 SUBJECTED TO A RIGID
 ANALYSIS

 pursuant to your request have bought in the open market (from the Murray Drug Co., an original package of five gallons of Coca-Cola Syrup, bearing the label of "The Coca-Cola Co, At 1anta, Ga.," and have subjected the same to careful analysis.
 The object of this investigation be- ing to establish the presence or ab- sence of cocaine, and possibly of other injurious alkaloids. I operated on quantities of three to five times the amount contained in a bottle of the cRxbonated beverage The extractions of the syrup were repeated until the alkaloids were entirely removed. and different immiscible solvents were us- ed on different portions. The crys- talline substance thus obtained was further separated by fractional extrac- tions, after which 1t was concentrated and tested. Since this concentrated product, which would contain all of the cocaine. failed to respond to the tests for cocaine, 1t is clear that the allkaloid is absent, or, if present at all, then in quantities too minute to allow of detection, The active con- stituent of Coca-Cola Syrup proved to be caffeine. and in quantities seeming ly less than In q cup of good coffee or tea.
 There was no evidence of the pres ence of other alkalolds.

 DECISION.
Early Rise Tn Prices Was Lost Before the Close - Operators Took Profits On Almost Every
 Advance.

New York, March 2T.--The stock market showed a buoyant upshot in prices with the resumption of opera ticns today. Uncovered bears were thoroughly alarmed over yesterday upturn of prices and more confident speculative sentiment was manifest In all securities markets today. They bought heavy and advanced their bids rapidly to secure stocks against con- tracts of sales made while the course of the market seemed to prompt in in- definite further decline.
 The rapid advance brought out stocks from yesterdays buyers to take prof its and there was a sharp and almost immediate reaction. First gains Tn American SmeIting reached { 3-4.

 The early rise In prices was rather more than lost during the day by the Increasing disposition to take profits on the advance which was already manifest almost immediately after the outset. Prices got considerably higher than the opening at one time but from that level the fall was quite steady. The weakness of Erie which was unex- plained, helped on the reaction by sym pathy.
 The belief that the stock exchange authorities intended to close the ex- change from Thursday until Monday heightened the inclination on the part of operators to take profits and to reduce their outstanding commitments.

A PIABLE CASE.

One of the mos intensely pitiabls
stories we have ever read is that
little dispatch from Pittsburg, Penn.
sylvania, the other day that told of a
woman lying On her death-bed with
no earthly possession save a beautiful
four-months-old baby. advertising the
child tor sale for $50, in order that
she might pay her physician, a drug
bill, and a debt for food. and so 20
beyond owing nc man. She had been
deserted by her husband three months
before and left destitute with the
baby.
AT the first blush the thought oil n
woman Offering her child for sale ua-
der any circumstances is almost too
horrible to contemplate with any calm
ness, but there is a thougih that oc-
ours 10 US IL connection with this story
OF human misery.
1t is one OF admiration for innate
honesty OF thai woman. SO all pervad-
ing her being that she was willing 10
sacrifice the only pleasure she could
have during her last few DAYS on earth
for it's sake.
She knew that she must soon die
and someone else would have to care
for the chuld.
Her creditors were willing to can
Gel the Indebtedness but that weman
mus thave so loved an honest nam
and must have so loved her child that
she thought the supremest service shn
could render it would be to leave il
free from the stain of debt or the Oh
legation of charity.
The wOman's love of honesty was So
great hat it impelled her to the )it-
terest sacrifice a woman could mako
under th conditions.
There is a practical side to the thing
too.
Here was a woman dying, with a
child to be turned over to the mercies
Of the world. OF course she would
want the person who cared for the
little one to do so for the love of 1t.
What better proof of any ones desire
for the infant than that they should
be willing to pay for its possession?
Looking at the peculiar situation
from these standpOints, we take off
our hat to hat dying woman in Pitts
burg as to one of natures queens, de-
voted mother, honorable citizen and
practical woman.-Raleigh Times.

THE SOUTHERN MAN.

A contributor to The North American
Review. who signs himself National
Democrat" submits what is regarded
in the north as the strongest argument
that has yet been made for the nOni-
nation by the Democratic party OF a
Southern man for president next year.
Ne contends hat while the strength
# the republican party is confined to
the north, the democratic party is
strong in both sections, though in re-
cent years the bulk of b electoral
votes have come fnom the south. IL
sixty years he remarks no southern
democrat has been elected to the pres
idency and it has been forty-seven
years since that party has made a
southern man its candidate, hence he
argues that by custom n proscrlp-
ton it has come about that the men
of one-half the union are excluded
from the hOnOrs Of the chief maglS-
tracy which he regards as a practSce
denounced by reason, repugnant to
justice and opposed by considerations
of the highest public welfare is sus-
tanned by In outwDrn sanction" there
fore he declares it is time to make Aa
end of it.
AS to how the north would regard a
southern man, he says that he is con-
WINGED that it would answer heartily
i'll the affirmative if he should be ask
ed il the southern people have not
expiated the errors Of the past by al
most half a centure of renunclatloH
and p%ertinently adds:

complete reconstruction OF The south

If that is a good argument now 1t
Will be a good argument a hundred
years hence. Why longer have pa
ticnce with 1t?
w eagree with the New Orleans
States that there are many in the
south who believe that time is now
and that the democratic party could
not be beaten any worse with a south
ern candidate than it was under the
leadership of Bryan or Parker, while
it might do better.
AT any rate it is argued that it
would break a precedent which has al
ready existed too long, and pave the
way for future campaigns on other
lines.-Raleigh Times.

A FORECAST

Az has been recently mentioned,
Mrs. Carrie Nation has nominated
Governor Glenn as United States SEN
ator on the strength of his stand Tor
state prohibition. The Durham Her
aid Of sundey takes the occasion to
say:
1T is a well known fact that he Is
still anxious to be United States
tor and If the next legislature should
be composed of members, the major
ity of whom stand with the governor
on this question. a general election for
the state will in all probability be
called, or a state law passed without
submitting the question to the people
We believe that is about as r a po-
litical forecast As any we have yet
seen.-Charlotte Chronicle.

And while pot liquor is not so exhil~

not increase the heat of the blood n

over, it does not make MEN fight, quote

them into the police court or on the
rock pile and leaves no sting behind.
