RISE IN PRICE OF DRUGS.
Result Of Monopoiics AMI the South
African War.

To the alleged monopoly OF the chem
ical trusts and in part to the conflict In
South Africa Is attributed the pronounc-
cd increase in the price of many standard
drugs which have shown such decided
tendency to bound upward during the
last few weeks that sickness has become
a luxury in New York, and n similar con
dition of affairs is reported from other
parts OF the country. Cocaine, quininc,
aqua ammonia, fluid extract Of crgot and
iodidc of potassium. for all of which
there is large and constant demand,
have all advanced in price since Feb. i.
Cocaine has doubled IN value. while fiuid
extract of crgot. which few weeks ago
could be had for $3.50, now brings ~ Il
pound at retail. This is said to be due
to a scarcity of dry crgot in South At
RIGA because of bad crops. The price of
carbolic acid has almost doubled, which
Is due to the fact that the chemical Is
used SO extensively In the making of lyd-
ditc shells that England has placed ban
upon its expectation. Other drugs have
gone up In proportion.

Either there is an influx of hard cases

year there is about this time what is
popularity called an epidemic" or
carnival of crime" Men and women
are stopped on the streets and forced
by threats of violence to give up their
property. The community takes alarm,
asserts that there never was so much
crime before, and denounces the police
force for it's inefficiency.

few miles from Boston. This old
house was built by one Jonathan Fair

been the Mecca of hundreds OF pill
gr1mS interested in the architecture Of
more than $50 years ago. 1t is easy to
people the house with the ghosts of
the men and women who have lived
and died beneath its roof. One regrets
that so little is known about the his
tory of the old house. but no written
history could ada to the picturesque
ness of its appearance. Generation
after generation of the Fairbanks fam
lily have occupied the old house. In
deed, it has never been occupied by
any one but descendants of its builder.
