HOW DRUGGISTS MISTAKES OCCUR.
An Observers Experience with an Over
worked Prescription Clerk.

Il think know how mistakes in prescriptions
occur" said gentlemen to the writer. 1.-THE
other day took prescription to a drug store to
have it filled for a member of my family who is
sick There was but one clerk in the store, and
he took the prescription and went behind the
prescription case to prepare it. There was
peep hole in the case so that the clerk could have
full view of the store and the front door Be
sides myself there were two other persons in the
store, idlers, I suppose, and after hearing the
mortar and pestle click two or three times, saw
the clerks eye pop up against the peephole. He
wanted to see that the loungers were not taking
anything The pestle clicked two or three times
more and lady entered at the front door, The
clerk left the prescription to attend to her. She
wanted strip of adhesive plaster. Having
waited on her he returned to the prescription.
Another click or so and another customer enters.
Man in hurry, wants a cigar The clerk flies
out and waits on him. Back again to
the prescription Another customer, a boy,
wanted a glass tube to take medicine through.
| Clerk energies from behind the counter and sells
him one. There were three or four other annoy
| ances-men wanting cigars, child wanting
cents worth of chewing gum, and a woman
| curing change for o dollar-and, finally, the
prescription was completed and delivered to me.
| 1t is my opinion that prescriptions prepared
under such numerous Interruptions and annoy
ances are hazardous remedies. Suppose NOR
phine is one of the component parts of
prescription. The clerk weighs and
puts it in the mixture, is interrupted,
forgets, and again weighs and puts in the NOR
phine. The double dose might kill Or, suppose,
being interrupted he thinks he has put in an
article required and omits it. The design of the
prescriber is thwarted and the patient may be
done to death by reason of neglect 1 may be
wrong, but it is my opinion that when compe-
tent drug clerk has prescriptionin hand land
should have nothing else to attend to until that
one thing is completed. 1t is matter for
wonder that the cigar trade and
the miscellaneous business of the
drug stores, particularly in small stores, where
there are few clerks, do not cause more mis-
takes than they do. But perhaps all of them
are not found out"

THE ODD-FELL0WS.
Nominations for Grand 0fficers-RepOrts of
officers and Committees.

The Grand Lodge, 1. o. o. F., met, yesterday
morning, in its second days session. A report
was received from the committee on legislation
on a proposition from the Hartford City Lodge
that women be admitted to the order on the
same terms as men. The committee recommend
ed that the proposition be referred to the Sever
eign Grand Lodge for action, which report was
adopted.
The general laws of the order were amended
so that hereafter a notification to delinquent
members will be required at the expiration of a
year. This is to remedy a custom which has
been the cause of frequent complaint and hard
ship-that of dropping members without Motif
cation.
A communication was received from the Mis-
souri, Grand Encampment looking to the adop-
ton of law providing for biennial sessions of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, instead of annual
sessions, upon which favorable action was taken
by instructing the Indiana representatives to
vote for the same.
The committee on legislation reported adverse
ly on amendment to the laws prohibiting
dealers in alcohol from becoming members of
the order, holding that it was the province of
lodges to say who was eligible to membership
An obituary of Joshua Vansant, treasurer of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, who died at Balti-
more, was read, and resolutions were passed on
the death of David Ferguson, of Union City, who
was a past grand officer.
The following nominations were made, to be
voted for at the next semi annual communica-
ton:
Grand Master-J. F. Wildman, of Muncie.
Deputy Grand Masters. B. Kenner of Hunting
ton.
Grand Warden-L. T. Michener of Shelbyville; A.

p H. Kirkner Paramount; Theodore Stackhouse,
Orangevie; J. w. Wartman Evansville; W. H.

mitted yesterday, were approved by the finance

Ohio jurisdiction, attended the session
The session closed with an interesting address
by Grand Sire Leech, of Keokuk, Iowa, who
has been in attendance upon the sitting of the
Grand Lodge, and was prominent spectator at
the drill of the uniform camps on Wednesday,
a new feature in the order which meets with his
warm approval.

The M@nnerchor Society is to be deservedly
congratulated for the highly successful perform
ance of Martha" given at the Grand Opera
house last night The attendance was large
and appreciative to such degree that enthusi
astic applause was very frequent. 1t can be
safely said that the M@nnerchor is the only as
ISOLATION of non professional singers in this city
that has ever given an opera in a manner that
was exceedingly suggestive of insufficient train
ing and lack of genuine lyric ability. Prof
Barus has more than once demonstrated the fact
that as an instructor and director he is I'M
equaled in this city, at least and much of the
credit of the performance last night belongs
to him. OF it it can be said in a general way
that the parts were creditably assumed,
Ghe orcestration excellent, and the chorus strong
numerically and vocally. The opera was gwen
with a spirit and effectiveness of ensemble that
many professional companies have failed to dis
play here. Mrs. Wuest assumed the title role,
and sang it very sweety, while her acting
surprisingly good. Her rendition of the Last
Rose of Summer particularly pleasing.
Miss Hessling. the contralto, made favorable
impression by her good singing and graceful
manners. The other leading parts were pre-
sented by Mr.. J. P. Frenzel lord Trestian),
Mr.. a. Heckler (Lyonel), Mr.. c. A. Benner
seheidt (Plunkettl, and Mr.. Joseph Barthies
Judge While Mr.. Hecklers voice is de-
fective in the upper register, it is other
wise of very pleasing quality, and Mr..
Bennerscheidt splendid acting made him quite a
favorite with the audience. The chorus was
well costumed and sang with much animation.
Tonight Martha will be repeated and to-mor-
row night ''Stradella," with which the society
made a hit last season, will be given. Either
performance will repay attendance.
