His work at the St. Paul's Hospital was a memorial in itself, and this labour, Dr. Strahan explained, friends had de cided to carry on in perpetuity by the endowment of a bed in the in- stitution.

A night chase in the harbour by Revenue Officers, tracking suspect ed opfum smugglers, was related at the Central Magistracy yester day afternoon, when seven Chinese were charged, on remand, in con- nexion with the seizure of a huge quantity of opium. One of the men | charged is'a Revenue Officer, ". |

Prosecuting, Mr. B. MacFayden, assistant Superintendent of the Imports, and Exports Office stated: "I believe the facts of this case have already been outlined. The Beizure was made in the harbour on the night of the 2nd-3rd. A large amount, two packages of The ceremony was a simple one.and young children.

the sampan to the motor-boat. Thus was involved the respon- sibility of all the defendants, na they were all in the motor-boat when seized.

"The simpan, I maintain, was one which originally took delivery of the oplum (I shall bring evi- dence to substantiate this). The first defendant, who is Revenue Officer No. 62, has claimed that he made, the seizure in the course of his duty, but I shall bring evidence to prove that there was such a wide disparity between what his duty was in cases of this nature and what he actually did that night, that the only conclusion possible to draw is that he was not intending to make a seizure in a proper or legal manner."

Contrary to Regulations. Chief Preventive Officer Clark stated that Departmental Orders were that if a Chinese Revenue Officer received information that opium was being moved, or that there was opium in a sampan in the harbour, he was to report to one of the Assistant Superinten dents or failing them, to witness himself. The first defendant did not so report.

Therefore the following letter; which the proprietors of Baby's Own Tablets have received from Mrs. A. E. Bovyer, matron of the Nanarens. Industrial Orphanage, Chinkiang, China, will be of vital interest to all parents with babes

"We are very grateful for Baby's Own Tablets which we are using with excellent results among the children of our Orphanage. Not only are we finding the Tablets of great value for the prevention and correction of the children's stomach and bowel ailments, and to keep them clear of worms, but they have the additional advantage of being easy to administer be cause they are pleasant in ap- pearance and taste. Even those children who are afraid to take ordinary medicine not only do not fear Baby's Own Tablets but actually seem to want to take them, which, of course, makes the task of the nurse much easier than it otherwise would be.

Yours sincerely (signed) (Mrs.) A. E. Bovyer.” Mrs. Bovyer has written this letter quite disinterestedly
