ALCOHOL AND THE TARIFF.
Pharmaceutfrts Want Very Narrow
Restrictions Adopted.

AsHEV1LLE. N. c.. Sept. s-The
American Pharmaceutical Association
yesterday decided to make an attempt to
secure very narrow restrictions as to the
free-alcohol clause In the new Tariff bill.
1t was agreed that with the reduced tax
there would be danger of promiscuous
selling OF the Intoxicating drug disguised
as bitters and the like. A resolution was
adopted, requesting the Secretary OF the
treasury to limit the provision regarding
free alcohol to cases where the drug Is
to be used in the manufacture of com
pounds In which II is so changed as TO
lose absolutely its chemical and physical
properties. including the classes of COM
pounds known as others, choral and
chloroform.
This would make the remission of the
tax Of little benefit to the retail d. q Z
g1st, and there was vigorous objection to
the resolution before 1t was finally
adopted. The Association indorsed the
constitution of the Interstate Druggists
League, which places a boycott on man
ufacturers and agents who furnish pat
ent medicines to dealers who cut rates.
George A. Seabury, of New York, was
reelected Chairman of the section on
commercial interests for another year.

man, living in Rutherford. n. j.. has
brought suit in the Court of Common
Pleas against John Foley, the weilknown
gold pen maker. at 1873 Broadway, for
$1,000 damages for false imprisonment
and malicious prosecution.
Edwards was employed by Foley as

we're worth. His samples were seized

as the plaintiff declares, represents the
gold stock in the pens.
The Canadian authorities would not
accept the sum. and Edwards refusing
to pay the duty, went on about other
business

month Foley had him arrested ON the
charge Of grand larceny. In the Tombs
Court Edwards was discharged. and he
