Madison, June -.

The state board of pharmacy, COM
posed OF II. Q. Frank, I'll. c. Schrank,
C. r. Beckman, L. B. HeimStreet and
A. f. Menges, has been holding a three
days session in Madison. Applicants
for certificates were examined and
other matters considered. Four cases
against druggists for not observing
the provisions of the new pharmacy
law We're reported as being in the
courts, and the district attorneys were
directed to proceed with the same.
Numerous complaints were received
from pharmacists all over the state
that some druggists We're leaving their
stores with young boys not registered,

times. The board hereby gives notice
that it is the intent of the law that
none but registered and competent

$50, goes in every case to the state
school fund. The law requiring drug
gist to keep a poison register will also
be enforced The board is of the
opinion that the register should GER
tainly be where all can see it, and the

drugs or medicines in any store where
there are no certificates displayed.

SALISBURY AND SILVER
ADVENT OF THE NEW MINISTRY
DELIGHTS THE 16 TO 1 FELLOWS.
for Speedy international None
etary Conference.

Louisville, June 25.-James B. Ne
Creary, chairman of the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs, is in the city
attending the democratic state con-
ventiOn and is running against Senator
Blackburn for chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions. McGreary was
a member Of the international none
tary conference which met at Brussels
in 1892. He says that his experience
with the English members of the con-
terence gives him the assurance that
the advent of the Salisbury ministry
will be in the interest of bt-metallism,
as Salisbury, Balfour and the others
are more favorable than ROSebery and
bis associates were for such a con-
terence. McCreary says that he is
more hopeful now than ever before
such international action as will settle
the ratio between the metals. There
are active friends in England of Di-
metallism and Salisbury will fecog-
uize them, and that ministry will be
sustained in supporting an interna-
tional agreement McCreary thinks
that such an agreement might be Sc
cured without the participation of
England, but when an international
monetary conference assemblies IN
Europe it will be encouraging to have
the support of the leading statesmen
of that country. The house Of COM
mons has already adopted resolu-
ton that is regarded as fav-
orable for an international
conference. Germany, France and
the United States have taken action
for srch a conference and if England
will now cooperate, Une metallic PROB
lem can be solved.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 25.-The
four-mile stretch of Hudson riyes
water opposite PoughKeepsie has been
christened as an intercollegiate course
by the contest which was won last
night by Columbia's eight over those
of Cornell and Pennsylvania. Cornell
was beaten by about six boat lengths,
and, while the victory was being won,
the Pennsylvania men, cramped within
three quarters of a mile of the
finish were sitting in their SHE'LL waist
deep in water, waiting to be rescued
by an approaching tug. Cornell in her
work was sharp, crisp, rapid in move
ment. Columbia had a broad reach,
through to the finish, with beef at The
start and swapping power at the finish.
Pennsylvania rowed the heavy, Ia
porous stroke Of the early times Of
aquatic contests, She gained slightly
at the send off, held her own we'll on
toward the second mile and then lost
until the finish.
At ) o'clock strong northwest Wini
began to blow, accompanied by a
heavy rain with lightning and thunder.
At $50 the rain abated. Referee Per
kins lined the men and at 6:53 gave
the word go. Yellow went up from
the crowd on the hillsides. Cornell
was the first to touch oar blades to
the water, but not the first to show IN
front. Pennsylvania starting with
stroke of 80, pushed to the
fore, while, for a few minutes.
Columbia, rowing So strokes to
the minute, and Cornell ~, were on
even terms. Pennsylvania lead
however, was very short. Almost be-
fore the spectators could Observs that
Pennsylvania had an advantage, Co
Iumbia took the lead, while Cornell
pulled even with Pennsylvania and
there stuck on even terms. The first
mile was finished by the leaders III
five minutes. AT the One-and-a-half
mile point there was a clear length OF
water between Columbia and Cornell
while Cornell was increasing her Lead
over Pennsylvania. The second mile
was finished by the leaders in six min
approaching the desperation of hel
situation, made one of the most re-
markable efforts seen in many years
in racing shell. Splashing through
the rough seas. the Ithaca men raised
their stroke up to 50 strokes per min.
ute The third mile mark only added
to the lead of Columbia and to the in
creasing disadvantage of Pennsyl
vania. The third mile was accom-
plished in five minutes and twelve
seconds. Columbia shot over the three
mile line steadily and entirely within
- -,.,nnll- 1lrInr- +he
bridge fifteen seconds later, and Penn
sylvania moving along doggedly be
cause of water abroad, came last and
toiled on one-fourth of the last mile
When it became evident that she
could not finish the race the referees
tug, ploughing on after the leaders,
passed the Quakers and gave them a
wash that filed what little empty
space remained, and the plucGy fell
lows sank slowly into the river. A
police tug rescued them. Columbia
finally crossed the line, covering the
last mile in five minutes, eight sec
onds and the four miles in 21:2O. This
is one minute and ten seconds slower
than the record is said to have been
made at New London, on the Thames
when that river was swollen by a
freShet.
