WILKIE COLLINS
A Victim OF the Opium Habit-His Will
and His Children.


All sorts of strange stories are current
about Wilkie Collins life, and the inner
most secrets of the novelist who sought,
above all things TO shield himself and his
home from the gaze and comment of his
fellow-men are the topic of the hour. Ed
mund Yates set the ball rolling in a
signed article in his paper, the London
World, in which he said 1t was during
the progress of the "Moonstone," l be-
lieve. that Wilkie Collins first acquired
the baleful habit of taking sedatives,
which he continued more or less through
out his life. Excited beyond measure
by the constant nerve pressure created
by the necessity of having every thread
of his story constantly within his
grasp; suffering under sharp attack OF
rheumatic govt in the eyes; distracted at
the same time by the serious illness of his
mother, TO whom he was devotedly at
tached, Wilkie Collins did as Coleridge,
De Quincy and no end OF others eminent
in the fraternity had done before him
he sought and found relief in anodynes.
On this subject l almost fear to write. less
| should be suspected OF exaggeratiOn,
but from what he himself told me. and
from what have heard from friends of
even greater intimacy with him, believe
that about that period, and for the greater
part of his after life, Wilkie Collins was in
the habit of taking daily, and without
apparently serious noxious effect, more
laudanum-not batleys, nor any other
minimizing solution, but absolutely pure
laudanum-than would have suficed to
kill an entire ships crew or a whole COM
pany of soldiers. The amount was, OF
course. arrived at slowly and by degrees
An actor who knew Wilkie Collins init
mately remarked at his funeral: Il have
seen Collins drink wineglassful of lauda-
mum at one swallow without effecting him
in the least. He suffered some injury
when still young man which rendered it
necessary that he should take opium to
kill the pain. Life would have been
almost unbearable to him without it.
In his will Wilkie Collins provides
literally for the three children whom he
acknowledges his own. They were at the
funeral with their mother, and one of the
numerous beautiful wreaths which sur
rounded the coffin was from them, but they
were not among the chief mourners and
kept out of view rs much as possible.
They never went near Will1ie Collins
house and few people here ever heard Of
them.
In his will Wilkie Collins refers to these
children as his own, and leaves one-half
OF his estate, which, 1t is said, will not ex-
coed 100000, to be divided in their inter-
est. The mother of these children was
housemaid in the employ of Wilkie Col
Inns mother, and was very devoted to her
while she lived. The other half of Wilkie
Collins fortune goes to his housekeeper,
Mrs. Graves, while she lives, and TO the
novelist's adopted daughter, Mrs. BARLEY,
on her mothers death. This adopted
daughter, the child of the housekeeper,
had been great pet of Collins for years,
doing all his work as amanuensis.

soIiIoouv of the Modern Hamlet.

A tax. or not tax, that is the question:
Whether tits better for the state, 20 suffer
The "trusts" and combines of protected nabobs,
Or. to repeal the laws by which they prosper,
And by free imports end them? To buy, 20 sell,
Trade free; and by our commerce say we break
The power by which these lords now hold us
And make men free; It's a contamination
DevOutly to be wished. To trade-to gain:
To gain perchance to fail ay, there's the rub;
For in the worlds great mart what ventures come.
Ere we have shaken of this robber tax
We must 20 slow there's the belief
Born Of superstition, that makes men think
Prosperity only comes by paving tax.
Else who would bear life of toll and care,
The oppressor's wrongs, the proud mans con-
tumely,
And drudge and sweat beneath the summers sun,
To pay this tax-that others might grow rich
When he, himself might his Door lot improve.
With one small ballot? Who would these burdens
bear,
But for the thought that foreign pauper goods,
OF which we hear much, would fill the ships
OF European countries, from whose ports
They'd quickly come, to glut our markets here,
Closing our mills, and forcing 70 give
Gold for goods; and leave workmen idle7
This thought alone makes havoc in our minds,
And makes rather the ills we have
Than choose the pathway that would give success.

A Pubic Disgrace.

1t is alleged that Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co.,
the Cincinnati school book publishers, paid the
campaign expenses of Mr.. LaFollette, the state
superintendent of education. This, probably,
accounts for his attempt to defeat the new
school book law. 1t is disgraeeful that man,
elected, and sworn to enforce the laws, should
be using his influence to bring the laws of the
state into discredit The people, however,
know that LaFollette is owned, body and soul,
by the school book trust, and his utterances
will have but little weight.

Van Antwerp's Agent.

State Supt of Public Instruction La
Toilette, general agent for the school-book
monopoly firms. is still persisting in attempting
TO create dscord in the schools of the state by
continually shooting off his mouth against the
Indiana school-book law. The people of the
state have no use for a school superintendent
who advises the school children to openly vio-
late law, and they will dispense with the
services of Mr. LaFollette at the next election
by large majority.

why HOrnaday Was Appointed.

But this is not Hornaday's first Offense. He
has been known rs an all-round swindler for
years, and Harrison could not have been ignorant
of his reputation. The secret of Hornaday's
appointment is that he was one of the tools
that Dudley used in the campaign of last year
20 organize 'the hoaters in blocks of five." He
was one of the trusted men with funds" who
bought the state for Harrison.

An Honest Law.

The law is an honest attempt to furnish good
school books at a price that all children can
afford to pay. and il has the earnest support of
all men who have not been bought or prejudiced
by the gang of plunderers. Give il a trial and
if il does not work as il should il will then be
time to amend il, but the state should never
allow itself to get into the conscienceless grip
OF the school book octopus again.
