The Cigarette in China.

The Cigarette in China.
The following is an interesting
article taken from the fourth annu-
al Medical Missionary Conference,
held at the Battle Creek Ssnitarium,
and is from the pen of the presl-
dent of the China w. G. T. u,
Mrs. Chauncey Goodrich of Pekin.
This is good material for a co-ope-
rative meeting with missionary So
cieties:
THE magnificent stand that the Chi
nese nation has taken to rid itself
of opium is well known. 1t was most
thrilling year ago this winter
when mass meetings were being
held in Pekin that action might be
taken, on the one hand to urge their
own government not to make new
treaty with England binding China
for seven years longer to the impor-
tation of opium from India; and on
the other hand to petition the Brit
ish government to return to China
her sovereign rights, SO that she
might at once cease to import
opium, and make it easier to de-,
mand that the growth of the poppy
and sale of the drug should cease,
to hear again and again the cry
that, The Christians of England
are on our side" Up to date some
of the provinces have gone republi-
can, some independent. This means
that the whole question of the
growth of the poppy and the sale of
opium must again come up.
What was easy to do in an auto
cratic government is far more diff.
cult to do in a republican form of
government, and it is with grave
apprehension one reads of the re-
planting of the poppy in the great
and magnificent province Of Sze-
chuan, where it was so widely cul-
tivated and so widely used, but
where the British attache, Sir Alex
ander Hoxie, after most careful in
vestigation for the British govern
ment, said it was practically not
grown at all.
While working to aid the ladies'
of Pekin, some of them women of
high rank, in their crusade against
opium, the most touching instances
of the terrible evil wrought by this
drug came to my notice, but none
more 50 than the testimony sent me
from the young women of the under
world, that nine-tenths of them had
been sold by their relatives for the
sake of obtaining opium to satisfy
their craving, and SO they were in
"a shoreless sea, and there was no
possibility of helping them," but
to save their sisters they dared beg
that opium be banished from
China.
10 say nothing of the great
economic loss to China through
opium.
The Morals of a Nation.
are gone if opium is widely used.
Ever since the crusade against OPT
um has commenced, the sale of
morphia and the hypodermic needle
has gone on apace, although great
efforts have been made to prevent
this.
Up to the year 1900 many men
and women were given to the smok.
ing of tobacco, but as the bowl of
the ordinary pipe used was so very
small, the evil effect was slight; but
since 1900, tobacco companies have
awakened to the idea that China
was an excellent field for the sale of
cigarettes, and SO no stone has been
left unturned to introduce them in
to the country. Their agents have
gone into the most remote Places of
the most distant provinces as well
as those bordering on the coast.
The walls of cities, villages, and
even hamlets are covered with large

Personal recollection i'm only few
instances can reach back to the pc
riod when citizens of the village turn
ed with their drinking water pals
and horse buckets 10 defend the prop
erty of their neighbOr, when the only
water obtainable was in the river or
i'm private wells and il was a slow
and laboriOus process of bringing wa
ter into contact with the flames. Nor
are there many now alive who can
recall the first organized resistance to
fire in the formation of bucket bril-
sade
For these details the written his
tory of the city must be consulted,
but communication from mouth TO
ear has made current the stories %
the struggles of the first settlers ana
the eXpedients TeSOrted 10 10 save
their homes and their places OF bus
mess. They tell OF the dread alarm
I'm the night. of the frenzied shouts
of the villagers TO arouse their neigh
bors. OF the marshaling OF the small
force of fighters and their almost
hopeless fight. They tell of the daring
OF the young men. the feeble efforts
OF the aged and the heroism OF the
woman. and they givc pictures OF
roofs adjoining the fire covered with
saturated rag carpets and bed cloth

OF the pitiful little pile OF household
effects saved from the Charred and
smoking ruins of the house.
In later years the court house bell
rang the wild alarm. its volume aug
mented by the hre bell at the fac
tories on the west race. and there
were few people living So far away
from the civic center as TO be beyond
the zone OF its sound. The old bell,
now silent but for the tolling OF the
hours and ringing the curfew. hangs
IN its belfry in dignitied retirement
full of honors and haloed with mem
cries.
il was a labor OF love and of pa
triotic duty the members OF the old
bucket brigade performed, and IN
these they found sole compensation
for their services until in the graft
tude OF its heart the community
granted the volunteers release from
their poll taxes and 20 a certain
amount on theirs property tax. This
means OF rewarding the volunteer
firemen was continued until the es-
tablishment of the paid department.

tersections and eventually 80 of these
were put in. They were deep enough
10 draw their water from seepage and
six feet in diameter, and il was the
boast Of the town that a steam fire
engine could not perceptibly lower
the water. Then came the period OF
steam fire engines. The first was
purchased in 1868 and the company
that operated is was known as Young
Hoosier, No. :.
Previous to tits, in 1867. a citizens
committee was appointed by the city
council to report the best means Of
fire protection adaptable TO South
Bend. The appointment OF this com
mittee foreshadowed the construc-
ton Of water works and the estab-
lishment OF a paid fire department
some years later. The water works
were constructed in 1873, the stand
pipe system being adopted. The
standpipe system is still in use. but
the larger part of the service is sup
piled by direct pressure as set forth
in the instructive article on the city

where in this issue.

hose co panies, one steam fire en-
CINE drawn by horses and one hook
and ladder company. All OF these
companies were equipped with the
best apparatus in the market and il
was unhesitatingly said of them at
the time that they rendered better
service than many paid departments.
They had comfortable houses and
club rooms and attracted TO their
membership the best young men OF
the city. The excellence and COM

on different occasions two military
men were at the head Of the volun-
teer force.
Capt Edwin Near was the first
chief Of the organized and equipped
volunteer fire department, and he
was succeeded by the late Col Joseph
Turnock. Both were soldiers in
spirit and by experience and disci-
plinarians Of the true military type and
they made OF the unframed men Of
the department what the drill masters
OF the nation made Of the volunteer
soldiers, a high class fighting force.

unteer department IS retained today

SPEAKER OF HOUSE UNABLE TO
FILL LECTURE DATES
ON TIME

Secretary LeNoir of the Y. M. G.
A. has received word that it will be
for Champ Clark to come
to Las Vegas on November s, as ad-
vertised in the lyceum course. Mr..
Clark, however, has said that if it is
possible he will try to fill his south
western dates during the Christmas
holidays
The unexpectedly long session Of
congress is responsible for this post
ponment. In the event OF MI. Clarks
inability to fill his oates the Ridpath
bureau has offered the following list
Of men to select from as his substi-
tute: Henry Lane Wilson, ex-ambassa-
dor to Mexico; Governor McGovern of
Wisconsin, James Garfield, ex-secre-
tary of the interior; Dr. Gunsaulus,
the noted Chicago divine; former Gov
ernor stubbs Of Kansas, and Dr.
Woods Hutchinson, the well known
writer-lecturer.
Neither the Y. M G A. or the Rid
path bureau can be held responsible
for the postponement Of the Clari
date. Had congress adjourned at the
end Of September, as many thought i
would. there would not have been any
question of Mr.. Clark filling his dates
Not only will this section Of the coun
try suffer because of the long-windet
session Of the solons, but the north

splendid film, made decided hit in
Las Vegas last night, when shown at
the local theaters and it will be
commented on just as favorably to-
night by those who witness its pre-

it would have pleased Las Vegans for
its merit alone, for the picture with
out doubt is a masterpiece in both
plot and action, Because of its local
significance it was the more enjoy
able.
The scenery shown in the picture
pleased every Las vegan who saw it.
The scenes taken at the Normal Uni
versity, the Charles Ilfeld residence
and in the mountains north of the
city all fitted well into the produc-
ton and in the opinion of some peo-
pie made the work better than ever.
