SNOW CAUSES GREAT LOSS.

 Niagara County (N. YJ Peach Orr chards Ruined--BuIliings Crushed. LOCKPORT, N. Y, Jan. 24.-The ia nous Niagara peach will be scarce article in the market next summer, for the snowstorm that has just swept the country has ruined all the young peach orchards in western New York. The snow was wet and heavy. It clung to the branches of the trees and bore the limbs to the ground. Only the peach trees were destroyed, as their limbs are almost as brittle and as easily broken as a clay pipesten.
 Raising peaches is the principal in- dustry along the shore Of Lake Cn- tario. The damage to orchards i'll this end of the state will reach S500,000 Almost all the farmers in Niagara county are showed into their homes, but the few who have managed to get to this city through the four and five feet of snow complain bitterly of their loss
 Shafer's machine shops on Market street have collapsed under the tons of snow that accumulated on the roof Barns and other buildings throughout the county have fallen by the score Many head of stock have been killed in this way, but it is not known whether any persons have perlshed.
 The fall of snow amounted to twen. ty-two and half inches, the greatest ever experienced here.

A New Way to Make Spirits

PEORIA, IL, Jan. 24.-The Cereal Sugar company of Peoria through an old German vinegar maker has discov- cred process whereby one gallon of hydrol. a byproduct in the refining of sugar, can make one gallon of excel lent crude spirits and about three gal Ions of good vinegar. The discovery has caused much interest among the glucose and distillery people. The com mercial value of hydrol is [ cents per gallon. One gallon of crude spirits is worth $1.32 on the market. There is tax of $11O per gallon on it, and the cost of producing is about 3 cents per gallon, leaving a profit of 19 cents per gallon as against profit of cents on the hydrol. The Cereal Sugar com pany will put in a still and secure pat ents covering the discovery and begin the manufacture of crude spirits at once

 Pharmacy Commission Decide to Stop
 d Number of Abuses.
 From the complaints which have reached the state board of pharmacy, the members of the board are satisfied that the laws regulating the practice of pharmacy have been violated in more general way than they had sup posed. On last Tuesday Il meeting of the board was held i'll Meriden at the office of the treasurer of the board, George l.. Ellsbree. All the members Richard H. Kimball (presidenD and Willis l.. Mix (secretafg, and Treasurer Ellsbree were present. The meeting was called to consider q number of specific cases, which were gross viola tions of the laws of the state. In discussing the facts relating to these cases the members found that each had information which compelled them to conclude that the violations were gen eral
 The pharmacy commission finds that the practice of farming out licenses is carried on by a number of druggists who formerly did business under the licenses. For q consideration they sell or loan their licenses to owners of stores who are not pharmacists and who, in some inStances have not even Knowledge of the clements of phar- macy The public will readily see the danger to which health and life are exposed by this practice of farming out licenses.
 In one case man hired q license for q consideration from a licensee and then went before the New Haven coun- ty commissioners and asked for a liquor license on the strength of the farmed out drug license and swore that he was licensed pharmacist. The pharmacy commissioners hearing of the case, told the lawful owner of the li- cense to remove it from the premises of the man to whom he had farmed it within ten days or 1t would be revok- ed The pharmacy commissioners have decided to revoke every license which they find is farmed out or loan ed and this revocation will be perma- nent.
 The pharmacy commission desire to Il the attention of druggists to the necessity of displaying their licenses in a conspicuous place in their stores. The commissioners find that ill some instances the druggists kept the licenses ill cash drawers and in other places where the licenses cannot be seen
 In a great many cases the commis- sioners find that it is the custom for druggists to leave their stores in charge of an unregistered clerk. This the commissioners are determined to stop. If the owner of the store wishes to leave it for any length of time he must place it in charge of a competent clerk who is registered, so that at all times prescriptions may be compounded with accuracy and under authorized super 1 vision.
 1 If the commissioners have erred at all it is on the side of lenIency. They now find that this leniency has been grossly abused. and at all hazards and without any regard for persons they will put stop to the abuse They will use all the power which the law gives them to compel those who dis pose of drugs to rigidly comply with the law.

Elephants on the rracls.

An elephant catcher rather than a COW catcher seems to be needed in h. dia. On the railroad between Bengal and Assam, according to the Railroad Gazette, as the superintendent of the line was making an inspection trip, while passing through the great Nam bar forest, the train came to a stop with jolt that threw the travellers out of their berths. The train had run into a herd of wild elephants which were trotting down the track, the last of which had both hind legs broken and was thrown into the ditch, while the engineer counted seven others which got away. This is not the first time that wild elephants have got on the track and ordinary fences and cattle guards are no protection.-N. |. Sun.

CUBA WANTS RECIPROCITY.

 This Is Granted.

Ruln Threatens the Island Unless
 This Is Granted.
 HAVANA, Jan. 24.-A large meeting in the interest of reciprocity was held yesterday in the Tacon theater, at which Senores Montoro Zayas and Dolz were the speakers. After the meeting a procession was formed, which marched to the palace of the governor general. Here Il commission waited upon Governor General Wood and presented the latter with resolu. tions to the effect that the people of Cuba of all classes-Cuban economic societies, political parties and munici paiities--believed that the ruin and desolation now threatening the island rendered useless the efforts of the United States and Cuba to establish a stable government and reconstruct the country.
 These resolutions also suggested that the Cuban commission now in Wash ington be recognized as being repre- sentative of the entire island and said that it was q duty which the United States owed Cuba to establish relations of reciprocity between the island and the United States.
 The American club. which partici- pated in this manifestation, sent cable grams urging the establishment of rec iprocity to President Roosevelt, the speaker of the house and the president of the Merchants union of New York.

Citizens Cannot Use the Church.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 24.-The Rev. Dr. Thomas Parry, sustained by the trus- tees of the First Presbyterian church of Williamsburg, has refused the citi- zens the use of his church for the Me Kinley memorial services on Wednes- day night next. When asked the reason for his action, Rev. Dr. Parry said; Our church has been used too fre- quently for demonstrations of a public rather than a religious nature. Every time public meeting was called my church was made the meeting place. That is not what it was built for. It was built for the worship of God. This thing of turning over the church to any one at any time has become, like Mark Hwadn's mule, too monQtQnous."

 NEW LUNAcY MEASURE.
Important Changes Made I'm Bil1 For
 Care of New York Hospitals

Care of New York Hospitals.
 ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 24.-The as sembly judiciary committee today re ported the so called lunacy bill with a number of amendments. Regarding the changes which were made in commit tee the chairman, Assemblyman Rog CTS, gave out the following statement:
 "The criticisms of the bill at the hearing on Wednesday when carefully analysed seem to have been directed chiefly to the humanitarian side of the question and to the various alleged de. fleets of administrative detail in the provisions of the new bill It was con ceded by nearly every person who spoke against the bill that the change made some ten years ago giving to the state commission in lunacy a central. ized control of the estimates and pur- chases for state hospitals as well as the application of the civil service rules to the employees and officers of state hospitals were all moves iii the right direction, although they were opposed at the time when they were first advo- cated by the then existing boards Of managers, just as the present changes are now opposed by the same infiu- ences
 "A careful study of the subject of state hospital management, viewing the system as whole instead of from the standpoint of the individual hospital, confirms the belief that a centralized control with proper checks and safe guards is the. best, most efficient and most economical
 It is apparent that for some years past the best work of the best mem bers of the various boards of managers has been along the lines of frequent visitation. careful inspection and thoughtful recommendation. With a desire to preserve those features and to meet the criticisms of the present bill the committee recommends amend ments which provide substantially that there shall be board of visitation in place of every board of managers which now exists. These boards are to consist of five members. Feeling the force of the criticism that one year was too short a term for such boards, the amendments proposed by the commit tee provide that the members of the newly appointed boards shall hold of flee for one, two, three, four or five years respectively. and thereafter each new appointee shall hold office five yearSn

ShoppipE iHl Havana

We have been asked to give fits' to Havana store keepers who decline to receive American money at the same rates paid by the casas de cambio. This seems to us rather illogical. The storekeeper is not in the money chang ing business. and his goods are priced in Spanish gold and silver, in accord ance with the well-established custom of the country, and the Spanish law which has been repealed. If the shop- per is dissatisfied with the store keepers rate of exchange why does he not change his money at a profes- sional money changers before he starts shopping? He could not com plain if the conductor of q trolley car declined to change a ten-dollar bill ex- actly as he wanted if done. His busi- ness is to provide himself with suit able money before he attempts to spend.--Hayana Sun.
