AT A GOOD OLD AGE,
Death of a Venerable Lady in New
York, Mrs. Jane :. Pierson.

Death of n Venerable Lady in New
York, Mrs. Jane :. Pierson.
The bond between the loving mother
and her atfectionate children makes its
severance the source of grief that only
those who have experienced the rupture
can understand. Such breaking of tender
ties invites the sympathy of all true
hearts and humane instincts. But when
death comes to the parent in good old
age, after peaceful and pure life, and
when expectancy of the sad event has
been aroused, it goes far towards mitigat-
ing the pain and assuaging the woe of the
mourners. It's place is taken by that
calm of grief that follows reason. and
which recognizes the inevitable.
Such must be the reflection in the midst
OF their sorrow of the five living children
of Mrs. Jane S. Pierson, who died on
Tuesday IN Warwick, Orange County.

elusive Of bank reserves, Itstands to
reasOn-nay, follows as a matter Of
course, that each dollar has been loaned
and deposited, reloaned and redepOslted
and again loaned for the sixth time in
order that there may be any money at
all in the hands OF the people Of Ne
braska. BY this process Of reasoning, l
arrive at the conclusion that the chattel

100000.
And to the justice and accuracy Of this
estimate the banks themselves furnish
corrobOratlve evidence, their statement
made to the comptroller, showing that
their "loans and discounts" amount to
just about 25 per cent. more than their

Judged by this rule, and assuming
that Kansas and Nebraska have the same
relative proportion of per capita circula-
tion, bank deposits and bank "loanS and
discounts" we find that SSthe total de

the chattel and personal security would
reach the sum total Of 84,OOO,OOO Hence

told that their gufferings arose from an
over reproduction Of commodities. They
had worked too hard, risen too early, been
too ingenious in increasing the produce of
their industry. "Yet the poor in the manu-
featuring districts were starving, with food
in abundance staring them in the face"
said Mr.. Francis; and two hundred families
were officially declared TO have among them
only four blankets.
Sir John Sinclair, in his memoirs, de-
clares that sit was great discovery when
a metallic medium was substituted for
barter; it was also great discovery when
paper convertible into coin was substituted
for gold and silver; but third discovery
was reserved for our own times, namely,
that, with an inOonvertable paper currency,
agriculture, commerce and manufacturers
might advance in a career of unexampled
prosperity"
These historic illustrations might be
cited to any extent, showing that there
Is money that saves and civilizee; and,
there is money that oppresess, enslaves
and destroys. Money is function created
by law, and not q product of nature. The
monetary function should be attached
to some appropriate material, within the
reach and under the control Of the people,
80 that the supply of money may con-
form to the national necessities. Only q
civilized people can create and use the
"numerary" money OF civilization with
out abuses. An "intrinslc" money is the
money of barbarism, and tends to that
form Of society. Such Is the concurrent
testimony of impartial history.

IN BAKING POWDER.

Discussion Before the American ChemI-
cal Society.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR:-I have just seen the report in
your issue Of September 3 Of the discus
sion at the Washington meeting Of the
American Chemical Society, August IS,
relative to the use of carbonate of am
monla In baking powders.
This report is incorrect and incomplete
in many particulars, and as the paper
which preclpitated the discussion was
read by me and was based on my own
experiments, l desire to make certain
corrections In the interest Of the truth
and for the benefit of the large number
of your readers to whom the question is
one Of great moment.
The paper as read before the society
related that ammonia in baking powder
lS retained In the bread by reason Of Its
affinity to the gluten. The consensus Of
opinion as expressed during the discus
sion was against the use Of carbonate Of
ammonia in baking powder with the on
ly exception Of DR.. McMurtrie, who is
now an employe Of baking powder COM
pany which uses carbonate Of ammonia
In its baking powder.
OF the other parties mentioned as hav-
ing taken part In the discussion were

Pennsylvania, who Is the president Of the
society and one Of our highest Suthori-

ties In answer 70 a pleading BY Prof
MCMurtrie that only small quantities Of
ammonia were used in baking powders,
he stated: "NO matter how small the
quantity, / must decline to be dOsed
medically without my consent when TAX
ing my meals"
DR.. E. Fl. Hartley, formerly chemist Of
the Brooklyn board Of health and pro-
fessor of chemistry at the Long Island
college, likewise named, did not, be-
lieve, take active part in the discussion,
but is already on record as strongly OPP
posed to the use Of ammonium carbonate
In baking powders.
Dr. Richardson volunteered only the
question whether the flour used In the
experiments was Of good quality, OF
which / assured him by stating that It
was the best and the -four used in my
family.
Prof. Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading In so far as
1t gives the impression that ammonia
disappears ON baking. My actual tests
agree with those made by others, show
ing that ammonia remains in the bread.
My investigations simply assign new
cause for It's retention.-H. Endensann,
Ph. d., In NeU York Tribune, Sept II,
1891.
Note-Dr. Endsmann, the writer Of
this communication, is we'll known in
scientific circles, and was for twelve
years chemist of the New York board Of
health.
The baking company above referred to
Is the Royal Baking Powder Company OF
New York.
And the employe, DIR. William McMur-
trie, who defends that company's use Of
ammonia, ia their much advertised gov
ernment authority.
