% PER CENT. DIFFERENCE.
Tests Showing the Strongest and Most
Economical Baking Powder.

Some valuable tests have been made
by the government chemists as to the
practical strength and usefulness OF
baking powders. Efforts are contin.
uously made to introduce inferior
baking powders, the statements being
published that they are as pure, or as
strong as the Royal" Such powders
are sold to consumers at the same
price as the pure Royal, but being
deficient in strength, are more ex-
pensive in use, besides making infer
ior or unwholesome food. These
low class powders are frequently
exposed by the public analysts.
Publications have recently been made
by the Price Baking Powder Co, the
obvious purpose of which was to rid
themselves of the exposure of the in
feriority or low test of the. baking
powder which they manufactured.
The tests by the government chem
lists and also by Prof. Chandler, of the
New York Board of health, revealed
the fact that Prices powder contained
twenty-seven per cent. less strength
than the Royal"
When compared in money value,
this difference would be as follows:
One pound can Royal Baking Pow
der worth 80 cents;
One pound can Prices worth 36
cents.
The public are indebted to the
Royal Baking Powder Company for
the fight they have been making for
years past to break up the. practice
of substituting alum, phosphates,
lime, ETC., as cheap substitutes
for cream tartar, as well as short
weights and low test in baking pow
ders, and it is hoped that the 'stop
thief cry will not prevent that Com
pany from continuing the exposure of
all who are engaged in the nefariOus
business of palming upon the public
cheap or injurious baking powders
at the same price at which a pure and
wholesome article is sold.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
commentator of the most noted chem
lists in the country for its purity and
freedom from every substance of an
injurious nature. Its manufacturers
will receive the support of all con-
sumers for the fearlessness of their
against all manner of food
frauds.

Great interest was felt in this city
regarding yesterdays contests at Ia
coma, and the unfavorable news which
was received by telegraph gave rise to
many wild, mauthenticated reports
some of which found their way
into print and led many tc
believe that the tournament was en-.
tirely broken up and dispersed, and
that ere this the entire Astoria dele.
cation would be well on their way
home. But reference to THE Asro
RIAN's specials this morning shows
that there is sufficient number in
the freman's association who desire
fairness and justice, to down a few
egotistical, self-important cranks who
would, with brazen effrontery and fer
menting gall, attempt to raise them
selves above the power that created
them.

\ GOOd Scheme.

J. W. Dougherty is Experiment. ing in Chino valley with a view ot obtaining the best methods for the irrigation ot a large tract of land owned by him there. He purchas- ed two sections-12S0 acres from the Atlantic & Pacific railroad last fall. A large portion of it is very rich, all that is required to make it productive being water for irriga- ton. He sunk we'll 12 by 6 feet to a depth of twelve feet and ob tained an abundant supply of water, his experiments now being to secure the cheapest method of. getting it on the land. He has a centrifugal pump with which, 1t being run by horse power, he has thrown steady stream of 375 gallons per minute without perceptibly lowering the water in the we'll. He is now in correspondence with manufacturers of windmills, and will either pro- cure one or use steam for raising the water. He has already con structed q large reservoir, and ex- poets by another year to put a large area under cultivation.-Journal- Miner.

Awful DeStitutiOn.

A Panama dispatch of the 29th ut. says the unfortunate conse- quences of the canal smash are be- coming more marked every day, and the de dep!orable condition of af- fairs has but one outlet, and that by emigration. The commissioner sent by the Jamaica government has already sent away 4,000 people and he has issued tickets for 5000 more, and these will leave by ear Hest steamers. The people are con- gregated at the different depots with their tickets in their hands, put without shelter, and tropical wet season is in full energy. After all the distressed foreigners shall have been removed there will still be much suffering and want here-suf- fering and want of a character which cannot be even ameliorated until the resumption of work in January shall have put money in circulation and inspired confidence. In Colon prices have fallen lower than anywhere else on the Isthmus. Many houses are without tenants. A store for which $200 per month could readily have been obtained a few months ago is offered at $50 and no takers.

For Settlement.

The fact a large body of railroad land has been thrown open to settle mcnt in the eastern part of New Mexico will be an inducment to emigran!s to seek homes in that territory. The land referred to is that part of the Atlantic & Pacific grant which extended from near Albuquerque to the eastern bound ary of the territory. It was for feited because of the failure of the company to build the railroad through it. The price of govern ment land lying within the side boundaries of the grant has been reduced in consequence of this for feiture. The entire body is now for sale at Sl.25 per acre. Formerly the price of the government land was S2.50, it being thought that the building of the railroad would make 1t worth that much. There is reason to believe that some of this land may be cultivated with out irrigation. Undoubtedly much of 1t could be reclaimed by build ing irrigation reservoirs.-Denyer Journal of Commerce.

MUcH newspapePial discussion has been indulged in, from time to tune, upon the authorship of the famous couplet
 ''Tne devil was sick, the devil monk would be; The cey;l was we'll, the devil amonk was he" And many have attributed the lines simply because found in that work-to the author of Hudibras. This Is an error easily of demon stration. Samuel Butler, author of Hudibras, fourished between the years 1912 and 1880. An examina- ton of the works of Francois Rabe- elais, French physician, philosopher and satirist, who, according to the best authorities, fourished between the years 1495 and 1858, in which we find, at the close of 25th chap ter of the fourth book of Rabelais, these self same lines, and they are there quoted, being simply para phrase of the Italian proverb:
 "Passato il perico,o, gabatO il santo." Thus proving conclusively that these lines were not even original with the French physician; but, were in his day and time, of un- known antiquity and authorship. At the close of the authors eplstle dedicatory of his fourth book of Rabelais, he says:
 "My lord, your most humble, and most devoted servant,
 FRANCOIS RABELAIs, Physician.
 Paris, this 18th day of January, 1852. :"
 Here we have undisputed evi- dence, that the lines were Tn com mon use not less than fifty-nine years before the birth of the author of Hudibras and further that the couplet, as early as 1852, was quoted as an Italian proverb by the writers in that century.

A Man Killed at Pines Altos.

Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock s. A. Fisher, constable at Pinos Al tos, while in the discharge of his duty shot and instantly killed James Dodds a miner employed on the Mountain Key mine.
 The deceased was drunk he had been drinking heavily several days, and had been very disorderly at at times. Fisher, the constable was told that he (Dodds) had a pistol and was requested to go and dis arm him, and he immediately went after Dodds. He found him in the dance hall in company with a man named Boxley, who was also drunk. Fisher tried to pursuade Dodds to give up his pistol, but did not sue ceed, the latter pretending for some time he had no gun.
 After considerable talking btwcen the men, Dodds sad I've got gnn and he immediately drew q 38-cali- bre Smith & Wesson pistol and fired at the officer. Fisher return ed fire. Four shots were fired two by Dodds and two by Fisher, the last one from Fishers pistol struck the pistol in Dodd's hand glanced, went through Dodd's body killing him instantly .-Silver City Sen tinel.

Another Road Coming.

There are signs of coming great development in New Mexico, along and east of the Rio Grande. The Denver, Texas and Fort Worth rail- way company are commencing q branch line from Amarillo, Texas, to Albuquerque, across a fine coun- try that, with reservoir water stor- age, will become extremely valuable. The company is said to have de- cided to build down the valley of the Pecos to Fl Paso. That valley will, perhaps, be found as desirable as the Rio Grande. In its lower course, as it approaches Texas, it is very wide and the soil beyond pos sible exaggeration as to fertility. It is in the latitude of Sou thern Cali lorna, and though elevated some B. 800 feet, can raise most of the Cal ifornia fruits. The Journal of IT, rigation will contain considerable discussion of New Mexico agricul- tural enterprises this week.-Jour- nal of Commerce.
