OPIUM AND YJILLOW F U VEB.
Chinamen Claim That None of Their
Race Has Hirer Caught the Disease.
Nrw York, Sept. 32. —When the death,
hy yellow fever, of the eminent English
astronomer, Prof. R. A. Proctor, in this
cit.v, brought homo to the popular conscious
ness the alarming fact that the dreaded
aco.irge of the south was actually among
us, some anxious excitement might reason
ably have been expected. Now Yorkers,
however, do not scare easily, and though
certain newspapers have seemed desir
ous ot cultivating a panic by ttieir
sensational articles on the subject,
Ibe public seem to view the situ
ation with gratifying coolness and confi
dence. Among one large element of our
population the feeling is pjacid indifference.
Those exceptionally unconcerned ones are
the Chinese. No fear of yellow fever agi
tates them, nor would they be frightened
w ere that pestilence raging here with even
greater virulence than it has attained in
Jacksonville. It is not that they fane}' that
there is any race immunity for them, but
tkev have unbounded confidence in the
preventive and medical powers of a
habit to which nearly all of them are,
more or less, addicted. That habit is
opium smoking. They aver that one
•who habitually “hits the pipe”—
•whatever his race, color or previous con
dition of servitude—-is proof against yellow
fever germs. And if, not being thus pro
tected, one gets the disease, a prompt and
certain cure is afforded by resort to the
opium pipe. It is affirmed by them that
although there are a number of Chinamen
in Jacksonville, not one of them has died
or has even been a sufferer from yellow
fever, and they affirm that the same fact
lias been observable in each of the yellow
fever epidemics that have in former
years raged in other southern cities,
ever since Chinamen have lived in
them. A rheumatism possesses infinitely
? router terrors for John than a yellow fever.
r seems as if, in view of these facts, the
opium pipe is well worth trying as a rem
edial agent, where the disease prevails, by
others than Chinamen. It is simple, easy
when one gets the knack ot it, anil certainly
not likely to be hurtful if not used to excess.
But some special instruction is necessary to
enable one to smoke opium, and it is rather
doubtful if one novice out of ten will be able,
from any mere description, to accomplish
it without ocular demonstrations by an ex
pert. The whole art of it is in the “cook
ing” of the opium. The variety of the drug
that is used for smoking is very different
from that employed in pharmaceutical pre
paration. It is soft, thick,glossy black, tarry
looking stuff, and costs four or five times as
much, at least, as the other kind does.
Enough of it for a dozen “pipes” will cost
from 30 to 46 cents in any respectable
“joint” in New York, but then one, no
doubt, pays there a certain percentage for
the use of the “lay-out,” which consists of a
pipe, needle, lamp and place to lie down
and enjoy the questionable dissipation.
The lamp is fed with some vegetable oil—
probably that from peanuts—which gives
forth no unpleasant smell in burning. Its
flame, small and clear, is surrounded by a
little dome of glass, open at the top. The
expert “fiend” —as the habitual opium
smoker is called—takes upon the point of
the long slender steel needle a small wad of
the opium from the “shell” in which it is
served. This he holds over the flame of the
lamp, where it boils, bubbles, squirms like
a golden bronze worm and graduilly
changes color to a shade of metallic grav.
All the while it is undergoing this
transformation, he twirls it deftly
and shapes it on the bowl of the
pipe, which has a broad, smooth
surface surrounding a tiny cen
tral aperture. First he makes it cylindri
cal. Then he pokes the end of the needle
through the little hole in the pipe, com
pressing the pasty pill into a little disk, in
which shape he finally leaves it sticking to
the bowl round the hole. By this time it is
quite hard, and seems coked as well as
cooked. Now be bolds it over the flame of
the lamp and, as it seethes, sucks in the
volume of faintly odoriferous smoke that it
gives forth. Three or four long and deep
inhalations —the smoke being taken away
down into the lungs—and the pill is con
sumed. Then the cooking process is re
commenced. Out of three hours of opium
smoking, two hours and a half are con
sumed in the preparatory cooking of the
drug.
Whether the practice is a very injurious
one or not; whether the incidental associa
tions of the “joint” are sometimes very im
moral or not; are questions that need not
be discussed here. Some estimable Chinese
merchants in this city smoke twenty or
thirty pipes per diem, at least, and do not
seem to be harmed by it, physically, men
tally or morally. But all that has nothing
to do with the question—Will it prevent, or
cure yellow fever ? and that is one of such
importance that it deserves speedy and ef
fectual determination.

THEY DIE IN THE STREET.
A Great Falling Off In the Death Rate
of Horses in New York.
New York, Sopt. 22. —“How many fall
dead in tho street?”
“Oh, it used to be no uncommon thing
to pick up seventy-five or eighty in the
heat of the day, but this summer we have
never found more than forty a day and the
average is below twenty-five.”
This remark was made by Mr. Kiel
manu, foreman of the factory on Barren
islind, where dead horses and dogs are car
ried.every day by the boat load to be con
verted into gas. This new Arabia is a nar
row strip of sand just beyond the dead soa
that covers Canarsie flats and within
smelling distance of Coney island.
The men who navigate these waters have
whiskers that seem to grow out of their
noses. When this peculiarity is referred to
they shake their heads solemnly and point
toward Barren island.
Atweuty-flve horse poweroder reinforced
by the interesting aroma of a 150 stewed
dogs rises out of the caldrons and starts on
its glad career. It was with difficulty tbat
1 kept my feet to walk from the boat land
ing to the factory. When I entered the
foreman’s office I was gasping for breath.
Embracing a pillar I cast an appealing
glance at the gentleman who stood at a tall
desk making entries in the ledger.
“Sickf I inquired with a tender inflec
tion as soon as I could get mv breath.
“My God, do I look sick?” he replied, eye
ing me sharply and slapping the convex sur
face of his stomach. r fo tell tho truth he
was not slender. I was about to apologize,
when ho continued: “I know what you are
going to say, but I tell you the place is
healthy. Wo have had a large force of
men here for years —never less than forty
five—and only one man has ever died on the
island. He was a slim chap who had con.
contracted consumption before he came
here.”
I was about to make another remark
when he broke in on me as follows; “No
'be, 1 can’t show yon through without a
Permit from the head office at Peck Slip.”
There was no trace of sarcasm in his face,
1 had gone far enough and was quite con
tent to take his word for everything I
wished to know concerning his factory.
'How many fall dead in the streets 7” I
ventured to ask, to which question he male
the response recorded at the beginning of
this article. “The boat kills them fast but
more die in tho winter when the streets are
slippery with snow—sometimes eighty or
ninety a dny. It is unaccountable,” he said,
"how the number has fallen off this suni
bier. I can’t understand it at all. Maybe
it’s on account of the cable cars, but it don’t
•tem as if that could make the differenco.”
‘‘How do you find the dead animals?”
“Wo aro notified by telephone of the loca
tion of a dead horse by the captain of police
the precinct In which he died. He U
then picked up by one of our wagons and
tarried to the boat, which makes one trip
a day. The dogs are brought twice a week
front the pen where they are drowned. We
8* t about 800 a week through the tummer
- sometime* more.
"When the budii* arrive at Barren island.
they are skinr.ed and put into the cauldrons.
Atter it is done stew nsr, the flesh is dried
un ll reduced to a powder, which resembles
moist sand when put into Dags and sold for
fertilizing purposes. The manes and tales
of the dorses are cut off before they are
skinned, and the hair is carefully washed
and prepared for market.”
The horse hides are sent to Europe and
the dog skins are made into gloves at
Gloversville. Then the oleo which conies
from the horse flesh adds largely to the rev
enue of the proprietors. Every horse yields
about ten gallons of oil, which is used for
machinery. They also get somewhere in
the neighborhood of $25,000 for removing
the carcasses from the street.
At a low estimate 10,000 horses are turned
into gas, oleo and fertilizing material on
this island in one year. And these horse
boilers are grumbling because the number

SALARIES ARE LOW.
Actors Find Much Cause for Dis
couragement-Plays in the Metropo
lis.
New York, Sept. 22.—Theatrical people
are growling about salaries, though it is
lamentably true that a great many of them
have at present no salaries to growl about.
The “slave market,” as that portion of
Union Square where actors most do congre
gate is called, was never so crowded. It is
asserted by those who should know that
wages have not been lower for a long
time. The summer has been a trying
time and the fall brings little hope. Ac
tors who have played Hamlet acceptably
are getting along oil rations that would not
feed The Ghost. Two reasons are cited for
the hard times. One is the perennial com-
Dlaint that the profession is overcrowded;
the other alleges that managers are becom
ing meaner every year. In illustration of
the latter, the anecdote of Mr. Harry
Miner’s trip to Newark is repeated. He is
said to have offered the company fifty
cents on a dollar of their salaries because of
a bad week’s business; and great was the
indignation at such conduct.
A fair measure of success seems to be en
joyed by the New York theaters. Cora
Tanner, in “Fascination,” continues to be
successful in spite of the much advertised
improbability of the play. Her roles re
quire the assumption of male attire, and
her appearance in such dress is the signal
for vigorous applause. She has been highly
commended for her performance which, on
the whole, is decidedly clever. She will not
go upon the road until near the middle of
next month. Metropolitan critics say that
Col. Sinn will make money with Robert
Buchanan’s “improbable comedy.”
The Hill-Mather inharmonious combina
tion which has been playing to considerable
audiences in the local courts will make no
money for either of them. The lawyers in
the cast, however, are reported as doing
very well.
“The Paymaster” at the Star this week
has not won the favor of the press. Its
leading attractions are a tank and Mrs.
O'Sullivan Dimpfel of Baltimore. Neither
the lady nor the tank was satisfactory, but
the former was treated with much less con
sideration than the latter. The verdict
was just. In ten women selected at ran
dom there would almost certainly be nine
better actresses than Mrs. Dimpfel, and
though her personal attractions are consid
erable, they cannot atonejfor her complete
lack of the power of expression. It is im
possible to put it more mildly. Neither
her voice nor her face reveals the slightest
evidence of emotion from one end of the
piece to the other. “The Paymaster” lias
very little dramatic merit; and a debate on
the tariff could not be more destitute of
originality.
Edward Harrigan has reached that point
when success is assured in advance. His
latest play, “Waddy Googan,” was given
faint praise by trie critics, most of whom
said tbat it could not attain a long run.
Manager Hanley thinks differently. The
piece draws ever increasing crowds and
bids fair to run all winter. Mr. Harrigan
is a close student of life, and bis success
founded upon this basis should be a great
encouragement to youthful and honest
playwrights. He is not a rigid realist, but
his burlesques never distort the actual be
yond an easy identification. If the writers
of more serious dramas would study as Mr.
Harrigan does, there would be fewer stulti
fying melodramas full of impossible emotion
and virtues that do not deserve their re
ward.
“The Kaffir Diamond,” witji Louis Aid
rich in the leading part of “Shoulders,” is
meeting with continued success and will
probably hold the boards for the full ten
weeks contemplated at the start. Then
Mr. Aldrich will go upon the road with it,
and his friends say that he will make nearly
as much money from it as “My Partner”
yielded. Howard Fielding.
