THE ART OF DOPING"
A Subject Recalled by an Incident of
 Yesterday.

A Mexican was on trial in Justice Johnstone's court yesterday accused of a disturbance of the peace. This charge yelled a serious and outrag pus offense which for want of proper evi- dence he could not be charged with. It Mexican girl in hack room Of An toine Gould's saloon in the block. Her recovery from the effect of the dose was uncertain, and when she was in court yesterday, two days after the occurrence, she was still dull from the effect of the draught. The poison would, perhaps, have been morn effectively administered but for the appearance of Officer Do heney, who was attracted by the noise of the struggle between the de- fendant and another woman, who was trying to take the poisoned girl hDme The defendant was necessarily dis charged because the girl herself coula give no intelligent account ef whaf had happened.
 Complaints have team frequent of the sudden and unexplainable effects of liquor drank in the wine rooms Of certain saloons in the outskirts. Th use of the knockout drops has beer widely described within the last sE months as a new achievement in vii lainy. Simple doping" itself is K old as the manufacturing of intoMicat- ing drinks. But doping is accomp- lished in several ways. The old fash toned one consists in the mixing of laudanum with liquor. Its effect is slow but lasting, if not permanent Another method much in vogue and perhaps never before described iH print is simple and almost instan- taneous, so that the operator lcses no time waiting for his victim to sue cumb; and then 1t is absolutely safe The thing is done in this way: Tn, operator, who may be smoking a cigar or cigarette toys with a whisky gla ss from which he intends his vic i'm to drink. He holds it inverted, lets the smoke from his cigar curi into it and sets it down on the table, then he pours liquor into it bef1re all the smoke escapes. The victim drinks and his cerebral belongings are i'm mediately daranged. He may recover in ten minutes or half an hcur, but either period is long enough for the man who smoked into his glass This information is disclosed in the inter est of the innocent, for all men with disposition 10 dope" are previously informed.

JUMPED DOWN AN AIR SHAFT.
One Greek Fatally and Another Ser:-
 ously Burned and Bruised.

New York, Oct 23-Two Greeks, Cosmus Chri5tus, 62 years old, and his nephew, Michael Ch1istus, aged IA, who were alsleep in a small inside room on the third floor of. tenement No. F Roosevelt street, shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon, awoke and found their bed on fire. Their cloth ing was in flames and the room was nearly filled with smoke
 The only windows in the room op- ened into an air and light shaft, less than three feet square, and as the door was in flames, Christus opened one of these windows and jumped out. His nephew followed ard landed on top of him at the bottom of the shaft, three stories below. Both were so badly burned and bruised and received such a shock that they were unable to make any outcry.
 The iremen soon arrived and ex- tinguished the blaze, but the apart ment was a wreck A quantity of the wood work and burned furniture was thrown the air shaft on the Greeks until they were nearly smothered, when enc of the firemen noticed a small hand protruding above the em- bers. A fireman was lowered into the shaft by a rope and with much diff culty the two victims were hoisted out nearly dead.
 A policeman sent in ry call for an ambulance which took Christus and his nephew to the Hudson street hos pital. The old man d1ed Tn great az ony in less than three hours. The boy was terribly burned, but the hospital surgeons say he may recover.
 Christus and his nephew were flower peddlers and lived together in the .is- tie room. The fire is supposed to have been started by the upsetting of ker- osene stove, which they used in pre- pairing their meals. Eighteen families, or about 100 persons, mostly Greeks, lived in the tenement.

FOUR LEPERS AT LARGE.
Escaped From North Brothers Island
 Last Thursday Night.

New York, Oct 23.-Four 1epers who escaped from the lazaretto on North Brothers island Thursday night, have not yet been captured. Ling Jung, a Chinaman, and William Elem ing, a German, had been virtual pris- cners on the island for two years They twice made unsucce ssful at tempts to get away. William Bryan and Philip Sydney had been there for seven months. The lepers made their escape between the time that had elapsed in the rounds of the orderly at night and the rounds in the morn ing of Friday. It is thought that they got away in a rowboat belonging to the orderly, for the boat is missing.
 The lepers are kept in an inclosure in the southern part of the island and are far removed from the sight of ob- servers, and are seen only by the or derlies in the day, and the night watchman at night.

the profit Of the thing and they began to
make rockers" Here the old miner
stepped in and informed them that he had
a patent on the rocker, that if they
wanted to mine they would have to buy
their machines of him. He was willing to
let few of them go at the exceedingly
small price Of SIS each and finding them in
demand, ne ceased his gold washing and
went TO making rockers" which cost him
less than 20 cents TO construct. After he
had sold a score, strangers dropped into
the county and began making rockers
with impunity, laughing at his claim to a
monopoly. one night dozen or more OF
the farmers who had purchased the Sl8 ma

day he has been a stranger to those parts

THE GLACIER MARVEL.
There Is No Theory That Satisfac-
tOriIy Accounts for 1t.
Salt Lake Tribune.

salt Lake tribune.
The theory that the deep placers of the
northland are due to the slow work of gla-
ciers grinding their irresistible way
through the days and nights of the centu-
ries, is a reasonable one. The gold came
from some place, and the glacier has been
the only freight line that on an extensive
scale has been doing business in that re-
gon since the last time that the old earth
tipped its axis. We notice that this
supposition has caused new speculations
regarding the California placers, and the
query is put forth that they too, may have
been due to the grinding of immemorial
glaciers. 1t is not a new theory. Prof. j.
E. Clayton from the first insisted that there
was no other reasonable explanation of
their presence in California. The doubt
from whence they were brought. be-
cause the gold in quartz veins is generally
exceeding fine, While nugget gold was often
found in the placers. Maybe the far north
will solve the mystery Maybe the gold
matriX of the continent will be discovered
there Still, it is hardly probable for the
likely, after carrying down the surface
treasures, deposited a great depth of soil
where the safe had been rifed. Certainly
the flow OF the glacier is the most mar
Velous phenomenon on land. What is the
exciting cause? Whence comes the ire
sistible and tireless energy? What law
governs the sublime flow? 1t is like the
flow of the gulf stream in the ocean, that,
through the ages, pushes its way up from
the warm waters of the tropics, cleaVes its
distinct path through the waters of the
sea, drives on and is finally lost beyond
Scotland and Norway. There are many
theories 10 account for it, but none are
satisfactory. When all are stated civilized
man has the same feeling. we take it, that
the savage has when asked to account for
the pulse in his wrist. 1t is the same with
the glacier. The gulf stream. or, rather,
the air that rises from 1t. melts the ice
from frozen ships and sails, and gives the
everlasting green to the Emerald Isle but
what guides its course, what supplies its
energy? The glacier grinds down the
mountain tops and makes soil and fills that
soil with treasures, but what law guides
its flow. from whence comes its everlasting
vitality? The marvel of the earth and that
other marvel of the sea flow on and man
stands helpless TO find the laws which move
and control them.
