Postmaster General Payne has decid- ed on a new stamp, particularly design ed for the foreign mail service It IS to be of denomination new to the postal service-13 cents. At present it is impossible to send registered letter through the foreign mails without using two stamps. one of five cents, to pay the postage, and one of eight cents, to pay the cost of registration. When the Recent stamp Is on sale this will of course, be obviated by the use of one stamp. The design of the stamp pro yides for portrait of President Harri- son. which is an excellent likeness. MT. Harrison is shown seated at his desk in the Executive Mansion.

TO DEAL. IN
DRUGS And

Local Pharmacists Secure a
Charter as a Matter Of
Mutual Protection.

Articles have been filed with Secre-
Pharmacists company of Rhode Island,
organized for the purpose OF buying,
selling and otherwise disposing of drugs,
medicines and pharmaceutical prepara-
tions. cts. The capital stock Is fixed at
$1,000. The incorporators are Henry I.
Hough, Charles A. Gladding George A.
Ro,s. c. Eugene Hornberger. James
O'Hare and Nicholas II. Rener.
As TO the promoters, Mr.. Hough is the
proprietor OF two drug stores, one on
Westminster street in the Olneyville dis
trict and he has another on Cranston
street; Mr.. Gladding's place of business
is on Elmwood avenue, Mr.. Ross on
Camp street, Mr.. O'Hare on Benefit
street and Mr.. Hornberger on Douglas
avenue. The sixth and last Is Mr.. Re-
iner. whose pharnacy IL located at Gen.
tredale, North Providence. and no is
also a member of the legislature from
that town.
FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION.
They are oil retailers and 200 shares
of stock at SIS per share will be issued.
Under tho plan that has been laid out
in this city each man who is a member
OF the company goes to Its weekly meet
ing, at headquarters in the Columbian
building on Richmond street, with his
order slip stating what articles he needs
for his stock. The orders are prepared
In duplicate, the dealer keeping one
copy, while the other goes TO the secre-
tary OF the company. The orders are
then punched and the buying committee
takes control. Through the secretary
the orders are sent to tho manufactur-
ing concerns. The goods are sent in
return and are distributed. The neces-
sity OF cash payments is Impressed
upon the shareholders by the knowledge
of the fate OF other similar companies
In other cities which adopted the credit
system 10 their sorrow.
The theory OF the plan set forth. ac-
cording TO one OF tho incorporators. is
TO Offset the tendency toward centraliza-
ton I'm business by removing the induce
mont TO ccntrallze. The effect is not
only to give lower prices than before,
but also to give the druggist n better
profit Each man gets his goods at
the same price as the others. no mat
ter what the amount that he pur-
chases and large and small are treated
alike
They now number 50 members with
limit OF 600. and will at once organize
under the charter.
