THE DRUG STORE LAW.
CommI*.lour, of l’h.rm..y Bays It W11
hr F.nforrrd VlgoronSly.
•Th« New England Druggist's Main* de
partmont of the May nmber has the fol
lowing lntervtswiwith the Maine com
missloner of pharmacy, Joa. F. Yorjng
at Augusta, regarding the pharmucj
laws passed at the last session of the leg
lslaturo:
"We shall enforoa the law to the lette:
lust as well as we know how. In al
those matters In which It la lncumben
for the commissioners to move, the pub
lie will And us without fear or favor.
As to the fake drugstores that have beer
so long a disgrace to the reputable drug
trade of the state, wa shall go for then
wherever they may be. I learn that Lew
iston contains more than any other city
In the titate.JBnt there are alotofthem It
Blddeford and Saco, and we learn that
they are pretty well scattered through th«
State. A oareful list will be made and
the enforcement of the law will com
mence.
"I think that when the new law If
generally understood It will be liked by
the druggists. It Is certainly designed
for their protection and no reputable
druggist will, of course, objeot to having
the business regulated.
"To my mind one of the best featurei
of the new law Is the clause relating tc
poisons. All olasses of poisons are placed
under greater restrictions as to their sale
In this state than people realize. Under
the law in force druggists could sell to
almost any one. Under the new law tht
drug can only be sold on a druggist i
prescription or to a dentist.
"I say again that the law will he en
forced by us just us well as and just ai
vigorously as we know how. We shall
have no friends and no discrimination
We believe that It Is a good law Bnd thai
If fairly and impartially enforcedlt wtl
work for the common benslit of the drug
gist and the publio. Therefore It oughl
to be pretty plain sailing for us.’ ’

THE LOVELL DIAMOND.
Secret of the Reduction In Price of
This Wheel.
The announcement of the reduction In
price of the Lovell Diamond bicycle has
been a great surprise to many people and
led muny to think that It was the fault
of the wheel or some of its parts. This
is not so. This whsel did not have fame
thrust upon it, but achieved it by It» own
merits. It is as well and favorably
known in London and Paris as it is in
Boston, and in many other purts of the
United States.
At the original price, a Lovell Diamond
was regarded as a very high class invest
ment, and it is, therefore, not to be won
dered at that bicycle circles—which, by
the way, nowadays, include yretty much
every circle in the community—should
have been astonished when the ‘•Dia
mond” was offered at about one-half the
price wnich has hitherto been asked for
it.
User6 as well as manufacturers of
wheels have been generally puzzled over
the reduction in the Diamond, and there
was u tendency to explain it by the state
ment that it “was not so good a wheel. ”
The Lovell Arms Company, however,
guarantees that the wheel at half-price is,
and will continue to be, .exactly as good
as the wheel which has made the lirm
famous.
The explanation of the reduction in
prloe is, after ull, very simple, when one
knows the manufacturing possibilities of
the Lovell company and the policy which
'■-''I'"- . ..... .
new Boston store. The Diamond at ,tne
new price has not lost In quality oue
iota. It simply illustrates what au en
terprising liriu with the most modern
manufacturing equipment and a big de
mand for its goods can do. ilt is a oase of
small prolits and many sales.
The Lovell Arms Company has its own
factories, its bloyole designs are fur
nished by its own superintendent, it buys
raw material in large quantities, itjmakes
the most of science and skill, and it is
supported by the public—that Is the secret
of the whole matter.

HEBRON ACADEMY.
Hebron Academy has not fallen into the
custom toward whioh many of our high
schools and ucademies are tending, that
of placing athletics, amusements and
other things of like character, before her
literary attainments.
On^the evening of Tuesday, May 0, the
Alpha Literary society at Hebron uoade
iny,composed entirely of the lady scholars
and lady members of the faculty, ten
dered their friends an annual reception.
This season was selected in order that the
entertainment might be given in the full
bloom of the violet which has been chosen
as the society flower; and it was held in
«ihe gymnasium. The large room of the
building was very tastifully decorated
with violet and white, dotted here and
there with evergreen. And a smaller
room in which the refreshments were
served was similarly adorned. After
the guests were assembled and duly
ushered in by the receiving committee
the programme of the evening was car
ried out as follows:
March.
Piano Duet. Misses Burgess and Marsh
Reading, Mauuie Frost
Vocul 8olo, Helen Bonny
Reading, Miss Hodsdon
Toasts.
Refreshments.
March.
Miss Bonny's solo was heard with great
pleasure, her reputation as a vocalist hav
ing been already established. And the
readings were by no means inferior to any
given before.
On account of the manner of serving
refreshments it was thought best to
reverse the usual order and let the toasts
precede. Miss Richardson, the president
of the society, introduced to the audience
the toa stmlstress, Miss Donliam. The
toasts were given as follows: Miss
Richardson extended the welcome; Mr.
Bryant, president of a similar society
among the young men of the school, re
sponded; Mr. L. C. Stearns gave a toast
on the Tyrocinic Adelphla; Prof. Teague
related some of his youthful experiences
in making verse; Miss Morgan gave u
toast on Mrs. bturtevant, the donor of
the Girls' doxnitory; Miss Kastall gave a
brief history of the A. L. 8. ; Mr. W.
M. 11. Teague, as captain of the Hebron
baseball team, spoke a few words in be
half of '^athletics; Mr. Whitman,! as
president of the senior class offered a few
words of advice; Principal 8argent closed
this part of the programme with a few
appropriate words.
The guests wero then invited to partake
of the refreshments. These were served
in the girls’ parlor. There were four
tables, one for ice cream, one for salad,
or.e for punch, and one for sherbert.
They were refrashing indeed and after
this dainty repast all assembled In the
main half for the last grand march,
which closed the evening’s entertain
men t.
It is exercises of this kind which to a
great extent cause the school days to be
looked back upon as the happiest mo
ments of one’s life, for not only are they
highly Instructive but they are Interest
ing and pleasurable. |
