DISTINGUISHED GATHERING IN CITY Proceedings of the Opening Ses- sion of the Body. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES —— ‘The eighth decennial convention for the purpose of revising the United States Phar- macopoeia was called to order in the new banquet hall on the tenth floor of the Ral- eigh Hotel today at noon by the president, Prof. Horatio C. Wood, who occupies the chair of therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania. The large apartment was filled with the delegates, who comprised representatives of all the state medical so- cieties, medical colleges and colleges of pharmacy in the United States. The pres- ent is the eighth time the convention has met in this city, having gathered here at the close of every decade since 1828. Commissioner John B. Wight welcomed the convention to Washington with much cordiality, and said It was fitting that such an important gathering of men, upon whom so largely depended the welfare of humani- ty, as.its health was so generally in their Keeping, should be held in the capital of the greatest and mi progressive of na- Uons. Mr. Wight was warmly applauded. The official call was read by Mr. W. S. Thompson of this city, chairman of the committee on credent! . who followed it with the report of his committee, naming the delegates eligible to participate. Sev- eral gentlemen present, when the reading of the list was completed, called attention to the fact that certain bodies which had sent representatives to the convention had not been mentioned. The Matter Explained. Mr. Thompson explained that only state medical societies incorporated by states which had been in existence five years pre- vious to this meeting were eligible. He stated that the committee had therefore found ineligible for this reason the Georgia Medical Association, the Chicago Medical So@iety, the Brooklyn Medical Society, the New York County Medical Societ e Northwestern Ohio Druggists’ Ass the Allegheny County. Medical Society and the Alumni Association of the Philadel- phia College of Pharma A discussi seemed to be imminent when a motion made and carried to refer all questions about the societies back to the committee on_ credentials. The convention then listened to the ad- dress of President Wood. It was an in- teresting contribution, reviewing the his- tory of former revisions of the pharmaco- poeia, which have now occupied a century. He urged a careful study of these lessons of the past in order that the work of the present, which meant so much for the fu- ture, might be approached with care and wisdom. His suggestion that Dr. Charles Rice of New York, chairman of the las commit ae uld be continued at the id of the commi ¢ to be formed was greeted with applause, as was his an- nouncement that the condition of Dr. Rice, who has been sick, was rapidly improving. The convention then took a recess until jock to Select one member from each delegation to form a committee on nomi- nations, which committee is authorized to nominate offi of the convention and the committee of revision. Scope of the Pharmacopoeia. The committee appointed at the conven- tion of 1890 to draft a plan for revising the pharmacopoeia adopted tn that year will make its report this afternoon. Among its more important recommendations are the following: “The committee of revision should be au- ed to admit into the pharmacopovia duct of nature of known origin; also nthetized product of definite ‘com- position which is in common use by the medical prof . the identity, purity or strength of which can be determined. No compound or mixture should be introduced if the composition or mode of manufacture thereof be kept secret, or if it be controlled by unlimited proprietary or patent rights. Doses. “After each pharmacapoeial article (drug, chemical or preparation) which is used or likely to be used internally or hy- podermically the committee is instructed to state the average approximate (bu: neither a minimum nor a maximum) dos for adults, and, where deemed adv! also for children.

Formulae and Weights and Measures. It is further recommended that general formulae be introduced, as far as the par- ticular nature of the several drugs will permit, for fluid extracts, tinctures and such other preparations a3 are made by identical processes, and that the formula to be followed in eact merely indicated by reference. ‘The committee is instructed to retain the system of weights and measures adopted in the seventh decennial revision, and {s advised that in all matters not specially provided for in these “General Principle the rules established for previous revision, if there are any, should be followed. oo Spectal Fund Provided. Major Sylvester, the chief of police, has requested of the District Commissioners the procurement or setting aside of the sum of $1,000 to be expended for police purposes during the twenty-sixth annual session of the Anctent Arable Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which ‘takes place here the 21st, 22d and 23d!of this month. Commis- sioner Wight, who has immediate super- vision of the polfce department, has rec- ommended that the amount be appropriated from the emergency fund, and it is under- stood that his recommendation will receive the approval of bis associates. —_—+ Forward Favornble Report. A favorable report was made touay by the District Commissioners upon Senate bill 3481 and House bill 9293, to permit certain burials of the dead in’ the lands of the Protestant Episcopal Cathed#al Foundation of the District. In recommending favor- able action on the bills, which are identical, the Commissioners transmit a letter re: ceived by them on the subject from the bishop of Washington, Rev. Henry Y. Sat- terlee.

WILL SUE A LOCAL DIVINE MISS NETHERSOLE CLAIMS 850,000 DAMAGES FROM REV. DR. EASTON, The Actress Bases Her Demand on an Alleged Remark of His in a Recent Sermon. It was announced in New York this morn- ing that M! Olga Nethersole, the actr had determined to enter suit in the court of the District of Columbia for $50,000 dam- ages against Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, corner of 6th street and Maryland avenue northeast. The grounds for the suit, it was safd, were found in a sermon which Dr. Easton delivered April 1, in which he partially re- viewed the play of Sapho and made refer- ence to Miss Nethersole, it is alleged, as “a lewd woman.” lt was stated that Miss Nethersole aad instructed her New York attorneys, Howe and Hummel, to draw the papers and when completed they were to be sent here for service by Mr. Campbell Car- rington. Miss Nethersole’s Statement. When seen last night in New York, Miss Nethersole said that while she thought she would secure a judgment against Dr. Eas- ton, she did not care for it, so far as its monetary value was concerned, but wanted a public vindication. “Dr. Easton,” she remarked, “has made an apology, which in some respects I con- sider sufficient, but when you come to con- sider that he denounced me before an en- tire congregation and then apologized tome in person I think I have a perfect right to demand an apology in his church. He said he judged the ‘lewd’ actress from the fact that I was emotional. Well, if such is the fact, half of the actors and actresses in the to him and inquired what his business was there. The stranger made no answer, but left the vicinity of the safe and hurried through the hall to the front door. Just about the time he reached the door Ed- ward Day, a clerk in the office, appeared. Pursuit of Hill. Mr. Nesbitt called to him to “Stop that man,” and Mr. Day went in pursuit of him. Hill turned the corner of 7th street and started north. Fully three hundred people were soon participating in the chase, and near the corner of 7th and H streets Police- man Simpson arrested him. “What has he done?’ the policeman tn- quired. He was not answered until he re- turned to the office with him, and then Mr. Nesbitt made an explanaiion. “I'm a produce dealer from Philadelphia,” was his first statement to the officer, “and I was in the building looking for a room.” Just afterwards he said he was a tourist | drama are ‘lewd.’ I shall certainly press my suit against Dr. Easton if he does not make a public apology from the pulpit and liquidate the costs of this action, which I have already paid." A Star reporter called twice at the rest- dence of Dr. Easton, No. 637 East Capitol street, today to ascertain what he had to say upon the subject, but he was absent both times. An amusing coincidence of the visits was the presence on the front steps of Dr. Easton’s house of an advertising dodger bearing in big black ietters the ad- monition “See Sappho!” It was there at the time the reporter first called and in the same place two hours later, when he went again.
