e. McCulloch of the Atlantic & Paci-
tic Tea company, was arrested Wednes-

Baking Powder Legislation.
The use of alum and ammonia in
baking powders has been carried to
such an enormous extent by unscrupu-
lous manufacturers, anxious either to
swell their profit or to cater to the de-
mand for cheap goods, regardless of the
stom ach Of the consumer, that bills
have been introduced during the past
year In the Legislatures of many states,
among which are New York, Minnesota,
Illinois, Georgia, Florida, ETC., requiring
such inferior articles to be distinctly la
beled. Boards Of health and food COM
missions in many cities and states have
been occupied with the same problem,
and in many instances have published
lists of powders containing alum or
ammonia, so that the public may avoid
them. Following Is a partial list of
such powders: Royal, Calumet, Bon
Bon, Forest City, Chicago Yeast and
Unrivalled.

From a traveller on yesterday morn
ing's train, were learned the rather
meager particulars of the shooting of a
tramp by Conductor Sloan on Tram No.
4 Monday evening. It seems there were
three of the wanderers snugly hidden
away on the train, and when they were
discovered by the conductor refused to
get off. They clustered and bluffed q
good deal, and finally made for the som
ductor, probably intending to scar up
his face. The conductor couldn't see It
that way, andsh shot at them with a r,easvol-
yer, fatally iDijuring one Of them. The
shooting took place at Driscoll. ]
