AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER
Discussion Before the American Chem
ical Society.

Discussion Before the American Chem
ical Society.
To the Editor Of the 73ibune-SIR: [
have just seen the report in your issue of
Septem Der 3d of the discussion 1T the
Washington meeting Of the American
Chemical Society, August 18th, relative
| TO the use OF carbonate of ammonia in
baking powders.
This report is incomplete and incorrect
in many particulars, and as the paper
which precipitated the discussion was
read by me and was based upon my own
experiments, | 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 re-
lated that ammonia in baking powder is
retained in the bread by reason of its
affinity to the gluten. The consensus of
opinion as expressed during the dis
cussion was against the use Of carbonate
OF ammonia i'll baking powder with the
only exception of DR.. McMurtrie, who is
now an employe Of baking powder
company which uses carbonate of am
monia in its baking powder.
Of the other parties mentioned as hav-
ing taken part in The discussion were
Prof. DR.. Barker of the University of
Pennsylvania, who is the President of the
In answer to pleading by Prof. McMur-
trie that only small quantities of ammo
MIA were used in baking powders, he
stated: mo matter how small the guam
tity, l must decline to be dosed medically
without my consent when taking my
meals.'
DR.. Z. H. Barley, 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 op-
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 il
was the best and the flour used in my
family.
Professor Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in so far as it
gives the impression that ammonia dis
appears on baking. My actual tests agree
with those made by others. showing that
ammonia remains in the bread. My in
Yestigations simply assign a new cause
for its retention.
III. ENDEMANN, Ph. D.
New York Tribune, September II, 1891.
Note.-Dr. Endemann. the writer of
this communication, is well known in
scientific circles, and was for twelve years
chemist Of the New York Board of
Health.
The Baking Powder Company above
referred to is the Royal Baking Powder
Company of New York.
And the employe, DIR. William Nc
Murtrie, who defends that company's use
of ammonia, is their much advertised
Government authority.
There is no such office known under
our Government as that of Government
or United States Government Chemist

Special to the REcoRp-UNIoS.
NASHVILLE (Tenn.), Oct. 21.-Thou-
sands of broken Tennessee hearts and
thousands OF empty pocket-books were
carried away from Cumberland Park
this evening. Direct, that matchless
California PAGER, had shown Hal Pointer
his heels in three straight heats. The
time of the second heat was the best ever
made in race III harness, lowering Hal
Pointers record half y second.
In the first heat Pointer had the pole,
and held ituntil the quarter, when Direct,
who had been on almost even terms with
him from the start, made a magnificent
squirt and pulled away.
The second heat saw Direct at the pole,
and he held it throughout. The best
Pointer could do was To stay abreast up
to tile half-mile, when Direct gradually
drew away.
The last heat was q repetition of the
others.
The time by quarters was: First heat
-0:32f, l:U5l, l:3S3. 2:l0: second-0:32tt
1:044, 1859, 2:094; third-0:32!, 1:65, 1:38i,
2:lI.
1t was believed by many that Direct
could have gone in 2:09 in the second heat
had Pointer pressed him more closely.
Pointer was big favorite in the pools on
the first heat, selling for $50 against SIl
for Direct. Betting for the second heat
was not materially changed, but the third
found Direct selling at $40 against So for
Pointer.

ADVANCE ASSESSMENTS
Endowment Societies Debarred From
Collecting Them.

Endowment Societies Debarred From
Collecting Them.
Judge CARRIER of San Francisco has set
tied long wrangled over proposition be-
tween endowment societies and their Da-
irons in his decision in the case of
Thomas c. Hogan against the Pacific
Endowment League. Hogan joined the
policy for 5000, payable in installments
OF $500 each. The first installment of
$500 was due and payable in January.
1891, provided he met all his dues and
assessments. According TO the terms Of
the contract it looked at the start as
though Hogan was TO get each $500 in
stallment for the payment of something
like S72.
Hogan met his assessments, levied on
the death of members, and paid his
monthly dues regularly. In January last
he presented his first coupon TO Secre-
tary J. y. Lueders and demanded $500.
The Secretary refused to turn any money
over 10 him unless he first paid his lad
vance assessments"
The advance assessment" is q scheme
TO get even on the proposition of giving
man $500 for less than 500. The genius
who originated it started with leyying
only a few assessments on the holders OF
coupons that were due. OF late, how
ever, the method has been abused. and
NOW coupon Holuer may De caIieu upon
TO pay an indefinite number. The first
coupon holder knows of how many
advanced assessments are standing out
against him is when he tries to collect his
coupon.
Hogan expressed himself very strongly
about the counter bill brought against
him, and declared point blank he would
not submit TO the outrage. The league
refused to turn over any money unless
he did, SO Hogan engaged Attorney Col
Inns and took the matter before the Su-
perior Court.
He obtained Judgment fer the full
amount.

BRIEF NOTES.

Tomorrow evening is the time fixed
for meeting of the Turf and Driving
Club at the Golden Eagle Hotel.
The smudge from the rubbish fires in
the streets at all hours of the day and
evening is becoming unbearable, espe-
ciaily to invalids.
superintendent Wright is credited with
the statement that the railroad company
will begin next week the work of raising
the Front-street tracks.
AT a conference of the vocalists who
participated in the concert at the Pa
Vilion last evening it was decided, on mo-
ton of Elwood Bruner, to hold meeting
next Tuesday evening for the purpose OF
forming choral society.
The statement to the effect that the
Westminster Circle is the oldest literary
and scientific circle in Sacramento is in
correct. Vincent is the circle referred to,
and is little jealous of that honor. The
next meeting Of the circle will take place
at the residence of Mrs. G. r. Moves. Il3(

Rescued From the Depths of Misery.

The misery endured by unfortunates
whose livers are derelict in duty is un-
speakable. Sick headaches, nausea. cos
tiveness, disorder of the digestive appa-
ratus, heartburn, vertigo, unrest, sourness
of the breath, uneasiness beneath the
short right ribs and right shoulder blade,
tickle appetite, are among the hateful in
dicia of biliousness, which, however,
speedily vanish when Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is employed as regulator.
Most etfectually is its work of disciplin-
ing carried out, as a complete renewal of
the digestive, secretiye and evacuative
functions satisfactorily proves. In eases
of malarial disease the liver is the princi-
pal gland involved. and for maladies of a
malarial type Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is an absolute specific. As a laxative
painless but effective-it is unriyaled, and
it is an admirable preventive of chronic
kidney trouble and rheumatism, and a
superb general tonic and corrective.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA. S. Cleghorn,
Collector of the General Customs in the
Hawaiian Islands, who has been in this
city for day or two, left last evening for
san Francisco, en- route for Honolulu.
He said: II want to deny the reports
that have been circulated respecting the
reigning Queens health. Since my de-
parture in June, and up to the last letter
received, the Queens health has been
particularly good. There is not the
slightest influence in Hawaii, and there
is not the slightest foundation for the re-
ported growth of English influence in
Hawaii, and the eventual annexation of
the island by Great Britain. / have lust
had the satisfaction of giving the President
and State Department denial of these
Government in the world is so close to
Hawaii as the United States. There is no
thought of British supremacy"
Mr.. Cleghorn added: ''No country
will get the better Of any other as regards
its relations with us. We want to be on
good terms with all the great Powers,
particularly the United States. Our in
terest is closely identified with this coun-
try, ana hope that the good feeling will
always continue. The Mckinley bin has
hurt our sugar industry considerably,
since it allows that product to come in
free from other countries, but we hope to

In the Senate.

The Senate proceedings were dull and the
only thing that disturbed the mOnotOny
was the discussion OF the substitute for
Senator Culver's bill regulating hunting
and fishing.
The bill to prohibit dealing in futures in
foot products was adversely reported by
the general judiciary committee.
Among the bills passed on third reading
were:
By Mr.. Henderson of Jasper-To require
constabes in incorporated towns TO give
bonds of $500 and outside of town bonds of
$500.
THE STATE CHEMIST REIMBURSED.
The bill by Mr.. Boifeuillet Of BIbb to re-
imburse the state chemist for expenditures
made in furnishing analyses Of fertilizers
brought about some discussion. 1t was OPP
posed by Senator Irvine of the Forty-sec-
ond district, but on the vote he was the
only senator voting against the appropria-
ton.
The substitute for Senator Culver's bill
to prohibit hunting and fishing on certain
lands In certain counties IN the state WAS the
special order for IL o'clock. The bill met
with strong opposition from some counties,
but was finally passed after being amended
to require the recommendations of two con
| secutive grand juries, and to allow sepa-
rate militia districts in the same county to
adopt the law at the pleasure OF Its citi-
Zeas.
The bill by Mr.. Ryals of Chatham, to
| limit the compensation of county treasur
ers, was read third time and passed.
