Entangling Alliances.

If the Knights of Labor nominate
candidates for the various offices in
this State, off which party do they
expect to draw their greatest amount
of strength? We warn our Democrat
ic brethren of the Knights of Labor
to watch we'll their movement. The
Republicans are going to stick to-
gether in this fight, man to man, as
they have always done heretofore,
and it will be well for US if we do the
same. We ought to be aware'of the
" entangling alliances" lest they lead
us to defeat. The Democratic party
is now and has always been the
friend of labor, and their legislation
for the past half century or more
points to the truth of this. The rec
ords of the Republican party show a
different state of affairs. This party
has always been the friend of mo-
nopoly. Mountain Herald.

Alum Baking Powders.
Declared Adulterated Food and their
Sale Illegal.

The result of trial just concluded
at Canton, n. Y, before Judge Ksl=
Iogg, will have salutary effect in
checking the sale of one. class of
adulterated food. Two men, named
Moon and Akerill, were arrested for
selling adulterated baking powder in
violation of the State food adultera-
ton act. The indictment was for
both selling baking powders that were
inferior, adulterated and injurious to
health by reason of being made from
alum, and for selling them under pre-
tense that they were a wholesome,
cream of tartar baking powder. A
stubborn defence was made, the claim
being set up that baking powders
were not articles of food and that the
powder the defendants were selling,
which was known as GilIet's, was a
standard article of trade, and that
alum baking powders inferior to it,
like Davis and others, were being
sold by other dealers in the same town
without complaint. The Court held
that baking powders were articles of
food within the meaning of the law,
and the jury found the defendants
guilty upon all the charges. The
case has attracted much attention
from being the first brought under the
State Food Adulteration Act against
dealers in alum baking powders. The
result of the trial is to class such bak-
ing powders as adulterated articles of
food and TO make their sale illegal.
There are many alum baking pow
ders put up in cans. under some
name or brand, in addition to those
sold in bulk, the sale of all of which
cautious dealers will probably be un-
willing to continue.

The juvenile ladies are taking to
the kerchief of their grandmothers,
and they wrap it around their shoul-

breast and leave a delightful "
shaped bit of neck exposed, quite in
the style of fifty years ago. The ma

the costliest lace, and so the fashion
may become general. At all events
it is extremely pretty. A concurrent
whim of fair maidens is to let the hair
fall free although not without deft
contrivances of becoming outlines
The two new devices of coiffure and
corsage combine to alter the girls as
pect considerably and to impart to
her piquancy of oddity that is cap
tiyating.-PhiladelphiG Times
