac
cination. More than 30 per cent OF the
whole population had the smallpox during
their lives. 1t caught the king in his
palace and the peasant in his howell; the
rich man was attacked as readily as the
pauper and the cultured were no more
immune than the ignora 1t.
Most contagious Of diseases, and second
only to leprosy in its loathsomeness, it is
little wonder that Parliament gave Jenner
grants amounting to more than $3.50, 600
that Napoleon liberated prisoners OF
war upon his request and that Thomas
Jefferson wrote him that so long as mar
lived upon the earth. with disease for his
portion, the name OF Jenner must ever be
fresh in the human mind. The world cannot
forget this benefactor Of millions living and
generations unborn.
Yet the suggestion for the great discovery
came from ar humble milkmaid. In the pres.

The work OF these searchers begins
when the liner anchors in quarantine
and does not finish until the gangway
Is hauled down on sailing day. One
or more of the searchers are always
among the last to leave the ship.

an electric torch. according to the part
of the ship to be explored, the search
'ers tackle their job while the ship is
still anchored in quarantine. They al
ways work in pairs for reasons which
will appear later. When a new liner
is placed in commission the searchers
are among the first to get copies of the
ships plans, a study of which is a help
in revealing possible hiding places for
opium or other contraband.
The search extends to all parts of
the ship. The captains cabin is no
more exempt than is the inside of the

The lifeboats. tightly laced in their

which is stored the food that the law
requires to be carried for use In case
of emergency. BY throwing the canned
goods and hard tack overheard the
smuggler makes room in ono of these
lockers for quite stock OF opium.
On a big liner there are many boats
and each boat contains half a dozen
possible hiding places for dope.

OF them is asked to bring more than
few tins. as, by dividing the 'transac-
ton among many, the chance of q total
loss is materially reduced.
When the ship returns each steve

he intrusted the smuggler's gold. If
the customs searchers have not found

trader watches his opportunities and
slips the opium, perhaps only tin a

To search every man who leaves

be impracticable. During the stay in

the morning and o'clock in the after
noon there is a steady stream of

the searchers decided TO look it up
They had to excavate a drift over the
top of the coal. but 1t was worth the
labor, for in the cavity they found
big consignment OF opium and the gear
used in getting il ashore
To land opium via this port IL was
necessary to have a confederate IN a
small boat under the wharf. At night
time the port was opened and a thin
line lowered into the water The man
IN the boat carried this line under the
wharf and. when he had mOored his
boat, signaled and then hauled away
To the light line was attached a
heavier one and in few minutes there
was rugged a regular life une. over
which. by means of some sort of
breeches buoy attachment the opium
was trolleyed from the ship to the
small boat. They were never caught
at this. but the gear found with ths
opium told the story with graphic elo-
quenoe.
Two Chinese recently walked ashore
from one OF the big Maru liners. One
OF them carried a suit case that ap-
peared to be heavy. A customs in
spector was on the wharf and when he
attempted to search the Celestials the
one who had no suit case protested.
The protest was overruled- When u

He halted the pair and made them open

When the Korea was last in port the
customs searching force swooped down
on the Pacific Mail wharf and searched
every stevedore as he left the wharf at
the end of his days work. Only one
was found who had opium concealed
about him. but as he was closely re-
lated to a man whose interest IN smug-

Its racJorles IN accordance win al
agreement made at the international
opium conference. This narrows the
channel by which the forbidden drug
can reach this country and in meas
ure simplifies the task of preventing
its importation. Clever as the old
coast smugglers were, and daring, they
were children and bunglers compared
with the oriental innocents upon whom
the higher up smugglers now depend
almost entirely for their supply of con-
traband.
All the liners running between here
and the orient carry Asiatfc crews OF

tiger because it looks so easy. others
execute commissions on both sides of
the Pacific for clients on the opposite
shore and practically every one Of them
carries on a steady traffic in opium to
provide the capital for carrying on his
other enterprises.
L HIS IS now the game Is worked To-
day. The head smuggler is usually a
white man possessed of means and
sufficient political influence to help
him out of any scrape into which his
Illicit business may lead him. His
aids he finds in the ranks of the steve
dores and others whose work gives
them the liberty Of the oriental liners

stevedores whose respect for the law
would not allow them to lend them
selves to this kind OF Industry, but
there are others, and enough Of them
TO carry out the head smuggler's
scheme. who are more than willing to
take a little risk for the sake of max
ing little easy money. Furthermore,
many of them look upon smuggling as
an almost legitimate form of sport
and there are men on the Pacific Mail
wharf today who could be trusted with
uncounted gold, but who think no more
of hiding a tin of opium in their shirt
bosom and bringing IL ashore than
they do of quitting work when the IL

The Chinese on the ships, although
willing enough to engage in the opium
traffic. are not prepared to use their

the enemy Is fitting back and forth
all the time the inspectors work. These
slant eyed conspirators take careful
note of what places are searched, and
when the searchers double on their own
tracks. as they frequently do, they
sometimes find opium in q corner that
was empty perhaps the day before.
Only a few months ago the oil cans
on ono of the China liners were found
to be flled with opium. To the vent In
side the can a pipe extending to the
bottom Of the can had been soldered.
This pipe was filed with oil. The body
of the can was filed with opium. which
was done by cutting off the bottom and
soldering II on again. When the search
er hefted these cans he found them ap-
parently full. To make sure that the
contents was oil he unscrewed the cap
and inserted his probe. II went to the
bottom OF the pipe, and an examination
of the probe showed that the can con-
tanned oil from top to bottom II one
of the inspectors had not accidentally
kicked q can and found the resistance
suspiciously solid for liquid opium

in Standard oil packages.
Two inspectors were scufding one
day at the saloon entrance on one OF
the Oriental and Oceanic liners. One
of the men fell and struck with his
head against what should have been a
solid mahogany newell post. The post
gave forth q sound like a drum. and
the investigation that followed showed
that the post had been followed out
For what purpose was evident from the
fact that q dozen tins OF opium were
found In the interior.
On one steamer that has done it's
share OF smuggling was found a space
between the back of the coal bunkers
and the outside skin of the ship. In the
side OF the ship was a small port that
was never used for legitimate pur-
poses. As this port showed on the plan
