first lien on said estate, subject however, to the ap-
proval of said courts and whereby he states that said

ENOUGH TO KILL FIVE MEN.
Il Man Who Wants to Eat Five Ounces of
Opium Each Day.
New York Star.

4 Man Who Wants to Eat Five Ounces of
Opium Each Day.
New York STAR
"Opium! opium for heavens sake give me
opium!'' cried poor fellow in one of the
wards of ST. Vincent's hospital last night.
The doctors and Sisters of Mercy who sur
rounded him kindly but firmly refused to
give him what he wanted. They substituted
mild narcotic, which mitigated, but did not
stop the mans cravings. The man who was
begging so piteously for the drug was Thomas
Francis, once well-known baseball player,
and formerly pitcher for the old Atlantic
club. He had been sent to the hospital from
the Ninth precinct police station, to which
last he had come as prisoner, having been
caught by Mr.. Henry Van Buskirk, of No.
2l Eighth avenue, stealing some crockery
from the kitchen.
In the station house Francis said that he
had stolen the crockery, intending to sell it
to get money to buy opium. He was put
into cell, but he had not been there long
before he began to rave like maniac. The
police surgeon was called, and he found the
prisoner trembling like an aspen leaf, and
suffering from extreme nervousness. The
man was so seriously i'll that it was resolved
to send him to the hospital. It required the
united efforts of two strong men to hold him
in the ambulance on the way, however, and
in his paroxysms he bit the hand of one of
the surgeons. he struggled when being car
| ried up the steps at the porch, and fought
| when taken into the ward.
In one of his more rational moments he
gave the doctors brief account of his ex-
perience as an opium eater. He said that
! while playing match game of base ball
several years ago he was hit in the side with
| ball, which came flying through the air at
a terrible speed. Two of his ribs were
broken and he was injured internally. The
physicians who attended him gave him small
doses of opium to alay the pain and secure
| him sleep at night. The result was that
Francis acquired taste for the drug. It
was not long before he required an ounce of
fluid extract of opium daily. The habit
grew upon him rapidly, and at last the large
quantity of five ounces was required each
day-from one-haf to one ounce being
enough to kill an ordinary man. He made
desperate efforts to escape from the habit,
but in vain.
Francis is a member of respectable fam
ily in Brooklyn. His opium habit incapaci-
tated him for business, and his friends re-
fused to give him money to purchase the
drug. In his desperatlopp ne resorteo TO
theft. Although he is only rs years of age,
the effects of the opium have made him look
like man of 50. Deep lines are in his face,
his cheeks are sunken, and his eyes have a
peculiar CLASSY appearance. Ten years ago
he was one of the most popular professional
ball players in the country. At one time he
was paid salary of $4,000 per annum, and
a share in the gate money for his services as
pitcher. He distinguished himself in matches
with the Atlantic club, played with the Hay
makers, the Red Stockings, and other noted
organizations.
