A Pure Bakin~ Powder.

A baking powder that can be de-
pended upon to be free from lime and
alum is desideratum in these days of
adulterated food. So far as can be
judged from the official reports, the
'Royal" seems to be the only one yet
found by chemical analysis to be en-
tirely without one or the other of these
substances, and absolutely pure. This,
it is shown, results from the exclusive
use by its manufacturers of cream of
tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally re-
move the tartrate of lime and other
impurities. The cost of this chemically
pure cream Of tartar is much greater
Than any other, and it is used in no
baking powder except the Royal" the
manufacturers of which control the
patents under which it is refined.
DIR. Edward G., Love, formerly an
alytical chemist for the U. S. Govern
ment, who made the analyses for the
New York State Board OF Health in
their investigation Of baking powders,
and whose intimate knowledge of the
ingredients of all those sold in this
market enables him to speak authorita-
lively, says of the purity, wholesome
ness, and superior quality Of the "Roy-
all"
81 find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gradients. 1t is a cream of tartar pow
der, and does not contain either alum
or phosphates, or other injurious sub
stance"
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent
official tests by both the United States
and Canadian Governments, show the
Royal Baking Powder to be superior
to all others in strength and leavening
power. 1t is not only the most eco
nomical in use, but makes the purest,
finest favored and most wholesome
food.

Death Of Mrs. James <. Polk.

At 1880 o'clock last Friday morn
ing Mrs. Polk, widow Of President
James X. Polk, died at Polk Place,
on North Vine street, in Nashville.
Mrs. Polk was stricken down on
Wednesday evening, just after re-
turning from q drive. In a short
while she reacted and conscious
ness returned, and from that time
until her her death she apparently
suffered no pain. She was, how
ever, conscious of the fact that her
life was drawing to a close, and Oft
en- expressed a willingness to an
swer the summons, and when it
came, she quietly and peacefully
sank to rest.
Mrs. Sarah Childress Polk, the
daughter Of Captain Joel and Mrs.
Elizabeth Childress, was born near
Murfreesboro, Tenn, September 4.
1903. Her father, who was a pros
porous farmer, sent his daughter
to the Moravian Institute at Salem,
N. c., where she received an excel
lent education. At the age Of nine
teen she was united in marriage tc
James Knox Polk. With a single

SPEAKING of the election held in
the Second district last week the
Knoxville Tribune thus comments;
at was a great election and alb
solutely fair and free from fraud.
It is true that many Democratsand
boys were allowed to vote; that the
vote in more than one ward was as
large as the combined vote of both
parties in a legal election; that one
election Judge left his post'to pur-
chase votes and electioneer for
Houk; that there was repeating,
and bribery, and corruption, and
reeking rottonness, but for a Re-
publican election it was remarkably
cleanand fair"

There was no doubt Of their guilt,
yet on being brought up for exam
ination they were released after a
warning, because Of unwillingness
to send them to the penitentiary to
be completely demoralized under
the contract lease system-as they
would probably have been under
any penitentiary system whatever.
And this was the very best thing
that could have been done under
the circumstances, even though
here the justice had lost his costs
and thesheriff hisfees. Thegrown-
up negro is often only a child in
mind iii many things though shrewd
enough in others. He requires an
education in self governmentwhich
neither common schools nor peni-
Tertiary can give him. The stay
OF costs for first offenses would be a
most valuable lesson in mercy, tenn
pering justice and threatening Sc
verify if mercy beabused. Itwould
keep away "good negroes" useful
in spite of their peccadilloes- out
of the penitentiary, while at the
same timeit would strengthen them
against their own weaknesses by
giving them a powerful incentive
for self-restraint and self-govern-
ment.
1t is to be hoped that the Ten,
nessee general assembly at its extra
session will give the plan it's con.
sideration, improve it where it can
be improved, and adopt it. 1t will
put the State in the lead of the re.
form in method Of dealing with
criminals, while at the same time
it will greatly relieve the taxpayer
by making the convict "self-sup.
porting" in the best possible way
that is, by leaving him where he
can be safely left, at liberty to sup
port himself and his family. Ant
in all the class offences to which
such a law would be made to apply
it would be safe to trust the agree
ment of judge and jury to determ
inc whether or not the punishment
should be suspended on the pris
} oner's promise Of repentance ant
} amendment.

into conversation not long ago with
an enthusiastic Alliance man, and
naturally the sub-treasury scheme
came up for discussion. Mr.. Knott
claimed that the sub-t1easury idea
wasnotan original one with It's pres
ent promoters, and told the follow
ing story by way Of illustration,
leaving the Alliance man to draw
his own conclusions:
You remember, if you are stu
dent of history, that there lived
man by the name of Joseph, who
was quite a remarkable man. He
was a likely youth, and his fathers
favorite son. This favoritism be-
got jealousy among his brothers,
SO they fixed up a job on him and
sold him to a lot of slave dealers,
who carried him to far off coun-
try, which happened to be Egypt.
For some misdemeanor he was
there put in prison. While in jail,
a fellow prisoner had a remarkable
dream. Now, Joseph, among other
personal effects, was possessed Of
a frst-class dream book and by it
he interpreted the nightmare of his
fellow prisoner. This mans term
expired in O short time after and
he became steward in the kings
household. The king about this
time also had remarkable dream,
which so impressed him that he
spoke about it in the presence Of
this steward. The servant told him
there was chap in jail who had
dream book, and the king there
upon sent for Joseph. The king
related his dream with the min
utist detail to Joseph, who told him
that it meant that crops would be
very good in Egypt for seven years,
but for seven years succeeding
there will be total failures.
"What would you advise me to
do?" asked the king.
Build barns and buy corn, said
Joseph.
The prediction came true and
that very year there was an i'm
mense corn crop, and SO it was for
seven years. Build barns and buy
corn," was Joseph's advice each
year. So Pharoah, which was the
r kings name, followed the iniuc-
ton. He issued paper money and
= paid the highest market price al
: ways. Then the eighth year came,
Q the crops failed and the farmers
Q had to buy back the corn. They
i had plenty Of money and spent it
: literally. The next year the crops
failed again; the farmers had no
Q money, so they traded their stock
: for corn, and the next, and so on,
: there was famine in the land. The
d farmers first giving up their per-
}, sonal property, then their lands
d and, finally, having nothing else,
: they gave themselves and families
into bondage for corn in order that
: they might not starve. The king
e called crowd of them up one day
/ and made a proposition to them.
n Said he: II now have all your
P money, your stock, your personal
d property, your land ana even your
e selves as my property. Now l will
: give you back these things on these
d conditions: You can go back to

THE CONVICT PROBLEM.
Hon. Josiah Patterson's plan for Re-
forming our Criminals.

problem in Tennessee is bringing
out some very valuable suggestions
for improved methods in dealing
with criminals. Ones of them is
that of county warehouses for the
punishment Of offence of the lower
grade. Another and yet more use
full plain is one to which Hon.
Josiah Patterson, of Memphis, has
given considerable thought and to
which he is favorably inclined.
Under it all first offenders convict
ed of offences other than the higher
felonies would, on payment of all
costs, be released on good be-
havior parole, or bond under stay
Of sentence. During the term Of
their sentence they would be re-
quired to report yearly, semi-annu-
ally or quarterly, as might be con-
Guided best, to the sheriff of the
county in which the offence was
committed. On conviction Of a
second offence of any kind the pen
atty for the first could be added to
that assessed for the second, or
some other arrangement could cas-
lily be made for enforcing sentence
when the parole or bond for good
behavior was violated.
This would undoubtedly be a dis
tinct advance on the criminal laws
of any State in the Union, though
it would have its presidents in the
common law customs Of all, 1t
would give first offenders an oppor-
tunity and the greatest possible in
centive to reform, and it would
give them favorable conditions in
stead Of sending them among har-
dened criminals to graduate in
crime. 1t would be a great relief
to the taxpayer, not only by its
effect restraining second offences
but in saving the cost of imprison.
ment for the first. Under the
present system every convict who
returns to his county or takes W
his residence elsewhere after serv
ing his term is apt to increase costs
to the taxpayer not only by hi
own crimes, but by corrupting 9th
ers. Where no close supervision
of such characters is possible-anC
it never is except in cities-the re
turned convict has full opportuni
ties for corrupting others. 1t
clearly as much to the advantage
of public morals as of public econ
omy to give first offenders the op
portunity to reform Of which tn
penitentiaries deprive them.
This is a truth Of general appli
cation, but it is especially applice
