Mrs. Druse, the Husband Murderer, Will
Hang.
ALBANY, December 23-Governor Hill
has decided to let the law take its course
in the case of RoXalana Druse, the muir
deress. He has, however, granted her a
reprieve until February 2Sth, on which
day she will be hanged, unless the Legis-
lature meanwhile alters the law of capi-
tai punishment so far as it affects women.
The decision of the Governor was made
public Yesterday afternoon. He points
out that the defendant had fair trial be-
fore an impartial jury, and was found
guilty of murder in the first degree for
the crime of killing her husband, VIM.
Druse. He calls attention to the fact
that the conviction was affirmed by both
the Supreme Court and the Court of APP
peals, and then he recapitulates the cir
cumstances of the murder.

Iday character, as they usually do at this
time; and we cannot expect any consider
able revival of speculation from abroad be-
fore the new year is well started. The day
has been a very quiet one, and without any
special feature The bears have made Occa-
sional attacks on one or two stocks, evil

new weak spot upon which TO form a basis
for a fresh raid but the better class of Sc
curities hold their own pretty well. As we
have said before we do not expect any great
activity before the new year has set in. The
tendency of prices in dull market is always
a sagging-off one, and we have such "a state
of things for fortnight to come Advices
from London. however, are satisfactory, and
there does not seem To be much apprehen-

STATEMENT.
ATLANTA, GA, January Y, 1885.

,NA'y january IL, 1882.
Emerging from a severe and long spell of ty-
phOid fever, l discovered that the fever had set
tied in my right leg, which caused it to swell to
an enormous size, remaining so quite three
years, resisting all treatment. A small ulcer
finally made its appearance a little above the
ankle which refused to heal to any and all ex-
ternal application and the use of the most noted
blood poison remedies.
The ulcer continued to enlarge, frequently dis.
charging, perhaps, as much as a cupful of pus or
matter per day. The size of the ulcer was about
two inches in diamter, extending to a depth
near the bone. At one time it appeared that
the flesh in all contiguous parts, would surely
become a running sore, as its peculiarly fabby,
spotted and unhealthy condition clearly indlca.
ted, and it was intimated that l might lose my
leg. My condition becoming so critical, and the
ulcer charging so rapidly, we sent for DR.. J.P
DromgOOle, who made a thorough examination
and said that the flesh on my leg for six inches
around the sore would soon slough off if not
remedied; that l must have my leg bandaged
daily and commence the use of B. B. B.
l acted according TO his instructions, and
after using the second bottle the ulcer looked
fresh and healthy and commenced healing. |
continued to use B. B. B., and to the great as
constituent and satisfaction of myself and
friends the ulcer continued to heal rapidly and

What Baking Powder Shall we Use.
This plain question comes home to
every ~honsekeeper. We all desire pure
and whOlesOme food, and this cannot
be had with the use Of impure or
poisonous baking powder. There can
be no longer a question that all the
cheaper, lower grade Of baking powders
contain either alum, lime or phosphate
acid. As 10th as we may be to admit
50 much against what may have been
some Of our household goods,
there can be no g%ainsaying the
unanimous testimony Of the Of
Hcial chemists. Indeed, analysts
seem to find no baking powder entire
~ free from some one Of these object.
ionable ingredients except the Royal,
and that they report as chemically
pure. We find some Of the baking
powders advertised as pure, to contain,
under the tests Of Profs. Chandler,
Habirshaw and others, nearly twelve
per cent. Of lime, while others are
made from alum with NO cream Of tar.
tar. This, we presume, accounts for
their lack Of l~eavening power as some
times complained of by the cook, and
for the bites taste found in the bis
cults so frequently complained of by
ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority Of the
work done by these powders, the phys
biologists assure us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quanti-
ties as this are injurious. They are
not decomposed by heat nor dissolved
in mixing or baking. They go with
the bread, therefore, into the stomach,
where their physiological effects are in
digestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why
do these cheap baking powder makers
use these things? Alum is three cents
q pound, lime still cheaper, while
cream Of tartar costs ehirty-ive or
forty. The reasons for the chemical
purity Of the Royal Baking Powder
were recently giAen in the New York
Times In an interesting description of
a new method for refining argOls, or
crude cream Of tartar. 1t seems that
it is only und this process that cream
Of tartar can be freed from the lime
natural to it and rendered chemically
pure that the patents and plant for
cost the Royal Baking Powder
Company about half q million dollars,
and that they maintain exclusive CON
troll of the rights.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist
Of the department of agriculture az
Washington, D. c.. in the interests of
commerce, made an examination of
this process, and reported upon the re-
attained in the refined cream of
tartar. The following extract from
his report would seem to answer the
question repeated at the head of the
and which is so frequently pro.
pounded by the housekeeper:
II have examined the cream of tar
used by the Royal Baking Powder
Company in the manufacture Of their
powder, AID lind it to be per-
fectly pure, and free from lime in any
form. The chemical tests to which l
have submitted the Royal Baking
prove it perfectly healthful,
and free from every deleterious sub.
