Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-10-29

DR.. H. A. Hare has recently been
experimenting with the treatment sug-
gested by Lott of the drug habit. 1t
consists of large and repeated doses
of hyoscine. He found that the pa
tients could take as much as one
quarter of a grain each day without
any dangerous effects. They suffer
very little discomfort from the with
drawal of the morphine and the de-
sire for the drug very soon disappears.
He reports several cases in which he
has used the drug with marked sue
cess. One of his patients-not only
a slave to morphine but also of alco-
hol-is at present rapidly progressing
toward permanent cure. Hyoscine
is sedative and hypnotic. 1t is OBJ
tanned from henbane and occurs as
thick colorless syrup.

DECAYS W0RKMEN'S TEETH.
Injurious Eject Of the 8ulphuric Acid
Fumes ON Men Who Handle
9t0Page BatterieD.

Calculated to arouse wonder and
perhaps excite the curiosity Of the
medical and denta. professions were it
generally known is the fact that the
teeth of the men who handle the stor-
age batteries of the Thirty-fourth
street cross-town cars in New York
rot from the effects of the acid
fumes which arise from the batteries
as they are charged, while apparently
no other ill effects are felt. Twelve
men work in the two pits at the power
house in West Forty-second street, in
which the storage batteries from the
cars are recharged and restored to the
cars. Sulphuric acid and water form
the proportions of these batteries, and
when they are charged with an electric
current they exhale clouds of vapor
or fumes which are strongly impreg-
mated with sulphuric acid. It is these
fumes, the men say, which cause their
teeth to decay so rapidly, even in such
short space of time IS three months.
Save for causing soreness of the skin,
the fumes apparently do them no
other harm and have no effect on their
lungs, though they cannot help but in
hale the acid-charged fumes. Even the
men who work over the pits on the out
side show decaying teeth and say in
that respect that it is just as bad to
work over the pit as it is inside it.

SULTAN REVIEWS CAVALRY.
Ruler OF Morocco 81 Participant in u
Gorgeous Scene at His Palace
Mt MarAkOxh.

A dispatch from Marakosh (city Of
Morocco) to the London Times and
New York Times describes review of
some thousands OF regular cavalry by
the sultan.
The review took place in the great
square of the palace, inclosed by high
turreted white and yellow walls, above
which appear the gorgeous green roofs
of the palace and the tops of olive,
palm and cypress trees, while tower
ing beyond are the snow-clad Atlas
mountains.
On the sultan's approach two bands
played and hoarse shouts of may God
prolong the life of our Lord!" rent the
air. The sultan was mounted on \
gray horse, with rose silk trappings
Overhead was the imperial red velvet
umbrella, crowned with a golden orb
His majesty was dressed in pure white
flowing garments.
The square was filed with wild gal
Looping horsemen dressed in white,
with colored saddles. They presented
a most picturesque appearance.
The ceremony is regarded as a sure
sign of the sultan's intention to leave
Marakosh shortly for the north of
Morocco.

JEALOUS OF AMERICAN GIRL.
Massachusetts Young Lady Re-
tire from the Country.

The royal opera is the latest Ger
man enterprise to protest against the
"American peril" Resenting the hit
recently made by Geraldine Farrar, an
1s-year-old Massachusetts, girl, which
resulted in her securing three years
contract, several jealous prima DON
mas, foreseeing the possibility of SUI
perannuation, are proceeding to make
Miss Farrar's position among them un-
tenable.
One middle-aged songstress, Marga-
rita by name, announces that she will
not sing on the same stage with "Amer-
lean upstarts." Miss Farrar is en-
deavoring to ignore her detractors, but
as these jealous-minded ladies have
considerable influence. they may un-
dermine her with the management
The situation recalls the experience
of Mrs. Webster-Powell last year. In
spit of her successful debut and ad-
mitted ability that singer was subject
ed to such systematic persecution by
her colleagues that she was forced into
paying the management $4,000 marks
($2,816) for the privilege of canceling
her contract

The Duluth News Tribune editor
lalist has evidently at some period
in his life had time hang heavily
upon his hands, and by way of
amusement sat and figured out that
all politicians are not averse to the
sale of their souls as we'll as the
rights of their constituents, as evi.
denced by the following thrust at
the proposed extra session, cast at
any member of the Minnesota leg
islature to whom it may seem ap-
propriate:
at is such an agitation as THE
that rejoices the Legislative graft
er's soul, and waves before his eyes
the vision of opulent and unholy
gains. Doubtless there exist al
ready, on mere rumor of an extra
session, rough drafts of a dozen
bills, framed by experts in financial
anatomy, for the purpose of "pull-
ing Jim Hills leg" The extra SEES
sion, if there be one, will be the last
chance of horde of political bank
rupts to replenish depleted pockets,
and shall they not take full advant-
age of the opportunity that fortune
filings in their way?"

LOST MINE rs FOUND.
Believed ''Ninety- Nine'' Silver Nine
Of Catskills II Again Located. &; .
J. .. Poole, . Mining Expert, Has
discovered . Gave in Heart Of :.
Shawang1nk Mountains Which ::
He Thinks Leads to Nine. !:

After being lost for IS years, the
''Ninety-nine" silver mine, once ia:
nous through the whole Catskill
range, has been found again, says the
New York Tribune. At least that il
the belief of J. o. Poole, mining ex-
pert, who is said to live in Trenton,
N. J. He has discovered a cave in the
heart of the Shawangunk mountains
not far from Ellenville, Ulster county,
N. Y, which exposes wide vein of Pc
culiar ore. Numerous assays show
heavy value in silver, lead and other
minerals. Every effort has been made
to keep the discovery secret until
mineral rights to the surrounding
mountain property could be pur~
chased. Poole and the New Jersey
men who are backing him are said to
have secured such rights on more than
5000 acres, and are preparing to start
active mining operations. The story
OF the accidental discover y of the
mines was brought to this city from
Kingston. Judge A. r. Clearwater,
of Kingston, returned from Ellenville
a few days ago and brought some
specimens of the ore. Judge Clear
water said: "A few weeks ago, while
tramping through the hills, Poole no.
ticed what seemed to be groupings of
silver and copper-bearing ore at the
base of the Shawangunks. He fol-
lowed up the lead and made extensive
excavations, with the result that he
found a cave or opening in the noun
tains from which he says he has since
taken large quantities of almost pure
lead ore, as we'll as quartz. which bears
silver and zinc in large proportions"
The mine takes it's name from a
Wawarsing Indian named Neopakip-
tic, but better known as Ninety-Nine.
The Indian lived near Sockanissing,
and was accustomed to come among
the settlers of the valley with chunks
of almost pure lead and silver, which
he exchanged for provisions. He said
that he dug the ore in cave in the
friend, Ben De Puy, succeeded in per-
suading Ninety-Nine to lead him to the
cave with eyes tightly bandaged. De
Puy returned with tales of a wonder
fully rich ledge. He did not succeed
in finding the mine again, however, and
died with his secret I'M
told. About 50 years ago two west
ern prospectors, it is said, appeared
in the mountains, accompanied by a
Wisconsin Indian. They were pro-
vided with Indian maps and diagrams.
They searched for several weeks with
out success and finally returned to the
west. Since that time no systematic
search has been made, and recently
the story has been regarded in the
light of pretty legend. !

Those Sensitive Engish Actors.

no doubt about the matter. In the

HE Duluth Herald has been do
ing some "fggerin" on the state tax
proposition, and finds that St. Lou
is county, with one-twenty-one of
the population pays one-thirteenth
of the taxes" The Herald is also
grieved at the fact that St. Louis
is called upon to pay enormous adj
dltional sums to the state in the
form of gross earning taxes and
mineral leases and royalties. But
at any time the burden becomes too
heavy for the Duluth hogs to carry
they can rid themselves of the en-
tire "tax" embodied in the last item
by voting to make of the iron ranges
new county. We will accept the
"burden" with becoming grace, and
shoulder our share of the county
debt as we'll, in order to rid our
selves of the opprobrium attaching
from living in the same county with
the disreputable set of county graft
ers and political pick-pockets who
infest the Zenith City.

NO SKYSCRAPER FOR LONDON.
The County Council Refuses to Lease
Site for the Big Block for
800 Yearx,

The Anglo-American scheme for
big Office building in London was a
much-talked-of matter in that city. 1t
was thought from the tanner in which
the announcement was made and from
the nature of the London Times editor
ial that the project was finally set
tied. But at the London county coun-
Gil the whole story was declared to be
moonshine.
1t apparently originated in the fact.
that an application was made for a
large block of ground facing the Strand
by an Anglo-American syndicate. but
it was refused point blank. The Of
ficers of the county council say that
they will not grant the lease of any
such large block to any single indi-
vidual or syndicate. They have not
even seen the architectural drawings
of the proposed block as described in
the statement published by the Times.
Frederick B. Esier, of New York. who
is a prominent member of the syndi-
cate, is understood to represent large
American interests.
