'DRUG STORES
TO CLOSE
SUNDAYS.
IAporHrcARY sHeps WILL SUS-
PEND BUSINESS FROM NOON
UNTIL SUPPER TINE


The druggists OF the city discussed tho
Sunday closing question and reached nm
agreement upon the mattcr ut the regular
meeting of the Harrison County assoc
citation Of Retail Druggists, held in the
court house Tuesday night at o'clock.
Nearly all df tho members Of the as
ISOLATION were present r. B. Haymaker,
the president, presided over the meeting.
After good deal Of discussion over the
matter of closing ALL the drug stores
in the city ON Sunday afternoons, an
agreement was made between all of the
members present to CLOSE their stores on
Sunday from noon until supper: time.
Tsie exact time dor closing will be de.
cided upon later; 1t viii either be from
u o'clock until 0 or from o'clock
until z.
The members OF the association who
were not present at the meeting will be
asked to acquiesce in the agreement, in
which event the agreement win be in
effect permanently.
Some three months ago an agreement
i was made between all of the druggists
to close their stores. on Sunday after
moons. The agreement was to remain
in effect for three months, in order to
give the thing trial. The proposition
seems to meet with approval with the
drug men, and so Tuesday night they
made the further agreement to continue
their closing hours ON the Sabbath as
heretofore.

Powellisrn In the Public Schools.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
30 far as. fundamental education is con-
cerned theI public schools Of this city are
an arrant humbtg.
Fourteen years of Powelllsm have an.
parently deprived officials, teachers and
pupils alike OF the power to shake Off Its
Iniquities and return to common sense,
practical and useful education and to dis
card the. phosphorescent glamour with
which Powell so effectually and permanent
~. cursed our hitherto splendid public
30 giaring and CALLING became the lido
syucracies Of PeWeIl!sm that an almost
UNIVERSAL protest came from the people,
and tho Ufited States Senate was induced
to make an investigation. After much con-
fiieting testimony tho Senate COMMITTEES on

schools.
The result was published and fully es-
tablished every charge made by the OPP
ponents Of PoWeilism, astonished the coun-
try and was the death blow to Powell and
his Ubiquitous system.
Owing, however, to the composition OF
the board of education and to the selection
made Of superintendent and supervising
principals, our schools are sill labaring
under the curse OF FeWeiiism, and the

Encouraging Genius.
From the New York Tribune.


Sir Oliver Lodge has set people in Eng
land thinking and talking about a possible
chance to promote human progress. He
suggests the propriety Of trying to find a
way whereby exceptional genius may be
recognized at an early stage. freed from the
primal and more sordid cares of life and
thus enabled to develop its usefulness to
society more fully than might otherwise
be possible. Whatever be thought OF the
practicability Of this idea, Its purpose must
receive unqualified approval, The Initiative

ply, letters. art, morality ana even in

Artificial Heart Beat.

From the Chicago News.
A scientist asserts that the heart Of an
infant aged three years was removed thirty
hours after death and subjected to a pro-
cess Of artificial circulation with a certain
solution, in which oxygen was prominent.
with the result that the organ began to
pulsate after twenty minutes treatment,
and Its regular beats continued for an hour.
The hearing of this experiment on revivins
apparently drowned persons is evident.
There Is a much more extraordinary case
of revival Of dormant vitality in the ami
malcules known as rotifers. These can be
kept in q dried state for months. yet on
the addition of water they resume their
functions with renewed vigor Rotifers,

WILL FILE A PROTEST.
Newport News Business Men Object to
Dumping of Mud in Harbor.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, November IL
The chamber of commerce last night adopt
cd resolutions protesting against the dump
ing of mud taken from battle-ground bar,
at the mouth of James river, onto the Cra-
ney Island shoals. A copy of the resolutions
will be forwarded at once to the Secretary
of the Treasury at Washington.
1t has been recently brought forcibly to
the attention of those interested in this port
that the dredging of battle-ground bar, for
which Congress appropriated 100000 and
which is now under way, is accomplishing
very little good. BY some it is claimed to
be detrimental. 1t is claimed that the con-
tractor is dumping the dredgings on Craney
Island shoals, and that the action of the
water sweeps the sand back into the chan
mel.
A few weeks ago the seven-masted
schooner Thomas w. Lawson went aground
in the channel while leaving this port for
Boston with 1900 tons of coal aboard, and
remained stuck on the bar for several
hours.
Contractor Jones is not held responsible
for the dumping of the mud as he is doing
the work according to specification from
Washington. The business men of this city
have tried for a long time to have the Mid
dleground bar dredged, believing that the
