funerals were largely attended.

saved them with small loss.
NJ. G. Smiths eldest son died on Monday
evening of last week, aged about eleven
wears. This was a sudden and unexpected
DEATH caused by inflammation of the
bowels. He was inferred IN the Hamlin
cemetery. Rev. w. Mather preached the
funeral sermon, and was great uncle to the
deceased. He said the boy had written a
letter to him only a few days before his
death.

The controversy, caused by the "resolu-

School Board, brings out some interesting
facts, and in our judgment will accom-
plish about as much good as a County In

will awaken to a greater interest in the
welfare of the children in educational mat

sudden Death of Rev. Dr,
McMurray.

Last Friday evening Rev. Dr. j. s. Muir
ray, Presiding Elder of the Juniata district
preached In the Methodist Church at Lii
lysvlle, Mifllin County. Immediately after
the sermon he was seized with terrible fit
of coughing, and bursted blood-vessel.
He died in "A few minutes. His residence
was in Huntingdon and the remains were
taken there on Saturday.
He had served three years as pastor OF
the Methodist Church there prior to his APP
pointment as Presiding Elder of that dis
trc,, aud had also been Presiding Elder Of
the Altoona district, and was consequently
one II the best known preachers in the
Central Pennsylvania Conference and was
very popular in the church. His remains
were taken to Bellefontc on Wednesday,
and laid beside those of his wife. Mr.. Nc
Murray served as pastor of the NJ E.
Church of this town for several years, and
had many friends here who will learn OF

We have such Barnsley for
SI25 a yard ! The proper price
is $3.50.
Sets Of table cloths with nap

Most of our linens are made
on our orders, and made to suit
us. We have them made with
out dressing. Washing will
change them but slightly.
This is the linen school. No
doubt about it.
1t isn't so strange as people
think that we sell one-fortieth
of all the linens that come through
the Custom House.
Within our local trading cir
cult are a million-and-a-half of
people-about a fortieth part
of the population of the United
States, and more than a fortieth
part of the linen-users; for
everybody knows that more
linens are used near the centres
of population than south and
southwest. 1t isn't so much
more than our share.
Bear in mind that we buy
from the makers at home-their
homes-save every possible cent
in buying; and sell as close as
we can. There isn't another
such stock in the city. There
isn't another such stock in the
country. There isn't another
store that buys as we buy and
sells as we sell. 1t would be a
reproach to the people around
us, if we ddn't sellou full share
of the linens that come to the
country.

Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four different
kinds of baking powders, embracing all the
brands that could be found for sale in the
State, were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof c. F. Chandler, Mem
ber of the State Board and President of the
New York City Board Of Health, assisted
by Prof. Edward G. Love, the well-known
late United States Government chemist.
The official report shows that large
number of powders examined were found
to contain alum or lime many of them to
such an extent to render them seriously OBJ
iectionable for use in the preparation of
human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine samples
This drug is employed in baking powders
to cheaper their cost The presence Of
lime is attributed to the impure cream Of
tartar Of commerce used in their manufac-
ture. Such cream of tartar was also ana
lyzed and found to contain lime and other
impurities in some samples to the extent
Of 03 per cent. of their entire weight
All 'he pahihg ppWucio vi bhc iiui hcti
with the single exception of "Royal" (not
including the alum and phosphate powders,
which were long since discarded as unsafe
or inefficient by prudent house-keepers)
| are made from the impure cream of tartar
of commerce, and consequently contain
lime to corresponding extent.
The orly baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free from
| lime and absolutely pure is the "Royal."
This perfect purity results from the exclu-
sive use of cream of tartar specially refined
and prepared by patent processes of the n
Y. Tartar Co. which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and other impurities. The
cost of the chemically pure cream of tartar
is much greater than any other, and on ac-
count of this greater cost is used in no bak-
ing power but the "Royal."
| Prof. Loye, who made the analyses Of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health, as well as for the Govern
ment, says of the purity and wholesome
ness of "Royal:" :"
81 have tested a package of Royal Bak-
ing Powder which purchased in the open
market, and find it composed of pure and
wholesome ingredients. 1t is cream of
tartar powder of high degree of merit,
and does not contain either alum or phos-
pilates or any injurious substances.

The store that sells twO-and-
a-half per cent of all the linens
that come from all the countries
of Europe-there is the place
to see linens
Two-and-half per cent is an
enormous proportion. We
scanned the figures closely our
selves, though they came from
the United States Treasury
records extracted by Mr., Lorin
Blodgett, who had as Appraiser
General too many years famili-
arity with such statistics to blum
der in them.
No matter why this concen-
tration. Many curious ques-
tons might be asked about
it-more than we could answer
probably. This is certain It's
the place to see linens. That is
all we care to derive from the
fact that nobody doubts.
What sorts of linens ? The
sorts that all sorts of people
had better observation-disclosures.
Two-and-a-half per cent of the
linens used in the United States
are not sold in one store for an
unsubstantial reason. The lin
ems are there-that's certain.
Do people buy with judg-
ment Do they know what is
good Do they know what is
cheap in the long run? Some
do and some don't. Hotels
and restaurants get to know
very soon what wears; large
boarding-houses ditto. Families
learn more slowly but they
learn and many understand
the general principle.
We can't put much particu-
lar information into a single
newspaper column of easy type.
Take table-hnens. An item or
two.
We know of but a single
make of bleached table-liner
worth having that can be got fol
80 cents yard. The Irish CAM
make it nor Scotch; nor Eng
iish ; nor Belgian and only
one German so far as we know
1t is general fact that it ISM
wise to buy 50 cent table-liner
for any purpose whatever. The
lowest price at which fairly dur
able table-linens come is O.
cents. But this one German
maker sends us tons on tons o
excellent coarse and homel,
table-linens at so cents a yard
and napkins to match for SI.IC
a dozen.
The other extreme $3.50
yard is enough for the finest an,
richest. Between these tw
extremes we have gathere
