The Tennessee q Debt.

NASHVILLE, July 6.-The Tennessee
debt is again a subject of discussion among
New York capitalists and plans are being
considered for recovering the face value Of
the outstanding obligations. the state not
being willing to accept any compromise.
Since the rejection of the 60 cents and s
per cent. proposition of 1877 the syndicate
of Tennessee bOndholders which controls
about So, 900, 900 on the bonds decided to
risk lawsuit with the railroads. They
were not discouraged by the adverse de-
cision from the United States SUI
preme court recently, but have struck
upon another plan by which they
hope to realize more than the state proposes
to pay. 1t is proposed by the syndicate to
have congress appropriate all the surplus
federal revenues to the risk of the states, it
being provided that any due and adjudicated
or undisputed claim against any state may
be filed with the treasurer for payment be
fore the fund is distributed to such state.
Fhe government owns S125, 900 of bonds,
and as no effort has been made by it to COM
pfDmise with the state. the syndicate be-
iieves the government will be disposed to
favor the plan. TwO-thirds of the July in
terest on the state debt has been paid, and the
rest will be paid as soon as the coupons are
presented. Up to the present time nearly
One-half of the debt of S2S, 900, 600 has been
funded at 80 cents, with per cent. inter

HouaekeepinE Posts.

A band of confidence operators, with
brand-new scheme, has been let loose in
this vicinity to prey upon and annoy our
housekeepers. The operators are generally
women, although employed and directed by
an agent of the other sex, and their method
of procedure, as explained by several ladies
who have been victimiZed, is as follows:
These women call at private residences and
vancouver to get access to the kitchen,
where they introduce the subject of baking
powders, inquiring the kind used in the
family. Being shown the can, perhaps
fresh, full one, they volunteer to test it
to ascertain its qualities. Their test"
consists in placing the can on a hot stove or
over a lamp or gas jet. If the baking
powder is good for anything the heat will,
of course, eXpel the gas, which, being am
moniaeal or carbonic, is apparent to the
sense of smell. The claim is then made
that this Odor indicates something detri-
mental, although, as a matter of fact, a
baking powder that would give off no gas
when subjected to heat would be without
leavening power and valueless. Circulars
are left with the housekeeper condemning
the brand of baking powder tested, and
putting forth the claims Of some other
brand as the ''only pure" ETC.; or the new
baking powder is offered for sale, or orders
are taken for it to be turned over TO the
family grocer.
Were this the whole of the trick, house
keepers would not often be deceived.
Every intelligent person knows that baking
powder is not made to be used in this way.
but in mixture of -four and water, where
its action is entirely different from that pro
duced by dry heat. But the chief object of
this jugglery is to destroy the baking
powder given for testing; or by heating it
10 drive OFF its leayening gases, and so
weaken it that when used it will fail to
work. At the next baking there is heavy
food, of course, and the tramp" probably
gets the credit of having told the house
keeper valuable fact, instead of having
spoiled her baking powder, as was actually
the case. The average tramp" will, in
this way, destroy from fifty to seventy-ive
pounds of baking powder day.
A second method of spelling for use the
| baking powder in a kitchen where they are
not permitted to experiment with it, is by
dextero1sly throwing in the can small
quantity Of salt, soda, or powdered lime.
Again, should there chance TO be no baking
powder in the house, the operators will pro-
duce, of the kind used by the family, a
sample that has been purpOsely adul-
terated or ''dOctored" TO make such an eX-
hibit as they desire under the so-called test.
The only way to protect our food from
being contaminated by trampS of this kind
is TO turn all persons who wish or attempt
to tamper with it unceremoniously from
the door, and to use those articles, only,
which experience has proved satisfactory,
or the official tests have established as pure
and wholesome.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Judge Lawrence
to-day, in supreme court, rendered decis-
ion, in the suit of the Land Company of
New Mexico, Limited, against Stephen B.
Elkins and Others, denying motion to
continue an injunction which restrained
ElkinS from transferring to any other party
any portion of the Mora tract of land, in
New Mexico. This suit was brought by
the company to establish its title to one
fifth interest in the land known as the
Mora grant. 1t is alleged that
Elkins, with T. n. Darling, Thomas
B. Citron, Paul Butler and L.
Rush Spencer, became interested in
the Mora tract, comprising S27, 600 acres. The
title was taken in the name of Elkins to
hold for the benefit of all parties, neither of
whom was to sell his individual share ex-
cept by the consent of the others. The
company claims to have derived a title TO
one share by advancing So, 600 to one Black
more of London who had purchased the
interest of one of the original five. The
company charged that Elkins had, by suits
in New Mexico, acquired a title to more than
twO-thirdS of the property and was seeking
in the same way to absorb the remainder,
and that while these suits were pending he
had railroad run through the lands, had
sold privileges for cutting timber to the ex-
tent of $500, 900 and threatened to sell the
land at 20 cents an acre, which was far be-
low its real value. Mr.. EllSinS claimed to
have become rightfully possessed of the
land and denied any wrong intent. The
court held that a case was not made out for
the granting of an injunction ''penditO

The Champions Dined.

A complimentary supper was rendered to
the st. Paul Lacrosse club by John f.
Smith at the Commercial cafe last evening
The supper table was deliberately decorated
with ornaments designed by the caterer ex-
presSly for the occasion. In the center the
championship cup was set filled with sweet
flowers, which lent delightful perfume to
the dining-room. The courses were six in
number, and each one present did justice
to what was laid before Thin. After the
supper was served the president, DR..
Macdonald, spoke of the manner in which
the st. Paul club had dOwned the Chicago
and Of its noble efforts TO retain the
championship. He thanked Mr.. Smith i'm
behalf of the club for the practical way in
which he showed his appreciation of the
clubs success. Mr.. Smith was next called
on and he expressed his delight in having
all the members present, and said he would
be pleased TO do the same thing over again
if st. Paul won three stTaights from the
next club it played with. After this songs
were sung, toasts were offered and all made

burglars ON 8Iuff street.

Early yesterday morning William Lin
deke's residence, a Bluff street, was burg
larized and a quantity of jewelry stolen,
including two gold watches and chains
valued at $500. The police were notified
of the affair and the detective force set to
work on the case. Detective Dan O'Con-
nor was dispatched to Minneapolis. Be
fore he had been there long he, with De
tective Quinlan, got track of the man
wanted. and before 2 O'Clock they had him
under lock and key. He gives the name of
Milo Farwell. 1t was learned that he
attempted TO dispose of the watches
and afterwards expressed them to another
part of the state. A dispatch to the express
messenger stopped the parcel at st. Paul
and the watches were accordingly recovered.
Farwell, it appears, is the man who burg
lariZed Col. Griggs' residence a few days
ago. When arrested he was wearing the
pair of shoes stolen from Mr.. Griggs' house.
The jewelry taken at that time will proba-
bly, be recovered. Farwell was brought to
st. Paul by Detective 0COnnor and was
locked up in the city hall last night. He
is evidently an old hand at the business and
his arrest was unquestionably good cap

Thought TO be INSANE.

Henrietta Mann will be examined in pro-
bate court to-day on the charge of insanity.
Henrietta is a woman of considerable repu-
tation, gained principally bucking by the
law. Some time ago. she married a man
named Steege, but afterward gave him the
icy shake for one Jacob Mann. Steege
waited till she had married Mann and then
had her arrested for bigamy. She was
tried and sent over the road for two years.
When released few months ago she stood
forth as another witness willing 10 verify
the assertion that ''stone walls do not a
prison make" Finding Mann still con-
slant she proceeded to procure a divorce
from Steege, and not long since she was
again united to Jacob Mann. The excite
ment and worrY of the last three years. it
is thought, have affected her mind, so her
case has been submitted TO Judge McGrorty

TO SECURE CLEAN WHEAT.
A Circular from the State Farmers
Alliance.

George w. Sprague and George w.
Haigh, president and secretary of the Min
nesota State Farmers alliance, have issued
circular letter relative to the system of
'.dockage," as it has been practiced in Min
nesota for the past few years. After stat
ing the opinion that the system is per-
ncous and indorsing the action taken by
the railway commissioners, the letter con-
tinues:
1t is a system that prevails in no other
state in the Union but Minnesota, the finest
wheat country In the world, and which wheat
commands the highest price III the world.
l. The farmer gives the offal away.
. He hauls it 10 the country market free.
g. He pays freight on ii from the country
markets to the terminal or shipping point.
say st. Paul, Minneapolis or Duluth. A cal
culation made recently reveals the fact that
we have paid freight on about fifteen million
pounds of dirt the past year to Minneapolis
alone, saying nothing about Duluth or st.
Paul.
4. 1t is based upon Il system of "guess
work" and common sense win tell us that
when the buyer or elevator man guesses
against the farmer as TO the amount of dirt
in his load Sf grain, in 80 eases out of 100 the
buyer is going to make himself safe, and ii
possible more than safe.
Now what we wish TO impress upon tho
farmer is TO ever bear this in mind, if we can
not completely carry out system of reform,
and market clean grain, let us get it as clean
as we can. Let every farmer see to it that
each threshing machine has its sieve screens
OH, and insist. that this shall be done, and
fatty and positively refuse to employ any
thresher who has not his screen so attached
and once so attached see that il is kept clear
and free and not clogged up, and thus become
useless; also have the screenings thrown bacl
from time to time into the machine, and thus
afNf limo or
A united and combined effort on the par
of the farmers will bring about this result
and will, we think, enhance the value of hi
grain, and we know reduce the volume of dir
which he hauls to market free and pay
freight on to the railroad companies.

who Will Succeed Augur.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July Ga dispatch from

that Gen. Miles will succeed Gen. Augur as
commander of this departments not credited
in the best-infOrmed military circles, where
it is believed that Col. Ayers of the Second
artillery, who will be promoted to briga-
dier generalship on Augur's retirement, will
not be assigned to the command until Gen.
Pope retireS next spring, when there will be
a change around, when Eeither Crook, Terry
or Howard will get the major generalship
and be assigned to this department. 1t is
not at all likely that there will be any gem
