ARRESTED FOR COUSTERFEITING.
Peculiar Crimes Which Attack the Public
Health and POcketboOk.

Isaac Platt aud Otto Doerlam are at present
held to bail at Chicago. Ill.,. in the unusually
high sum of $4,000, after staying for some in
Jail in default of sureties, on a charge of
counterfeiting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. The sum in which the District
Attorney demanded bail shows the Importance
which the tribunals attach to the offence of
counterfeting the medicine of the people.
Tho condemnation at Syracuse. n. y, re-
Gently, of the counterfeiter DR.. Marquisee to
a term in States Prison, is another instance of
the same view
The conrts in these cases held that q medi-
cine having the confidence of the people to an
extent which can tempt to dishonest imitation
has attained an Importance which renders the
substitution for ID of unreliable and unauthor-
lied compounds an offence of very serious
nature, against which the people have a right
to be protected. The proceedings in court sug-
gested that the people would not have gotten
into the way of relying upon q definite medi-
cine for the cure of their ailments without
good cause. Therefore, counterfeitng such 4
remedy is not an offence against the manu-
facturers of the genuine goods alone. but
against the public. 1t is an offence against the
manufacturers because it robs them of the
fruit of their enterprise in making known the
merit of their product and their expenditures
in advertising them, for which large sums are
paid to the newspapers daily. But it is an
offence also against the people, public offence
for unless the confidence of the public in
genuine product has been justly earned, it
would be folly advertising it. Hence the sub
stitution of counterfeits is an offence against
the Common wealth, and (as the courts have
Led) righteously punishable by imprisonment
and heavy fine.
1t was shown that il is tie importance of
med that creates temptation to this crime
no one counterfeits a poor medicine. It is
gratifying fact that fraud. to the extent of
straight coun terfeiting, is very rare; the drug
gists of the country are too honorable a class of
men to involve themselves in such dubious
methods, and the people right in protecting
themselves by obtaining their medicines from
trustworthy dealers. and by taking pains TO
have the gennineness of their purchase placed
beyont doubt by seeing the correct advertised
name (as, for instance, the full, unabbreyiated
title, like DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People) engraved the package they buy
The public nowadays refuses to listen to the
sort OF talk occasionally offered to the unwary
about something else just good. which
aIacagS means = fake gotten up to deceive
people whom an INSCRIPTIONS deaier thinks
foolish enough to believe such pretense. For
tunately, DR.. Marguisee WAS arrested lefore he

had been at work for four days, aud all the

Harper's Weekly says: A symptom
of the modern tendency in rural life
to approach urban compactness, which
the trolley car has been one of the
potent Influences to help along, has
taken on recently new form in the
attempt made to revise the old.ti
district school. In most country
towns of New England, and in the
Middle and Western States, the sys.
tenn dividing a township into from
five to twenty school districts still
prevails. A generation ago no one
could have conceived of the practica-
bility of any change in this plan.
From the very beginning of our ma
tion's history it has been the district
school that has furnished the loftiest
and most inspiring theme for the ora
tor and the poet. In Whittiers poem
of "The Little Red School House" all
of us who have grown up from coun-
try bred childhood find our earliest
and most tender memories refreshed.
1t certainly was boon in its day but
it would seem there are reasons now
for replacing it by better species
In some of the Western Reserve Ohio
towns schools Of this sort have already
been abolished, and In their stead
may be found in q central part of the
township large two-storied structure,
usually made of brick. The school
having this liberal space can, from
its systematized and various grades,
make education more complete and
carry it further than the best district
school has ever been able to do. TO
this central point all the school chill
dren are brought in stages furnished
for free transportation by the town.
The vehicles hold about twenty-five
pupils, are comfortably fitted up, and
are arranged so as 10 be either open
or covered. The routes, which are
made to pass every house, are open to
competitive bidders. The drivers of
the stages go in the morning to the
EXTREMIST limits of the township, and
blow horn when within ear-shot of n
house to notify the children who are
to take passage. When the school
hours are over, the stage reappears,
and the scholars are taken home. The
system has been going about two
years, but it is said to work perfectly.
1t needs no argument to show that
this massing of scattered forces brings
many advantages,

His Majesty the King of Siam, who
will return to his country by way of
the United States after a visit to Eu-
rope this summer, is expected to reach
New York in the early part of Sep
tember, and will remain in America
about month. The Bangkok news
papers say this about the trip: "The
European tour is expected to occupy
about eight months, and, according to
present arrangements, his Majesty s
suit will consist Of T. r. H. Princes
Sommot, Mabit, and Sanphasat, Phya
Srisdi, Mai Rajanat, Nom Anuyat, and
two royal pages. During the voyage
to Europe H. r. H. Prince Sanphasat
will act as alde-de.camp to his Majesty,
but on arrival those duties will be un.
dertaken by Fl. R. Fl. Prince Chirax.
Fl. r. H. Prince Swasti Sobhon will
also meet the King in Europe" On
his visit here the King will visit Wash.
ington, Chicago, st. Louis, Denver,
Salt Lake City and San Francisco. He
will take passage at San Francisco on
one of the Occidental and Orlenta
line steamships to Yokohama, where
the royal yacht will meet him and
convey him back to Bangkok.

before it was identified.
Mr.. Storrows health had not been OF the
best during the past six years. In 1891 he
took n trip to Europe, to recruit his energies
after an unremitting devotion during many
wears to his profession. He travelled all over
Europe during nearly two years, returning
in much improved health. but again, few
years labor at his profession obliged
him to pay attention to his physi-
cal condition, and little more than
year ago his connection with the
Venezuelan arbitration case offered him an
opportunity for an extended outing in the
