Radlcal Dead Beats.

Clarksburg News.
There will not be many weeks
until our county will be thronged
with professional political deadbeats,
who make commerce of their oratori-
cal charms. These philanthropic
gentlemen will appeal to the labor
ing man, and with eyes brimfull OF
protection tears-at probably dol
lar apiece-will relate the story OF
love that throbs in the bosom of
every protection Republican, for the
man who earns his daily bread by
the sweat of his brow. In his de
lirium he will incoherently talk of
the horrors of Free Trade. Pauper
labor and poorly paid laborers will
produce a nightmare fearful to con-
template. Not one of these Repub-
lican hirelings upon the subject of
Cleveland's message will "tell the
truth as to its definition.

G Counterfeiting a BaIEiDg PoW-


COunterfeiting n Baking POWs
der.
The public is too we'll informed as
to the danger from alum baking
powders to need any caution against
using them. 1t is, neverthless, q
fact that many of.onr most prudent
and careful heusekeepers are, With
out knowing it, usfng these deleter-
sious articles daily and from them
preparing for their families food
which, were they aware Gifts nature,
they would not offer TO beggar.
Baking powders made from burnt
alum cost less than four cents a
pound. When these can beworlxed
off in place of the Royal Baking
Powder, and sold for forty or fifty
cents a pound, therc are mapy man
ufacturers and dealers sufficiently
unscrupulous to do 1t.
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, If
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. Analyses
of many of them have been made
with view to a prosecution, and in
all cases they have been found
largely adulterated and generally
made from poisonous burnt alum.
This is selling counterfeit goods, and
is, of course, an offence against the
law. We are glad to know that the
Royal Baking Powder Company
have taken the matter in hand, and
are acting in way that will protect
the public from the swindle.
The surest protection from this
fraud is for the housekeoper to buy
the baking powder of the brand she
wishes in the original unbroken
package, looking carefully to see
that the label has not been tamper-
ed with. The Royal Baking Pow
der Company announce, what is wen
known, that their goods are packed
for the convenience of consumers ii.
cans of various sizes, but are never
sold in bulk, by the barrel or loose
by weight or measure. The cans
securely sealed with the eompany's
trade mark label, and the weight of
each package stamped on the cover.
Any baking powder being peddled
out by weight under the name of
Royal they denounce as bogus and
to be avoided.
Consumers should boar these
facts in mind if they do not wish to
have imposed upon them the pois-
onous alum stuff that is being pro-.
fusely distributed throughout the
country under the name of baking
powder. If however they buy the
Royal in cans with unbrokcn labels,
they are always sure of using a
baking powder perfectly pure and
wholesome, and of the highest tests,
strength and efficiency.

For many years rowing has been popular
In Chicago, and the city boasted several in
dependent clubs, but there was no concerted
plan of action until September, 1856, when
the "Chicago Navy" was organized, which
comprises all the various clubs of the city
and suburban towns. Previous to this the
active boating had been done by the Farra-
gut, Delaware, Pullman, Tippycauoe and
Evanston clubs.
Both from the fact that it is the oldest set
tier, and from its record, the Farragut club
must take supremacy. 1t was organized
March 10, 1872, and incorporated July l,
1915. Thu fleet at hat time consisted of one
barge, the Farragut, and the timber house of
the Illinois Central Railroad company was
its boat house.
In the spring of 1873 a boat house, which
cost $3.50, was built at the foot of Twenty
first street. This was destroyed by a storm
in 1874. Another was erected in its place,
which was later moved to Riverdale, on
Calumet river, to be used for training pur-
poses, and a new boat house, costing over
$1,000, was erected on the old site. In No
vember, 1877, this house, as well as that of
the Chicago Barge club, in its immediate
neighborhood, was completely destroyed by
storm, and only three boats were saved. The
next year a two story brick boat house was
built at the foot Of Twenty-ffth street, cost
ing $4,000. The first floor was used for stor-
ing boats and the second was devoted to So
cial purposes. For six years it was q pleasant
nome for the club. But it would seem that
Fate had a special grudge against the Farra-
gut, for, it becoming necessary to move the
boat house nearer the lake to make way for
the encroachments of a railroad, in the
month of March, 1888, a furious storm
arose and destroyed 1t, with twenty expen-
sive boats.
A temporary house was at once erected and
new boats were purchased, and the ambition
of the club was fired rather than daunted by
its repeated disasters. 1t was fast outgrow-
ing the former narrow limits of the organi-
cation, and at this j~uncture its president,
Lyman B. Glover, proposed that they should
build an elegant club house on some eminence
overlooking Lake Michigan, and simply pro-
vide a storage for boats near the water.
This rather startling proposition speedily
gained favor, and the result is shown In the
superb club house which stands on a lofty
elevation on Lake Park avenue, overlooking
the vast expanse of the blue lake which
stretches before it. 1t is a model of correct
and elegant architecture. From its balloon
les and observatory one commands a view of
the entire city as well as the lake. Indoors
it is most conveniently arranged for the com
fort and pleasure of its habitues, the hall and
staircase being especially beautiful. 1t is
finished throughout in hard wood, and its
freplaces are handsomely tiled, with the
initials of the club inserted. There are two
spacious p~arlors, directors room, card room
and billiard room on the first floor. On the
second is a large gymnasium and dancing
hall, which is also equipped with a good sized
stage for dramatic purposes.
