Articles Found in the Presidents Pock-
cts Day of Assassination.
The presidents clothes, which were
removed at the Exposition hospital,
were sent to the Milburn residence,
where the pockets were emptied. In
his right-hand trousers pocket was
$1.8O in currency. With these coins
was a small silver nugget, well worn,
as if the president had carried it for a
pocket piece for long time. Three
small penknives, pearl handled, were in
the pockets Of his trousers. Evidently
they were gifts that he priced and was
in the habit of carrying all three of
them. They were simple knives, with
no ornamentation Another battered
coin, presumably a pocket piece, was
in the left hand pocket.
The presidents wallet is well worn
black leather one, about four inches by
five and half inches in size. 1t was
not marked with his name or other
Identification. In this wallet were some
bills, amounting to $45. A number ol
cards, which evidently had rested in
the wallet for some time, were in one
of the compartments. They were not
examined.
In a vest pocket was a silver shell
lead pencil. Three cigars were found
They were not the black perfectos

Morphine Habit Growing in England

Even the Arab does not lie so per-
sistently as does the morphia victim.
All sense of honor deserts her. Where
as, perhaps, formerly she was serupu-
lous in money matters, she rapidly be-
comes little less than a thief. If she
is hard up, in order to buy drugs she
will invent the most elaborate and
plausible stories, and screw money out
Of the unsuspecting. There is no doubt
whatever that drug taking is enor-
mously on the increase. No one who
has ever witnessed the rapid deteriora-
ton, both in appearance and in char
acter, which inevitably follows from it
can hesitate to call it one Of the most
frightful curses of modern days.-The

Germany Laggard In PubILe Hyglene

In a recent lecture at Hamburg, Dr.
Bonnie lamented the fact that in mat
tiers of hygiene Germany was still sey
eral decades behind England. In tn
years 1840-188O England converte
rivers into sewers, and then began t
change them back into rivers at grea
cost. Germany is still doing what Eng
land did until 20 years ago.
