Instead of the stream from the appar-
atus striking the flames, it went al
most in the opposite direction. Up
to this time the flames had not been in
sight of the audience. While the
stage fireman was working in an en-
deavor to use the chemicals the flames
suddenly swept down and out. Eddy
Foy shouted something about the as
bestos curtain and the fireman attempt
ed to use it and the stage hands ran
to his assistance. The asbestos cur
tain refused to work and then the stage
hands and players began to hurry
from the theatre. In my opinion the
stage fireman might have averted the
whole affair if he had not become so
excited. The chorus girls and every
body else to my mind were less excited
than he. There were at least 500 per-
sons behind the scenes when the fire
started. 1 assisted many of the chorus
girls from the theatre and some of
them were only partially attired. Two
young women in particular were naked

Druggists Under Local option Law

Druggists Under Local option Law
Stanton Herald.
From the affidavits of 26 drug
gists in Montcalm county, which were
filed with the prosecuting attorney
last Monday, showing the amount
sold of liquor and for what purpose,
during the first three days of May,
we are inclined to the opinion that
sickness is on the increase in the
county. In those three days, it APP
pears from the druggists sworn
statements, that liquor, wine and
beer were sold to 422 individuals;
and, with one or two exceptions,
every sale was made for medicine. "
There were 307 pints of whisky,
brandy, rum, gin alcohol sold, 20
pints of wine, and ll2 OTIS. of beer.
We had no idea there was so much
sickness" in the county!
The Herald has done the public a
service in furnishing these stats
tics. We indulge in the hope that
it may continue to give weekly re-
ports. No other county news will
be of more interest until the people
become accus toned to the working
of the local option law.
The Herald published but there
days sale. Doubtless the next re-
port will include sales of the last
entire week, and thus on, say for
the full month of May. BY that
date an analysis of the reports
would be an additional interesting
feature. For instance, as to the
relative value, in the opinion of in
valids, OF liquors as medicine
whether about the same ratio of de-
mand exists for whisky and beer
for medicine at drug store prescrip-
ton counters as prevails at saloon
counters. Saloons sell more beer
than whisky as beverage.
Analysing the three days report
of the Herald, it appears that there
was an average of l04 sales day In
the rs drug stores making report,
or about 81 sales average to each
drug store-in Greenville, for ex
ample, there are four drug stores; il
the average may be applied to them,
Greenville sold liquor as medicine
10 about 22 persons a day. Con

The general Offices and principal
manufacturing plant of the Society
are the Bible House. Fourth Avenue
and Eighth street, New York. This
building was erected fifty years ago
by special gifts. A part is rented and
helps meet expenses of administra-

for the work.
The Society also employs mission
presses for many of its foreign issues,
as at Constantinople, Beirut, Shang-
hal and YokOhoma. But it should be
remembered that. all such work is
directed and paid for by the Bible So

trast this with the great number of
sales of liquors as a beverage made
each day in Greenville's eight
saloons, and feel profoundly great
full that the day Of the open saloon
in Greenville has gone.
The law is not working smoothly
yet for various reasons, one of
which is that its limitations are
not yet fully understood. Some
druggists seem to think that no
personal responsibility rests upon
them as to the real use for which the
liquor is used if the purchaser claims
it is for medicine. A Howard City
druggist sold liquor to an importu-
nate purchaser who gave some of it
to one or more bibulous companions
and trouble ensued. An officer in
terviewed the druggist with the re
suit that there will be no sales of
liquor for medicine to that class Of
persons by that druggist.
The supreme court, rs Michigan,
587, People V. Burwell Hinchman,
says:
A druggist, acting in good faith
In the sale of liquors, has a right to
rely explicitly upon the statement
made by the purchaser as to the
purpose for which the liquor is to
be applied, unless CIRCUMSTANCES or
FACTS known to him SHOW SUCH
STATEMENT TO BE FALSE and are
sufficient to satisfy such druggist
acting in good faith and in an hon
est endeavor to obey the law.
BY the above it is seen that drug
gists must not sell liquor as medi-
cine where circumstances or facts T"
show that the would-be purchaser
is acting under false pretence,
The statute forbids druggist
selling any liquor to be used as a
beverage. Supreme court SO Mich.
olV, Sd1 -
The statute prohibits the sale Of
liquors by druggist to any person
to be used as beverage.
And in questionable cases the
burden of proof that the sale is legal
evidently rests upon the druggist;
and the fact that a sale is recorded
and reported to the prosecuting at
torney has no bearing on case IN
less the sale be LAWFUL. The su-
preme court in the same case We
quoted above said.
The fact whether or not drug
gist, prosecuted for selling liquor
as beverage, kept a record of sales,
has nothing to do with any of the
necessary allegations in a com
plant for the offence charged, such
record being required for the entry
OF lawful sales. -Greenyille indie
