Judges, lawyers, doctors, manufacture
ers and merchants were largely repre-
scented, as well as the leading society
ladies and gentlemen of the city. The

in the shops and at the firesides.
Another large audience greeted Mrs.
Meriwether and Mrs Saxon tonight.
During their stay here the Montgom-
cry County Colored Alliance was or

officers: Mrs. H. +. Dibble, presi-
dent; Mrs. w. G. Donaldson, vice

FOrty-TwO Moves.

New ORLEANS, La, March 1.-The
chess contest between Zukertort and
Steinitz was resumed this afternoon.
Zukertort, having the first move, chose
the white. The game was the double
Ruy Lopez, knight opening, and
throughout the early part was a regu-
lation ''book game" On his sixteenth
move, Zukertort secured posi-
ton, which evidently disconnected
Steinitz, who became very restless,
but he managed in subsequent moves
to overcome his antagonist sadvantage,
and after forty-two moves had been
made by each, Zukertort resigned.
Zukertort's playing time was one hour
and twenty-five minutes, Stencils
two hours and thirty-nine minutes.
Zukertort suffered from insomnia last
night, and complained of not feeling
well to-day in consequence The con
test will be resumed Wednesday at |
o'clock pm.

Mrs. Gray's Boycott.

Mrs. Gray, the owner of "A bakery
in New York City, has been boycott
ted, but it seems that the boycott
is proving godsend to her. This
is what the New York Times says
the influence has been;
"The boycotters set out to compel
Mrs. Gray to do two things: & To
force her workmen to join the union /;
and (2) to pay fine of $25 for
disobedience to the orders of the
union The result of their opera
tions for the first week has been to
make Mrs. Gray's bakery known and
famous from Eastport to San Fran
cisco; to increase her sales far be-
yond their former volume; to enroll
among her daily customers a large
number of wealthy men and women
who never bought bread of her be
fore; to secure for her large mum
Der of standing orders, accompanied
by cash, to send daily supplies of
bread to various charitable institu-
tions; and to enlist for her the active
sympathy of several hundred thou
sand American men and American
women who read with increasing in
terest and satisfaction the newspaper
reports of her successful resistance
to the boycott"

1t is estimated that there are ut
the present time between 10000 and
10000 logs in the Elk river boom.
This will make at least 100000
feet of lumber, board measure. Out
side of the logs in the boom, at least
that many, if not more, came down
Elk river in RATS. The amount of
lumber and timber received at this
point in the Elk river alone, on the
recent rise in that stream, is valued
at several hundred thousand dollars.
1t is only a question of short time
when the numbering interest to this
particular section of our State, will
in itself amount to an immense bus
mess, Taking the Gauley and the
Elk rivers, there is at the lowest es-
innate several thousand million feet,
board measure, of valuable woods,
such as walnut, cherry, ash, poplar,
pine, &c. According to the Govern
ment reports on lumber it will take
less than ten years to consume or
use mp nearly all the white pine in
the United States. Taking this fact
into consideration, would it not be
well for those interested in lumber
ing to give some attention to this
portion of West Virginia. which is
almost virgin forest Charleston
Star.

lands Inauguration. Her father
was for many years Mr. Cleveland
law partner, and died Of a foil from

one time. but lost his fortune in an
unlucby speculation just before his
death. The current report in Buff
falo is that Mr.. Henry w. Box, the
prominent corporation lawyer, was
the gentleman Mr.. Platt referred to
as having received the information

that President Cleveland generously
contributed the means necessary to
defray the expenses of his future

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
the, leave in bread, biscuit, or cake
raised by them disagreeable, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use of
all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing
alum introduced to make cheap
article), by the impure and adulter
ated character of other ingredients
used, or from the ignorance of their
manufacturers of the proper methods
of combining them. These baking
powders leave in the bread residu-
um formed of lime, earth, alum, or
other deleterious matters, not always,
though frequently, tastable in the
food, and by all physicians classed
as injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this seri-
Gus defect. In its use no rcsiduum
is left. and the loaf raised by it is
always sweet, light and wholesome,
and noticeably free from the pecu-
liar taste complained Of The rca-
son of this is because it is composed
of nothing but absolutely pure ma
tcrials, scientifically combined in
exactly the proper proportions of
acid and alkali to act upon and de-
stroy each other, while producing
the largest amount Of rising power.
We are justified in this assertion
from the unqualified statements
made by the Government chemists,
who after thorough and exhaustive
tests recommended the Royal for
Governmental Use because Of its SUI
periarity over all others in purity,
strength and wholesomencss. There
is no danger Of bitter bread or his
cult where il alone is used.

A National Penitentiary.

DR.. John Swinburne, Representa-
tive from the Albany District, APP
pcarcd before the House Judiciary
Committee and advocated his bill to
provide Government Penitentiary,
and abolish the system of manufac-
turing marketable articles by con
Wet labor which come into competi-
ton with the product of respectable
labor The argument of Dr. Swim
burne develops to and from the com
mittee facts not generally known as
to the Governments convict system.
There are on an average from thous
and to eleven hundred federal pris-
oners in the various State peniten-
tiaries, which are paid, at so much
per capita, for boarding and keeping
secure the convicts. A great ma
.jority of these convicts are or be-
come skilled wsrkmen and turn out
articles which can be sold by the
Government at Il great profit, and
thus the Government is partly re-
imbursed for its expenditures on this
account.
DIR. swINBURNE's PLAN,
which reflects the views of the labor
organizations generally, is to pro-
vide a central penitentiary. or, as an
alternative, three penitentiaries, to
accommodate Federal convicts.
These convicts are to be put to work
manufacturing articles required by
the army and navy, such as
blankets, fabrics for uniforms,
Undertaking, caps, saddles, bri-
dies, harness, ETC., and thereby
save to the Government large
amount of the equipment expendi.
lures now annually incurred for the
two arms of the service. The bill
provides that the Attorney General
and Secretary of the Interior shall
select and buy a suitable site and
contract for suitable penitential in
stitution for the confinement of all
persons sentenced to one year or more
by any Federal court. The Attor-
ney General and Secretaries of the
Interior, Treasury, Navy and War
are designated to select the State or
Territories in which the institution
or institutions shall be located. One
hundred thousand dollars is appro-
priated to begin operations with.
The subject was referred to sub
committee, consisting of Messrs.
Sency, Of Ohio; Bennett, Of North
Carolina. and Stewart. Of Texas.
