TEMPERANCE REFO RrI.
The New Castle County COMMITTEE
in Session To-day.

The New Castle County Committce
in Session To-day.
The New Castle County Committee OF
the temperance reform party met on the
second floor of the GAwthrop building at
2 80 o'clock this afternoon. Alfred Gaw-
throp. chairman of the committee, pre-
sided. and John Massey acted as secretary.
A letter from Daniel B.Stewart, Republic
can and temperance man OF St. Georges,
was read. Mr.. Stewart urged the unwis-
dom of a third party ticket this year. He
Thought that the Republican platform,
adopted at Dover last May, ought to hold
both the Republican and Prohibition
parties.
George w. Todd felt that the letter con-
tanned wise sentiments. While the Repub-
lican party was not quite mp to the mark
of the temperance people. it had got along
a good way. Its purpose to secure the
other reforms, for which the temperance
reform organization contended two years
ago, was strong argument for unity with
it this year. Mr. Todd favored the sur
pors Of the National Prohibition platform
and the Republican state platform.
John White Of this city wanted a state
and National ticket. Joseph Derrickson OF
Mill Creek said that meeting held near
his home on June %, the opinion FREEDOM
mated that neither local option nor high
license was wanted. A state ticket was
needed.

It ism popular error to believe that the
life Of retail druggist is one long dream
Of happiness. interrupted only by tho
counting Of the coin taken in during BUSH
ness hours, 900 per cent. Of which is pro
fit. 1t is true that there are many pre-
scriptions filed upon which handsome
return is received, but only in small
way. Patent medicines form a large part
Of the druggists stock, and the manu-
facturer Of the patent nostrums reaps
more from their sale than does the re-
tail druggist. Tho well conducted, pro-
perly appointed drug store has its fun
complement Of fancy goods for the toilet,
and for decorative as well as useful pur-
poses. On this class Of goods only fair
profit is made. Take from the receipts
tho necessary expenses, rents, license,
salaries Of employees and wear and tear, and
at the end Of the year the average drug
gist is in good luck If he has earned what
would be a good salary for a skilled pro-
fessional man, which he is compelled to be
ia his business. There is q popular
opinion that druggists make ninety nine
cents on every dollar taken in, but 1t Is

seemed to be quite sorry, but in his genial
way said: Well. Martha, anyway, we

The prevailing tendency to Christian

Pan Presbyterian council, lately convened
in London, a special object to all believ-
ers. Il was just preceded by a grand mis-
sionary conference. the object of which
was to unite the missionizing efforts of
all Christian bodies; and its session Is
contemporary with that of the Pan-Angl-
can council. making this July tho most
interesting era in the history Of recent
Christianity and London for the time the

Montreal; Judge Taylor, Of Manitoba;
Professor William McLaren, of Toronto,

the active representatives of the western
continent The eminent scholar and di-
vine. DR.. Blaikie of Edinburgh, was an
active participant Over 4,000, 600 mem
bers of the Presbyterian denomination
were represented.
These councils now rank among the
greatest religious gatherings in the world,
and have so ranked since 1884 when the
ever memorable council met at Belfast,
Ireland. If there is any one section more
than another where every Presbyterian
heart would throb with aspirations for
complete reunion it is the north Of Ire
land; and as far as the human eye can SEQ
it would appear that the Belfast council
was the beginning Of an active move
ment that viii soon reunite in one great
body the Presbyterians Of the world.
"a
The notable feature Of this confer
ence is the complete representation Of all
the Christian world. making 1t indeed q
Pan-Anglican conference; and this natur-
ally recalls the origin and growth Of this
method Of Christian activity. It should
be noted in the start that this conference
has no powers to change doctrines or dis
cipline members; it is purely an advisory
| body.
/ Il had its origin in an invitation sent in
1 1851 to American bishops to join in the
third jubilee of the Society for the Pro
pagation Of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.
/ By successive requests and invitations a
sort Of synod Of all Episcopal churches
was agreed upon; yet many years passed
before it was a practical success. On
Feb.22, 1867, the archbishop of Canter.
bury issued an invitation to all bishops in
communion with the Church of England
and on the oath Of the following Septem-
Der the assemblage occurred. Serious
differences Of opinion as to the legality Of
the deposition of the noted DR.. Colensc
by the bishop of Capetown, South Africa
caused a sort of schism in this first con
ference, but at subsequent gatherings
these differences were made Of no effect
