ENCOURAGING FIGURES.
Gains Over Last Year show n Healthy Con-
dition of Trade.

Clearing House figures continue to show
gains over the corresponding period of last
year. Although the weeks record falls few
thousands below that of the same time in 1888,
the month shows an increase of over 81 OOO, ,OOO.
This does very well, when it is considered that
it represents legitimate business, the specula-
tive element being too small to merit attention
While the gain is smaller than that of previous
months, it Is in the right direction, and shows
that the great financial, manufacturing and
healthy and vigorous condition. The report
for the day, week. month and year to date is as
follows;

visit to Corinth, he discovered remarkable
instance OF erosion caused by wind action:
On neighboring plateau was an old amphi-
theater some Is meters from the edge OF the
escarpment, which communicated with the
beach through a cavern with wide openings
at both ends, and above which the limestone
rock formed natural bridge, The walls OF
this cavern, whica was formed in the sand
stone stratum at the foot of the cliff, were
extremely rugged and irregularly corroded,
and nowhere showed traces of human work
manship. The tunnel could not possibly
have been excavated either by the rains or
the running waters, and its existence can be
explained only by the action of the sands
playing on point of least resistance under
the influence of the fierce Northern gales
prevalent in this region.

Revival of Interest in Ga. Fields

Interest in the gas fields of West Bloom
field, Ontario county, n. Y, seems to be re-
viving. Twenty years ago the first we'll was
struck. and burned away without being
utilized. Five or six years ago pipes were
laid to Niagara Falls and West Bloomfield,
and the gas extensively used for heating.
The supply, however, was insufficient ana
the we'll was partially abandoned. A new
company is now taking up leases and drill
ing wells TO the number OF %. The gas
strikes are made at about 400. The well
is shot with nitro-glycerine and measured
by stove power, the ordinary one supplying
fuel for 80 stoves. The country from Can
andaigua to Lima is also being prospected.

will NOT set aaida the old firrns or cor.

The NIcaraugua Canal.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, says: A great deal of
attention has been attracted by a fine
working model of the proposed Nicar-
angua Ship Canal, which has been on
exhibition in this city for short time, and
which is to be taken to Paris TO be shown
at the International Exposition. The
model is of plaster of paris, so feet long
and feet wide, and is an accurate rep
resentation OF the country through which
the canal is to be constructed. Hills,
mountains and valleys are reproduced in
plaster, and lakes, rivers, streams and
rivulets are shown with running water,
as they were found by the engineers
who surveyed the NioArpugua route.
There are about 800 of the
smaller rivulets, the water being
supplied and kept constantly running BY
an ingenious system of pipes underneath
the model. The proposed dam, Sc feet
high, which is to be built across the San
Juan river at Ochoa, is shown, and one
secs at glance how the course Of the
river is to be turned into valley and re.
tanned there by serieB of small dams
between the boundary foothills. The
seven mile cut through the hills on the
Pacific side of Lake Nicaragua is prom.
inent feature Of the model. The model
is made in sections so that it can be con
yeDiently shipped abroad. 1t took nearly
four months to build the model, at q cost
OF nearly $4,000. It was taken to New

New YORK, March 20.--When the mana.
gers OF the Manhattan club meet to-mor-
row night they will act upon the resigns-
ton of ex-Mayor Hewitt, as well as upon
the admission Of ex.Presideut Cleveland
as an honorary member. The prospect of
the latter event taking place, coupled
with the failure OF the club last year to
elect him yice.president, is evidently the
cause of Mr.. Hewiit's retirement. Perry
Belmont is among the new members to be
elected tomorrow night. The club has
now membership of $50, or within SO
OF the limit fixed by the constitution.
Unless he objects. Mr.. Cleveland will
probably be made Tammany brave
when he returns from Cuba. An effort
in that direction has made such progress
that Secretary Bayard and OK. Secretary
Whitney, both braves of long standing,
are already named as his sponsors ct his
baptism as brave. II II said that ex.
Secretary of the Interior Villas will also
be elected member of Tammany Hall.

ONE PURE ARTICLE OF room.

The Royal Baking Powder Offl-
ciaily Commended = Wholesome
Action of the New Jersey state
Board OF Health.
The action of the New Jersey State
Board of Health In publishing the names
of the Alum baking powders sold In that
state will be commended by all who are
In favor Of pure and honest food. Scarce
an article sold enters more generally into
the daily food OF every one than baking
powders. II is well understood that the
alum and the alum and phosphate baking
powders are detrimental TO health, and
consumers only require to be informed
as.to the names OF these unwholesome
brands in order to avoid them.
This information the manufacturers Of
the alum baking powders are endeavoring
It seems, to suppress. It is stated that
they went SO FAR es to seek tunsucoess-
fully, however, y for an Injunction to pro-
hibit the New Jersey authorities from
proceeding with their recent investigation
and expose.
II is particularly gratifying to con-
sumers to know that the baking powder
which they have so long been accustomed
to using, the Royal, has invariably gone
through these analysis not only without
reflection against it of impurity or un-
wholesomeness, but each time more en-
phatically endorsed as the superior of q
the baking powders in the market.
Tho health authorities Of number Of
other states have also recently made OK.
haustive examinations OF this character,
and with the uniform result Of finding
the Royal superior to all others. The
United States government chemist, after
an examination for the Indian depart
ment, made the emphatic statement that
1.-THE Royal Baking Powder is the purest
in quality and highest in strength Of any
baking powder OF which / have knowl.
edge" The authorities of Canada have
been making an elaborate study of the
baking powders sold there. The official
analyst OF Ontario says SIS the result Of
his investigation that he ''fuds the Royal
Baking Powder far superior to the
others" and goes so far as to recon.
mend its use in preference to any Other"
Likewise, eeries Of over 500 tests for
strength made by public analysts and
other chemists OF prominence throughout
the country show it to produce an average
of over rs per cent more leavening gas
than any of its competitors.
A company that maintains this high
standard for its product against the
temptations of the enormously greater
profit that would accrue from the use of
the cheaper materials employed by others
(for the alum baking powders are pro-
duced at q cost OF three cents per
pound) is entitled to this public COM
mendation and endorsement.
