The re ported plot to blow up one or more of the ships of the Atlantic fleet at Rio Janlero is regarded at the White House as a repetition of one of many schemes which is constantly being presented to" the secret service by persons who claim to possess infor mation which they are willing to part with for a consideration. No cred ence is given here to the existence of an actual plot. It is understood that the Information originated in Pari3 from which point it was communi cated to the secret service bureau and through that medium to Admiral Evans and the authorities in South American countries.

Officer Condron with five deputies, accompanied by Assistant District Attorney Farrln, made a raid on Marshfleld's Chinatown last Satur day night in an attempt to catch about sixteen "hop fiends" who are Bald to have been "hitting the pipe" iu Jim Blng's establishment on Sec ond street between Third and A streets. They found a lot of pipes and other "dope," but the birds had flown, leaving only a couple of ne groes, one of them named Jim Dlggs, who were put in the city bastile. Tho coup had been planned for several days, but the inmates of the place had evidently become sus picious and made their escape before the doors of the Chinaman's place wero broken in. The raid com menced at 10 o'clock and all was quiet until Officer Condron attempt ed to open the door, which was barred. Ho had his deputies sta tioned around In the various spots and as he tried to open the door.a dog belonging to Mrs. Lee Sing, a relative of tho Chinese proprietor, made a vicious attack upon him. He drew his gun and killed the animal, and the door of the place was then broken in, when it was found that the smokers had decamped by some means which have mystified the of ficers. A general melee commenced when the officer s.nd his deputies entered the place, and Jim Dlggs is said to have rushed at one of the deputies with a knife, while another old negro flourished a razor. The ne groes were placed -under arrest, but the pipes and othe rmaterials which had been used by the "fiends" were left in the place at the advice of At torney Farrin, who states that there is no law providing for the confis cation of such property. A raid made nearly two years ago by Mar shal Carter in the same place result ed in the finding of a lot of opium pipes, but these were later returned to the Chinaman, who was fined be cause he had white people smoking in the place. The raid last Saturday night was for the purpose of catching a number of white pepple "hitting the pipe,' for which there is a heavy fine. Of ficer Condron says he has Informa tion to the effect that fifteen men and one white woman are in the habit of filling up on "dope"' in this place, and he makes the startling announce ment that some -well known citizens of the city are among the number, which is composed of married and single men. Judging from tho Inside news he has received about the place, there would have been great surprise In the city over the people who would have been arrested had they not made their escape, It Is alleged that "dope" fiends in Marshficld are qulto numerous and that among them are young and elderly people well known in the city. A couple of negro women wero also found in tho place last Saturday and one of them had been notified to leave the city some time ago. Sho was again notified to make herself scarce last Saturday night and re viled the officer in horrible terms. The negroes In the Jain wero also sent out of towr, as ono of them, especially, is co.3idered a desperate character. Jim Ding visited Marshal Carter yesterday and demanded that the dog tax, which had been paid to the of ficer by his relatlvo on Saturday noon, be refunded because the dog had been killed shortly afterward. It Is probable that tho tax will be returned. POWERLESS ELECTRIC FOB AGAIN TELLS AND LIGHTLESS LIGHTS PITIFUL TALE The electric lights and power In Tho Times plant went entirely out of commission beforo ten o'clock thlB morning and the paper has been en tirely without service the remainder of tho day. This will in a measure serve as an explanation of the lack of late local and general- news. Be ing without electric juice and un able to operate the machines with the juice from the lemon that the Coos Bay Gas &. Electric Company seeks to hand the public of Coos Bay, It has been with much difficulty that the paper was Issued at all. The experience of Thb Times only serves to Illustrate the unreliability and out-of-date service this concern is 'attempting to foist upon tho pub lic. How long will the public stand for such service and such treatment by this wholly Indifferent and Incom petent corporation? SELL GIRLS Pretty Gills Bought by Men From Cities Up to $250, Plain Ones nt $15. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 9. In Kamyshin and Tsarltsin, good sized towns on the Volga "river, Russia, there have been four recent sales of marriageable girls by their fathers. Buyers were present in great num bers and the competition was brisk. At Kamyshin, at 7 o'clock one morning, a large crowd gathered in a field outside tho town. Forty girls came with their fathers or other responsible relatives. There wero two or three hundred well to do looking' men from various Volga districts, a sprinkling of others who looked like prosperous Moscow merchants, and several sallow In dividuals who looked like prosperous Moscow Russians, but speaking the language fluently. Each kinsman led forward his "goods" and expatiated on her ad mirable qualities, pointing out all her charms, Including ber muscles. One after another was knocked down to the scented, jeweled men from foreign lands. The others, es pecially the muscular sort, were tak en by men of the neighborhood for wives. The price of a pretty girl of a bet ter grade family fluctuated between $175 and $150. and one went as high as $275. But tho average was $50, and one miserable specimen was knocked down to a strolling trader for $15. RULES FOR I. HENPECKED Snjs Don't Be ft Mollycoddle, But bo Kind, Sympathetic ami Insistent.

I work hard all day and when I get home at night I find my wife In a rocker reading a novel. The moment I get in sho says: " 'Bill, old chap, get busy. Get to work and fix things up.' "At first I didn't make a kick, but when I did sho said that all good husbands, did tho housework. "At first I didn't mind drying the dishes at night, but when she com mands mo to scrub tho floor and make up tho beds " By this time tho court was in a tittor. "Why do you do it?" asked tho court. "Why not be a man?" "Well, judge," replied tho young man, "my wife said she would leave me if I didn't. Sho said that all good husbands helped out. "Sometimes my mother-in-law comes to the house and bosses me. She says scrubbing is good oxercise. I'm of the opinion I got enough ev ercise at my work." "Why do you submit to it?" asked tho court. "I don't want my wife to leave mo. "You have my greatest sympa'thy," said the magistrate, who is a bach elor. He then handed out the ad vice printed above. "Thanks, judge," said Davis. "I'll do as you say." EVELYN THAW RECITES IIERd TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH STANFORD WHITE. Story is Told Exactly ns Related ln Court a Year Ago Attorney Jerome Objects But Is Not Sustained.
