Leaps Over a Carriage.
Novel readers may remember thatsin
one of Charles Lever’s rollicking stor-
ies the hero a dashing Irish dragoon
is made to leap his horse over a small
cati in a P -tuguese street. Except
among hs -riding fox hunters this
incident ha. generally been regarded aS
very much overdrawn but this opin-
ion will now have to be modified. At
a circus in Berlin recently Miss Pepina
a young Italian girl performed the
astonishing feat of jumping her favor-
ite mare across an open victoria in
which four men were seated. This
young woman was born in Trieste of
wealthy’ parents and from childhood
MISS REPINA’S DARING FEAT
showed great liking for horseback ex-
ercise. In her early teens she could
ride much better than any woman in
town even the men finding difficulty in
keeping up with her. After much urg-
ing her parents allowed her to appear
In the Circus Vidoli at Trieste where
her daring performance soon made her
such a name that to-day she commands
a higher salary than any other pro-
fessional equestrienne in Europe. Her
chief feat previous to the one de-
scribed above was to jump her mare
over four fair-sized ponies standing

GRAND COLUMBARIUM.
To Be Built in the Odd Fellows’ Cem-
etery at Snu Francisco.
Cremation is something more than a
theory in Sau Francisco; it is a practice
that is becoming more and more com-
mon as the years pass. At the Odd
Fellows’ cemetery in that city from four
to six bodies are reduced to ashes every
week and at the present time there are
urns in which the dust of 300 human
beings are inclosed now awaiting the
orders of relatives. It is not the inten-
tion of the cemetery associations to
neglect any of these even though no
one should claim them and to properly
care for them the largest and hand-
somest columbarium in the United
States is about to be constructed. It
will occupy a space of 90 feet in diam-
eter will be circular in form with four

wings united by quadrants making a
secondcircularintheinterior. The style
will be renaissance and the walls will
be of brick covered with cement. Gran-
ite steps will lead to the main entrance
access being obtained through hand-
some bronze grill doors to a handsome
monumental vestibule paved with-mo-
saic. In the rotunda eight columns will
rise to the height of three stories sup-
porting a dome 50 feet in diameter
leading by means of marble stairways
to galleries extending to the wings and
quadrants. A rich effect will be pro-
duced by the art glass coverings of all
of the light openings and the marble
and bronze of tablets panels pilasters
and cornices within the dome. This will
be further heightened by the presence
of artistic urns of bronze or alabaster
in full view from the rotunda while
back wall space will be reserved for
more humble receptacles of human
ashes. These niches will be sold singly
or in groups and in front of each will
be a marble slab bearing the name of
the dead or a bronze gate upon which
space will be left for the record of the
dead. The columbarium will cost in the
neighborhood of $40000.

NEGROES LIKE COCAINE.
With Many It Has Taken the Place
of Whisky.
Slave* to the Drug Will Sell Their
All to Buy It—Queer State of Af-
fair* Existing nt Evans*
Ville Ind.
According to the Evansville (Ind.)
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer the habit of “snuffing” cocaine
which has been taken up by lower
classes qf that city has developed at
an astonishing rate and is rapidly at-
tracting public attention. The evil re-
sults of this practice are numerous and
scarcely a day passes Tout what some
victim of the new fad finds himself be-
hind the bars for some deed committed
while under the influence of the drug.
“Cocaine drunks” are common upon the
docket of the police court and they
are dealt with in precisely the same
manner as the common drunkard.
The only difference is that the vic-
tim of drink sometimes can recall
what occurred during the debauch but
it has not yet been found that a prison-
er before the court for indulging in the
use of cocaine can remember anything
of what took place prior to his arrest.
Cocaine “snuffing” was introduced in
Evansville about two years ago by a
party of negroes from Louisville and
St. Louis. Since then it has grown so
in popularity that it is taking the place
of drink to a certain degree. In the
section of the city whore the lower
population is the greatest druggists
find a ready sale for cocaine. The drug-
gist buys it in the crystallized form
and pulverizes it for his customers.
At first the dealers wiuld not sell it
in less quantities than one dollar’s
worth but the repeated and frequent
demands for it in smaller quantities
were successful and now it can be bad
in any quantity. It is said that there
are several druggists in the colored
quarter of that city whose trade is near-
ly entirely made up of the sale of co-
caine. One druggist lias been so an-
noyed by his “all night” customers that
he now prepares the drug in five and
ten-cent packages which he takes to
his sleeping apartments with him. A
kuock at his door informs him that he
has a customer and he lowers a small
ALL-NIGHT CUSTOMERS.
box from the window of the second
story and receives the money after
which the cocaine is lowered by the
same process.
Au immense profit is realized from
the sale of cocaine. A year ago cocaine
cost the dealer eight dollars an ounce
but to-day it can be purchased at $3.50
per ounce. The decrease in the whole-
sale price has not noticeably affected
the retail price but the consumers will
have it at any price.
The habit is not confined to any sex.
Men women and children partake of
the narcotic with the same degree of
satisfaction and its effects are sadly
demoralizing. The negroes congregate
at night in small crowded rooms and
the revelry once begun continues until
the are all helplessly
overcome. At some of these gather-
ings beer is sometimes dispensed but
if one of the two luxuries must be omit-
ted it is always the beer.
The cocaine is taken similar to snuff.
A pinch of it in the fingers is inhaled
through the nostrils in such quantities
as the age of the subject will permit.
The first effects of the drug are highly
pleasing and it is not until the stimu-
lation is wearing away that the victim
becomes crazed and gives way to all
the appearances of a maniac. While in
this condition one will commit almost
any crime to secure more of the drug
and it is here that the most difficulty is
experienced.
Men and women who perhaps have
not a morsel of food in their homes
and scarcely any clothing on their
backs will part with their last penny to
obtain cocaine. So popular has the fad
become that recently a “cocaine social”
was given at which some 15 or 20 ne-
groes attended. For this function an
ounce of cocaine had been purchased
and the “social” was conducted until
all who had attended we-e overcome by
the powerful effect of the drug.
