To Enforce the Law.

The New England Druggist in its
Maine department Of the May number
has the following interview with Com
missioner of Pharmacy Joseph F.
Young of this city, regarding the phar-
'macy laws passed at the last session
of the Legislature:
We shall enforce the law to the let
ter just as well as We know how. In
all those matters in which it is incum-
bent for the commissioners to move,
the public Will find US without fear or
favor. AS to the fake drug stores that
have been so long a disgrace to the
reputable drug trade of the State. we
shall go for them wherever they may
be. | learn that Lewiston contains
more than any other city in the State.
But there are a lot in Biddeford and
Saco. and we learn that they are
pretty well scattered through the
State A careful list will be made and
the enforcement of the law will COM
mence.
Il think that when the new law is
generally understood it will be liked by
the druggists. 1t is certainly designed
for their protection and no reputable
druggist VIII, or course, object to nav
ing the business regulated.
ITO my mind one-of the best features
of the new law is the clause relating
to poisons. All Glasses of poisons are
placed under greater restriction as to
their evil in this State than people re-
alize. Under the law in force drug
gists could sell to almost any one.
Under the new law the drug can only
be sold on a druggists prescription or
to a dentist. | say again that the new
will be enforced by us just as we'll and
as vigorously as we know how. We
shall have no friends and no discrimin-
alton. We believe that it is a good
law and that if fairly and impartally'
enforced will work for the common
benefit of the druggist and the public.
Therefore it ought to be pretty plain
sailing for us

JESSE JAMES SPARED HIM,
The Desperado Might Have Killed Traitor stapp, But Only
 Warned Him to Move.

EX-State Auditor an B. Prather of GaIena was in Topeka the other day, and while in conversation with some old friends the suicide of Tobe Stapp, of Webb City, Mo-, several years ago was mentioned. This recalled to Prather recollection of the suicides brother, R. B. Stapp, notorious 20 years ago as Dick Stapp.
 For a number of years Dick Stapp lived in the Short creek lead-mining regions near GaleBa. Stapp became notorious in connection with the Jesse James gang, and lived in Granby, Mo. where he kept saloon. The James gang had designed to raid the vaults of the Granby Mining company and took stapp into the enterprise. At the same time they planned the 0tterville train robbery. StapP weakened at the last moment, and told the officers of the plot. Afterward at the trial of the only one of the OtterviIle robbers who was arrested Stapp was the principal witness for the state, and the man was sent to the penitentiary. Stapp was compelled to leave GFaHby by fear of assassination. He came to Short Creek and then opened a saloon in Galena.
 One night man wearing blue gog- gIes and a slouch hat well down over his face appeared and called for a drink. 1t was given him, and as he paid for it he said: Your name is Dick Stapp. Do you know who l amp"
 ''I believe I do, replied Stapp, at the same time reaching for pistol behind the bar.
 T am quicker than you are, as you ought to know" exclaimed the stran- ger, producing a revolver from his over coat pocket. But I have not come to shoot you. This is a mission of peace. 1 want you to be out of the way when we give ourselves up to the authorities If you are not some of us will put you out of the way"
 All right" said Stapp. With that the stranger walked out of the house. It was Jesse James.
 Soon after that Stapp went out of the saloon business and engaged in mining, but he was consumptiye, and short time befoEe Frank James surrendered he went to California, where he died, thus depriving the state of the only witness who could connect Frank James with the Otteryille affair.-Chi- cago Inter Ocean.

velvet ribbon. The tunic overskirt is of the black mohair swiss long in back, and in q short scallop in front. This is edged with the black velvet ribbon. The oddity of this gown is in the way the white applique insertion is put on around the upper part of the skirt with Q row of black velvet run in and out through the black swiss, two rows of each. The same idea is carried out on the bodice that was made with q blouse effect, having a full front of the white mousseline de soie, with a knot of the same at the back. Large turn-back revers of white silk embroidered in black chenille, and a stock collar of black velvet with a roll of the black velvet at the waist line with ros- cite.
 A gown that is very noticeable is of a canary eolored crepe de chine, and trimmed with narrow black velvet It has three tunic founces on the skirt, each edged with black velvet ribbon. The upper part of the bodice is made of silk dotted liberty gauge in a canary shade, and is opened at the neck to disclose a tucked chemisette of cream white chiffon. The lower part of the bodice is decorated with lat dice work of black velvet ribbon, and the sleeves are also made with the black velvet ribbon in lattice work Wide black tulle forms a sash, with long floating loops and ends reaching to the bottom of the skirt.
 With white or black gown one sees white shoes made either of linen or of white chamois leather. And then one sees the bright colored shoes in green, violet, red or blue with colored gowns.

Bright CoIors at Newport

very stylish costume for summer even ings.
 For trimming on this class of gowns faces of all kinds are being used. Some of the more popular are the oriental laces, the open work guipure effects that are so neatly designed, those hav- ing the fine net tops being mostly used; point d'esprit and cotton Brussels net are all among those often seen, and tbe exquisitely wrought range in renais- sanee faces, and the very broad use of aPpiques in different forms. An other is the choice Battenberg varieties in aIloger edgings and bands, and the great craze for muslins and malines which are always stylish.
 One of these black swiss gowns is a jet black of rather a heavy weave, and dotted closely with white dots. The foundation skirt is very long, and of bright green silk. While it is very close fitting around the top it seems to have several yards of sweep at the bot tom. This sweep has 12 rows of mar row black satin ribbon rufIled on ii, while down each side of the front the narrow satin ribbon is brought in q small and large scallop effect, and eX- tending ali the way around the skirt, at the top of the trimming. It has a tucked yoke and high collar of the bright green silk, also a small vest of the silk, with the black swiss for a turn-baek collar around the yoke, and fitting the figure for the rest of the bodice. Also outlined around the yoke and on the sleeves, and down the front on each side of the vest with the black satin ribbon.

Heat Radiation of the Stars.

Dr. Nichols, professor of physics in Dartmouth college, has recently per fected the radiometer and adapted it for the measurment of heat radiation, 50 that astrophysicists are now in the possession of an instrument superior for that purpose to any hitherto con structed. On account of this remark able sensitiyeness and adaptability to stellar work the Dartmouth professor was lately invited to try if he could de teet stellar heat radiation at the Yerkes observatory. Details of his expert ments are published by Prof Hale in Bulletin No. II, from which it appears that we do not receive from Areturus (the star eXperimented on) any more heat than would reach us from a candle at distance of five or six miles, no ac- count being taken in the latter case of atmospheric absorption" In Bulletin No. s Prof. Hale calls attention of ad- ganced students to the fact that oppor- tunity for work at the Yerkes obser- vatory is offered to all who can be ac- commodated. As soon as they have had sufficient preliminary training they are encouraged to undertake original investigation of their own as volunteer research assistants' = Chicago Trib- une.

NICELY TAKEN IN.
He Knew the Why's of the World But Got Caught
 Mapping.

The man in question used to say he knew the way of the world as a eat knows it's own kittens, and laugh at the Wies of those who live on their wits.
 He had been economizing at every turn for a long time, saving all that he could, for the holidays were near at hand. He lett his station the other night h the teeth of a blizzard. The buses had stopped run ming, and he buttoned his coat collar about his neck with a determination to walk home rather than squander the price of a cab.
 "Beastly night" said a tall imposing man, as he tapped our friend on the shoul- der; Get into my carriage there; I'll be with you in minute, and he dashed into the station after his bag. It was too good an offer to be retused and the travelling man put in most of his time in thanking his benefactor, who politely Insisted that the pleasure was all his.
 Just tell him where to drive to, " he said later; q get out here. No, don't mention it. Glad of the opportunity i Now, it was a horrible night, and he was using another mans s carriage, so he could mot do less than te treat the driver and ! give him cigar to keep his nose warm. At last the economical traveller was at home and he shouted a cheery good night as he slammed the door of the vehicle and started for the house.
 "Here, " cried the driver, you've forgot. ten something.
 Thanks. What is it?1 as he hurried brck.
 "Nine shillings."
 "What?" as the narrowing conviction seized him. Why, the other man"

A Curious Crusade.

Bournemouth, England, has become the cradle of curious crusade, direct ed against the comfortable practice of sleeping in church. The clerical gen. tlemen who have started it apparent ly object to the habit on two grounds imPrimis, that from an aesthetic point of view even sleeping beauties, with an inclination to snore, are not at tractiye articles when viewed from the pulpit; and, secondly, that somnolence in the congregation is discourteous to the preacher. In a discussion which took place among the local pastors on the subject, Rev. T. Evans remarked that a good many people thought it a sin to laugh in church. but deemed it no harm to sleep there Ministers ought to have hand cameras, with which to take snapshots of dormant members of their congregation, and then pre- sent copies to them. If people could see themselves asleep in the pew as viewed from the pulpit, it would give them many sleepless nights in thinking of the spectacle Troy Times.
