Winnebago County, Wis, has solved the

a workhouse. From July l. 1919, to

Lack of Buiiding inspection.


the law provides no inspection, recent
report of the Commissioner of Labor says:
"rhere are In Michigan hundreds Of pub
lie buildings, including hotels. public halls
and mercantile establishments. that are
veritab.e fire traps. Many hotels are with
out external fire escapes of any KIND.
Stairways and elevators in case OF hre
are simply flues for passage of smoke anu
flame. 1t would be little less than mira
Gle if guests in hotels of this kind should
all escape in case of fire. Public halls
in many cases are reached by narrow
stairways and corridors. In case of an
alarm of fire n stampede could hardly be
averted. in which the loss of life would
be fearful. Many mercantile houses en-
ploy people on upper floors. Very often
goods of an infammable nature are stored
there for repaclxing or for future use. In
case of accident creating fire the hor-
rors of the Edison. Moore a. Go. Gre would
be repeated. If human lives are valued.
the safety of people in all public buildings
should be cared for. The laws of the
State should provide for an inspection of
these places" 1t is said that during the
three years the inspection law has been
in force in the State 200 fire escapes have
been caused TO be put up, $50 elevators
provided. so dust arresters or blowers pro-
vided. $50 guards and safety devices con-
structed. 397 children under ii years old
discharged and 1850 miscellaneous orders
enforced by the inspectors. 1t is conclud-
ed that the law has been n success and
that very little ill-feeling has been en-
gendered by the enforcement.

Left Vino ilcmoIished.

An avalanche of great volume and al
most irresistible power swept down upon
the buildings of the famous Monastery of
st. Bernard in France, and great appre-
hension was caused at Aosta for the
safety of the hospice and the fifteen All
gustinian monks who live there. Relief
parties were sispatched to the place that
has sheltered thousands of travellers dur
ing centuries, and the hardy Alpine res
cuers were overjoyed to find that there
had been no loss of life. A portion of
the avalanche demolished the left wing
of the monastery and buried the hospice
deep in snow and debris from the noun
tain side. Immediately the avalanche had
passed the monks began to dig "A tunnel
and soon made their exit. They prepared
quarters in the Hotel de st. Louis,
smaller building. containing the store
house for food and lodgings for poor way
farers. Every school pupil in the land
recalls stories about this hospice. its keep
ers and the wonderful tales of travellers
rescued from death by the dogs. who
carry casks of cordals and even pack
ages of food strapped TO their bodies. The
monastery was founded in 962 A. ID. by
St Bernard de Mention, and for these
many years this brotherhood of Augustin-
ian monks has administered gratuitously
to the sufferings of travellers. The pres

die of the sixteenth century. and another

NEGROES LIKE COCAINE.
With Many 1t Has Taken the Place
Of Whisky.
Slaves to the Drug WIZ Sell Their
All to Bay It-Queer State of AZ
fairs Existing Mt Evans
Vile, Ind.

According to the Evansville Qnd)
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, the habit of shutting" cocaine,
which has been taken up by lower
classes of that city, has developed at
an astonishing rate, and is rapidly at
tracing public attention. The evil re-
suits of this practice are numerous, and
scarcely day passes but what some
victim of the new fad finds himself be-
hind the bars for some deed committed
while under the influence of the drug.
Cocaine DRINKS" are common upon the
docket of the police court, and they
are dealt with in precisely the same
manner as the common drunkard.
The only difference is that the VIC
] tim of drink sometimes can recall
what occurred during the debauch, but
it has not yet been found that prison.
er before the court for indulging in the
use of cocaine can remember anything
of what took place prior to his arrest.
Cocaine "snuffing" was introduced in
Evansville about two years ago by a
party of negroes from Louisville and
st. Louis. Since then it has grown so
in popularity that it is taking the place
of drink to a certain degree. In the
section of the city who're the lower
population is the greatest, druggists
find ready sale for cocaine. The drug
gist buys it in the crystallized form
and pulverizes it for his customers.
At first the dealers would not sell it
in less quantities than one dollars
worth, but the repeated and frequent
demands for it in smaller quantities
were successful, and now it can be had
in any quantity. 1t is said that there
are several druggists in the colored
quarter of that city whose trade is near
ly entirely made up of the sale of CO.
caine. One druggist has been so an
noyed by his "all night" customers that
he now prepares the drug in five and
ten-cent packages, which he takes to
his sleeping apartments with him. A
knock at his door informs him that he
has customer, and he lowers small

box from the window of the second
story and receives the money, after
which the cocaine is lowered by the
same process.
An immense profit is realized from
the sale of cocaine. A year ago cocaine
cost the dealer eight dollars an ounce,
but to-day it can be purchased at $3.50
per ounce. The decrease in the whole
sale price has not noticeably affected
the retail price, but the consumers will
have it at any price. 4:
The habit is not confined to any sex.
Men, women and children partake of
the narcotic with the same degree of
satisfaction, and its effects are sadly
demoralizing. The negroes congregate
at night in small, crowded rooms, and
the revelry once begun continues until
the participants are all helplessly
overcome. At some of these gather
ings beer is sometimes dispensed, but
if one of the two luxuries must be omit
ted, it is always the beer.
The cocaine is taken similar to. snuff.
A pinch of it in the fingers is inhaled
through the nostrils in such quantities
as the age of the subject will permit.
The first effects of the drug are highly
pleasing, and it is not until the stimu-
lation is wearing away that the victim
becomes crazed, and gives way to all
the appearances of a maniac. While in
this condition one will commit almost
any crime to secure more of the drug,
and it is here that the most difficulty is
experienced.
Men and women who perhaps have
not a morsel of food in their homes
and scarcely any clothing on their
backs win part with their last penny to
obtain cocaine. So popular has the fad
become that recently cocaine social"
was given, at which some Is or 20 ne
groes attended. For this function an
ounce of cocaine had been purchased,
and the social" was conducted until
all who had attended were overcome by
the powerful effect of the drug.
