The last day of the convention of the National Retail Druggists’ Association was marked by addresses from repre sentatives of the large proprietary Turns and communications regarding the direct contract plan. Several prom 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 A motion to pay the chairman of the executive committee was withdrawn after its author had, as he said, suc ceeded In drawing the attention of the convention to the value of the services »f the present chairman, Simon N. Jones, of Louisville. The convention Has enthusiastic in Its praise of Chair man Jones’ services. Thursday afternoon the convention "ill elect Its new executive committee and officers. No electioneering has l»*en in evidence, and It Is not expected that there will be any strong contests f i- th. offices. The present secretary and treasurer will be re-elected.

Fhe financ r i rjpii iiihi t .M investigated the receipts nnd , ‘ :non,s of the year. It recom- prompt remittances from local associations. It was recommended that 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 The motion was Anally withdrawn.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. Mr. Talbot, of Plso's Cure, stated that his Arm had adopted the contract plun Mrs. Culver, of Washington, a wo man proprietor, was Introduced by President Rreslin as one of the fore most workers for price protection.

CHAP CLAD IN GUM SHOES IS PINCHED ON SUSPICION; 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.

MORGAN, General Agent. principal nlrn of the association at this time. One resolution declined the gift of $r»oo from a certain drug manufac turing company nnd another condemn ed cut rate signs. Some discord was shown when Uol- >nel Duble, of New York, a former or ganizer of the association. Introduced a resolution calling for the election of an executive committee which should be more In harmony with the needs of the association. President Rreslin raised the point of order that Colon* 1 Duble, though a delegate, was not a member. After some warm debate the resolution was referred to the commit tee. 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<> live and needn’t be worried about In dianapolis. It was hoped to change the law so as not to Interfere with the work of the association. Frank H. Frecrlcks, of the American Druggists’ Fire Insurance Company, explained the plan and workings of hl.s company, saying that he could reduce Insurance rates for druggists by 25 per cent. He asked that the druggists subscribe to $98,000 worth of stock. Invitations From Citios. Denver extended the association a cordial Invitation to meet In that city next year.

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.

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.

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.

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.
