PHARMACY BOARD sNEERs
At Prohihitory Law-Sue9est Passage
of Druggists Law.


The report of the State commission
ers of pharmacy which was made
public Friday. shows that certificates
have been granted during the past
year to - registered apothecaries and
one qualified assistant. Eighty candi-
dates for registered apothecary and
one for qualified assistant We're ex-
amined The total receipts of the
commissioners was SlG03.50. The
commissioners after giving detail
statement of receipts state that they
are hampered in their work for lack
of funds. I'VE need money with
which to equip our rooms in the State
House. that examinations may be con-
Quoted on a more businesslike basis
and we would recommend that the
Legislature make an annual appro-
priation of not less than $4,000 for the
support of the commission. the COM
mission to return to the State all fees
received by them so that the net APP
preparation should not exceed $500
| per year
The commissioners speak in a
somewhat sneering way of Names
lprohibitory law and suggests the en-
Iactment of some form of a druggists
Ilaw. The report says The condi-
lions Of pharmacy in the State of
Maine compare in most respects with
lother states. The reputable drug
gists of Maine however, are continu-
Ially pestered by the general public.
lin most cases by the strongest sup
porters of the prohibitory law, asking
them to dispense alcoholic liquor on
the plea that it is for medicinal pur-
poses and we would further suggest
that some amendment be made to the
pharmacy law, allowing registered
Iapotheearies to dispense liquors in
! such cases in the way in which they
dispense pOisons; this law te have
the severest penalties attached, which
will not only effect the NiolatorS
themselves but also the purchasers
Iwho make false statements regarding
1.-THE purchase. Pure LIQUORS are add
United by everyone To be of medicinal
Ivalue. The druggist who wishes To
sell liquor i'm violation of the law does
it now, hut the man who regards the
dignity Of his profession cannot dis
Ipense even the smallest quantity for a
most urgent need without being a
terminal.
The members of the board when the
report was presented We're Frank w.
Bueknam of Skowhegan, Frank n.
Crane of Machas, and James a. Broe
of Portland Since the report has
been prepared, the term of Office of
MIR. Bucknam, who was secretary of
the board expired and he was sue
ceeded by Ernest l.. Cowan of Rnm-

YOUNGEST SENATOR
ATTACKS OLDEST
Luke Lea Leads Fight to Unseat
Stephenson-Spectacle Un-
preeedented.

The case OF Senator Isaac Stephenson
| is likely TO attract as much attention
in the next few weeks as did the Lori.
mer case when it was a live subject in
the open Senate. At present the Lorimer
case is again in the hands Of a commit.
tee. and until the committee report in.
| terest in it will be suspended. Meanwhile
interest in the Stephenson case will serve
to whet the interest Of people who like
| to see the Senate eXemplify its constitu-
tional power as the Judge Of the election
and qualification OF its members
1t looked for a time as II the Stephen
son case would be allowed to go by de
fault. a month ago nobody believed that
the Senate would give any serious con-
sideration TO It beca. Sc Il was under
stood that the charge OF corrupt meth
DDS and practices had not been proven,
and there was a general feeling that the
attacks on Senator Stephenson were in
spired by the political enemies in WiscOn-
sin. who had failed to produce the evil
dence to sustain their charges. But IL is
a serious question now whether Senator
Stephenson can retain his seat
Senator Heyourn has been pressing
for a vote, while the Senators who are
working to unseat Senator Stephenson
demand that the fullest possible time
shall be given for the consideration of
the case. Some OF Senator Stephenson's
friends were moving quietly around the
Senate yesterday urging Senators to
use their influence TO bring an early
vote on the case. Senator Luke Lea,
of Tennessee, who Joined In the minor
ity report, will open the debate against
Senator Stephenson. The spectacle OF
the youngest Senator leading an at
tack upon the oldest member OF the
body, and demanding that his seat be
declared vacant because 1t was OBJ
tained by corruption. will be one that
is probably without precedent in the his
tory OF the Senate, so the old-timers

AIRED AT CAPITOL
Subcommittee on Appropriations
Hears Arguments Pro and
Con in Controversy.

The question of the separation of public
and private hospitals, and the establish
ment of a municipal hospital, yesterday
was discussed pro and con at great
length before the subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee, which
has charge Of the District appropriation
bill. The cause of the municipal hos
pital was urged by members OF the
Board Of Charities, who also argued for
the withdrawal of Federal support from
the Emergency, Columbia, and other
hospitals. while representatives Of Emer-
gency and the other institutions under
fire rallied faithfully to the cause Of their
pet hospitals.
DR.. W. p. Carr one of the trustees Of
the Emergency Hospital was the first
speaker, and he spoke at length against
the wisdom of establishing a municipal
hospital George E. Hamilton followed
DR.. Carr, and held forth on the advan-
tages of the plan offered by the Board Of
Charities. John Joy Edison, president Of
the Board of Charities, also spoke, as did
DIR. George NJ. Kober, who laid a mass OF
figures before the committeeS in support
OF the contention Of the Board Of
Charities that the establishment of a
municipal hospital would be an economic
move.
Mrs. T. n. Rixey, wife of the Surgeon
General and Mrs. Emile A. f. Fitch.
president of the board Of lady visitors Of
the Columbia Hospital, headed a delega-
ton of women who appeared before the
subcommittee and presented a monster
petition in favor of a continuation Of gov
ernment support for Columbia

Commissioners and members Of the Board
Of Charities, were DR.. W. D. Boardman.
and Mrs. Thomas T. Gan, Of the board
Of trustees Of Emergency Hospital; Dr.
J. o. Skinner, head of the house stafr
Of physicians of Columbia: DR.. A. NJ
Curtis, of Freedmen's Hospital, and
others.
II was urged by the petitioners in favor
Of Columbia, that the appropriation bill
as it passed the House be changed so
Columbia Hospital should have the bene-
fit OF the $4,000 appropriated for INDECENT
patients under the charge Of the Board
of Charities.
To-day. members Of the board Of edu-
cation will appear before the committee
and urge that the items of increased
teachers, new buildings and increases in
salaries. cut out of the bill by the House,
be restored. President Oyster. Henry p
Blair, and DR.. Davidson will be spokes-
men for the board.

DIsLIKES PROBLEM DRAMAS.
They RidicHIe Wives, Says Con-
EreEatiOnaI Minister.

Rev. Frank ]. Goodwin, of the Mount
Pleasant Congregational Church, ad.
dressed the congress OF mothers OF the
District at its annual meeting, in the
oak room Of the New Raleigh Hotel.
yesterday afternoon.
The general subject of Mr.. Goodwin S
address was divorce, its causes. and the
possible remedies now offered by society.
He asserted that in the present state of
complex laws a uniform divorce law.
though desirable, would be extremely
difficult to get.
This statement was followed by a criti-
cism of the theaters. during which Mr..
Goodwin lamented the fact that present
day drama Of the problem order has
chosen the wife as a subject for ridicuIe
and satire. This could not help having
bad moral effect on the minds of the
young, he contended.
Following the address there was a
general discussion of the subject, during
which a return TO the ''Old home life
was urged. Some of the speakers were
of the opinion that a complexity Of in
terests was gradually threatening to dis
integrate the home.
Forty members of the District congress
attended the meeting.

Few Changes, as Stocks Move With
in Narrow Range-steel De-
spOndency Due to Competition.
BY THoMAs G. sHoTwELL.

New York, Feb. 0.-Stocks moved
within a narrow range to-day, and the
close showed but few net changes OF
importance. Steel men were despondent.
Railroad earnings showed a tendency 10
improve. Reading was sold rather free
ly, because IL Is known that no segrega-
tioH-will be announced soon unless or
dered by the Supreme Court. The con-
troversy over broken rails has brought
out some startling facts. For instance,
one railroad had reports on a single day
recently OF 1872 broken rails on 500 miles
OF track. Railroad men say that the
number Of broken rails during the bitter
colo o season must have amounted to
l.00O on some days
Dependency of the steel trust men just
now Is due to the sharp .coufpetition of
business. They are beginning TO real
ize, especially little ones, that the mills
are overbuilt. and II will take several
years for the country-to catch up with
them. The trust Is getting the bulk of
the business. but Is compelled to take
II at low prices. Failure OF several
steel men and small companies is ex-
pected. unless there is a radical i'm
provement in the near future. Competi-
ton Is so keen that manufacturers in
sist tarif reform could not bring prices
down any further, and they say that II
the tariff must be reformed It had better
De done now when 1t VIII do the least
Injury.
Bankers No Not Favor Ore.
An inquiry to-day as to the value of
Great Northern Ore certificates as an in
Vestment proposition resulted in the dis
closure that bankers closely identified
with the Hin outfit are not in favor
OF buying them now. The ore has proved
disappointing in point of metallic value
and the steel trust insists that IL is
very glad TO be relieved OF the lease,
aside from any influence It may have on
the suit for the dissolution.
Most Of the strength in to-day's mar
ket was in specialties. New York Air
brake was up 81 points. Panhandle pre-
ferred' up and the common II. Indus
trial Alcohol 3 and Havana Electric pre-
ferred Z Trading was on an extremely
light scale, but. in addition to the un-
certainty in a business way, traders took
into account that Thursday will be a
holiday.
Merger OF the Bankers Trust Company
with the Manhattan Trust Company as
announced to-day produces a new insti-
tuition, second only to the National City
Bank in financial strength. The total re-
sources will be $1s2. go 500.
Lackawanna stockholders authorized

dale calls attention in his annual report
OF the Lackawanna TO the fact that the
bills now pending I'm Congress to de-
crease the hours Of service and Increase
the number Of men employed by the
railroads will add materially to the op-
Grating expenses OF the railroads. He
says the fact that this a Presidential
year Is causing considerable hesitation in
business. which, he believes, will be re-
loved after the nominations are made.
