WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Two DcflMitH Persons Cans Excite
cat la the Vktalty la Which
Thejr Reside.
Evidence of insanity in two persons,
a. 16-year-od girl and a middle-aged
man, has for the past few days created
great excitement in the neighborhood
of Boone hill, where the unfortunate
people reside.
The (Irl is Katie Smith, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith, of 2016
Jackson street. She has been affected
for a month past. The insanity Is
shown by incoherent and meaningless
speech. Last Monday night the girl
was sitting on the porch of John Mc
Namara's residence, across the road
from the Smith home. She held in her
arms a babe and the air was rent nith
cries from her lips as she swung the
Infant about. A crowd collected in
front of the house and the efforts of the
girl's relatives to pacify her only In
creased her demented frenzy. Finally
she was taken into the house. The
poor unfortunate has shown signs of a
weak mind for the past month. The
mother has suffered greatly from her
daughter's condition. The cause of the
insanity is continued Buffering from
catarrh. It may be necessary to have
the girl taken to an asylum. This fact
has confronted the parents for a time
past, but they are loath to take the
step. The girl was somewhat calmer
than usual last evening.
, The spectacle of a bare footed man,
hatless and only scantily dressed, run
' ning about the streets, was Bhown yes
terday to people near Filmore avenue
and adjacent streets. He Is John Sll
cox, aged 47 years, and his home is at
109 North Filmore avenue. Several
months ago Sllcox. who Is a miner at
Brlggs colliery, was Injured by a fall
of top coal. One of the resultant In
juries was a wound on the head. This
may have caused the present dement
ed condition of the man.
Recently he suffered a paralytic
stroke and for many weeks past strict
confinement to his home has been or
dered by the attending physician. Dr.
Beckwlth. Shortly after noon yester
day Sllcox ran out from the house and
began his mad run down the avenue.
He went up Jackson street as far as
Van Buren and from thence to Price
street and down the hill to Grant ave
nue, where the pursuers, who amounted
to u crowd, caught up to the man and
held him. In answer to questions he
said he wanted to work and was on his
way to Brlggs' mine. This answer gave
rise to the report that Sllcox had
Jumped down the shaft.
When a Tribune reporter entered the
man's home last evening he was sit
ting in a chair with a coat thrown over
his shoulders. Around him were sever-
men who were present to prevent
further demonstration. Sllcox has
very appearance of a semi-demented
and from his eyes there glared an un
natural look. He spoke but once during
the period and then it was a senseless
expression. Sllcox is a widower. He
has worked at Brings' mine for the
PROUBLE ON JACKSON STREET.

atrolman Martin Ourrell to the Main

noer's ear. The information was that

From the Philadelphia Times.
The Americans are becoming a bil
ious race. It is because they do not eai
enough "greens." Such, at all events, is
the o:ilnion that will be expressed by
Secretary Morton lm the forthcoming
Year Hook of the department of agri
culture. ...... n". .
It appears that there are lots of use
ful vegetables growing wild all over tho
country, Vhe people, regarding them
as weeds, pay no attention to them. In
other parts of the world the value of
many of them is JUEtly appreciated es
pecially In Europe. Savage races In
general have a habit of utilizing green
herbi in springtime. That tired feeling.
so much advertised in the newspapers
at this season of the year, would not be
so prevalent If the consumption of fresh
yarbs from field and meadow were
more common. The worst state of af
fairs exists In the south, where an un
varying diet of corn bread, bacon and
molasses has produced a widespread
and chronic condition of biliousness.
There Is a great deal that Is very In
teresting about the wild pot herbs of
the United States. The best known of
them is the dandelion. At this season
large quantities of dandelion leaves are
gathered and sold in the markets. Th3
dandelion is a native plant on our high
er mountains; but the dandelions of our
lawns and pastures have been brought,
like so many other common weeds, from
Europe. While the dandullon occurs In
almost all parts of this country, it is
not a common plant In and west of the
great plains, nur in the extreme south.
The market gardeners in the neighbor
hood of Paris have been cultivating the
dandelion for the last twenty-five years,
and three recognized horticultural va
rieties have been developed within that
time. In Paris dandelions are eaten as
salad, green or blanched. When they
are employed as a pot herb the water
In which they are boiled is changed two
or three times during the process, In or-
der to remove the bitter taste.
ONLY A WEED.
The common garden purslane, more
commonly known as "pusley," occurs
as a weed in almost every garden in the
United States; yet rarely does one meet
with a person who has ever eaten It or
who knows of its usefulness as a pot
herb. It Is a great annoyance to gard
eners, being difficult to eradicate; as
Charles Dudley Warner says, its roots
take hold on hell. The plant Is a na
tive of India, where it has been culti
vated from the earliest times, and was
such an early accompaniment of civil
ization as to have a Sanscrit name. It
was carried westward to Europe and
has there been in use for centuries as
a salad and pot herb. Indeed, several
varieties are now known In cultivation.
In this country, however, It is known
only as a weed, its principle economic
value being supposed to be as a food
for hogs a purpose to whtch large
quantities of it are devoted. As a pot
herb it is very palatable, retaining,
when cooked, a slightly acid taste.
Kale a species of cabbage that does
not form a head is a very common pot
herb. It is sometimes called "German
greens." Like - cabbage, It requires
thorough cooking, and It is not remark
ably digestible. The young leaves of
the every day turnip, either green or
blanched, are frequntly used as a pot
herb, especially in e South. Among
country people the ' marsh marigold"
or cowslip, is a favorite pot herb. This
plant Is a native of the Northern United
States and British America, extending
from New England northward to Alas
ka. It grows In cold swamps and wet
meadows, shooting up in the spring
through the shallow water. It Is gath
ered In bud or Just as the flowers are
beginning to open.
AS TO SPINACH.
The common garden spinach culti
vated everywhere in Europe and the
United States may be considered the
typical pot herb of both continents.
The plant, which waa unknown to the
Greeks and Romans, is believed to
have originated In Persia and to have
been carried both westward and east
ward, ultinately finding Its way to
China as well as to America. Several
varieties of spinach are known in cul
tivationfor example, prickly-seeded
spinach Flanders spinach and lettuce
leaved spinach. The New Zealand
spinach, which originated In that
country, was brought to Europe by
Captain Cook In his voyage around the
world. Another common European pot
herb, though by no means so Important
as spinach, is "charlock.'! It occurs as
a weed across the northern part of the
United States and is troublesome In
wheat growing regions. It Is a near
relative of the black mustard, but may
be distinguished by Its large pods, one
to two Inches long. In thls-country It
is not utilized at all, and it Is reputed
to be poisonous.
Two species of dock,' the broad
leaved and the curled, are common
weeds In pastures and fields. Their
root leaves in spring are often used as
a pot herb, sometimes mixed with,
dandelions. "Patience dock" Is largely
cultivated in Europe as a pot herb, and
In America it is grown to a small ex
tent for the tame purpose. Perhaps the
commonest and most widely diffused of
the weeds which might be used for hu
man food Is that known as "lamb's
quarters." It Is otherwise known as
"goosefoot." In Its young stage, when
six to eight Inches hgh, it is tender and
succulent. It belongs to the same
family as the beet and spinach. Winter
cress, another valuable pot . herb, . is
cultivated to a considerable. extent in
the eastern part of the United States.
The plants here enumerated do not by
any means comprise all species . that
might be used as pot herbs. They are
seicctea Dy wr. sr. v. t-'ovllie, the bot
anist of the department of agricul
ture, with a view to suggesting to peo-'
pie In every part of this country cer
tain plants growing In their own region
which are available for such purposes.
It is believed that the common nettle
and milkweed might be utilized pro
fitably. This Is a subject on which the
people generally ought to be Instruct
ed, In order that they may not allow
valuable foods to go to waste. .
HERBS FOR ROOT BEER.
Great Quantities of herbs are collect
ed annually for the manufacture of root
beer. They are put up dry in half
pound packages, mixed In proper pro
portions and sent all over the United
States. They are obtained chiefly from
North Carolina, especially among the
Black mountains, where 1b the most
wonderful region In the world for medi
cinal plants. There they are gathered
Dy Indians, who live on a reservation
in the vlclnity.and who find in this busi
ness a very remunerative Industry.
They attach superstitious notions to
the simples, and various quaal-rellglous
ceremonies are observed incidentally
to nicKinw ana nigging them. They drv
them and sell them In bulk to dealers
In naltrhhnflnii1 ftum, i '
The herbs, barks and roots thus col
lectcd are sorted by skilled botanists, In
order that one vegetable species may
not be mixed with another and are put
up in bales, sacks ana barrels. The con
cerns engaged In this business send clr-
culars to apothecaries all over the Unit
ed fitatea. (juotlnar prices. The apothe
caries and wholesale dealer In drugs

green are supposed to purify the blood.
The other herbs, etc., have various bene
ficial effects on the system. New Hamp

cultivated for medicinal uses by the
Shaker at Lebanon. -Though root beer

is used particularly for a spring medi
cine, with the addition of hops and Ja
maica ginger, the latter for a stimulant.
In fact. It is sort of shotgun prescription
warranted to hit anything that may be
the matter with a pert on.
- There are lots of useful plants which
are not employed by men. Parsnips, the
oyster plant, parsley, the artichoke and
spinach are all of comparatively recent
discovery. The tomato waa not sold in
northern market until 1S29. No one
that sees the wild cabbage on the sea
coast of Europe will find It easy to Ima
gine that a table vegetable could be
made of It by cultivation. There are
about 110.000 species of tlowerlng plants
In the world, and of these barely 300 are
cultivated. In tl"- .1 'i-rfV Sr-vr Mex
ico and Southern California the seeds of
a plant related to the common gaiden
sage are gathered by Indians, who
knock them out of the pods with racquet-shaped
bats. They are roasted by
putting them Into a basket with hot
charcoal and shaking them about. Then
they are ground between stones, and the
meal is eaten In the form of meal or
cakes. Experiments are being made In
the cultivation of the plant. Its yield
when wild Is scanty, but It might be
greatly Improved:
MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New York, June 2. Stocks were dull
again today, but the tendency of prices
was downward. London, which gave the
local market quite a little support yes
terday, turned up as a seller of St. Paul
and Louisville and other of its specialties.
The strength of the radical sllverltes and
the chances of an early passage of the
Butler anti-bond bill by the senate it was
said disturbed the foreigners, and for
these reasons they wer disposed to reduos
their holdings of American securities. In
cidentally the further reduction of '4
cent per pound In Refined Sugar and the
veto of the so-called Whitney bill by the
governor of Massachusetts contributed to
the depression. A reduction in the poatel
rate for demand bills to 469 and liberal of
ferings of acceptances drawn against se
curities recently sold abroad which ought
to atop gold shipments for a time at least
were Ignored. German bankers, who evi
dently have unfilled orders for Russian
account, advanced their price 1-32 of 1 per
cent., but local bankers are of opinion
that shipments In the near future will be
light. Some of them assart that gold can
not be shipped at a profit even at the Ad
vance offered by the Berlin financiers. The
selling of stocks for London was taken ad
vantage of by the room traders and the
bears generally and the active list re
corded declines of UalVi per cent., Sugar,
the Internationals, Grangers and Tennes
see Coal all being prominent. Leather,
Preferred, first dropped to 63 on reports
that the dividend would be passed, but
later on, when It was announced that th-
management had decided to distribute 1
per cent, on July 1 the stock Jumped to
S4a53ly,. Bay State Gas broke from ?94
to 2SW on sales of 3,300 shares. The market
closed weak at about the lowest point of
the day. Net changes show losses of V.a
lt Der cent. Bav State Gas. however, loct
6V per cent. Total sales were 106,916
shares.
