haxe exhibited sympathy toward
him in material form.
1t was interesting to learn that
the dope habit is largely mental.
The case of one old man, white
haired and of shrunken face-pasty
white and twitching-w recited.
This victim, after having been
given the preliminary isolating TIE t.
pent that begins with graduated
doses Of morphine, would put one
over" on his own mind by sticking
an empty hypodermic needle in
his forearm, carrying it there for
several hours.
Fake Works Well
Another case Of mental deception
was that in which physicians, called
to treat severe type of addict,
ostensibly gave the usual sedative,
but in reality injected only pure
water. The victim Immediately
Gained down, threw back his
shoulders and said: Gee, l feel
better! That's great-fine business!"
Hey, buddy! Listen buddy!' rings
through the corridors of the jail
when turnkeys and visitors alike
pass. II you stop, it is the same
old plea.

and'So and tell him I'm dying. Get
me a shot. buddy. will you?'
Even when they are under the
effects of a strong Shot they are
very annoying, Major Peak said.
At all hours of the day and night
they call for something-water
some suddenly desired food-any.
thing; but always a shot.
Many are the subterfuges of the
drug addict for obtaining the
necessary "shot."
The major recalled an incident in
LeaVenwoth Of smuggling morphine
70 an inmate by using an ordinary
picture postcard. The card had been
split in half, a disable quantity of
the dope spread on its torn texture
and the card pasted smoothly to-
gether again.
The percentage. however, insofar
as 1t concerns the District Jail, is
not large, Major Peak reiterated.
For the first six months Of this
fiscal year there have been APP
proximately $500 prisoners of
whom only the 33 mentioned were
users of drugs.

DRUG ADDICTs
CHRONIC LIARS

A drug addict viii do anything to
obtain dope. Mai. W. Il. Peak,
superintendent Of the District Jail,
says.
During his long experience as an
official Of penal institutions. both
here and at Leavenworth, Major
Peak has had opportunity to make
many interesting observations Of
the victim Of narcotics.
They are irresponsible liars, Major
Peak declared.
This IS one OF the outstanding

undergoes the almost Undesirable
agony Of the habitual craving for it.
Great ImaginatiOns
THE truth simply is not in
them" said Major Peak. They
will say anything, and-so far as
my experience with them is con-
cerned-t hey talk continuously
about things that never existed
or happened"
The prisoner addict Is a great
nuisance, Major Peak asserted. At
all hours Of the day and night they
clamor for all sorts Of services.
Most Of their requests are for
doctors, from whom they hope to
obtain strong sedatives or hypoder-
mic injections of morphine.
So far as the District jail Is con.
cerned, Major Peak said, the per-
centage of addicts Is small. For
the first six months OF the present
fiscal year there have been thirty
three victims of narcotics, Of
which number seven were women.
Seven OF the thirty-three have re-
CURED medical treatment.
Remedial Measures
This treatment takes the form
more of remedy than a cure, 1t was
said, due largely to the fact that Jail
prisoners are transients, being held
only until their cases are disposed
Of by the courts. But for those
whose systems have become satur-
ated with drugs the jail officials pre-.
scribe special care.
They are given mild doses OF NOR
phine at first, followed by thorough
purgations and hot baths.
When they suffer the axcruciating
agony that follows the constant use
of drugs, they are alleviated with
graduated prescriptions of phenaci.
tin, deriyative of codein-which is
a sublimated form of opium.
Specially prepared foods are given
such addicts, and every possible step
is taken to isolate them from the
more vicious forms Of dope.
But they are a pitiful, noisy lot,
the major says.
When the craving comes upon
them they will promise anything for
a "shot." It was learned that only
recently a young woman prisoner.
who was regular user Of NOR
phine and cocaine, told a physician
attending her at the Jail that IL he
would procure her only a small
quantity of the stuff they call
snow she would give him large
diamond ring she wore-that and
anything else.

OF snow" with an unfortunate
stranger, and they labor under the
misapprehension that any kindness
extended to them springs from a
desire on the part of the person
rendering it to become a friend.
A kindness. especially in the form
OF assistance in assuaging their
agony, is never forgotten. When

During the months that Congress
was in session at York the most
important help and promise of help
from abroad was received by the
United States. On May 2 came the
important news brought by Simeon
Deane from France in letter from
Benjamin Franklin to the Congress,
with a copy Of the treaty of amity
and commerce and the treaty Of al.
lance, under which the French gov.
ernment had decided to send an
army, fleet and a vast sum of
money to aid the infant republic Of
the United States in the struggle for
liberty.
This money was deposited in the
United States Treasury Building,
which stood at the northeast corner
Archibald Mclean.
During the War for independence
this Archibald Mclean was an ardent
supporter Of the patriotic cause.
When Congress removed to York, and
during the entire nine months Of the
session held there, this Mclean home
was occupied by the board Of the
Treasury. In a vault in the cellar
the money belonging to the United
States Treasury was kept-not only
the deprecated Continental currency.
but a considerable amount of silver.
This valuable treasure, amounting to
about 100000, was brought to York
in the Spring of 177S. Capt. James
B. Frye. who had been a member of
the Boston Tea Party. had been In
