Counterfeiting a Baking Pow -
der.

The public is too well informed as
to the danger from alum baking pow
ders to need any caution against u.s.
ing them. 1t is. nevertheless. fac t
that many of our most prudent and
careful housekeepers are, without
knowing it, using these deleterious
articles daily, and from them prepar-
ing for their families food which,
were they aware OF its nature, they
would not offer to Il beggar. Baking
powders made from burnt alum cost
less than four cents pound. w hen
these can be worked off in place OF
the Royal Ba king Powder, and sold
for forty or fifty cents pound, there
are many many manufacturers and
dealers sufficiently unscrupulous to do
il.
A favorite method of selling these
poisonous alum baking powders is by
placing them in an empty Royal
Baking Powder can and weighing
them out in small quantities when
the Royal Baking Powder is called
for by customers. The grocer, il
questioned, claims that he buys in
large packages at lower rate, and is
thus able to sell below the price of
the goods in small cans. All baking
powders sold in this way are entitled
to suspicion Analy sis of many OF
them have been made with view to
prosecution, and in all cases they
have been found largely adulterated
and generally made from poisonous
burnt alum This is selling counter
felt goods, and is, of course, an o6ense
against the law. We are glad to
know the Royal Baking Powder
Company have taken the matter in
hand, and are acting in a way that
will protect the public from the swim
die
The surest protection from this
fraud is for the housekeeper to buy
the baking powder of the brand she
wishes in the original unbroken pack
age, looking carefully to see that the
label has not been tampered with.
The Royal Baking Powder Company
announce, what is well known, that
their goods ale packed for the conyen'
ience of consumers in cans of various
sizes, but are never sold in bulk, by
the barrel or loose by weight or mea'
sure. The cans are securely sealed
with the company's trade mark label,
and the weight OF each package
stamped on the cover Any baking
pow der being peddled out by weight
under the name of Royal they de
nounce as bogus and to be avoided
Consumers should bear these facts
in mind if they do not wish to have
imposed upon them the poisonous
alGm stuff that is being profusely dis
tributed throug ghout the country un
der the name of baking powder. If
however, they buy the Royal in cans
with unbroken labels, they are al
ways sure of using baking pow,ie
perfectly pure and wholesome, and o.
the highest test, strength and efic

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

The long flint-glsss strike has
been settled at last end the locked out
workers in Pittsburg to the number
of 1000 went back. 1t was victory
for the workers, although they have
lost over half a million dollars in
wages since the trouble commenced.
The settlement, it is believed, will
continue for fully ten years, and no
further trouble is expected.
They are getting personals"
down very fine in Youngstown. The
Telegram takes four lines of its new
type to tell its 5000 circulation that
four young women of that town call
ed on another young woman the even
ing before land had very pleasant
time" Which is why we remark
that they are getting personals down
very fine in Youngstown.
Counterfeit silver dollars were
circulated in large numbers ut Erie
recently, that were not detected until
taken to the banks for deposit by the
business men. They are dated 1887,
are moulded, not stamped, and are
said to be an excellent counterfeit.
Rochester and Buffalo were dosed
with the same coin last week Our
business men should look out for
them, as they are apt to stray down
this way.

The maple syrup season just end

about 5000 gallons were manufactur-

95 cents per Jug Some farmers made
more off their camps in the seven

off their grain crops for some years.

The principal component parts are
hops and honey. 1t is said to be a

On Saturday evening last, Mrs.
Chas. Snyder, who lives near Grove
City, asked her l2-year-old son to 60
to the stable and do the chores, which
be refused to do, when she chastised
him, whereupon he started for the
stable saying he would hang himself.
Mrs Snyder paid no attention to this,
as she little thought he had any in
tention of doing So He did not re-
turn in the usual time, when his
mother went to search for him, and
to her horror, found the last words of
the boy verified. He was hanging
suspended by rope between the loft
over head and the barn floor. Assist.
ance was called and he was cut down
at once, but only drew one breath
thereafter. The act was deliberately
planned for one 80 young. He had
procured rope, crawled up board
to the loft, tied the rope around his
neck and to joist and then jumped
to death. He seemed like an inoffen-
sive boy. but it is said he made sim
liar threats before

The Situation at Braddocks.

PITTsBURG, May L. The rail,
blooming and converting department
at the Edgar Thomson steel works
have not vet been started up, but the
machinery is in operation, and every
thing points to resumption in these
departments at any hour. A large
number of men applied for work this
morning. including some of the strik-
ing Knights of Labor. The impress
ion is growing among the people of
Braddocks that the strikers are about
convinced the the company will be
able to operate the works without
their assistance, and it would cause
very little surprise if they would de-
clare the strike off at the IN eetiug this
afternoon. The only hitch now seems
to be the signing of the iron-clad
agreements. The strikers say they
are willing to accept the reduction,
but will not consent to the disruption
of their organization.

A Beaver Valley Sensation.


A sensation was created at Roches-
ter, Pa, last week by the action Of
Mrs. l.. 4. Hubbard, widow of the
late DR.. Hubbard, in bringing suit for
breach of promise against Mr.. 81. G.
Fry widower, and probably the
wealthiest and most prominent resi-
dent of the town. No stated amount
of damages is in the papers filed in
the suit, but Mrs Hibbard's attorneys
say SlG0, 900 will be asked for.
The complainant in the case is tall
wcll-formed, inclined to embonpoint
and is 40 years old. She has blonde
complexion and nut brown hair and
eyes. Previous to her marriage to
DR. Hibbard the lady travelled with
opera and concert companies, posses
sing, until few years ago, a remark
ably fine contralto voice. She has
three children, one a young man, &
daughter who is in society and sec
ond son in his teens.
Henry G. Fry is widower abou
so years of age. He is Superintend
ent of the Rochester Tumbler Com
pany, of which he is the largest stock
holder; a director of the BridgewcteI
Gas Company; ex-President of ttt
Chatauqua Association, and since it'
formation a pillar in the First Bap
tist Church. His wife, a sister o
Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg, died a lit
tie over four years ago. Mr.. Fry ha'

Jr., is married. His residence is tn
most beautiful in town and Mr.. FIR,

ident. He is rated as being wort
little less than half million.
Mr.. Fry has been paying attention
to the the complainant for almost
year. and few months ago it wa
stated on good authority the coupl
were to be married soon. Then un

DEMOCRATS RATIFY.

The local Democracy thought to avail themselves of the presence here of Judge J. A. Anderson, of Los An geles, and Judge Jos. Campbell, of Phoenix. to have ratification meeting at the rink. Unfortunately the severe rain storm on Friday night of last week, when the meeting was to have been held. nscessitated a postpone ment to tue following evening, and owing to urgent business Judge An derson was obliged to return to Los Angeles on Saturday morning, much to the regret of many citizens. The weather was not propitious on Satur- day, but. notwithstanding, a large audience assembled in the rink. Dr. Tr!ppel introduced Judge Campbell, who mads an eloquent address lasting about three-quarters of an hour. It was decidedly partisan speech, being chiefly devoted to a eulogy of the Democratic party, an arraignment of the Republicans and advocacy of tariff reform as contemplated by the Mills bill. The speaker received liberal ap- plause frow his hearers, large ma- jority eff whom were in accord with the sentiments expressed.
 W. A. Holmes, Democratic nominee for the Legislative Assembly from Gila, followed in a brief speech. after winch the meeting was declared ad- journed, and when the floor had been cleared, dancing was 1naugurated and continued for several hours. Messrs. Aeschlimann, Lynes, Sultan and Nc Nelly furnished excellent music. The Democracy have reason to be pleased with the evenings entertainment.

The cause of the delay ln common eng the erection of the contemplated Post buildings is explained by Mark Smiths letter, of October 2nd, to the BELT, in which it is stated that the Senate refused to concur in the House appropriation bill fer the erection of any particular rost or garrison, but both houses concurred Tn an appre- priation of S150,00O to be expended by the Secretary of War in such bulld- ings and repairs as he may think ne- cessary, and that this IS the only fund which can be drawn upon as build ing fund the present fiscal year. MT. Smith, however, expresses the hope that Congress after the 4th of Decsm- Der will be more liberal and vete the necessary funds for the erection of the post already determined upon by the Secretary of War, in Gila county, in the vlclnity of Holmes well.
 It will be a source of regret to many to learn that the Secretary of Wars order abandoning Fert Thomas has not been revoked, notwithstanding George H. Stevens statement to the contrary. There are three reasons for the temporary occupancy of Fort Thomas. One is that It is found im- practicable to quarter troops during the winter season at the place de- signed for the new post on the White Mountain (San Carlos) reservation un- til quarters can be erected, and water piped to the place designated and al- ready surveyed for the erection of buildings. Another reasen Is that it was found necessary to keep a few troops at Thomas for the protection of government property, which it was found impracticable to remove for want eff stoia age roem elsewhere.
