178 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



White is with Messrs. Caswell, Massey & Co., Jamestown, R. I., for the summer 

 season. Keeping up his usual record, breaking hearts, I suppose. 



Our Sunday-school boy Roberts from Rome (N. Y., not Italy), is not "canning" 

 this year. He is in a pharmacy somewhere back in York state. 



Strawberry Blonde "Becker," the light of our class-room and sage of the class, is 

 said to be rusticating in his home state, Massachusetts. Schirmer still mourns that 

 new top coat Becker trade-marked commencement day at the Olympia Theatre. 



Underbill prefers winter for vacation. He intends visiting the Ice Palace at 

 Montreal. Summer is too hot. Its so much work to walk, you know.

'98 Notes. 



The following is a nearly complete list of '98 men who enlisted in the Navy. This 

 list was obtained from the medical officer on the U. S. R. S. "Vermont," Brooklyn 

 Navy Yard. Should any name be missed in this list the editor would deem it a favor 

 by having it brought to his attention. Willis H. Alpers, U. S. S. "Maple;" Albert 

 Beckary, U. S. S. "Gloucester;" August F. Eberhardt, U. S. S. "Alexander;" Louis 

 Eickwort, Jr., U. S. S. "Armeria;" Louis H. D. Fraser, U. S. S. "Newark;" Isaac 

 Gellert, U. S. S. "Hist;" Herbert P. Harrison, U. S. S. "Constellation;" Louis Hilde- 

 brandt, U. S. S. "Restless;" H. Christian Jorgensen, U. S. S. "Yankton;" Arthur 

 D. Miles, U. S. S. "St. Paul;" John W. Patton, U. S. S. "Harvard;" Abdon V. 

 Piskorski, U. S. S. " Pompey;" Arthur Richards, U. S. S. "Cassius;" Robert J. 

 Sigel, U. S. S. "New Orleans;" Nicholas C. Senffert, U. S. S. "Richmond;" Anton 

 Vorisek, U. S. S. "Aberenda;" William C. Wild, U. S. S. "Celtic." 



Sigel deserves the distinction of having been the first '9S man to enlist. Look at 

 the vessel he is on, and hasn't she done herself proud. 



Beckary, likewise, for being the only '98 man on a vessel actively engaged during 

 the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet. Read his letter. He is getting quite 

 nautical now, to wit: " Who was nearly 'water-logged,' " etc. 



Fraser, likewise, for being attached to a flagship for some little time, also for cutting 

 such a "big swath" at Norfolk, Va. 



Wild, likewise, for having a collier attached to him. Don't you care Wild, you 

 made us all happy while we w-ere on the "Vermont." I have the consolation of 

 knowing you will be happy wherever you are and do your duty whatever is attached 

 to you, even if it is a "taffrail." 



Alpers, likewise, for being on a vessel that was engaged in offering terms of ex- 

 change after Lieutenant Hobson made his gallant dash. The " Maple " is blockading 

 off Havana. 



Eickwort for being the first one to write to the Journal (of Pharmacology) and 

 "it's so" if you see it here. We were glad to hear from him through that' medium 

 and I hope the boys will send the Journal all they can. "Jump in everybody " and 

 let us hear from every one through its columns. 



Harrison for being the only one to " bask " in the sunshine at Newport. Supposing 

 he has to stay there all winter. It won't be such a social event then. There is 

 another summer coming, Harrison, and you will be in it just the same even if the 

 " Constellation " isn't. 



Hildebrandt for trying to replace Linne. What a pity. Linne was a botanist and 

 not an entomologist, but of course he knew something about " bugs." Ask me. 



Jorgensen for being the first one to lose his hat overboard. " Jorgie " wasn't feed- 

 ing the fish exactly but some way or other it got away. "Wasn't that a blooming 

 howid thing to do. Oh, my."
