ers. Incidentally the circular ad
vises beet raisers to get together
and urge the incoming legislature
to make an appropriation covering
the amount of bounty earned dur

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
The cocoaine habit has taken
such a hold on the residents ot Man
chester, Conn., that steps are being
taken to obtain legislative restric
tion on the sale of the drug. The
evil had its inception when a local
druggist a year ago made a prepar
ation of cocaine and menthol which
could be used as snuff. It was in
tended as a specific for asthma, and
now hundreds of persons have be
come slaves to the snuff.
Experiments made with small-pox
patients in Oaxaca, Mexico, show
that by administering honey di
luted in water to small-pox patients
the pustules of the worst variety
disappear and the fever is immedi-
atly diminished. The matter at
tracts much attention. The remedy
was accidently discovered by a
young girl who was down with the
disease, who secretly refreshed her
self with honey and water, with
astonishing curative results, and it
was then tried on soldiers sick with
the disease.
The inaguration suit that Major
McKiuley will wear March 4 next
will be American clear through.
The cloth will be woven especially
or the occasion by the Hockanum
Manufacturing Company, of New
York, and will be a single weaving.
It will be of American-grown wool,
and no more will be woven than will
suffice to make the suit. When
woven the cloth will be sent to the
Major's tailor at Cleveland, and by
lim the suit will be cut and made.
England's new cruiser, the Power
ful, is undoubtedly the most formid
able war-ship in the world, and in
every way entitled to be called a

tains 100 steam engines for various
uses. Her speed is twenty-two and
cne-halt knots an hour is produced
by 26.497 horse-power, and one
coaling will carry her 96,000 knots.
For offense she has guns that
throw eight tons of steel a minute.
In other words, she can direct upon
an enemy 266 pounds of steel shot a
