Baking Powder Bill Passed bv the
Minnesota Senate.

The recent newspaper discussion of the
dangerous qualities of ammonia comes
from the alarming increase of its use in
baking powders, People who absorb it
in small quantities from day to day suffer
from slow ammonia poisoning. Taken in.
ternally in sufficient quantities it eats
away the coatings of the stomach and in
testines and auses death. Slow ammo
MIA poisoning produces various forms of
stomach trouble,
Not one woman in ten thousand would
use an ammonia baking powder if she
knew it. Such powders not only under
mine the health. but ammonia imparts a
sallow and blotched complexion,
Following is the bill recently passed BY
the Minnesota senate. It's the danger
signal which the law throws out tor the
protection OF the people:
A Bill for an Act to Regulate the
Traffic II Baking Powder.
Section Amy person who shall
knowingly sell or procure the sale, or offer
for sale Of any package or can OF Baking
powder; containing any ammonia in it,
not distinctly, legibly and durably branded,
stamped or marked in a conspicuous place
with words in the English language This
Baking Powder contains Ammonia" in
letters of great plea or any letters equlva.
lent thereto in length, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished by a fine not
less than 500 nor more than $50; shall be
confined in the county Jail not less than
ten or more than twenty days or both fine
and imprisonment, at the discretion OF
the court.
Section 1.-The sale or offer for sale of
the substance mentioned in the foregoing
section in packages not stamped, marked,
branded or labelled as therein required,
shall be prima facie evidence of know
ledge OF the character of said substance,
on the part of the person so selling or
offering for sale and his employer.
Section 3.-This act shall be in force on
and after its passage.
NOTE An incident occurred in the
house when the senate bill came up for
passage, in reference to an amendment
proposed by Mr.. Dimeut. This was
opposed by several members. MI. Feig
said that If the bill as it came from the
senat was all right her the amendment
was all wrong. The amendment com
peling the printing Of the word Am
monia" on the label only affected the
Royal Baking Powder, and no wonder
they felt the senate bill was a blow at
them,

Chief Bullard and his thirty-two SAM.
tary policemen have completed their
census of the tenement house population.
The work has been in progress for eight
months, and it will be a long time before
the results can be collated.
1t Is estimated that the number of
tenements in New York is over 40, 900.
The number of families living in them
will foot up nearly 300, 900, ~aggregating
a tenement house population of 1, 300, 900.
Chief Billiards. men have learned what
proportion of the rooms they visited are
used for workshops. They have inspected
in the dead of night fats that swarmed
with people to find out what the sanitary
conditions are. They have viewed yards,
cellars and stables, and they have
counted horses, dogs, pigs and goats, as
well as people.
Nothing like this system of tenement
house examination has ever before been
tried, except as applied on a limited
scale some time ago to the Hebrew cloth
ing workers on the west side by the re-
lief committee of the Baron Hirsch fund.
1t can be stated with certainty that
there is a tendency to build houses with
for four families on a floor where
formerly two families occupied the same
space; that the season has been above
the average in health; hat compare
lively few children under fourteen have
been found at work.-New York World

Is THIS CIVILIZATIONS
Shameful Scenes In Connection with tn
Park Place Disaster.

m Scenes In Connection with the
Park Place Disaster.
The Park place disaster has been
spoken of in the daily papers as horrible.
This seems a proper adjective enough
under the circumstances, but the acct
dent, while horrible enough at first, be-
came degrading and Extensively vulgar.
What was a public calamity was made
a public show. Where the dead and
those who were nearest to them should
have been alone admitted, politicians,
amateur photographers and lemonade
sellers crowded close to see, and graft
fed their love for what was awful and
unusual. The police were not alone to
blame for this. It was the spirit of the
crowd, and the crowd was the spirit of
the people of this city, where no man
knows his next door neighbor or the
ledger over his head on the floor above
or cares to know him. For any display
of local or real feeling shown in this dis
aster, it might have occurred In Chicago
or San Francisco or st. Petersburg.
Anything more unfeeling, undignified
and degrading than the scenes that fol-
lowed the sudden burial Of the Park
place victims has not been known in
New York for many days. The whole
thing, from the brutal apathy of the po-
lice toward the mourners to their equally
callous treatment Of the dead, was
shameful and barbarous. The men in
charge of the ruins and their removal
were intoxicated a great part of the
time. There was no sacredness for the
dead nor regret for the living. The
mayor telegraphed his regret three days
after the disaster occurred, and Commits
sioner Gilroy visited the scene on the
fourth day. In the meanwhile an unor-
ganized gang of Italians picked gingerly
at the bricks, fearful lest they might
come upon a dead body, and the mass Of
ruined buildings, wrecked machinery
and mangled human beings REMAINED
for four days ION exhibition" to thou.
sands of callous sensation lovers.
The heads Of the city departments,
who might or should have been in charge.
did not appear until the leisurely re-
moval Of the dead and the wreck about
them was accomplished. And the man
agement of this, perhaps the greatest of
disasters that has come to this city for a
quarter of a century, was left in the
hands of a police captain, a foreman of
an engine house and the unsympathetic
interest of the never decreasing audi
ence of morbid spectators. The sum
that is being raised for the survivors, no
matter how large it may become, will
not wipe out the memory of the four
days in which the disaster was treated
as a public show.-Harper's Weekly.

Cinnamon for Whom There was
No Resting Place.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct, 6 1t is an
nounced that officers of the Imperial
Guard have decided not to drink cham
paigne at any regimental banquets and to
contribute the money which would have
been so spent to the peasants OF the fam
inc stricken districts, All classes of citi-
zens here are following the example of
the car and have resolved to abandon all
entertainments during the winter and
contribute the money thus saved to funds
for the alienation of the distress of the
Vanishing people. Most public officials
their intention to devote a GER
tain percentage of their salaries to the
same purpose, and workmen have decid-
ed to give a proportion of their humble
wages. Even children will offer their lit
tie savings. Collections are being taken
in all the churches every feast day. A
stream of relief. is coming in through
wide channels, but the system of distribu-
ton, it is said, Is very defective.

A Biscuit a DaY.

BosToN, Oct. 6.-Cable advices from
Russia say that entire states are being de,
serted on account of the famine. They
also assert a new law has been made for.
bidding the sowing of seed this fall, Sc
that the acreage next year will not be suff.
eient for home supply and still less for *.
port. So great is the distress that people
have been driven to pillage each other,
first setting fire to villages and then rob,
bling the inhabitants. By the united
charities OF the government and people a
biscuit a day is allowed to every individ.
ual in the famine district. The distress
is a greater menace to the government
than all the efforts OF nihilists, and the
famine may cause a revolution where love
OF liberty has failed. Aid is being sent
in by Holland Jews and the Nihilist soci,
cites OF America have sent $4,000.

man. a Young merchant OF American
Fork, Utah, was swindled out OF "a. 600

deal at the stock yards yesterday. Chip

to sell. Smith offered a good price. He
did not have the money with him, he
SAID. and offered to pay Chipman's ex-
penses to Kansas City if he would come
here with him to sell the cattle. The cat
tie were shipped IN Smiths name and he
sold them, pocketed the money and dis
appeared. Chapman is about % years
old and is a Mormon. His father is
said to be one of the weaithiest and most
influential men in his section of country.

LATTER DAY SAINTS.
A Denial that Their Church
Dominates in Politics.
Polygamous Marriages Have
Been Strictly Forbidden.
Report of the Utah Commission
Pronounced Untrue.
The Mormon Protest.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 6.-At today's SEES
sion of the Mormon conference a lengthy
set of resolutions was adopted relative to
the statement made by a majority of the
Utah commission in its recent report to
the secretary of the interior. The resolu-
tions set forth that the commission made
many %untruthful statements concerning
the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints.
The general conference In these Iesolu-
ions deny most emphatically the assertion
of the commission that the church DOM
mates its members in political matters
and that the church and state are united.
Whatever appearance there may have
been in the past of a union of church and
state the cause was hat those holding
ecclesiastical authority were elected to
civil Office by the popular vote. There Is
now no foundation or excuse for the state
ment that the church and state are united
in Utah or that the leaders of the church
dictate to members in political matters.
No coercion or any otter influence what
ever of an ecclesiastical nature has been
exercised on US by our church leaders in
reference to which political party we shall
join and we have been and are perfectly
free to unite with any or no political party
as we may individually elect. Tue Peo-
pies party has been entirely and finally
dissolved and our fealty henceforth will
be to such national political party as
seems to US best suited to the prosperity
OF a republican government.
The resolutions further declare that the
members of the conference do not believe
there have been any polygamous mar
rlages solemnized among the Latter Day
Saints during the period named by the
commission, and denounce statements
which convey the idea that such marriages
have been contracted as false and mis-
leading. They protest against the per
versions of fact. principle and intent con-
tanned In the report of the commission
and declare that the manifesto OF Presi-
dent Woodruff forbidding future plural
marriages was adopted at last October's
conference in all sincerity and good faith
and that we have every reason to believe
it has been carried out in letter and spirit.
The conference appeals to the press and
people OF the country to accept its united
declaration and protest; to give it public
ity and aid in disseminating the truth,
that falsehood may be refuted and justice
done to people continually maligned and
almost universally misunderstood.
Following this a declaration signed by
President Woodruff. George Q. Cannon
and Joseph F. Smith was adopted, saying
the commissions report of polvgamous
marriages is utterly without foundation in
truth, and repeating, in the most solemn
manner the declaration by President
Woodruff at the general conference, that
there have been no plural marriages dur.
ing the period named; that ~polyeamy has
not been taught and that the practice has
been strictly forbidden.
After the usual election of officers, the
present incumbents being returned, the
conference adjourned.

Gently that the Americans who gained
such influence at the court of Wurtem-
berg some time ago would resume their
sway, in which case, it is understood, the
late king would have been forced to abdi-
cate had not Queen Olga undertaken to
prevent a recurrence of the scandals. The
king since that time, according to the 81.
James Gazette, has been practically a
prisoner in his apartments. as it was
feared he would escape from Stuttgart
and go to Paris. which, the paper con-
cludes. would probably have resulted in a
