Gossip from Washington

If Secretary Moody had any particular distinction as a lawyer before entering the Cabinet. 1t was entirely local, when he was elected to the Fiftyfourth Con gress to fill vacancy, serving until the latter part of the Fifty-seventh Con- gress, he was District Attorney by ap- pointment for the Eastern District of Massachusetts. He was not heard from during his seven years in the House as d lawyer. He was not even on it's Judiciary Committee, his committee service being confined to appropriations and insular at- fairs. MT. Moody is just 50 years of age.
 Spooner Has an Idea.
 Senator Spooner, who in his connection tee Is frequently in Washington, Is again consin and two days in New York. The Senator said. speaking of the talk of for mer President Cleveland as possible nominee for President: "I have no doubt in the matter. He would take it." But President Roosevelts nomination and election the Wisconsin Senator regards as practically settled"
 The Senate subcommittee is still at work on the task of devisng an inn proved currency plan to present to Con- gress as soon as 1t n ,ets The meetings of the committee so far have been de- voted to discussing the subject as 1t looks since the adjournment of the last Congress.

 The Association was a little late Tn converting. A slight delay was had In order to give the Birmingham delegation, which was on delayed Louisville and Nashville train an opportunity of being present.
 It was a few minutes after Il o'clock when President J. S. Brigham rapped for order The Council chamber at that time was we'll filled with delegates. The seating capacity of the chamber was taxed to its limit with delegates and in- terested onlookers.
 The exercises began with prayer by Dr. J. A. Rice. pastor of the Court Street Methodist Church. pr. Rice offered an eloquent plea for Divine blessing ana assistance to the men who stood be- tween life and death He asked that they be given intellect for the preparation of those medicines which men apply to the healing of earthly ills.
 Welcomed by MT. Sayre.
 T. Scott Sayre was presented to the Association by the President. MT. Sayra he said, had been selected oy the drug Rists of Montgomery to deliver the ad- dress of welcome.
 In the name of the city of Montgomery Mir. Sayre hade the druggists a hearty welcome. He expressed the hope that the Association with its interchange Of ideas would be so pleasant and profitable that the druggists would be truly glad of their coming. He paid a tribute to the druggists, their devotion to duty in time of perils, their sobriety their pleasant manners and their response to every de- mand made by worthy cause.
 The druggists of Montgomery. he said were actuated by high civic pride and a strong loc.h attachment So s'"-~" Was this local attachment he said that to his knowledge one of Montgomery's best known druggists ha l refused to sell a bot . tie of medicine simply because 1t had been in his store for forty years and another had refIsed to lave his people 10 accept an enormous salary to 'ravel for patent mcHcin c0ncs:n and give dn iIlus,rs.Ion of tfe marvellous efficiency 9f a hair restorer.

PRESIDENT OF PHARMACISTS PREDICTS
 PATENT MEDICINES WILL GO AT BARGAINS

In his annual eeport yesterday, Presi- dent L. s. BrighIm of the Alabama Pharmaceutical Assoclilii m. discussing the tendency to cut prices in drugs, de- clared that the Association would 1e Tn active service when pa. sat medicines were sold an bargain coutners, having killed themselves by til air own cheapness.
 Jhe report in full was as follows: ssa Gehtlemen-After twenty-one years of faithful life and gro vtn we are met again lin this historic city, to renew our pleas art greetings, to exchange our ideas, to confer together for our common interest and to carry back to our homes better love for our work, better appreciation of our fellow workers, and d sincsrer faith in the dignity of our calling.
 Although we are warned by wise men of the past to look oniy forward, and even the Script irss caution against he who puts his hand 10 She plough and looks back, yet only by a look backward a proper view of our pr rssent position and suitably project our uture.
 To look backward a generation, we see 8 mere handful of earnest men forming this organization. So ne of them are witn us today. Let us .naAe them proud of the body they planned and carried along through the obstacles of its early life and over the rough roads of indifference. For indifference is the greatest sin we druggists indulge in a matter like this organization and it's purposes
 This custom of meeting in the spring time for mutual help. organization and social exchange is but the survival of an old and needful custom among the profession. The clergy of the pioneer days of our country were the firstfso have a stated time for riding in to the seaport centre to report as to the spiritual well fare of their charges, to hear the ser mon of their leading expounder or re- ceige the blessing of their Bishop &C., cording to their ecclesiastical affiliatlon, to get the new thought from across the seas and to carry back to their stations In the wilderness more courage. a few books, maybe. an increased faith and better yet for our example d truer sat isfaction with their calling and a glo- rious determination to mind not small trials but to serve well their sacred part. The sessions of the higher courts give the lawyers call to meet together and compare experiences and broaden them selves by generous contact with, their brethren.
 When from Kings colony our early political status was changed to free and independent States, the meeting of the Legislature amplifed this opportunity and soon the wisdom foregathered here was scattered to village and hamlet. The doctors came next and furnish clever analogy to our own meetings for they must battle with charlatanry and witness constant conflict between ethics and temporary business success and between science and practice. And finally casting out heresy they must prove all things by the test of time and hold fast to that

which is good
 So fulfilling the old law, we have coma again to see and clasp each other and renew our former memories and each. give the other the best that is in hiIu.S If we carry not pack to our homes more hope, more courage and pleasant mem ories. our meeting is in vain.
 What of the year now closed?
 Since our grand meeting of 1902 at Bir~ mingham little that is important has E come to the observation of your presi- dent except in the matter of projected legislation. In view of the forthcoming report of the able chairman of your Leg islative Committee it would be unseemly to discuss in this address these matters to any length, but T brief survey In am ticipation of that report will not be out of place.
 In cooperation with the Board of Phar- acy two bills were introduced, House bills Nos. 150 ard l51. The one to re- strict the sale of cocaine to the prescrlp- tion of physicians, the other to amend the present pharmacy laws in such manner as to prevent the present dan- gerous selling of drugs by unauthorized persons and to prevent the procuring of registration without examination by phy- sicians and the correction of the evils fo1- lowing thereon. Both bills were reported favorably and are now upon the Calendar of the House. Later the bill prepared by your Legislative Committee was intro- duced and is now in the hands of the Committee on Public Health.
 Your attention s earnestly sought in these matters as they will be brought to your attention in this meeting under the lead of your Legislative Committee and as four years will elapse before another legislative session will occur, you must strengthen the hands of your committee and give them the aid they need.
 The matter of utilization with the Ma tional Association of Retail Druggists will always be a most momentous subject in these meetings. While we have as q State organization no control or author ity In any city over 5000 inhabitants and In no place whatever where there is local affiliated organization, yet always as parent body we must counsel and help all our members in whatever part of the State they live when they are con fronted by adverse trade conditions You will hear a report from our deIegation to the annual convention of the N. A. R F. and give heed to their suggestions
 Our organization is again gratiied that our Secretary has been reelected to place on the Executive Committee of that organization. I know you all re- joice with me that the tireless energy and tried ability of our brother from Tua- caloesa is meeting a national approcfa- ton.
 We have been in the past too lax and have violated our own bylaws in the matter of applications for memberships. We have been accustomed to receive an- plicaticn at these meetings and vote them -----------.-

NIGHT SESSION.
Received Reports from the Com
 mittees.

hAtICCSs
 The members of the Association reas- sembled promptly at o'clock last night. Upon calling the Association to order President Brigham announced that two members of the Executive Committee were absent. leaving only one member to do the work of the committee. He would. he said, appoint temporarily on that com mittee J. A. Harris of Camp Hill and l.. C. Lewis of Montgomery. They would. he said. with F.. K. Austin of Birming- ham, pass upon all matters coming be- fore the committee.
 A letter from Vice President D. c. Bauer of Mobile expressing his deep re- gret at being unable to attend the Asso- citation was read. He was detained at his home he said, by the serious illness of his mother.
 Chairman F.. T. Ruff of the Committed on Queries and Papers submitted a re- port on the work of his committee. The committee. he said. had written every member asking him to contribute to the Montgomery meeting paper or query. The work of the committed. he explained. had perhaps cost more than in years past but it's results, he said, were satis- | factory. because the committee had se- cured the promise of contributions from large number of the members. He read the list and Secretary Bingham said:
 "The committee has done more than any of its predecessors"
 Paper by MT. Harris. Under the head of the report of the Committee on Queries and Papers J. A. Harris of Camp Hill read paper on How the Association Can Be made Bene- fciaI to All Members"
 Mir Harris argued for a closer asso- citation. a nearer friendship of the mem bers as one of the most beneficial re- suits from the organization. MT. Harris spoke for higher ethics in the profession and he deplored price cutting. Mir. Harris thought price cutting to injure com petitor was one of the worst acts of any pharmacist.
 Chairman Run of the committee read a valuable paper on The Ethics of Phar- macy"
 MT. Ruff held that ethics were syno- nyTnous with morals. He contended that lanv deviation from the code of ethics is a deviation from the code of morals.
 As a practical pharmacist. he explain. ed. the peculiar temptations which be | set the druggists. temptations which af fected no other profession. How these temptations could be overcome. Mir. Ruff described. The highest standard of ethics he argued, should never be lowered. | The report of the Special Legislation Committee was on motion made the spe cial order for 9;3O o'clock today.
 MT. Candidus Reports.
 P. c. Candidus of Mobile made an in terestfng report on the jubilee meeting o the American Pharmaceutical Associa tion at Philadelphia at which he repre- sented Alabama. MT. Candidus is a vete ran member of the Alabama Association having been an active member since it' lorganizati ton and at one time served al 1 President.

Morning and Evening Ses-
 SiOnS We're Held. Price Cutting Discussed and Presi- dent Brigham Appealed for Higher Aims-Will Transact
 Business Again Today.

The twenty second annual convention of the Alabama Pharmaceutical Associa- ton met yesterday at noon in the City Council chamber. The attendance, the re- ports of officers. the applica tions for mem bership showee that the Association was in it's period of greatest prosperity since its organization.
 The attendance of delegates is much larger than when the Association met in this city two years ago. The seating ca pacity of the Council chamber was taxed by the delegates and interested onlook- CTS
 The Association in its first day discuss ed at some length rate-cutters and their methods. The most interesting deliver ance of the day on the subject of rate cutters was in the address of President L.. S. Brigham. The sale of patent medi- cines, MT. Brigham said. was only incl dental to the drug trade. All the eggs of the druggists, he said, were not in one basket. The work of the Association, he said was to make pharmacists wiser, broader and better men. The Association, he predicted. would be in active service when patent and proprietary medicines had been relegated ta the bargain counter and fire sales.
 The work of the National Association of Retail Druggists in reducing the evil Of fire sales was explained by Secretary w. E. Bingham, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the National As sociation. He presented a resolution pledging the assistance and cooperation of the Alabama Association with the Ma tional Association in the suppression of rate cutting. The resolution was unani- mously adopted.
 Lost Its Lady Member.
 The Association has all but lost it's only lady member Miss Alice T. Ross, beau- tiful young woman of Eufaula. Miss Ross was the only registered woman pharma- cist in Alambama. She was said to have been thoroughly versed in her profession and was at one time the pharmacist at the Bryce Insane Hospital. Since the last meeting she has married and Secretary Bingham was not in possession of the name of her husband.
 By resolution passed at the Birming- ham meeting the Association went on record as favoring strictly business ses- sions, with the elimination of entertain ment features. It was determined then to meet at central places in the State without regard to entertainment features
 The local committee of druggists; how ever, was not satisfied to allow the As sociation to meet in Montgomery with out providing some entertainment. Under the personal supervision or Iocal oecre- tary John w. Durr. Jr., all members of the Association enjoyed yesterday after- noon a trolley ride and visit to the Pickett Springs Ball Park where they saw a contest between the Montgomery and New Orleans teams of the Southern League.
 The Association will meet today at O clock and spend the day in the trans action of business. The members expect to finish their work by 4 o'clock this af- ternOOn

Miles Approves It.

It Is interesting to recall just now that when the Democratic Congressional cam paign booK of last summer first came from the press, General Miles was curi- ous to know who prepared that part treating conditions in 'fe Philippines. He was informed that its author was Sem ator Carmack. The General procured a number of the books and had a special copy for himself handsomely bound Un- doubtedly General Miless recent report on the Philippines makes 1t look as though he got his cue from Senator Car mack's campaign literature which was largely based both upon the records and upon facts which had been suppressed

English Agitating for Land Tax.

Practically only the buildings are taxed in England and this tax the occu- pant pays. There Is now a strong move ment in favor of the taxation of "ground rents" and site values" and the intro duction of the plan of laying assessments, as in this country. It is vigorously op- posed by the wealthy class, especially by the dukes who own the ground upon which London is built

Washington. May 20.-tSpecial. )-Army uniforms are conspicuously in evidence about the corridors of the war side of the big building devoted to the offices of the State, War and Navy Departments.
 It was Secretary Roots order that offi- cers of the army while on duty should wear their uniforms. As there are more officers detailed in Washington now than ever, owing to the organization of the army general staff, the sight of the blue and brass buttons, with the various trim mings to denote the cavalry, infantry or other branch of the service, the head quarters present a more distinctly mii- tary aspect than of yore. But the off, cers do not like the things little bit. Your professional soldiers want to get out of their uniforms as soon as they break ranks-barring of course General Miles. They see no tactical necessity for but toning up when they are on wholly peace full details. Once inside his workshop the officer uses every chance to shuck his braid and buttons. Formerly when the Root regime was not, army officers and civilian clerks of the Department all looked alike as to dress UCaJ-l

 There are lots of naval officers in the big edihce, but they never wear their uni forms. Indeed becoming and brilliant as 1t is, the navy uniform never comes to light except. on state and high social functions, or when on duty on a vessel.
 Roosevelt is Confident.
 Indications stick out from time to time that President Roosevelt Is confident of his election next year. The xeenest- wit ted of the public watchers of public char acter have already remark ed in the strik- ing changes wrought in the White House grounds at the instance of MT. Roosevelt showed unmistakably that he was shap- ing things to settle down in the Execu- tive Mansion for an indefinite time. Most people have forgotten that the President said when he was on the way to Buffalo when he was summoned there by the death of MT. Mckinley he would not be a candidate for election in 1904. Now the indications are that he will be a candi- date, If he's lucky next year, in 1908.
 Re that as 1t may. an intimate friend of Secretary of the Navy William Henry Moody says he has been assured by the President that If he will retain admin tstration of the department until 1905 he will place him upon the Supreme Bench of the United States, appointing him to fill vacancy which is to occur with the retirement of a member
