A Man Who Wanted to Be q Mason.

A jury de lunatico inquirendo was i'm
paneled in the Criminal Court yester-
day to examine into the case of Charles
Anderson, charged with persistent dis
orderly conduct in. and about the Ma
sonic Temple. Messrs. Charles Kemp.
w. H. Nicholson, L. A. Dorm, Drs.
Hoffman and Pennington, and MIR. John
S. Tyson. Grand Master of Masons in
MARYLAND, were severally examined.
Their evidence was to the effect that the
man first made his appearance about
the temple in April last and said that he
wanted to be made Mason. He was

he was treated civilly and asked to pre-

carefully examined the man, and was

ened examination by the jurymen, and
generally answered pointedly and Otter
pertly. To question by the foreman,
+" Are you crank?" he answered sau-
oily, GAS much a crank as you are"
The jury seemed gradually to come to
the conclusion that he was more of
smart professional tramp than a
"crank,'' and so rendered a verdict
that he was sane and amenable to pun
ishment, if convicted of the offense with
which he was charged. His case was
accordingly sent to the Grand Jury.
During the examination he gave the
names and address of sister and broth
er who, he said, lived in Harrisburg.
The names were taken by Mr.. Tyson,
who will probably have them written to.

Bulls and Bears.

The etymology of the term ''bear" is
believed to be this: When q dealer in
stocks, or for that matter, in merchan-
disc, had sold more than he was capable
of delivering he was naturally bare of
the article and it was as naturally his
interest that prices should fall in order
that he should cover his engagements
and be no longer bare. From the adj
jective, the transition to the substantive
of the same sound (bear) was easy.
The growing bear being thus embodied,
his antitype, the bull, was not long max
ing an appearance. It is somewhat
curious to find in the popular mind q
diffused notion that bulls are the more
virtuous creatures. This is sometimes .
fallacy. The bull is usually Spectator
who proposes to gain merely by market
fluctuations, and to fish in troubled
waters. The real investor, for instance,
is often . bear in spirit, because he
awaits an opportunity to buy cheaply.
The cotton manufacturer who contracts
to sell cloth is in spirit q bear of yarn
and other materials, which he requires
to buy cheaply-that Is, unless he has
already bought too much Of such ma
terials, in which case he has over-trad-
ed. Some amount of speculation is no
doubt good, wholesome, and necessary
in business. It is only when the one
party is much overpowered by the OPP
posing party that mischief results. For
years past the bulls have had their own
way in France, being able. to borrow
money with singular facility, until few

unwonted sense of leisure and keen anticipa-
ton of pleasure, his talk was al, in the CRATE
full and gratulatOrv vein. He felt that after

that the grave difficulties confronting him at

Away while the pulses bound and thrill
And the jnbilant senses high reyel hold
Where life seems pastime, and keen desire
Longs new Joys to Inherit, new hopes to unfold.
The sky floats In mild autumnal haze;
Weswecp through magical atmosphere;
And soft on the musical, misty air
The murmufous cling Of bells rings clear.
Tho river like some framed picture Lies
Girded by woods-the dreamy woods,
Flame colorcd emblems OF nature, bright
In all her fanciful, changing moods.
Fauns, dryads and breads wander here,
Mid the odorous pines, or in oaken glsdes,
Where the boughs iestooned with the ivy and
berry
Flick the forest with wsvering lights and shades.
me sand built hills stretch far in the distance,
win their purple rims against the sky;
And slowly, athwsrt the tremulous ether,
The hee.y clouds, like white ships, sail by,
10 the sky at the Gods touch CLOVIS warm y
with ruby, and ember, and tawpy gold;
And gently the twilight, SOFT grey, mantle,
Envelopes the earth inlts magic folds.
"hlle llesper glimmers, sweet star Of promise,
My love and ride home together:
stil fingers the thrill OF these hours of gladness,
That ride in the blue, unclouded weather.

PAUL G. SCHUH,
DEAR SIR Recognizing the fact that
there il to a certain extent, a mutual Deepen
dency existing between the professions of
pharmacy and medicine, and feeling that a
better understanding Of the function and
duties OF the two profession should be re
cognized and adhered to, we, Of the medi-
cal profession of Cairo, object to the fire.
quent habit of druggists of this city, Of
diagnosing diseases and prescribing medi'
cines, for the following reasons:
First The science Of pharmacy does
not include knowledge Of the science of
medicine.
Second. You are violating the medical
practice act, by 50 doing, and robbing the
physicians of their Legitimate business
Third. You are practising deception
upon the sick therefore we ask you to sd
here to the law governing the practice Of
medicine.
Another grievance to which we respect
fully ask your attention, is the matter of
retilling prescriptions without authority OF
the physicians who have written them The
above practice is injurious to both patient
and physicians; the patient often suffering
from the effects of improper medicine, and
the physician because he ia practically
held responsible for the action OF the medi-
cine he did not prescribe.
Again we hold that the original owner
of the prescription loses his ownership in
the same, as soon as it is once filled and
placed on file, and that he has no right to
demand that it be taken from the file and
be reflled, except by the order of the pre-.
scribing physicians. We therefore ask
you to discontinue the practice.
After due deliberation, we the under
signed members of the Medical Associa-
ton of Cairo" have resolved not to patron
ize directly or indirectly, any druggist,
who shall after this date, be known to pre-
scribe for any one requiring the services of
physician, or who shall refill or duplicate
prescriptions without the written or verbal
authority of the physician. Respectfully,
