City Counselor of st. Louis Sends
Some Light on Government of
Parks and BOuleyards,

The rules for the government of the city's
parks and boulevards. and the approaches
thereto, prepared by the board and adopted
by the upper house of the city council,
prohibit the driving of loaded vehicles along
the approaches and driveways, but this
of the council. Some question arising as
to the right of the board and council to
brook wrote Mr.. W. c. Marshall. the city
counselor of ST. Louis, for his opinion in
the premises, knowing that the same ques-
ceived the following. reply:
THE case referred to by your aldermen
was decided by Judge Noonan when he
ton in this city. So far as 1 am advised
the case was never appealed. He declared
the ordinance prohibiting heavy hauling on
sonable and void. because the city under
its charter had no power thus to regulate
the use of its streets. Notwithstanding that
Ill of our charter the right to regulate
the use of the streets is vested in the mayor
ing was based on the ordinary rule of law
that the streets are open for use by all
persons whomsoever. and hat unless the
city is specially given power to establish
boulevards and to regulate heavy hauling
on the same. the city would have no right
to pass ordinances Of this character. Part
ward act of 1891 was passed (acts 1891. page
AZ. Our supreme court. however. has prac-
ideally declared THIS act unconstitutional.
You will find in second Dillon on Munich
pal Corporations, 4th edition. sections $50
and 6S2. and note l thereto. the proposition
stated that a city under proper charter
authority may regulate the weight which
wagons may carry on streets, but cannot
II believe in the absence Of special char
ter authority the general common law
proposition that the streets are open to use
by all persons whomsoever must be fol-
lowed. and that no city has the right to
prohibit heavy hauling on its streets"
The prevalent opinion is that the pro-
posed ordinance will have to undergo some
modification.

COCAINE TAKEN AS SNUFF.
DEADLY DRUG BEING USED IN NEW
FORM BY THE FIENDS.
Use of the Drug Has Been Rapidly
Perverted, and the Danger,
Points Out n Skilled Observe
er, Is Very Great.

Laura MILFORD. a young colored woman.
has been at the city hospital in a serious
condition from taking cocaine as snuff.
administering the insidious drug, whose use
from that of a beneficial anesthetic has
been perverted to that of a powerful and
ravaging nerve stimulant, more destructive
than opium or morphine. Inquiry among
physicians yesterday, however, revealed
the fact that this is a common form of
taking cocaine and that it is growing more
and more popular with the class of people
who are addicted to the drug.
DIR. +. ]. Iuen. who, as assistant police
surgeon. has had an extended experience
with the victims of this and other drugs,
said yesterday that for the past year or
two the use Of cocaine taken as a snuff has
been growing.
alkaloid. Its proper use is that of an an
esthetic. 1t has been in use for perhaps
ten years, but only within Il much shorter
time has it been perverted into a stimu-
liant. 1t is an exceedingly insidiouS drug
and its victims become more and more en-
tangled in the tolls. Cocaine 'tiends' are
those unfortunates addicted to the use of
any other drug. The natural form of CO.
caine is a powder, though it may be used
in solution. The common method of using
it as a drug is by hypodermic injection.
The first stages of the habit are compar-
atively pleasant, but there is another pic
ture which is not SO pleasant. 1t is a
powerful mental as well as physical slim
ulant and produces u mental eXhilaration
which is said to be very agreeable. But
continued use produces hallucinations and
leads to insanity.
"The swallowing Of the drug is not a
popular method of using it, for it pro-
duces as an after effect a violent nausea,
and is a powerful depressant. For that
reason. perhaps, it is more usually taken
hypodermically. Its use as a snuff is
comparatively recent, and undoubtedly
grew out of the use of catarrhal snuffS.
which contain more or less cocaine in dilu-
ton. 1t acts quickly upon the mucous
membrane of the nose and many take it in
diluted form as a relief for catarrh. asth-
ma and similar affections.
This undoubtedly led cocaine 'fiendS' to
take the drug as snuff. The effects are
the same and the arrangement of the
stomach does not follow. nor are the effects
of repeated hypodermic injections pres
emit"
DIR. Iuen expressed the belief that legal
restrictions should be placed on the sale
of such drugs. Under the present lax sys-
tenn of the indiscriminate sale Of all kinds
of dangerous and pernicious drugs. it is
not a matter of the slightest difficulty to
procure all the morphine. strychnine. CO.
caine, arsenic, Rough on Rats or any
other dangerous drug desired.
