MAD FOR COCAINE.

Residents of Manchester, Conn.,, Afflicted
 With 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 ob- tain legislative restriction on the sale of the drug The evil had it's inception when local druggist year ago made preparation of cocaine and menthol which could be used us snuff. It was intended as q 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 lot of money on the sale of the compound, he was one of the prime movers in trying to check the evil habit. It 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- ble.
 The persons affected with this vicious habit can be seen on the streets at night "pinohing it is called-and at al- most any public entertainment they can be seen getting in dark corner, where they can enjoy a good ''pinoh. " As q rule, there are three or four together, and they all have their turn at treating.
 The preparation costs 50 cents an ounce. Some of the habitues consume as much as $5 worth in week.
 An experienced physician said that he never heard of place where tho abuse of the drug had become so general and that the future prosperity of the town was involved.

cLEvELAND's PRINCETON HOME


 ouniary benefit, but to attract strangers to the town. It has accomplished it's purpose in the few years of its existence. During the year many persons who had not been in Princeton before have been drawn to the spot by the beautiful sur roundings and the comforts of the inn.
 Among the number are several well known New York literary men who are not graduates of any college and who have been captivated by the charms of the old town.
 The Slidell mansion, which MT. Cleveland has purchased, is within q stene's throw of the inn, and on those nights when the juniors and seniors gather in the grillroom of the college hostelry he will hear the songs and cheers of the disporting youths. Maybe ho will seize his cane and walk across the old Stockton lawn and take peep at the youngsters. It will add years to his life.
 Several well known Princeton alum nj, whose purses are richly stocked, have purchased estates in the old town. They mean to live and die there. It is to be their home for most of the months of the year
 The latest purchasers are MT. M. Taylor Pyne and Mir. Junius Morgan of New York They have secured beautiful sites. There is already small colony of literary men in the town, and, though they do not come in active contact with the university student life, still they enjoy the atmosphere and have at their disposal the book treasures of the insti- tuition
 What the leaders of the literary colo ny movement look forward to as a great attraction will be the new library. This magnificent building will cost between $500, 900 and $600,0 ,000 and will have the capacity for 1000, 900 volumes. In this home of books the literary man will find all the gems of ancient and modern thought. Hero will be his ely sium.
 Mr. James W. Alexander of New York, who is a well known Princeton graduate and one of the most enthusi- astie members of the movement to make the town literary center, regards the new library as one of the most impor- tant features in the plan.
 In this library, said he, ''the man of literature will have all the necessary materials nt hand. He can pursue his labors with the consciousness of obtain ing information or of seeking reference on almost every subject. He can follow the politics of the nation and enrich himself with the sciences and the arts.
 Situated midway between New York and Philadelphia, and with the means of swift communication at hand, see no reason why Princeton in the next few years will not be a striking literary center. The town has unique adyan tages. The scenery is both beautiful and historic. It is town situated on hill, from which can bs seen in the distance the Navesink highlands. And in the place rest all that is mortal of some of the most famous men in the history of our country. New York Herald.

HERRMANN,s GREAT TRICK


 How He Caught Bullets Fired by Expert
 MarIxsmen of the National Guard.
 Now that Hermann the Great is eona there can be no harm in explaining how his wonderful trick of catching the bul- lets shot at him by six national guards. men was done.
 On both occasions the famous presti. digitateur stood alone upon the stage while six picked marksmen from the New York state national guard fired point blank upon him from platform built in the audience. On both occasions Hermann, pale of face and painfully alert caught the bullets, previously marked by committee of noted army men, and handed them back hot from the barrels for Identification.
 Of course it was trick, but 1t was n dangerous trick, and one that Hermann disliked to do. But even he was less nervous than the marksmen, who. act. ing in perfect good faith, feared that they might kill the pluoky magician
 Of course there was an aceomplioe and this accomplioe was not one of the marksmen, but the sergeant in charge of them. This sergeant took the six rep ulation army bullet cartridges on a sil, yer platter to the committee.
 The committee examined them, made sure they were genuine, marked them plainly and replaced them on the plat ter. The sergeant instantly raised the platter in plain sight at arm's length above his head, walked over to the marksmen, and they themselves each took cartridge, examined it and placed it ill the rife. Then came the shooting
 The trick lay in the platter, which had a false bottom. Under this bottom lay six other cartridges, identical in size, weight and appearance, but hold ing bullets made of a composition of plumbago and mercury. When the ser geant held the platter aloft, he touched spring and by q clever mechanism these six flake" cartridges jumped into the platter, while the genuine cartridges disappeared beneath the false bottom.
 So 1t was the composition cartridges that the marksmen uukowingly put into their rifles, and on firing this com position was instantly melted by fric- ton through the barrels end dissipated in the air.
 Meantime. however, the supposedly empty platter was taken behind tho wings, where the genuine cartridges were drawn out. quickly heated and carefully placed by an attendant on q table, where Hermann, just before the firing, oarelessly picked them up and palmed them. Holding them in his hands during the firing, he immediate 1y produced them as the smoke cleared.
 A simple trick, but a very dangerous one, for if the platter mechanism fail ed to work completely one or more of the genuine cartridges might have got into the rifles of the marksmen and thence into Herrmann's body.-New York Herald.

DIEDWoRTH $2o, 900?
Goldsmith, Who Was Burned With His
 Wife. Was Insured For Her Benefit.

Goldsmith, Who Was Burned With His
 Wife, Was Insured For Her Benefit.
 There is going to be an interesting litigation in New York city over S20,- 900 of insurance on the life of Aaron Goldsmith taken out in favor of his wife. He, his wife and their three ohil- dren were burned to death. His brother, Louis Goldsmith of Ohateaugay, N. Y, was appointed administrator of his es tate by Surrogate Arnold on Monday. Goldsmith left two other brothers and a niece.
 The question is whether Goldsmith or his wife died first Relatives of his wife contend that the money comes to them and that tho administrator of her husband will have nothing to adminis- ter upon. and they say they will have an administrator of her estate appointed shortly to take charge of the insurance money.
 Counsel who have been consulted about the case say that under common law decisions tho law would presume that the husband, being probably stron- ger than q woman, would survive the wife. Decisions which arc pointed out in support of this view were cases where a man and woman had gone down with a vessel. It was said that there is no such case on record with regard to q fire and that the reasoning applicable to drowning would not pertain to fire. The proximity of each of the persons to the advance of the flames, the character of the clothing they wore and their physical characteristics, it was said, would also play their parts, Moreover, there may be evidence given to show that the woman did, in fact, survive her husband. Relatives of the woman say they believe they can prove that the woman was heard to scream after the husband had been apparently overcome by the flames. New York Sun.

At the Opera House.

Punch Robertson's dramatic com pany rendered "Rose Cottage" last evening, to the delight of large and appreciatiVe audience. The cast was strong and the characters uniformly well sustained With a better play the company would be able to do excellently. The crown attraction of the evening, because of it's novelty, was the phantoscope, introduced between the fourth and fifth acts. This wonderful machine reproduces scenes just as they oc- cured, giving expression, motion and incidents idcntically as in the original It is d marvellous instru- ment and gives ore a deeper impress sion than ever of the transcendent genius of Edison.
 The piece tonight is '"The Buck eye" and the audience will find it full of fun, pathos, and sentiment. It is much on the order of "Old Home stead"
 Mir. Robertson regrets that last night he had to pause in his part a. the climax of tbe play and reprove the gallery. Wishing his play to re- eeive the patronage of the best peo- pie in Pine Bluff he desired perfect order as essential to this end, hence his strictures of the gallery. Admis- sion tonight, 10, 20 and 30 cents, regardless of sex.
