soldiers during the past year. In some
| cases men who were in the hospitals in
Cuba and Porto Rico used as much as
300 grains II week, and hardly any have
failed to use the drug ut some period Of
their service. 1t is stated that the peo-
pie Of this country consume one-third
Of the quinine Of the world, the drug
being used in the preparation Of many
patent medicines, tonics, bittcrs, cold
cures, etc, as well as in pills and in
bulk, and a considerable quantity is
consumed in the manufacture of hair.

The official figures in the treasury
burca Of statistics show that there were
imported last year into the United
States $50, ,056, $50 grains of quininc,
and us there was practically no export
Of this article, this means that the con-
sumption Of quininc was about twenty
grains for each inhabitant. AS is we'll
known, quininc, Peruvian bark and
calisaya bark arc the products Of the
cinchona tree, which is native of
Western South America, more partic-
u'arly of Peru and Ecuador. Now,
however, but q small part OF the supply
comes from that region. AT present
twO-thirds Of the quinine consumed is
produced in Java from cultivated trees.

ly this WAS accomplished and large
number Of specimens Of the different
varieties were obtained by botanists,
who took them to Java in 1852. The
English Government also started Gin

Two Women Sabbed for Assnuiting
the Alleged Thief.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon Patrol
man LANCE arrested James Beasley- col
ored, for the larceny Of a watch from c.
L. Hnlsman, a guard on the chain-gang,
and Josephine Jackson and Jessie Smith,
her daughter, for assaulting Beasley. The
elder woman was charged with firing at
Beasley with a pistol ana the daughter
for throwing stones at him. Behind Inc
arrests lies a somewhat complicated story.
Ii seems that Hllsman and Beasley
went 10 the womans house at All William
son street, west, at about 10 O'Clock IN the
morning. and Hillsman being somewhat
over excited from the use OF the cup that
cheers and does other things, lay down ana
went 10 sleep. Soon afterwards Beasley
departed and had not been gone very IONS
before il was discovered that Hiilsmah
watch had also departed at about the same
time. The Jackson woman went out III
search of a detective, but did not succeed
in finding one and returned 10 her home.
At O'Clock Beasley returned, and was
accused by EIilsman of having stolen his
watch. Beasiey denied the charge, ana
heated alteration at once ensued. AS
Beasley came out of the house, the woman
met him and also demanded that he return
the watch to H!lsman, as its loss Ia her
house would endanger her own reputa-
ton for honesty. Beasley rejoined that II
he had the watch, he had, and 10 this per-
fectly unanswerabIe argument the woman
could find nothing TO say.
She continued, however, to demand the
return of the watch, and finally had Beas-
ley wrought up to fine pitch of excite
ment. lie insisted in passing and finally
struck her several times in the chest and
face. She ran into the house and came out
with a revolver. and with this fired five
shots at her assailant, her daughter in the
meantime bombarding him with stones
Between the two they drove him from the
house Shortly after Patrolman Lange
came up. arrested the whole bunch and
sent them to the station house in the
wagon. The two women were bonded out
