A DRUGGISTS' SENSATION HO.HETHIMU NOT DOWN ON THK UKUIX4H riiOURAM. Ltvel lucldcnt AITbe Moruluy; NcHHlon Paaaea Quickly And All la Now Serene carrlase Ride To Vaudrrbllt'a. One of the fentunsof tbc tnrilT law ccnlly enacted by Congre s hud the effect ot stimuli 1 a lively sensation in drug circles, nrnl the druggists now tn session at the Battery Pork have taken shy at it to sec what cun be done about it. It is claimed that there is danger of the drug business being ragged down to the level of the corner loon unless something is done to pre vent. In the new tariff bill there is a provi sion which rxemptB from internal reveuue taxation alcohol that is used for medici nal purposes and in the arts. This means saving ot $1.10 on every ganon, as that is the amount ol the internal reve nue tnx and the purpose of the legisla tion wns more especially to help the druggists in furnishing medicines to the sick at as low prices as possible. The druggists were anxious for some such law, but tlicy suy that, as it now stands, there is nothing" to prevent the promis cuous dealing out of alcohol, slightly dis- uised. by unprincipled druggists nt prices that would be about half as high us saloon keepers are forced by the reve nue tax to charge for their drinks. The restrictions were lett to the hecrc- tary ol the treasuiy and it is learned by the druggists that this official is perlcctly at sea as to what restrictions should be placed around the business by the inter nal revenue department. Thev declare that there would lie great dillicultv in guarding the use of ulcohol for legitimate purpos: s lor uie ueneui 01 wmcn me law was meant. i incmncr saw on wns Doint: With alcohol selling at ;s--.'U o gallon the remission ol the tax of $1.10 would tit the mice in half. It will not be hurd to disguise the drug with a bit of mo asses or ginger, or something else and there would he treat danger ol a pro miscuous handing out of 'hitters' nnd such things under guise ol 'medicinal purposes,' the price being cheap enough to make rrohtuwc competition wiiu sa loons." The association appreciated the situa ion and appointed u special committee to voice the views ot t lie bod v ana report them so thev could Ik lorwnrded to the Secretary of the treasury, that they may be a guide to him to a great extent. This committee was composed ol c. h. N Halbcrc of Chicago, II. M. Whitney ot Lawrence, Mass., and Lha. li. Iioiuue of Baltimore. Its report was made at this morning's session and precipitated a lively scene. This cuts down the concessions very materially nnd some of the delegates were disposed to scrap about it. 1 lie result ol a motion to ndott it was storm of a violent mil tire that would not be subdued lor sonic time Some ol the druggists were inclined to think that alter fighting for free alcohol tor 20 years they should uot go to work and demand such restrictions, now that the law is pa-sen They claimed that the general remission of the tux would make it possible for them to increase their profits, as nlcoho ntcrs into a large percentage ot the L'oods handled in a drug store, hut on the other hand it was argued that in cutters of prices would get in their work ind reduce the probtg in proportion to the reduction caused by the remission i the tnx. The mioiui uursiw. So violent was the opposition to the adoption of the report that Chairman Ualberg jumped to his fret while some body else hud the floor and started to ex plain. He was quickly ruled out of order over and over, but thut did not bother him and he kept shouting at the top ol his voice, trying to say what he wanted to while Chairmun Scabury was trying to force him down. It all appeared good naturcd even when there wus a call l i the scrgeaiit-at-urms by the chair, hut in second a new clement wus tntcijectctl. Mr. Chairman," shouted W. Thompson of Washington, lumping to his feet, "I rise to a point ol personal privilege. We have been bulldozed long enough by that gentleman," pointing his linger nt Halberg. "He deties all the rules mid 1 move that hcbeexptllcd from llui association." "Sj do I." shouted Halberg defiantly ml nt the same time it was noticeable he did not sit down. There was a lively ripple at tins, but in a few moments things quieted down Mr. Thompson asked leave to withdraw his motion and have it "expunged from the records," and things went on just as they do in Congress when such an uici. dent occurs. I'rot. Halberg was chairman ol the committee, nnd he is one ot those de termined men who will not be downed when he (eels that there is a chance to achieve something by fighting. The re port that he presented was a suggestion to place tight restrictions on the questi m. It orovided that tncpny-nent oi a rcuate be conlined to aiconoi useu in uie man- ufucture of compounds in which alcoho is so chanced as to lose absolutely its c :cm en and physical properties, inciuu ing tbc classes ot cliemicai compounus known as ethers, ciuorai nnacnioroiorm, An attempt to substitute for this re nnet n resolution to simply send a com mittec to Washington was lost by a big vote, laviiit! tbc substitute on the tuble It was insisted that according to parlia mentary law. the tabling of the substi tute involved the tabling ol the original report also, but the chair mudc a unique rulimr that prevented this. "I know it ought to take the originn renort" snid Mr. Scahury, quickly, "hut it don't in this case," and amidst wild applause, it did not, nnd the original re port was adopted with an addition imik ma it inelude the manufacture of "ulka loids and such chemicals as may be spec ified bv the Secretary of the treasury."

The v 're Considered Bv Tbe Sec tion on commercial Inlerea'a A large part of this morning's Bcclion on commercial iulerist wus taken up with a discussion of patent medicines iu connection with the cutting of prices. L.uiui urKuuiuwuiis .iiiu uiucr means ui prevention were debuted on and it was finally proposed by a delegate to endorse the declaration ol principles of the Inter state League of Druggists, a combina tion to prevent cutting prices. This declaration was read und provided for a boycott of manufacturers or agents whose proprietary articles gel in to the hands of price cutters. This was endorsed after it was ex plained that such action would not biud members of the association further than being an expression of opinion. When hud been parsed somebody proposed hat the rate cutters be given n chance o suv something and hecallcd on Robin son of Memphis and :ii-'itjs of Atlanta to explain. Robinson was defiant and he very bluntly declared that he was a rule cut ter and would continue to be, while Ja cobs simply asked where a man could be tound who did not do some cutting. 1 be hair dismissed this as a casuistical ucstion, and ou tuking n vote he dt- lared that the ayes had it without giv- the opposition n chance to vote at II. This raised u protest and the noes ere culled, hut they wire two wean to hange the result. TO VINDLKUILT'S Ucautrou Scenery Unfolded lo The viHlio-a. The druggists indulged in nature's own dust and s.'encry to their hearts' con tent yesterday afternoon when loO ol them nnd their wives und daughteis vis ited the Vanderbilt estate as the gtusts f the citizens' committee on entcituit.- mcnt, and they arc unanimous iu agrcc- ng that such scenery more than makes p for three times the amount of dust they encountered. Their trip was a tic ghtful one nnd not a man nor a woman felt culled upon to complain when the dust gave the party the appearance of being uniformly dressed in brown clothes which It did in uu incredibly snort tune. All but two out ol the 50 carriages went the wrong way when the trip liom the Battery I'urk hotel to Biltmore was being made, the schedule mapped out calling for a diive to Conuully's and the Oakland Heights. I he drivers insisted on DtiinB straight to the station with tlll'ir IOUI1S, UUt tile visitors wvieouiun ol sicnery that they did not know the trio had been cut short till they were told. The trip from Biltmore station was made by n train of three cars on Mr. Vanderbilt s private railway, the cars were furnished by the Southern railway and although it wns understood by the committee thut they were offered as courtesy by the railroad company there wasademuuil attneiasi moment lor pay lor their use. This demand came in the shape of n telegram from the passenger agent at Washington which said that $;")() must be had before the train moved riiecommittic was angrv. but the SoO wus uaid. as there was no way out of it.

The "rii'utUv Thirteen" Huh No Terror lur Illm. W.J. Simpson, the Raleigh tlruggist who became president ot the American as-ocintion yesterday by force of circum stance its expressed in the votes of his peers, is confident that lie is a victim or otherwise of the fated nuin'ier l.'l. There is n book at the secretary's office ut the Untterv I'urk hotel on which nlltlicdriig gists rcgist crtheir name as soon as they reach the citv, and the lines arc consecu tively numbered so that when a man reg isters he is numbered and tagged lor the rest of his stav. It came Mr Simpson's way to be iiuiiiIkt 13 on registering and his friends shook their heads wisely nnd agreed that h s boom for the presidency of the association was sadly disturbed hvthis fact. Simpson pulled his whiskers though, and told them to wait, and when he was elected he swore up und down that he would always be number Kl alter that, wherever he went. He says it's all u mistake to be afraid of the number, al though he confesses he was a bit nervous about it till niter the election settled tilings. A big badge ot green cardboard with a graceful 13 on it has been pre sented to the new president by the citi zens' committee because ol the turn his luck took.

In entertaining his friends and fellow druggists Mr. Miller wus given nssis - uncc that was by no means overshad owed by bis own work, by Miss Alum Dohuie of Baltimore.
