EFFECT OF DRUG CLERKS BILL.
YOUNG APOTHECARIEs SAY THE HOURS OF
LABOR MEASURE WILL NOT HELP THEM.

YOUNG APOTHECARIEs SAY THE HOURS OF
LABOR MEASURE WILL NOT HELP THEM.
The bill signed by Governor Roosevelt few days
ago which makes twelve hours legal days work
for drug clerks is not going make any appre-
ciable difference with the hours Of labor Of the
young apothecaries. according to several of them
who talked with Tribune reporter yesterday. The
bill advocated by Edward Thimme in behalf of the
clerks aimed at making a days work ten hours
long, but before the measure got through the Leg
islature it amended. At Atwoods Pharmacy,
Broadway and Thirteenth-st., of the clerks
said
The drug clerks of New-York a rule, do not
work more than twelve hours in day now, and
therefore the law viii make little difference
/ go Z in the morning and quit 10
at night with three hours c in the middle of
the day. Another clerk goes TO work at and quits
10. with hours OF. m other stores all over
the city il is about the same way. We accommo-
date ourselves TO the needs Of the business. Com
petition is brisk that the proprietor can hardly
afford to hire extra clerks without reducing the
pay of those already in his employ. Most pre-
Ter long hours to cut in wages. The drug clerks
OF this city have no regular organization, and
therefore cannot enforce demands with ref
erence 10 shortening the hours OF labor. can see
what will happen to a clerk who now works more
than twelve hours a day and demands a reduction
in hours or more pay. The boss will put him off
for a few days while he looks around for
TO take his place. and then the kicker will be
told to get out he isn't wanted. on the East
Side in many of the German drug stores the clerks
are organized, and perhaps they Will flnd the new
law of some benefit, but as rule the clerks do
not work more than twelve Eours, and suit their
hours of labor the needs of the business, taking
time off whenever they get ii. The better
a good clerk is worth keeping, and employer
likes 70 be changing help all the time.

gerald in the Supreme Court yesterday on an ap-
plication for a writ of mandamus on the part of
John p. OBrien and William II. Ellis the receiv-
of the NewYorl- Westchester Company, to
compel the Commissioner OF Highways, James P
Heating, to issue permit allowing them open
Madison-ave, near West Farms Road for the pur-
pose of disconnectng service main supplying
Annie r. Conkn with water brought forth the
charge by the Corporation Counsel and the attor-
ney for Henry c. Henderson, the husband of Mrs
Conkn. that the water company is endeavoring
to charge its customers for water furnished by the
city of New-York, for which it does pay.
Mr.. Prince. counsel for the receivers said that
Mrs. Conklin owed bill of s1O4 for water and
would not pay 1t. AS the officials of the
pany denied admittance to her house the only
way the water supply could be off by open
ing up the street and dsconnecting the service
main. This could not be done without the
OF Commissioners Keating. and he refused give It,
There We're number of other property owners in
the locality, counsel said, who had also declined
pay for the water used by them.
Victor J. Bowling. on behalf of Henry c. Hender-
sen. the well known Republican of Westchester
County said Mr.. Henderson had married Mrs
Conkln and the owner of the premises. He
denied that he owed the S104 claimed by the re-
ceivers and also alleged that the charges made by
the company We're eXorbitant.
Mr. Dowling said that the company not able
to fulfil the agreement made by it under its fran
with water and relied the city of New-York TO
furnish the deficiency The company, however
paid the city for the supplied It by
the municipality. but wanted the consumers pay
for Wnat il did not
Assistant Corporation Counsel O'Nen opposed
the motion on behalf of Commissioner Heating, and
corroborated what Mr.. Bowling had said. Mr.
Prince Indignantly denied the right of Mr.. Bowling
appear in the all.
Mr. O'Neill said Mr.. Henderson and the property
owners had perfect right to be represented in
such If the Court held to the contrary he
would he said, take the afidavits of Mr.. Hen
derson and his wife and make them part of the
for the city.
This remark led TO a stormy alteration between
counsel which cut off by Justice Fitzgerald
who told counsel all sides to submit briefs
him and that he would render his decision when
he had fully considered the question.

j. Hampden Dougherty, receiver of D. Appleton
& Co. yesterday denied published report that
book trust forming, and that 1t already con-
trolled Appleton Co. He said further
While official report has yet been made by
me- examination seems to justify the cOnClu
sion that the assets of D. Appleton & Co exceed
its liabilities in the ratio of than two
One statement in the article under COnsidera ton
Is an utter fabrication. The article asserts that
1t reported yesterday that an offer had been
made by the receiver of d. Appleton & Co. to some
creditors of 66 25 cents the dollar of their claims
which offer had been generally refused This
serion is in every respect false Not only has there
been offer of 66 2-3 cents but offer whatso-
ever. My confident expectation is that the cred
ttors of d. Appleton &, Co will receive dollar for

for the stockholders

from attack OF nose bleed, which time
nearly fatal On Wednesday he awoke
with the blood streaming out Of his nostris. When
all that could be done at home tried TO pur-
pose. and he was fast growing weaker he was
taken at o'clock in the afternoon 10 Bellevue
Hospital. After half hour Of treatment the flow
OF blood stopped and Duffy went back home.
Still, it only a little while after he had re-
turned from the hospital that the trouble began
anew. and in even more serious form than at
first Again he treated at Bellevue. but this
time the formerly successful methods had little
effect AS soon though, the physicians packed
the posterior mares with gauze the bleeding ceased.
Although Duffy is in danger because OF the great
loss of blood. still his doctors think he will ut-
rnately recover.

Short Sketches of John G. woolley and

John G. Woolley is descended in the
direct line from Emanuel Woolley, an
English Quaker and friend of George
Fox, who came to New England in 1868
and later became large land owner in
New Jersey, which is still the family
seat. He was born at Collinsville, O.,
Feb. 10, 1850. Was graduated from the
Ohio Wesleyan university in 1871, prac-
ticed law in Paris, Ills, Minneapolis
and New York until 1888, when he be-
came a Prohibitionist and from accept
ing occasional invitations to speak upon
the subject of the liquor traffic drifted
out of the practice of his profession into
the lecture field. He has resided in
Chicago since 1892.
Henry B. Metcalf of Rhode Island, Pro.
hibition nominee for vice president, was
born II years ago. He is president of

CHICAGO, June 29.-The Prohibition
national convention adjourned sine die
after having placed in nomination for
president J. G. Woolley of Illinois, and
for vice president Henry B. Metcalf of
Rhode Island. The nominations in each
instance were made on the first ballot.
Only two candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination were balloted for, Mr..
Woolley and Rev. Silas G. Swallow OF
Pennsylvania, Hale johnson OF Illinois
withdrawing his name at the last mo-
ment and throwing his strength to Mr..
Woolley. This undoubtedly had great
effect on the result, as the convention
earlier in the day had been nearly
stampeded for Swallow by an eloquent
speech of Homer L. Castle of Pittsburg,
and had the friends of the Pennsyl-
vania clergyman forced a ballot
at that time the result might
have been different. For vice presi-
dent three candidates were balloted for,
II. B. Metcalf, Thomas r. Caskardon
of West Virginia and Rev. E. L. Eaton
of Iowa, Mr.. Metcalf receiving an over
whelming majority of the votes cast.
Immediately after the announcement
of the result Of the ballot for the presi-
Dental nomination DR.. Swallow was
proposed as the vice presidential NOM
inee. The convention went wild over
the suggestion, but DR.. Swallow after o
hurried conference with the Pennsyl-
vania delegation refused to accept the
nomination.
During the days session Chairman
Stewart of the national committee
called for contributions for the cam
paign and over $1,000 was realized in a
few minutes.
