tent of an encore. This was the ca
PRECIOUS "Bamboola.''
Arthur Pryor's trombone solo was a
revelation of the possibilities Of this

4 TOWN on A SPREE.

The Legislature OF Connecticut IS TO be
ASKED to. step In aud sober up the town
Of Manchester. in that State. the entire
population " which. almost, Is said to be
on cocaine Jag" Some time ago an
ontovprsing Manchester druggist com
menccd TO put up an asthma snur COM
posed of cocaine and monthol The pre-
paration was not long in becoming both
popular and seductive. and despite the
efficacy Of the snuff as a remedy for
asthma somehow or other the disease
seems 20 have spread with startling
rapidity The Manufacture Of the snuff
also proved lucrative. and soon the other
druggists of Manchester began also 10
put IL on the market. Now everybody in
the town is snuhing the preparation. Per
sons can be seen ''pinchlns" on the
streets az night, az entertainments hosts

Moreover. the remedy has returned TO

were not content that he should enjoy a
monopoly Of IS manufacture and sale.
The Manchester druggists are walked NJ

week. Moral suasion has entirely failed
to work reformation. and the spree has
assumed such proportions that it has
been decided that the only way Of pulling
the town together is TO have the Lesisla-
ture pass q stringent law restricting the
sale Of cocaine. From the accounts the
correspondents give Of tho ravages Of the
habit and the "goines on of its victims
if the Legislature refuses TO take the ac-
ton referred to. the alternative will be 10
