The convention of retail druggists
from all over the country, wliioh is
going to meet in New York, Febru-
ary ti, is going lo try to cut out the
cut rate dealers in patent medicines,

keep retail prices up. The samo
thing has been tried bufora, but the
scheme has never yot boon made to
work.
The appellato court of Indiana has
decided that any person over lOyoars
of ago who shall point a firearm at
another, even if ho or alio knows that
it is unloaded, is guilty of a misdo-
moanor. The same ruling in oth«"
statos would roduco materially the
"didn't know it was loaded" reports
and do away in a largo measure with
the necossity for fool killors:.
T*. iif.n tho world's fair in Chicago
closed there was much speculation as
to what would boeomo of tho numer-
ous buildings which were oroctod
near tho grounds for tho accommoda-

havo been moving into tho hotels and
Mats by hundrods, and that but few
of them are loft vacant Everything

From tho Aluminum Industrio
'"•toin (Josollschaft of louhausen,
{•'.wltzcrlano, coinos tho news that
tho procoss of producing aluminum1
has boon so cheapened that thoro is)
jiow a profit on it at forty-live conts
a pound. This is siid to be lowor
than the present prico of tin. Owing
to tho low specific gravity of this
modern motal and its declining eost
it is likoly to boeomo tlio most pop-
ular of all kitchen utonsils.
The bill to consolidate Now York,
Kings, Queens, Westchester and
Richmond counties into one groat
city is now pouding at Albany. With
Uoss McLaughlin a-cold in Brooklyn
tho pros poets for tho success of tho
proposition are brightor than thoy
ever wero before. Chicago's 2,000,-
000 will not bo in it in tno race for
first place if this bill passes. Now
York will then have only one rival in
tho world, and that the capital of
(ireat Britain.

Japaneso minister at Washington, is
trying to wear civilized clothos, and
lior only objection to corsets soems
to be that she cannot with them sit
on the floor, on cushions, as she was
bred to do. There should bo a law
forbidding tho salo of corsotu to
women who have boen brought up
without thorn. We try by law to
prevent our citizens from boing de-
moralized by Eastern customs, no
matter how enticing. Ought we not
to do something to prevent foreign-
ers acquiring vicious habits when
they are condemned to live in our
midst.
"Pick-m :-it" is tho name by which
tho elixir with which Premier (i lad -
stono semi-occasional ly refroshes
Minself is known. Tho G. O. M.
carries this preparation with him
wherever ho goes in a little glas.-j
jar. It is some kind of a liquid, is
yellow in color and is only taken in
homeopathic doses. W hat it is or
where the old man gots it is a mys-
tery, but that its iutluonces are ex-
hilarating and revivifying thero can
be no doubt in the minds of those
who have seen (iladstono suddenly
change from an apparently exhaust-
ed to a refreshed, almost jubilant,
condition. What is this Pick-me-up?
Not only tho old but tho young
America would like to know.
The total number of immigrants
arriving at New York during 1893
did not exceed !)f>5,000, against 388,-
40(5 for 18U2. Of the total, 65,290
came from Italy, 51,100 from Gor-
matiy and "5,9> ."> from Russia. Franco
sent over less than and Spain
but 100. The total number is large-
ly in excess of what was exported,
in view of the enormous number of
people already out of employment
.hero. It was a tremendous addition
to the army of unemployed or which
the lax immigration laws anil tho
loose way of enforcing those already
enacted must 1; held largely respon-
sible. It is altogether too large a
body for tho country to assimilate
and to Americanize, even though the
times were propitious.
The Brazilian navies are having

NOMINATED FOR THE SU-
PREME BENCH.
Ho Is nn Indepetulant la Politic* ami
Prominent Anti-Snapper—llolteil the
Nomination of Hill for Governor of
New York.
Washington, Jan. 24.—The receipt
of the nomination of Wheeler II. Peck-
ham to be associate justice of the su-
preme court, which was sent to the
senate yesterday by President Clove-
hind, sent Senator Hill hurrying about
the floor in a lively style. He was
quickly in consultation with members
of the judicial committee, who
will be called upon to pass
the nomination. Senators generally
thought when the nomination became
known that .Judge Peckham, of the
court of appeals of New York, was the
man, but Senator Hill explained such
was not the ease, but that the present
nominee was his brother. The indi-
cations are strong that the nomination
will be opposed upon the same grounds
that Judge llornblower's was.
Mr. Peckham is an independent in
politics and is said to have bolted the
nomination of Senator Hill for gov-
ernor both in 1HK0 and 1888. The
New York senators were not consulted
by the president in making the selec-
tion. Mr. Wheeler II. Peckham is a
member of the law firm of Miller,
Peckham & Dixon.
