FEMALE OPIUM FIEND. "Lady Madge's” Romantic History and ■ Her Life in a Garret. From the Baltimore Herald. A tall, thick-set man, clad in tho familiar blue -oat and brass buttons of a Baltimore policeman, stood on the corner of Eutaw and Baltimore streets last Sunday night. It lacked but a fovv minutes of midnight. That busy, bustling thoroughfare, Baltimore street, was practically deserted. Here and there one would meet, with a belated citizen on his way home, while the restful silence of the sleeping city was broken at irregular intervals by the rumbling of some slow moving hack or cab. The official guardian of public life and property is not a bad sort of a follow after you have penetrated t'ue outer crust of official dignity and self-esteem, and this par ticular representative of “one of the finest," as he leisurely surveyed tho passers-by under the pale glare of the electric light, appeared to be delighted when his lonely , vigil was interrupted by a newspaper man’s stereotyped salutation: “Is there anything new}" “Nothing in particular,” replied the offi ce:- as he drew hack from his rather con spicuous position into the dark shadows of a convenient doorway, “There's nothing,” he continued, “save that the poor devils of opium fiends seem to be on the rampage to night. I have counted no less than twenty during the last ten minutes.” “Opium fiends, indeed! Mostly rum soaked bums, are they not }” said the Sun day Herald reporter. WORK FOR TEMPERANCE REFORMERS. “Nothing of t’a • sort. Why, here on my beat it’s mostly women, and let me tell you that the majority of them don’t even know tho taste of rum. It seems strange to me why these temperance people don’t take a brief vacation in their fight against King Whisky and try to crush out this infernal opium habit. Even you reporters, who are always poking about for items, haven’t the faintest idea of what the opium fiends really are. Whisky and beer! Why, man, they are nothing compared with the fool drug used by the poor devils who are slaves to the opium habit.” The policeman had by this time waxed eloquent over his subject, and when the newpaper man asked him to show him where he could find one of the so-called fiends he chuckled at what he termed an absurd question. The reporter and the policeman had been chatting for some time, w-hen the former was somewhat startled by receiving a gruff order to “Keep quiet,” from the usually pleasant-voiced officer. “Here comes ’Lady Madge,’ now.” point ing to the dark figure of a woman that was moving swiftly up Baltimore street. “We call her Laxly Madge.” softly whispered the officer. “You see the poor thing was once a ‘swell’ and associated with the ‘big bugs,’ and in spite of her present plight all the varnish of her former position is not rubbed off.” “a fiend.” The woman by this time had arrived at the corner, halted for a moment beneath the glaring light of the electric lamp, and then, to the dismay of the officer, advanced toward him. The gentleman in blue stepped from under the doorway. “What is it to-night, and why ain’t you home?” excl. imed the officer in a voice that was kind despite the offorts of the owner to make it harsh and stern. “Oh! sir, that man Pete, you remember him, snatched my parcel fi-om me down on Charles street a moment ago, and I will die for the want of it to-night.” sobbed the ‘‘lady,” her slight form trembling violently. She would - have fallen had it not been for ‘ the officer’s strong arm, which closed around her just in the nick of time. “Pete is a cowardly brute, but hadn’t yob better try to do without it to-night, Madge?” replied the minion of the law, who apparently had forgotten his official dignity and the chance of the Sergeant making an unwelcome appearance on the scene. “No, no; I cannot, and you know I'm telling you the truth!” cried the poor un fortunate, shivering in the chilly night air. With a feeling of half pity, half curiosity, the newspaper man volunteered to assist the “lady” home, and, if positively necessa y, give her money with which to purchase more of the di-ug. Strangely eager as was Madge to be put in possession of the seduc tive drug, it was not until after the officer had vouched for his good character tha. the woman consonted to accept of the offer. “What must Ido for you? Why are you, a stranger, so willing to befriend me?” she said, casting upon the newspaper man a searching glance from a pair of glittering black eyes. “Be easy, Madge,” interrupted the blue coated officer. You see he’s one of those newspaper reporters, and all he wants of you is for you to allow him to go home w ith you and li-teri to your story. He is merely in search of an item.” A BARGAIN. “My story!” exclaimed the doubting Madge. “And what possible interest can the story of my wretched existence be to him?” “I don’t know, but he does want it,” was the officer’s vague reply, “and you see you will be getting the stuff, and you really must hurry anyway, because it’s high time you were moving.” Finally, after another parley, in which the newspaper man took a solemn oath to pub lish no names, Madge at last consented to allow him to escort her home, and on condi tion of his furnishing the necessary opium to give him the history of her life. The gruff, but kind-hearted officer, wrafft the remnants of what had once been a thin black shawl more closely round the ema ciated shoulders of the “lady.” who nccepted the little attention with the "air of a duchess, and after bidding the policeman “good night’ she started up Eutaw street, accom panied by her volunteer escort. Nothing of a startling nature occurred to the “opium fiend” and her companion during their nocturnal tramp through the silent and deserted streets of West Balti more. Several times the latter attempted to engage Madge in conversation, hut she evidently desired to be undisturbed in her meditations, answering questions in mono syllables, and so, silently, the reporter allowed liis strange companion to cut out the pace and tako her own course until at last she halted before the dingy shop of a druggist who puts up strange smelling prescriptions and compounds darkly sus picious decoctions at all hours of the day. Hand ng his companion a silver quarter, the newspaper man bade her enter and pur chase the drug. THE PRECIOUS DRUG. Without a word she took the coin, entered tho shop, spoke to the sleepy night clerk, who retired to tho mysterious back room to be found in all well-appointed apothecary shops, and presently re appeared with a. small chunk of a dark-brownish mass, which he deftly wrapped up in a bit of pinkish paper, handed the parcel to Madge on pay ment, and then with a muttered “good night" tossed t he silver coin into the money drawer and returned to his well-padded easy chair, which was concealed by a show-case crowded with a varied assortment of fancy cut-glass bottles. Madge thrust the precious parcel in the pocket of her gown and started out for her home. A brisk 10 minutes’ walk, during which she seemingly doubled on her previous trail, anil the “flona" halted before a tum ble down bouse situated on a quiet side street that lies but a few squares from the “Western Folioe station. The half-visible surroundings of Madge’s place of residence did not look particularly inviting, but as she appeared to be perfectly familiar with the place tho reporter made no comment as she led tho way up the creaking stairs, flight after flight, until at last she stood on the narrow binding of the fourth floor, and before her was the door that opened into the den of the “opium fiend.” THE GARRET. It was pitch dark and the woman fumbled about for the key-hole, but after a brief de lay tho door swung back and she bade her companion enter the room. He struck a match and the two. after considerable diffi culty, managed to light a stumpy bit of tallow caudle, which Madge had fished out of tho debris of odds and ends lying on tho mantel. She placed the flickering candle on what appeared to be a poor apology for a table, and commanded her escort, in lhconic tones, to sit down and make himself com fortable. Seating himself upon the iedge of the only window, the reporter took a care ful glance of the wretched surroundings. Imagine a cheerless garret, say 8 by 10 feet, with unpiastered walls and the slanting ceiling pierced here and there by gaping holes through which the wind whistled un comfortably. The only window.was seem ingly a hopeless combination of broken glass, crumbling putty and rattling sash. The wretched room contained but little fur niture. A careful inventory of the contents of the den revealed an aged pine table minus one leg, a straw mattress that had seen its best days, an empty packing-box, a pile of empty soda bottles, two or three bat tered tin plates, au earthen tea-cup, and last, but by no means least interesting, a well thumbed Bible. PICTURESQUELY RAGGED. While the reporter had been looking about him Madge had removed her fragment of a shawl, and what it is charitable to suppose had once been a respectable straw bonnet. She might have passed as “a horrible ex amDle” for any ambitious temperance orator without the slightest making up for the part. As she stood revealed in the dim light by the tallow candle, clad in a pic turesquely ragged gown, her head of dullish black hair caught up in a bosely tied knot, and her pale, pinched face almost without expression, she made a living picture of wretchedness and despair that was fasci nating. “Not what one might designate as strictly comfortable quarters, are they ?” queried the slave to the drug, as with trembling fingers she unwrapped the paper from about the sticky mass of opium gum which she had purchased at the drug store. “Now ” she continued, “you see nothing in me but a hopeless wreck of what was once a woman. Wait a few moments and you will face another creature.” As she concluded this rather dramatic speech she began to eat the gum with the air of a connoisseur. The change in the woman’s appearance was startling. Slowly a roseate blush spread over her sallow cheeks, the great black eyes grew brilliant in then - wndness and tne sluggish blood rushed through her veins at lightning speed. Madge seemed to be carried to another sphere. Animated and smiling she seated herself on the edge of her miserable couch, and then announced her willingness to be interviewed. HER STORY. “Tell me your story in your own way,” said her visitor. “It’s a long story,” began Madge, still nibbling at her lump of gun, “but I’ll be as brief as possible. lam but 30 years old, al though any one to see me as I now am would think me much older. There was nothing remarkable about mv childhood. I was born here in Baltimore. My father was well-to do financially, and I, being the only child, had all the comforts that money could pro cure. I was educated at a boarding school just out of Philadelphia, where my parents removed to soon after the beginning of my career at school. I graduated with the cus tomary honors, and made my debut in soci ety on my eighteenth birthday. The two years that followed were crowded with pleasure. Then misfortune came. My father died, and my mother followed him in six mouths’ time. My property was in trusted to an ambitious uncle, who, after sinking both his own and my fortune in an unlucky speculation, blew out his brains. LAUDANUM —MORPHIA —OPIUM. “The ioss of relatives and fortune nearly drove me mad, and I succumbed to a severe attack of what the physician called nervous prostration. To ease my sufferings they in mistaken kindness gave me laudanum. This was followed by the insidious morphia, and at last opium itself. Before my illness I was a strong young woman in 'body and mind. When, after my two months’ wrestle with disease, I arose from my sick bed I was nothing but a wreck; aye, more than that, I was a confirmed opium fiend. I fully realized my awful position, and struggled hard to break myself of tho habit, but found it useless. Sick at heart, I gath ered together what was left from the wreck and came to Baltimore, where f have since remained and will probably die. “This is my story,” concluded Madge. “There is nothing sensational about it, being simply one out of many thousand similar cases. I don’t ask for aid, or do not want to be visited by the curious, heartless mob. AU I ask is to be left alone until death comes to my relief. You have promised me that you would not betray my secret. You do not know my name, and will proba ly never see me again. I thank you for your kindness in giving me this opium, and— and—l am very, very sleepy now.” A LAST GLANCE. That was all. Scarcely had she uttered the closing words when, with a satisfied sigh, she sank down on the mattress and closed her eyes, falling to sleep at once. The candle gave a flicker and was out, but the gray dawu of early morning stole through the window and the numerous rents in the roof, and shed a ghastly light on the “opium fiend,” as she lay upon the mattress with a bit of the brown glim still tightly clutched in her hand. A smite played about the corners of her purplish bps. Pleasant dreams, evidently. The reporter laid the ragged shawl over Madge, stuffed a newspa per in one of the largest of the holes in the roof, and with a last glance at the sleeping “opium fiend,” left the wretched garret and groped his way down the aged stairway. How Should She Have Been Dealt With? From, the Hartford Couran t. New York, Nov. 23.—An incident, by the way, occurred at a theatre recently in the presence of your correspondent that is rather characteristic of a certain class of the denizens of this great city. It was at the performance of a certain exceedingly popular play, and from gallery to pit every place was taken, the aisles were thronged so that passage was impossible, and the only free space was the st ps, which by law are prohibited to be used as seats. In the midst of the performance a rather pretty blondish woman, with a faded air, worked her way through the crowd, and walking the length of the orchestra chairs, seated herself on the lowest step, that of the front row of balcony chairs. An usher soon fought his way to her requesting her to rise, explaining that it was against the law to permit any one to occupy that place. The woman said something in a low voice that so startlod the box opener that he at once went away, with a pale face and flashing eyes. In a few moments he returned, accompanied by some one of the management, and they renewed the conversation. At last the woman rose half way up from the step and related what she (It afterward proved) had been saying to them since she was first requested to move: “If you say one won! to me about getting up from here I wifi cry ‘Fire,’ and then tne play will end and all these people be crushed to death. ” Of course, there was nothing to do about it but let her stay. She held the lives of hundreds of people in her hands. If she had been sized and taken out she would have cried fire till they could gag her. When the two mon left nor she settled herself comfortably on tho step, and for the rest of the play seemed absorbed in the performance. A Wonderful Food and Medicine.

Scott’s Emulsion not only gives flesh and strength by virtue of its owu nu tritious properties, but creates an appetite for food that builds up the wasted body. “I have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve ral years, and am pleased with its action. My patients say it is pleasant and palatab e, and all grow stronger and gain flesh from tho use of it. 1 use it in all cases of wasting diseases, and it is specially useful for chil dren when nutrient medication is needed, as in marasmus."
