C, FRIDAY. MARCH 31, The operations of the new liquor law are still ® matter of doubt and the Commissioners are not disposed to discuss it until after the Bush case is finally decided and their powers clearly defined. While the liquor men are more or less wor- ried over the law the druggists display the | greatest interest andevery day one or more call upon the Commissioners to discuss the eleventh section of the iaw, which affects them. Several days ago the Commissioners received & letter from = prominent firm of with the request that the following ions be anawered: 1. Whether they (the druggists) will be amenable to the act of Congress approved March 3, 1893, regulating the sale of liq jaor in dispensing ‘claret soda,’ which contains about ens cunse of claret to three ounces of simple "7D Whether the law applies to the sale of ale: ‘ohol. 3. Whether they (the druggists) can sell cel- ery, beef, wine and iron, = ratical compound, having as its base « light sherry wine. ‘The letter was referred to the assistant at- torney for the District, who today handed to the Commissioners an opinion in which he sa) “The object of the eleventh section of the act is to prevent di from selling liquor asa beverage or for tippling purposes. It is next to impossible to decide with any degree of certainty after you pass into the region of the various compounds of liquor what is or what is not probibited by the statute. This question must be left to the court to be determined upon the facts of each particular case in the light of ness. For these reasons my opinion is that Jaret soda’ if it contains enough wine to make an itoxicating drink and it is reasonably liable to be used as an intoxicating beverage then it is prohibited by the statute. “In answer to the second question my answer is, Ido not believe pure alcohol comes within the description of intoxicating liquors usec. in the statute. While alcohol is the basis of spiritu- ous liquors and is certainly intoxicating, it is well known that itis very rarely used as. a beverage, but is chiefly confined to medicinal and mechanical uses. Iam of opinion, there- fore, that the law does not apply to the sale of alcohol. “To the third question my answer, if in the compound known as ‘celery, beef, wine andiron’ intoxicating liquor is distinetive force, and such compound is reasonably liable to be used as an intoxicating beverage, it is within the statute and the seller would need the protec- tion of a physician's prescription.” Dr. Bolton's Lectures. Prof. H. Carrington Bolton concinded yes- terday at the Columbian University the learned and interesting course of public lectures which for the last two or three weeks he has been de- livering under the auspices of that institution. ‘These lectures have covered the whole field of the history of chemistry from its beginning in Egypt and in Bible times down to the present | day, and were illustrated at every stage by lan- | tern views reproducing the portraits of emi nent chemists, the initial pages of rare chem- ical books, pictures of ancient chemical appa- ratus, interior views of modern laboratories, &c. "The lectures were attended by large! audiences. comprising distinguished chemists | the head of chemical departments of the got ernment, members of the Chemical Society of Washington, teachers in public and in private schools, as also by representative men and women connected with Washington social life. At the close of the course a vote of thanks was moved by Prof. Charies E. Munroe and sec- onded by Pro’. Wiley, chief chemist of the De- partment of Agriculture, each speaking words ofeulogy. The audience expressed their con currence bya rising vote. Prof. Bolton has | joined the faculty of the Columbian University as its non-resident lecturer on the history and | philosophy of chemistry. He is the editor of | the great work on Chemical Bibhography, in all languages, now passing through the Smith- | sonian press. His Sentence Was Suspended.
