The United States District Attorneyship
To THE EDITOR OF TIE TIMES: While
the matter Of federal appointments "a
being discussed permit me to name in
connection with tho Office of district
attorney for the western district Of Vir-
GINA, John Hampton Hoge. OF Mont
gomery county. This section of the
State has never had a moro indefat-
igablo worker for party success and it
will be difficult to find more efficient
stump speaker He ,m menced stump
ing for the party in the Tilden campaign
and from that time he has never failed
to labor with zeal and ability for the
party, and yet he has never held any
Office except of commemorative attor-
ney for his own county. In the fight
which has just ended so gloriously for
the party, he abandoned his law office
and for two months gave his time and
energy to the cause. The eastern part
OF this district was considered the battle
ground on account of The footing which
the Third party had obtained there, and
in the Counties Of Bedford, Campbell,
Halifax and Charlotte and the neighbor.
ing counties Of tho Fourth district he is
said to have made brilliant canvass.
While Roanoke is justly proud OF her
own achievements is it the part OF good
policy to claim monopoly of the offices?

Baking Powders Royal Officially
Reported True.

reported True.
The reports OF the government
analysts, as made public from time to
time in the official reports, form useful
subjects for study. A deal of after.
tion Is devoted TO the examination of
baking powders, and very properly 80.
for they are articles Of general use, and
many OF them being 80 grossly adul-
terated all possible information should
be given TO enable consumers to
distinguish between the good and the
bad.
A large number Of these articles
have been analysed, the samples being
collected from dealers in all sections,
The impurities found were principally
alum and lime, both unwholesome
The alum is used in place Of cream of
tartar because Of its low cost. The
lime, both tartrate and sulphate being
found, was present from the use of
improperly refined cream Of tartar.
The analysts found and reported the
Royal baking powder to be pure, free
from lime, alum and phosphate acid,
and Of high leavening strength. A
complete analysis would undoubtedly
have shown no baking powder except
the Royal entirely free from some one
of these Objectionable ingredients.
This, we presume. accounts for the
lack Of leavening power in the other
powders, as sometimes complained Of
by the cook, aud for the bitter taste
found in the biscuits so frequently com.
planned Of by ourselves.
The reasons for the chemical purity
OF the Royal baking powder were
recently given in the New York Times
Is AN interesting description of new
method for refining argols or crude
cream Of tartar. II seems that 1t is
only under this process that cream of
tartar can be freed from the lime
natural to IL and rendered chemically |
pure; that the patent and plant for this
cost the Royal Baking Powder company
about half million dollars and that
they maintain exclusive control of the
rights.
The official recognition of the purity
and value Of the Royal baking pow der
by the government Will add 20 the
already wide popularity of that article,
and deservedly so.

An ouu experience.
TITS a very funny thing" said a repre-
sentative of a we'll known carpet manu-
facturer at The Helena. 1.-THE peculiar ex-
perience a customer of mine related to me
a short time ago. I noticed a very fine an
tique rug in the show room when I was
on earth did you get that old rug?' He re-
piled, "'That rug has a strange history.
| have had that rug since ] was a young
man in the employ of Push & Co. That rug
was sold dozens of times and invariably
returned either by mistake or for some I'M
accountable reason, or exchanged for some
thing else by the purchaser who refused to
keep it on any condition. People who had
it said it was impossible to keep it in posi-
ton on the floor; it would be found on the
parlor table, On the piano or rolled up in
one corner of the roona, and one lady who
refused to keep it said that after the door
was locked and all the windows fastend Sc
curely. SO that it WAS impossible for any
one to move the rug at night. it was found
the next morning tied in a knot and lean
ing against the door. Every one who had
it related something extraordinary in CON-
nection with it." The rug referred to was
a very fine one and of a beautiful pattern.
The incident was recalled to nv mind to-
day when l was calling on Sands Bros, az l
noticed among their assortment of fine an
tique oriental rug almost the same pattern
as the one referred to. By the way, do you
know that Sands Bros. cary a stock of rugs
and carpets that surprise an eastern man.
They have certainly as choice a line or rich
rugs, carpets and draperies as you can find
any whe'e and their prices are lower than
those quoted east on similar qualities"
