NEW YORK DRUG CLERKS.
Prohibits Their Sleeping in
the store.

Gov. Roosevelt has signed the Hill
bill providing for shorter hours for
drug clerks in the city of New York
and for the inspection of drug stores
by the local board of health. By the
provision of this bill drug clerks are
prohibited from sleeping in the stores
or in any apartments directly connect
ed with the stores. Also clerks are re-
qnired to work no more than IL hours
a day.
This law is direct blow at the low
er East side cheap drug store. 1t will
not make any change in the arrange
ments that prevail in the other stores
Of the city. The proprietors of the
East side stores were in the habit of
going down to Ellis island as soon as
any emigrant steamer arrived and hir-
ing low-grade foreigners, who had
swept out drug stores in the old coun-
try and considered themselves first
class pharmacists.
These men were hired for the small
est possible wages, and were allowed
to sleep in the rear of the cheap drug
stores. The labor element found out
that this was going on, and persuaded
Assemblyman Hill to introduce bill
at Albany to stop it. This is the bill
that Gov. Roosevelt has just signed.

TOO SMALL FOR POLICE.
Shooting of American by Cuban
Officer Brings Up a Pc
culiar Problem.

Considerable discussion has grown
out of the recent killing of an American
by a'Cuban policeman. The American,
it appears, was intoxicated and at
tackled the policeman, taking away his
club. Thereupon the policeman shot
him dead. The policeman, youth of
10, was promptly discharged from the
force by Chief Cardenas on the ground
that he was not fit for such service,
hut the question still remains as to
whether such young and inexperienced
persons should carry revolvers.
Under the Spanish regime the po-
lice worked in pairs, thus rendering
less likely recourse to firearms. Many
of the members of the present force
are of slight physique, and would prob
ably be unable TO control an arrested
person without the moral support of
firearms. Chief Cardenas says:
IF the physical requirements of the
police force are made more stringent
1t may prove very difficult and per-
haps impossible to get men who are
up to the standard. There would also
be great cutlery, owing to the fact
that only Spaniards and Americans. as
a rule, would be able to fulfill the CON
ditions. In most eases the Cubans.
being smaller and of less robust~phy-
sique, would fall short of the requisi-
tons"

1t appears that a considerable num-
Der of domestic servants in London are
members of the Salvation Army and
several of them have recently been
much troubled in their minds respect
ing their obligations to polite society
in the matter of white lies" The
army has apparently considered the
subject and in the official War Cry the
following reassuring counsel is given
The expression Not at home is not
understood to mean not in the house.

ciety. To the caller it only means not
receiving visitors to-day, and no doubt
your mistress would think il dis
courteous to speak more plainly. To
say she is engaged when she is only
unwilling or unequal to see visitors
would not be more true than to say
Not at home OF course it would be
an untruth to say the latter if those
who called on your mistress under

tAink they quite understand how much
or how little it means. A lie is any

MAY CHOOSE STUDIES.
High schools Committee at Chicago
Decides on Optional Courses
for Studc nts.

Favorable action on a proposition
to permit high school pupils to select
such studies as they might see fit was
taken the other day by the high schools
committee of the board of education
of Chicago. The action was the result
of a campaign against the compulsory
course of study which DR.. A. F. Night
ingale, superintendent of high schools,
has been conducting for several
months.
Pupils are to have nearly 40 studies
to select from, the advice of parents
and the principal always to be taken
into account. The study of English
language and literature is the only one
made compulsory. All pupils must
prosecute this study for two years or
for four years, unless the study of a
foreign language is begun after the
second year.
Pupils are to progress according to
energy and ability, those displaying
more of these qualities than their fell
lows to be given proper credit. The
daily markingpSystem is to be aban-
doned by the Teachers if they see fit
No class of less than Is members is to
be organized.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Playing OF the star Spangled Banner
by Band Composed OF
Natives.

Dean Worcester, one of the best au-
thorities on the Philippine islands, told
a story recently at a dinner party in
Washington to show the feeling which
the Filipinos entertained for the late
Gen. Lawton, says Youths Compan-
ion.
A town had been taken, and as usual
in Lawton's command, there was 10
burning or looting, and the head man
of the town was greatly affected by
the difference between the American
occupation and a Spanish occupation
some years before, when everything
had been destroyed and the iubab.
itants massacred.
81 was sitting one evening with Gen.
Lawton in his little house." said Mr.
Worcester, when native band came
to serenade the officer. ] called the
leader in. and said that he ought to
know the Star Spangled Banner and
whistled it over for him few times.
Inside of an hour the band was
back again, and playing the American
air in good form. A native priest asked
Gen. Lawton and myself to attend
mass at the church on the following
day. We were surprised to hear dur
ing the solemn music the strains OF
Americas native air. We were after
ward told by the priest that he should
always. in memory OF Gen. Lawton,
include the patriotic air in his sacred
music at the church"

MELTs IRON LIKE WAX.
The Remarkable and Saccessful Elk
pertinent In Edi.on's Lab
0ratory.


remarkable experiment was made
at the laboratory of Thomas A. Edi-
son, at Orange, N. j., where a piece
of iron was melted in exactly Ave Sec
onds.
Louis Dreyfus, Of Frankfort-on-the-
Main, showed Mr.. Edison this new
process for attaining an enormous de-
gree OF heat in an almost incredibly
short space of time by the combus-
ton of certain chemical compound
which the inventor keeps secret.
The chemical compound is used in con-
nection with powdered aluminium.
Mr.. Dreyfus placed half-cupful of
his chemical in small crucible and
covered it with a small quantity of the
powdered aluminium. Then he placed
an iron wrench about half an inch
thick and six inches long in the cruel
BILE. Touching match to the COM
pound, Mr.. Dreyfus stepped back and
the mixture blazed up furiously. In
five seconds the iron wrench was
melted.
1t is estimated that the heat evolved
in the process was 5000 degrees cen
tigrade, hitherto considered impossi-
bic to reach. The value of the process
is in welding together steel rails and
tubing.

GET LAFAYETTE CARRIAGE.
Paris Commissioners Finally Obtain
the Relic for United States
Exhibit.

The old Lafayette carriage was con-
signed to the care of the Paris com
mission the other day for Transports
ton to Paris. where it will be given a
place by Commissioner General Peck
in the United States building. The
carriage is the property of the Stude
baker Brothers, of Chicago. The car
riage was built under the orders Of
the United States government in 1924,
when Lafayette announced his inten-
ton of visiting this country. 1t was
placed at his service upon his arrival
and served as his conveyance during
his tour of the country. In it he re-
ceived the homage of the people whom
he had assisted in freeing
After his departure the vehicle
passed through the hands of several
persons until it reached it's present
owners, who have preserved it care
fully. 1t is in good condition and will
prove of considerable interest to
Frenchmen. The carriage will be used
at the unwilling of the Lafayette
statue in July, after which it will be
returned to the transportation depart
ment of the United States exhibit
where it will remain until the exposi-
ton closes.

TO BE STORED AT MANILA.
Surplus Ammunition in Possession of
Various Commands to BE Re-
turned to City Arsenal.

Ordinance officers in the Philippines
have discovered that too much ammu
milton of all kinds is retained in the
possession of the various commands,
and orders have been issued that the
surplus be turned into the arsenal at
Manila for storage and safekeeping.
1t is deemed that these commands in
the islands do not require for the re-
serve stock Of ammunition more than
goo rounds per man for target prac-
tice, guard duty, and such service as
may be foreseen. Instructions along
this line have been given the com
handing officers. The recall of this
surplus stock of ammunition may lead
to great deal of criticism among the
troops which are at distance from
the arsenal and who are so situated
as to be somewhat removed from the
direct lines of communication. One
reason for recalling the surplus am
munition and storing it at Manila is
to prevent its possible seizure. Any
large quantity of powder kept in the
field would be, If captured by the in
surgent forces, of great value to
them. The considerations of personal
safety also play some part in the or
ders which have been issued bringing
the ammunition back to Manila.

America, and is well attended, while
associated with it are 20 primary
schools in different parts of the repub-
lie, with an aggregate attendance OF
nearly 1000 pupils.

FOR "woMAN WITH THE HOE. "
Mrs. o. A. Mead Urges Promotion of

In O paper read before the Promo

Mead urged women to take = hoe and
cultivate flowers or vege tables in their
gardens.
THE man with the hoe" was de-
throned by Mrs. Mead and glowing
illusions and prospects for the "wom-

plauded by the hundred women
present. The labor Of the garden

The softening of sour feminine dis

health were promised to follow the ad-
vent of all women into the garden
No coarsening of the feminine nature
was to be feared from work in the
garden patch. For women whose es-

BUSINESS WOMEN IN GERMANY
In Spite of Many DiscOuragements
They Are Patient and

In spite of many discouragements,
the women of Vienna continue their
slow but persevering efforts to fit them
selves for posts hitherto filed only by
men, says the London Telegraph. The
first woman doctor allowed to practice

there as an oculist and enjoys the con-
fidence of large clientele among the

music. A society for the advancement
OF female culture recently arranged "A

SCHEME TO BUILD ISLAND.
e. Il. CraEln Plans Elevators in New
York Day to Attract Grain
Business.

Applications for a lease Of about A.
acres of riparian land, lying between
Bedloe and Ellis islands, made to the
riparian board of New Jersey by Ed
ward f. Cragin, formerly of Chicago,
was granted the other day. 1t is said
to be the purpose of Mr.. Cragin and
others to construct an island in the
bay and on it to erect grain elevators
in number and capacity to attract to
this port the grain trade of the west.
Mr.. Cragin said the railroads could
reach the elevators by trestes from
the New Jersey shore and canal
boats and ocean vessels could find
them easy of access. He is convinced
that within two years elevators can
be built that will reduce the handling
of grain in New York from ~ to 2
cents bushel, and will overcome the
differential in favor of other cities.
The lease is to run for 900 years at a
rental of $1,000 year for the first
fire years, $500 a year for the next
five years, and $4,000 annually for the
remainder of the term. Approval Of
the lease by the United States author
tiles is necessary before the improve
ments, estimated to cost S3 100000, can
be begun.

OVER A MILLION WORDS.
A Chicago Actress Who Has Memoir
iAed That Many In Studying
Her Parts.

Many women of the stage have had
their health permanently ruined by
overstudy. In the past year half
dozen Of well-known women have
been sent to sanitariums because of
overstudy.
Miss May Hosmer, leading woman OF
the Hopkins Chicago stock company,
who has played more parts than any
woman of her age in America, has
never lost week during the past five
theatrical seasons, and has played over
200 different parts.
Many of these parts, closely type
written, formed manuscript of from
so to 200 pages, and in theatrical manu-
script there are AN average of 80 words
to the page.
In memorizing "Fanchon," Miss Hos
mer learned $4,000 words. In memoir
ling Camille she learned 1000
words, and in the course of her five
years connection with Hopkins stock
company in Chicago she has memorized
more than 100000 words. In all this
time Miss Hosmer has never been out
of the cast from any cause except the
ordinary ills such rs fall to actors and
actresses in the course of their season.
She has felt no evil results from this
enormous tax on her mental powers.
and is to-day brighter and more Wig
orous woman than she was ten years
ago,

HAT TRIMMED WITH FIRE.
ABaItimOre WOman's Bonnet Catches
Fire and Is Consumed Up
on Her Head.

A curious accident, which attracted
a number of people, occurred shortly
before midnight in front of the jewel
ry store at the southwest corner of
Baltimore and Charles streets, says the
Baltimore Herald.
A handsomely dressed woman and
her escort were looking at some jewel
ry which was displayed in the window
when the man struck a match and lit
cigarette. In some way the match
ignited the feathers of his companion's
hat, and in a moment the top of her
head was abaze. But even this did
not divert the attention of the couple
they continued to gaze raptly at the
treasures behind the plate-glass win
dow.
Sergt. Thomas Kirby was standing
in front of the other window, and.
happening to look inside, saw mass
of glowing flames, which he thought
was in the interior of the store. But,
looking toward the other window, he
saw the cause. He FASTENED to the
lady, touched her on the shoulder, and
informed her that her hat was on ire
AT the same instant he gathered the
quickly disappearing remains of the
hat between his hands and snuffed out
the flames.
In the meantime the man stood
mutcly by. lie did not seem to realize
the peril of his companion. The crowd
which had gathered were making
things embarrassing for the couple.
They moved away.

A FRONTAL ATTACK.
One Kind That Has often Been Made
with success by Eng
Iish Forces.

There is one class of frontal attack
which history tells us has often been
made and made with success, but which
nowadays is thoroughly indefensible.
says the Saturday Review. We mean
where a commander, after superficial
reconnaissance of an enemy in posi-
ton, bewildered by the difficulties
which apparently crop up TO hinder
any scheme he can evolve for outman-
euvering him, reverts to the good old
English custom of just "going for him"
Doubtless such elementary tactics have
before now won us brilliant victories
or saved us from almost inevitable de-
feat and disaster.
Unfortunately the time for such
crude ideas of handling troops is past
and gone. To simply launch men in
an attack across the open under the
storm of magazine rifle and Maxim
| fire. not to speak of machine shell
guns which the Beers so much affect,
is to be guilty of a wicked waste of
life and, further, is only counting dis
aster. True it is that the eXtraordi-
nary pluck and determination of our
officers and men may and have rem
dered such desperate tactics" Gf such
an operation is worthy of the name)
success, but at what cost?
We can recall to our mind n certain
low kopje which suddenly doomed uI
before company of our infantry-the
summit swarming with the epemy's
marksmen-but up it our men went
| and onward and with a loss of over one
third of their numbers. All honor tt
the men who thus nobly did their duty
But general action carried out OF
such lines would render a victory only
one degree removed from defeat.
