M,KINLEY ANECDOTES.

These are the days when the fellows
who have at some time or other had
something or other to do in some way
Of other for or with Presidential Can
didate Mckinley, are coming to the
front. One young man graphically de-
scribes how the major acted while he
was having patent leather shine put
on his shoes by the loquacious knight
of the blacking brush. Another worthy
tells of McKinley's method of holding
his head while submitting to the opera
ton of being shaved, and the champion
yarn spinner Of all has just appeared
in the person of street car conduc-
tor who explains how he once collected,
without protest from the victim, two
fares from the then governor of Ohio,
and how, having discovered his mis-
take, he promptly and honestly re-
turned the, extra cents, which, of
course. he had to pay out of his own
pocket-perhaps.
The thing that surprises most people
IS that newspapers will print such
stuff, which, outside of its triviality,
carries on it's face convincing evidence
of the fact that it is either unadulter-
ated fabrication or gross exaggera-

Some Development in the Legal
Fight Expected Today.

Some definite step will be taken to-
day, to test the legality of the ordi-

board of public works. What this step
will be President r. L. German could
not say last night. Counsel for the
board was engaged all day yesterday.
he said, in considering the best method
of getting quick action in the courts;
but there were so many complications
that no decision had been reached. The
p talk about the city hall was that the
city clerk and the Glo e, as city
printer, would be enjoined from pub
fishing the ordinance, which is neces-
sary to make it effective. Capt. Cor
man did not, however, give the slight

stated above.
Unnecessarily, as many people think.

little reason to expect, however, that

An Experience in Proat-sharing.

New York Post
An Ohio manufacturing concern, which has
been experimenting with proft-sharing plans
for eleven years, has finally evolved a plan
radically different from proft-sharing and
more like a permanent wage increase with
provision for Withholding the increase from
the more negligent workmen. At first the
commonly talked of plan of dividing a GER
tain portion of the profits among the work
men was tried, each employe sharing accord
ing to his earnings. The first dividend to
employees was declared at the end of six
months and was at the rate of 13.47 per cent
on the wages paid. One workman received
$275 dividend Buttit was found the men did
not take much interest in this plan, so it was
modified and the men were arbitrarily classi-
fed according to the interest they were un-
derstood to show in their work and their eff
cheney, the most active receiving a larger
share than the Others and all dividends being
withheld from those who were noticeably care
less. The money so withheld did not go to
the firm, but was added to the part allotted
to the workmen and divided among them.
Then the firm became a corporal on and the
plan was changed. The average amount paid
had been a. IL per cent dividend so 1t was
decided to pay a uniform rate of IL per cent
on wages the right to withhold dividends for
neglect being retained. Employees are helped
to buy stock if they wish. Employers and
employees are said to be satisfied with this
arrangement.

HE LOST HIS BALANCE AND
PLUNGED DOWN TO THE
BASEMENT.
HIS DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS.

The first fatality in connection with
the building of the new postoffice
occurred yesterday. Laurence Collins,
an ironworker employed in setting
beams on the roof Of the structure.
lest his balance while at work and fell
from the roof to the sub basement, a
distance Of 125 feet. Collins was at work
with his brother Stephen Collins fitting
in an iron beam on the roof at the
northeast corner of the building. One
end of the beam had been secured by
bolt and Collins was told by his
brother to give the beam a shake in
order that the second bolt might be put
in place. In some way Collins, who was
seated straddle of another beam, lost
his balance and fell The sixth floor of
the building is laid with plank over the
beams and 1T is only about twelve feet
from the place where Collins was at
work to the planking. This would have
saved the falling workman, but as
chance would have it there was a six
FOOT opening in the planking and
through this Collins fell During his
fall, Collins hit the beams on the sew
eral floors and when he struck the floor
In the sub basement, he was terribly
mangled and crushed and died before
assistance reached him. Medical aid
was at once summoned, but the I'M
fortunate fellow was past this stage.
Collins was single man and lived
with his parents at lis Viola street.
He was % years old and had been en-
ployed by A. H. Wolf, the contractor
for the iron work on the building, for
the last three months. He had recently
been laid off and went to work again
Monday. The coroner was notified, but
after hearing the statement of the
brother Of the dead man as to the
cause of the accident, decided an in
quest unnecessary.
Collins father, who is employed as
custodian in Rice park, heard of the &C
cident and went to the building when
the patrol wagon was summoned. He
was not acquainted Of the fact that it
was his son who was killed until after
the remains had been removed to the
undertaking rooms Of O'Halloran &
Murphy. Last evening the remains
were taken to the family residence on

Listen and wait for a bird to sing
That sang in the wood before.
What though the rich air culver,
The waters sparkle along,
What though the cushat is cooling,

Waiting and listening and longing
Summer is shining in vain,
Waiting and listening and longing
For the song of that bird again.

Adown the pathway drew near
That bird on the instant were singing,
The whole of my world were there.

The following extract taken from Z
letter received by Secretary Partridge
of the Maine State board, from H. NJ
Whitney, president of the Massachu-

text of a subject which will be given
much discussion, and which is of very
great importance to the profession. 1t
says: 1T shall be my purpose te de-
clare, first, that nearly all of the ex-
aminations held by the state boards of
pharmacy are of such character that
the 'quiz-compend' student is the
most successful in passing them;
second, that the quiz-compend student
is not the competent pharmacist:
third, that, therefore, to perform the
high duty expected of them the ex-
aminations must be. changed In char
acter, until only the competent phar-
macist will be successful Concern
ing this necessary change, some sug-
gestions will be offered"
Mr.. Partridge is strong in his de-
nouncement of the quiz compend bust
ness, and says that in the examina-
tons held by the Maine State board.
whenever an applicant shows that he
has been examining from this work,
which is almost always patent, he is
followed up with such questions as
may give him away, so to speak. and
show up the things he doesn't know.
The quiz compend method is one of
simple memorizing, and generally
acknowledged to be most unreliable in
its results. The question is, conse-
quently. one of vital Importance, and
one that will be taken up at great
