At the State Museum.

The was goodly number of visitors at the
State Museum, yesterday, the news having gone
abroad that Prof. Collett, the most eminent geol-
ogist Indiana has ever had, has been superseded
and that his rare collection will be removed in a
few days. The State Museum will be a wretch
edly poor affair after Prof. Collett takes away
his private collection, which is variously valued
at from So 600 to $4,000, but which. it is safe
to say, could not be replaced for $780, 000 nor, in
deed for any amount of money. His is the
largest. most perfect and complete collection of
Indisna arch@ologic specimens ever got together
and those who wish to see his relics of the
Mound builders had better go early in order to
escape disappointment There is now great in
terest manifested on the subjects of archaeology
and geology by the teachers and children in the
city schools, and the loss of this collection from
the Museum will be seriously felt, not only by
the State at large but by these learners in par
ticular

Baking Powder Tramus.

The danger to the public health from the in
discriminate use of the many lime and alum bak-
ing powders of commerce has been fully ex-
posed that everybody desires to avoid them As
''forewarned is forearmed," housekeepers will
thank for apprising them of the special efforts
at present being made to dispose of such powders
in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some of the worst of these
powders are now going from house to house try
ing, by means of trick or so-called test, with
heat and water, to show that their article is as
good as the Royal Baking Powder, making the
comparison with this brand because everybody
recognizes it to be absolutely pure and whole
some the object, of course being to supply their
own goods in place Of the Royal, which house
keepers have for so many years relied upon to
puff up the morning biscuit, and to make the
light, paatable and wholesome roll, cake and
pastry for which it is famous
The housekeeper will do well to be on her
guard against these baking powder tramps
Every intelligent person knows that any goods
peddled from house to house in this manner, or
that are given away in samples, or sought to be
introduced by secretly traducing the character
of other goods well known to be pure and re-
liable, have no merits of their own, and have
failed to find purchasers through legitimate
means.
We are informed, as matter of fact, that one
of these tramps is trying to introduce powder
that has been found by the government chemist
to be SO per cent. lime, while the other ped
dies powder that is 20 per cent. alum-one
powerful caustic the other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to de-
ceive any intelligent person. The housekeeper
who has used her Royal Baking Powder ever
since she discarded cream of tartar and soda,
knows more aboutits qualities than all the tramps
in the country can teach her. The crucial test
to which she has put the Royal Baking Powder
the test of actual and successful work In the
preparation of pure and wholesome food, under
which it has never failed-is entirely satisfac-
tory to her. She has always had good luckn
bread, biscuit and cake and has placed it, to
stay, at the head of her housekeeping favorites
She knows that it has been officially approved
by the government chemists as the best, and we
imagine that the baking powder tramp who at
tempts to supplant its place in her confidence
will find this a bad year for his business.

Congressman and the Correspondents.

New York Graphic.
The average member of Congress regards
newspaper correspondent at Washington with
some awe, mixed with suspicion. If it were not
for the correspondents, the life of congressman
would be comparatively easy one. He would
then put through many jobs and steals as he
liked, knowing that his constituents would
never be bit wiser The sight of dozen argus
eyed newspaper men in the press galleries has
often Killed many promising steal 1t is a we'll
known fact that an Infamous job would easily
command enough votes to pass it if the fatal
ayes and nays were not called Any but an ap
preparation bill can be passed rising VOTE
which is vote wherein the members rise and
are counted like sheep, and the journal only an
nounces the fact that there are say 25o voted
in the affirmative and seventy five in
the negative Amidst the excitement and
hustle of a rising vote men know they are not
seen and that their part in the job cannot be
proven by the records of the House. When this
trick is resorted to. however, the newspaper cor
respondents are all eyes and pencils. If they
could only be cleared out the schemers would
rest content, but when man journalist
glazing down at him with pencil in hand to re-
cord his vote on the job his heart often fails him
and the bill is lost Once or twice tricks have
been resorted to to get the newspaper men cut Of

between two members in the corridors or wait
ing until something exciting occurs in the Sem
ate. when only one or two correspondents will
remain in the gallery a force inadequate to over
awe the House 1t is not the leaders Of the jobs
who are afraid of the correspondents eye, but
the simple country member who wants to make
a little money on the sly and yet preserve the
outward appearance of a patriot.

Ignatius Donnelly's Cipher Theory in Connec
ton with the Controversy.
Washington Special to st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Washington Special to st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Ignatius Donnelly is engaged in his leisure
while in Washington. in writing his forth
coming book on the Shakespeare Bacon contro-
versy. He claims to have discovered, running
through the plays, cipher history of the times
in which they were written, the real secret of
Bacon's authorship and of Shakspeare's con-
view with Your correspondent says that his at
tention was drawn to the subject by boy g
Own Book that was given one of his sons. In
this book was chapter on ciphers, and an allu-
sion to what Bacon had written about them.
Taking down his Bacon, he found that
the philosopher showed a preference
for cipher of words, and laid down
secret story is unfolded by q larger body of
words, holding quintuple relation to the writ
ing unfolded, omnia per omnia.' Said Mr.. Don
nelly: Bacon was man of secretive nature.
After Queen Efzabeth's death, when he was ad-
vanced to the chancellorship of England by
King James, in that capacity, and all through
his life previous, he had had occasion to use a
cipher IN his government correspondence. In
those times letters were intercepted. and not
only suspicious language, but that which bore
any signs OF mystery would endanger the
writer's safety. Bacon was an expert in ciphers,
and IN the very year that the Shakspearean
plays appeared revised with the cipher inserted
in the folio edition, Bacon published his
De Augmentis,' which contained an ex-
haustive treatise on ciphers. Thus the puzzle
and the key appeared together, but no one
opened the secret In studying the subject
merely with historical evidence, it occurred to
me that possibly Bacon had made some refer
ence TO his authorship in a cipher woven in the
text OF the plays, and, with this in view, be-
gan rereading them, and found that they We're
from beginning to end, one marvellous mosaic
