stores have ceased selling cocaine, and
drops and powders in which it is the chief
ingredient; but 1t has been impossible to
reach the lower grade establishments,
which sell the drug secretly, and the dealers
who peddle it. There have been several
arrests and prescott ions, but the business
is profitable enough to induce dealers to
take the risk, and the cocaine fiend is always
able to get his "coke" in some way or other.
The exhilarating or soothing effects
Of cocaine have brought other drugs into
Use among the negroes. Morphine, dig
tails and half a dozen other poisons are
slowly creeping into favor with them. I.
DIR. Hays, however, goes much further
than the 81 preventive measures. He holds
that those people should NOT be allowed TO
propagate their species, and suggests way.
He links. also, that it might be well TO
apply the same treatment TO criminals con-
victed three times of felony. He regards
these as mentally unsound and practically
luna,ics.
Such measure DR.. Hays recognizes
ns being slightly in advance Of the present
| generation, and therefore difficult to pass
in legislature. A similar measure was
! proposed before the Michigan Legislature
in 1897, and reported favorabIv but defeated
DIR. Hays thinks. all the sane, that great
deal could be done by agitating the matter
and getting the support OF the medical pro-
fession to his plan Such law will sooner
or later become universal, he predicts, but
, lust at present the world hesitates because
1t does not recognize tho great danger from
the growth of insanity and how rapidly
| and widely the disease is spreading.
DR. Hays will also appeal to the Legis-
lature TO remedy another abuse OF insanity.
He calls attention to the fact that the
Louisiana Insane AAylum has a large colony
Of insana murderers or homicidal lunatics.
One OF It's inmates mas killed three men, and
there arc number Of others who, II they
could aet out only for day, would kill the
Judge or the prosecutor who sent them TO
the asylum. j. would be an easy task Tor
one Of these desperate men, 50 the doctor
Ays, 10 got out Of tho asylum, for 1t 10 not .
prison. and he will accordingly recommend
10 the Louisiana Legislature 10 provide TOR
the confinement OF all lunatio murdsrsrs
IL the ponitentary, where they can bs bspt
safely under look and key
Altogether he believes that Legislatures
| throughout this country are not showing
| sufiioisnL courage In attacking the insa nifty
l problsn and that they are too much afraid
Of public opinion and prejudice

who hopes to manage them successfully
must be q man Of good habits. This Is
not entirely because a man under the in
auence OF liquor 10 likely to make some
careless mistake which may have a tragic
result. although that alone would be sum
ctent reason for temperance on the part Of

mot the least curious part OF this phe-
non O. on Ia that they seem to remember such
an occurrence with that strange tenacity
Of memory which animals have for anything
which has been strongly impressed upon
them. In almost every case where animals
have seen their trainer in the least degree
intoxicated his influence over them is
gone forever.
"The story Ia told OF man who used to
attend every performance OF a show where
a trainer placed his head in a lions mouth.
! When asked why he took such an interest

certain that some time the lion would bite

be CT hand it when it happened. In GER
tain d gree he showed an appreciation OF
wild animal nature. Sooner or later the
lion in question was certain to go bad,
ns it is called by showmen. The safety
of the trainer lay in the fact that he would
recognize the dawning symptoms OF this
change Of disposition In time to cut out
his act as far as that particular lion was
concerned.
in time almost every trained ANNA
goes bad, and the only thing to do il tc
withdraw him from the arena and keer
him behind the bars OF strong cage. But
even before this actual change OF disposi.
ton comes there is always danger that
some time the inherent SAVAGE nature OF
the animal will break through the super
fetal training implanted by man. The
fierceness Of nature, the blind rage, and thu
instant use OF claw or tooth are inherited
from thousands Of generations OF savage
ancestors and are too deeply implanted tc

speaking at a banquet at Saintes to
celebrate the Inauguration of a tram
way to the little town of St. Porchaire,
in the department Of Charente Inferi-
ure, which be represents in the SEN

the anti.elerical war to the bitter end,
and denounced the ~reactionaries who
now pretended to wave the banner of
liberty. He also spoke of the i'm
p~ortance of increasing the means Of
inter-communication as aiding the
spread of Republican principles.
The second speech was made by M.
Pelletan, minister of marine, at Cher
bourg, where he attended the launch
Of the armoured cruiser Jules Ferry.
He declared that the chiefs of the
navy must submit to the Republican
regime. He did not want the naval
officers to be taught by Dominican
priests that their swords were at the
service of ~clericalism, against the re.
public. Both ministers were much ap'
Dlaudad.

From a Sinking Steamer.
Indianapolis, Aug. 24.-Amid scenes
of panic in which terror-stricken men
lost their heads and sought to throw
women and children overheard, the
pleasure steamer Indiana went to the
bottom of thu indianapolis Water com
pany's canal at Fairview park Sunday
evening.
The park officials think nobody a
drowned, but ]. N. Oliphant of Indian
| arolis and F. E. Belts of Anderson,
Ind, who were passengers, say that
they saw a woman with a baby sink to
the bottom. They did not see them
come to the surface again and feel
sure the two were drowned.
About fifty people were on board
| when the vessel sank. about three.
quarters of a mile above it's starting
point in the canal, which is about
eight miles long and runs from In
d%ianapolis to Broad Ripple park. The
canal is narrow and from ten to f1f-
teee feet deep in the middle. 1t is
not yet certain what sent the steamer
to the bottom. Defective machinery,
overlooking on one side, and leaks are
! blamed.
Skiffs on the canal aided the work
of rescue of fainting women and chill
dren. Mr.. Belts. who says he saw the
woman and baby drown. saved his
wife as she sank the third time. She
weighs over 200 pounds.
Thirty persons were thrown into
the water when the boat sank. Sew
eral of the male passengers did heroic
work in getting them to shore. They
were aided by the ships crew. Much
additional excitement was caused by
several men on the boat who became
panic. stricken and tried to throw wo-
men and children into the water.
Search is being made to see if any
bodies are at the bottom Of the canal.
