BOOMERS AT THE DRUGGISTS
Keep in Stock Things the Public Doesn't
Hanker After.

Hanker After.
Other. things than champagne are ad-
vertised by men hired to order particu-
lar article in loud tones and at conspicu-
Gus places. Retail druggists say that a
new tonic sold at the soda fountains is
now being urged upon the public in this
fashion. A man enters a drug store, calls
for the tonic, feigns surprise when told
that 1t is not kept there, and goes fuming
away in arch of 1t, because, he explains,
1t has been recommended to him by his
doctor Much the same thing occurs
day or two later, and third or fourth
time until the druggist begins to think
he must keep the thing.
Some new thing of the sort appears
every few months, to be urged in this
fashion. The druggist Is asked to display
new soaps, new face powders, new hair
restorers. and a constant succession OF
new drinks. None of them continues TO
sell without newspaper advertising, and
more must be spent every year for this
purpose. Much OF the early demand Is
purely fictitious, the work of hired touts,
or of physicians hired or deceived. When
the thing has become well established and
the druggists must keep 1t, the pro-
prietors begin to put 1t elsewhere. IL IL
offered cheap at the groceries, and then,
III its popularity Is considerable, the
great department stores buy it in large
quantities, sand greatly undersell both
the grocers and the druggists. This has
been the history of the hundred and one
stomach bitters, Many OF them were
notoriously invented for the use and BEN
eft OF strait-laced communities where
alcoholic liquors could not be drunk
openly, and under their own names. Few
of these things are sold in New York, but
some of them flourish in rural commun-
itias

TELEGRAPHERS STRIKE
Walkout Ordered on Canadian
Pacific Railroad.
500 Hen Quit Work, While the Rail-
road Officials say Only Three or
Four Men Quit.

Montreal, Can. Sept. 2S.-A strike of
the telegraph operators and train dis
patchers on the Canadian Pacific rail
road was ordered for 9 o'clock tonight.
Just how many men went out cannot be
ascertained.
Assistant General Manager Thomas
TAFT, in an interview this evening, said /:
"a committee claiming to represent the
telegraph operators sought an interview
with the executive officers at Montreal
today for the purpose of discussing some
alleged grievances. They and the tele-
graph operators whom they claim to
represent have declined to inform the
officers of the divisions on which they
are employed of 'hese alleged grievances
as they are required to do by the regu-
lations of the company. This appears
to be the sole and only reason for the
strike which has been ordered. When
the strike was ordered at o'clock, one
operator at the Windsor street station
in Montreal walked out, and am in
formed that two or three train dis
FATHERS and few operators of lesser
importance did likewise"
Assistant Chief Pierson of the Teleg-
raphers' union states that over 500 train
dispatchers and operators have stopped
work.
Toronto, Ont, Sept. 2S.-The strike of
the telegraphers on the Canadian Pacific
road, ordered from Montreal, affects To-
ronto very little. The men here say
they have some grievances, such as I'M
derPay and having to do work other
than telegraPhing, but think their differ
ences with the company can be adjusted

Gently advanced by the court at the in

of the Pennsylvania court was correct on
the point that the expedition was q
violation of the neutrality laws. The
Judgment of this court was affirmed as to
WibOrg, but reversed as to the mates,
Johansen and Petersen, on the ground
that they were ignorant of the purpose
of the expedition. Justice Harlan con-
Cured in the reversal of the Judgment as
to Petersen and JOhansen, but disSented
from the Judgment affirming the sentence
against Wiborg.
The opinion of the court below in the
