BLIND GIRL IS
STILL HOPING
sksptics Laugh at Margaret
Shipley's Miracle"

Pittsburg, Feb. Though Margaret
Shipley, the McKeesport blind girl
who has been heralded as a second
Saviour" who was to evangelize the
world, heal the sick and lame and per
form other wonderful manifestations,
who has been fasting for eight days
in the belief that at the expiration of
that time her eyesight would be re-
stored, is disappointed that the mira
Gle she expected did not materialize
at the expiration Of her fast, she Is
still buoyed up by the sublime hope
that the Lord in his wisdom has seer
ft to withhold the light from her
eyes for a longer period and that she
will eventually enjoy the f~ullness of
the promise she says was made
through a strange revelation a few
days ago.
Those who believed with Miss Ship
ley were much disappointed, while the

TONG TREATY
is IN DANGER
Chinese Wars May Follow
Opium Raids.

New York, Feb. THAT the recent
raids of Chinese opium dens here win
be followed by a resumption of ths
war between the -Four Brothers and
the On Leongs is practically assured,
according to gossip In Chinatown. The
recently sealed treaty OF peace between
the two clans Will be broken at the
end of the New Years festival, now
being celebrated.
This ss because the wealthy and In
fuential members of the On Leong
tong believe that Charley Boston's
part in the secret opium traffic WAS
betrayed to the customs authorities by
the Four Brothers clan and that the
present investigation was thereby in
stftuted.
Not only was Charley Boston fn-
volved In the betrayal, so 1t was learn
ed from a trustworthy source, but the
tipping Off Of the federal authorities
was due to ~jealousies between the
members of an opium ring because
Boston had presumed to dictate in the
circle of the Illicit trafickers on ac-
count Of his boasted pull with certain
police officials In this and other cities
and he insisted in taking to himself
the major portion of the retail trade
In the drug in New York city.
This was more than a month age
and just before two members of tha
Chinese embassy In Washington came
here and had representatives Of thu
On Leong tong and -Four Brothers So
ciety sign an eternal peace treaty.
II the struggle between the tongs n
renewed 1t will be bitter. for the -Four
Brothers society is believed to be out
to secure a hand in the opium busI-
ness. once having displaced Charley
Boston and his majority. The trade
in the drug brings far richer fruits
than did the old gambling privilege,
which used to be the perpetual cause
of war between the On Leongs and the
Hip Sing tong.
Charley Boston appeared before
Commissioner Shields to answer to the
charge of keeping smuggled opium.
which had been sworn to by Acting
Deputy Surveyor Isaac Harris. Bali
was set at $1,000, which was paid. and
Feb. G was set as the date for the
hearing.

arm of the Shrewsbury river at Long
Branch.
Two plans have been proposed in
regard to bridges. One is to give
the bridges an altitude of forty feet
and where this could not be done to
construct drawbridges. The other Is
to give the bridges a clearance of
only twenty feet. this being the
cheaper way as fewer drawbridges
would be necessary. But the latter
height would greatly restrict the
size of the craft that could use the
canal.
All the figures that have been
given have been based on the suppo-
sition that the contract for the en-
tire improvement be granted at
once, as a piecemeal system would
greatly increase the total expendi-
ture.
This canal Is proposed as a con-
tinuation of the work the state Is
now doing In dredging a s~ix-foot
waterway from Cape May northward
toward Bay Head. Should all that
is planned be accomplished an In
land waterway for the entire length
of the coast would be at the disposal
of light craft. The inland water
way would be about IT'S miles in
length and extend practically from
Sandy Hook to Cape May. The task
as far as Bay Head Is much simpler
than would be the canal from that
point. Below Bay Head there Is a
continuation of streams and all that
Is necessary is to dredge these.
