0lfts OF Poison.

II Is time that the respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the suppress
sion Of all gilt, prize and lottery schemes
In connection with the sale of articles of
merchandise, These schemes are not only
dem oraliHing 10 Legitimate business and to
the morals Of the community, but In the
extent In which they are being carried in
the sale of articles of food have become u
source Of great danger 10 the public health
They are, no matter In what form they may
appear, nDthing more nor less than devices
to swindle honest and unsuspecting peo-
pie
IL Is gratifying to learn that In some In
stances the Ulcers OF the law have taken
hold OF the matter. 10 New York, and
also In Chicago parties who In this way
offered gifts To purchasers Of their packa
gas have recently been arrested upon in
dictm@n's for lottery swlndling. The la
test candidates, both for public eXecIati,n
and criminal prosecution, are the manuftc.
turers OF the alum baking powders, who
are both, by means of gifts and lottery
tick cts, disposing of large quantities of
their curruslvely poisonous compounds,
which are So we'll known TO be detrime ntal
to health that no housekeeper will admit
them TO her kitchen knowingly. This form
of swindle Is not only being peddled from
house 10 house, but under promise of large
profits 10 be realized, the manufacturers
are entrenching themselves behind the
counters of mary grocers by getting them
tO ttfer the alum goods with the gifts or
lottery tickets attached, thereby shifting
the liability to prose CutioD, in part, upon
other, and perhaps innocent parties Eve
ry grocer or dealer, for instance, who sells
or offers for sale any of the prize or lottery
baking powders Is criminal in the eye of
the law, ana liable upon conviction, 10 fine
and imprisonment while those who sell
the gift goods are, morally, as responsible,
for they are Offering an inducement, or
prize, 10 hOuseReepers 10 use food that
contains II corrosive poison. This Is pre-
dicament in which II is not possible our
grocers will care 10 place themselves when
they come 10 think seriously OF the matter.
1t must be born In mind that every one
of these gift or prize baking powders are
alum baking powders. These powders
cost less than four cents a pound to pro-
duce; the gift or prize costs but q few
cents more They are sold at the price of
first class baking powder, so that the
swindle, in commercial sense, Is enol-
nous, But the chief eniquity of the bust
ness consists in selling as presumably
wholesome, an article of a positively inju-
rious character, and by means of gifts or
brides inducing servants OF unsuspeCting
housake5Lers to purchase and use il In our
daily food.
There should be some prompt method of
reaching these dangerous practices and
Furnishing the parties engaged in their
promotion. If the present laws are not
ample, we commend the matter to the
consideration of our State Boar4 of Health
for recommendation Cf such additional
Legislation rs shall be Elective for the pro-
lection Of the public.

ANOTHER MARINE DISASTER,
The Steamer Eureka, Which Lately weRt

The Steamer Eureka, Which Lately Went
to the Bottom In q Collision.
AS long as fogs exist accidents are bound
to occur at sea, and the captain Of each vessel
will as usual be blamed for the disaster The
recent collision which occurred off Cape
Henry, in which the tramp steamer Benson
sent the steamer Eureka to the bottom, illus
trates the ordinary run of marine disasters
which occur in fogs. The Eureka was
headed on her course due south, and the
Benson was headed east when the accident
happened. The fog was SO dense that you
could not see your hand before your face
and, perhaps, under these circumstances
nobody can be justly blamed, but at the
same time it would seem as if, after so many
years of these dreadful collisions and the loss
of life which almost always attends them,
that some system of signals could be devised
which would guard against repetition of
them. Perhaps the most curious part of the
whole matter was the fact that after the
Eureka had sunk and the captain and
crew had taken to the boats, the captain
of the Benson, which was lying to short
distance away, apparently did not notice the

THE STEAMER EUREKA.

signals of the shipwrecked sailors Capt.
Quick, Of the Eureka, says that the steamer
Hudson, which had come up to the Benson
to render her assistance, towed her away
without apparently caring whether the crew
of the steamer Eureka had gone to the bottom
or not. Anybody who has not been to sea
cannot readily understand the feelings of a
lot Of sailors who have lost their vessel and
are floating around in small boat at the
mercy Of a resistless element which is liable
to swallow them up in the course Of a few
days, but, fortunately for the crew Of the
Eureka, they did not long experience the
sensation, for shortly after the disaster oc-

them up. They W re transferred to another

A furred tongue is not necessarily an

lecture by DR. Howship Dickinson the
tongue not only changes its aspect and con-
dition with often inconsiderable deviations
from ordinary health, but it presents many
differences within this state in different
persons, and in the same persons at diff

to have a clean tongue, and to others equally
normal to have a coated one. so that it is

No face is better known to prohibition
audiences in the northwest, and none proba-

is slender and graceful, perhaps feet
inches high, carrying erect stately and
well shaped womanly head crowned with
golden auburn hair. Her blue eyes beam
kindly through glasses, and sparkle humor-

the satire, appeal or pathos which she so
eloquently employs in her addresses.
Her early childhood was spent in Oberlin,

many years before the war; but she is a
