OPIUM SCANDAL
INVOLVE YANKS
Brought To Light By Raid of
Chinese Police at
Peiping
MANY WE'RE ARRESTED

Peiping.-A raid on the Hotel
Middle Kingdom staged by Chinese
police, troops and japanese troops,
In which score or more Chinese
and Koreans were arrested for drug
dealing, served to draw foreign at
tention to the use of opium in
Peiping. The normal American res
ident, while aware that the drug can
be had easily, generally lets it go at
that.
However, in the discussion, it ap-
peared that young Americans, girls
as well as boys, who came to China
for few weeks have begun to take
a whirl with the opium pipe. These
youths bear names very often of
well-known and highly respected
American families and their actions
decidedly shock the American COM
munity of Peiping.
In some cases they request Chi
nese servants to provide the drug
and pipes. The former in disgust
have been known to quit rather
than oblige. One American resident
was dragged into the opium scan
dial unwittingly when the police dis
covered that the servants quarters
housed an opium salesroom.
Opium figures very largely in the
news from almost every section of
China. Officials are either honest
~ endeavoring to suppress the drug
or else they are conniying in its dis
tribution. At Hangchow four high
officials were executed for dealing
in the nefarious trade.
Kaifeng, capital of Honan prov
ince, celebrated Opium Prohibition
day when the city was festooned
with flags and a mass meeting held
presided over by the governor.
The opium prohibition inspector
reported that peoples were
still being grown in so counties,
but a systematic campaign was be-
ing waged to end such production.
He asked for six years In which to
completely stamp out opium grow
ing, sales, and smoking within the
province. He is already enforcing
his plan by sending out soldiers who
lop off the poppy flowers with their
big swords as their rifles swing from
the other shoulder.

World Business Is
Declared on Upturn

Washington. - An upturn In

joyed in the United States IN
der the blue eagle Of the NRA, is
being felt throughout the world.
According to officials Of the De
partment Of Commerce millions
Of workers are returning to en-
ployment in industries in many
countries. Wages, according to
reports to the department, are
the highest in years.
Since last winter more than
100000 employees have re-
turned to work. it has been esti-
mated. Unemployment in the
United States at present has
been placed at 100000. Since
winter 100000 have found Jobs
in this country.
The total Of French unem-
ployed, $4,000, showed a sharp
decline against a large increase
in 1892. In Italy unemployment
at the end Of April was 1,0G9. 900,
about $4,000 more than in April,
1892. but the decline from the
January high was marked.
German unemployment at the
end Of May, 5.252.OOO, was Is per
cent under January and 6 per
cent under May, 1892. British IN
employment. 2.742.OOO. was z per
cent under January and 8 per
cent under May. 1882.
On the basis Of figures com
piled By the League Of Nations,
industrial output has risen along
with employment.

Claudius in 30 A. D.
The Pretestatus catacombs were
the object of great devotion of the
faithful until the coming of the
Dark ages and the destruction of
Rome at the hands of the barba-
rians. They then fell into decay
and disuse as places of veneration.
Landslides and the vandalism of
the savage conquerors of Rome did
their work with these early monu-
ments of Christianity, and the price
of neglect and the sacking of the
barbarians was paid for in rified
tombs and ruined frescoes.
Even now, after all these CEN
turtles, there are wall pictures in
these catacombs of the Second,
Third and Fourth centuries which
those who have seen them describe
as admirable examples of early
Christian art.
Much still remains to be done. for
the Psychologists are not yet quite
certain If they have reached the
lowest level of the galleries. The
explorations Though brought to
point which win shortly permit
people to visit them) will be slowly
continued for some time yet In the
hope that further interesting dis
coveries may be made.

and it is perused today in the

Ashasueras Of Ezra, was on the
Persian throne. Having deposed
his Queen Vashti for disobedience,

maiden named Esther, not know

her his queen. This brought her
uncle Mordecai to the Persian cap

pie and to be near his niece. Ha-

OLD
CATACOMBS
Commission Named BY Pope
Is Hard At Work Ex-
cavating For Facts
AIDED BY RECORD S

Rome.-A third important series
Of catacombs, known as the Pre-
testatus catacombs, will shortly be
added to the well-known early
Christian underground cemeteries
of St. Calixtus and St. Sebastian
on the Appian Way just outside
Rome.
The pontifical commission of
Christian archaeology is directing the
operations of the workmen engaged
in exploring and excavating this I'M
foreground treasure house of early
Christian art and history.
Pretestatus, who gave his name
to the catacombs, was, it is thought,
an early Christian martyr, though
some psychologists allege he was
only the Roman landlord of the
ground where the catacomb was
built. At any rate, the existence
of these long underground galleries
and tunnels, winding for more than
a mile altogether, under the APP
plan Way, has been known for Gen.
turtles. Various attempts at explor-
alton and Identification were made
from time to time, notably by Pom
ponio Leto in the Fifteenth CEN
fury and again by the celebrated
archeologist G. B. De Ossi in the
early Nineteenth century.
Treaty Aids Work.
1t has remained for the archeol-
ologists of 1893 to bring the work
to conclusion. The thorough ex-
plorations of the countless early
Christian tombs is really one of /
the results of the Lateran treaty be-
tween Italy and the Holy See and
the concordat which gave the right
in the catacombs to the pope.
While the disagreement between the
church and state existed in Italy,
1t was to nobody's interest to or
der a thorough exploration of these
interesting catacombs since the
property in them was a matter of
dispute.
The remains of early martyrs of
the early church are believed to be
in these catacombs of Pretestatus,
including those of SITS. Urban, Zeno,
Quirinus, Tiburtius, Valerian, and
Maximus.
Records show that these early |
saints of the church were venerated |
here as far back as the Fourth |
century. st. Januarius, patron saint
of Naples, is also connected with
these catacombs, and was venerated |
locally. St. Urban was the bishop |
of whom 1t is related in the legend |
of st. Cecilia, that she willed him
all her belongings in trust for the
church before going to her martyrs
death.
Object of Devotion.
SITS. Tiburtius and Valerian are /
also named in the acts of martyr |
dom of st. Cecilia, while st. Zeno
Is believed to have persisted during
the persecution of the Emperor
