DOCTORS ADDICTED TO DRUGS.
Many New York Physicians Wrecked
by Constant Use of Narcotics.

The majority of professional men Of
habitual use of drugs are physicians,
and this fact was Strikingly illustrated
a few years ago by the success OF Il
young doctor who has since become one
of the best-known men in his profeS
sion. When he had been out of college
for only Il few years lecturer III one
OF the city colleges decided 10 decrease
the number of his lectures preparatory
to retiring altogether from work. AT
that time there were three Young ply
sicians equally qualified to succeed
him. and it was decided that tho choice
should be settled by allowing The men
to lecture for certain period ana Sc
lecting from them the one who was
most successful with the students. Inc
three men entered the competition with
equal opportunities. but only one of
them survived. The other two fell
away through the habit which has
wrecked the prospects of so many
promising young men in New YORK
who seemed certain TO win emnencc IN
their profession. The one who did not
fall victim 10 the use Of drugs won
the place and the distinction that fol
lowed.
Scarcely n year passes without the
disappearanc from New York of some
more or less prominent physician, Said
a doctor the other day after recalling
the mysterious death of Well-knoWn
physician several years ago. "And II Is
usually the use of some drug that cAus
es this retirement, which is sometimes
Temporary, but more often lasting. Co
caine has been one of the things very
much used by them, but morphine
opium and other narcotics are as mucl
in use. The habit of using them III tho
case of physicians seems to come IRON
the fact that. knowing the amount II
/ which the drugs can be safely used
there is never any doubt in their mind
that thcy can indulge themselves mod
erately and with no fear of excess. An
other reason is said to be that physl
clans know the agreeable effects from
the use of these drugs better than per
sons who have never had experience
with them. Whatever the causes ma!
be. the truth remains that no class o
professional men produces SO many vic
| fms of these drugs. And the more sur
prising feature of the whole affair Is
that they are the men who would i'll the
ordinary course of affairs be least eX
pected to yield to such temptations -

OPIUM JOINTS ARE PROTECTED
Chicago Police Scandal Has Been
Inearthcd.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The committee from
the senate investigating the charges
against the police force heard testimony
tending to show that regular police sys-
TEN of protection over Chinese opium
Joints exist Several Chinese appeared
before the committee, but with one or two
exceptions were afraid to testify. Sing
Ting. proprietor of one opium Joint, said
that if Governor Tanner or Mayor Harri-
son would guarantee him protection he
would tell all he knew. He said within
the past 10 days the police visited all the
opium Joints and warned the keepers
against giving testimony before the sen
ate committee. Sing Ting created a sensa-
ton by stating he and Sam May had once
been imprisoned for 10 days on the north
side for talking TOO much and that
Sam May had been compelled to leave the
city.
Nov Tin said that most opium Joint
proprietors paid $40 a week for police pro
lection He. however, paid but -
week. The collector, according to Moy
Tin. said that Alderman Coughlin was
the beneficiary.

RETRIBUTION SWIFT TO COME
Attack by Chinese Pirates Upon II
European Settlement.

san Francisco, Jan. y. - Associated
Press dispatches from Vancouver on the
18th instant contained an account of an
attack by Chinese pirates upon the Euro
pcan settlement at Iaiphong. The steam
Ell Coptic, which arrived from the ORIENT
today, brought full particulars of the muir
derous affair and the punishment meted
out to those offenders who were captured.
The pirates first attacked the town OF
Haiphong at o'clock ON the night of De
ccmber l5 1t was fired in four quarters
simultaneously and half of this provincial
capital has been destroyed.
The resident and his family and Euro
pean officials were compelled to abandon
their residences during the sortie, when
the troops took shelter in the forts. The
force was too small to admit of meeting
the pirates, who were armed with rifles,
in the open. At Wal Phu Mini Clam
there We're no casualties among the Euro
peans, but considerable damage was done
to the town. About 3 o'clock on the
morning of December l6 several hundred
Annamites crossed the river Lachtray in
small bands and conveyed upon Hal
phong. Shortly afterwards several fire
started in the European and native quar-
ters ON the outskirts of the town. Re
ports of firearms were heard in every di-
rection, and constable ran to the bar
racks and gave the alarm. Meanwhile an
other band, about $50 strong, attacked the
village of Ambir. This was headed by an
old man who marched in the center of
four standards which bore the inscriptions
"Obey the order of heaven: destroy the
Europeans: exterminate the dynasty of
Ngui- Yen and Mae"
About 4 o'clock company of French
troops in two divisions turned out and
charged the rear guard of the pirates with
fixed bayonets Fifteen of the pirates were
killed and several more wounded and TAX
en- to a hospital.
In the meantime the pirates had entered
the house of A. r. marty and killed his
bookkeeper. NJ. Gauthier. after horribly
mutilating him. His seven-year-old child
also disappeared They then attacked NJ.
Dulce, clerk for the Fausse Mining Com
pany, and left him for dead. He was tax
en- to the hospital, however, and may re-
cover.
On the following Saturday 10 of the cap
tured pirates were executed upon the spot
where NJ. Gauthier was assassinated, and
after the execution the heads of the p-
rates were placed upon stakes and set up
in front of the house. About 200 Euro
peans and 500 natives witnessed the eX-
ecution

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The Tribune says:
From the best information it is learned
that at the next annual meeting of the
Canadian Pacific Sir William Van Horne
will resign the presidency of the road. The
fact that the annual passes for 1898 and
stationery for this year do not contain
the name. "Sir William c. Van Horne,
President" is pointed to as an indication
that he means to step down and out. Sir
William is not to retire from the service
of the Canadian Pacific entirely, but will
be elected chairman of the board of direc-
tors.
