LAUDANuM DRINKERS.
Evils of Opium Habit in England
 Practiced to Alarming Extent.

Members of parliament have been engaged in discussing and condemn ing the opium traffic of India and China, while corresponding evil within our own shores is passed over without notice. The Orientals smoke opium; thousands of persons in Eng land, male and female, drink 1t in the form of laudanum which is simply a tincture prepared by dissolving the drug in dilute alcohol.
 In many of our large towns and fin certain agricultural districts lauda- mum drinking is practiced to an alarm ing extent. Laudanum Is poison scheduled in the pharmacy act, but a chemist may supply any quantity to an individual who gives plausible ex- planation of the purpose for which 1t is required.
 A provincial chemist of wide experi- ence has stated that he supplied sever al men and women with three ounces of laudanum daily. What consti- tutes a fatal doseT" he was asked. "A drachm. or teaspoonful. has been knOWH tO cuuSe uedtH AHu yet sou are permitted to sell three ounces without medical auth0rity'r
 He shrugged his shoulders. 'Iauda- mum is commercial article, and may be sold indiscrimlnately. It is retail ed at ? 1-2d and 3d per ounce. and is thus placed within reach of the poor est class of the community. A con scientious druggist might refuse to serve an applicant if he had reason to believe the drug was to be used for other than medicine purposes. but his business would suffer. and the victim of the opiate habit would be able to gratify his desire elsewhere.
 The majority of laudanum drink CTS" he continued. 'are women of the lower class. The habit may originate in cases of severe pain or insomnia the taste may he acquired. as with al- eohol. or transmitted hereiditarily."
 Inquiries among retail chemists in London show that the practice is not such an evil in the metropolis IS in the provinces. particularly in Hncoln- shire and Cambrfdeshire. where the marshy ground subjects the inhabit- ants to ague.

FRESH AIR TOWERS.

Dr Scheri. a well-known physician here and an authority on hy- giene. has made a singular propos- al to the Berlin Town Council. which this body Is now considering. Dr scherl's proposal Is that the town council should build airy pavilions at several points of the city at about 1s0 feet above the level of the streets These pavilions would be supported on strong steel frames and reached by elevators Their purpose IS to afford rest and refreshment and good sir to citizens weary of the madden ing noises. the unrest and the norious smells of the streets
 There would De plenty of seats up fin thoee airy paviIlions. plenty of fovers. good beer. lemonade. water, music and other enioyments. As to the question of cust.

What an improvement organization can undertake and what it can do Is well exemplified by the record of the North Central Improvement associa- tion. of Chicago, which by special ar engagement with the city has official control of the east half of the Fist ward. It spent some s16,OO0 last year in keeping it's streets and alleys swept and garnished. It had 459 ac- tive members and is preparing to in crease its membership to 1000. It is experimenting with paving and has several streets under care to note quality of materials and is tackling the vacant lot problem. close watch being kept that unoccupied building sites are not turned into dumping grounds for refuse Some attempts have been made in landscape gardening under the advice of Superintendent warder. of Lincoln park.

Attorney General Moody's action in bringing suit to punish violations by railroads of the safety appliance law has hearty public commendation, says the New York World. In spite of the rapid adoption of safety meas ures by the better roads, the number of railroad employees killed rose from 1,693 in 1897 to 3,6S2, or more than double in 1904. The total number killed by railroads rose from 6.437 to 1O,O46. For every passenger killed in train accidents nine railroad men lose their lives, chiefly upon freight trains, and thirteen other persons are killed usually by being struck at grade crossings. Such crossings are fast be- ing changed by local action in the more progressive states.

EXPRESS COM
PANY'S POLICY
In Refusing to Transport Liquor Up
held by Federal Court.

KANSAS CITY, May 25.-Judge
Smith Mcpherson, in the United Sta
ties District Court here, today refused
to grant an injunction sought by the
Harvest King Distilling Company OF
Kansas City, which asked that the
American Express Company be re-
strained from refusing to transport
packages destined to Mississippi. Inc
express company, which had been
transmitting these packages up to May
10. then refused to further accept
them because of the passage OF the
recent Mississippi Legislature OF a To-
cal option law imposing a heavy nne
for such acts. 1t was stated that there
we're now 5000 packages of liquor In
Mississippi and if the express com
pany were to deliver these they would
be liable to fines aggregating $2,5OO,
GOO. Judge Mcpherson, in denying
the injunction, said that if he were &c
grant it it would result in $50 express
agents being thrown in jail.

TALE OF A COW AND A

FAYETTEVILLE, May 24.-Sam
Woodland, who resides near Bellville,
had a COW that got choaked. To relieve
her he used a broomhandle, and in
the operation broke off TN inches OF
the handle in the cows throat. OF
course he thought that quick death
would be the result of the accident,
but not so; the cow lived. Several
months afterwards he noticed knot
on the COWS side, and the next morn
ing one end of the piece of broom han
die was visible. In order that his
story might not be doubted he called
witnesses and removed the stick. The
COW still lives.

at a meeting of the property owners
of Chinatown, consisting of Max Gold

Yesterday with Mayor Schmitz, A.
Ruef and jeremiah Deneen. The prop
osition to locate the Chinese In the
district bounded by Sansome, Front
and Pacific streets and the water
front. which had been favored by the
Chinatown Location Committee, OF
which Ruef is Chairman, was brought
up by Deneen, who thought this more
desirable site for the Chinese than
their old quarters.
The property owners objected, how
ever. to any change. They pointed
out that the business of Chinatown
amounted to $3O,OO0,O00 during last
year and that nearly all of this money
was spent by tourists and visitors;
that Chinatown was one of the CHIEF
attractions for tourists and should be
considered a valuable asset OF the
town; that the Chinese paid theil
share of the municipal taxes and should
be permitted to locate wherever they
desired, and that the owners had the
right to rent their property to an!
tenant they choose, without let O
