wore very much opposed to his speaking In
the house yesterday , ns they wished him to
nave his strength for tomorrow. Their fears
that ho would exhaust himself , however ,
were groundless , for today Mr. Gladstone
was feeling ns well us over , went to church
twice , and had the usual appetite.
The thirty-seven questions which are to
come up In the house nro likely to delay the
introduction of the homo rule bill. The
whips are urging the members to postpone
their questions until later so that Mr. Glad
stone may bo able to begin his speech as
early asI o'clock. There Is every prospect
that a great street demonstration will bo
made during Mr. Gladstone's pro
gress from his house to Westminis

to accompany Mr. Gladstone from Downing

quarter being sufficient to absorb the moder

the continued cheapness of money is seen in

American railway securities were very un

X , D. C. , Feb. 12. The work of
the committees having charge of the cere
monies Incident to the inauguration of Presi
dent-elect Cleveland is progressing satis
factorily.
General McMahon and Colonel Corbln , who
have sujwrvlslon of the arrangements of the
particulars , are daily receiving letters from
military organizations nil over the
United States for jtosltloiis. More
than a hundred organizations ( Including
Tammany ) have thus far reported n probable
strength of over 17,000 men to form in line on
March . The governors of the following
named states have notified the committee
that they will bo in late , accompanied by
members of their respective staffs ami in
many instances by Independent military
companies : Delaware , Pennsylvania , New
.Icrscy , Connecticut , Massachusetts , Mary
land , North Carolina , South Carolina ,
Virginia. Illinois , Louisiana and Wisconsin.
It is almost certain that a majority of the
governors of the remaining states will Vo
present , but us yet they have not notified the
committee. Pennsylvania , as usual , will
send the largest representation of any state.
Its full national guard of 8,000 men will bo in
lino. New York will send its crack organi
zations the Seventh and Sixty-ninth regi
ments and probably company A of the Thir
teenth regiment ( Brooklyn ) .
There Is every probability that the inau
guration of March 4 , IblM , will surpass all its
predecessors.

PnoviDcxcn , K. I. , Feb. 12. General A. C
Weissart , comtnandcr-ln-chlef of the Grand
Army of the Republic , furnishes for publica
tion a letter addressed to Congressman
O'Ncll of Massachusetts , In which ho says :
" 1 notice in the morning papers that you
quote mo in approval of your proposed
amendment to existing pension legis.
lation affecting pensions of inmates
of soldiers' homes. Luter , I received your
letter of the 4th inst. , asking endorsement of
some interview , said to have been held with
mo on that specific point. Uncertain whether
represented or misrepresented in that inter
view , I say to you that while I am in favor
of legislation giving a major portion of the
pension inmates of n home to his fnmilv ,
yet , if ho has no family , I say
let him have it all , oven if it
amounts to fie cents per day. For your pro
posed amendments generally , as published ,
I have no favor. They are all calculated to
restrict benefits heretofore secured to vet
erans or their widows. Your restriction to
less than $0)0 ) n year is particularly obnox
ious because It requires public acknowl
edgement of poverty. Health and loyalty
were all that Lincoln asked of us when you
were a babe , und wo were battling to pre
serve n congress for you to sit hi. I torn-
mend for , your consideration the .words of
another son of Massachusetts , as ho voiced
the country's estimat6 of the services of the
founders of the republic , who were survivors
In his time : 1. o. , I refer to Webster. Your
war is utterly repugnant to oven average
manhood.
"In the body of which you are n member
sits many u man who fought us man-fashion ,
open and above board , front face , but I haz
ard the prediction none of them could bo In
duced to lead In such a fight as you are
making.
' "You'cry out against the sum total of the
annual appropriations for pensions , and cap
italists and cowards comprise -the majority
of those who applaud. Figure the total on
all pensions from ' 05 to "Ji ; , and it is Ilttlo
more than tlio amount paid In the same
time , for Interest alone , to the bondholder ,
Ho bought his bond always below par ,
at times as low ns 38 cents. The
men 1 now. nayo the honor to command , and
their deceased comrades endorsed those
bonds' with their heart's blood , and by
their valor put them on tbo road to par , and
nt a premium in the financial markets of the
wdrld. With tremendous unanimity they
stood for honest money in peace , insisting
that Uncle Sam's promise to the bondholder
should bo redeemed at 100 cents on the
dollar with all interest , and payable in'gold.
"Tho next president of the United States
goes into ofllco , having been voteuT for by
hundreds of thousands of veterans. I have
no criticism for their course. The soldier
earned the right to vote as ho pleases , bo it
democratic , republican or populist. If souio
of them , advanced in years , enfeebled bydls-
case , see fit to totter to the
polls andvote the mugwump
ticket , that Is their right , und I beg you to
stop this warfare which will drive them to
lay aside their consideration of other matters
germane to our system of government , und
tend to weld them into n nearly solid politi
cal mass. Your present course , If per
sisted in , renders that Inevitable , in my
opinion. _ _

LAKEVIEW , N. J. , Fob. 12-Joslah Quincy ,
who has been in Washington looking after
silver legislation had a long talk today with
Mr. Cleveland and Don M. Dickinson.
Mr. Quincy loft for New York this evening
jind will probably return to Washington to
make u final effort for tho. repeal of the
Sherman purchase act at this 'session of con
gress. Mr. Qulney declined to say what
would bo done to get a vote on tbo silver bill
In tlio house or to say what prospects there
are of any definite action being taken before
adjournment. It was evident , however , that
ho does not consider the silver repeal hope
less at this session.
Mr. Cleveland will remain at Lakewood
all of this week unless private business calls
him to town. Ho will invite such men ns ho
desires to sco in connection with the cabinet
or other high positions to visit him hero ,
and In all probability the construction of his
cabinet will bo known before the end of the
weblr.
As yet no official announcements have been
made regarding any one of the iwrtfolios ,
either by Mr. Cleveland or by the gentle
men who have been asked to enter the cabi
net. It is practically settled , however ,
that Walter Q. Gresham has been
offered the portfolio of state and
has accepted , and that -John G. Carlisle
will bo secretary of the treasury. These
men have admitted enough to remove all
doubt so far as they are concerned.
As to the rumors concerning Mr. Wilson S
Bissell of Buffalo , Hoko Smith of Georgia ,
Daulel S. Lament and M. A. Herbert of Ala
bama , nothing iwsitlve can bo learned.
These men may bo sot down as possibilities.
Thlukg Silver Coinage Mutt On.
NEW YOUK , Fob , 13. Henry VJllard returned -
turned yesterday from Washington , where
ho has been working for the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase act ,
"If all the republicans had cooperated
with tha anti-silver democrats , " said he , "as
they did last year in preventing the passage
of the Stewart free coinage bill , the repeal
bill would have been carried by a considera
ble majority. Tlio principal causa is the
lamentable and incomprehensible obstacle
raised by the business community through
out the country , in the face of the momen
tous issue before congress. This seems to
bo a fact that publlo sentimoat In the
eastern and middle states Is now almost
a unit ns to the necessity of the im
mediate absolute stoppage of the purchase of
silver bullion and the issue of more currency
against it. It is also
a fact that a strong ax-
pivssslon of this sentiment was wanting ,
and that on the contrary , active representa
tives on the ground in Washington could
literally bo Counted on the fingers of ono
hand. "
"What do you think of the prospect for the
repeal of the Sherman law ? "
" 1 am satUHed that notwithstanding the
failures In the senate and homo , the country
will be roltovcd of this fatal luoubus before
long. 1 pin my faith In absolute certainty
that us the silver dlsonsn has reached the
ncuto stage , It Is already causing flcrlous
complications , and Is bound to produce great
difficulties In the near future , and the law of
solf-prosorvatton will compel thu conserv
ative classes In nil parties of the country to
Insist upon the repeal of this law. "

" 1'un on the Ilrlstol" nt the I'limnm ,
For humor of the merriest , healthiest sort ,
few , if any , of the mclo-farcos that were
called into being by the popularity of "Fun
on thu Bristol , " have equalled the original
work. It opened a week's engagement at
rtui Farnam Street theater yesterday and
delighted two monster audiences. Many
changes have been made in the entertain
ment that took New York and the country
by storm a dozen years ago , but still It
stands supreme among musical comedies
of its class. During the last llvo or six years
the Bristol has visited nearly every port of
the world , and through England , India. Aus
tralasla , the Dutch Indies and the Straits Set
tlements It has moved on its mission of mer
riment-milking , and the Widow O'Brecong
is enshrined In gratclul laughing hearts
the world over. And John S. Sheridan is
still the Widow , and Is , many must think ,
oven better than ever. Mr. Sheridan's per-
formiineo Is past criticism. It is rharactor-
ful to a degree , and still remains the best
among nil rivals.
A wholly admirable company supports
Mr. Sheridan , and the result is that not a
Haw can be picked in the entire entertain
ment. The specialties introduced are this
year hotter than ever ; indued none better
have been seen In Omaha this season. From
Australia romps Miss Grace Whiteford , who
appears as Nora. She is pretty and talented ,
sinsjs nicely , dances well , and no little share
of the enjoyment of "Fun on the Bristol" Is
duo to her artistic efforts. Miss Funny Lld-
dhird , who fills the part of Dora , also comes
from the kangaroo continent , and
is very clover , her personation
of the Commercial Drummer being
especially successful. There is u singing
and dancing quartet of superior merit , whoso
Japanese specialty is particularly fetching.
Messrs. Marion and Post do an eccentric
dance , to the dainty , humorous music , by
the way , of Gounod's "Funeral March of a
Marionette , " that had to bo repeated yes
terday to satisfy the delighted onlookers.
Mr. George Sinclair is a baritone-tenor of
line voice who sings several capital songs.
But what "took" the
people yesterday , and
is likely to take ahd hold them till week , was
the singing of a real imported Parisian
chnntouso , whoso name is Mile. Blando Sie-
grist. She sang a modern French chanson
with a chic' that was 'captivating. Then , in
response to a vociferous encore , she snng
"Georgio , " the song of the hour in thb east.
"Georgio" is one of the clearest things ever
heard , and sung as Mile. Slcgrist sings It it
Is something to remember. It raised
quite a little furore yesterday and booked a
double recall.
The entertainment as a whole earns high
est praise , and those who nro in need of a
couple of hours of dear , rollicking mirth , can
certainly have it at the Farnam this week.
Tower of the 1'rcss" ut HoyiPs.
"The Power of the Press" is u great play ,
and those who can fully appreciate the best
interests of the American stage must con
gratulate themselves , the profession and the
general public on the fact that the big ,
clover Irish newspaper man who has written
it is a citizen of these United States und
intensely American In his activities 'as well
as his sympathies. Mr. Jessup's work is
great , because it faithfully mirrors life ns it
is lived in the American metropolis , with all
the nobility of human motive and
action that intermingles with and
mostly dominates its baser elements.
It is in the higher scnso a realistic : play ,
Judged from a literary view point , though
the atory is treated conventionally. Above
nil. Its presentation must inevitably make
for good ; its moral is dcllnito and its effect
must needs bo powerful. When the curtain
falls on thu last of thu dozen and ono scenes
that frame the action of "Tho Power of the
Press" the modest worker on that same
press who has followed the story from beginning -
ginning to end feels forced , as few other
dramas ho knows conijwls him , to admit the
power of the stage and the far reaculng po
tentialities that inay bo wielded by drama
tist and hlstrion.
As a literary work "Tho Power of the
Press1' is eminent. The characterization of
the thirty or more living men , women and
children In the drama is a triumph , "and the
book should live and bo appreciated by the
reader when the "run" of the play has
reached its period. Some of the scenes are
reminiscent of other great works the lirst.
for instance , more than reminds of
that perfect comedy , "Casto" but that is
nothing belittles the greatness of the work.
Pictorinlly , and as a stage play , the drama is
ono of the strongest and best over seen
In this ornni other country- and writing of
it superlatives can hardly bo avoided. As
seen at the Boyd this week fullest justice ,
scenlcally and mechanically , is doiui- the
play. Every cloth Is a picture and the sot
scenes are wholly admirable. The shipyard
scene , thu wharf scene and the ship scene
aru especially notable , the lust n titling
frame for a dramatic incident of unusual in
tensity that forms the climax of the action.
The company presenting this great play Is
substantially the same as seen in it hero last
season. Each member is capitally cast.
Each has n flno sense of the author's moan
ing and the talent to fully express It. There
is not n weak point in the presentation and
to detail special excellences were vain , where
all Is so good. No ono should miss seeing this
characterful moral play : these who do not
affect theater going for Instruction and do
not care to visit n play house for .entertain
ment can lind In "Tho Power of the Press"
much to both entertain and Instruct , and not
n Ilttlo that should make them oven bolter
men and women.

You can't ulTortl to bo sick.
This applies to everybody , nuya the St.
Louis Itopubllc , uiul after the Interest
ing rovolaUoiiH initdo in the following
Htory of the llllhig of three very simple
little proscriptions nro fully compre
hended everybody will ugroo with the
assertion.
The iceman In stimnioi * , the coal dealer
and plumber in winter , and the milliner
in all ( seasons have long been looked
upon us great prollt makers In the busi
ness world , but , in the venmoular , they
are "not In it" with tlio pill and potion
vendor , whom , like the poor , wo have al
ways with ns.
Not only tire profits of the druggist
enormous , as shown below , but there Is
no dodging him. The sick and sufToi1-
ing are completely nt bis mercy. A
prescription written by n physician In
'doctor's ' Latin'1 is an awe-inspiring
mystery to most people n i-lddlo that
can only be read by the apothecary to
whom it is sent to be compounded. There
is no room for negotiation no chance
for n dicker the medicine must bo taken
and must bo paid for at tlio price the
druggist charges and no < | iicstions
asked.
There are some people who think the
druggists' charges are u trillo exorbi
tant , but they have no special knowledge
upon the subject , and it is therefore
merely a matter of surmise with them.
Some of these have written mild com
plaints to the Republic and in order to
gratify their wish to "have the matter
looked into" an investigation of the pre
scription business in St. Louis was de
cided upon. Everybody buys medicines
at some time or other , and therefore the
facts e ) llcctfd are of general interest.
The first stop in the investigation wns
to secure simple prescriptions contain
ing inexpensive drugs and to ascertain
the exact cost of the ingredients to the
prescription druggist. The proscriptions
were easily obtained from a well known
local physician and a reliable druggist
furnished the required information rela
tive to their cost.
The lirst prescription called for three
grains of permanganate of. potash , with
sullieient water added to make six
ounces. In stronger solution this is used
for local applications. According to the
druggist referred to pormangumito of
potash can bo bought by pharmacists nt
the rate of llfty , grains for a nickel , so
that 5 cents would bo a liberal estimate
for the cost of tlio medicine , bottle and
cork complete. " " ' !
The second preSjCription , used as n
cough mixture , " ! \ras somewhat more
complicated and alsp more expensive to
the druggist. Jtcalled / for sirup of
squills , sirup of wild cherry and sirup of
ipieac in equal quantities to make two
ounces , and nmindnia carbonate and
ammonia muriate in equal quantities to
make one and one liijlf drachms. Each in
gredient cost practically nothing , but
taken altogether 15 cents would cover
tlio cost of modicinn , bottle , label and
cork.
For the benefit of those who may de
sire to try this excellent remedy for
coughs , it may bo stated that ono teaspoonful -
spoonful should bo taken every two
hours until relieved.
A fever mixture was called for in the
next prescription , and contained sixteen
drops of aconite , twenty-four grains of
sulphate of quinine and sirup of licorice
to the amount of two ounces. The cost
of quinine and aconite in the qualities
mentioned is infinitesimal , and a quar
ter of n stick of licorice dissolved in
water produces the sirup of licorice.
Tlio druggist placed the cost of this de
coction , with bottle and cork , at 5 cents.
Ono tenspoonful cvory two hours is the
manner in which the stuff is to bo taken.
All that now remained was to luivo
the prescriptions filled , and seven copies
of each proscription wore in nil o and
Boveu druggists visited. The Republic
now has on hand seven bottles of a beau
tiful violet liquid , permanganate of pot
ash ; seven bottles of a somewhat effer
vescent cough mixture , liabloto explode
if corked too tightly , as the reporter
learned to his sorrow , and seven bottles
of fever mixture , all of which will prob
ably bo donated to some hospital , unless
they can bo disposed , of to better advant
age. The reporter also has on hand a
largo stock of experience gleaned dur
ing his investigation and a very sore
throat , caused by attempting to simu
late a hacking cough while the pro
scriptions were being filled.
As for the profits accruing to the
druggists , they can bo estimated from
the fact that the twenty-one prescrip
tions , which cost the druggists exactly
$1.75 altogether , cost tlio alleged patient
exactly $8 ; so the average profits wore
something over 357 per cent. The time
spent by each druggist in nutting up the
three presciptions and making copies of
the same for the customer was about fif
teen minutes , so that ho received decid
edly good recompense for his skill and
labor , as well as an enormous prollt on
the cost of his goods.
The first drug store visited was on
Third street. "What will it cost to have
those proscriptions filled ; " ' inquired the
reporter.
"They will cost just S1.20 , " said the
clerk , in a businesslike way.
"Isn't that a large Amount to pay for
three simple prosc.rfpljionay11 objected tlio
reporter , "what makes them cost so
much ? " ' " ; , ' , , A
"Why , the stuff ) , ] ; i them , " was the
reply , and the reporter meekly laid
down the money when they wore ready ,
striving to suppress u hacking cough all
the whilo. ' ; ' ' '
The druggist cleared just 05 cents on
the transaction , according to the esti
mated cost of tlAOmcdicino | , and his
profit was accordingly H80 per cent. His
greatest prollt wiw.on the permanganate
of potash , for whioh ' was charged 50
cents , u profit -tip'conts. . The bottle
wasaslx-ouncooiW.iu'nd before the re
porter got through ufl Imd reason to bo-
llovo that the priooniaid by a patient for
medicine depends largely on the size of
the bottle containing it. The other
prescriptions cost 35 cents each at this
place. '
A surprise wns encountered when the
next place visited was reached. The
clerk , a gentlemanly young follow , after
glancing at tlio proscriptions , stated they
would corao to 75 cents , or 25 cents each.
"You BOO , " ho explained , "tho ingredi
ents cost practically nothing , and wo
charge only for time and skill. " This
was only 200 per cent profit on the trade.
Copies of the prescription wore next
loft at n fashionable drug store. The
clerk stated the prescriptions would
como to $1.35. Between coughs tlio re
porter inquired what made the stult cost
so much , and received the stereotyped
reply that it was the medicine In it. The
druggist cleared 81.10 on the deal , or 440
per cent. Ho charged CO cents for the
potash , 40 cents for the fever mixture
and 45 cents for the other.
At another of the high-priced drug
stores a young gentleman with exceed
ingly blonde hair and gold spectacles to
match waited on the reporter.
Ho was very young , but hud n
careworn expression , as if charging al
most six prices for mediclno worth 25
cents wns tolling on his e institution. Hu
ll ml a far-away oxprojslon in his eye , his
brows wore upparontly habitually con
tracted , and ho was evidently on tiering
from the attempt to reconcile Ills moral
scruples with Ills drug store methods
and the necessity of representing that
gold was cheap compared with the value
of the ingredients forming the medicines
bo concocted.
Then at another store , whore the price
was somewhat less , the drug clerk
seemed u bit dyspeptic , and his tempera
ment was regulated accordingly. The
reporter felt it a great privilege to pay
Him over $1 for the 25 cents worth of
stuff , and was tempted to apologlx.o be
cause the mediclno wasn't worth paying
more for. The proprietors of the drug
stores must have to pay big wages to
theho young men.
At still another place the reporter felt
that the sympathy expressed for bis failIng -
Ing health was worth some of the -100 per
cent profit realized on the medicine , and
then tlio pretty little red stopper in the
permanganate of potash bottle barmon-
i/.ed so well with the beautiful violet
liquid that it wns worth at least 2 cents
more ,
While the prescription was being
made up hero the reporter tried a drug
store on Washington .avenue. It Is in u
very respectable neighborhood and 1ms
done u largo trade in prescriptions for
ninny years. Hero the bill footed up to
81.U. ) The druggist was asked the usual
question , and while the reporter coughed
he said : "That's not much for the three
prescriptions. You usually have to pay
115 cents for a six-ounce mixture like the
permanganate of potash. " Then ho no
ticed the reporter s cough and wanted to
know if he didn't find the cough mix
ture exceedingly nasty. The reporter
insinuated that it was the nastiest stun"
ho had over tasted. The druggist
charged him 50 cents for the perman
ganate of potash and 40 cents for each of
the two others. Ho made $1.0. ) , or 420
per cont.
At this point the reporter discovered
that each druggist was putting the date
on the copies of the proscriptions , and
so ho was not surprised when at one of
the places subsequently visited the clerk
regarded him with surprise , and ex
pressed the opinion that "he was taking
a terrible lot of medicine. " Tlio re
porter explained that ho had broken the
bottles ho had just had filled , and the
clerk accepted the explanation.
A handsome establishment away up
town was next experimented with. The
clerk , when ho said the prescription
would amount to $1.15 , explained that
he was lumping them and making a
special rato. The prollt there was 1)0 )
cents , or 300 per cent. The reporter
was cautioned to shako the cough medi
cine well before using , and promised to
carry out instructions. It was this bottle
tle that exploded in the reporter's
pocket.
Two other places wore visited , at ono
of which the price asked was -J , and at
another $1.25. Taking the seven pro
scriptions wnich were actually filled up ,
and are now on hand , ranging from
$1.35 to 75 cents , the total cost was $8.
The total costs to the druggists was
81.75.
The enormous profits on drugs are
possible because the druggists have the
public at their mercy. When a person
calls on a physician and secures a pro
scription , the medicine must bo bought
and paid for , and that nt whatever ruto
the druggist sees flt to charge. Many
physicians , by insisting that their pa
tients patronize a particular druggist ,
secure a certain percentage of the profits
on till their prescriptions. In such cases
the druggist , of course , tucks on the
physician's share to the price he charges
the customer. In ordinary business pur
suits u merchant is content with as little
ns 15 per cent prollt on his investment.
As shown by the reporter's experience
the druggist wants at least 200 per cent
and more frequently demands ever 400
per cent.

STHKATOU , 111. , Feb. 12. The match be
tween Eddie Myor of this city , brother of
Billy Myor , and George LaVigno of Saijinaw ,
Mich. , was decided in an old skating rink in
Dana , a small town on the Santa Fo rail
road , seventeen miles south of Streator , be
fore an audience of 300 , and resulted in Myer
being knocked out in the twenty-third round
by n blow on the chin.
The light was of the whirlwind order and
each man evidently trying to make quick
work of his opponent. Myer showed
greater generalship that LaVlguo and num
berless times escaped some of the latter's
terriflo right-handers. Myer hit LaVigno In
the mouth In the first round and claimed
lirst blood , but the claim was not allowed.
In the third round LaVigno planted a
scorcher on Myer's nose , and lirst blood was
allowed. In every round there was hot
fighting. Myer was playing for the face ,
and LaVigno for Myer's stomach.
It was anybody's light up to the twenty-
third round. After sparring for a short time
LaVigne struck Mycr a heavy right-liana
blow over the heart , which stunned him ,
and followed it up with another right
hander on the jaw. knocking Mycr down
and ho was counted out. Myer lias not a
mark on him today , while LaVlgno's face is
badly punched and ono eye swelled shut and
badly cut.-
The sheriff and six deputies started In
