HECKER,S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand 75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with, a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- icaIly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

 CINCINNATI Oct. 2.-The Commercial to day over his editorial initials published the result of MT. Ha1stead's interview with President Arthur in New York yesterday. He says President Arthur asked him to say he felt great interest in Fosters election as Gov ernor of Ohio, and goes on to say: "It is not true that President Arthur is in New York to exert influence upon the contests going on in this State. He is not in the least occupied in them. He is not very well, having 8 se- were cold, which while he was in Washing ton was very near resulting in an attack of pneumonia He is getting over it and re- turns to Washington on Monday.

! A Quiet Sunday-On1y One Cabinet Oh- ! cial at Washington-Guiteau Coming Tria1-Other Matters.
 l WASHINGTON Oct. 2-This has been the
 most quiet Sunday Washington has seen since 1 last June. Neither the President or any ! member of the Cabinet save one is here. Sec retary Kirkwood is resting from his journey and will be at his office in the Interior de pertinent tomorrow. Intimate friends of the President do not expect him back before Wednesday. Private Secretary Brown was at the White House for while to-day, but says he knows nothing of the plans of the President The White House will not be ready for occupancy under six weeks. Mean while the President, it is thought will set up his establishment at the Butler mansion on Capitol Hill, and it is not unlikely that some arrangement will be made to keep that for 8 White House only for an office. It is vel,
 known that President Arthur has ordered a
 French cook to come on from New York and take charge of the culinary department at
 Senator Jones' residence.
 The perspective interest of the week is di-
 vided between the arraignment of Cult eau and the possibility Of further developments
 in the Star route cases. The grand jury meets
 tomorrow. AS the assassin's case comes first a speedy indictment is expected and his arraign-
 ment will follow at once. The best element of citizens in the District now think Guiteau can be brought from jail to plead without personal danger. AS the time draws near the assassin grows more nervous. He is exceed ingly anxious to see his counsel, Scoville. who will reach here on Tuesday. No immediate le- gal developments are expected in the Star route cases, although interesting new facts are promised before long.
 King Kalakaua and party left for the West this afternoon. Scarcely score of people were at the depot when the train left.
 Senator Ingalls, said today that the Repub- ican policy in the extra session of the Senate would be to avoid the intrusion of anything that would prolong the session. The Repub- icans, however, intend to insist on three new Senators being sworn in before the pre- siding officer is elected under the establish ment of a rule similar to the House rule, this to give each side an equal chance for quorum.

No reference was made to the accession of Mir. Arthur to the Presidency or to President Garield's death President Arthur was not present. His son and daughter, however, occupied the family pew.
 It is understood that President Arthur will leave the city Tuesday for Washington, his desire being to be away from New York when the State convention meets. As the prospects go the anti-Conklingltes will organ ize and control the convention. It is ex- tremely doubtful whether Oonkling will be present when the delegates assemble.
