It was also! stated hi the motion that these negligektt dentists should be re quired, by the clerks ot the counties, to produce their certincatea. Dr. K. P.

Hfe dwelt mainly on the surgical correction of Irregularities. Several Interesting talks were made concerning Dr. Can's valuable paper. Antiseptics was the next subject an nounced. Of. E. P. Keerans read the following paper, which was considered one of the brightest and most thorough papers of the week. DR. KEERANS" PAPER. "Mr. President and Members of the Dental Association of North Carolina: "To me has been assigned the duty and privilega of presenting to you some views bearing? upon the present state of our knowledge of antiseptics. "The uuestfon of dental antisepsis has grown so rabidly during the past few 'years that itj Is quite Impossible to deal with the subject except in relation with Its general kirlnciples. So far as my knowledge nd experience lead me, I am satisfied- that a number of sub stances whih have been brought for ward and employed in this connection have no substantial claims to be consid ered as sucbi AS many of you know, it is only but eecently that competent ex perimental Inquiry by - bacteriologists has shown i that there are very few known substances which are absolutely to be depended upon as antiseptics in the proper meaning of the term. Such substances as carbolic acid, creosote, eucaliptus, peroxide of hydrogen, sali cylic acid, knd many of the essential oils, experience shows are in no way to be relied udon for antiseptic purposes. In fact, bidlorlde of mercury, so long vaunted as the Ideal antiseptic and ger- , micide, hasi been shown to be by no means as effective as thought. Experi ments madfe recently show that there are certain! species of bacteria which resist the hctlon of this powerful agent In th ordinary standard solution. "As you are aware, dentistry, as well as medicine and surgery, has long been seeking an i efficient, safe, and reliable antiseptic substance. That we have finally succeeded In discovering an agent thatj will fulfil these conditions I am now Convinced. "I desire to direct your attention In this connection to 'Fomalin,' (C H 2 O). That this i substance reaches the re quirements' of the mycroblde better than any other known agent. Is very general ly acknowledged. Its discovery dates back but a few years, and its valuable properties have only become recently known, it has an extraordinarily active mycrobicidb power, is comparatively non-poisonous, attacks only the sub stance of the contagious material, and is very readily employed under all cir cumstances, either as a liquid or gase ous form. (Even in the most dilute por tions, as afone-half per cent, solution, It is absolutely effective on mucous mem branes; inj .06 to .08 of 1 per cent, solu tion it is (the best possible as a local disinfeetive for the oral cavlties. "To Illustrate the details concerned in its application in preparation of Infective cavities before filling. I present the fol lowing as: my procedure in these cases. As contrasted with the usual steps ta ken with these and our former agents. you will be struck with the simplicity and brevity, and a few accessories em ployed lrt conjunction with fomalin, as compared with the older methods jn use. i "As a preliminary, all Instruments and other substances to be used in the case should be sterilized according to the ordinary methods. Beginning with clean instruments as a safeguard arainst j any infection which might come frdm this source, J would recom mend the entire oral cavity to be rinsed with dilute reroxlde of hydrogen. By this means we remove from the field of operation considerable food substances and organic matter, and thus cleanse in a measure the surroundings. It is no effort at real disinfection, but really at cleanliness. This being done, we Inject the cavity with concentrated solution of peroxide of hydrogen, which oxidises all putrescent materials and disorgan ized tissues. They are then removed entirely! by the ordinarily means. The next step is to employ the fomalin which we introduce in 20 per cent solu tion sufficient to nil the cavity. After five minutes it is then removed with ab sorbents and the canal is dried and is immediately filled with such substances as best; suits the case. When this sub stance land this method is employed we may ekpect absolute results and free dom from the subsequent effects of seP- sis. The details are few, the method short but safe and effective in every way. tit meets all the requirements of an antiseptic better than anything else, t can commend It to your atten tion fr trial with confidence tiiai u will find In it all you desire, it illus tratesiin a practical manner the subject which; was assigned to me, and I fiank you, gentlemen, for your p.tnitiou. ' Drsj Carr, Jones and others discussed Dr. Keeran's paper at length, and with fnuch spirit. Aftr this paper was passed over. Dr. CHasJ Green, formerly of Statesvtlle, now f New York, gave an interesting paper! on chemistry. Dr.) Green was voted the thanks of the association unanimously. He is a registered chemist and a licensed phy sician. The Society, before adjourning for the morning, voted thanks .to Drs. Keerans and Carr for their excellent papers.

On motion of Dr. Everett, it was agreed to pay the treasurer of Jhe so ciety a salary of $25 a year. The subject of the washing of teeth wasi taken up. and the general conclu sion was that Phillips' milk of mag nesia was the best wash. When voluntary papers were called for,!

E. : Becker, the world renowned Californlan who lowered the world's competition record for five miles to 9.5C (or every mile in leas than 2 minutes) has sent in his entry, and that of H. P. Stenson, another fast professional. Steensen hasn't the ' reputation of Becker, but he is nevertheless noted for his lightning-like 300-yard sprint, which has won him many a victory. More riders have entered for these races than ever before, necessitating In many races the running of heats. In ex planation of running a race In heats, let us suppose that twenty racers have en tered for the mile open. No track in the country would permit these men all starting at once, therefore five men will race at a time. The winner of each heat will meet the winners of the other heats in the final. The final will, of course, bring together the four fastest of the twenty men. This weeding-out process really gives the spectators five races, where only one appears on the programme. As this is rather hard on the boys, the heats are generally shorter than the regular scheduled race. For In stance, If the programme called- for one mile race, and there were too many riders to compete with sa'ety at one and the same time, then heats would" lie run of one-half mile only, to pick the owners for the final one mile race. The chairman of the L. A. W. racing board has notifleu T. T. Gilmer that he is to be official referee. MISS JUSKS. IJterary Ughta Do Her Honor ia W aaliiny- ton -Charlotte Will follow Suit. The Observer has already prepared the public for the exceptional treat In the coming of Miss Dora Duty Jones, and th delivering, here, of several lec tures by her. She spent some time in Washington In the winter. A friend from there, in a letter to the Observer, says: "I note with pleasure that Miss Dora Jones Is to deliver some lectures In your city. She ought to be a prophet of honor In her own State, for she Is high ly appreciated abroad. "At ur Washington Club, and at the Arundell Club; In Baltimore, two of the most exclusive and cultured of women's clubs, she has lectured to delighted au diences. "Among her most enthusiastic ad mirers are Thomas Nelson Page and F. Hopkinson Smith. Their estimate is of so much more value than mine that I need not add another line. I only write to beg you to Impress upon your people what a treat they have In store, else when it is too late they may deplore not having heard her tajes. Of course you know that she has studied art at its best European centres. "Prof. Bright, of the Johns Hopkins University, says, 'Miss Jones has an ex ceptional mastery of the art of speak ing, and that her freshness and inde pendence of Judgment and warmth of enthusiasm give to her message a true vitality.' This Is praise from Sir Hu bert, is it not?" YAK MKK'S CONVENTION. Aa Important Gathering of Mill Men Here To-Day. The convention of spinners to be held In this city to-day will be one of special Interest. The attendance will be large, as the yarn mills of this entire indus trial section are concerned. The life of more than one mill hangs on a thread. The object of the meeting to-day is to strengthen that thread. A caucus will be held at 11 o'clock at the city hall, where the convention -will hold its sessions. The following yarn manufacturers arrived last night: R. S. Reinhardt and A. M. Price, Lin oolnton; R. R. Ray, McAdensville; A. C. Miller and R. B. Miller. Shelby; D. M. Carpenter. Maiden; A. A. Shuford, Hickory: N. B.

Mr. Caesar Cone, tf Greensboro, president of the North Carolina Freight Association, will arrive this morning to attend the spinners' convention. He will throw some light on the freight question, which will be discussed by the convention. AT MRS. HARBINGER'S. The Cranford and Virginia Dare Meet Mrs, Cot ten. The Virginia Dare and C ran ford Clubs were charmingly entertained yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Rufus Barringer. a member of the former club. Mrs. Cotten was the guest of honor. At the request of Mrs. Barringer. she read her beautiful historic poem. "The White Doe," which was a treat to the literary spirits who form the member ship of the two most delightful aggre gations, who were in social convention assembled. The poem should be pub lished in book form and added to the historical treasures of the State. It is the story of Virginia Dare and Roanoke Island in blank verse, and la a gem. After the reading, refreshments were served. Mrs. Walter Brem and Miss Addie Williams were also included as club members for the occasion. Tbe 20th of May Kdltlon. The 20th of May special edition of the Observer will not profess to be any thing very immense. It will be Just double the size of the paper you are new reading, but a great many extra copies will be printed, and its es calation will be large. Of course in two papers of this size there wlli be a large amount, of reading matter enough for a book. But what 13 in tended now is no to exploit the paper but to say that It will afford a rare opportunity for advertisers to n-ing their wares before the public. Listen for the Chimes. The city was billed yesterday for the "Bells of Corneville," or Chimes of Nor mandy, the opera to be given Tuesday night by Mr. and Mrs. Bennett Griffin. Charlotte is always opera hungry, and as the one of Tuesday night will be first class In every respect, a large house, such as greeted "Our Boys" last night, may confidently be expected. The cast is a fine one. Everyone is in terested. The sale of seats will begin this morning at Jordan's. ' The Cfcadwica Prince The sword, belt and medal offered" by Mr. Cbadwick a prises in the military -contests during the 20th celebration were put on exhibition yesterday at Garibaldi & Brans; ' The sword is mounted In gold, and is very handsome.

CXMLOBKB- PEOPLE TO SEE TRX FAXB, Dr. Sanders Will Brteg His Stadents la : This Morning A Visit tm tfco Art Gallory WMany Fine Works of ArtIt Win Be raire Several Bays to Felly Take in the Beepeoc WoekJCxhiUtee. To-day wfil be Blddle University Day at the exposition, and the prospects are that the-colored race will fill the build ing day and night. - Dr. Sanders baa visited the building and expressed himself as surprised at the extent of the enterprise and the character of exhibits. -; It is expected that almost every stu dent in the college will attend. Char lotte -has a large colored population, a portion of which In enltared and capa ble of enjoying entertainments of the better character. - .r . -- The prospects are that on or two of the best pictures will be sold to colored citizens. ! " The admission remains the same, 2S cents, and will admit to every feature of the exposition, including "Sneaking the Home Ties,' which some people have supposed would be charged extra. The building will open as usual at 10 o'clock, and remain opes until 11 at night. This will give the working peo ple and their wives an oppor tunity to attend. It is hoped that employers will let their men off in time to visit the exposition before It closes at -night. Persons from the country will do well to go early and avoid the rush. The building will not be closed to white people, but they will be admitted as usual; THE ART EXHIBIT. The main feature of the exposition U the art gallery. Almost one balf of the main lloor has"been reserved for the art, and a majority the visitors t the exposi tion, wtvM art-loving uwinctq, mm naturally to the right and pass through the door which leads to scenes, faces and studies not to be found in any other ', part of the building. The arrangement of the art rooms was directed by Mrs. Kellogg and Air. Mahan, the hanging of the pictures by Miss Annie Rankin and Miss Mattie Dowd. Each picture is hung with a view to its lights and shadows, and each Is displayed to the very best ad vantage possible. The art gallery is highly creditable. It is by far the best display ever seen lh the State. Of course it Is not such an exhibition as was seen at the At lanta Exposition, or that will be seen at Nashville, for thoee exhibits oc cupied separate buildings, larger each than the entire exposition building here, but there are many beautiful specimens of art that would would be given an honored place In any exposi tion In the land. As one does not expect to take in the art exhibit in a day for the pictures require study to appreciate the good points and merits in style and color of each so the Observer must not be ex pected to paint them all at once in Its word-pictures of one issue. PICTURES. The rival pictures in size, art and in terest those before which connoisseurs and the critical public stand in groups are "Breaking the Home Ties," "Ser geant Tanoblay rescuing the colors of the Franco-German War," and "Shep herd's Lunch." -"Breaking the Home Ties" was seeji by many from this city and section at the World's Fair. It is wonderfully beautiful in Its natural ness, as well as execution. The subject Is one which appeals to the masses of the people. There may be finer works, of art to the eye of the skilled connois seur, but nine people out of ten will stop and stand before this picture, with an all-absorbing interest. "Breaking the Home Ties" is pre-eminently the exhibition picture of America. "Sergeant Tanobiay Rescuing the Colors" is the immense canvas loaned by Wanamaker for the exposition. It occupies the place of vantage in the whole building. The light falls in such a way as to bring out the figures, which are life-size, and if the frame could be hidden, one could easily imagine that the scene was actually transpiring be fore one's eyes. The picture is magni ficent in its life-likeness, and therefore In its executions. It is the largest pic ture ever exhibited jn Charlotte. The tnira rival in interest me "Shepherd's Lunch" occupies a good position on the east wall. It Is by G. S. Truesdell, ana by the lover of the pastoral, is considered the finest picture in the gallery. Truesdell excels in pastoral work, hut this is his chef d'ouevre. It Is valued at $2,000, and is the most high-priced picture in the exhibit, excepting, of course, the two mas-.er-pieces mentioned above, which are valued at thousands of dollars. "Home Ties' is valued at $50,000. "Shepherd's Lunch" is Mr. Mahan's favorite. Or. the south wall two beautiful faces and pictures are recalled at this mo ment "Sea Gulls," by F. 8. Church, and "A Greek Girl." by Chas.' Noel Flagg. "De gustibus non est disputandum can nowhere be more appropriately used than in an art exhibit. Tastes are varied. "The Sea Gulls" Is to many the gem of" the collection. The work hea-s close examination. It is beauti fully done. "A GREEK GIRL" A "Greek Girl" was painted by an old teacher of Miss Annie Rankin, and is one of the most beautiful pictures in the building. "The White Nun," by Beckwith. is a fine work of art. The pictures by Daingerfield are often asked for. as the artist has many friends in -this city. He has three pic tures on exhibition: "The Angels Came and Ministered I'n.o Him:" "And They Were Troubl ed," and "Grandfather Mountain." His school has many exponents in this sec tion. . "All Right" and "All Wrong, by J. (3. Brown, which were exhibited at the World's Fair, are. two of the cutest, as well as finest pictures to be seen. Brown's forte is the street Arab. The people will not let him paint anything ?ls. He portrays the street Arab with wonderful naturalness and genius. A picture on the east wall which apTeals to everyone in its beauty of sentiment, pose and execution. Is the "Mother and child.". The picture is sold. High up and to the right of the "Mother and Child." is the "Daughter if an Eastern King.- by Harold Mc Donalda sweet, lovely face, and fine. ie!lcate work. "Good Morning." "Swiss Pastoral. Wandering Homeward." "Geese at Sunset," and "Between the Grain Fields," by Truesdell, add their beauty -f design and finish to the art rooms. No 113 "The Coming Storm" bv R. LeGrand Johnston, will bear clcse inspection and study. It is one of the very best things catalogued. A very realistic picture to the New Yorker Is "Madison Square." by W. H. Chandler. It Is on the south wall. The portraits of Lee, jacKson ana Vance, are the pictures which speak to the patriotic heart. Chase's portrait of his mother Is one of his very best works. Love directed the brush, and lent Inspiration to ge ntus. The result is all that these God given forces could evolve. WATER COLORS. Turning from the oils, with their majesty of si and boldness of stroke. It Is a rest to the eye to dwell upon the dainty, beautiful pictures which cover the walls In the space allotted to water colors. The gem of the collection which Is a beautiful one is Rhoda Holmes Nichols" "Roses and Still Life." It hangs on the right hand side as you enter from the north side. This famous artist devotes herself almost entirely to water colors, and each and every one of her pictures is a beautiful study "A Birthday." by the same artist. Is perfect in execution. "A Descendant of Ham," by Joseph ine 8. Cowper, hi well worth looking at as a study in black. Be sure and search out "An Evening Glow in Portland," by Mary Alley NeaL The tone is lovely, being not a bit overdone. Mary Alley Neal K also one of the finest china artists in the coun try. Her work either in water colors or china ranks at the very head. Harry 1 Greaves' "Cathedral Woods" is a master-piece. The execu tion is perfect. It is one of the very best things in the exhibit. "In Still Waters" but it is time for the gallery to dose. More some other day.
