for a considerable number Of years. during all OF
which time she has held the interest Of the know

most of her work. Since she last played here she
has been again in Europe whence silly ad-
vertising stories of the kind calculated TO make
her tudicous friends grieve were sent 10 these
shores but It was observed yesterday that her
good qualities are still many and great TO
forefend the forfeiture of respect for her
artist. Her popularity attested. too by the

Nine. ZeisIer played a long and varied programme.

on the whole Nine Zesler displayed most admir-
able mastery Of her art. a teusiEy OF nervous
strain forced itself upon the attention OF her lis

her powers should fall short OF the severe test TO
which she was submitting them. But she always
came out Of the trial triumphantly. most triun-

PVRE DRUGS.

The Attorney Generals opinion that the State
Board of Pharmacy has right to take samples
from bottles of drugs kept for sale by druggists
gives that board an opportunity to do much
good The authorized inspectors Of the board
now have the right to purchase samples OF drugs
on sale and determine whether they are pure
and Of the quality established by the pharma-
copneia There are undoubtedly pharmacists all
over the State who will look upon this opin-
ion as tyranncal and will condemn the IN
sDectors as busybodies. But the objections VIII
not come from pharmacists who aim to dis
pense pure goods. 1t was at their 1nstgauon
that the board was called into existence, and
they are responsible for the legislation which
aims to prevent the sale OF cut rate impure
articles.
The profits in the drug business are not small
Some people go so far as to say that they are
large and that at prevailing prices drugs OF
standard quality can be handled without loss.
Regardless of this fact. however, impure, di-
Iuted and reduced drugs are sold in large guam
titles with gain to the INSCRIPTIONS Venders
and danger TO the public. This practice will
receive shock when the men who have prOfited
by 1t read the opinion of the Attorney General,
in which he says:
think It entirely clear that it is the duty of a
Der of the State Board of Pharmacy, or an
authorized inspector thereof, samples Of his
goods upon being rendered. the purchase price
therefor and that in the event of his refusal
to do so he thereby becomes liable both to crini-
nal prosecution and TO an action for the TecoV-
cry of a penalty.
The man who in order to compete with his
neighbor reduces the quality Of his merchandise
may be committing a commercial blunder, but
that is his affair. The man who tampers with
drugs in order to reduce their cost or to In
crease his gains commits an offence against the
community, and this fact was probably recog-
nized when the drug inspectors rights were
defined.
The State Board Of Medical Examiners has
checked the career of the quacl5 and has earned
the thanks of the public The State Board of
Pharmacy will receive its share Of commenda-
ton also If it will prevent the quack druggist
from selling to his poor and ignorant custom
ers adulterated and spurious drugs.

ing the tax law, they were added to the olheF
taxable property OF the state
AS all these payments for which deduction IS
sought are purchase price, they cannot he IN
the nature of a tax" The-Court or Appeals
completely closes that avenue OF escape anu
leaves the corporations to pay the fulI TAX Oh
the value of their franchises assessed IN rhe
same proportion as are houses and buildings.
1t says not only that the old payments were not
taxes but In the broadest language that spe-
''cial franchises were not taxed until by the act
"of 1895" If special franchises were not taken
at all. except by this law then certainly no
former payments of any kind can be construed
to be lin the nature of tax
From another point of view it is clear that
the payments to cities for franchise grants are
not lin the nature of tax" The city has no
right to levy taxes of itself. 1t may sell tran
chises and collect the purchase price. but 1t I'M
poses no taxes without express authority or the

So certainly nothing "in the nature OF tax

The State Board Of Arbitration and Concilia-
ton in Massachusetts decided recently after
thorough investigation that the Lowell mills
with few exceptions had not been doing so
profitable a business that they could safely
afford to grant the 10 per cent advance in wages
which their employees demanded. That board
has an excellent reputation for fairness, ability
and grasp Of Industrial problems. 1t cannot be
that Lowell men and women who have worked
in the mills will be so blind to their own in
terests to compel the ruin of Lowell manu-
factures and to send the employers South!
The plantation "cakewalk' first devised and
practised below Mason and Dixon's line long
before the Civil War, seems to have become

the purpose of giving q farewell to
Miss Mary McElfresh and her

Mrs. Francis had provided q
