MAD FOR COCAINE.

Residents OF Manchester, Conn.,. Afflicted
With a General Craze For the Drug.
The cocaine habit has taken such a
hold on the residents of Manchester,
Conn, that steps are being taken to OBJ
tain legislative restriction OH the sale
Of the drug. The evil had its inception
when o local druggist o year ago made
q preparation of cocaine and menthol
which could beaused as a snuff. 1t was
intended as a specific for asthma, but
the prescription was passed around. and
now hundreds Of persons have become
slaves to the stuff.
One prominent druggist said that
while he had made q lot of money on
the sale Of the compound, he was u
of the prime movers in trying to check
the evil habit. 1t had got to such q
point that we'll known men and women
went to his house at all hours Of the
night and made him go to the store and
get the stuff for them, threatening if he
did not that they would break into the
place. He says their condition is pitia-
BILE.
The persons affected with this vicious
habit can be seen on the streets at night
"pinching''-as it is called-and at al
most any public entertainment they can
be seen getting in q dark corner, where
they can enjoy a good pinch" As a
rule, there are three or four together,
and they all have their turn at treating.
The preparation costs so cents an
Some Of the habitues consume
as much as s. worth in a week.
An experienced physician said that he
never heard Of a place where the abuse
Of the drug had become 30 general and
that the future prosperity Of the town
was involved.

were generally complimented for their
accuracy, and the majority of the re.
marks were devoted to an effort to ex-
plain their appearance. Senator Vest
asserted that no one but a trained
newspaper man could give the pro.
ceedings in such detail as sen out, and
c%ontended that an expert must be en-
ployed somewhere in the chamber
He complained quite bitterly Of the ap'
.~.earance Of such reports as derogatory
to the dignity Of the senate. He was
followed by Senators Hale and Hoar il

His Fortune Left to Science.

The will Of the late Alfred Nobel,
