! purchased in this city package OF Prof.
Horsford's Self Raising Bread Preparation
and submitted 1t to a chemical examination,
and find that the same is composed Of pure
and nOn-poisonous chemicals.
The idea of Prof. Horsford was indeed
grand one in supplanting the indigestibls tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread. and the bone-producing elements of
nature.
1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

the late celebrated chemist, Prof. Baron V.
Liebig. to this preparation in saying: II con-

The sieaI FesttYaI at Worcester.

WORCESTER, Sept. 21.-The first day of the festival of the Worcester county Musical as- sociation has been most successful, both as regards the fine weather and the large at tendance at the concerts. There are many strangers in town, including many well known musicians. The Boston and New York papers are well represented by their critics. The afternoon concert was a mis cellaneous one, introducing as soloists Mile Pyk. and w. c. Baird and Miss Botsford, violinist.. The rest of the programme was made up of orchestral selections, the most important of which was Brahams symphony in minor. The concert did not rise above a moderate degree of merit and neither of the vocalists made a great impression. Bruch's 'tArminius" was given in the even ing, the soloists being Mme. Cole and Messrs. Merkredge and Prehn. The latter was the best of the soloists. The chorus, barring a few slips, was sung magnifcently.

 LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Australian maiA brings the news that the German gunboat Albatross recently opened fire upon the natives of the New Hebrides out of revenge for their murder of Klein and Cullen.

 A man who had heard of the chestnut bell and never saw g type writer went into law office in this city yesterday to consult with his attorney on -a matter of business. A meek young man with type writer was dili- gently at work in a corner of the room.
 1T don't see any other way out of the mat ter than to bring him into court and make him show cause," said the client, after he ran over the details of the case
 Ding went the little bell on the type writer as the line was finished. The client looked dagge1s at the meek young man in the cor her.
 ''As said before," the client went on, 'I hate to go to law, because hate notoriety but there is no use talking, this blasted scoun- drel has made me heap of trouble and ought to pay tor it."
 fEQuite so," said the attorney, replying to the last remark of his client.
 "You know that I'm the last man in the world to make trouble for Ieighbor unless 1 am the abused party,' the client was saying, when the tinkling chime on the type writer sounded the alarm again.
 ''That man is born idiot'' the client said angrily, alluding to the youthful operator of the type writer.
 e'Well, if he is," said the attorney, "we'll show him up in court, you may be sure" ''I didn't say anything about that idiot being brought into court," said the irate client, "and if I thought you would bring him there I'd hire another lawyer. Pm sur prlsed you have such fool in your office. "My dear sir," the lawyer said, not catch ing the drift of the comment, "what are you talking about. We can't sue him unless he comes into court, or at least giving him the chance to come"
 All this while the legal folios were running of the machine under the delft manipulation of the meek young man. 'You may think this funny" the client l said angrily as he arose, just in time to be saluted by the merry stroke of the bell. At this he fairly fumed ''Ive got through with you fellows once for all," he cried. "You are damn lot of pettifoggers any way, who are only fit to play hop scotch or ring chestnut bell" Not until then was the situation clear to the puzzled lawyer, who, when once enlightened, easily explained the mistake. The papers in the case will be served in day or two.

GoULD,s CAREER OF GUILT.

A Living Hypocrtte Within He Alp.
 pears All Fair and Honest to the out
 side World.
 PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 21.-The friends of Defaulter William E. Gould expect that he will be tried, convicted and imprisoned, but there is report that he will show, if forced to do so, that he has been 8 Ward in the case "He will not," said one of his friends this morning, "make 8 confession of his criminal transactions unless he is put on the stand, then he will tell the truth. If forced to do so he will show that he had partners in his speculative ventures and that they re- ceived, to put it mildly some thousands of dollars profit" It is safe to say that MT. Gould will be given an opportunity to tell his story from the witness stand and that if he has sensation to reveal he will have the fullest chance to reveal it. There are rumors also that MT. Gould is Ward to other par ties. There is story that he received of a lady $27, ,000 to invest and there are said to be other cases of the same kind Of course, until MT. Gould breaks his silence and gives to the public the full story of all his somewhat remarkable series of financial transactions, rumors will be started and believed both for and against him, and it is not probable that he will break that silence before he is called to give evidence in his own case. If he has been doing private banking business on his own hook it will make the loss fall upon private individuals instead of upon the bank. It seems to be fact that there had been a l deep-seated distrust in MT. Gould and his methods. Many business men declined fur l ther dealings with him and yet his associates | in the bank, who apparently must have known the feeling existed, seemed to have never seriously suspected him. "He was a good talker and so talked all around the directors" is the way one man put it. This l may be so, many think, but it is true that 1 many persons must have known that Gould l was 8 very bold speculator. A gentleman | this morning recalled the fact that on the morning following the sentence of Ferdinand ! Ward Mr. Gould was en route to deliver a religious address and taking from his pocket l a morning paper bitterly denounced writer
 for questioning the justice of Wards sen
 tence. He declared that no punishment | could be too severe for the man who like
 Ward betrayed such a trust, nor for the man
 who questioned that punishment. In the
 course of his address MT. Gould, who
 took for his text the words "Be ye
 steadfast," referred to Ward and tc
 his great sin in having betrayed great
 trust. MT. Gould made really powerful
 plea for return to old fashioned standards
 governing business transactions and fol
 stricter commercial ethics and at that very 1 time, it is noy known, he had betrayed hlf
 great trust and had appropriated many thou l sands of dollars not his.
 The directors of the bank with their ex
 pert and United States Examiner Wlswel
 worked all day over the books, but Governo
 Robie said this afternoon that nothing hat been discovered to materially change thu | figures heretofore given out

A Dog f1ght i'm a Turkish Bath.


 In the basement of large bnilding on Wabash avenue, Chicago, there is modest little Turkish bath establishment. The street is dark, but a bright light shines from the basement. Before it there is glass sign reading "Open all night" This fact is made necessary by the peculiar character of the patrons of the place. They are confined ex- clusiyely to actors, newspaper men, men about town, and men ofsporting procliyities. This resort was the scene of novel enter tainment one night last week. There were on the couches two actors, whose names are household words all over the United States, we'll known lawyer, sporting man, whose weakness is for dogs, and several men about town. The dog man made dogs the subject of the conversation. One of the actors knew something about dogs, and very soon there was heated controversy over the relative merits of the dog mans brindle bitch Nellie and certain Milwaukee purp. The dog man finally boasted that Nellie could whip any thing within 800 miles of Chicago.
 t'I'll bet yon hunded," said the rotor, ''there is dog right in this town that can knock yours out.''
 Ire upshot of was the dog man and the actor were soon dressed, two cabs were order ed, the amount of the wager was put in the
 
 soon on dog hunt. Within an hour both had returned. The dog man led Nellie by short-haired who keeps saloon on West strap and the actor was accompanied by Madison treet. The latter was followed by a short legged white terrier. In the mean time the plug had been pulled in the swim ming bath of the establishment When the water had been run out there was pit about twenty feet long and ten feet wide, five feet deep on one end end and seven at the other. The doors were barred and into this pit the dogs and their. handlers were put, while the small but distinguished party of spectators ranged themselves along the edge. The bat tie that ensued was one worth going miles to see. Everything was conducted quietly-as quietly as dog fight could be. The beasts chewed and tore each others flesh for fully fifty minutes. The dogs seemed very evenly matched, and both were terribly punished Finally Nellie turned tail and refused to take furtheir punishment. The signs of battle were speedily removed, the water again turn ed into the bath, and the bathers enjoyed several bottles opened by the victorious &C.,
