a few days ago l was in the hoard
room of a great banking institution in
the vicinity Of tile Western Union
building. az a meeting of the board of
directors. IL wss a famous corporation,
dealing with millions as a boy plays
with marbles. and its operations are
felt pretty much from one end Of the
country TO the other. There were eight
directors present, and without wishing
to be d~isrespectful or personal, | must
say that they were the drowsiest and
sleepiest lot of elderly and rheumatic
men that l had seen in many a day. At
least six of them were over seventy
years Of age, and the remainder we're
either bent by i'll health or overwork.
Three OF four chatted amiably and gar
rulously with n another and paid m
attention whatever to the reports Of
the secretary or the comments Of the
cashier The president had a hacking
cough, and was so peevish that all the
employees of the place were afraid Of
him. and the board as a body paid so
little attention TO the proceedings that
vote after vote was recorded without a
voice being raised -
The secretary would say, Il take it
that the opinion of the board is in the
affirmative. and then jot' down that
the yeas had it, Many of the directors
evidently did not know what he was
talking about. 1t occurred 70 me then
that the policy Of taking a lot Of elder
ly finaneies, whose faculties had been
worn out byyears of arduous work, and
putting them in charge Of the affairs Of
great corporations, merely on account
of their accumulated wisdom. was a
fundamental mistake. Men in the finan-
cial world do not retain their mental
vigor as late in life as men who follow
other avocations in this country. The
pace is too hot IL seems TO Inc il might
be the part Of wisdom to put younger
men on the boards of direction in the
big companies. Ii is certain that the
stockholders deserve more protection
than they receive under the present sys-

In the body of this instrument its
author says that he came to this country
in 1871 and earned $40 per day. He soon

which filled his room and followed him
everywhere. He also found that people
were trying to poison him. 1T was a
conspiracy" he says, Switch was inaugur-
ated against me by wealthy peo-
pie in 1879 and has no equal in human
history. My business has been ruined and
efforts are being made to ruin my health

meats and drink" He mentions the
names of Mrs A. L. Stewart, Judge Hill
ton, Mrs. Bowdoin, Trustee B. b. Sher-
man, DR.. Hall and Dr.-presumably bis
hop-Potter as being concerned in the
conspiracy.
DR.. Hall was for a time completely un-
nerved by his narrow escape, but recov-
cred sufficiently to conduct the afternoon
service in the church. DIR. Hall would
say but little regarding the shoot
ing when seen last evening. He
said that Roth had attended services
at his church at irres ular intervals
for some time past and that he had helped
him on more than one occasion, thinking
him worthy man, as he certainly was
gentlemanly in appearance and possessed
a good education. DR.. Hall added that
he had received threatening letters from
the man but paid no heed to them.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Shall we Drive Slow Poison From Our
Breakfast Tables.

ALUM AND AMMONIA IN OUR BREAD,
A nuisance that troubled England fifty
years ago is now rapidly spreading in this
country, that is putting Alum in the bread
we eat. This question Is causing great
deal of discussion at the present moment, as
ii is revealed that alum is being used as a
substitute for cream OF tartar in baking pow
ders. A story is told that very large per-
centage of the baking powders sold on the
market contain either alum or ammonia, and
many of them contain both these pernicious
drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at the
wholesale use of alum in bread, biscuit and
pastry. To young children, growing girls,
persons of weakly frame. alum bread eaten
morning noon and evening is most harmful.
1t is the small quantities taken at every meal
that do the mischief. Alum Is cheap, cost
ing but two or three cents pound while
cream of tartar costs SOC, and the high price
of cream of tartar has led cheap baking
powders to be made of alum. If the reader
wants to know something of the corrosive
qualities of alum let him touch piece to his
tongue then reflects on the tender, delicate
coats of the stomach.
Following is list compiled by the Scien-
tiic American, of the alum and ammonia

a large amount of English reprints and
