gan, 918 Eleventh street, northwest,
was the scene of a pleasant associa-
ton Friday evening of last week,
when u club of young ladies from
the northwest gave a complimentary
dance to few of their most intimate
friends. The first part of the evening
was devoted to vocal and inStrumen-
5al selections. Misses Lena Jackson
and Alice EdmonStOn rendered very
pleasing service in the musical line
About 1890 refreshments were pass
ed around. and it is useless to say
that this part of the program was
highly enjoyable. After this the dance
went on and continued to somewhat
a late hour.
Some of those present were: Miss
es Augusta Middleton, Louise Bradley,
Katie Stewart, Florence Bailey, Lena
jackson, Alice Edmonston, Lucy Cuba,
Lena Brooks, Grace Solomon, of Phil
adelphia, Pa, and Mrs. Sneed, Middle

her home, II o street, northeast, with
a severe case of chronic sore throat.
Friday, February 18th, was a banner
day at the Randall School, and the
pupils and teachers of that school
were given a literary feast that they
will not soon forget. Mr. J. F. Bundy.
a popular member of the School
Board, was the principal speaker, and
for nearly half an hour he most
charmingly and entertainingly simpli-
fed the life of the great Douglass, in
whose honor the exercises were held.
The attention of the pupils and
teachers alike wore a breath1ess atti-
tude, making the order superb
throughout. The speaker finished
amid unbroken applause, and became
the recipient of a handsome bouquet
Of flowers, including narcjssis and
American beauties, from the teachers
of the Randall School. The rest of
the program consisted of literary and
musical numbers, contributed by pu-
pills of the school. There were many
visitors present.

DRUGGISTS INTERESTED.
Suit of German Firm Against J. W
 Ramsey

AdLnSSy
 Louisville. Ky, June 16-Papers pre- liminary to an action involving thous- ands of dollars and touching the interest of many druggists throughout the United States were filed with the United States Court here this afternoon.
 The complain ng parties are the pro prietOrs of the Farbenfabriken, a large chemical works at Elberfeld Germany The defendant Is J. w. Ramsay, a local druggist
 The complaint arises from the purchase at various times by Ramsay from a wholesale drug dealer named Bartlett. located at Detroit of quantities of trionas and phenacetin. The Elberfeld firm claims to have a patent on tne process for manufacturing these drugs, and the claim is made that Bartlett violated the patent by selling the drugs without per mission. IL Is claimed that Bartlett made large sales of the drugs at a price about one-half that charged by the Ger nan firm.
 The German firm some months ago learned what was going on, and. accord ing to stat ament given out here by their reI resentative, comp elled Bartlett to fur nish list of his customers with the amounts furnished. These customers were approached by the German firm with a demand that they make good the loss occasioned by their individual pur- chases. It is understood that hundreds of druggists settled to avoid legal en- tanglement. but Ramsay will fight the case, The outcome is of direct financial import to hundreds of druggists scattered over the country.

"BLOOMING OLD MUG"
LIPToN's CHARACTERIZATION
 OF THE AMERICAN CUP.
Despite What He Has Heard of the Speedy Reliance, Sir Thomas is in Hopeful Frame
 of Mind.

London, June 1G-Sir Thomas Lipton's last night in England prior to his leaV- ing for New York, was signalized by a large dinner at the Carlton Hotel, given in his honor by George T. Wilson of New York, at which the leading Ameri- cans in London and many distinguished Britishers were present.
 The room was profusely decorated with British and American flags. Sir Thomas had an enthusiastic welcome from the company, which included United States Consul General Evans. Perry Belmont of New York, Lord Deerhurst and Lord Fairfax members of Parliament; Sir Charles Furness, Sir Gilbert Parker. Hiram Maxim and Designer George Wason.
 The menus were inscribed, Bon Voy- age to Sir Thomas Lipton." and bore a picture of the Shamrock Gtars and Stripes and Union Jack intertwined.
 Proposing the health of his guest MT. Wilson struck a note which was followed by the other American speakers in saying that while not wishing that Sir Thomas would lift the cup. Americans would rather see him successful than any other living Britsher. Both the British and American speakers spoke in the highest terms of Sir Thomass pluck and sports ma enship, and expressed hopes that they would meet with their reward
 Sir Thomas Lipton's speech, which was received with great enthusiasm was full of confidence. He said:
 T have the greatest respect, as have reason to have, for the skill of Ameri- cans as shipbuilders. but you would not expect or wish me to toe the line at Sandy Hook in any but the most hope ful frame of mind. I have a very good hope that l shall soon be employed in getting an insurance on the famous cup I have advantages which I never had be- fore.
 Prom what I hear. the Reliance is a wonder, for which I am glad, as we want to win against the very best that Amer lea is able to construct. If my hopes are fulfilled, I am certain the American peo- pie will not grudge me the success
 T wish to say in conclusion, gentle men, that I hope to n&et you all again when I return, but with the differ, nee that we shall have that blooming old mug in front of us,'

LAND BILL IN DANGER
JOHN REDMOND ISSUES AN
 ULTIMATUM.
Amendment Abolishing the Minimum Price at Which Landlords May Sell, Must Be Adopted, Says
 the Irish Leader.

London, June 1...-On the resumption of he debate on the Irish land bill in the House of Commons today, the amend ment of John Redmond, the Irish leader, which seeks to abolish the minimum price at which the landlords may sell, ever though the landlord and tenant might agree on a lower price, was dis cussed.
 Chief Irish Secretary wyndham declared that he considered that limits on bar gains were essential precautions. He was unable to accept Mir. Redmond's pro- posal to raise the minimum reduction.
 Mir. Redmond expressed regret at MT. Wyndhams decision, and said that if the amendment was not accepted by the Gov ernment, he was afraid they had arrived at the parting of the ways. The Nation alists must stand by the amendment and there must be time for the consideration of this point by the Government, other wise ninety-five of the Irish members would be found in the lobby against the Government. Irish opinion was united and if no concession was made. 1t would be impossible for the Irish members to report the bill as acceptable to the Irish people.
 Timothy Healy, Nationalist, suggested that the Government might get out of the entanglement by bestowing large discre- tioaary powers on the Estate Commission CTS.
 John Morley. Liberal, who said he feared the bill was in great peril. complained of MT. Wyndham's attitude. He said the English and Scotch members would only support the bill so long as 1t was ac- ceptable to all the Irish representatives.
 MT. Wyndham said he realized tlre gravity of the situation, but the minimum reductions must remain 10 and 20 per cent. respectively. He was ready to consider an amendment affecting non-judicial ten ancies
 MT. Redmond retorted that this was no concession whaever, as the bulk of the teants were judicial tenants.
