A Woman Fi;saccier.

Mrs. Anastasia Patten, who died
at Portland, Me-, recently, was the
richest woman in Washington. She
was the widow of Edmund Pntten,
one of the lucky Forty-niners, who
died several years ago, leaving five
daughters and IS, 900, ,OOO-"a mill
ion apiece," as n bright young So
ciety man has said after q mental
calculation.
Mrs. Patten was almost us able Il
financier as her husband. Coming
here as stranger three years ago,
she promptly invested in real estate
under the boom then Ill operation
there, and before the boom stopped
she had cleared $500, ,O0O-moret than
any ono else made except Gardiner
Hubbard, Graham Bells fnther.in-
law, who made twice ns much. At
the same time Mrs. Patten built u
800, 900 house on Massachusetts

her way into society-neithcr feat
very difficult to a tiye-millionairc.

The-gse of Cocaine.

The Use of cocaine is steadily in.
crensing in the practice Of medicine
in this country. 1t is the most dan.
gerous drug and one of the most
useful in the hands of our ;,l4,ctition-
ers. You hear people abusing co.
caine, and talking about the lives it
has wrecked-and every scientific
man must admit that the cocaine
habit is about the worst thing Il lnan
or woman could get; but you don't
SO often hear the things that are on
the credit side of the ledger. Cocaine
has made the surgery of the eye and

Much of the most delicate surgical
work would he very difficult without
it, and in spite of the failure which
several doctors have made, lrlicve
it may be used with magical effect in
eases ofmclHncholia.
The trouble is that We do not know
how to use cocaine as yet. 1t is Il
new discovery not ten years old. We
have not had time to study it, You
see. The cocainc habit is formed la

Carton. stabbiss Afsir.

A stabbing affray which will probably
terminate fatally took place Mt Winona,
Mimi, in the yard adjoining Burmeist4r's q
hotel. Two farmers. brothers-in-lnw, named
Herman Bakie and Herman Bcmke Of Rush
Creek, came into town and put up their team
in Burmcister's stable. After spending the
afternoon about town and drinking some
they returned about G:3O and ordered the
hostler. Charles Zuetke. to get ont their team.
He made some reply about their coming
around after dark instead of going home by
daylight. and started for the barn, followed
by the two men. Just what followed il not
known, hut in n short time Zuctke was
heard loudly crying for help. and soon camc
running into the hotel dripping with blood
and fell down exhausted. Officer
Schoening arrested Bakbc but his
brother-in-law fed and could not le found.
Zuetke was fiightfully cut up,
ten stabs being reported in his hack three
in his left arm, bad gnsh near tho heart
md some smaller cuts. He is too feeble to
make any statement and will probably die.
Bakbe wus jailed and Il knife found on his
person, but with no evidence of blood on it
nor on his person, and it is thought his
brother-in-lnw, Remke, who is Mt large. did
the cutting. Much excitement exists and
Burmeister has been compelled to lock up
his hotel to keep away the crowd.

at an afternoon party given in Lon
don, the guests were entirely served
by II lmvy Of female servants, all
dressed alike in black gowns, white

waiting was much more efficiently
