HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.
To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier.
 Sir:The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,O ,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 its 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 winch 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 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- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

BULLETIN FOR CABINET OFFICERS. The following bulletin was issued for tht members of the Cabinet this morning:

The following bulletin was issued for the
 members of the Cabinet this morning: EXECUTIVE MANSION, 8 A. M My Dear Sir-The Presidents sleep last night was unbroken and hence very refresh ing This morning his pulse is 90 with nor nal temperature and respiration. He has just ordered breakfast for himself of two lamb chops with bacon, one baked potato with cream and butter rolls, etc. He took a little old port few hours ago. The sur geons found his wound looking better this morning, there being more liberal discharge of pus of a healthy nature from the deeper parts of the wound He has expressed de-
 sire to sit up and indulge in little specula- tion as to the time when he shall be allowed to leave his bed. Very respectfully, (SignedD J. STANLEY BROWN, Private Secretary. GOOD THOUGHT COMING TOO LATE. The jail was visited by about a hundred people to-day, but no one was allowed to see the prisoner Guiteau still asks anxiously after the President and says now that he hopes he will recover. The prisoner eats all that is set before him and does not let his sins brood upon him.
 A DOCTOR COMES TO THE SCRATCH After the examination Dr. Bliss says very funny incident occurred. He had been sponeinp the Presidents back and the patient asked him to scratch it. Dr. Bliss scratched it gently and finally used @ soft brush for the purpose. The President gave the usual di- rections in such cases higher" ia little lower.n sto the right" s.left, ""that's right !" etc., and seemed to have forgotten all about Dr. Bliss. Finally the manipulator re- marked, q don't mind scratching the Presi- dents back all night, but when I tire you let me know" The President smiled and grunt- ed with satisfaction, but did not heed the re- peated hints of the doctor whose hand and
 arm were almost numb. Finally said he,
 ssWen all things must have an end.' Does
 that mean stop?" asked Dr. Bliss. 'I sup pose so reluctantly replied the President smile in the doctors direction. The whole evening was passed in good humor all around but the President soon grew sleepy. A slight l anodyne was administered and at 9 o'clock he fell asleep and had not awakened at mid night. PRAYERS IN THE CHURCHES.
 In almost all the city churches to-day prayers of thanksgiving for the Presidents recovery were offered and appropriate ser mons were preached. Effective mention of the assassination and its lessons was made by Biahop Pinckney at the Immaculate church, 1 Union Town, and by Rev. Dr. Mason of De- 1 troit at the Metropolitan church at Asbury | M. E. church (colered). The people held a regular jubilee service in honor of the Presi- | dents convRlescence.
 | ENCOURAGING SYMPTOMS IN THE CASE. In accordance with the physicians' predic- I tions the President had but slight fsbrile rise | this evening and has been steadily gaining in l strength and spirits. He seemed quite anx- | ious to know when he would be able to make l trip on the Despatch. Dr. Bliss told him the physicians had been talking that over, but
