A RAILROAD CLUE HOUSE.
The Gift OF Cornelius Vanderbilt to His

4 LIE Y aNbEttbiLE CLUB hDUSE ~.
The number of railroad accidents due to
the unfltness of railroad employees through
unsteady habits will of course never be
known, get it is a well understood fact among
railroad managers that in the major part of
the accidents due to negligence, investigation
showed incidentally, though the fact was
considered hardly worthy of notice, that the
unfortunate employee 'had not been taking
proper care of himself.n
Railroad corporations have heretofore
cared little for the comfort of the:. en-
ployees. 1t is expected that they be ready to
undertake. any extra work in the way
of long runs, often without rest for DAYS.
ofsen sending them into strange towns with
out any care whether they find accommodate
hons for food or a bed to rest in, only caring
that they be on hand to take up their Journey
at the time ordered. Little wonder that men
so deprived. of proper rest and food are not
likely to be vigilant.
MIR. Cornelius Vanderbilt, recognizing all
this, Is about to provide q building for the
employees of the railroads centering in the
Grand Central depot, New York city, where
men may find recreation and rest without
running any risks among the temptations Of
the city.
This building will be sox4o feet. It will be
a substantial structure, with bath rooms, gym
nasium and bowling alleys in the basement;
reading room, library, room for games and
offices on the first floor; a large hall for
general meetings and rooms for classes
on the second floor, and rooms for
l%anitor's family and sleeping rooms
for men coming in late or detained in the
city over night, in the upper story. Our ex-
terror view of The building, drawn from the
architects plans, shows thai it will be an
neighbor to the great depot, as
wei! as an elegant resort for tho hundreds of
engineers, fremen, conductors, brakemen and
other men of the rail, who form the floating

Expose of That Pretended Public In
vestIgatIon of the Qualities OF the
Baking Powders.

1t is no new thing with the Royal Baking
Powder Company to publish in the newspa-
pers reading notice advertisements which
have the appearance of emenating from the
editors pen.
Its most recent effort is an article from the
Albany Evening Journal giving pretended
investigation as if made by the Journal of
the qualities of the baking powders. The
following from later issue of the same
paper august p, 1886 so plainly stamps the
whole thing as simply an advertising dodge
OF huge proportions that we think the public
entitled to the benefit of the expose, and ac-
cordingly give it below:
The journal has printed analyses and
reports of various baking powders as reading
notices or advertisements. 1t has not under
taken to say of its own knowledge which is
the best powder in the market. Consumers
must decide for themselves"
This piece Of ingenious advertising ON the
part of the Royal Baking Powder Company
may have had its origin in the evident dis
appoint OF that Company with its extrava-
CANT but fruitless advertising efforts to
beguile the public into believing that the
cream OF tartar used in other baking powders
contains large percentage of tartrate of
lime, when it is fact and well known to the
commercial world that all the refners who
supply this country with cream of tartar are,
and have been for long time, in a combina-
ton under an agreement between them to
produce only strictly pure, or ninety-nine
per cent, goods.
The cream Of tartar used in Cleyeland's
Superior Baking Powder is refined by a new
process which frees it entirely from tartrate
OF lime and every impurity, and is obtained
IN the pure crystals and ground in our own
factory; the bicarbonate of soda is prepared
expressly for us; and to ensure uniform and
absolute purity of our baking powder all the
ingredients are subjected to searching chem
lcal analyses and none used unless proved
to be perfectly pure.
Approaching the fact that consumers have
right to know what they are using as food,
we have for many years made known to the
public all the ingredients of our powder.
Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder is made
only of strictly pure grape cream of tartar,
bicarbonate of soda, and a small portion of
Hour used as preseryative, and does not
contain ammonia, alum, lime, acid phos-
pilates, or any adulteration whatever
Has the Royal Baking Powder Company,
with its much advertising, ever informed the
housekeepers of the country all that enters
into the composition of its powder? Or has
1t ever published word openly in defence of
the use of ammonia in baking powder?
Information on these points might enable
the public to form an intelligent opinion in
regard to the merits of this much mooted
question OF baking powder supremacy, and
we would have no misgiyings as to the
result CLEVELAND BRoTHERs

Palestine.

Alarge number of persons interested In
the study Of the Holy Land assembled last
evening in the New Jerusalem church to
listen to the Rev. S. F. Dixie, d. D., of Bos-
ton. Various maps and pictures descriptive
of Palestine added much to the interest of
the lecture. The speaker first took up the
geology of the place showing how the deep
gullies, the high lands and low lands, pro-
ducing great variety Of climate had aided
in making Palestine an ideal place for the
introduction and spreading of the gospel.
Then the speaker turned his remarks to its
geography bringing out the wonderful
change in levels from the Mediterranean to
the Dead Sea Of 1900 feet. The seas quality
OF sadness is due to the adjoining mountain
of salt, the sides of which the waters wash.
Many interesting facts were dwelt upon,
each being in its turn interesting and in
structiye. The Phoenicians have done more
for us thanany other people. They carried
their knowledge everywhere and probably
circumnavigated Africa. Considerable time
was spent in description of Jerusalem and
its surroundings. The speaker closed by
allusion to the customs and manners of the
people. 1t was a very instructive address

The Cora eta.

Mr.. David Torrey, agent of the Central
Wharf Towboat Company, writes the PRESS
that it is not true that the owner of the TUG
c. A. Warren will libel the schooner Cora
Eta for $500, the schooner which the War
rem saved from the rocks of Cape Elizabeth
last Saturday. He states that no steps have
been taken towards libelling the schooner,
nor any price fixed for the tugs services.
At the Towboat company's Office yesterday
1t was stated that it was not an uncommon
occurrence for vessels under the crcum.
stances, like that of the Cora Etta's, to leave
without paying tow bill, for their owners
were known, were responsible parties, and
| 1t often happened that vessels left withou,
paying bills, but they were settled later.
Captain Fales of the Cora Eta, writes the
PRESS that the vessel was under the com.
mand of the mate, an experienced careful
man, familiar with the harbor, that the yes.
sci just touched on the bottom and lay easy
and that the sea didn't wash over her moi
did the men have to take to the rigging and
the vessel could have lain in the position she
was in for days without damage unless q
southerly wind should rise. He says the
reason the bill for towage was not paid was
because he was told the agent lived in the
country, and the captain of the tug agreed to
meet him at the Maine Central depot-Capt
Fales having come from Rockland to see
about the yessel-but failed to put in an APP.
pearance. A survey of the vessel has been
held and she hasn't scratch, and is loading
with lime, which is proof of the fact she suf-
fered no injury.
The facts of the case really are that Ifeith-
er the Towboat company nor the Cora Eta
people are to blame for the report The re-
porter supposed, from outside information
gathered on Saturday and Sunday, that he
was giving correct version of affairs and as
it appears, was mistaken and evidently did
injustice to both parties. Neither party
wished to play sharp game on the other,
but from the report each party has misun-
derstood the other.
