Science in Bread MakIne.

AT the recent annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, held In Washington,
ID. O., the question of the value of carbonate
of ammonia as leayening agent in bread,
or as used In baking powders came up for
discussion, in which Prof. Barker, of the
University of Pennsylvania. and President
of the Society; DR.. Richardson. late of the
United States Department of Agriculture In
Washington; DR.. VIM. McMurtrie. late Prof.
of Chemistry in the University of Illinois
DIR. <. 81. BARLEY, late Chemist of the Brook
Ign, N. Y, Board of Health, and Prof. of
Chemistry of the Long Island College, and
others took part.
The consensus of opinion was oyerwhelm-
ing in favor of the employment of ammonia
1t was stated as fact that ammonia rem
dered the gluten of the flour more soluble
than the original gluten. and that the bread
in which this action was produced by car
Donate Of ammonia must be mole digestible
aud hence more healthful, and because Of
the extreme volatility of carbonate of am
monia, and its complete expulsion from the
bread in the process of baking, it is one of
the most useful, most healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. j. w. Mallet, of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, which show conclusively
that bread made with baking powder in
which one per cent. of carbonate of ammonia
is used, in connection with cream of tartar
and soda, is not only of uniformly better
color and texture. but product more whole
some, because the ammonia serves to neu-
tralize any organic or tactic acids present in

IN the prosecution of the case against the

bondsmen has been dead for half score of
years; one has been insane for longer
period than that. These points are talked

for fuller details of the defalcation as one

The directors of the bank regard all these
objections as captious and invalid, and
have no doubt that the bond will be paid
In full.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

bhrOhh OO0h bONNEIs
SATURDAY-The following business was
transacted:
Charles K. Kiddee, liquor nuisance, plead
ed not guilty. Patrick Costello, same of
Tense, pleaded not guilty. Charles +. Bro
gan pleaded not guilty to an indictment for
breaking and entering.
The following pleaded not guilty to liquor

Ellen Howley, John d. Keefe, Andrew
Lang. Martin Lang. Patrick F. O'Connor,

Mary Callahan pleaded guilty to an indlct-
ment for liquor nuisance.
Bertha Hubbard, has been before the court
a number of times 10 past years for keeping
disreputable house. Several years ago she
answered through her counsel, the late
Judge Goddard, that she had made up her
mind to abandon the business forever and
promised that If sentence was suspended in
the nuisance case, upon which she then
stood convicted, she would so conduct her
self that she could not even be suspected of
being connected with any unlawful business.
Thereupon sentence was suspended and her
case was placed upon the special docket. At
this term she was arrested upon al indict-
ment under the nuisance act charging her
with keeping house of Ill fame as we'll as
for the sale of liquor, and when brought In
sne offered bail. Judge Bonney said 1t
would be entirely unnecessary for her to
give bail because she would be for a year al
least where the county attorney could have
attendance at any time. She was then SEN
fenced to one year In jail on the old indict
melt.

A Remarkable Case.

The Auburn Gazette speaking of a late
Grand Army affair in that city says:
C0mrade Elisha l.. Hall introduced his
four brothers, Samuel P, Lorenzo, Cyrus and
Luther c.; the oldest being "a years old and
the united ages of the five brothers being 33S
years. Four of them served in the late war
and the other, the Oldest, served in the Mad
awaska war. The father was In the war OF
1872 and their grandfather was an old Revo-
lutionary soldier. Elisha l.. and Cyrus are
two sons In the late war. But the most re-
markable thing about this remarkable fami-
ly is that these five brothers have never been
all together before, the Oldest one leaving
home before the youngest was born. Col
VIM. L. Eustis responded to this introduc-
ton in stirring remarks.
Elisha L., one of the brothers. will be re.
membered as popular police officer in this
city during the mayoralty Of Hon. Benjamin
Kingsbury.

The Public Bath House.

The city bath house is closed for the sea-
son. Next year an addition will be con-
structed for women and children, with wo-
man superintendent. 1t is the idea to fence
In the beach which is to be used by women
and children, leaving space beneath for the
tide to flow in and out so that at high tide
the water at the farthest end will be about
four feet deep. This will shield the bathers
from sight and allow any lady who desires
to enjoy the pleasures of salt water bath
without any feeling Of embarrassment.
Next season 1t is intended to have some
sort of an overhead bridge or arrangement of
fences from the promenade to the bath houses
which will remove the necessity Of crossing
railroad tracks, which has been the case this
year.
During July 1877 bathed. The smallest
number was 10 on July 4th, and the largest
1908 on the 10th. During August 14,045
bathed. The smallest, August 25tb. 4, and
the largest, August 18th, 1892.

The MackAraI EIaaf

The landings by the fleet are larger thar
usual, aggregatng about 1000 barrels, In
fares running from % to 200 barrels, mostly
caught two or three weeks ago along the
eastern shore. Nothing of consequence was
done last week in the way of catch
and fishermen are beginning to fear that the
bulk of the mackerel have passed by. Large
schools are reported to have recently been
seen on the Maine coast, but the weather
was unfavorable for making good hauls If
the fish should show up. a few weeks more
OF good fishing might be had, but the vessels
will soon thin out, as the mackerel are
scarce and go into winter quarters. The
catch SO far is considerably ahead of last
year, and larger than for three years previ-
Gus, but it is Insignificant compared with
flush wears.
