Secretary Blaine's Son-in-Law,
WALTER l. DAMRosCH:

"Aeter having examined your Vocation
church organ 1 must express to you ny
great surprise at this remarkable instru-
ment.
"The voicing of this organ is noteworthy;
each stop has its characteristic quality; the
flute is really flute-like and the clarinet pre-
original. Most remarkable is the close ap-
proach of sound to the pipe organ, not
many of the latter being the equal in quail
ity of tone to the Vocation church organs.
Last, but not least, the light, quick action
and never-varying accuracy or intonation
deserve special mention. Yours truly,
"WALrER l. DAMRosCH"
Mr.. Damrosch is one of the highest musi-
cal authorities in America, and his testi-
mony must be accepted rs final and conclu-
sive. The Messrs. H. Kleber & Bro, 506
Wood street, are the exclusive Western
agents, and they sell this wonderful church
organ even below manufacturers price.

ON LAND AND WATER.

Big Preparations for Columbus Day-A
Reviewing Stand in A1egheny-Nearly
800 HarshaPs Aides Reported River
men Want Big Turnout.
Arrangements for the Columbus Dav
demonstration ih this city are progressing
rapidly. There will be two parades, one
on land, the other on water. Both will ex-
ceed anything Of their respective kinds
ever seen in this end of the State. Bad
weather is the only thing which can now
spoil the programme.
Major Denniston and ex-Sheriff McCand-
less yesterday arranged with Chiefs Muir
ply and Ehlers, of Allegheny, for a review
ing stand on the market square. 1t had
been originally intended that the marshal
and his staff should review the parade in
the saddle, but as it is expected at least
80, 900 men will be in line and it would be
very tiresome to review the column in such
a position. the reviewing stand was con-
sidered necessity. AS planned, the stand
will be 80 feet long, fronting on Federal
street, and be reserved for the chief marshal,
staff and aides. and the Judges Of the
Supreme and County courts. A place will
be provided in rear of the platform for the
horses of the party. Nearly 800 persons
have signlie6 their acceptance of the cAiet
marshal's Invitation to turn out on horse
back as aides-de-camp.
Arrangements for the big aquatic Demon
stration are moving along just as smoothly
as those Of the landsmen. A meeting was
held in the Coal Exchange yesterday after
noon and was largely attended. All the
rivermen talked enthusiastically of their
proposed demonstration. Captains W. w.
O'Neil, John A. Woods and Charles Jutte
were appointed q committee to ascertain
just how many boats will participate in the
parade, with instructions to report at 1:3O
this afternoon. Comparatively few boats
have thus far reported and the success Of
the demonstration depends on the commit
tees report to-day. 1t is the intention to
form the column of boats above the Smith
field street bridge at o'clock Friday after
noon and move forward to Davis Island
Dam. Each boat will be gayly decorated.

Mt. Washington Won't Take Part.

At meeting in Mannerchor Hall, Mt.
Washington, last night, it was decided that
as body the various societies on the
Mount will not take part in the Columbus
Day parade. Lack of interest and the fact
that most of the people up there are con-
nected with other organizations which have
already arranged for the parade is the cause.
A well attended meeting of the business
men was held. Nearly every one will have
wagon IN the procession.

IMPURE BAKING POWDERS
How TO Detect Them-A Novel EXPO

The question which attracts the great
eat interest nowadays among the house,
wives of the country is how to detect
the adulteration in baking powders. This
is of great importance, for upon it de-
ponds whether or not the resulting
products are good wholesome food.
Much discussion has been INDUCED in
concerning the merits and the dement's
OF the various powders placed upon the
market. So important has become this
subject. that various state legislatures
have deemed it imperative to enact laws
recurring manufacturers of alum and
ammonia baking powders to have them
labeled as such. in order that the unwary
might not be deceived.
Any practical and easy method of de-
tecting these deleterious ingredients
must certainly commend itself to the
wise. and careful housewives of the
country. The Price Baking Powder COM
pany, Of Chicago, whose goods have be-
come SO popular on account of their pur-

reveal instantly and beyond doubt, the
presence of alum and ammonia in baking
powder. and they were then sent out to
show the test to the consumer.
One of these called at the Argus Office
this morning, and in order fairly to try
the honesty and conclusiveness Of this
test we prepared samples of different
brands of baking powder; marked them
SO that the kinds were known only to
ourselves, and handed them to her to

The test showed conclusivelyI that DR..
