The Pennsylvania Railroads Second Sea-
shore Excursion.

shore Excursion.
The first seashore tour, which left here
| Thursday, July 9, was most successful
one, and many persons who were unable to
secure space will avail themselves of the
second tour, which leaves Pittsburg, Thurs
day, July %. This tour offers choice be-
tween Atlantic City, Cape May, Sea Isle
City, or Ocean City, as the rate is the same
for each.
The excursion tickets good for ten days
are to be sold at the rate of $40 from Pitts
burg, and at correspondingly low rates from
other stations
A special train of parlor cars and day
coaches will leave Pittsburg at $50 A, M
for Philadelphia, stopping at all important
junction points, where connections will be
made with trains from branch lines. Passen-
gers will spend the night in Philadelphia,
and proceed to the seashore by the regular
trains of the next day.
On account of the desirability of the sea-
shore points, the liberal limit and low rate
of the tickets, and the fine equipment of
the special train, this excursion presents the
most attractive of summer outings.
Tickets will be sold from stations named
below, and train schedule'will be as follows:

NOT INTENDED TO BE OPENED.
How the Great Breathing Apparatus of the
Court House Works.

Chief Clerk Siebert, of the Commissioners
office, in answer to the complaints that the
windows of the Court House should be con-
structed so that they could be let down to
get fresh air, states that imagination, rather
than investigation prompts the demand
And he says that the annoyance from street
traffic would be very slight if all the
windows of the building were kept closed.
He says it was not intended by the archi-
tect that the windows should be opened at
any time, as the air is changed throughout
the entire structure every three minutes
and cooled or heathed as needed, and is purer
than the air outside at the same altitude but
people on a warm day conceive the idea that
they are smothering, and but few can be
convinced that the sitting exists in their
imagination. The blocks for the soft pave
ment on Ross street were being delivered
yesterday.

lating the practice Of pharmacy which were
introduced by Mr.. McIlwaine. Of Petersburg
in the House on Monday, and which were
prepared by the State Board OF Pharmacy.
contain many careful provisions not only for
the great advancement of the general use
fulness of the profession OF pharmacy. but
also for the security Of the public at large in
the handling of dangerous poisons.
There has been too much la1ity in dis
pensing drugs and medicines hitherto. which
has in a number OF instances led TO deplora-
bic fatalities Under the terms of the Nc
Ilwaine bill no one but a registered
pharmacist or registered practicing physician
is permitted to retail, compound or dispense
medicines or poisons or conduct any store or
pharmacy for retailing these articles. Country
merchants are excepted from the operation of
this provision of the bill in the instance OF
certain medicines and drugs. which. however,
as protection 10 the purchaser, are required
to be sold in original packages as obtained
from wholesale druggists or registered
pharmacists.
All parties who apply for certificates as
licentiates in pharmacy must have had three
years experience in drug stores where physi-
clans prescriptions are compounded. The
bill also provides that the following poisons
shall be sold only when properly labeled as
poison and at the same time giving the
name and place of business of the seller:
Arsenic and its preparations. corrosive subh-
mate. biniodide of mercury, cyanide of potas-
stun, hydrocyanic acid. strychnine and essen
tial oil of bitter almonds, aconite and prepare
tons, cotton root and preparations. canthar-
ides and preparations. ergot and prepara-
tons, opium and preparations Except pare
goric and other preparations of opium con-
tanning less than two grains to the ounce,
