HARGROVE AS A BUG BUYER
MUST PURCHASE GRASSHoPPER
SKELETONS FOR SCHOOLS.
Property Clerk Also Ordered to Supply
Bullfrogs and Rattlesnakes
for Pupils.

There are more troubles awaiting NJ o.
Hargrove, property clerk of the District
Yesterday he was up against the PROPOSE
ton of selecting and buying several hun
dred different styles and colors of hats
coats, dresses and other wearables for girls
and women at the different District correc-
tional and charity institutions. The diff
Guilty attending this task arises from the
fact that Mr.. Hargrove is young and IN
married. Today he is confronted with a
long requisition from the board of public
education for the purchase of anatomies
and skeletons of various kinds of bugs, in
sects, fish, frogs and snakes for use in the
biological departments of the high schools.
Mr.. Hargrove has studied good many
things, but he overlooked biology, and the
clerks in his department say he feels the
sting of this urgent duty more than he did
that of purchasing women's attire.
Like all good officials, he will do his best
and is busily engaged today trying to find
out where he is going to get off" The
most tormenting part Of this requisition
from the board of education Is that the
scientific names are used instead of the
common names, with the result that Mr..
Hargrove and his assistants have been
translating the list by means Of diction-
aries and authorities on biological subjects.
Grasahopper Skeletons.
Among some of the things Mr.. Hargrove
has thus far found he has to buy are sew
eral dozen grasshopper skeletons, a hun
dred bullfrog bodies and as many bullfrog
skeletons, dozen rattlesnake bodies and
half dozen rattlesnake skeletons, skele-
tons of humble bees, crawfish, and so on
1t may be easy matter for Mr. Har-
grove to buy these specimens, since he has
succeeded in transiating their names into
real English and there are several
dealers in these specimens in the District
but the requisit:on calls for a distinction of
the sexes of these bugs, etc. and Mr. Har-
grove will have to take the dealers word
for this point

CURSES LONG AND LOUD.
Hurled by Human Megaphone and
Aimed at Her Mother.

human megaphone appeared in the
Police Court this morning according to
the testimony of Policeman J. w. Jones
of the fourth precinct. 1t was Ida Lucas,
colored. who lives on street southwest
Policeman Jones said that when he went
within three blocks of Ida's place of abode
last night he heard her using perfectly
dreadful language.
Policeman Jones hit the pavement
about every ten feet in his journey over
the three blocks, and when he reached the
scene of the commotion he found, he tes-
titled, that Ida was burling the profane
pyrotechnics at her mother. Ida was soon
on her way to the station house
Ida had no trouble in making Judge
Bundy hear her story, when the case was
called in the Police Court, and she blamed
her mother for all the ruction. Judge
Bundy. however. held the undutiful daugh-
ter guilty and insisted on s. from her.

Hammond, Ind. best known as the
winter Gretna Green Of Chicago, was
stricken from the map as a conven-
lent marriage resort yesterday.
At high noon, the popular wedding
hour, Harold Healy, the county clerk
of Lake county, abolished the office
of deputy marriage license clerk at
Hammond and aroused the wrath Of
three justices Of the peace, whose
chief income was from the marrying
business.
Besides the justices, merchants,
restauranteurs, hotel keepers and cab
drivers in Hammond are up in arms
and already a campaign to recover
the marriage license privilege has be
gun.

DISCOVERY OF SURGEONS.
important Discovery as to Value Of
Cocaine.

New York, Jan. John D. Rocke-
feller's 3 million dollar institute for
Medical Research in this city an
nounces a discovery which is expected
TO revolutionize the use Of anaesthet-
les in surgery. The discovery relates
to cocaine As an anaesthetic for Sc
rious operations, ether is less danger
Gus than chloroform, but it stimulates
the heart and, after its influence has
subsided. the patient becomes death.
ly in. Chloroform does not produce
nausea, but It dcpresses the heart, and
even a slight overdose may cause
death in the period of unconscious
ness.
Cocaine has heretofore been regard
ed as available only for minor opera
| tions and local applications, such as
toothache and external cuts or wounds
| DR.. /. Kast and DR.. S. J. Meltzer Of
| the Rockefeller institute, after n Sc
ries Of elaborate investigations, have
found, however, that cocaine, instead
Of being a mild drug, in reality eX-
erts in certain degrees a profound and
far reaching influence over the inter
nal organs, which will render 1t n
valuable aid for serious operations.
This is a boon to surgeons as well
as patients, because cocaine is not at
all dangerous to use and has no bad
effects. Involved in the discovery as
to cocaine Is another curious one
of scarcely less importance, namely
that notwithstanding the long pre-
yailing belief TO the contrary among
the medical profession, une's liver
and kidneys are as susceptible to pain
as his finger or toe. For generations
doctors have been regarding the alb
dominal organs as dead TO sensations
working mechanically and unsup
piled with sensary nerves. It was
in exploding this theory of dead
organs that tho scientific experts o
the Rockefeller institute stumbled
upon the vastly important discover!
as to cocaine.
