the latest thanks due the Creator of her be-

One day last summer while on a visit to

LUCK BY THE OUNCE
Sold In Large Quantities to Super.
stitiOus Persons.

Sold In Large Quantities to Super
stitiOus Persons.
From the Chicago Tribune
Down In the '"levee' district the drug stores
sell luck In the same manner and quantities
they do quinine and pills, and it is iust as
in this is confined entirely to the negroes,
whose superstition Is as we'll marked as the
color Of the sable race.
Gimme two bits wuf Sally Whites luck" {"
asked Senegambian of a drug clerk on
South Clark street the other day.
The clerk proceeded to pour shellac, salt
pan Of the scales until the five ounce weight
swung at balance. The purchaser pocketed
the small mixture of powders and departed.
The druggist explained.
''We sell luck all the time, and that man
who just left is one Of our best customers.
You notice he called for the Sally White
kind Of luck It is called sally White after
character in the levee by the name. She
is well known and is proverbially lucky. 1t
she @ who nit ap4n the ,s that
gradients and did her own mixing. In an
unguarded moment she revealed the secret to
friend one day, however. and the latter
came to us and we made up the prescription.
1t brought the desired luck to the woman.
Others found 1t out, and the Sally White
brand became a permanency:
There Is also the Sally White mixed luck,
which follows the other close second in pop
ularity. 1t is a combination of asafetida,
camphor, Spanish fly, sulphur, saltpeter, and
other powders. This sells for the same as
the straight Sally White. Then there is a
common luck that is made OF the same pow
ders in various combinations. This is consid-
cred by some ef1cacious as the Sally
White. 1t is bit cheaper Another sort of
luck Is made by the combination of oils, such
as verbena, pennyroyal, tansy, cedar, cloves
and white rum. This has no particular name.
1t is simply luck The negroes always specify
what kind Is desired. rgr
"In order to possess themselves of the luck
sought, the powder compounds are burned
somewhat like incense, in a close room, the
fumes being inhaled by the luck-seeker. The
oil compounds mixed with the water in
which the Iuck-coaxer washes him or herself,
also in the water which is used to scrub
floors. Sometimes 1t is sprinkled on the floor
of the allurers habitation. All of this is
done with the greatest care and secrecy,
sometimes a week and sometimes at
longer or shorter periods, as luck needs re-
plenishing.'
Women seem to be better customers for
the luck commodity than the men, for they
consume more. Not strange to relate, neither
buy the article on Fridays or on the 18th Of
the month. Luck may be bought for five
cents an ounce. Not infrequently 81 worth
is purchased at one time. From this super
sttion the drug stores IN the levee district
reap harvest every yeai.

RICH PRIZE is IN PORT
SPANISH MAIL STEAMER BROUCuT
TO KEY WEST
Twenty Officers Were on Board,
Among Them a Colonel of CavaI-
ry, Who Is Said to BE n Brother
in-Law of Gen. WeyIer-story
of Sea Fight or the Cuban
Coast.

KEY WEST. Fla, May 3.-The Span
lsh mail steamer Argonauta, Capt.
Tage, was conveyed into Key West
harbor by the United States cruiser
Marblehead this afternoon.
1t appears that Col. Vicente de Cor
TITO, of the Third Spanish cavalry. who
with nineteen other army officers. was
taken on the prize, is a brother-in-law
of Lieut.. Gen. Valeriano Weyler. Col.
de Cortijo denies this, but it is learned
from good sources, that he suStains this
relationship to the former govern or gen
eral Of Cuba. His captors are meas
urably elated.
Col. de Cortijo and the other officers,
were transferred to the Guido and the
privates to the Ambrosio Bolivar, two
other trophies of the first week Of the
war that are still lying in the harbor
The Argonauta herself, is no mean
prize but the value of the capture lies
mainly in the prisoners of war and the
mail matter going to Gen. Blanco. Her
cargo is general merchandise. with a
large quantity of ammunition and sup
plies for the Spanish troops in Cuba.
The only other incoming prize today
was the little fishing schooner Antonio
Paco, taken by the gunboat Newport
Off Maria yesterday, and towed in by
the gunboat Castine.
The Castine has proved her prowess,
as well as Cne more re0OuDtaDle ships
Of the squadron. At 8 o'clock Sunday
morning she went into Cabanas and
anchored only about a mile from the
Notifications, which are sort of COM
posite of fortress and block houses.
Then she sent her steam cutter in,
about half a mile, until 1t was within
thousand yards of the fort. There an
officer made soundings and observations
for half an hour or more, after which
they returned to the ship unmolested.
A number of persons were clearly OBJ
served about the fort. They watched
the operations with apparent interest
and offered no hostile sign.

that the vehicle and furnishings had cos

''And you wait until we get the next one

The present one is arranged so that Gus

any number can be fed on the outside.
The young man said Mr.. Buckley had as
