From the London Leader. Although the outside world knows but little about it, there are some hundreds of women who spend their working hours in mixing drugs and dispensing medicines. Some have passed on and become chem ists. the first woman chemist in London having qualified as hong ago as 1875. But there are many who are simply dispens ers in the dispensing rooms of the large hospitals, or helping private doctors, or employed by the large dispensing chem ists and in the laboratories of large dye ing and chemical works. To a great ex tent these women are the daughters of medical men. for the fact that the portals of this profession were open and. com paratively speaking, were easy for women to enter, has hardly been realized until lately by others. For the truly ambitious woman whose thoughts turn in the direction of medi cine dispensing is. but a stepping-stone that lf*ads her on to become a full-blown doctor. “In fact.” said Dr. Farrar of the School of Pharmacy for Ladies, when speaking w‘h a Leader corresrondent on tHi;- sub w.

JUNE 14, 1000. jc'-t, “it is being recognized that women make better dispensers than men—” “Better?” “Oh. yes, decidedly much better. Women arc neater, and they take up the' profes sion more as a life work; they ore more earnest about it. Men who have failed in their exam.-, fall back upon dispensing, but women go in for it, and you know women are naturally much more careful in tittle things, 4hey are more accurate; this is no doubt why they got on so well in this profession. They are so much neater than men are; you go into a man’s dispensary after a busy morning, perhaps after a rush, and you wouldn't be able to find a thing—he wouldn’t himself—not a thing; but if it is a woman who does the dispensing you will soon see the differ ence. Every bottle wall be in its place, everything mat, spick and span, and ready for use in *a moment. No time is wasted there in a glorious hunt around for <he simplest/thing. “A day never passes,’’ continued Dr. Fa v rar. “but I r?ce'.ve from llrec to half a dozen let'ors from do tors in all parts of tho 4 ounlry asking for women dis pensers.

There are a!ready sev eral women in London who have their own chemist shops. Then, if a woman likes to go on working, while holding some g< od post as dispenser, she can study up at the school of medicine and become a qualified doctor. The disperser herself has a standard in the medi cine profession. "(Chemistry? No. if anything, I prefer students who have no previous knowledge of chemistry, because the chemistry they acc.u’re at school is of no use. for dis persing.

Stability in tlsc* Tenure of Office Has Its I)inn<lv]i iitnKfA. From the Washington Star. I am convinced that There ate not as many transfers in the departments as there could be and should be for the bene fit of the public service.” observed an offi-* cial who has hod many years of exper ience in departmental lif* to a S ar re porter. “and lam rather suip ised in re gard to it. Before the civil service l<w went into effect each department was run. as it were, as an independent concern, anl a transfer from one to another was a matter of favor and often attended with considerable difficulty. Indeed, it f.cqu ni ly took months to unwind the red tape that wound itself up in the proce s, and as a result it discouraged many w ho oth erwise would desire a transfer. Ur.fier ex isting law the favor part is eliminated to a great extent, and a clerk in the depart ment classified service has a right o a transfer, provided, of cours . -omenne else In another department is willing o exchange. Indeed transfer ran be mode under the law without the consent of hose who are transferred by the heads of the departments, though I have never known of sqph a thing being done. It often improx’es a clerk to sive him or her the benefit of a transfeq Shake ups are frequent enough in private busi ness as far as employes are corcernfd though for some reason the same thing is rarely taken advantage of by the gov ernment. I have in mind now txvo ca ei where transfer is about the only ?hlng ihat I know of that will save the clerks. Both of them, one a lady, are and have been for years good clerks*But amehow circumstances, conditions, environment, or call it luck if you will have it that way, have seemed to run against them, and it will not be long before both will have to ‘drop out of the service, s-impl.v because they are not performing any very valuable service for the salary they receive. Both have been good clerks in the r day, and there is plenty of material in them to run for ten or fifteen years yet. The trouble is they are a misfit. They dent suit their surroundings. Here is whoie transfer could make pool clerks out of material which is now misfit. In any eth er department than the one they are in now their services would be valuable. 1 have rarely known of transfers where not only the. departments, but Ihe indi viduals themselves, were not benefited. This is the experience of many others, and under the cs I nm some what surprised at the lack of applican s for transfer. The framers of the civil s r viee law regarded the provision for tians fer as a valuable safety valve.” TORE I l REAL MONEY. Reckless Tailor llorrlllcs lluhituen of it Broadway Saloon. From the New York Journal. A wild-eyed man with baggy trousers and a cutaway coat horrified a Broadwby crowd yesterday by tearing up real mon ey in the Hofbrau saloon, at Thirtieth street. He said he was William J. Cole man. n tailor, of No. 028 Broadway. Colem in went into the saloon. iyid after vainly trying for a foot rail where there was none, took t fresh clutch cn the l-or arid invited the house ro linxo a drink Ordlnari!> a suggestion of this kind will almost provoke n riot on the Rialto, but on this occasion it did not seem apparent that the host could back up hit* bid with a cash payment. So the habitues declined, someone remarking that he preferred to pay for his own drinks. “Ho! Think I aim got any money?” Lfarfd Cplemaa. With ihla be whipped out of his inside pocket a roll of bank notes as btr around as a tomato cait. “■What do I care, for money?” he yelled. He peeled a yellcw S2O bfd from the top. and putting the roll under his arm, tore the hill into bits. The crowd laughed. “Only stage money,” they said. Then one or them picked ur> up a scrap. “Stage money! Ye. gods, it’s real!” * Money! What do I care Tor money?” yelled Coleman. He peeled off a few’ more bills, tore them into scraps and tossed them in the air. Tnen he pulled out a gold watch, slung it on the tiles, and went on teoring up more money. He had torn up about SICO, when the police arrived, and he was dragged off *o the Thirtieth-street station. In his pockets S4OO was found. CAMPAIGN LITERATURE. Hott It Is Circulated by the Million Pieces Through the Via 11. L. A. Coolidge In Ains’.ee’s Magazine. It has been 6aid that ihe distribution of literature has come to be about the most important feature of a national commit tee's work. This phase of campaigning has reached truly colossal proportions. The head of the literary bureau of a national Committee must be a man or' rare judg ment, of varied resources and of unusual executive ability. The head of the repub lican liierary bureau in 1806 was Perry S. Heath, now assistant Postmaster General. The head of the Democratic bureau was Daniel McConville of Ohio. Documents were sent out from both headquarters by the ton. The Republican Committee dis tributed over 160.000,000 pieces of “litera ture.” Over 16,000 packages were sent by freight or express, and over 130 carloads of primed mauer. In the shipping depart ment alone. 275 people were employed. The distribution by the Democratic Commit tee was almost equally as largo. The work has been reduced to a science. Each com mittee has lisis of voters which are* fur nished originally by the various local com mittees in state? and congressional #dis tricts, arid these lists arc so arranged that so far as possible, just the right kind of document will be sent to each voter, and just the right kind of argument will be presented to each mind. The Republican and Democratic National Committees to 'day each have at least 3.0C0.0(W names on their lists. By far the largesi proportion of documents distributed are speeches in Congress, which go out under congress ional franks, thus reducing immensely the expenditures for postage. Of such great advantage is this that in the congressional session immediately preceding"a presiden tial campaign, many speeches arc made chiefly with a view *o their distribution. Entire books have been inserted in the Congressional Record in this way. In a recent Congress “Tom" Johnson, the mill ionaire congressman from Ohio, printed as a part of his speech Henry George's book on “Progress and Poverty,” and this xves sent out by ihe hundreds of thousands under congressional franks. Of course the National Committees have to bear the ex pense of paper and printing. This class of documents is far from com prising all that go out. The literary bu reau of a national committee is a great workshop. The Republican Committee in ISSB employed twenty-seven writers, most of them specialists on the tariff, on cur rency and on other topics of a political nature, and these men were kept busy at headquarters constantly preparing timely material os the occasion might demand. Much of this work was sent out through ihe newspapers, and three or four columns of matter for this purpose were prepared every day. Statements, cards, explana tions, interviews were distributed to tlie press in the guise of news. One of the rooms at headquarters was lined with books of reference, and two or three men were kept busy a 1 the time responding to telegrams from all over the ebuntry ask ing for information on all sorts of ques tions. A speaker assigned to talk in a given town would pick up the local oppo sition paper on his arrival, and find a stotement about the tariff or about the currency which he thought he ought ro re fer to on the platform that night. He would telegraph promptly to headquarters for exact information, and within an hour or two he would receive a reply telling him exactly how he could meet the point which had been raised. Similar inquiries would come daily from editors of news papers in remote districts which lacked reference facilities of their own. The press bureau was a highly important ad* junct to the liierary department. Over 12.006 were furnished with plate matter, patent insides and occasional editorials. Bulletins were sent daily by telegraph ai the expense of the commit tee to 100 morning newspapers and to 150 afternoon prints. These bulletins ranged all the way from 100 to 300 words in length. There were special departments for al most every conceivable class of popula tion. Men were kept busy preparing doc uments in German. Swedish, Danish, Polish and Hebrew, which were to be sent to localities where any one of these lan guages happened to prevail. There was a colored bureau which had charge of all questions relating to the cblored vote, sending out literature to convince the, ne gro that his interest lay in continuing to support the Republican party. There was a woman's bureau under the, charge of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who had fifteen wo men in her department preparing for dis tribution literature calculated to affect favorably the feminine mind. For it is recognized by the politicians that, although there are few states where women are al low’ed to vote, there is not one in which they do net exercise a great and some times decisive influence upon the ballot. There were departments to look after com mercial travelers, bicycles, savings insti tutions and life insurance companies. Tlie I iiluckinenM of Lilac. From ihe London Express. There are many superstitious fancies about the flowers that blossom in May. The proverbial of this month has on three or four g- nerati ns of flowers that flourish in Maytlmd A branch of blackthorn, a sprig of May, and a bunch of lilac form a trio of unlucky flowers. Blackthorn and May are said to pro duce illness. But lilac Is the flower which is fatal to love affairs. Though th so nt is so sweet and lilac ifi its so fresh and becoming, country gi Is rarely wear this flower as a buttonhole. “She who wears lilac will never wear a wedding ring.” runs an old proverb. A boutonniere of lila*' is paid for dearly by solitary spinsterheod. The village maiden le’s Ihe lilac bush severely alone. For the S9ire r ason rustic wlsewom n— with mariiigeahle daughters—never al low a jug of the sweet-smelling blossom inside the house. They decorate the outside windowsill with it. But “there’s no love luck about the heuse” w’hich contains lilac. Londoners are not superstitious, and they gather the Ilia*- which grow so pro fusedly iti city and suburban gardens with a lightsome ignorance of the unluck iness in love this charming flower con fers. Village people cannot understand why “clever London folk" know’ nothing of the tradition# of ill-luck the lila *. To give your sweetheart a sprig of this flower is a sure way to hr ak th-* eng.ige ment White lilac Is said not to be so un lucky in affalts of the heart as the mauve. But neither should be presented to a lover. It is suprosed to prove as fatal tx love as nn cpal ring. It will comfort the wearers of lilac millinery—and what is more lovely than a toque of these white and purple blossoms?—to know love laughs at artificial lilac. It is only the real tree-grown flower that comes between a lover and hi* lass. Stony-hearted bachelors have been known to snort a lilac buttonhole as a charm acainst feminine blandishments. No doubt all the sentimental #up?r*Yl tions c'nneoted with May flowers spr ng from the same source ,is the rooted b'- II f that marriages in May always turn out badly. —Nlcasio Eatrada y Mora, w'ho has been appointed by Gen.

Action of n Jacksonville Honse in Buying to Fill Contracts Kept the Market at 4-4—Total bales Said to Have Been Nearly t asks—No Receipt* and No Sale* at Cotton ExcliaiiKe Yenterda > —Dealctrs in Builders Supplies Pleased Outlook for Resumption of Build ing Operations. Business was rather quiet yesterday in the local markets, with the exception of the naval stores people, who had a wind fall in the opera lions ot a Jacksonville house, which nee U4I about -,CCO casks- of spirits to fill contracts which it had sold in this market. , The spirits market had ope nod nominal ly firm 43*2, but the movements of the Jacksonville concern rapidly brought the price to 44 cents, the figure of the day before. At this figure sales of 903 casks were reported at the closing, though it is understood that fully a? many more were sold which were not reported. This af forded the factors some relief for their accumulated stocks, which were bxoning too large to be comfortable. With no prospect of any further wind fall of this rori lor to-d3y it is fearei that turpentine will resume the downward tendency which has marked it for the lasi txvo weeks. The rosin situation is satisfactory, with prices firm and small stocks in the hands of the factors. “Nothing doing” accurately describes the state of affairs at the Cotton Exchange yesterday. There were no receipts and no sales. On the strength of renewed in terest in New York, due to Liverpool od vices, the local quotations were advance! t* of a cent on all grades. The dealers in builders’ supplies report a very good outlook for their business this summer. The lull in the demand for bund ing supplies, both general and local, has ceased, and prices remain firm, with hut slight reductions over former quotations. The local dealers report numerous inqui ries and other evidences that building, which was checked by the combination of high prices and the laborers’ strike, is about to be resumed and they unite in predicting a good summer in this line. The number of building permits issued re cently at the City Exchange beais them out in this assumption. COTTON.

Foreign buying orders helped stiffen the market as did the of invest ment orders from Wall street. Local and Southern shorts covered with some show o; nervousness, while influential bulls ex hibited ci confident spirit. A lei-up in foreign buying and Scattering sales for profits subsequently carried prices off sev eral points, but the market rallied still later on renewed general buying, prompt ed by reports from New Orleans that heavy rains were falling n parts of ahd the central belt, where more or less damage had already been done by the ex cessive moisture. The- weather forecast from Washington added >o the uneasiness of shorts, inasmuch as it held out every promise that rain would he general to morrow. Predictions for a higher Liver pool market to-m:rrow intensified ihe Him. ness of the market toward the close. The market was finally steady at a net ad vance of 5 to 11 points. New York.

New- York. June 13.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say; Advices from India received to-day state the Monsoon has broken on the coasts and that it is be lieved tlie rain will now follow over trie entire peninsular. This news brought .-1 rally to Liverpool, ithat market recover ing the decline of yesterday and having our local trade to anticipate a further im provement abroad to-morrow. Crop ac counts from the Southwest show an im provement, with the weather clear and warm over Texas. Out; local traders are looking for a further upw-ard reaction on the advices from Liverpool, and have ab sorbed the offerings fi;om the South. A firm market in New- Orleans bade them to look for a rally similar to that of last Saturday. Commission houses are doing llttffe. as the outside interests are uncer tain in view of smaller supplies, poor trade and improving crop advices in the Southwest. Tlie local traders are rather more optimistic in their views than of late.

Futures opened a shade higher on old. but unchanged 0:1 new crops, but closed 3-64d up on former and in, points on latter, owing to the " strong statistical position and expectation of im proved trade demand. This market opened 1 point higher, but quickly improved on general buying. Weather conditions in the South favorable, except some rainy sec tions of Mississippi and Georgia. Pries ore 5 to 7 points higher than yesterday's close. The statistical position and weath er conditions with iate start rather favor the bulls and we are inclined to think that effort will be made to force prices higher. DliV GOODS.
