FOR A NEW COLLEGE BUILDING.

STUDENTS OF PHARMACY WILL HAVE MORE
ROOM AND CoNvENIENCTs.
The growth Of the College OF Pharmacy, Nos. 200
e11 and 213 East Twenty third ST. has been rapid
that the present building Is much small TO
modate the students who attending there. As 1t
IS. the students divided into five sections attending
the college at five different times the instruction
being given 10 each section, which might Just well
be given time the present quarters large
enough 1t has been decided 10 build structure
to meet the requirements Of te college. The present
building will be torn down and a substantial but
pretentious structure archtecuraly Will be erected
In its place.
Samuel w. Fairchid president OF the college, said to
Tribune reporter You may say that the build
ing viii surely be built and at an expense Of about
$4,000 the site Of the present college building The
first story ground floor will be let out In stores
from which the college will derive good income, the
top floor Will probably be devoted TO large hall Or
museum for the exhibition Of our herbarium, museum
and library which is the finest library pharmacy in
the United States. The intermediate floors viii be
used as lecture rooms, laboratories, etc. In our
present quarters the for the library is so con
trcted the books almost inaccessible and many
Of them are packed away In heaps, that 1t is tn
possible TO get at them for daily reference. We also
are much in need of for laboratories and places
for the exhibition OF botanical collections. We
have debt Of $4,000 the property at present but
] have contemplated holding an exhibition of drugs
and goods used in business, probably In LenoX
Lyceum, Which will be somewhat on the same plan
ss the grocers' exhibition. The exhibition OF drugs
and the apparatus for testing and handling drugs can
be made interesting while laboratories will prove
OF great interest 10 the public. BY such an exhibition
we can raise some money toward the present debt
But the money for the new building will be raised by
the friends and trustees Of the college, while the
engaged in the drug business will help also The
present property is valued at about $4,000 for the
three lots so that tire entire property when the new
building is up will be worth about S15O'OoO Our
present senior class numbers 135 students, while the
Junior class has 40 members" -
The men having the proposed new building IN charge

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
JUSTICE TO THE EsKIMos IN ALASKA.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: l wish 10 call the attention OF all good
people in The United States to a hagrant case of
national injustice and disgrace
some of the whaling ships in Behring Sea and the
Arctic Ocean are in the habit of trading large
quantities OF rle cheapest and most poisonous liquor
to our Alaskan Esktmos. BY this traffic the natives
arc debauched both morally and physically and are
kept in stare Of indescbabe squalor and wretched-
ness
There is stringent law against the traffic. but no
serious attempt is made to enforce 1t; the revenue
cruiser does not reach Cape Prince OF Waes-the
largest Eskimo settlement-until from two TO four
weeks after most OF the liquor is traded No the natives
Much OF the hquor is traded to Siberian natives
and by them reraded TO our Eslhmos some OF 1t Is
taken ON board in the Sandwich Islands
AS we have been killing of the whales and walrus
tho natural food supply and property OF the Eskinos
for our benefit It would be an act OF mere )usuce
for us TO protect them from the baeful effects OF the
civilized vces-drunkenness and proStltuton-nroduceo
by our whalers.
Revenue cruisers should be sent up earlier, so as
to search the whaling ships before they can get nroug
the ice in Behring Sea and If necessary, the CO
