That 7o.io Chlcagoans ate afflicted with
tha cocaine habit la the statement made
br organlxatlona which have been fighting
the "coke" evil for years and. they admit,
losing ground all the time.
Medically, cocaine la the alkaloid derived
from coco leaves. In lis crystallised form
it Is pur white and flaky, and when used
la crushed to a powder and snuffed Into
the nostrils. Another method is to use a
solution which Is hypodernilcally Injected
In the same wuy as morphine.
It la aUo taken Internally, and whichever
the mode the result is the same unusual
stimulating effect In the enrly. stages of tha
habit and powerful recuperating power
whan tha victim has so far succumbed to
Its use that it is absolutely necessary.
When snuffed the powder is generally laid
over the thumb on the loft hand, and It is
not unusual to see hnbitual cocaine users
with large sores on this spot from the ef
fects of the drug penetrating the skin.
Some catarrh curca are notorious sub
terfuges to satisfy the craving for the nar
cotic, and ona of these has been the sub
ject of legislation In many states. Its sale
lias been prohibited in Illinois, but other
preparations against which the ban haa
not been placed are said to be equally bad.
To use morphine in a satisfactory form
requires a syringe, to smoke opium re.
quires a room fehere one may sleep, hash
eesh Is hsrd to obtain but for cocaine
ono needs neither syringe nor room, and
there is no difficulty In obtaining the stuff
In most parts of the city. All that is neces
sary for anyone to indulge in this habit
is "the price."
This may mean any sum of money, from
10 centa up. Ten cents will secure enough
"flake" to serve for two or three hours of
enjoyment, provided the user has not de
veloped a strong taste for the drug. Twenty-five
cents pays for a small box full of
the drug, sufficient to last anyone for a
day, and for II one can secure enough of
the stuff to furnish a complete orgy of
drugging. "Even a child can use it." and
to the aliume of druggists and saloon keep
ers in certain parts of the city, It must
be Said that thy do.
Misery Seeks lompaay.
One of the worst features of cocaine Is
that the fiends constantly urge others to
use It. The opium fiend, the. hasheesh vic
tim, the morphine sufferer, warn all others
against the drugs that have ruined them,
but the cocaine fiend seems anxious at all
times to convert others to the use of this
most horrthle of "dopes."
. It is no difficult task to huut them out
once one has learned the trademarks of
the "fiend." The yellow whiteness of
the face, the down-drawn, stupid mouth,
the perpetually elevated eyebrows and
tho "dopy" look In the eyes readily dis
tinguish them from all other prisoners.
The cigarette stunts the mental and phys
ical powers of the boy or youth, the dope
cares not whether its victim is young or
old, half grown or mature.
To a reporter four victims of this ruinous
habit told their stories. Of ' these four,
three were boys under 18 years old. The
fourth was a man who hud been a fiend
for twenty years. Number One was a boy
of 17 . who had 'used the dope two years.
His tale follows:
"I began using the stuff about two years
and a half ago. That makes two years that
I used It steady, as steady as I could get
it, anyhow. I've been In here six months
now, and since I come here I haven't got
a chance to use it.
"Would I use It If I could get It? Would
I? Why. say, pal. If I could sell my right
hand for a little box of the flake I'd do It!
l"se It? Why, I can't do anything else.
"I got Into the habit of using It down on
Dearborn street. I worked In a printing
house down there, first as an errand boy
and then as a Job .press feeder. It was
while I was an errand boy that I got next
to the dope stuff.
"I used to spend my lunch hour down
in tha alley back of the shop where tba
teamsters used to feed their horses, and
sit and rush the caTn, and use the dope.
They used to send me over to Clark street.
where a barkeeper kept the flake, and have
me buy the stuff for them.
"That was the beginning. I didn't use it
fo.r a long time, though. I went after the
stuff for the teamsters for three or four
months before I ever touched it. I didn't
know anything about it, or what It wou'.d
do, or anything, and I never felt tempted
to snuff it up my nose like I saw the team
sters do. '
Tha First Placb.
"One day a new fellow offers! me a
pinch of the dope and I took it. There isn't
anything to It. to look at it, you know.
Just a little white powder, and a pinch is
all that you need to take at a time.
I took this pinch and snuffed it. At
first I didn't notice anything queer, except
that It sort of tickled In my nose. A little
while later it began to work, and then I
knew why tha teamsters used the stuff.
"After that I began taking it regular. I
didn't buy any for months, not until I cot
a job feeding picas, iecause the teamsters
used to give n e all I wanted for running
after it for them.
At the end of three months I had the
habit. I wanted the stuff all the time.
A little while later I needed it all the time,
and pretty soon I had to have it.
"Where did I buy It? The flrat place that
I began at was from an Italian who kept a
junk shop for a bluff and sold dope through
the back door. All you had to do waa to
go to the back door, shove in a quarter
and get your box of flake.
"That place got pinched, too, because
aome thieves began to hang out there.
Then I had to go back to the drug store,
but it waa harder to get It than before. I
had to save a box to show to the clerk, so
that he'd know that I uaed the stuff right
along.
"After awhile the habit began to ahow in
my face and then I didn't need to show
anything but my money. I waa U then and
I had it so bad that if I went without the
coke for a day I d feel crasy when I tried
to go to sleep. Sometimes I would go to
bed and try to stay there without having
any coke, but I'd always have to get up In
the night and go out and get it."
This boy soon began to steal in order to
buy the drug anl finally. In attempting a
holdup, shot at a man and ia now likely to
go to tha penitentiary for a long term.
Tha second boy said :
"I lived over on the West Bide and went
to tha Weshburne school when I did go to
chofl, which wasn't very much, t got to
tiding tha dope there, too. Many of the
kids In that neighborhood use It. I Was
only II when I began and there were others
who were only my age and who had been
at It years before I started."
VUlkle
The third boy victim waa the prise speci
men of the crowd, for while the others had
used the dope without reserve and were
nn bashful In telling of It, this lad he was
under Is boasted of the fait that he had
peddled cocaine around on the street, and
even conducted an opium Joint for a short
while.
The man who confessed to the habit need
not have done so. The story of years of
usaae of cocaine was written too plainly
in the eyes, tho mouth and the skin to be
mistaken by any one who was In the lesst
familiar with the drua fiend's chsracterls
tlcs of appearance. The hollow chest, the
outbending knees and the droop of the neck
told of physical wreckago, and the police
record of the man told that his morals had
gone the way of hts body.
He is a member of a family of the better
class on the North Ride. His brothers and
sisters are good, upright citixens of Chi
cago at the present day; his father Is a re
tired merchant of means, his mother a
church worker of prominence.
Cocaine tore him out of the good home
that his parents made for htm and pulled
him down through the many various strata
that are the lot of the drug fiend, down to
the lowest position that the world can hold
for the human animal.
Kducated In early youth with a view to
being placed In the ministry this man had
only touched the drug once and was lost
forever. He, like hundreds of other vic
tims of the habit, had meant only to gain
experience, to see what It was like. He,
like the others, paid the penalty for hla
curiosity and knows that Joliet yawns open
before him. Chicago Tribune.

INDIANA'S MAGNETIC FIELD
Larsje Slice of Hooaler Earth
Where storms Deltaht to
Gambol.
A mysterious magnetic field in the south
western part of Lake county Is attracting
no little attention among local scientific
minds and arousing much Interest because
of queer pranks cut up by lightning in that
neighborhood. Tho territory covered by
tho strange and weird electrical manifes
tations embraces only a few square miles
in West Creek township, one of the south
tier of townships, and Is located a few
miles north of the great Kankakee marshes.
More havoc Is created annually n this one
spot, with a radius of less than two miles,
than in any four entire counties In this part
of the state.
Every thunderstorm in this vicinity is
sure to pass over the spot, no matter in
what direction the wind may be, and Its
passage la sure to be marked by terrific
bursts of lightning.
At night time the displays are at times
grand and magnificent, yet terrifying to the
bravest heart and extremely dangerous.
Bolt after holt of molten fire Is shot from
heaven to earth, lighting the country up for
miles with a dazzling glare of light. Bo
much havoc has been wrought by lightning
that some Insurance companies refuse risks
In tho district and others are about to im
pose additional rates to cover the extra
cost.
Four large hay barns within half a mile
radius were struck one day recently and
burned, causing a loss of $1,2(10. Only one
of these, that of Henry Brant, was Insured,
and it only for about one-half Its value.
The others, belonging to Volney Foster,
William Hatton and James Hayden, were
uninsured.
It has been found impossible to keep a
telephone service in operation In the terri
tory," as every storm that passes leaves
wrecked lines and blackened and shattered
poles as a reminder of the lightning's wrath.
Numerous horses and cattle have been
killed and there Is not a building or a tall
tree that does not bear evidence of the de
structive forces of nature's electrical en
ergy. Three. fatalities have occurred In the
lust three years, and every Inhabitant of the
spot has felt the lightning's forca to a
greater or less degree. It Is said that a
wireless telegraph would be Inoperative and
messages intercepted by the weird forces
that seem to lie concealed In the ground.
Even In fair weather a telephone system
using the ordinary grounded wires Is use
less and even a metallic circuit Is operated
with difficulty.
Many theories are advanced, but the most
plausible one seems to be that a large body
of strong magnetic ore crops out near the
surface and attracts the electrical forces of
the clouds. Another theory Is that a large
body of meteoric ore lies In this neighbor
hood and Is the attracting medium. In

' Criticism pauses in wondering admira
tion before the genius that can accomplish
such effects In such great contrast as were
achieved by Mr. Willard at the Boyd last
night, and such comment as wlU be made
must be in praise alone' for the "Man
Who Is." Even praise Itself must halt,
lest enthusiasm lead the expression into
extravagance, and thus the essence of
thought were lost In the tumult of mere
words. Mr. Wlllard has hitherto been
deemed a creative actor ol powers within
a well denned range. Many of us recall
his Judah, his Cyrus Blenkarn, his Goit
Willie, and some who have been abroad
have seen his Tom Pinch and other roles,
and all agreed that along this range that
Is neither very high nor very low, that
ascends no heights of moment or sounds
no depths worthy of especial exploration,
Wlllard waa a very capable actor. He bad
long ago lifted his personal art above the
merely Imitative, and had well establlshe
himself as a creator of characters. HI.
faculty for penetrating mists that surrouna
the elemental passions and for bringing
to the surface the hidden springs that
animate certain Individuals In certain situ
ations was highly developed, and his ana
lytical perception was sufficiently acute
to enable him to value with mathematical
nicety the various attributes of these
characters. In a word, Mr. Willard was a
successful actor, because he had confined
his efforts to a quality of work for which
he seemed pre-eminently fitted. Having
determined this much to our satisfaction,
and forgetful of tha fact that the actor
might possibly develop, we comfortably
settled ourselves to bo pleasantly amused
by him on tha occasion of his periodic
visits feeling assured that he would give
us something that would tickle our fancies
and amuse us for a little while, if it did
not rouse nny deep or rlous thought.
And for this we liked Mr. Wlllurd Im
mensely. 1 i
Just as certainly as the tren grows,
steadily expanding . Us boughs and
branches, multiplying Its twigs and leaves
and expanding Its glorious front beneath
the skies, all the while its roots are tak
ing a broader and deeper andrmer hold
on the soil beneath, and It la being estab
lifhed in Its growth and sure of Us sus
tenance, and then comes tho glorious fruit
ago, so it la with Wlllard. He has seem
ingly reached the time ot life when his
art Is to bear fruit. The most certain
sign of this Is his presentation ot "The
Man Who Was." Captious reviewers
have pointed out places In which It falls
short of perfection, but these have to do
with details, and do not bear on the con
ception. It Is an Idea that is illuminated
by the work of the actor. A creation.
Kipling clothed tho thought with words;
Wlllard has jiven It flesh and blood;
Kipling's tale Is a moving recital, one that
stirs all the warm bipod and quick re
sentment In the heart of man; Adam-sad
is not one of Kipling's favorite animals,
and such allusions as be makes to him are
not those relished In court society at St.
Petersburg. Mr. Wlllard makes this
thought sentient, pulsating with life. The
tragedy is swift and overpowering, and Its
effect Is depressing in the extreme, but
not a line Is abated, not a sharp edge
Is blunted nor a harsh tone softened. It
Is terrible, but it Is truth In possunrus.
To describe tne awakening of Austin
Llmmason's brain, benumbed by twenty
years of living death In Siberia, to a re
alisation of his condition as he Is found
at the headquarters of the old regiment tn
India Is to give the details of the play.
Mr. Wlllard Is tremendoualy effective in
this, and does It so well that the effort
seems even less than It Is. The gibbering
wanderer, unkempt, filthy, clad in skins
and devoid of articulate speech, becomes
gain a man at the sight of familiar oh
ects. Ho surely establishes his Identity,
and the carriage and manners of tha
"officer and gentleman" come back to
him. The stralna of the old march start
tho Area of his blood, and he again heads
the charge. But the effort la too much
for the enfeebled body,, and at Ita height
the soldier falls lifeless. "Austin Urn
mason Is home." It Is a powerful piece of
acting and ranks with Irving In "Tha
Bells," Mansfield as Baron Chevrlal, and
Tomasso Salvtnl In "La Morte Civile."
Mr. Wlllard's place aa an actor Is not
fully defined, but be ha come a long
way since he played' "heavies" in London
only a few years ago, anl It will be strange
Indeed If his name Is not written high
among the great tragedians ot the Eng
lish speaking world.
In singular and sharp contrast to Ms
work In "The Man Who Waa" ia his
equally effective playing of the role of
David Oarrlck In the good old Robertson
classic. In this delicate shading; of the
situations Is the price of success, and thli
Is done with a taste that is charming. A
delicate vein ot light comedy overlies the
whole, but not deep enough to obscure
entirely tho possible tragedy that resls
just beneath the surface. Light and serious
follow each other in quick succession nil
through, and after seeing the Wlllard pro
ductlon one understands why the role ia so
frequently undertaken by lesser of the
modern stars. It Is a beautiful conceit
when properly expressed.
To say of the supporting company that
It is worthy of the star is praise enough.
Tonight we win laugh with the company
as It goes through the delicious situations
of the most unctlous of Barrle comedies,
"The Professor's Love Story." This will
also be offered at a matinee on Saturday
afternoon,' and on Saturday evening Mr.
Willard will turn the light on another sfrU
of Ms genius, glvlng us tha Henry Arthur
Jones melodrama, "The Middleman." ,.

JHSTAKES ABOUT NICOTINE
It Doean't Accumulate tn Plpeatema
and Canaea Very Little
Poisoning;.
There are probably few subjects about
which mure people are misinformed than
nicotine.
Nearly everyone speaks of the dark brown
substance which haa about the consistency
and color of molasses and accumulates tn
the uteins of pipes ai nicotine. It is not
nicotine, and It haa no nicotine lu It.
It Is notMtig but tar tobacco tar, distilled
from the smoke, just as coal tar Is distilled
from cual and pine ter from Dine wood.
Ona might swallow ail the tobacco tar
that a rank clay pipe contains without seri
ous harm. If he swallowed the same quan
tity ot nicotine he would probably be dead
inside of five minutes.
It la the tar that stains the pipe, and it is
the a. ma tar that stains the cigarette
smoker's uueis. It is u.to found Inside the
nostrils ot one who Inhales smoke, and it
puts an indellible stain on mustaches.
It is true that tobacco contains more
nicotine than any other known plant, but
nicotine la not a plentiful article in nature.
The rankest Kentucky tobacco contains
less than t per rent of nicotine, and the
finer grades of tobacco, such aa Havana,
have Use than per cent.
One often hears cigarettes condemned be
cause the smoker gets so much more nico
tine through inhaling the smoke. The fact
is that a cigarette smoker gels almost no
nicotine, because the tobacco of which
cigarettes are made contains next to no
nicotine. Turkish and Egyptian tobaccos
carry only a trace of nicotine, and some of
tbaju none at all.
No matter how much of this deadly ele
ment a tobacco contains, the smoker does
not get it. Nicotine la not extracted by
burning the tobacco. Burning destroys it
entirely.
Ona often hears of nicotine poisoning,
but It is very doubtful If there Is any such
thing. When one is poisoned with nicotine
he dies, and he doesn't get solsoned by
smokmg. There are plenty of guod reasons
why smoking should not be carried to ex.
ceas, but nicotine poisoning la not one 0
them. New York Sua. .
