STORIES OF MUSICAL CONDUCTORS.

From The Pail Mall Gazette.
Julien was great creature, II not great

piece Nothing put julien out more than sry-

and sit down till the indignant mother had
been elected. Costa was ideal conductor Is
regards his command OF his orchestra and
chorus, but his tendency to OVerw helm every
thing with brass painful 10 the al-elce
and fatal to the singer. Probably the fact that
at the opera he had his seat between the or

orchestra, at present, had sOmethiu5 to 10

MUST BE EXAMINED IN JERSEY.
New-york State Dentists Cannot Get Ii
oenses There Otherwise.

The harmonious relations which have so long
existed between the Board of Regents Of this
State and The NeW-Jersey State Board OF Regis
trauon and Examination in Dentisty have been
broken.
1t appears that not until some salaaming is done
before the New-Jersey board will there every be
any prospect Of any dental practitioner in this
State holding only a license to practise dentistry
here being permitted to practise dentistry in New
Jersey. without taking the regular examinations
in dentistry of the New-Jersey board. And judg-
ing from the present tenor of the New-Jersey
board this subject of Interchange of licenses.
a New York dentist who has not a New-Jersey IL
cense, and who is bent mission OF relieving an
aching tooth in New-Jersey, will have to take a
relia bic ansthetic with him to prevent the patient
from making a sound which would set the legal
machinery of the New-Jersey board in working
order.
The cause Of this breach of amicable relationship
is due the secretary of the Board Of Regents of
this State 1t is said. bringing about the failure of
two dental practitioners of New-Jersey to get
license to practise dentistry in this State. The
New-Jersey board recently passed the following
resolution:
In view OF the fact that the Board of Regents of
New-York State has recently refused interchanges
dentistry from me Ne%SJesey State Board Of
NewJersey board has determined that for the pres
ent and until better understanding of the matter
without the examination required by law to per-
sons holding licenses to practise dentistry from the
spirit OF retaliation but wholly for the protection
OF the members of our profession who have been
licensed BY this board.
Up to the adoption of this resolution the New
Jersey Board granted license to all New York
licentiates who made application for such license
under the law. About twenty-three licentiates
from New-Jersey were recently licensed by the
Board of Regents of this State The refusing of a
license to two caused the passage of the resolution
One Of the applicants for license who was refused
presented his NeW-Jersey license it is said. and
certificate issued by the Commission OF Public In
struction.
The latter certificate said that the preliminary
education of the pplicant for a license equiva-
lent to high school graduation. 1t Is alleged that
the secretary of the Board of Regents of this State
made investigation into the standing Of the
schools in WHICH the New-Jersey applicant had re;
that the secretary decided that graduation certif-
icate from the last school not equivalent to
Sc counts demanded in New York.
According TO a report 1t not disputed that

whether the government proposes TO admit coal

that the wording Of the act leaves some doubt
as to the real purpose of Congress, Chairman
PAYNE Of the House Ways and Means Committee,
was consulted to-day, and his answer leaves no
doubt that it was the intent Of Congress that no duty
should be collected. The Solicitor of the Treasury
also gave an opinion in which he held that under
The act coal must be admitted free in the same
way that certain articles on the free list are ad-
rniTred under the Dngley act. The net result OF
these inquiries is that the department circular of
