How the Rich-Gale Tragedy is Received
There-GaIe Condemned by An--Mrs
Rich's Heirs Worried.
C~OBLEsKLL, n. Y, Special Telegram, March
This town has been shaken from center
to circumference all day, owing to the hor-
rible Rich tragedy in St Paul. Rich has
been condemned on all sides for not ending
the existence of Gale before taking his own
life. Since the elopenent Rich had been on
the verge of insanity and endeavored to Dor
row money or various people to whom he
mentioned hat he intended to kill them
both if he could get to St PAUL. About ten
years ago DR.. Gale came from New York
city, opening an office first in West Full
ton, then in WarnerSYille, finally remov-
ing to CobleskilL He is a man
or line appearance ana pleasing address. He
soon had established a fine practice, but by
neglect and Carelessness he got himself into
disfavor and subjected himself to a great
deal Of severe criticism. His wife, whom he
had met and married fifteen years ago, when
she was Miss Celia Newman, living with her
parents at Staten Island, was al accomplished
and retine lady, winning the respect and
attachment Of the Cobleskill people. They
had TWO children, aged twelve and fourteen
years. When finally the husband and
father left, and the busy tongues of tie
townspeople began to wag, there was moth
ing TO do but go back TO her parents, and
so she advertised for sale all personal effects
OF value that had been left, intending to go
TO Staten Island. In the meantime, John s
Smith, Mrs Rich's uncle. was enjoying him
self in possession of his niece's property under
a power OF attorney, and Rich himself was
irving TO solve the problem of the runaway
couples whereabouts. The remains of Rich
are expected here. Mrs. Rich was wealthy,
and the question as to which of the two died
first is anxiously discussed by the heirs.

wARRENsBURG, Mo-, March 1.-Charles II.
Smith, who has been arrested here, defrauded
inhabitants OF this and adjoining counties to
the amount of 800. 600. He pretended to
nave been specially ordained by God to form
q new secret order, from which was to grow
o new and the only true religion. Accord
ingly he began establishing the order OF the
aStar of Heaven He would grant a charter
to any six persons who applied for 1t. pro-
vided each paid into the common fund $25.
Charter member pledged themselves not to
take any more than six member into a lodge,
thus allowing only twelve members of a
lodge. Then he had prophetic visions, in
which great avenues Of wealth were opened
up to him. On the basis of these visions he
induced hts dupes to mortgage their farms TO
the order. and thus it became q sort OF loan
association. The secretary had charge Of
the notes, deeds and mortgages of the lodge.
which ne turned over TO the treasurer, who
converted them into cash Smith was finan-
cial agent OF all the lodges When the lodge
| was organized the first duty of the financial
agent was 70 purchase land near some town,
| divide it into town lots, which were pur-
| chased by member of the lodge from the
| financial agent as follows: A member paid
$3.50 for e lot, one-third cash, and o note
| for the balance bearing 10 per sent interest.
and gave q mortgage on the lot. He then
got $50 of the treasurer, gave 1t and his note
for 800 to the financial agent, AMI gave the
treasurer q receipt for 800 TIL agent re-
| turned $50 to the treasurer and had the
note for 800. In this way each member
got a lot and the agent many notes OF from
300 TO $500 each. The agent sold the
notes and got rich. His VICTIMS are mum.
bered by the hundreds.

Incidents Of his useful life are very

Rod, without some abatement. His
vigorous vitality, his rich fund OF nat

his own glowing and growing interest
made him always fresh and attract,

What Baking Powder Shall We UseP

What Baking Powder Shall We UseP
This plain question comes home to
every housekeepsr. We all desire pure
and wholesome food, and this cannot be
had with the use ofimpure or poisonous
baking powder. There can be no longer
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 SO much against
what may have been some OF our house
hold gods, there can be NO gainsaying
the unanimous testimony of the official
chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to
find no baking powder entire
jectionable ingredients except the
Royal, and that they report as
chemically pure. We find some Of the
baking powder advertised as pure, TO
contain, under the tests of Professors
Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly
II per cent. of lime, while others are
made from alum with ne cream Of tar
tar. This we presume accounts for their
lack of leavening power as sometimes
complained Of by the cook, and for the
bitter taste found in the biscuits so fire.
quently complained of by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the physi-
ologists assure Us that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
as this are injurious. They are not de-
composed by heat nor dissolved in mix
ing or baking. They go with tine bread,
therefore into the stomach, where their
physiological effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia or worse evils.
The question naturally arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is three cents a
pound. lime still cheaper. while cream
OF tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The
reasons for the chemical purity of the
Royal Baking Powder were recently
given in the New York Times in an
interesting description OF new method
for refining argols, or crude cream Of tar
tar. 1t seems that it is only under 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 this cost the Royal Baking
Powder Company about halt a million
dollars, and that they maintain eXolu-
sive control of the rights. .
Prof. NcMurtrie, late chief chemist Of
the Department of Agriculture at WASH
ington, ID. c., In the interest of COM
merce, made an examination OF this pro.
cess, and reported upon the results
attained in the refined cream Of tartar.
The following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question re-
peated at the head of this article, and
which is so frequently propounded by
the housekeeper:
~ have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture of their baking
powder, and find 1t to be perfectly pure
and free from lime In any form. The
chemical tests to which have submitted
the Royal Baking Powder prove it per-
fectly hsalthful and free from every del
etsrious substance"

Topics of the Day.

There is hardly a more unique
place than Washington on the
globe, says "Gath" in a recent
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Rome resembles it some in the
concourse of strangers from every
where and the opening of many
of the palaces to these, and in the
receptions of artists, bishops, and
others. But Washington throws
open its doors to people without
any religious or special motives,
and female life here, particularly
in February and early March, is
like fair. The women start out
in the afternoon and enter the
doors of people with whom they
have the very slightest acquaint-
ance or none at all, and they drink
tea or have a little lunch, and the
parlOrs are crowded, while the
conversation rattles on without
regard to subject or end. Some
citizen is the first one visited; next
some army family next some rich
stranger, who has come here to
celebrate himself, and they drop in
at a Cabinet minister's, and thus
the sO-called social life is mere
rush, with enjOyments, no doubt,
but with more welcome and free
dom than this world has ever al
lowed before. After the women
come home to their homes or hO-
tells and dine, they go out again,
perhaps, in the evening to some
particular reception, as at the
White House, and there life is re-
peated as in the afternoon until
midnight or later. In some of
these new houses they receive
until about midnight, and then
have a ball and dance without
much regard to time. One finds
in the accounts of the French re-
public, about the period of the
Directory, similar sketches of
what the ladies call court life.
There was Barras, the patron of
Josephine, who may have turned
her over at a reception to young
BOnaparte. The little revolutions
and coup d'etas, which now and
then happened, hardly disturbed
the round of pleasure, nor was it
of much significance that a few
distinguished men were sent to-
day to the guillOtine or tomorrow
to the penal colonies on account
of their political Obstructiveness.
The social round of life in Wash
ington society is really the basis
of its revival.

THE STRIKE.
An Article nom the New York Times on
the Subject.

NEW YORK, March l6.-The Times Of
to-day has the following editorial on the
subject Of the strike:
1t seems inevitable that the effort of
the Knights of Labor to gain their point
by blockading freight on the South
western railroads will soon be exhausted.
There is little more logic in the strike
on the Missouri Pacific and its associated
lines than in the Texas boycott. The
strike was ordered, not because there
was any special grievance against the
roads, but for the purpose OF sustaining
the effort to bring the Texas and Pacific
to terms. 1t was practically boycott
against freight connections with that
line. 1t has not served the purpose of
bringing ii to terms and is not likely to
do SO. The position Of the strikers is
weakening. The engineers and fire.
men have taken part against them
and stand ready to go to work as soon as
trains can be safely run. The other en-
ployes. in stopping work, were only
Obeying orders from the organization of
knights of Labor, whose object was not
TO better their condition but to carry
point against the Texas and Pacific and
compel the reinstatement Of one man as
foreman in the shops at Marshall. 1t is
not ukely THAT tnelr ~ mpatnles were
very strongly enlisted, and 1t is probable
that many OF them would be glad of an
opportunity to resume work. The course
Of the Missouri Pacific Company has
been moderation itself Ithas even gone
beyond the limits Of reasonable moders-
ton in submitting to the blockade,
which is causing em 0arassment and
loss to many branches OF business In
order to avoid = contest with its men.
But it has had no control over the cause
of their dissatisfaction. While 1t is I'M
der the same obligation as the Texas
road TO carry the freight offered to 1t,
has offered to employ all the men neces-
sary to run its trains without discrim-
ination against the strikers and has
called upon the courts to protect its
property. The strikers have so little
ground to stand upon in continuing
their fruitless effort to coeroe one rail-
road by blockading the business of others
connecting with it, that the effort can
hardly last much longer. Its failure
will be a salutsry lesson to the Knights
Of Labor, who ought to learn that they
waste strength when they resort to IRA
tional means for attaining an object,
however justifiable the object may be in
itself.

The Pasture.

Every farmer knows the impor-
lance Of sunlight, and plenty of it,
with his growing plants. No man
would be foolish enough to attempt
to grow a crop of wheat, corn or
oats in the woods. Indeed, every
care is taken to always cut down
all the trees that in any measure
tend TO shade the fields where these
grains are grown, 1t is agreed that
grass is a patient and long-sufler-
ing plant, that will thrive better
than anything that is not actually
a weed, under the most adverse
circumstances but this is no ex-
cuse for the neglect and abuse it
often meets with. The poorest and
rockiest hillsides are set apart for
it, and even the woods are only
trimmed up a little to let in enough
light and air to encourage a spin.

makes very poor flesh, and still

to assimilate it that her flesh be.
comes as hard and stringy as
vulcanized rubber. That she knows
better than to feed upon such stuff
is very evident by her constantly
feeding in the open sunshine when
she can, and in such spots the grass
will always be noted as very short
and making a thick sod. Now take
a hint from this, and clear out all
the brush and spare trees aud add
a little manure to the bare spots,
even if you have to buy. Sow
more see Is on the snow, and pick
up the rocks to give more room for
the grass to grow. Now is a good
time to do the tree trimming and
seed sowing, before the rush of
work begins in the spring.-Ameri-
