says if their appeal to the Supreme

SHE WAS NOT DEAD.
Particulars Of an Atroeious Swindlng
Scheme.

The confidence racket, old as the hills.
yet always eilicacious in the hands of a
moral AGRICULTURAL /. @. one who lives
on his wits. The last victim on whom
has been practced the scheme Is Mrs. J..
Il. Edwards, of Austin, and possibly In

ling, never has so heaTtless an instance
transpired. A. Il. Burlage, Of Austin,
whose mother Is at present residing In
this city, through the righteousness and
youth of ). Il. Wilcox, an unsophiscated
typo of the LiGuT Office, procured the
sum of SO from Mrs. l.. Il. Edwards.
The method adopted was as follows:
Burage came yesterday morning to the
LIGir Office and visited Wilcox, who Is
an old schoolmate of his, he told Will
cox that he wanted to send for some
money to Austin by telegram ana en-
ouired the number of the Office. lie
procured the number ana went TO the
telegraph office and delivered the follow
ing telegram:

mains. Georgia and mother Will come

gram is the youngest daughter OF MRS.

how that mother was Frustrated with

The money WAS promptly sent through

was sent to him personally. went
down to the bank accompanied ny q. -.
Roemer, collector of the LIGHr TO iden-
tifv. Wilcox received the money, ana
about 3:l5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Alfred Burlage again visited WILCOX ana
asked him If he lnld had any reply.
Wilcox told him the money was in his
possession. Wilcox asked Burlage to
give him Il receipt, which was done and
Hurlnge left with the money, accOmpan-
led with Wilcox to Carter Il Mulluly's
undertaken establishment. with the
ayowed intention Of purchasing collin
which he said he wanted rs cheap MS
pos,ihlc, and after examining some lie
| said he would let his mother purchase,
and he got into hack driving
! i'm the direction of Avenue ID
which was the last time Wilcox saw
him.
MIR. &. 4. Anderson telephoned for
| particulars of the death, and was sur
prised to receive intelligence that Laura
| Edwards was neither dead, nor sick. At
once suspecting 1t was swindle he
communicated with G.. w. Angle, OF this
| city, who at once proceeded to investi-
| puie the matter. Ii was PLACED in the
hands of the sheriff. who proceeded to
arrest the parties concerned, but up to
the time of writing no captures had been
effected by the county officials. Mr..
Anderson will be In san Antonio to-day
and he is determined to pursue the mat
ter to its utmost extent.
Mr.. Mcknight, whose name Burlnge
affixed to the telegram, visited the LIGIII
Office this morning, and stated he had no
knowledge of the affair, and that 1t was
forgery of his name.
1t is to be hoped that the punishment
will be meted out to the heartless and
unprinciped swindler.

Presentation Of Medals by General Stan

Government hill yesterday afternoon
presented very lively scene, the occa-
sion for the assembling Of so much
larger crowd than usual being the
awarding of the gold and silver medals
to successful competitors In marksman-
ship. The medals were presented by
General David Stanley. the Department
Commander, all the officers here being
present, both line, department and stan
officers. After the dress parade. the
presentation of the medals took place,
Lieutenant knights, who was In charge
of detachment of rifles, marched his men
before the General Commanding the De-
partment of Texas to receive the COM
mepdation for their skill in the use OF
the rifle, and the honor which they do to
the Department of Texas. In cOngratu-
lating them he hoped they would mold
the honor of their Department IN the
highest esteem and prove themselves
worthy of the confidence placed in them
by the commanding officer and prove
credit to the army ut large and Texas IN
particular. Sergeant Crawford was
then presented with the first prize,

ant Smith, General Stanleyfs aide-de-

Who Makes the Error?

Eduardo. Davilla, the Mexican OF whom
an item was written in the LIGHT that
he was arrested for beating his wife,
came to the LIGHT Office yesterday while
the reporter who wrote the item was
out and published statement saying he
did not beat his wife and that he was
not arrested. lie evidently visited and
humbugged the Evening Times in the
same manner, us that reliable paper,
without further trouble to find the real
facts, tasks the LIGIlr with having COM
mtted grave error in stating that
DavIlla beat his wife. The LIGIlT re-
porter was with officer Wilken when he
arrested Davilla at Musical rehearsal,
and took him with him to his wife's
house, and there Davilla pleaded with
his wife for 30 minutes, crying like n
baby, meanwhile, before she could con-
sent to withdraw the charge. The re-
porter, If necessary, could bring proof
that Dayilla did beat his wife and could
also prove that he does not support her,
but spends his time with other women,
while his wife has to nearly starve ana
live on charity of the neighbors to sup
port herself and two little children.

Baking Powder Trick.

All kinds Of schemes and tricks are
resorted to by unprincipled persons to
obtain unfair advantages over their
neighbors. The latest and most dishon-
est OF these that has come To our notice
il one by which certain manufacturers OF
baking powder have sought to prejudice
consumers against the use Of other
brands that have an established reputa-
tion ~ the best and purest In the mar
ket, for the purpose Of introducing their
own. Their method, we are informed, Is
to heat can Of baking powder of well
known brand over n lamp or stove,
when. II there il gas given of having
the odOr Of ammonia. the powder Is con
demned as being made of ammonia and
unfit for use. The prciudices Of the un-
suspeoting are thus excited against the
baking powder submitted to the so
called test, and the grocer who has n
quantity of Ii on hand suffers Il serious
loss IN consequence.
II the intelligent consumer will stop
moment to think, she will readily per-
csive that this test" II successful,
proves nothing but the superiority OF the
baking powder tested. The aim of all
baking powder makers is to produce an
article that shall most readily, under
use, give of its leaycnng gas. The
powder that does this with moderate
heat, ut the same time evolving the
largest quantity, is scientifically the
best.
There il probably not an article pre-
pared for food that cannot be manipu-
lated to prove that something Is wrong
about IL; and when II person goes into
Kitchen or before hOusekeeper who Is
not to be presumed to understand
chemical relations and performs an
experiment Of even the simplest charac-
ter. it is not difficult to impress one that
something awful Is the matter. AS to
baking powders. we could suggest II
dozen tests that would be as ridiculous
in giving fair idea Of their relative mer-
its to an uninslructed mind rs the one
here mentioned.
The true domestic value of baking
powder consists IN its purity, whole
someone's ana leavening power 1t is
only the chemist, with his chemical APP
planes who can determine these quail
ties scientifically and exactly. Aside
from this, the best test for u baking pow
der is TO try it in making bread, and see
which makes the most and the best. 10
this practical test all the established
brands have been put, and hOusekeepers
have very generally made up their
minds which they prefer, and the trick
sters will find ultimately that n brand
that has been Il household tavOrite for
years will not be displaced by reason of
any tricks which they may show.
