As usual, the Broadway restaurants mill be the scenes of the most hilar lous greetings to the infant 1909. To thus welcome the New Year in any of the popular resorts is an expensive pleasure. For a fee of from 50, according to the would-bi to 1means, a table is reserved for guest's him and his party. Often this reservation was made in July or August, because every year the rush for tables on the night of December II grows greater. And, as if hiring a place to sit were not enough, most of the big places bave a rule that nothing in the way of drinks shall be sold except "wine which, in the patois of 4 2d street and Its vicinity means always chamIndeed, some proprietors go . pagne. even further and stipulate that nothing leas than a quart may be bought.

There is one feature of New Yorks New Years eve that many a visitor from out of town has anticipated. It Is the churchbell chimes, especially those of Trinity, ringing out over the silent1 graveyard and along the reaches of Wall street and lower Broadway. And while the street crowds hail the midnight bells with clamor, the patrons of some of the restaurants have a pretty custom that has grown up through the years. Just as the hands of the clock are within a moment of overlapping all the lights in the restaurants are turned out. The orchestras stop playing. Everybody keeps silence. Then with the flashing forth of the lights once more everybody knows that the new year la a fact, and a toast is drunk standing.

Distinguished from many nations are here delegates to take part In the international today conference atwhlch the powers are to fix upon the details for the cessation of the cultivation of opium within their territories in order to assist China In the suppression of the use of opium among the Chinese people. The Chinese delegates are practical, men, one of them being an general of Singapore, one a doctor educated abroad, and one a railway director well qualified to undertake preparatory work. It Is expert ed that the Chjnese government will hereafter be represented by an official of high rank, proportionate to the Importance of this national question. Missionary doctors continue to report a large increase In the .sale of remedies, which, containing morphia, produce results worse than opium smoking. It is evidently desirable that effective measures should be taken by the Chinese government to prevent the illicit Importation and aale of morphia, and especially la it desirable that Japan, following tho example of other nations.

Ills Information as to ths white users of opium Is not as definite on account of the great difficulty iu locating them. Dr. Wright declares there has been a steady Increase In the Importation of opium Into the United States since 1872, though there was a larger Chinese population then than now and the laws against ita importation were not so severs. The Importation of the crude product In the past five years has Increased 1,000,000 pounds, he says. The Chinese physicians, he declares, are loaders In the effort to find a cure for the opium habit. They are now using a cure discovered not long ago in Shanghai, and they claim for it success. The new cure le being teeted officially In Ne wTork.
