w
rCOKBKSrOJIEEJICI Or TUB DISPATCH.
LOXDOU, June 15. It was but a few
years ago that opium smoking in London
was a vice known only to the very few in
the Vest End, or to the lowest slums of
Katclifle highway or "Whitecbapel in the
East End. People read about it and talked
about it, but few practiced it, and those who
took the drug at all took it in pills, and did
not "hit the pipe." But within the last few
years this has all chanced, and not only
have opium joints increased in the East
End, but the pernicious habit has taken
root in the aristocratic quarters of the West
End, and, judging lrom what I saw the
other evening, it will have taken such a
hold upon its votaries that all the crusades
in the world will fill to much more than
mitigate the evil. They say that once an
opium fiend always an opium fiend, and
that the craving lor the drug is greater than
for drink.
The effects of opium are, I think, worse,
if possible, than the effects of drink. The
latter is bad enough in all conscience, but I
have seen some awful sights among opium
smokers. Strange to say, however, I can
not call to mind any very bad subjects
amongst what I may term 'high class hitters
of the pipe.'
THE SWXIXS AS SMOKEES.
I have been round the joints in San Fran
cisco, Chicago. New York, and other large
cities, as well as in China, and in the low
down joints I have seen sights that it wonld
.require the pen of Zola to depict, but in all
these cities there are as well swell opium
joints, and there the sights are not so bad.
Perhaps the miserable objects one sees
dreaming their lives away in the bunks of
the lower dens, have graduated from the
better places, but I have known of men
Einoking opium for years and being com
paratively free from any evil effects. But
in the long run they say it always masters
either man or woman and they become its
slave.
I had no idea until the other day that
hitting the pipe was ever practiced among
the npper ten in London. How I came to
find it out was through talking to an old
globe trotter like myself at the club the
other evening with reference to (he looks of
young Lord A., a young man who recently
came into his title and vast estates.
"He looks as if he had, been hitting the
pipe," said I; "but I suppose that is an un
known Tice in London."
, A BEGAL OPIUM JOINT.
"Far from it," was the reply. "They
sot only hit the pipe, but do it in a style I
can only characterize as regal. 'Within the
last few vears drinkinr has been voted bad
form with a certain Ret. but as a set-off ther I
have gone in for hitting the pipe. They keep I
it very quiet, but the secrecy of the thing
adds to the zest. Stolen pleasures, yon
Jcnow. The swellest joint in the world was
opened about a month ago not two miles
irom where we are now. I,ord A. there is
one of its chief supporters, and, as you
know him, you ought to get htm to take
you there.
"I certainly will," I replied. Shortly
afterward I fonnd myself in conversation
with young Lord A. There is a peculiar
freemasonry among opium smokers all the
world over, and although personally I have
not "hit the pipe" half a dozen times in my
life, and dislike it rather than -otherwise, I
knew enough of the shibboleth to ingratiate
myself in a very short time with the young
Lord and led him to infer that I was even a
greater fiend than himself. I bemoaned the
want of a good joint in London, which I
bad no sooner done than he volunteered to
take me to what he termed the nearest ap
proach to paradise that there could be.
A SECEET CLUBIIOUSE.
"A few ofjis got together," he said,
"about sir. months ago and took the house
and crounds. We practically rebuilt it,
and it has cost us a pot of money. It is
really a club, and both men and women
members must be balloted for the same as at
any other club. We are awtully particular,
and if I take you there you must give me
your word of honor that you will never re
veal its whereabouts. We are allowed to
bring friends, but only on this condition,
and each nTember is personally responsible
for whoever he introduces, that this secrecy
will be maintained."
I readily gave the required promise, and
in giving this account ot what I saw in the
swellest joint in the world I am in no way
breaking laith, as I do not tell where it is,
and as to the fact ot its existence that is
known to many outsiders.
A cab took us to the corner of S place
and M street, where we dismissed it and
walked the remainder of the way. The
house my guide stopped at was a large one,
"standing in a garden of considerable size.
We rang a bell at the gate and at the door
oi the bouse we knocked, and then Lord A.
pressed an electric button which was hidden
tinder the ledge of the topmost step, and the
existence of which could only be known to
the initiated.
LIKE A GBEAT GREENHOUSE.
The pressinc ot the button was followed
by the door swinging slowly open, and we
found ourselves in a small hallway with
another door barring our progress. Lord
A. pressed a second button and this door
also swung open, and we were admitted to
the club proper. Here we lound three East
Indians, dressed in flowing Oriental robes,
with gold embroidered turbans, and who
bad been summoned by the ringing of the
bell at the outer gate. They bent low as
they salaamed and removed our hats and
coats. I found that we were in a large, cen
tral hall, open to the roof, which was of
glass and of cupola form.
It was really like a large greenhouse and
was full of plants of all descriptions and the
air was heavy with an indescribably sensu
ous ador. From the hall we were conducted
by one of the East Indians to an inner room,
.gorgeously lurnished, but at the same time
not gaudily, and off this were small cabinets,
reminding me of the dressing rooms of a
Turkish bath. These, Lord A. explained,
were private rooms where any smoker who
bo desired it could have complete privacy. I
saw the doors of two only closed and pre
sumed that those were the only ones occu
pied, vv nen in this room X heard
THE SOUNDS OF VOICES,
and my guide led me toward where the
sound came irom, and I soon lound myself
in a large room in which there were at least
CO people orbotn sexs, all in eveningdress.
.Toe ladies were one and all beautifully
dressed and many of them were resplendant
in jewels. Among them I was astonished
to see a well-known CounteBs and . unrlrtv
beauty, about the last person in the world I
should have suspected of 'hitting the pipe.'
Among the men also I saw several whom I
recognized and one I knew well, who seemed
as much astonished to see me as I was to see
him. This room was superbly furnished in
the Moorish style, but the carpet was a thick
Persian. All over the room were settees on
most of which a smoker was reclining al
thouxhcre were one or two groups com-
vpoieCijfmen and women conversing in a
jinbdHW tone.
3p
sge air tu xiaea wjijnejjiea.Tr, drowsy
smell ot opium, and many of those lying on
the lounges seemed to be well on their way
to the opium smoker's paradise. Lord A.
and I were conduoted by the same Oriental
as had conducted us through the rm" to
two settees Ivinc alongside of eaoh other,
and he then'brought us the usual 'lay out
of pipe, and bowl, and brazier, with the lit
tle pea-like balls of opium. I was far too
INTEEESTED IN TVATCHINO
the various 'fiends' at work to care much
for the pipe, but I made a semblance of
smoking soas not to attract too much at
tention. Lord A., on the other band, was
soon hard at work, and in a very short time
the look in his eyes told me that his thoughts
were far away from the queer scenes around
him. I was struck by one beautiful girl
lying fight opposite. She couldn't have
been more than 20, if she were that, who was
in full evening dress as if she had just come
lrom a ball. She smoked pipe after pipe
of opium, and it was not until the filth or
sixth that the drug seemed to affect her at
all. I found afterward that she was the
young Marchioness B., about whose beauty
all London was raving, and whose husband
was then yachting in the Mediterranean.
She is a confirmed opium fiend. I wonder
how many moons it will be before that
beauty is a thing of the past, unless happily
in the meantime her eyes are opened to the
dangers of the road she is traveling.
A man a few couches irom where I lay
was a well known literateur, and whose
past and present works give promise of
something far better. Perhaps like some
other men I know of, he thinks he writes
better in the meantime under the 'infloo
ence. ALIi TBOMINEITT PEOPLE.
There was hardly any, if a single man or
woman, in that room who was not well
known in society, and my eyes were indeed
opened to the spread of opium smoking in
London. "When we had been there nearly
an hour, and I was beginning insensibly to
dose ;off, I was roused by the low tones of
an organ exquisitely softly played. The
player, whoever he or she was, for I could
not see either organ or player, used the vox
hnmana stop with telling effect. The organ
ist began with a gentle lullaby and then
broke off into that exquisite air on the
organ, "The Eose That Blooms so Soltly."
This had tne effect of silencing all conversa
tion and had the further effect of sending
me off to sleep. How long I slept I know
not, but I was awakened by Lord A. wno
informed me that it was time to go and on
looking round I found we were almost the
sole occupants of the room.
I rose and we went out together into the
cool air of a bright summer morning. The
birds were singing oh so sweetly in Nthe
garden of the opium joint, and I could
hardly realize that all I had seen was not a
dream. But, alas lor the morality of Lon
don 1 it was but too true.
THE CONVENTION OF TUENEB SOCIETIES.
This Nnmerona and Thrifty Organization
Now In Session nt Gotham.
Xeyt Yobk, June 22. The fourteenth
annual convention of the North American
Turner Bunds met this morning in Central
Turn Hall and began formal business.
William Pfafender, of New trim, Minn.,
was temporary Chairman and the Secretary
pro lem was Victor L. Berger, of Milwau
kee. The committee reported that 724 dele
gates, representing S6 States and districts,
had handed in their credentials. President
Hugo Muench delivered the opening ad
dress. He congratulated the -organization
on its rapid growth. They controlled a
greater social and political power he said
than any other organization in the United
States. Ho other civil body had furnished
so many able-bodied soldiers, during
the late war. The work of organizing the
convention was then entered into. Chicago
leads in the number of votes, having 102 of
a total ot 7JU. The annual report showed a
roll call of 35,912 members, with property
amounting to 54,774,221, and the indebted-
ness $2,114,038.
The following board of officers were
elected for the present convention: Hein
rieh Brawn, 'St .Louis, -President; Henry
Metzner, New York, Vice President; Victor
L. Berger, Milwaukee, First Secretary;
John Hohl. Pittsburg. Pa,, and Carl H.
Guntber, Lawrence, Mass., Assistant Sec
retaries. In the evening an entertainment was
given.
THE SCALE WILL BE SIGNED.

Yonncalown Mills,
rsrsexu. telegram to the dibpatch.i
YouNGSTOvrar, June 22. There is no
probability of a shut-down hereot the roll
ing mills on July 1 by reason of the scale
question. The sentiment among the manu
facturers is that if there are no changes in
the 'scale presented aside from those re
ported, that it will be accepted. While
there is no boom in orders at any of the
mills, the volume is sufficient to keep run
nine. The extensive plant of Brown, Bonnell &
Co., which is to be sold on July 22, will
probably Bhut down July 1 and resume
operations upon the confirmation ot the sale.
The purchasers will doubtless be iron manu
facturers of the Mahoning Valley.
THE TE0UBLE TTfts BEEN ADJUSTED.

rSFXCIAX. TELtOKAM TO TUB DISPA.TCH.I
Latbobe, June 22. The trouble at the
Gallitziu Coal and Coke Company's mine is
adjusted amicably, after Messrs. Mitchell
and Laughlin met Messrs. TobinandQuinn,
the represetatives of the miners. The condi
tions under which the difficulty was settled
are as follows: That the company take
back the two men discharged and pay the
cokeworkers the extra amount for drawing
coke since last December, and that the
miners agree in turn to let the company
give the mining machine "iron man" one
month's trial, iu order to prove its merits or
demerits. j
?3 is understood that the men and com
pany agree to settle all ditferences in the
future by arbitration.

THE AUTHOR OF
"STAM FAST,
CRAIG-K0YST0JT
Mr. William Black.
Mr. WILLIAM BLACK, the author of "A
Princess of Thule," "Sunrise," ett, was born a
little short of 50 years ago, in Glasgow. His
youthful ambition was to become an artist, but
eventually he drifted into journalism, of which
he may still be considered a distinguished and
successful representative. He located himself
in London in 1861. Asa newspaper representa
tive be went through the Frussla-Ausirian War
of 186a "In Silk Attire," produced in 1869,
dealt with peasant life in the Black Forest. "Kil
meny,""The Monarch of Mincing Lane" and "A,
Daughter of B etb," followed in the order named
and ran thronph many editions. Next came
"The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton,"wbich
literally described a drivim; excursion the
author made from London to Edinburgh, with
a thread of fiction interwoven. It is said that
a good many people. Americans chiefly, have
adopted this plan of exploring the English
counties, and have taken these "Adventures"
as a sort of guide book. A glance through tbe
author's list ot published works reveals that his
later stories appeared in the following sequence:
"A Princess of Thule," "The Maid of Kileena,"
"Three Feathers," "Madcap Violet," "Green
Pastures and Piccadilly," "Macleod of Dare,"
"Wbite Wings: A Yacbting Romance," "Sun
rise: A Story of the Times," "That Beautiful
Wretch," "Shandon Bells," "White Heather,"
"The Wise Women of Iverness," "Sabina
Zembra," "In Far Lochaber."
"STAND FAST,
CRAIG-R0YST0N,"
Wil 1 prove to be as clever and as successful
as any of the works preceding it from the
same gifted source.
POINTS OF TBE NEW SERIAL,
Publication of which begins in The Dispatch
ON
SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1890.
Tbe heroine is a yonng American girl of
Scotch descent, who has traveled much and who
has a charming simplicity and independence of
character.
The story is full of interest and the move
ment is steady and continuous. Tbe perusal of
the opening chapters gives promise of same
surprising situations in the near future. Tbe
hero is a young fellow of means, with brUUant
prospects In the political world; his father Is a
millionaire with socialistic theories.
The love story which the author has to tell is
of a most original kind, and requires for its
elaboration several interesting personages. In
cluding a family of Americans audi several
fashionable notabilities in London.
The political characters introduced can al
most be recognized as counterparts of people
cow living. We have copious references in the
mouth of an old Scotch poet to tbe claims of
Scotland in song and story, and as a back
ground we have fashionable life in Mayfair, at
Henley and Brighton, labor and co-operative
congresses in various parts of the country, and
a characteristic leader of the masses in a
North Country man named Ogden. "Stand
Fast, Craig-Roys ton" possesses a powerful and
exciting nlot, and will appeal strongly to all
classes of readers.
