officers Elected at Yesterdays Meeting
An Enjoyable Clambake.
The State Pharmaceutical associa-
TONS annual meeting, which was held
in this city on Tuesday and yesterday,
was by far the most successful yet held.
The social features were especially
prominent and added much to the en-
joyment and success of the gathering.
The newly elected president, John W..
Lowe of this city, has always been de-
sirous of having the women participate
in the festivities, and the entertainment
committee, composed of Willis L. Mix,
chairman; G. F. Messenger and Charles
Fleischner, with Mr.. Lowe eX-officio,
spared no pains or expense in their
preparations for this years meeting.
They arranged several pleasure trips
especially for the women and others IN
which all participated.
Yesterday mornings business meet
ing was for the most part consumed IN
the election and installation of officers
and nomination of candidates for the
state pharmacy commission. The otf1-
GERS elected are:
President, John w. Lowe: vice pres
idents George j. Loeffler of Hartford,
Austin D. Pierce of Hartford; secre-
tary, Arthur S. Clark of Waterbury;
treasurer, John B. Ebbs of Waterbury;
candidates for state pharmacy commits
sion, Willis l.. Mix, J. K. Williams OF
Hartford, Henry NJ. Bishop of New Ha-
ven, F. M. Wilson of Willimantic, ii.
W. Smith of Ansonia, H. H. Daboll OF
New London.
1t was also decided to instruct the
to go about the state and report any
one he may find conducting pharmacy
without a pharmacists license.
President Lowe appointed his execu-
tive committee for this year, of which
Charles Fleischner of this city is chair
man. ]. K. Wellman of Hartford was
appointed chairman Of the legislative
committee.
At II o'clock adjournment was taken
and the matter Of selecting the place
for next years convention was left te
the executive committee. 1t will in all
probability be held in Hartford.
After adjournment a party of 1OS took
special cars for Woodmont for clam
progressing nicely and preparations
were being made for the speaking when
the storm arose and drove every one
into the Hotel Pembroke The party
took possession of the dining room
where the speaking was held and much
enjoyed. The speakers were Mayor
Farnsworth, Herbert e. Benton, Rev
B. M. Triple, Colonel C. w. Pickett
Harry Porter of Roseville and DR.. 10
seph H Townsend. The occasion was
very much enlivened by several songs
by william T. Sanford and recitations
by Parson Isbell. The sail on the souno
was precluded by the storm. The meet
ing broke up at o'clock.
Before final adjournment the outgo-
ing president, Mr.. Savin of Norwich
was presented by the society with ar
elegant gold badge nicely engraved and
bearing his name and the name of the
association.

"WYCH" HAZEI-NOT WITCH
HAZEL

The correct name for Hamamelis Vir-
ginica is not witch hazel, but wych ha-
eel. Our plant has no connection with
the magic of the water hunter. The
blackthorn of England, Prunus Spino-
sa, was the wood used in these divina-
lions, or whatever these superstitious
practices may be termed. Hazel had q
very wide meaning in the olden times
and the elm, as well as the nut nov
known as such, was hazel. One o
these elms, now known as Ulmus Mon
tana, was the favorite wood for ma,
ing wyches, or provision chests, ant
was therefore known as the wvcl y"
eel. In the present day 1t Is the wych
elm. Our hamamelis received from the
early settlers the name of wych hazel
from the resemblance of the leaves to
those of the wych hazel Or elm of the
old world. Language reformers mag
lining that wych should be spelled witch
are responsible for the confusion.
Wych hazel is the correct term for OIL
plant.-Meehan's Monthly.

FREAKS OF THE RIO GRANDE.
Two Illustrations in One Day of the
Queer Things 1t Can Do.

Two Illustrations in One Day of the
Queer Things 1t Can Do.
To give you some idea of what sort
of river the Rio Grande Is I'll tell an
experience / had in getting across it
with a derrick" said mining man
from New Mexico. IF after that you
don't agree with me that it is a freak
ish river you're easy to suit I was a
contractor in rock work in those days.
and was taking my derrick from the
east side of the river to the Magda-
1enas, where I had a contract to sink
a mine shaft The derrick was on four
wagon wheels, and four mules were
hauling it. I had my two helpers
along, and one of them, man named
Mccartney, drove the mules. He was
an old-timer, which was lucky, for I
was new to the country and If I had
trusted to my own judgment / might
have made mistake that would have
cost me my mules and derrick, IL not
my life.
1--WE came to the Rio Grande an hour
ebfore shutdown, and I saw a wide
river bed, but no water, only dry sand,
from one bank to the other. That was
a new kind of river to me, but Nc
Cartney said it was all right; that it
was a way the Rio Grande had Of do
ing in places for five or six months
in the year. The water was there, only
it was flowing through the sands I'M
der the channel instead of in it. I, be-
ing tenderfoot, was for camping on
the nearer bank where the grass was
good, but Mccartney said that would
never do unless was willing to take
my chances Of staying there week or
two; thatwater sometimes came down
the channel, a good deal of it, and it
would be well to get across while we
were sure we could.
1--WE started across the dry sands
and / was thinking what an easy way
it was of fording a river when of a
sudden the two lead mules were foun-
dering in a quicksand and the whole
outfit came near being drawn in. We
got the two leaders clear of the har-
ness and then the other tow mules drew
them out, one at time. We hitched
them UP again, and by making long
circuit got past the quicksand and to
the other bank. BY that time it was
10 o'clock and the moon had just risen.
The mules had just begun to climb the
bank, when we heard a roaring noise
up the channel. 1t came from wall
of water that stretched from bank to
bank, and was travelling toward us
fast. tt looked in the moonlight to be
four feet high, and there was higher
water behind sending it on. We didn't
need to boiler to the mules. They
heard what was coming and clawed up
the bank like cats. We got out all
right, derrick and all-and there were
not three minutes to spare. Before We
had finished our supper the river bed
was full, bank high with current
taht edided and roared as it rushed
past our camping place as if it had
been sorry to miss us and would like
to get up where we We're. There
wasn't cloud in the sky, or sign of
rain anywhere, and the flood may have
come from cloudburst in Colorado
two hundred miles away."-The Chi
cago Inter-Ocean.

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Young Women in the Gradu-
atanu Class,

The summer term of the State Nor
NAL school closed yesterday. Fifty-five
students graduated and received diplo-
mas According to the regulations gov
erning the school no formal commence
ment exercises are held. The only GER
emony was the presentation of diplo
mas by the secretary of the state
board Of education, Charles D. Hine.
Secretary Hine made an appropriate
speech, stating clearly the duties and
opportunities of the teacher and the
needs of the schools In Connecticut.
The school in New Haven is the
youngest in the state, having been es-
tablished only five years, but 1t has
turned out a larger class this year than
either of the other schools. Half of
those who graduated yesterday have
already secured positions throughout
the state and the remainder will be en-
gagged before school opens next fall.
The number of new teachers engaged
in the Connecticut schools last year
was 464. Since the normal schools of
the state only turn out about $50 each
year it can be readily seen that the
normal schools are not supplying a
fancied need. The state board of edu-
cation places all the graduates in the
positions for which they are most fit
ted. The following are the names Of

The report, however, was without foun-

WE'LL REPRESENTED.

Several Thousand New Haveners at
New London Yesterday.
New Haveners certainly took an old
time interest in the great triangular
boat race which was to have been row.
ed at New London yesterday, for there
was a very generous outpouring Of the
townspeople to witness the great strug-
gle for supremacy.
The regular trains were not sufficient
to carry all the people, and several spe-
cial trains were necessary. Doubtless
several thousand people went by rail,
while on the Richard Peck were 900
New Haveners and 800 New Workers.
Besides these, there were many small
boatloads OF local people.
They were all of course disappointed
when the rain began, but did not be-
come impatient because of the unfa-
vorableness of the elements and braved
them with very little grumbling. When
it was announced that the race would
be rowed at 7 o'clock every one, despite
the fact that they were thoroughly
drenched, assumed a cheerful aspect
and hoped for a few moments of pleas
ant weather at the time appointed.
The observation trains and numerous
boats were loaded down a second time
and all waited in anxious silence for
the appearance of the Fights, but they
didn't come. Instead came the an
nouncement that the race was postpon-
ed until 10 o'clock this morning. There
was then general hustle for trains
and lodging places. A large number
remained over night determined to see
the race, while many others decided it
was cheaper to pay car fare than hotel
bills and returned home on the first
train.
When the wind began to blow per-
feet gale and the rain fall in sheets it
was plain to be seen that If the race
was rowed it would necessarily be over
a very choppy course. This changed
the betting from Cornell to Yale, as it
was argued that the long Cook stroke
would be of more avail than the short,
quick stroke used by the other crews.
Many bets were posted by Yale men at
to and they found no takers.

Dr.. Gray Triumphant.
Another Cripple Made to Walk-Big
Open Air Demonstration 90 Watch
for Date of Free Clinic In Opera
House.

DR.. Howard, demonstration for the
DIR. Gray Medical Institute, gave most
concise description of the wonderful
work done by Dr. Gray last evening.
Mr.. l.. Maxwell of Orange, a rheumatic
cripple of five years standing, who
was unable to walk, was given treat
ment and inside of fifteen minutes
could stamp his feet upon the floor
and said all pain had disappeared.
Among those who were treated at the
institute were Frederick K. Lawrence,
a rheumatic cripple of fifteen years
standing. He came into the institute
upon clutches, but after one treatment
walked home without them.
Mrs. Francis Combes, lady forty
years of age, was made to hear any
ordinary sound after first treatment.
Charles Van Wyck, another rheu-
matte cripple, was made happy by CIV
ing him the use Of both feet after walk
ing with a cane and crutch for ten
years. On occount of the immense
crowds which congregated last night
the streets were made impossible and
in accordance with the law the demon
stration had to be discontinued. AS
soon as arrangements can be made a
big free clinic will be given in one of
the prominent halls or opera houses,
fully illustrated by Edison's latest in
vention, the stereoscope, with calcium
light effects, also superb dissolving
views, X-ray exhibitions, ETC., the date
Of which will be announced in all the
daily papers.
If you are suffering do not fail to
call at the institute and consult the
doctor.

MAJOR GENERAL LEE.

Tho administration has decided to
thank General Fitzhugh Leo for his
arduous, distinguished, and faithful
services in Cuba by giving him n
commission Il, Ma jor General Of vol
untpcrs and pntting him in command
Of division Of tho arIuy for tho in
vaslon of Cuba. Ihn American peo
pie, without dissenting voice. will
approve this act Of tho aministra-
ton.
General Lee, in ais modesty, has
dlSclaimcd any special valuo and re-
fused any special thanks for his ser
vices. Yet thcro is a general feeling
that somo mark Of appreciation aud
gratitu,lo should br given to him.
llc has taken tho only ono that he
would not have refused, aud it is tho
ono dearest to bis heart. He will 90
back as soldier to help win CuDa
from tho Spaniards, whose cruclties
hn has exposed and whose insults arc
still ringing in his ears.
Tho Spanish editors in Havana
pretended to think that General Lee
wcnt.away from there too soon. He
will come back a good deal sooner
than will be convenient for them;
and when ho comes, and wherever he
goas, at tho head Of the division,
thcro will bo warm work.
