Driyes a Young Man ;Insane— He Consumed a Dozen Boxes a Day. Chicago, August 27.—Excessive smoking of cigarettes has driven twenty sear-old William Fitzgerald, a resident ofthis city insane. He is one of the score or more of young men who yearly reach the detention hospital on the cigarette route. Fitzgerald developed into a’paper pipe fiend about a year ago, and has since consumed from three to a doz- en boxes a day. When not engaged in smoking he was _ hard at work in chewing tobacco. His mind began to totter on its throne last week.and syhen the police took him to the de- tention hospital he was little better thau an idiot. “Fitzgerald has acted badly since his supply of cigarrettes was cut off One afternoon, while walking in the hospital corrider,he violently attack- ed another patient.inflicting injuries which will lay him up for amonth at least. The infuriated young man then grappled with an attendant named Mahoney. One of the at- tendant’s fingers was terribly man- gled between Fitzgerald's teeth. The crazy youth was locked up in cell but managed to break out in a short time. He was again captured and this time placed in a stronger cell. . Dr. Egbert, who has this case in charge, says that Fitzgerald's sys- tem is so thoroughly saturated with cigarette poison that he smells as if he h.s just escaped from an opium joint. Fitzgerald's case is only one of abou: twenty-five similar ones that come to Dr. Egbert’s attention every year. ‘The doctor says that insanity among cigarette smokers is growing to an alarining extent and that at the present time the evilis responsi- ble for nearly two per cent of all the cases he handles. Fitzgerald is still confined to his cell, and he will not be released until he shows some signs of improvement. Colorado Stage Robbery. Dallas, Colo , Aug.,26.—The stage running between here and Telluride was held up yesterday by road agents near Haskill. Nothing valuable was secured excepting what was possi- bly in the registered mail. There were but two of the robbers, both young men and masked. One was dressed in a suit of dark blue twill- ed clothing. The other in a dark coat, checkered vest and dark vest. They were armed with four revol- vers and a Winchester rifle. David Wood, proprieto of the stage line, has offerred a reward of $100 for the arrest of one or both of the rob- bers. There is no doubt that the object of the attack was to secure the retorts of the King gold mine, eleven of which were sent out yes- terdy morning, but by a different route. There is a strong suspicion that the robbers had confederates here. The value of the retorts was over $8,000. Her First Legislature. Guthrie, Ok., Aug. 27.—The first Oklahoma legislature convenes here this afternoon at 2 o'clock and will Queer Discovery ot Silver. Harrison, Ark., Aug. 2.—Five! years ago John McAdams of Marion | county was convicted of counterfeit- | ing and sentenced to five years’ im-| prisonment. The coin was mate} out of pure silvers and awas werth than the genuine dollar. McAdams it is claimed, dug the material with which he manufactured the money from a vein of silver in the moun- tdins near his home. Recently he returned home and has given sam ples of the silver to a number of parties. Assays show a large per cent of silver. The Horror of the Rope- { Birmingham, England, Aug. 26.— A revolting scene was witnessed in the jail this morning when Frederick Davis, who was sentence to Ceath for murder of his wife, was executed. His head was from his shoulders by the drop and the winds pipe and ¢arotid artery were severed and blood spurted all over the scaf- fold. The hangman explained that the unusual occurrence was the 1e sult of the fact that Davis was a man with a long neck, the conse- quence of which he said was that the man was given a six foot drop. liaif torn Chicago papers are saying that Secretary Seward is credited with having made the remarkab'e predic- tion during the dark days ix the war that the capital would be remoy- ed not to Chicago or St. Louis, but to the city of Mexico, which “will probably be the center cf population of the United States one of these days.” And up iu St. Pau! they will tell yoa that as he stopped there on his way uround the world he predic- ted th t the of the unicn would ultimately be thereabouts. 2 Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Il, makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her fungs; she was treated fora month by her family physician, but grew worse.
