Preparations Which Arc MS Costly as
Precious Stones.
We would, perhaps, wonder less ut
the fancy charges made by physicians
and surgeons who have rare and cx-
ceptional cases III charge If we only
knew the cost of drugs they use in
special diseases. For the benefit of the
army of 1.-The curious" the st. Louis
Republic has prepared the following
list of scarce and expensive drugs:
Throe-pound bottle Of alllaloid of
nconitinc, S4S5.50; Quarter-ouncc vial of
chclidonine allsaloid, q new drug used
in skin diseases, scrofula and dropsy,
SIS; cocaine, about S120 per pound. A
fve-ounce bottle of ''true cotoin" will
cost about $3.50, or about SO an ounce.
Crystals of claterin, q poison used in
cases of hydrophobia and locljaw, pre-
pared from plant called South Amcri-
can Indian arrow. is worth about S1i5
per ounce.
Among other costly drugs we might
mention the following and the differ
cnt size bottles and Walls in which they
are sold Agaricin. AZ ounces, S43.75;
colocynthin, 90 ounces, S114.75; con-
line hydrochloratc, Az ounces, sos. 45;
cyclamin, 81 ounces, s54.O4; digitoxin.
IL ounces, 8S7.4o; gentisin, TX ounces,
So1.15; heliotropin, ounces. sG1.35;
dydrastinc hydrochloratc, 015 ounces,
S104.SO; papayotin, used as n solvent for
the diphthcric membrane, 13 ounce bot
tie, per bottle, S1S0.50.
Besides the above there are various
preparations made from the Calabar
bean, the cost of which is amazing.
They are chiefly used in diseases of the
eye. One is called physostigrninc
alhaloid, and costs Sl37.5O per ounce
vial. Physostigmine crystals are still
more expensive, being sold in two and
onc-half ounce bottles at cost Of
S503.15. Still another preparation Of
the Calabar is physostigminc Galley
late crystals, an aristocratic drug that
surely furnishes fitting capsheaf for
this pyramid of costly stuffs, which is
furnished to the consumer who is able
to pay at the reasonable charge of ST..
$1,000 for q two ounce vial

He Escaped the Bullets. but tho Scourgo

In the year Of the last yellow fever
epidemic in the South, says the New

catch the disease ut n summer resort on
the gulf was n tall, rather heavily-built
man, whose eye was dark and keen,
and who wore q very fine gray imperial
Ito was strillingly handsome man.

strong lace. But his manner was grave
and chilling and he made few acquaint-
ances. Staying ut the big hotol was
man who, in earlier life, had lived In tho
west, but who shortly after the war
had married Southern widow, who
owned sugar plantation on tho Mis-
sissippi river. lie knew Major Wells,
the stranger, and on tho evening when
the Major died told tho following story
to u group of men who sat on ono of
the hotel vcrandas:
: when | first saw Wells he was q
! Deputy United States Marshal in Ne
vada. lie was so cool and daring that
3 he seemed absolutely indifferent to
death lie would calmly walk into n
bar-room filed with reckless gamblers
and desperate outlaws, pick out his
man. scarcely saying word, and march
him out the door without placing his
hand on q weapon, or holding himself
In readiness for IN attack.
Coming down tho street one dny I
heard rapid firing, and looking up saw
Wells standing behind the stump of q
tree (the stumps still stood in tho streets
where the trees had been fclled) and
three men blazing away at him. Wells
was as rigid as n statue, his face n little
white, but unmovcd. He was u sure
shot with revolver, and l expected to
see him draw his si%-shooter and drop
his men in one, two, three order, but he
did not stir. For moment tho bullets
rained around there, and then tho sound
OF the shooting suddenly ceased. Tho
three men had cmpticd their revolvcrs
AT that instant, quick as n flash, and
with tiger bound, Wells lcnpcd before
the three men, and, whipping out his
revolver, with u swift stroke of his arm,
covered them. They oil stood stock
still. The whole thing took less time
than it docs to draw long breath.
Then he grinly walked tho three of
them off and he saw them securely
locked up.
II met him few hours later lcaninr
carelossly over bar, us easy md un-
concerned as if he had never heard tho
crack of n six-shooter
Good heavens. Wells said to
him, why did you let those fellows
blaze away at you without returning a
shot3 The chances were fifty to ono
against YOU
There was quiet smile on his lips
when he answered that words can not
describe, and in his eye was the twinkle
OF man who loved good joke:
There was just one ball in tho
chamber OF my revolver, he said. and 1
thought might need it later
And there is man." said the
speaker, after slight pause, who de-
fled the bullets of dcspcradocs for
years, and who went down like q child

WASHINGTON, July SIT is quite
generally understood In well-informed
Republican circles that the President is
thoroughly disguised with the Wanna
maker business. Indeed, it is now open
ly asserted by party men of high stand
ing, though not in official life. that he
very bitterly resented the pressu re
brought to bear by Pennsylv ania In
Wanamaker's favor for Cabinet posi-
ton. A man of his training and ante
cedents naturally disapproved of a man
of Wanamaker's origin and environ
ment in the capacity of an official asso-
ciate.
Harrison believes In lawyers and
statesmen as iDcumbents OF high and
responsible public places, and does not
think that experience as the manager OF
a successful BON mdrchc qualities one
for conducting great government
Office. But If Harrison was disgusted
in the first place, what must be his sem
timent now, when all indications point
to Wanamaker's implication in the
crookedne of the Keystone bank, and
when the inquiry threatens, II properly
pressed, to bring scandal on his admin
istration? You cannot find prominent
Republican. either in private or public
life, who even pretends to be able TO
reconcile Wanamaker's statement that
he never owned share OF Keystone
stock with the testimony OF experts,
the books and such individuals as Jones,
who handled the stock for him. 1t
seems to be conceded that the good
man has not told the truth, and that,
morally speaking, he has already been
convicted. Certain that his friends and
defendants here are far from happy,
and that they bear about with them the
anxious air Of men who know they are
walking over mine.

BRIDGEPORT.

1t seems that the brick question IS not
settled yet. Council, on last Thursday
evening, appointed committee of two,
consisting of r. L. Smith and William
Koehn line, to go to Rush Run and look
at the brick to be sent here, and If they
are not first class brick and fully up to
the specifications, to report the same to
Council, and they will direct Messrs.
Staubb and Moore that the brick will
not be allowed TO go In the street. This
is a good move and is taking time by
the forelock-as we had some 200,0 900 of
these brick sent here before, and all had
to be sold because, but few were suit
able to go in the street. The people are
getting anxious about this matter and
do not want the contract extended
again. If these brick are not
first class fire brick. burneG especially
for paving purposes, as called for by
the specifications, they should not be
used, because the street Is one that will
REQUIRE the best of material, as it is the
main thoroughfare of the town. If
they are all right, that is the end of 1t.
A competent inspector should be APP
pointed to manage and see that no In
ferior material or work is put in this
street.
