The first of April in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, is something more than All- Fools’ Day; it is the great day for adjusting all the accounts for the year past, and for entering into engagements for the year to come. For generations the farmers of that region have crowded the year’s business as far as possible into that one day, and it probably never occurs to them that accounts might more conveniently be settled oftener. Ideas have never made rapid progress among these slow-going tillers of the soil, whose thorough conservatism resisted the free- school system as long as possible. As the fathers have done so must the sons, so far as circumstances will permit. Thus it was that on the first of April five years ago, as on scores of such former anniversaries, the county roads were noisy with the passing of farm wagons, all headed in the same direc- tion, and with the town of Lancaster as their destination. Long before light had many of the drivers begun their journey, for much was to be done ere they could return. The yellow oil-cloth-covered wagons of the Amish farmers were occasionally to be seen, but were not as numerous as the less-con- spicuous vehicles of their Mennonite neigh- bors.. On reaching Lancaster these were all ranged in long rows in front of the smaller taverns with which the city abounds, while the drivers crowded the banks, drawing or depositing money, and elbowed their way into the stores and shops to make their an- nual payments. It was not an unpicturesque throng that filled the streets that April day, and a stranger would have detected within it many novel and striking features, for, although it was not a crowd that possessed much bril- liancy of color, it presented great variety of costume. The Mennonite women, with their large black silk sun bonnets, their placid faces within outlined by a white mus- lin cap-border, formed no small portion of the assemblage; while the men of the same persuasion, their business done, in sober gray suits, with clean-shaven faces and close- ly-cropped hair, tramped sturdily along be- side their wives or stood in groups on the pavement blocking the way, and regarding the attempts of others to pass them with much the same absence of comprehension in their lusterless faces that a cow evinces when she stands across a foot-path chewing her cud in entire obliviousness to the fact that you desire to pass. Stricter members of the Mennonite faith—New Mennists as they are called—might be known .by an extra breadth of brim on their wide black hats, the absence of coat collars, and sim- iliar peculiarities of custume. Less fre- quently there might be seen the singular figure of an Amish man clad in along red- dish-brown overcoat, with numerous capes and skirts reaching to his heels. Sometimes the coat was lacking and the farmer appear- ed in a jacket fastened by hooks and eyes, and characterized by a total absence of skirts. Unlike their Mennonite brethren, these religionists wore beards, and_ their hair, falling to {the shoulders at the back, was cut squarely across the forehead just above the eyes. Hats of extravagant brim completed an attire having more oddity than beauty to recommend it. Occasionally one observed an entire family of Dunkards, or German Baptists, the children of each sex being dressed precisely as their elders; and looking in their quaint garb and serious faces, like dwarfs, who had early faced the situation and accepted the inevitable. Two young men in more worldly attire, who were loitering down King street in search of amusement, found plenty of it that morning in merely noting the people about them. The taller and finer-looking of the two was a visitor in the town and his friend, a resident was enjoying ‘his ex- clamations of surprise at the unfamiliar sights. ‘Look at that poor old fellow, Clem,” said the stranger to the town. ‘‘He doesn’t look as if he had a spare cent to bless him- self with.” The old fellow in question was a middle- aged farmer of decidedly shabby appear- ance, who was sitting on the curb stone en- gaged in eating an unpalatable-looking sau- sauge which he had drawn from his pocket along with a dingy bit of cheese. Clement Singleton, the one addressed, gave the old man a passing glance and burst into a laugh. “That is old Grouk,” he replied; ‘‘but your sympathy is quite wasted upon him, for he isa great tobacco farmer of this vicinity, and worth at least half a million. It is a solemn fact,” he added observing his friend’s look of disgust, ‘‘and I suppose his frugal disposition, one evidence of which you notice now, helped largely in its acquire- ment.” A little farther on, the sidewalk was ob- structed by some packing boxes, and in the narrow space left for passage a heavy, clumsy Mennonite was standing with his back to them. He turned about as they came near and faced them with a slow, bovine stare that was utterly devoid of in- telligence. He made no offer to move, but merely looked at them with that slow gaze which, while it amused Singleton’s friend, + CHICAGO, TLL, ‘Come, let us pass, will you?” he said sharply, and with a lumbering gait the far- mer moved aside. “That is another of your county million- aipes, I suppose, isn’t he, Clem?” question- ed the other a moment after. “I don’t know him,” was the response; “but he may be, for most of these Mennon- ite farmers are well off, especially if they are tobacco raisers.” The latter part of Singleton’s assertion was true enough, but Heinrich Bruner, the man who had so deliberately made room for the young men, was far from being rich, though by no means a poor man. Like the other farmers, he had been making his year- ly payments and settling his bank account, but unlike many of his neighbors, there was not the amount at the bank to his credit that it would have been pleasant to see there. To be sure, he had, beside, odd sums tied up in bits of stocking and hidden away in nooks and corners at home, but the whole amount was less that his brother Sigis- mund Bruner at Petersburg possessed, and their cousin, Adam Bruner, of Manheim, was worth double what the brothers owned. He was thinking of all this as he turned away from the bank, and when met by Sin- gleton and his companion had paused in his walk, completely lost in his confused reck- onings. He was not so stupid as the young men had imagined, but he did not grasp’ ideas readily; and, already pre-occupied as he was, it needed the stimulus of Singleton’s words to rouse him to full consciousness of what was required of him. It had come to’ him to-day with some force that he was growing old. He had not thought much about it before. One year of his life was very like another, and there was not much in his’ surroundings to re- mind him vf the flight of time. True, his children were growing up about him, but this did not impress him with the fact that his own years were increasing. To-day, however, he had met in Lancaster Gottlieb Hogendobler, whom he had known when he was young, and who was now a wealthy tobacco farmer near Quarryville. They had not met for twenty years, and Heinrich was surprised to find how old and bent his early friend appeared, and remarked upon it ac- cordingly. The venerable Gottlieb did not seem overpleased at the observation. **Look here once Heinrich,” he rejoined, laying his hand on the other’s shoulder, “you call me old when you are the oldest, mein freund,.” **Nein, Gottlieb, it is not so,” said Hein- rich, shaking his head in denial. “It is so,” maintained the tobacco farmer stoutly. ‘On next Pfingstmontag it will be my fifty-seventh geburtstag.” Upon this confident statement Heinrich began counting on his fingers and reckoning from variousgdata, such as the year a cer- tain preacher came, the time when apple- snitz brought such a high price on market, and the year when he figured as the Bell- schnickel for his children’s amusement at Christmas, arriving at last at the mournful conclusion that if he lived till the next Fass- nacht he would be sixty years old. Sixty years old! And he remembered that his father Conrad was but sixty-five when he died. Sixty years old, and there were five children yet to provide for, and it had been Heinrich’s one ambition to do as well for them when they should begin life for themselves as old Conrad had for Sigis- mund and himself, and the sisters Christine and Veronica when they were married. Of the five children, Jacob was the eldest; he must be at least twenty-four, the father thought. Hewould be wanting to marry soon, and as for the next oldest, Johanna, there was Franz Dieffenbach coming to see her every week. Nor would it be long be- fore the others would be wanting to marry, and how was he to provide farms for them all? Johanna, the only girl, would go to her husband’s farm when she married, but Franz Dieffenbach was not the man to take her with no money. Whatever happened, he must do well by Johanna. But Clement Singleton had roused him from his musings, and the court house clock striking two reminded him that he must soon be driving home. Jacob had come to town with his own team and would return when it suited him, but ‘young Heinrich, the youngest of his sons, must be hunted up be- fore he could start for home. The elder Bruner had left his horses and wagon at the sign of the Cross Keys, and had enjoined upon his son not to go far from that vicin- ity, and as the boy never contemplated even a slight deviation from the letter of his fath- er’s commands he was easily found. He was an awkward, shapeless lad of fifteen, and when seen by his father was standing before a jeweler’s window, lost in wide- mouthed admiration of the glitter with- in. “Oh, father, just look in the fenster awhile yet,” he exclaimed, when aware of the other’s presence. But the elder Heinrich remained undaz- zled by the sight of the window and its glories. : “Tt ish no good,” he replied. ‘‘Come away once; it ish all foolishness,” and re- luctantly the boy obeyed. As Bruner was leading ie = from the stable sheds, his foot hit some small object which he pushed aside without looking to see what it was, but after his team was ready to start and young Heinrich was already on the wagon seat, the farmer missed the horse blanket, which served them also as a cushion, and which had been left im the shed. Going back, therefore, for the blanket, he passed the same dark corner where he had kicked aside the small object in the straw. Something impelled him now to look down, and there, just at his feet, lay a coarse leather wallet, which some visitor to the stables had probably dropped not long before. He stood gazing at it for a mo- ment in silence, and then hearing footsteps approaching, he stooped, picked up the wal- let and placed it in his pocket, and a mo- ment later having found the blanket, had climbed with it into the wagon beside his son. Just what heZintended to do with the wallet was not clear to him at that moment, for he arrived at definite conclusions with great difficulty. As far as he was conscious- ness of any idea in the matter, it was that he would take the wallet home with him, see what it contained and afterwards adver- tise it in the Lancaster papers. Perhaps be- fore that he might hear who had lost it. Such a thing as the finding of money was so new a thing in his experience that it was hard to know at once what should be done about it. His instinet told him that if he entered the bar-room of the Cross Keys, saying that he had found some money, it might be claimed by the wrong person, and he did not like to be found there in the sta- bles counting it over. It might be said that he had stolen it. No, he would wait till he reached home, he resolved, as his mind par- tially cleared itself while he drove slowly out of town; there he could count the money, and if any one should claim it when adver- tised, he would say first: ‘Stop, my good friend, how much did you lose?” And so it would be sure not to get into wrong hands. Having reached this point in his soliloquy, he urged his horses into a faster gait, and the ten miles of distance that lay between Lancaster and his farm were soon overpast. He had not spoken to his son during the whole time, but conversation was not a strong point with any of the Bruners, and the boy thought nothing of his father’s si- lence, being wholly busied with the sights he had seen that day. It was the first time in his life that he had ever been so far from home as Laneaster, and he naturally felt that such a serious event was not to be lightly contemplated. A native of Borneo visiting a World’s Fair could hardly have been more impressed with the novelties about him than was this simple country boy by the glimpse of life afforded by a few hours in this small inland eity, and it is lit- tle to be wondered at that his mind did not readily adjust itself to his suddenly-enlarg- ed experience. Thus occupied in mental di- gestion, he failed to observe that his father was more than usually tactturn, and the latter did not mention his discovery to his son, since he could see no possible reason for so doing. The afternoon was well advaneed when a turn in the road brought them in sight of the Bruner homestead. It was a comfortable place to look at. The red brick house, a story higher at the back than at the front, bore in a conspicuous place a lozenge-shaped tablet of white marble, stating that Conrad and Katrina Bruner built the house ‘‘in Jahre 1831.” Beyond a neatly kept yard at the rear rose a large yellow barn, under the forebay of which a number of handsome cattle stood switching their tails with a leis- urely motion, that implied no necessity for the act and rather conveyed an impression that the switching was merely a good natur- ed condescension to popular prejudice on the subject. As the wagon drove into the yard, a great commotion at once arose among the fowls that had been quietly saun- tering about till that moment. Four or five guinea hens, with discordant eries, ran skulking behind a row of currant bushes, but, discontented with that place of refuge, soon rose in disorderly flight, alighting near the dog-kennel, and causing its worthy oe- cupant to rush forth ina high state of excitement. Half a dozen ducks, which had keen sunning themselves by the fence, sud- denly felt it imcumbent upon them to seut- tle across the roadway with much apparent haste but little real progress. A few rods further on some hens, which had been stand- ing in the path of the approaching wagon, but affecting not to perceive it, were at length seized with a proper sense of their peril, while at the same timea painful doubt in which direction to seek safety seemed to agitate their minds, as evidenced by purpose- lessly rushings to right and left and much rapid and excited conversation among them- selves. Leaving the wagon and. horses in charge of Heinrich, the farmer entered the house, and after a word to his wife and Johanna, who were preparing supper in the kitchen, went up stairs to his sleeping-chamber, and enteying, closed and bolted the door. Then drawing forth the black wallet from the in- ner pocket where he had placed it, he began to examine its contents. That was not a brief operation, for the rolls of bills it con- out his. horses | slow, but at length he had spread out the last bill before hiyp, and there was nothing beside the money in the wallet, which con- tained no clue to the owner. It was a large sum that was in his hands—a fraction over twenty thousand dollars. He wondered who had been so unfortunute as to lose all that. Twenty thousand dollars! How sucha sum would swell his credit at the bank! Twen- ty thousand! That would buy Jacob a hand- some farm, and leave nearly half for Johan- na when she should marry Franz. There would be enough of his own for the others when they wanted to marry some day. If this money were only his, what gn easy way it would show him out of present diffieul® ties. The sound of the farm-bell ringing for supper broke in upon his musings, and pastily placing the money in the wallet, he thrust it into a deep chest, the key of which was always carried in his pocket, and went down stairs. Jacob had not yet arrived from Lancaster, but the rest of his children, from Johanna down to young Heinrich, were present at the supper-table. Susanna Brener, the mother, was dressed, like other Mennist matrons, in sober gray, witha short cape, pointed at the front and back, plain book-muslin cap. Johanna’s attire was more worldly in character, for her dress was a gay purple, and there were earrings in the small ears. But then Johanna had not yet ‘‘entered the meeting.” Whenever that event should take place, she would put on the plain dress of the seet. She hada sweet, placid face, not unlike her mother’s, and seemed more intelligent than any of her brothers present. Of these, Walter was the eldest, a well-shaped lad of twenty, but with dull, heavy features, in this resembl- ing his father as nearly as a young man can resemble one whois old and worn. The next youngest, Sigismund, named for the Petersburg uncle, was a red-cheeked boy of eighteen, whose appetite at this period of life was much sharper than his intellectual perceptions. There was no display of affee- tion among the Bruners, but the family tie was strong, nevertheless. As the father looked about npon his children, his mind went back to the money up If the twenty thousand dollars were only his, what might he not do for them? His father, Conrad, when he died, thirty years ago come next Good Friday, had done well by his four children, and Heinrich would like to do no less for his. Truly it would be a good thing for him if he should never hear who had lost the money. When supper was over and the necessary work at the barn accomplish- ed, the family all went to bed, althongh it was not much past seven o’clock, and there still lingered a faint glow in the west. But people who feel called upon to rise and begin the work of the day at two or three in the morning, have need to be in bed at an early hour. ‘ But Heinrich the elder did not fall asleep as readily as usual, for he had the money to think of. In his imagination he was ecount- ing it over again, and more than once after his wife was asleep he raised himself on his elbow, that he might look over to the corner where the chest was, and satisfy himself that it was still there. What if he should keep this money for himself? He shudder- ed when he first ventured to shape his thoughts in this wise, but soon he was able to think of it without a feeling of ho1ror. Surely it would not be so very wicked to re- tain it, since it was not for himself but his children that he desired it. How could it be so very wrong to use for the good of otb- ers what had come to him by chanee? He had not stolen it. By the merest accident he had found it at a time when he needed it sorely. Perhaps it was really meant for him, and there was no accident in the matter. and a toire Stars. {Continued next week.] —_——_-—_ —=>—@--~<— Cold Comfort. From the New York Times.

Recent scientific investigations have de- monstrated that timber cut in the spring is not so durable for building purposes as that cut in the winter. This conclusion is borne out by the opinion of experienced builders, the majority of whom have long held to the same view. It has been found that wood containing large amounts of phosphoric acid and potassium is more liable to rot than when those elements are present in only small quantities. In the spring, standing timber contains about eight times as much phos- phorie acid, and about five times as much potassium as in the winter; hence the de- sirability of cutting it before the sap has distributed these substances through the tree. That the American Indian still retains some of the daring and cunning in warfare that characterized him before the white wan’s whisky had corrupted him is shown in the recent gallant exploit of Geronimo, the Apache chief, who stole through the cordon of soldiers and actually entered the military reservation at Fort Apache and car- tained were large and his calculations were ried off his wives in triumph.

The organization of the grocery trade of Grand Rapids is now an accomplished fact, and the object for which THe TRADESMAN has striven for over two years is no longer a vague unreality. The large number who attended the meeting last Tuesday evening, and the character of those who are promin- ent in the moyement, augur well for the fu- ture success of the organization, and it goes without saying that the Retail Grocers’ As- sociation of Grand Rapids will accomplish the same good for the retail trade of this city that similar organizations have elsewhere accomplished for the business men of their respective localities. Tre TRADESMAN advocated the organiza- tion of the retail trade only after a thorough investigation of the working of such asso- ciations in the Eastern states, which inves- tigation brought with it a realizing sense of the advantages invariably obtained by con- certed action, intelligently and sensibly ex- erted. The possession of this knowledge led Tre TRADESMAN to the conclusion that Grand Rapids should be able to reap similar results, and it remains for the members of the new organization to determine whether they will swing into line with their no more intelligent or prosperous brethren in other nard. Sears, dnesday even- cities. As soon as twenty-five Michigan cities have adopted the retail dealers’ movement, Tie TRADESMAN will act on the sugges- tion of President Hamilton, of the Traverse City Business Men’s Association, and calla State convention, to be composed of dele- ates from each association. sciusitnieneimimmn ye ge bs = The Supreme Court has declared the anti- oleomargarine bill unconstitutional, on the ground that the body of the bill does not conform to the title.

At the second annual meeting of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society, held at Tue TRADESMAN Office last Thursday evening, the following members were pre- sent: President Wurzburg, Secretary Es- eott, Will L. White, John E. Peck, H. B. Fairchild, Albert F. Hazeltine, Isaac Watts, Eugene Klein, H. E. Locher, Theo. Kem- ink and A. Sanford. The application of Wim. H. Tibbs, for membership in the Society, was received and referred to the appropriate committee. Treasurer Fairchild reported the receipts of the year to be $102—-$64 from initiations and $38 from dues—and the amount on hand to be $32.40. The report was adopt- ed. Secretary Escott made the following re- port: Soon after the meeting of the Michigan Pharmaceutical Association in Detroit, last year, the question of organizing a society in Grand Rapids was agitated by some of those who attended the meeting, and a prelimi- nary meeting was held at the Morton House parlors Oct. 9, 1884. This meeting was at- tended'by representatives of ten drug stores, all of whom were heartily in favor of or- ganizing, and a committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. This com- mittee reported ata subsequent meeting held atthe same place Oct. 16, 1884, when a constitution was adopted. The organiza- tion was completed by the signing of the constitution and the election of officers at the first annual meeting, which was held at Tue TRADESMAN Office, Nov. 18, 1885. Eighteen persons signed the constitution as charter members, viz.: Isaac Watts, Peck Bros., ©. P. Bigelow, Kemink, Jones & Co., J. 8S. Cowin, W. E. White, R. A. Schouten, M. B. Kimm, E. R. Wilson, L. M. Herrendeen, Hazeltine, Perkins & Co., L. D. Putnam & Co., F. H. Escott, W. H VanLeeuwen, O. H. Richmond & Co., A. C. Bauer, H. E. Locher and H. & F. ‘Thum. The following have been elected members during the past year: Geo. G. Steketee, D. Kimm, E. B. Curran, A. Baxter, C. I Escott, R. A. McWilliams, Blake Gibson, A. Stonehouse, J. S. Page, Aaron Clark, Lucas Schiphorst, Bochove & Sanford, W. H. Knight, J. I. Zerkle, Eugene Klein, D. B. VanBuren, A. F. Hazeltine, Mills & Lacey, W. H. Ross, W. L. White, J. W. Hayarwd, J. E. Hunter and W. J. Page. There have been thirteen meetings held to date (including the two preliminary meet- ings), at which a quorum was present, and twice no quorum could be obtained. Iam sorry that no roll has been kept during the past year, as it might be interesting to know who attend the meetings and who do not. This should be remedied by the new Secretary. Scientific work has occupied yery little time in the meetings of the So- eiety, most of the time being given to trade matters. The great work of the year has been the securing of uniform prices on pro- prietary articles, with what success you all know. These results bid fair to continue during the coming year, and give the Socie- ty more time for the discussion of matters relating to pharmacy. Starting with an attendance of only ten at our first meeting, and now having a mem- bership of more than forty, the Society has reason to congratulate itself on its success and to anticipate great results in the future. The report was adopted. The election of officers being next in or- der, President Wurzburg appointed Albert ~. Isaac Watts nominated the present incum- bent of that office. Mr. Wurzburg thanked the Seciety for the honor already conferred upon him, but suggested that the one-year term adopted by the State Association be made the rule in this Society. He nominated John E. Peck, as in every way qualified for the posi- tion. Mr. Peck declined the nomination, stating that even if elected he should refuse to serve. He held that the experience gleaned the re-election of every oflice.r Frank H. Esecott nominated Dr. Locher. Mr. Wurzburg receiving six of the eleven votes cast, he was declared unanimously elected. He thanked the Society for re- electing him to the responsible position of President, and pledged himself to do the best he could for the Society. He said the organization was no longer an experiment, and thateven the most enthusiastic promoters of the Society could have hardly anticipated thepresent stability of the organization. A year of profitable existence has proven that the movement was not boy’s play. John E. Peck nominated Wm. L. White for. Vice-President, and Isaac Watts pro- posed the name. of Wm. H. VanLeeuwen. Mr. White received seven of the eleven votes and was declared elected. H. B. Fairchild moved that Frank H. Escott be re-elected Secretary by acclama- tion. Mr. Escott nominated Wm. H. Van- Leeuwen and Isaac Watts presented the name of John E. Peck. Mr. Escott was unanimously elected. H. B. Fairchild was unanimously re-elect- ed Treasurer. The following were elected members of the Board of Trustees, the President being Chairman ex-officio: John E. Peck, Wm. H. VanLeeuwen, Wm. L. White and Isaac Watts. The President was given time until the next meeting to announce the standing com- mittees. John E. Peck moved that the Society vote $25 to Seeretary Escott as a slight token of the appreciation of the members for his services. The motion was adopted. Isaac Watts moved that the Secretary be instructed to notify each member who is be- hind with his dues. H. B. Fairchild moved as an amendment that the Secretary have postal cards printed and notify the members each quarter when the dues are payable. The amendment was adopted. Frank H. Escott offered an amendinent to Article 1, Section 3, of the by-laws, so as to read as follows: ‘‘Every member shall pay in advance to the Treasurer the sum of two dollars as his anuual dues and shall be lia- ble to lose his membership by neglect to pay said dues one year.” Frank J. Wurzburg moved an amendment relative to honorary members, providing for their admittance to membership in the So- ciety. Diseussion of the poison question being then in order, H. B. Fairchild introduced the subject by the presntation of the fol- lowing: H. E. Resolved—That this Society adopt the following pharmacy regulation of the Wis- consin Society: As an additional precau- tion in the dispensing and sale of potent medicines, pharmacists are requested to af- fix a strip of rough emery cloth around each shop bottle, or other container from which they dispense morphine and other poisons; the width of the aforesaid strip to be not less than one-fourth of the altitude of the dispensing bottle and to be pasted under the label of contents.” Isaac Watts presented the precaution sug- gested by a Western drug journal—that a strip of steel be riveted over the neck of the bottle and a torpedo affixed. If the phar- macist survives, the shock is likely to bring him to his senses and preclude his making a mistake. Seriously, Mr. Watts recom- mended Prof. Bedford’s rule—two looks and a level head. John E, Peck recommended the use of a rubber band around the neck of the bottle. His present method of distinguishing po- tent liquids is to tie a thread around the neck of the bottle with a screw ot the end of it. Mr. Watts stated that no one should ever be allowed to engage in conversation with the prescription clerk while in the perform- ance of his duties. Mr. Peck remarked that one peculiarity of the mistakes made is that they are gen- erally made at the hands of ‘experienced pharmacists. President Wurzburg asked if it was the custom of those present to affix a poison label to prescriptions containing poisons. Mr. Peck stated that the courts had decid- ed that the poison label must be used in such cases. The President stated that ever since a child had drunk one of his prescriptions, he had been in the habit of so doing. Ii. B. Fairchild related an experienced which came to his knowledge from Batavia, N. Y. A gentleman entered a drug store and asked a boy for rochelle salts. The boy stating that he did not know where this drug was kept, the man stepped to the shelf, and saying that he would help himself, took three tablespoonfuls of antimony, from the effects of which he died. This occurrence was published in papers all over the coun- try as ‘‘another drug clerk horror.” Mr. Watts stated that some physicians would not allow their prescriptions to be taken to drug stores which make a practice of affixing poison labels to prescriptions con- taining poisons. Will L. White said he once tried putting on the poison label, but that the sp /jcame around: during the past year should be utilized by | whole establishment. That one case settled it. He never tried it again. Albert F. Hazeltine said that the physi- cians in his locality objected strongly to the poison label. Mr. White thought that every prescrip- iion should bear a statement cautioning peo- ple against taking more than the directions called for. Mr. Peck enquired how this would do with prescriptions ‘to be taken as direct- ed.” Frank H. Escott related an experience he had with a local business man taking a half bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral at one dose, which nearly killed him. Eugene Klein said that much trouble could be avoided by making an impression on the mind of the receiver. Most people think that the directions are plain enough, and look upon any suggestions from a drug- gist as an interference. Nevertheless, he advises patients to be cautious and follow directions strictly. Discussion then being closed, Mr. Fair- child, in behalf of the Society, presented the editor of Tae TrApDresMAN with a hand- some black walnut bookcase as a token of his services to the drug trade of the city and State. The recipient of the gift thanked the Society for this token of their esteem, and promised that he would strive harder than ever to do his duty by the donors and their brethren of the State. The meeting then adjourned until Thurs- day, December 8. —————————~.-+—- First Examination of the State Board of Pharmacy. Thefirst examination for registration under section 5 of the pharmacy act took place at Detroit on Tuesday and Wednesday, Noy- ember 3 and4. Thirty-nine applied for ex- amination, but two withdrew after the first session. The remaining thirty-seven passed avery satisfactory examination. ‘The ex- amination was in writing, and was divided into fifty questions in the identification of drugs, fifty questions in materia medica, fifty questions in pharmacy, twenty-five questions in chemistry and ten prescrip- tions. The Board fixed upon an average of 50 per cent. of all the questions, on which basis the entire class of thirty-seven suc- ceeded in passing. Eight of the candidates averaged 80 per cent. Three of them were country druggists and five graduates of the Michigan School of Pharmacy. The follow- ing is a list of the candidates: Hiram S. Barnabee, Mendon. Lew T. E. Bennett, Port Huron. Edward Blum, Ann Arbor. EF. E. Caulkins, Pontiac. A. B. Costerlin, Jackson. T. N. Cunningham, Detroit. Wm. Curlett, Dexter. H. P. Swell, Utica. t, S. Forbes, Detroit. Lewis Fullmer, Detroit. J. H.

(> o- —-- The Poison Question. The Georgia Legislature has enacted a law compellingfall druggists to keep poisons within scarlet wrappers. This seems to THE TRADESMAN to be a foolish provision, as the wrappers are easily lost or destroyed, after which there is greater liability to make mistakes than ever, owing to the fact that the dispenser will put a certain amount of reliance upon the wrappers and will not stop to examine the contents of bottles not so distinguished. A Boulder, Colo., physician purposes most feasible method of preventing mistakes in dispensing which Tur TRADESMAN has yet seen advanced. He suggests that all containérs of poisons be made of black glass, with roughened surfaces, like diamond | § shaped spots. The black color has a funer- al suggestion, and the roughened surface mint; spermacetti. Declined—-Nothing. Citrate and Quinine........-...-.. Solution mur., for tinctures......

THE FIRST STEP. The “Retail Grocers’ Association of Grand Rapids” an Assured Fact.

Harris was elected secretary, pro tem., and was asked to read ae ee a al pean . Fa a — the platform of the Muskegon Association. Four of the points contained therein were made a declaration of principles for the Grand Rapids organization, as follows: Prevention of wholesale houses selling at retail to private families. Keeping a black-list of ‘“‘Beats” who prey upon the trade, and a reliable Collection Agency for bad debts. To use our united efforts to have the pres- ent disgraceful nuisance of peddling and peddlers, put under proper restraints and a heavy license. To afford Farmers and Gardners who produce their own goods, an opportunity to sell the same without a license, in the Pub- lic Market of the City, but they shall not peddle any of their goods from house to house without a vendor's license. Chairman Herrick stated that with such objects in view an organization of the retail trade of this city could accomplish much | good to the trade at large. Referring to the practice of some jobbing houses of selling the consumer direct, he stated that he knew of several families who were buying their supplies inthat way. An organization could remedy such an abuse in short order. Jas. Brooks referred to the practice of some commission houses selling consumers a couple of dozen of eggs or a jar of butter. A. V. Chapman and W. E. Knox adyo- cated the establishment of a central market, similar to those maintained at Boston and Detroit, where farmers may dispose of their own products. On motion, the chair appointed the fol- lowing committee to drafta constitution and by-laws: Henry A. Hydorn, W. E. Knox, Eugene Richmond, B. 5. Harris, E. E. Walker and John A. Brummeler. The chairman was instructed to act as chairman of the committee. The meeting then adjourned until Tnes- | day evening, Noy. 10, at the same time and | place. The committee on constitution and by- laws met at Tue TRADESMAN Oflice Friday afternoon, and prepared a report, which is given below. It is printed entire, that all may know the exact wording of the draft before the meeting, and thus be prepared to make any amendments which may suggest themselves. The constitution and by-laws will be printed again next week as they will stand amended. CONSTITUTION. ARTICLE I—NAME.

Scott, alias “The Liliputian,” has opened a blacksmith shop on State street. Geo. B. Martindale, our hardware man, Bovee & Kelsey, our “hardwood” Jumber- man, A. T. Burnett, our ‘‘hard money” man, Shurtleff Bros., our “hard-working” men and N. G. Burtt, our “hardy” man swell their potato bins to the tune of from 500 to $00 bushels daily. D. W. Root, the baker, is tearing down and building larger. The hardwood lwnber firm of Bovee & Kelsey are preparing for a big cut the com- ing winter. C. B. Fenton, fancy goods dealer at Mack- inac Island, will open up a stock of dry goods here in exchange for Indian grass, bark and quill work for next season’s use on the Island. Geo. F. Owen, (too well-known,) cailed up one of our business men by telephone from Petoskey last week, and gave the in- strument to a young lady to receive the rep- rimand due him for past jokes. Geo. MecClellan’s meat market occupies the front store in the McSimon block. Overholt Bros.’s mill, Gill Bros.’ mill and B. C. Lark’s mill, situated from five to seven miles east and south-east of here will all be stocked with hardwood logs and the lumber drawn here by teams this winter. k. W. Monroe, of Clarenden, Pa., an ex- perienced mill man, takes charge of the large hardwood mill here this season. For a safe and profitable investment here, a chair factory would meet with more than ordinary encouragement, as hundreds of cords of hardwood that would not make A1 lumber could be used in the enterprise. Hartford. The hotel formerly known as the Rich- mond house has been purchased of the pro- prietor, Ralph Richmond, by E. A. Palmer, M. D., and is now undergoing repairs. It will be under the management of John McAltlis- ter, who recently run the Lake View at St. Joseph. There are ten apple buyers located here this fall. Holland City. Trade during the past week has been dull, the heavy rains being the cause, and the shipments of potatoes and apples are rapidly declining to what they wert a week ago. At that time, it took 1,000 empty barrels per day to equal the requirements for apple shipments alone. Aside from the rail ship- ments, three vessels are kept constantly busy transporting this staple alone. All our manufacturing establishments are running full time, and our large tanneries are more than busy. The force of men employed is larger than ever before, and all who under- stand the trade who apply for work find work. Great improvements are in order in this line, and our city will soon be called the ‘“tanbark town of Michigan.” The building boom will undoubtedly continue all winter. Foundations for many new buildings were laid again this week, among them one fora residence for the president of ope College on the college campus and a $10,000 church on the corner of Market and Ninth streets. A beautiful new college building will soon be erected on the college campus, to cost twenty thousand dollars. Macatawa Park, never thought of in winter, but visited by thousands during the heated term, will have more cottages erected than in its whole his- tory next year. Muskegon. J. &.

We are thinking of establishing an association here, and would like to look over your con- stitution.” Several dozen bushels of fine cranberries —large in size and rich in color—have been brought to this market from the marshes up the river. Several wild marshes are now be- ing cultivated by settlers in the vicinity of Twin Lake. Bareus Bros. will shortly put in a grinder and polisher, and engage in the manufacture of band saws of the most approved style. Frank L. Oreutt, who sold more bad eggs while in the commission business here than all the other dealers put together, is now keeping books for a Minneapolis commission firm. W. J. Kinney has sold his interest in the Simmons & Kinney Manufacturing Co. to W. D. Kelley. Mr. Kinney will en- gage in another manufacturing enterprise here. T. M. Lander, who was formerly engaged in the commission business here, but who has lately been engaged in the same business at Benton Harbor, under the firm name of Lander Bros., has bought his partner’s in- terest, and is now alone, The grocers are already beginning to see the good results of organization. Up to within a few weeks ago, the ordinance rela- tive to peddlers and buxsters had not been enforced; but concerted action on the part of the members of the Association is likely to bring about the reform of this abuse. Messrs. Torrent & Ducey own a large tract of timber land in’ the vicinity of St. Regis Lake, Franklin county, N. Y., which is a favorite locality with sportsmen from New York City. Several have erected camps and temporary abiding places on the bank of the lake, anda few days ago it occurred to them that it might be well to secure the permission of the owners, in order to avoid actions for trespass. Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune, was delegated to com- municate with Messrs. Torrent & Ducey, ong readily granted the privileges asked or. : Newaygo. The C. & W. M. Railway runs a log train every Sunday for the benefit of D. P. Clay, who is drawing his logs from Hess Lake and having them sawed in his mills at this place. pees During the coming winter, Henry D. Woodard will pet into thé Muskegon river about 1,000,000 feet of hemlock. ‘“Furg,” who represents’ J. H. Thompson & Co., of Detroit, and who always has a new scheme, has been ‘doing up” the trade here the past week. ; & ‘has had no difficulty in ss Pe ee ee river, and yet reports that not nearly as many logs will be put in this winter as last.

M. G. Sleezer’s new bowl factory is now up and enclosed. ‘The main building is 20x 30 feet in dimensions, with an engine room 21 feet square. Trufant. The sawmill of Hileman, Hessar & Co., of this place, has shut down inde“initely, hay- ing cut their last log on the 6th. The mill has run thirteen seasons and cut over 100,- 000,000 feet. Three Rivers. The Michigan Hoop Co., a new enterprise here, is now in active operation, turning out from 4,000 to 6,000 hoops perday. It is the intention of the company to double its present capacity another season. The coim- pany has the Michigan agency for the Campbell hoop machines and the Concord saw sharpener and knife grinder, and has ordered machinery for the manufacture of spokes and handles. Cadillac. Cadillae’s railroad prospects are growing brighter and the people are proportionately encouraged. The Cadillac end of the C. & N. E. R. R. is now being extended into the business por- tion of the city. The northern terminus will be at Lake City in a few days. Lewis Bellaire, of Vosberg & Bellaire, is now rusticating in Newaygo county. M. Greenbauer, formerly employed in M. toewer’s tailoring establishment, has gone into business for himself. Big Rapids. C. L. Bird is now proprietor of the meat market in the oldschool house building. R. A. Moore has sold his logging railroad, cars, horses and camp outfit to Mr. Cody, of the firm of Cody & Moore, and retires for the resent to take a rest. He has cleared $20,000 in the past two years. It is rumored that LaFora S. Baker is about selling the lumbering business at West Troy to the Osterhout & Fox Lumber Co., of Grand Rapids. George W. Crawford has suspended lum- bering operations at Otter, because the C. & W. M. Railway, which was to take his logs to Muskegon, has raised the rate. A. Sachen & Sons contemplate engaging in the clothing business at Grand Rapids next spring. Clark & Lacey have opened a saloon and bowling alley in the old Gleason saloon building. Lakeside. The small shoe stock on Lake street own- ed by O. Christensen ‘is to be moved, this week, into Johnson Bros’. new store puild- ing. The stock is to be enlarged. A. W. Fowler, who has been postmaster here since the office was first established, has resigned in favor of H. H. Whipple, who has bought Fowler’s stock of contec- tionery and stationery. If no difficulty oc- curs in appointing the new postmaster, the office will change hands next week. Almost the entire summer’s cutting of lumber on Muskegon lake is sold and await- ing shipment. Vessels and barges will be kept briskly at work until the close of nay- igation. Most of the mills will shut down this week for the season. There are no more logs in their booms and the main boom is closed. Lakeside is to have a poultry company. Blooded fowls and eggs for breeding will be supplied. —~- o 2 ’ wt . exceptionp! in that respect of any family in | Ives’, old style.......... betes iahivneus dis 69 | 1%. 2xts, choicC Charcoal Terne......... 14 00 the country.
