ONE SIDED FIGHT.

Any effort to decry the quality
of our drugs meets with abso-
lutte failure. Ours is the. stock,
the best that can be obtained
from the chemists of the world
who will attach their names only
to articles of worth. Have you
ever thought of the importance
of pure drugs? Consider that
life hangs upon the quality, at
times, of the drugs administered
on a physicians prescription.
Understand that anything "just
as good will not answer the pur-
pose intended by the man whose
life study has been drugs and
their uses. No one knows the
value of purity in this respect
better than your physician. Ours
is the store where substitutes are
not kept, we give just what the
physician calls for in his pre-
scription, nothing more and not
an atom less. Our clerks are GER
titicated and will compound your
prescriptions carefully. Re-

FAVOR SHOOTS EXPULSION.
Committee on Privileges u Elections
VIII Probably So Report.

WASHINGTON, May i.-As the result OF
an exchange of views in the Senate room
on Privileges and Elections to-day 1t Ia
almost certain that a report will be made
to the Senate next week in favor OF the
expulsion Of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah.
1t has been the desire Of Senator Bur-
rows, chairman OF the committee, to get a
majority Of its members TO agree on u re-
port declaring that Senator Smoot is now
and was previous to his election disquali-
fed and that the seat he occupies is vacant.
Such a resolution would require only a
majority vote.
At the meeting to-day Senator Bailey OF
Texas took a decided stand against the OK
olusion resolution. He expressed the orin-
on that Senator Smoot ought not to be al
lowed TO retain his seat, but insisted that
he should he expelled by a two-thirds vote,
Eis pos ition was supported by Senators
Frazier OF Tennessee and Overman Of North
Carolina. All three OF the Democratic Sem
ators declared they would never join in a
report to exclude the Utah Senator by a
majority vote. .
The committee adjourned to meet next
Friday. at which time a day will be agreed
upon in tho following week when a vote on
the case shall be taken in the committee.
Chairman Burrows will call the case up as
q privileged matter a. soon as the rate bill
is disposed Of. He viii press the case to a
conclusion this session.

- SHELDON DIVORCE SIGNED
And Papers Sealed Up Partly Because Of
the Standing Of the PARTIES"

Supreme Court Justice blanchard signed
yesterday an interlocutory decree granting
10 Mrs. Emily Sheldon a divorce from
James Sheldon. Mr.. and Mrs. Sheldon
lived ut o East Tenth street until they sep
arated about a year ago.
Mrs. Sheldon is the sister OF John Folger
Adam and she owns tho Adam homestead
on Long Island. Her suit for divorce has
beer wrapped in secrecy ever since it began,
and Justice Blanchard on the application OF
John s. Montgomery, counsel for Sheldon,
directed that the papers and testimony be
sealed, because "the nature Of the testimony
and the standing Of the parties justified
such a course.
The suit was referred to Alexander V.
Campbell on June 10 last by Justice Clarke.
Sheldon put in an answer denying his
wife's charge of adultery and Mr.. Campbell
has reported that the evidence Induced by
Mrs. Sheldon proved her charge conclu-
sively. The name Of the correspondent is
protected by Justice B~lanchard's order.
There is no provision for alimony in the
decree, as Mrs. Sheldon is rich. Fisher A.

TO TRY GREEN AND DOREMUS.
Case Against Former state Senator VIII
Begin on May IL.

Us VIZ 'hey
WASHINGTON. May by agreement
rea ched to-day former State senator George
Z. Green Of Binghamton, ". V, and Willard
D. Doremus of this city will be tried on
May 81 on charges Of bribery and conspiracy
to defraud the Government in the sale Of
supplies to the Post Office Department.
The case is the outgrowth Of the postal
scandals Of a few years ago. Justice Gould,
in Criminal Court No. 1, granted the motion
Of the Government for the consolidation
Of the indictments against Green and Dore-
mus, charged jointly In one with bribery
and in the others with conspiracy to de-
fraud.
Green was tried and acquitted here about
two months ago under another indictment,
charging him with conspiring with George
W. Beavers to defraud the Government in
the sale to the Post Office Department OF
time clocks. The most important witness
placed on the stand was former Postmaster
General Robert j. Wynne, whose testimony
as to the active interest Of President Roose-
welt in the settlement Of the post Office
cases created something OF a sensation.
Counsel for the defence to-day gave notice
of their desire to have Mr.. Wynne, who is
now Consul General at London, testify
when the cases against Green and Doremus
are called.

HOTELS WITHOUT LICENSES.
New q Did Not Give Them Time. but
-s.hporary licenses Issue.


Some 900 OF the 1900 Raines law hotels
In Manhattan and The Bronx are without
licences, but this little drawback did not
prevent them doing business yesterday as
usual. The Prentice bill, which went into
effect on April 10, provided that before the
Excise Department could grant a license
to any hotel the application should be sp-
proved by the Building Department after
inspection. 1t will be weeks before the
inspectors Of the Building Department
get through, but temporary licenses will be
granted as fast as the certificates can be
issued.
The State Excise authorities have no
idea Of dealing severely with hotelkeepers
who are prevented by the physical i'm
possibility OF getting inspected In time
from obtaining licenses at once. But the
police are not quite certain that It isn't
UP to them to make arrests. Last night
Capt. Hodgins went around the Tenderloin
hotels and decided to arrest John Jones, o
bartender at the Hotel Vendome, at 1902
O'Clock A. M. The hotel management
hadn't secured even a temporary license.
About a dozen other hotels { nd saloons in
the district were not equipped with tenn
porary licenses and they had to shut up at
midnight.

in the Court OF Special Sessions for allow
ing two girls unsier 10 years Of age to do a

respectively, OF 1853 East 135th street. He
told the Court hat the treatment accorded
them when they made their appearance
on the stage was shocking and the way
they were pulled of when the crowd de-
clared their act rotten" was outrageous.
1t was amateur night at the Family
Theatre, Agent Moore said, and the crowd
came US usual with all the oldest fruit and
vegetables that could be found in Harlem.
When the Monahen sisters act came on
the crowd began hurting things, Moore al
legged, and the stage manager and his assist
ant had TO pull the girls of the stage, using
long poles to accomplish the feat.
Manager Ely said the girls were taken
of the stage to save them fr I'm further
humiliation.

BROOKLYN CARPENTERS STRIKE,
About 4 1000 Out-Nearly All the Employ

About haff Of the 1000 journeymen car
penters in Brooklyn went on strike yester-
day in consequence of the refusal OF their
demands for an increase in wages from
81 to $3.50. OF the 4lo members OF the
Employers Association, 1885, the strikers
said, have agreed to an increase.
The employers say that the wages and
conditions specified by the j~onrneymen are in
excess of those specified in the agreement al
ready existing. They say they nave offered
to arbitrate the controversy but that the
unions nave refused the proposition. Nearly
all the employers, it was said, had signed q
pledge not to accede to the demands Of the
men. These signers represent the largest
firms in the borough.
The carpenters in the Borough Of Queens
struck on April 1 for an advance In wages
from $3.50 to 81 a day. A good many of
them returned to work, but went on strike
again Yesterday as soon as they heard the
BROOKLYN carpenters were out.
