BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at meeting Of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail Of any preparation con.
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo,
one OF the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail Of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. Of the victims Of
drugs formed the habit as q result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using

AYBREAk of March 4, 1861,
"N says Miss Tarbell. found
the city of Washington
&A astir. The senate, which
ALN had met at 7 O'Clock the
night before, was still in
session: scores of persons who had
come to see the Inauguration of the
first Republican president, and who
had been unable to find other bed
than the floor, were walking the
streets: the morning trains were
bringing new crowds. Added to the
stir of those who had not slept
through the night were sounds un-
usual in Washington-the clatter of
cavalry, the tramp of soldiers.
All this morning hustle of the city
must have reached the ears of the
president-elect at his rooms at Will
lard's hotel where from an early hour
he had been at work. An amendment
to the constitution of the United
States had passed the senate in the
all night session, and as 1t concerned
the subject Of his inaugural, he must
incorporate reference to it in the ad-
dress. Then he had not replied to the
note he had receivd two days before
from Mr.. Seward. asking to be releas-
ed from his promise to accept the
portfolio of state. He could wait no
longer
Il can't AFFORD" he said to Mr. Mic
olay, his secretary. "to let Seward
take the first trick"
And he dispatched the following let

At noon Mr.. Lincoln's work was
interrupted. The president of the
United States was announced. Mr.
Buchanan had come to escort his sue
cessor to the capitol The route of
he procession was the historic one
over which almost every president
since Jefferson had travelled to take

Lincoln looked upon as his carriage
rolled up the avenue was different
from that upon which one looks to-

Mortality

Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
Like a swift feeting meteor, a fast-fy-
ing cloud,
A flash of the lightning. a break of tho
wave.
He passeth from life to his rest in thu
grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old. and the low
and the high,
Shall moulder to dust and together shall
lie
The infant and mother attended and

The mother that infants affection who
The husband that mother and infant who
blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwellings Of

The maid on whose cheek. on whose

Shone beauty and pleasure-her triumphs
are by;
And the memory of those that beloved

hath borne:

grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to sow and
to reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his
goats up the steep:
The beggar, who wandered in search Of
his bread.
Have faded away like the grass that We
tread
The saint that enjoyed the communion Of
heaven;
The sinner that dared to remain unfor-
given;
The wise and the foolish. the guilty and
just.
Have quietly mingled their bones in the
dust.
So the multitude goes like the flower or
the weed
That withers away to let others succeed. .
So the multitude comes. even those we
behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been
told.
For we are the same as our fathers have
> been:
We see the same sights that our fathers
have seen:
We drink the same stream and view the
same sun,
And run the same course our fathers
have run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers
would think;
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers would shrink:
To the life we are clnging they also
would cling;
But 1t speeds for us all, like bird on
the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot un-
fold:
They scorned. but the heart of the
naughty is cold:
They grieved, but no wall from the sum-
ber will come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their glad
ness is dumb.
They died-ay! they died. We things that
are now
That walk on the turf that lies over their
brow,
And make in their dwellings a transient
abode,
Meet the things that they met on their
pilgrim road.
Yes! hope and dependency, pleasure and
pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song and
the dirge,
Still follow each other. like surge upon
surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye. It's the drausht
Of breath,
From the blossom Of health to the pale
ness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and
the shroud.

GREAT INTEREST
 IN SENATORSHIP

Nashville, January 14.-Tuesday is now considered by practically everyone as the great day in the senatorial fight. and on that day it is the general belief that the real fight will begin and end and that at least from that time onward every ballot will count for something gained. For a week the battle has been waged with but one ballot per day, and no great attempt was made to get either candidate out of the way, each being content to wait over until next week. After Tuesday every possible illegality of the election will be out of the way.
 The candidates in the field have had a full test of their strength and their power to take votes from the other. and early next week the end ought to come. But this Is not at all sure. New names may be injected into the fight and new align ments would in that case be made nd the situation become more complex and still tighter deadlock ensue But as to the candidates in the field, one must win by Tuesday, or two will moro than likely be eliminated-M -McMillin and either Fra zier or Fitzhugh.
 The balloting this week has shown no real gain by any man. McM,llln ieo on each ballot, getting almost the solid regular strength on the first ballot. On the second he concentrated all scat tered votes, since which time he has held the full 60.
 The leaders of the fusionists got actively into the figbt only yesterday. Up to that time Fitzhugh was play ing a lone hand. but help came to him yesterday and d strong effort will be made to land him early next week.
 Hooper talk grows and 1t was even rumored yesterday that he had re- considered his former position and would accept the nomination for the senate if elected through the efforts of the regulars or republicans MT. Hooper would say nothing for pupil cation yesterday, merely saying that the rumor was too absurd to pay any attention to it. a EslKE

LUKE WRIGHT TO.
 ENTER CONTEST

Nashville, January 14--The battle for the senatorial succession will assume a new phase next week when Gen. Luke E. Wright of Memphis, former Secretary of War; and former governor general of the Philippine. shies his castor Into the ting For two weeks Geherel Wright has been looking over the situation and quietly biding his time. He has never said whether he would be a candidate, but tonight it was reliably reported that next Tuesday MT. Wright's name would be presented to the assemblymen. For several days it has been represented that General Wright was not disposed to enter the race. fearing 1t would interfere with ex-Goyernor McMillin's chances of suc- cess, but now it is stated by the ex-war- sscrstarys friends that McMililn. having failed to secure the necessary CT votes. il 's not unfair foi their faycrtte tC get into tlte running. N
 Hence it is expected that Monday or Tuesday at the latest the regular votes of Shelby county will be cast for Wright instead of McMillin.
 With the entrance of General Wright, 1t is expected the fusionists will endeavor to consolidate their forces for the support of Frazier or Fitzhugh but 1t was said to- day that all negotiations between these gentlemen looking to the retirement of one or the other was off. It was asserted by their respective friends that each would stick 1t out. However, the impress sion Is general in political circles on both sides that one or the other will be forced to surrender the field next week, and that then the real test as between the two fusion choices and General Wright or whomsoever the regulars decide to sup port will be made.
 In the event the regulars decide they cannot win with McMillin or Wright, the chances are that Nat Baxter. Jr.,. speak CT of the senate. will be put forward, and an effort made to stampede the joint ses- sion to him. If not McMillin, Wright or Baxter, then Hooper. governor-elect, or Jesse M Littleton will be chosen If the regulars can control the necessary number of votes.
