ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH.
The Annual Report of the Pastor Read
 YeSterdRV.

Yesterday.
 The annual report of Rev Father Duggan, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, read at the 1O:30 o'clock mass yesterday, shows @ very healthy condition of affairs. During the year an immense amount of work has been done upon the church, the walls being laid and the roof timbers placed in position. The expenses have been larger than any other year in the history of the church ,and pastor, assistant and people are to be con- graduated upon the result of the years work. The church receipts during the year amounted to $17, 434 27, of which $1O, 436.08, was received from the monthly collections, the balance being from pew rents, ofertory collections and other sources. For the present, work upon the church has been suspended, owing to the cold and stormy weather. The roof proper will not be covered in until spring, in order to prevent damage to the side roofs and walls from snow and rain.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Boston Globe says that Waterbury IS anxious to secure the Salem team.
 The Sun says that Campion who has signed to play in Lowell, is looking for an engagement in the west, and if he secures It will play east no more.
 After years experience in the league the old Hartford player Shock, says: there IS vast difference between the pitchers of minor leagues and those of the older as- sociations. He claims that player may be terrific slugger against minor league pitchers, but when he faces such men as Keefe, Clarkson, Ferguson, Whitney and Getzein, he becomes bewildered and falls an easy victim to their deceptive curves. There are, of course, exceptions, such as O'Brien, Herman and others, but as rule It requires the best part of season to get fair idea of how to stand up to the aver age League pitchers delivery. He says Ed Daley will probably be one of the Wash I ingtons pitchers this season, ill which event he contends that but few clubs will be ahead of them so far as the pitching department is concerned.
 John Roberts is wanted in Waterbury. The Connecticut managers failing to break up the Central league are now trying to make the star players in this division dis | satisfied. Have they got barrel down | that ways--New Bedford Standard. The seven Sowders boys, who are en- gagged in playing base ball professionally are home in Indianapolis for the winter. Four of them have attained considerable prominence as pitchers, Billy having been the subject of the recent deal between the St. Paul and Boston. Len has signed with the Omaha club, John with St. Paul, and Dave is still unengaged.
 Joe Battin, is emphatic in his disapproval of the return to the three-strike rule, and thinks, also, that the removing of the bat ters position further away from the home plate is also serious mistake. Joe thinks that the pitcher has advantage enough al ready without piling on more. Battin is in excellent condition and weighs 17f | pounds at present writing. The item re- gently published to the effect that he was in poor health is mistake
 Did it ever occur to you how talent sometimes runs through family. Take Buck Ewing for instance. He has q brother John who has managed to work his way right to the front as one of the most prominent pitchers in the minor leagues The Mansells managed for years to keep 2 brother or two at wolk in nearly every league in the country. George Tebeau has in "Patsy Bolivar" brother who will make his mark with Chicago. Van Haltren, the pitcher, is not the only ball player in tho family. His brother is looked upon as ont of the most promising first basemen il California.

Another Swindle.

Ne CLEAN from the HigerstOwn (Ad.,)
Netrs tho following information and re-
mark that the Valley farmers must be on
the lookout, and keep their eyes open for
this new swindling scheme which threat
ems to become as notorious as the Bohe-
milan oats swndle was. The new raIcally
scheme is the hayfork sell. The operators
have been at work in Pennsylvania and
New York, and are likely to play their
nefarions business elsewhere. Their
mode Of operation is to store number Of
forks in the barn Of SEINE farmer, telling
him that they are the remainder OF q
large shipment, and informing him that
if he can dispose Of them he will be al
lowed a commission averaging from 30 to
Is per cent. The farmer agrees to become
responsible for the goods, and is rersuad-
ed TO sign a receipt which they are
careful ho shall not read, and thirty days
later he is called upon By an accomplish
Of the seller, who demands quadruple
payment for the forks, aud shows tho
farmers agreement to accept them ut that
pnce. Kick u Well, he may, bat he pays
the demand all tho same, at laat. An
honest farmer stands no show in dicker-
ing with swindling city sharper.

Food Tests in New Yerk.
OFFICIAL ANALYSIS or BAKING POWDERS
-ADuLTRRATIONs IN CREAM OF TARTAR.

OFFICIAL ANALYSIS or BAKING POWDERS
-ADULTRRATIONs IN CREAM OF TARTAR.
Under the direction of the New York
State Board of Health, eighty-four DIFF
ferent kinds of baking powders, embrac-
ing all the brands that could be found for
sale in the State, we're submitted to ex-
animation and analysis by Prof. c. F..
CHANDLER, a member of the State Board
and President Of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prot. EDWARD
g. LOVE, the well-known United States
Government chemists
The official report shows that a large
number OF the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime many OF
them to such All extent as to render them
seriously Objectionable for use in the
preparation Of human food.
Alum was found in twenty.nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
to cheaper their cost. The presence of
lime is attributed 10 the Impure cream Of
tartar of commerce used in their manu-
facture. Such cream of tartar was also
analysed and found to contain lime and
other impurities in some samples to the
extent of % per cent. Of their entire
weight.
All the baking powders Of the market,
with the single exception Of "Royal" (not
including the alum and phosphate pow
ders, which have not the virtue Of even
an impure cream Of tartar), are made from
the adulterated cream Of tartar Of com
merce, and consequently contain lime to n
corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found by
chem ical analysis to Do entirely free from
lime and absolutely pure il the "Royal."
This perfect purity results from the e1
elusive use Of cream Of tartar specially
refined and prepared by patent processes
which totally remove the tartrate Of lime
aud other impurities. The cost Of this
chemically pure cream Of tartar is much
greater than any other, and on account Of
this greater cost Is used in no baking pow
der but the Royal"
Prof. LOVE. who made the analysis of
baking powders for the New York State
Board of Health. as well as for the Govern
ment, says OF the purity and wholesome
ness of the "Royal."
81 find the Royal Baking Powder com
posed Of pure and wholesome ingredients.
1t is a cream OF tartar powder Of high
degree of merit. and does not contain
either alum or phosphates or other in
iuri0us substance. h. @. LOVE. Pm. D."
1t is highly satisfactory to the house
keepers Of this vicinity, where the Royal
Baking Powder is IN general use, that the
Investigations by the analysts in Massa-
chusetts New York, and Ohio, the only
States that have thus far taken action
upon this important subject, agree in
chasing it az the purest and most efficient
baking powder IN the market.

EXCHANGE NOTES.

The Winchester Leader says: On Friday
last Miss Ida Russell, daughter of John
w. Russell, living near Vaudeville. was
so severely burned by her clothing taking
Ere from the cook stove, that she died on
Monday evening last. Deceased was in
her 18th year. IL IS thought nervous
prostitution was the immediate cause of
death.
The Rockingham Register says: James
Tonnant, sentenced to jail for INSIDE
meanors committed IN and around Elk
ton, escaped on Thursday last by saving
through the wooden flooring Of the iron
cage in which he was confined and remov-
ing the concrete beneath, thus enabling
him to make a whole large enough for
him to squeeze through in the space be-
tween the walls of the cage and jail. The
outer cell door having been left open TO
give ventilation, Tenant walked out and
escaped. His term would have expired
yesterday.
The Page Ndcs says: We regret to an
nounce the death of Oscar, the bright
little son Of Mr. Albert Finn, which oc-
Cured under the most painful circum-
stances. On Saturday last the little fell
low was playing with fire at the wood
pile in the yard Of his fathers residence,
in east Luray, when his clothing caught
fire. His mother observing the smoke
from the house, ran ont and met the child,
who was running towards her, eyelopcd
IN a blaze. She wrapped her dress around
him, and finally succeeded in extinguish-
ing the fl re. but not until he was fatally
burned. He fingered in pain until sun
day morning, when death relieved him
from his agony. His parents have the
sympathy Of the community in their sad
bereavement.
The Shepherdstown Register says Mr..
Richard Undertake, an aged resident o f
this county and highly respected citizen,
received stroke Of paralysis while stand
ing in the Charlestown postOilice last
Monday morning, from the effects Of
which he died at o'clock the same after
noon. Mr.. Undertake was one Of the
Jurors who convicted John Brown, Of
Harper's Ferry notoriety, at his trial in
1859. Three other members OF that jury
have died within the past two years
Messrs. Jacob J. Miller, Isaac Dust and
Thomas W. Osbourn--all at advanced
ages. Mr.. William Rghtstine, of Shop
herdstown. and Mr.. Geo. Boyer Of Browns
Crossing, are the only members of that
Jury who are living. Mr.. Timberlake
was in the slst year Of his age.
