THE DRUG HABIT.

Sooner or later the reformers of the
world have got to divert some of their
feverish antipathy to alcoholic stimu-
lants and consider calmly and intelli-
gently the drug evil" This is the con-
clusion reached by DR.. Ashbel P. Grin
nell of Burlington, VT, in a paper de-
voted to a review of the drug consump-
ton in his own state.
DR.. Grinnell finds that in the regular
drug stores and in 100 of the 172 gen.
eral stores of the state 100000 doses of
opium are sold every month. besides
what is dispensed in patent medicines
and by the physicians. These figures
would allow one and half doses of
opium to every man and woman in the
state who is over 81 years old every day
in the year. In reference, to the use of
liquor in Vermont. DR.. Grinnell quotes
from the ST. Adams Messenger as fol-
lows:
In II towns of Vermont. being the
only ones having legally authorized Ii
quor agencies, there was sold during the
last fiscal year $251 ,622 80 worth of IL

in the list. A little further calculation
from the above figures will show that
there was enough liquor sold in these II
towns mentioned to supply every man,
woman and child in the whole state of
Vermont with 70 cents worth of LIQUOR
for medicinal, mechanical or chemical
purposes. In some towns in the list the
medicinal needs for liquor were quite
large. as shown by the fact that nearly
u worth was consumed per capita
while the average runs between this
and 81, the majority being over 81. All
in all over one quarter of a million
dollars worth of liquor was legally re-

during the last decade is more than
coincidence and he calls attention to
the close relation of the drug habit and
criminal impulses. In considering a
solution of this problem DR.. Grinneli

AFTER MAGOON AGAIN CANE FROM ORIENT.

Bebecca Panee has brought a new
proceeding against her guardian, j. A.
Magoon, following the decision of the
Supreme Court to the effect that she
must remain under his guardianship as
a spendthrift This morning she filed
petition in the Circuit Court, asking
that Magoon be ordered to pay her an
allowance of $25 per week out of her
estate and that an order be made for
the payment of her attorney in such
sum as the court deems proper for his
services, not to exceed $4,000. She also
wants Magoon ordered to pay $1,000 out
of her estate for furnishings for her
new house, the furnishings to be such
as she may select and she asks that
Magoon be ordered to make a full
statement of all the property of hers
that he holds, and that she be given a
reasonable time" within which to OBJ
ject to such statement. A permanent
order of the court is asked, as to the
amount of income to be allowed her.

PANAMA HAT CRAZE.

The Panama hat craze brought a big
crowd to Morgan's auction rooms this
morning, where a sale of Panamas of
all grades was advertised. The hats
were there all right in different grades,
or at least with different upset prices
attached, which was about as much as
most of the crowd claimed to know
the difference in grades.
Among the crowd were some of the
retail hatters and haberdashers, but
they were not among the purchasers,
claiming that the prices obtained were
beyond the wholesale price.
Hats were offered at pretty nearly
every price from Sc to $50. Quite a
number were sold, though not nearly
all of the consignment. Among the
most active bidders were Chinese. Most
of the hats sold were sold at the upset
price, no one caring to bid above that
price.

THE DIVIDEND
POOL PRESENTED
PLANS FOR THE HAWAIIAN Sc
CURITIEs COMPANY EXPLAINED
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.

For three hours and a half this
morning the officers of c. Brewer &
Company were engaged in presenting,
explaining and elucidating the plans
for the organization of the Hawaiian
Securities Cimpany, to the stockhold-
ers of the four sugar plantations whose
stock is to be the basis of the new cor
poratiOn.
At $3.50 o'clock the stockholders of
Onomea assembled in the meeting room
of Brewer & Company to hear the mat
ter presented. In this corporation
Brewer & Company own within few
shares of a controlling interest, and
their friends own enough more to give
Brewer & Company the absolute control
of the corporation. A considerable
amount of the stock of Onomea is held
on the coast. Some of this was repre-
sented at the meeting, and some was
not
WaiHuku stockholders met next and
in this corporation Brewer & Company
own a controlling interest. Hawaiian
Agricultural Company stockholders
were the third to meet and Honomu
the last 1t was 1890 o'clock before
the Honomu meeting was over
The plan which has been published
in detail Is to form corporation to be
known as the Hawaiian Securities
Company under the laws of New Jer-
sey with a capital of $4,000, 600. That
the stock of this corporation is to be
exchanged for the stock of the four
corporations which held meetings this
morning, at ratios which it is believed
accurately adjust the relative value of
the various properties. This new cor
poration is to receive the dividends
paid by the several plantations whose
stock it owns and pay them out again
as dividends on it's own stock This
stock is half of it preferred seven per
cent non-cumulative dividend stock,
the other half common stock.
c. Brewer & Company has already
voted to organize and go into the new
corporation. 1t will with some of its
immediate friends own over sixty per
cent of the stock of the four planta-
tions so that the new corporation Will
own that amount when organized.
Other stockholders are to be given un-
til November Is to decide whether they
want to come in. The purpose of the
meetings this morning was to set the
proposal before the stockholders. The
several corporations themselves will
not vote on the proposition, as it is a
matter for each individual stockhold-
er to decide, and not for the corpora
ton.
The plan has been figured out in the
most detailed manner. Acreage, crops
dividends, expenses, earning capacity
of the four plantations have been re-
duced to a common basis so as to au-
nit of accurate comparison. Much ad-
miration was expressed for the way p
c. Jones had done this work. 1t vii
be published and submitted to the
stockholders. No objections to the
plan were raised. There was much
questioning and earnest discussion.

BILL POSTERS ARE
REAPING HARVEST
BUT THE MAN WHO PAYS THE
BILL HAS KICK COMING-BILLS
COVERED QUICKLY.

The political campaign has developed
war of bill posters. The gentlemen of
the paste brush are following one an
other about laying new posters over
each others work in a manner that
calls forth loud howls from the victims
who are the men who pay for the post
ing of bills.
Yesterday Col Mccarthy who is a
Democratic candidate and is one of
thosl in charge of the Democratic cam
paiGh generally, was surprised to see
some bills he had just had put up
covered over by rival bills. He hunted
up the bill poster, and informed him
that when a man paid for bill posting
he expected to see the bills on the walls
for an hour or so, at least. The new
ones were covered again with good
Bourbon bills, and Mccarthy was sat
isfied, but he kept a watch on them.
Il had lot of bills put up all over
the CITY," said the colonel, but they
We're all covered up the next day. 1t
doesn't do any good to pay for bill
posting like that. l don't know who
owns the various spaces, but 1 guess it
will be a good idea for people who pay
bill posters now to have an agreement
that the bills remain posted and un-
covered for a few days"
Yesterday Nigel Jackson started out
to oppose the bill-posting trust" there
being only one man in the business reg
ularly. Jackson went forth with paste
pot and brushes, and goodly supply of
Republican posters, and he decorated
with great freedom. Many of the
posters were for the Young Mems Re
publican club, which is to have meet
ing tonight at the Orpheum. This
morning Lorrin Andrews, president OF
the club, had large sized kick coming
because the bills were covered up
There seems to be too many in the
bill-posting business for the amount OF
space" said Andrews. "They ought
to get together and decide who owns
space, and paste in harmony"
AS the campaign progresses the num-
Der of candidates who want their names
posted increases, and there are some
| bits Of wall already covered with many
layers. The last man to get there wins
| the space.
