inent manufacturers Indorsed the plan
and agreed to abide by It.
A motion to pay the chairman of the
executive committee was withdrawn
after its author had, as he said, suc
ceeded In drawing the attention of the
convention to the value of the services

no change be made In annual dues.
The committee-on form of organiza
tion recommended a number of changes
in the constitution atflT by-laws. These
provide for an official auditor to be
paid by the association. The amend
ments were Indorsed to be Anally
adopted at the next convention.
Dr. Muir, of New York, moved that
a salary of $1,000 a year be paid the
chairman of the executive committee.
ThlH was opposed by others, who urged
that the chairman would desire no sal
ary for his services. Dr. Muir deliv
ered an argument In favor of a salary
for the chairman, whose expenses were
necessarily great. He amended his
motion to ask for an appropriation of
$1,000 a year to cover expenses. The
motion was Anally withdrawn.
f'ertlAeates of membership were dis
tributed among the delegates In order
that votes for the election of oAlcers
might be prepared.
Mr. Beardsley, of the Miles Medical
Company, addressed the convention.
He stated that the direct contract serial
number system was working satisfac
torily with his Arm. It had brought a
healthy Increase In the trade. He stut-
ed, however, that until the decision
of the. suit before the United States
court Is heard, It would be foolish Tor
proprietors to take up the contract
system, and this was the reason the
plan had not been given greater sup
port.
V. Mott Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y„ pro
prietor of the famous Pierce remedies,
addressed the meeting.
A telegram from Dr. Munyon was
read. The doctor says he will take up
the contract plan.

stores Friday afternoon from 2 o'clock
to 5 In order thnt the heads and as
sistants may attend the barbecue

STRANGE MEMORANDA
A young white man, giving his name of three boxes, Vhlle the cross on the
DANGLING FROM A BALLOON
MAN SAVES HIS OWN LIFE
Rending, Pa., Oct. 4.—When the bal
loon of Aeronaut La Rue shot up from
the fair grounds, a cry of horror came
from the great crowd of spectators, and
a number of women fainted. A rope
had encircled the feet of Jacob Geh-
rlng, a farmer of Hummellstown, and
he was carried up, dangling head down
ward.
Oehrlng, nfter many efforts, man
aged to catch the rope above his feet.
At a height of 1,000 feet? breathless and
his hands bleeding, he crawled Into the
car. LaRue descended In hlH para
chute nnd Oehrlng was carried 2 miles
before he found the valve cord nnd de
scended. He was unhurt.
ns Fred Cain and his home as Chatta
nooga, was arrested about 2 o’clock
Thursday morning by Policemen Pear
son and Hood In Fast Pine street, and,
when searched, a number of suspicious
articles were found In his pockets.
Cain had on a pair of rubber-soled
shoes, which deadened the sound of
his walking. At the time of his ar
rest he was on the sldewnlk In East
Pine street. The officers found In his
pocket a letter, belleved.to.be from
his mother, advising him to He low
and not to let anybody know his where
abouts.
Another circumstance that causes
the police to regard the young man
with suspicion was the Andlng of the
photograph of a house, a residence,
and also a memorandum book, making
certain references to this house. Two
porches are shown In the picture and
each Is marked by a eross. In the
memorandum book appears an entry
explaining that the porch marked by
one of the crosses Is the hiding place
other porch marks the hiding place of
two additional boxes.
Where this house of mystery Is lo
cated nnd what Is contained In the
five boxes Is not stated, but Is some
thing the police would like very much
to ascertain.
In another pocket was found a num
ber of 45 calibre cartridges, but no
pistol was found.
Three bottles of Ink and some other
drawings, which are n puzzle to the
police, were also confiscated.
After examining this strange out At,
OAlcers Pearson ami Hood were con
vlnced that Tain was up to no good
And that he Is probably wanted
some other city for crime. He was
then handcuATed and sent to the police
station.
He will be held pending a thorough
Investigation. He was very reticent
nnd gave the police but little informa
tlon concerning himself. He stated
thnt he boarded at 356 North Jackson
street and that when arrested he w
out for the purpose of selling papers.

a resolution calling for the election of
an executive committee which should
be more In harmony with the needs of

Judge Joseph Errant, of Chicago,
uhmltteil a report on the suits brought
In Indianapolis under the Sherman
anti-trust law by which it was sought
to allow that all nets of the druggists’
association were Illegal and In restraint
of trade. Judge Errant said the de
cision of the c ourt would not affect the
National Association of Retail Drug
gists. for the association was hound t<>

the law so as not to Interfere with the
work of the association.

Druggists’ Fire Insurance Company,
explained the plan and workings of hl.s
company, saying that he could reduce

Judge Errant extended an Invitation
on the part of Chicago. All three In
vitations were referred to the execu
tive committee. The night session was
given over to a discussion of resolu
tions before the Committee. The ad
visability of requiring a college diplo
ma as an essential for a pharmacist’s
certificate was discussed pro and con,
and the sentiment of the meeting was
against restricting pharmacist* to,
those fortunate enough to have taken
a f oitege course. The resolutions com
mittee will be largely guided by the
sentiment of the open meeting in pass
ing on the resolutions.
Kief, Oct. 4.—Throughout the city there Is fear that another Jewish
massacre Is at hand. Many Jeu*s have fled, those remaining being In a
state of panic day nnd night. The situation is believed to be ready for the

STORY HOUR AT LIBRARY
TO BE RESUMED FRIDA Y
t >nce upon a time, not so many years
ago, There was a very beautiful town,
known throughout the fertile country
In which It was sltuuted as the Gate
city. And In the center of this hur
rying, bustling city was a large house
nil built of stone which held books of
great value and a room w’here hun
dreds of children would gather and
listen to the stories told by a beautiful
lady who, with her love and kindness,
could hold the children's attention for
many hours at a time.
Once every week the children would
flock to the room they called their own
and would there listen to the beautiful
stories about strange lands and strange
people. For some time this continued
until at last the summer took many of
the children out of the city to the
mountains and to the seashore. So the
teacher and the stories, though not for
gotten, were left In the big city.
But after a short tlm*e the children
k came back to the city and It was then
decided again to open the children’s
room and so the following notice was
*»ent out:
Story Hour at tha Library.
’’The children of Atlanta will wel
come the announcement of a story hour
at the library tomorrow, Friday, after
noon, at 3:30 o'clock.
’’This will be the first story hour
since June, and many Jlttle people have
missed this weekly pleasure during the
summer months.
"We welcome to these happy gather
ings all of Atlanta’s children, so many
of whom already love their story hour.”
Before the worm pleasant days of
summer came Aflss Henrietta Masse-
ling, the one who told the stories, gave
accounts of the children In far off
t’hlna and told of other countries. Af
ter the return of the children It was
decided to tell all about great King
Arthur, who was a very gracious king,
written about by many men and told
about by many people. So nil the chil
dren who again will gather fn the'chil
dren's room will hear about the
knights of the round table and how
they shivered their lances and how
they wooed their fair ladles.
Mrs. Platt Furious When
Told Senator Doesn’t
Want Conference.
New York, Oct. 4.—Mrs. Thomaa C.
Platt, In a determined and belligerent
inood, left the Platt summer place at
Highland Mills, N. Y., today and start
ed for New York to see her husband,
the senator, in spite of the efforts of
his family to keep him from her.
Mrs. Plate, guarded by Erie railroad
officials, so that she wur. able to slip
from the train at the Jersey City depot
almost unobserved to the ferry, went
directly to the Hotel Got.'e.n-,. when
she arrived In New York, det*rmlned
to see her husband, the senator.
Meanwhile the aged senator had left
the Gotham accompanied by his son '
und eluded his irate wife, by going di
rectly to his office at No. 49 Broad
way.
New York, Oct. 4.—It developed to
day that the failure of Senator T. C.
Platt and his wife to meet at the Ho
tel Gotham, In pursuance of the an
nouncement made by Mrs. Platt, waa
due to a decision reached by the sena
tor at the eleventh hour, upon advice
of his son, Frank H. Platt, that ha
would not see her..
With the aid of a friend, who com
municated with the senator through
one of his secretaries, Mrs. Platt be
sought him to give her a private au- *
dlence at the hotel, but an emphatic
”no” was returned, by the senator. At
hts side was his son, who did not leave
hint for a minute.
Mrs. Platt was furious, and then
announced that she had changed her
mind, and would not leave Highland
Mills for New York until today. She
asserts, however, that she will tee the
senator today.
