lowered into the grave prepared for it in
Cumberland Cemetery, Media, yesterday
afternoon, cyclone cloud descended
upon the burying ground lO0yards away
from the grave and approached with a
loud roaring and cracking noise to with
in about half that distance. Many oil

had whirled away was the service con-
tinued.

FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. 8, 1901.

CASE which has attracted coDslder-
oble local attention was disposed OF this
morning in the Police Court. A drug
gist was arrested several days ago for the
unlawful sale of cocaine, and the dis
position of the case was postponed I'M
iii this morning. The accused was ar
raiqned at the hour designated and the
charge having been amply proven,
heavy fine was imposed upon him. For
some time the people of this State have
been considerably exercised concerning
the use of this pernicious narcotic, and
their representatives have endeavored 10
restrict its use by the enactment OF laws
imposing heavy fines upon persons who
engage in its unlawful sale. The in
dividual who was in the Police Court
this morning had, it seems, engaged IN
the traffic in the face Of both CITY
and State laws. The plea OF DIS
counsel that the city law took a
larger scope than that OF the State, and
was consequently inconsistent, was not
viewed through the same lenses by the
pol;ce Justice. The use of cocaine IS
serious menace to the weil-beingot the en-
tire country. The practice is spreading
NI.r
TO an alarming extent, debauching the
bodies and souls of those who have con-
tracted the appetite. The main witness
in the case this morning was a young
woman who having reached the cross
roads of ife took the left hands OF her
admirers. and who doubtless relies upon
stimulants and narcotics to dull the
nancs of a conscience which sooner or
later will assert itself. Many of those
addicted to cocaine are OF the same
;lk black and white, and occasionally
some overt act is committed by
those who use it habitually. AL
most from beginning OF history
people have been using pernicious slim
ulants, narcotics, &c. As far back as
the Trojan war "nepenths" sorrow
dispelling drink, had become popular
The injunction, "Look not upon the
wine when it is red, when it giveth Its
color to the cup" is supposed by some to
refer to an ancient "dopes which when
put into the juice of the grape changed
its color and caused it to possess all the
power of modern "knockOut drops. "
The laws against the sale Of such per-
nicious compounds cannot be too severe
or more rigidly enforced

THE solid men of the country are no
longer alarmed by the attitude of the
democratic party upon the issues before
the people. They are satisfied both
with the platform adopted and the can
didate named at St. Louis. As con-
sequence the republican fat tryers are
finding hard sledging in collecting cam
paign funds. There is neither the
necessary enthusiasm nor alarm to COM
mel contribution. On the contrary,
thousands of steady going and independ
ent voters are of opinion that the most
salutary thing that couldpossibly happen
would be the defeat of the party in
mower,

ColorLine at Camp.

"There will be no colored soldiers in
camp at Manassas. At least there will
be none near where Georgia troops are
camped."
This statement was made by Governor
Terrell, in answer to. the question if
there would be any colored troops in
the same brigade with the Georgia
soldiers. For some reason or other no.
body knows how the report was started
several days ago that there would be a
colored regiment alongside the Georgia
soldiers.
As soon as the report became circu-
lated many of the soldiers who had
agreed to go to Virginia began TO notify
their commanding officers that there
would be very few men in the camp If
such a state of affairs was allowed. Gov
ernor Terrell took the matter up with
the authorities at Washington, and has
received the information that there VIII
only be one negro command at the en-
campment. and that will be in the Con-
necticut Brigade, and nowhere near the
Georgians.
.Tf any negroes were. to be camped
with our boys | would not give the men
permission to leave the State. l won I
stand for anything like that. The
Georgia men must he camped with
white soldiers, or they do not leave the
State"

A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION
sued a railroad combination and got a
Judgment against it which has had no
influence whatever upon the policy OF
railroad combinations. 1t has attacked
only one industrial trust, and that does
not seem to be aware of the fact; the beei
trust has never been affected by the injunc-
ton, and the tobacco trust seems never
to have heard of former Attorney General
Knox. But the last democratic admin
istration prosecuted two railroads and
two industrial combinations.

Hold Germany RESPONSIBLE.

The London Times insurance cores
pendent says "War risk rates were a
good deal sitter yesterday, as the two
Russian auxiliary cruisers which are
coming from the Baltic are a direct
menace to shipping using the Suez
route east. For the moment risks on
this side of the canal are attracting tn e
principal measure Of attention. Rein
surance of five guineas per cent. was
paid yesterday on British steamer two
davs ahead of the cruisers, which
steams about half their speed. II
neutral steamers are, however, captured
by these auxiliary cruisers, international
troubles may arise. Since they are ex.
German steamers, purchased and lifted
out since the war began, neutral coun-
tries whose shipping is harried Will
have claims against the German govern
ment precisely similar to the Alabama
claims against the United Kingdom.
II is impossible to believe the German
government did not know these steamers
were for the Russian service, since the
matter has been common knowledge for
months past in well-inlormed quarters.
"While CT per cent. has been paid for
war insurance on cargoes shipped by
British liners to Japan and e2 to CD
per cent. on cargoes of neutral steamers
loading at Antwerp, it must be pointed
out that many shippers will not pay
anything like these rates. The insur'
ance market is in a curious position.
1t is not seeking war risk business, and
those who want protection have got to
pay for it or carry the risks themselves. "
