FOK POOR DRUGS
What a lot of money is added to the profits of
unscrupulous druggists who substitute for an ingredient called for
in a physician’s prescription, or who substitute a cheaper article
"just as good” when you call for some standard preparation.
Titled notables of England and
members of re'preaentRtlve.families in
this country assembled at St. Barthol
omew’s church, In Madison avenue,
Tuesday to witness the - marriage of
Vivten Gould, second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George Jay Gould, to Jehn
Graham Hope Horsley-Beresford, Lord
Decles.
Throngs of the curious gathered
early near St. Bartholomew’s to watch
the wedding guests, but police lines
were formed to prevent a repetition
of the dangerous crush that occurred
it the Drexel-Gould wedding last year,
when the police were bon led over and
the frightened bridal couple almost
mobbed by a street crowd.
Society Bom both sides of the At
lantic gathered in New York to attend
the nuptials. The holders*of 3,000 in-
vitations*crowded the edifice to over
flowing.
The church itself was redolent with
the perfumes of rare flowers. Green
and white was the color scheme.
Miss Edith Gouid, sister of the
bride, was the maid of honor. The
bridesmaids were the Misses Hope
Hamilton, Beatrice .ClafUn, Hannah
Randolph, of Philadelphia; Louise
Cromwell, of Washington, and Aldison
Pierce, of Oyster Bay. Two little
nephews of the bridegroom, Marcus
and Graham Beresford, as pages, car
ried the train of the bride’s, gown.
The Rev. Hr. Leighton Parks, rector
of the church, and Bishop David H.
Gf^br officiated.
DISASTROUS EXPLOSION.
Ten Men Killed In Powder Company’s
Plant in Michigan.
In one of the most disastrous ex
plosions ever occurring in upper Mich
igan, ten men met instant death at the
plant of the Pluto Powder company,
in the outskirts of Ishpeming. The
explosion took place in the gelatine
po'wder house. Every man in the
building was blown to piece.s.
What caused the explosion will
never he known. Gelatine powder is
largely composed of nitroglycerin, and
it is supm sed tnat the mixture was
being sfiried in the big erucible with
in the house, when the stuff let, go.
About 1,000 pounds exploded. Only
twenty minutes before the disaster
5,000 pounds of the explosive had been
removed, otherwise th.e havoc would
have been much greater

King George and Queen Mary in State
Procession.
King George and Queen Mary, for
the first time in their reign, proceeded
in state Monday from Buckingham
palace to Westminster, where his maj
esty read the speech formally opening
Parliament from (he throne in the
House of Lords. During the ceremony
the-Queen was seated at the side of
the King.
Though the day was dark and cloudy
an immense, throng was gathered in
St. James Park and in Whitehall,
where the gorgeous procession passed.
Other thousands surrounded the Par
liamentary building.
Their-majesties rode in the gilded
state coach drawn by eight cream col
ored horses caparisoned in gold and
purple. The King wore a field mar
shal’s uniform.
As the royal party passed the cheer
ing was unusually hearty, as it was
the first opportunity that the popu
lace has had to express its gratifica
tion over the vindicati >n of King
George in the recent libel suit against
"Edward Mylius.

Disappearance of Miss Arnold Mystery
to Alleged Lover.
George S. GTiscom, Jr., of Pittsburg,
Pa., whose acquauitancfe and corre
spondence with Miss Dorothy Arnold
brought his name into print in con
nection with the two months’ search
for her, arrived at New York from
Italy on the North German Lloyd
steamer Berlin.
“The case is as much of a myste’ry
as ever to me,” said Griscom to re
porters, “but it is. I may say frankly,
part of^my purpose in coming home to
offer what assistance I can to the Ar
nold family. I haven't trie slightest
.theory regarding Miss Arnold’s disap
pearance.”
He did, however, scout the beliel

Southern Claimant* May Get Chanc«
at Big Fund.
Tho house has adopted an amend
ment to the codification nlll, which, if
ratified by the senate and approved tyF
the ^president, will extend the provis
ions of the captured and abandoned
property act of March 12. 1863, aTld
permit claims to be brought for some
310,000,000 collected under that act,
which still remains in the federal
treasury.
The adoption of this amendment by
a vote of 125 to 85 was a victory for
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
who introdued and urged it in ft
strong spee'ch.
Not only are the provisions of the
act of 1863, formerly limited in its op
erations to two years, made to apply
to suits which may hereafter be
brought in the court of claims, hut the
former requirement that the claimant
must prove “loyalty” is stricken.
Representative Bartlett, in his state
ment. to the house, said that the pro
ceeds from the sale of captured cot
ton;’amounting to $1,695,000, and from
other property to the value of $5,00 ),-
000, eonveited into the treasury und ;r
this act, remain on deposit. He ar
gued that this money should be dis
bursed to the original claimants or
their descendants.

TARIFF BOARD FAVORED,
pemooratlc Members Opposed Bill
Passed by House,
By a strict party vote, all of the
democrats In opposition, the senate
Committee on finance voted, to report
favorably the bill passed by the house
to create a permanent tariff board.
Several important amendments wire
adopted.
The opposition of the democrats on
the committee was based on the plea
thatnhe executive stTffuld not be em
powered to gather tariff informatio'n;
that this function belongs to congress,
and that if a commission is desired,
U should be a congressional*body, sim
ilar te the national monetary commis
sion. ,
One of the most importtmt changes
made by the'committee requires that
the five members, of the board sTTall
be confirmed by the senate. Under the
house bill, the executive would have
absolute control of the personnel.
UndeT an amendment adopted, the
board will not bte requierd to divulge
the names of toforriknt or witnesses
furnishing Information, but the pro-
in that Information gathered jnust
use was eliminated.
Now is the time to set them for early spring heading. You
can get the FROST PROOF plants, all the standard varieties, at $1.25
per 1,000; 7,000 and over at $1.00 per 1000.
