The youth who administered the in
lection was recently detected admins
tering injections to two young con-
verts.
The mother of another victim re-
Gently issued an appeal asking Offend
ing druggists not to sell her boy NOR
phine, but 1t was unheeded. The dis
trict attorney has not taken action in
the matter for the reason that Repre-
sentative Kayler's bill failed to become
a law. 1t is said certain manufactur-
ers feared that 1t would interfere with
the sale of medicines which contains
morphine in order to induce sleep. This
is the reason that Mayor Geise urged
instead of commanded the druggists
not to sell any morphine without a
prescription. 1t has been learned that
a prominent young member of the bar
is a morphine fiend, and has been re-
ceiving injections yer since he was
initiated into the habit. One morphine
iend takes the drug in any shape he
car get it. If he cannot get 1t inject
ed with a syringe he will chew 1t or
dissolve it in wine.
Since the druggists here have refused
to sell the drug except upon the pre-
scription of a reputable physician, the
morphine tends have been writing to
their friends and druggists in other
places for morphine, and in this way
some have secured it. Several opium
joints have been discovered in this
city, one of them being kept by a
Chinaman. The charge for injections
or pipes of opium is so cents. Since
Mayor Frank Geise issued his procla-
nation these joints have been closed,
and are afraid to reopen. Several drug
gists, who have been in the habit OF
giving standing prescriptions for NOR
phine, have also been restricted.
Robert Noll, who administered NOR
phine by injection a year ago to young
Henry Ross, who died from an over
dose a few days ago, is a fugitive from
Justice. He was indicted for furnish
ing liquor to young girls, but jumped
his bail. Some of the fends have dis
covered that some alleged headache
cures contain large quantities Of NOR
phine, and they are buying these RENE
dies as a substitute for the drug. One
Of the saddest cases here ia that of a
mother and daughter, both Of whom
are victims of the drug.

an extraordinary week. II was the Gus
tomary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however.
does not always tell the story of pros
perity. The number OF weeks employed
each year IL the determining factor In the
wage earners' prosperity. The Douglas
factory has been closed but one week
this year, and that for the usual summer
stock taking, and IL will be closed but
three days the latter part OF December.
This would make but nine days out OF
the year that the factory Is closed, which

1t IL believed that the average pay and
the number of days worked Is larger at

The reply came rather shortly.
"Why, of course. Do you suppose

She withdrew her arm Immediately
but her face dropped with disappolnt-
ment and her lips trembled. Her lover
moved ~uneasily, but she recovered her
self at once.

two weeks, and l dare say it will be

THAT would be impossible" she
quietly returned, and then she gave
him her hand in parting. He avoided
her eyes, the hurt look in them was
more than he could bear, but he took
the little trembling hand in his, and
stopped to kiss her. "Good-by, dear,

A STRANGE EPIDEMIC.
MORPHINE HABIT INFECTS A
WHOLE CITY.
Whole Families Are Ruined by Sound
rcls Who Supplied the Drug to Wives
and DaugI tiers, Leading Them to
Destruction.

A correspondent at York, Pa, tells
4 series of sensational stories about a
remarkable epidemic that he says has
taken root there. He writes as follows:
A morphine epidemic has brought
shame and ever death to the homes
Of prominent people in this city, and
1t continues to grow, despite the fact
that individuals. who are just begin
ming to indulge in the drug, almost
daily see the shame and disgrace
brought Upon their friends, who have
fallen victims to this dreaded habit.
That morphine has separated several
men from their wives is undoubtedly
true. In the last court here women
formerly reputable, were proven guilty
OF immortality, and DEGREES of divorce
were granted to their husbands upon
statutory grounds. 1t is now a well es-
tablished fact that these women were
led to their ruin by men who first piled
them with morphine. Another NOR
phine fiend is on the verge of collapse.

and night, he has bought her extrava-
CANT presents, he has done everything
to please her except write to her, and
he can hardly wait 1or his meeting
with her. He gets his overcoat on, his
grip in hand, he scorns the assistance
of the porter, and before the train has
fairly ceased it's motion he steps down
to the platform of the station. He
sends a telegram to Margaret o
ing his arrival, and hen takes a cab
to his hotel, giving the cabman an ex-
ira to hurry, so anxious he is to make
the necessary changes in his toilet and
get to his fiancee. He fairly runs up
the stairs to his room. and finds a note
under the door. From her? No, from
her brother.
MY Dear Fellow: We are so sorry
we haven't your address and cannot
send for you Margaret, of course,
must know where you are, but for
some reason she declines to tell us.
Probably it is to spare lot the pain
of parting for Margaret is dying. She
took cold the day o left and the ILL
ness rapidly developed into pneumo-
mia. The doctor gave us almost no
hope from the beginning. and tonight
says we must expect the worst. He
thinks she will hold GU a couple or
days longer, and we are all hoping
that some chance will bring you home
before she goes. | send this to your
hotel that it may reach you the instant
you arrive. Come to us at once If you
would see Margaret alive. Very truly
yours, JACK LELAND.

ADDRESS Alien ,. OlmSted, IeHOy, N. Y.
There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
umore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at M~artinsburg, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
hcial of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old en-
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men Of Genl Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
BALTIMORE and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out Of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived In Martinsburg On August Is,
1851, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
INC turnpike, eltner 10 VIII
chester or Strasburg, land there are
some historians who disagree on this
point 80 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were a%fterward used in the
| Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely billy and the
work of getting the engines owe the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
OF the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered n, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class Of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only n eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
| DortatiOn.
