New YORK. Oct. 13.-The dismissal
of President John Hoey of the Adams
Express company and the resignation of
Vice President Spooner came as a COM
plete surprise to the business community.
At a meeting of the board of directors Of
the Adams Express company this alter
noon Henry Sanford was elected presi-
dent and Frederick Lovejoy vice president
to succeed Hoey and Spooner. A com
mittee was appointed to examine the
financial status of the company. Hoey
eluded the reporters. In the meeting Mr..
Sanford asked Hoey to resign his position
as member OF the board of directors, but
Hoey fatty refused. He said the direct
ors could put him out OF the presidency
but they could not displace him as a
director. 1t is understood this will be
referred to counsel for opinion. Sanford,
the new president, has been connected
with the COMPANY for fortv-fve years and
was at one time its general superintend
ent. Lovejoy was for a long time super
intendent of the Pennsylvania division o.
the company. In 1886 he resigned tc

A Lie of ParneII.

LONDON. Oct. l3.-T. p. O'Connor's
Life of Parnell'' has appeared. 1t is a
book of 223 pages. All previous
biographies accorded to Avondale the
honor Of Parnelr's place ofbirth. O'Connor
says he heard Parnell state that this WAS
Incorrect and that he was born at
Brighton. Among bis earliest influences
we're the stories he heard from the
servants and from his mother thoroughly
hostile to the existing relations OF Eng
land and Ireland. These made Parnell
the man he became.
O'Connor. speaking Of Parnells early
parliamentary career, says In present mo-
ments when passionate friends Of Parnell
denounced his opponents as murderers,
1t is well to recall the fact that Parnell
helped I O break poor Isaac Butts heart
and hastened lis end. The hand that
struck him down after the divorce disclo-
sures was his own. Strangely enough,
the idea hat he would one day ruin him
self was familiar to his colleagues for
many years.
Owing to his hermit life and instances
of alteration OF mind, O'Connor never re-
garded Parnell as a highly intellectual
man, and says he was essential, narrow.
and to this narrowness O'Connor attrib
utes the final mistake of his life. When
Mccarthy, before the last momentous
meeting in the committee room t,ld Par
nell what Gladstone had said, his reply
was to pooh pooh the whole business as a
mere DON coniormist howl, which would
die out il de6ed. One reason for bis at
tifude was his latent dislike for English
men.

A MILLION A YEAR.
Lottery and Prize Schemes Used to
Sell Alum and Ammonia Baking
Powders.

A New York concern, manufacturers
of an ammonia baking powder, boasts
that its yearly profits are over a million
dollars. While, perhaps, none of the
makers of alum powders individually can
show SO large earnings yet their profits
are enormous.
A business so profitable will always at
tract to itself those whose greed will
cause them to utterly disregard the effect
their traffic may have upon the health OF
life of others.
Alum baking powders are introduced
largely by gifts, prizes and lottery schemes.
A piece of glassware or china, a child's
wagon, sled, q pewter spoon or some
other article of attraotiye appearance, but
of small intrinsic value or cost is given
with each purchase or a number is at
tsched to the can which entities the Gus
toner to a similarly numbered article or
to a prize OF some kind. 1t is in some
such way as this that the trade in alum
and ammonia baking powders, which has
now attained such giant proportions and
their consumption by the public which
has reached an extent which is truly
alarming.
The highest authorities of all countries
condemn the use of alum in bread with
out reserve. in America the most dis
tinguished physicians, chemists and hy-
CHEMISTS have declared that the traffic in
alum baking powders should be sup
pressed by law. In England and France.
where the subject of pure food and Its
effect upon the system has been more
fully considered, and made the subject Of
extended experiments by the scientists, so
serious a matter il the use of alum in
bread or other food considered to be that
most stringent laws have been enacted to
prevent it, These laws are rightly en-.
forced, and the sale of alum baking pow
ders would not be permitted for an hour.
ANY one who attempted to make them
for use In food, or attempted to use them
for raising bread, biscuit or cake. would
suffer severe penalties.
The ill effects upon the system of food
raised by alum baking powders are the
more dangerous because of their insidious
character. 1t would be less dangerous to
the community were 1t fatal at once, for
then sucn food would be avoided; but
their deleterious action because impercept-
ible at first is no less certain,
The pickering effect which alum has
when taken in the mouth is familiar to
everyone. Physicians say this same effect
is produced by it upon the delicate coats
OF the stomach and intestines.
What housewife would take home to
her family a can of alum or ammonia
baking powder if she knew it. Such
powders not only undermine the system,
but it is pointed put that ammonia taken
into the system in ever infnitesimal
doses day after day. imparts to the com
plexion a sallow and Hotched appearance.
1t is safe to discard all baking powders
sold with a prize or gift.
What a misnomer are the words,
Absolutely Pure" as applied to baking
powders. Two OF the largest 5elhuf
brands, one made from alum. the othel
containing ammonia and both of thes'
drugsed baking powders have stamped
upon their labels and circulars thes
words, absolutely pure.'as a matter of fac
they are Absolutely Poor" as shown b
official examinations.
