as the reading of bills the first time.
This was not favored, however, by the
majority.

Mr.. McNe,l-lf my memory serves
me Alright, the legislature was never
disgraced bat once by 30 working, and
that vas at the last session, through the
efforts of the gentleman from kanasha
(Feiguson).
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Nc
NelPs motion and it was adopted by
large mSjority, and the invitation ac'
cepted.
From 10 to l2 o'clock the time was
taken up with the reading OF bills on the
first and second readings, all Of which
were Senate bills, and were either or
dered ahead or laid on the table for fur
ther consideration.
There was
One Bill Passed,
il being Senate BIZ No. 6, "a bill to reg
ulate the practice Of pharmacy and the
sale OF medicines and poisons."
The provisions Of this bill briefly
stated are as follows: Every druggist
or pharmacist or clerk employed in a
drug store must be registered after the
pas age of this act, and for doing bust
ness without being registered are sub
ject TO q fine OF from SIS to 500. the
Governor appoints three competent
pharmacists one from each hcongressional
district to be known as Commissioners
OF Pharmacy whose duty II is to see that
the law and regulations be enforced by
all. The only amendment made OF any
account was the following: IAN drugs
,pOisons and preparations sold by any
druggist shall be labeled with the name
OF the article in English or with the
common name OF any article" which was
offered by Mr.. kepner. Another i'm
portant amendment was in relation TO

Atl2 O'Clock the House took a recess
until 2:30 P. N.
Afternoon SESSION.
At half past two the body came to
order, nearly all the members being
present and the reading of the Educa-
ton Bill was resumed. The reading
was continued until 8 O'Clock at which
time the House adjourned leaving the
bill about two thirds finished. Nearly
every section thus far has been amended
in some particular. The time yester-
day, was mainly taken up discussing
education and the power
the School Beard possessed TO borrow
for school building purposes. During
the afternoon Messrs. Quarrier, Fergn-
son, MoiFett, Monroe, Leonard, Holt,
Hubbard, Riley, Lowry, and Mr.. Nor
row Chairman OF the Education Com
mitteee talked nearly all the time, one
relieving the other.

presented a resolution, which was in
effect that as to-day was the birthday Of
the great George Washington, that the
House adjourn over until Wednesday
at . o'clock A. NJ. Judge Ferguson im.
mediately rose to a point OF order, which
the chair decided well stsken. Ii was
that, by considering said resolution, the
action taken earlier in the day would be
contradicted. Mr.. Moifett moved to
reconsider that question. which was
done. Judge Ferguson and Mr.. Gran
than both expressed the hope that Mr.
Moffett's resolution would be killed,
which remarks brought Mr.. Motiett 10
his feet, and then followed speech Sec

farewell address, or the Declaration OF
Independence. The speaker was full OF
eloqunce, and the reporter was carried

and did not take a single note. He does,
however, remember hearing Mr. Mohett
say he would work until midnight, only
celebrate Washington's birthday this
time, as il might be the last in these
days of political hurry and materislism.
The day was beginning To be no more OBJ
served than grounding day, and it was
a burning, lasting shame.
At the conclusion tumultuous ap-
plause arose from one corner OF the gall
iery, where could be seen in the dark
ness the impish face OF the ubiquitous
jeff Davis. He and the clerks. pages
and reporters were apparently the only
ones VINO appreciated the efforts 10 cele
