admiration for their unanimity of design
and diverse figure. The line of march
was kept open by strong guard OF police
men. who hanked the streets, and who
were assisted by continuous lines of vehi-
cies, which were ranged on the other side
of the street and occupied by thousands of
spectators. The street cars emptied ap.
parently endless crowds into the streets.
aud incoming trains continue to bring from
the outside cities multltudes of visitors
The Knights gathered in the four streets
facing east. The division on Lake street,
the one fartherest north, moved first east
ward to Wabash avenue. and upon reach
ing that thoroughfare thronged south, and
continued the march to 2lst street. As
the last of this division reached Washing
toD street, the column in that street
fell in and followed to 2lst street.
The same was done with the other coli
umns of Monroe and jackson streets.
The various oommanderies were hearth
ly cheered from the streets and sidewalks,
but marks of appreciation were most hear
ty where evidence of superiority in military
maneuvers was apparent, and whsre par
ticularly brilliant uniforms were visible.
The bands were an attractive part of the
display, their gay uniforms and music
contributing to the entertainment fully as
much as the knights themselves, The
more remarkable features were the Orien-
tai Commandery, Of Cleveland, who escor
ted the Eminent Grand Master in his
carriage, drawn by Is horses, seven white
and six black. A very brilliant staff at
tended him. The Detroit commandery,
st. Johns. of Philadelphia. the Mount
Olive. of Erie. the Rapier of Indianapolis.
the Richard Occur de Lion of London.
Ontario. the Marine band of Washington,
9th Infantry band of Lexington, KY, and
9th regiment band of Ohio. all called out
applause. The streets were finely man.
aged, there being no interference with the
line of march. Much dissatisfaction was
expressed when it appeared that before
the line of march was completed, almost
the entire body broke anks!and went to
their tents, This was particularly unsat-
isfsctory to many thousands of people who
occupied advantageous positions in the
latter part of the line of march. for which
they had paid extravagent prices in some
cases.

DR.. SAMUEL ". JOHNSON, Professor Of
Chemistry, in the Scientific School,
Yale College, being duly sworn, testi'
fed as follows:
o You have had much to do in the ex'
animation Of substances that enter into
food, and the adulteradon of foodY
A. More or less; yes, sir.
o. After the use OF alum with soda, In
baking power, In your opinion, Is there
any injurious substance Left
A. In my opinion, there is an injurious
substance left.
q. What, sir, two years ago, was the pre-.
yaling opinion among scientific men, as TO
the effect OF the use Of alum In Baking
Powders2
a. As far as my acquaintance with
scientific men is concerned, my personal
opinion Is derived from my Investigation
and from reading; l should think the
opinion was that alum, or any compound
oil Alumina, would be decidedly injurious.
@. Do understand you 10 say that any
baking powder in which there are alum
inous salts, or any resultant from alum
which could be absorbed in digestion, IL
Objectionable and injurious?
a. Extremely SO.
Prof.. JOSEPH Il. RAYMOND called, sworn
and testified as follows:
Q. Would you be good enough to state
your profession?
A. am physician, sir, and Professor
| OF Physiology.
O. You also were, and have been fol-
some time, Sanitary Superintendent IN
Brooklyn-is not that SO?
A. have, cir.
@. Now, sir, l will ask you your. optn'
ion, from this experience, whether the use
al alum with soda, in q baking powder, is
liuiuriousor not, in It's physiological effects
A. IConsiaer it to be dangerous.
@. You examined this question for the
Board OF Health in Brooklyn, some year,
ago, did you not?
A. Two years ago, cir, in December.
Blythe Court:
@. What was the result OF your investi
cation as to the use Of alum in Baking
Powder?
A. The result Of my investigation at thai
time, was this: that THE changes which tool
place between the time that alum baking
powder was putin the bread, and the TINT
the bread was eaten, the chemical changes
were SO little understood by chemists, tha
as physician and phYsiologist, l consid
cred 1t dangerous experiment
DR.. Mott, the government chemist, 10
his review OF the subject in the Scientific
| american, makes special mention OF hay
ing analysed the Royal Baking Powder
and found 1t composed OF pure and whole
some materials. He also advises the pub
lie to avoid purchasing baking powders az
sold loose or in bulk, as he found by anal
ysis Of many samples that the worst adul
terations are practiced in this form. Th'

and responsible manufacturer, he adds, ii
