Slaves of Quinine.

''Have you noticed the growing abuse of
quinine?" druggist in the vicinity of the
Fifth avenue hotel asked last night At
the same moment he bowed and smiled to a
tall, administered man who stroled in
Just watch this customer" he said.
The man was very thin and cadayerous
looking. Without saying word he walked
up to the soda fountain, and the boy drew
out a pill box, poured three pills into the
palm of the customers hand. set glass of
mineral water in front of him. and turned
to the next customer. The tall man swal-
lowed the pills. drank the water turned on
his heel and stalked away with another
pleasant nod to the proprietor.
THAT costs him S1.40 week." said the
proprietor. land before, long it will kill
him. He started to take one five-grain pill
every night about six months ago; he now
takes fifteen grains a night before he goes
home, SO that it will brace him up for his
dinner. Within month he will be taking
twenty grains a night. Of course he takes
it at home besides what he gets here
I've gone out of my way three or four
times to explain to him that he had good
deal better drink rum. even if he is deacon
in church, but his answer is simple one;
he says ouinine makes him cheerful and
stopping it once, and cayed in: hence he
wants to know why he should stop. You
can't combat such reasoning as that
Have you many such regular GUS
tomers?"
''Well, to be accurate, we have only
three men who come in every day and pay
at the end of the week, but there are many
others who take their quinine about as reg
ularly as most drinking folks take whisky.
1t is certainly great temptation to weakly
organized and frail people All they have
to do is to swallow a pill OF two
and they feel robust, wide-awake and
cheerful. The practice grows on them
continually and it seems to be spreading, for
our sales of quinine are constantly growing.
A good proportion of the custom comes from
women who grow fatigued or weary while
shopping, and who, instead of buying nutri-
tious luncheon or drinking a wholesome
bottle of porter or ale, resort to the insid-
ious Quinine pill"

were good friends. Before the war
Mr.. Caho me went South, and we met
again for the first time in twenty-five years,
in this city in 1885. The slender youth,
then weighing perhaps 100 pounds, had
grown to full manhood, and had broadened
out, and dropped the scale at nearly 200;
but he possessed the same old time cour-
tesy and kindness which marked his ca
reef over quarter of a century gone. In
early days Mr.. Cahoone dealt in real estate:
later he became connected with the editorial
profession and is now one of the owners of
the Bell telephone. He is a gentleman in
every sense of the word and man of abil-
ity.
IRA BIDwELL,
the banker of early days, must have come
to st. Paul from Wisconsin in 1854. He
opened bank in the old brick building
which stood on the corner Of Third and
Minnesota streets, and continued there for
many years. He was very quiet and pru-
dent man, exceedingly cautious in business
matters, and died many years ago. His
son Henry was with him In the bank, and
at one time owned the Prescott place in
West st. Paul, where he cultivated grapes
and raised bees. He went to California,
and there believe he now is. He was a
young man of excellent character, very
kind hearted and very liberal. and I regret
he did not remain here, for he would have
made most excellent citizen.
Ed Hogan was another old settler who
dealt largely in real estate and was prom
inent member of the Baptist church. He
died years ago.

FRANK COLLINS
with his immense voice and stentorian
lungs as he rode through the streets and
sang out: "Going. going, how much am
offered, going, going" He was an auc-
tioneer and did big business. and was a

his cane over his head. growing out of a
political discussion. Frank talked all over
a ten-acre lot, and yet he was stirring

The Christmas GLOBE is pronounced by
everybody to be the most attractive paper
they ever saw. The writer heard enough
compliments yesterday to fill several col
umns. The sale in Saltwater has been
wonderful. Hundreds of copies were sent
through the postoffice to all parts of the
world. The demand is still large here for
the paper. Several orders have been sent
in, and still the demand is in excess of the
supply. Yesterday afternoon another lot
was received, nearly all of which were dis
posed OF in less than half-hour. Many
persons are sending away as high as
twenty copies to their friends as remem-
brance and to show them what a great paper
the GLOBE is. One man sent away fifty
copies to different points. More have been
ordered. and will arrive this morning, in
order to supply the demand. BE sure and
save me twenty copies," and so on, is the
way orders came in yesterday. Those
who have been unable to get any thus far
should call this morning as there will prob
ably be no other chance.

convicted with the evidence they have.

Pasteur, although too good a phvsi-
clan to claim the possession of a certain
cure, has really gone very far to estab-
llsh his theory that hydrophobia can
be prevented by inOculation. For a
long time he has been experimenting
upon rabbits. He can produce hvdro7
phoOla by direct incubation. but bv a
series of inOculations from one animal
to another he obtains a modified virus
that will give immunity from the dis
ease. That is to say, rabbit that has
been lnOculated with the modified virus
IS lnoculated directly from a rabid dog
without effect, whereas an unprotected
rabbit similarly treated dies of HYDRO.

next step was the application of the
process to man, and the foreign dis

apparent success. In one case n how

Cnree months have passed no svmptOms
OF the disease have yetappeared. The
Sother case is similar, but a shorter time
has still elapsed. These are onIvnega-
tive proofs, but they are certainly en-
couraging as far as they 60. They also
support the great naturalist's idea that
