The slot machines have a foe now in
the Retail Druggists Association.
The city itself. il will be remembered,

gists at meeting early next week,
and something will be done then.
Mr.. T. L. Anderson. one Of the men,
bers of the druggists organization,

be put out Of business, if possible. The
fight was brought on, he says, by the
cigar stands threatening TO have the

public has never heard Of this alleged
threat, but Mr.. Anderson says he I'M
derstands the cigar people were pre-
pairing to try and do something on this
line.
Mr. Anderson says the keeping open

The druggist does not know what
plan will be pursued to break them
up. but he does say there is no doubt
that something will be done at the
meeting next week.

From the New York World.
The transfer of Hannah Elias from
her cell in the Mercer Street Police Sta
tion to the Centre Street Court and
the proceedings there furnished a Sc
ries of exciting incidents almost unique
in the criminal history of New York
Fully 10000 persons, many of whom
had waited in the streets for hours to
get sight of the woman, saw her or
made efforts to see her as she was
hurried across town in a closed coupe
and many heads were broken by po-
lice detailed to force a way for her
through the crowds. There were scenes
of riot at the station house, at the en-
trance to the Court House and at the
gates of the Tombs.
1t was all over a short, thick-set
chocolate-colored negress in costly but
gaudy finery, who looked on with con-
tempt a. her guardians struggling to
protect her from the insults of the
mob When finally the prohFbitive bail
had been fixed and she was led to a
cell in the section set apart for women
of her race in the Tombs, the woman
on whom a man had lavished a great
fortune removed her Jacket and hat,
and then her pudSy figure, her thick.

last week tried to end her life by TAX

proving unsuccessful Monday morn
ing she took a small dose of laud-
AMIN, but her husband, who was sus-
picious that she intended to commit
suicide, discovered that she had taken
the poison and telephoned for doctor
whose prompt assistance saved life.
On Tuesday she again attempted to
end her life and again she was unsuc-
cessful. This time she swallowed
about two ounces Of preparation of
opium, but she was discovered in time
and given strong emetlcs. No reason
has been given for the desperate act,
but on several occasions she has told

to end her life and the two unsuccess-
full attempts have caused great excite
