A meeting OF contractors on District pub-
lie work was held at 49, 7th street las, eve
nins-Mr r H. Ryan in the chair and R. w.
were Messrs. OHare, T. P. Mergaf. ]. a..
stafford, F. H. Finley, 9. Tally, Rich. Roth
well, E.; Z. Barnes, Thomas Joyce, Jacob
T. A. Brown, and William Fletcher. The
chairman having bfiefy stated the object of
the meeting TO be 10 take measures looking
c 20 aecurang payment for work done under the
rotary prepare memorial setting forth their
grievances, and that q COMMITTEES be ap-
pointed to present il.
Mr. j. g. stafford suggested that the best
mode would be 70 employ counsel to present
their claims, and IL they do not succeed be-
fore Congress, then go into the courts. They
had been badly treated. and should have
some redress. They had been given certii-
Gates which now have no value, and the
banks Will not loan one thousand dollars on
ten thousand dollars OF such certificates. He
believed that IL their case was properly pre-
scented 10 Congress they would get relief.
Congress, he had no doubt, would have
passed some bill for their relief, but there
were some soreheads who thought that the
con tractors were q set OF thieves and some
Of these parties had been bowling about Con-
gress that there was fraud aud corruption ,
Mr. Rothwell suggested that the drawing
OF the memorial should be placed I'm the
hands of the committee.
Mr.. Morgan remarked that IL they went 10
Congress with memorial he had no doubt bu e
that they would get the pay due them. The
Committee on the District was accessible
and would hear them, but counsel might
leopard the bill.
Mr.. Rothwell thought IL would not be
miss for the committee TO be supported by
counsel.
Mr.. Jos. Williams thought the best plan
would be topiepare memorial setting forth
what was due them. and afterwards they
could take up the matter OF unfinished work
and cancelled contracts.
Mr.. Finley moved that a committee of
four be appointed TO draft a memorial, which
was adopted. Messrs. +. III. Finley, T. p.
Morgan, Jos. Williams, K. f. Barnes and X.
w. bowman, were appointed the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Morgan moved that the contrac tors
present pledge themselves to become respen-
sible each for his portion of the expenses of
their operations; agreed to.
Mr.. Williams moved that they adjourn TO
Thursday at 2 O'Clock, when the memorial
can be considered, and committee ap.
pointed TO present il to the District Com
mittee at their meeting on Friday, carried.

The n RATIONAL COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
met yesterday for the purpose OF considering
mouse DILL 70. 1y39S, TO regulate the practice
OF pharmacy In this District; the president
X b. Ferguson, In the chair, and Mr. J. G.
Fill secretary. The second section of the
scriptions and sale OF drugs by registered
pharmacists or registered assistant pharma-
cists, was the first subject brought up and
IL was held that this provision creates two
classes OF pharmacists, proprietors aud as
slstants, and wherever the words registered
assistant pharmacist" occurred they should
be stricken out; also, the provision that no
not leave his store or pharmacy In charge of
any but a registered pharmacist. Mr..
thompson said there was nothing in the
world so dangerous as a boy who had been in
q store for two years. Such a boy Thought
that there was nothing In the business that
ne did not know, and he (Mr. Thompson)
considered such one as the most dangerous
Ingredient in the shop. The fourth section,
providing for the registration wi thout ex-
animation OF all prOprietOrs OF pharmacies
al the time OF the passage of the bill, and of
all assistants OF four years standing, was
approved, with the omission, as provided for
before, OF the words registered assistant
pharmacists and the Insertion of five
years" instead OF "four years standing" and
"tWenty-ohe years of8ge" after all assistants
section ninth, providing for fees of five dol
lars for registration Of pharmacists, two dol
lars Tor assistant pharmacists, and q We dol
lars Tor each examination, was amended so
as 10 make the fee for registration three dol
lars and the clause referring to assistant
pharmacists was striker out. The bill. with
these amendments, was then approved, and
me committee was instructed to present the
revised Dill 10 the Senate, with the recon-
mendations OF the college that 1t pass.
