SHOULD THE GovRRNMRNr ACT

To Suppress Fraudulent ADVERTISE
men6s of Worlds Fair Awardss
Letters from both the Chief OF Awards
ION Agricultural at the Chicago Worlds
Fair. Mr.. j. S. Browning, and the Judge
of Awards on Baking Powders, expose
the falsity OF the claim made in behalf of
Chicago baking powder that it received
the highest award for leavening power,
keeping qualities, purity and general ex-
ceilence.
The Judge of Awards says that this
claim is false, that no such award was
given TO that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already pub
lished also shows that there was no award
given to the Chicago company for the best
baking powder.
1t now appears further that the analyses
of the powders exhibited showed a bak-
ing powder made in New York altogether
the superior OF the Chicago powder in
both purity and strength.
The Government has prohibited the use
for advertising purposes of the medals
awarded by the Eair. Itwould be great
protection to the public if the Govern
ment would also prohibit the publication
OF false claims such as those that have
been exposed in relation to such awards.
The only official competitive test oil
national character, from which consunl-
ers can obtain the actual facts as to the
relative values of all the principal brands
OF baking powder of the country, is that
made by the Agricultural Department at
Washington, ID. G. 1t so happens that
this was conducted by the same eminent
chemist who acted as Judge OF Awards at
the Chicago Columbian Fair. As has
already been published, at this examina-
ton the loyal Baking Powder was found
to be the superior powder and highest in
lsavening strength.

Sending Cablegrams.

There is a popular impression that
cablegrams are sent by hand, as are tele-
grams, and that they are received in a
dark room by signals upon screen,
Such used to be the method of their
transmission, but that has now been
superseded by better one.
1t was found lmpracticable to transmit
printed characters. The four vertical or
nearly vertical lines that make our NJ
could not be sent, but two horizontal
lines, thus, -, could be; and, after all.
the marks that are set down for this and
that sound OF the lips and vocal organs
are wholly arbitrary. Two horizontal
lines are just as appropriate for the sound
represented by the thirteenth letter of the
alphaDet as four nearly Perpendicular
ones, and they answer the purpose inst
as we'll when all know what is intended.
In devislng practicable signs for the
letters TWO systems were made. One of
these systems is in use throughout all
America and Canada. and the other svs-
tenn throughout the remainder of the
world. The United States and Canadian
lines therefore stand apart from all other
lines in the world in the matter of a tele-
graph alphabet.
The difference between these alphabets
Is solely In the employment OF the space
between parts of one and the same let
ter. For example, the letter is
There are four points or dots, but they
are separated by a space. That is the
American Y. 1t was rejected bv the
Europeans on the ground that it would
be liable to confusion with parts of pre-
ceding or following letters, and =.
put in its place. AS matter of practice.
however, no more mistakes occur with
one system than with the other, while the
American has the vast advantage of be-
ing about 70 per cent. shorter, aud there
fore to that tent faster. Other letters
in which the systems differ are +, j. l..
. p, q, r, X and u. All remaining let
ters are alike in both.-Harper's Young

LIVELY FUSILLADE OVER IN YOLO.
Gun Fight Between White Thieves
and Chinese.
One of the Former Was Wounded and
Took to the Brush, Which
Ended the Fight.

Persons in this city wondered what was
going on over on the Yolo side OF the
river last evening when they heard
fusillade that reminded old soldiers of
skirmish between the outposts OF ad-
vancing armies.
what's that shooting over in Yolo?"
one citizen asked another.
"Oh, | guess it's some of the boys
shooting wild ducks. You see it's lawful
to shoot them on that side of the river
this month, but not on this side"
Others did not believe the shots were
those of duck-shooters, and it developed
that they were right. The shooting &C.

gang of white plunderers and some Chi
nese employed on the Hoagland ranch,
with Constable at their back.
The Cinnamon claim that the white
men robbed cabin on the ranch, and
aIlerWard stood up one of their country
men on the wagon road and robbed him
of SO.
Ihey went to Washington and informed
constable Iodhunter of the occurrence,
and be went with them back to the ranch,
Whlle on their way there they met the
gang whom the Cinnamon claimed had
roDDed them, and an effort was made TO
arrest them.
The whites resisted and drew revolyers.
Inc Cinnamon did likewise, and the
shooting commenced, some twenty shots
In all being tired. 1t is said that one of
the white men uttered a yell and broke
Tor the brush on the river bank, which
was the last seen OF him. The shooting
then ceased, and the robbers disappeared
in the darkness.

Iodhunters wagon, occupied by Jim
Glenn and one or two other men. was

along the road, aud that most of the
shooting was done by the latter.

Death-Dealiug Nuisances That the
City Should Abate.
The six-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Emil Hornlein, residing on o street. near
Fifteenth, died on Wednesday night of
diphtheria. There are several cases of
this terrible disease in the northern Dor.
ton of the city.
Until the city can have its sewage sys-
tenn improved there is but one thing to
be done If we are to have anything like
safety against diseases of this character.
ana that is to have all the blocks in the
city inspected by competent and reliable
men and ali nuisances abated.
Ihere are any number of lots in
thlckly-settled parts OF the city with
open vaults that have not been emptied
III the last dozen years aud with cesspools
that are dlscharging their contents
through the soil and poisoning whole
nelghDorhoods.
one Sanitary Inspector cannot do all
that should be done, and it is nothing
snort OF criminal negligence for the
authorities to allow the present state of
Things to exist. 1t would not cost the
city more than $500 or $500 to have it
thoroughly examined, and all vaults
ana cesspools that are found to be
nulsances condemned.
1T Is not right To subject the rest of
the community TO danger from diph-
iberia and the whole class OF filth dis
eases because minority see fit to live,
like savages, in the midst of disease
breeding filth.
The proper thing to do is for the Trus-
tees and Health Board to act in unison in
the matter, make raid on all nuisances
and compel everybody to cleanse and
purify his vaults and cesspoois. 1t is
rank folly to tinker and dilly-dally with
the subject.

how Young Man Recovered Watch
He Had Lost.
Last Saturday evening there was
great rush of people for San Francisco,
consequent on the close of the State Fair.
The river steamboat had been held back
until O'Clock to accommodate those who
waited till the conclusion of the races.
The throng at the gang plank was
great and the young gentleman who Off
ciated as the dispenser of tickets at that
point was nearly crowded Off into the
river.
After several hundred people had forced
their way over the plank to the boat the
ticket-seller drew a deep breath and con-
graduated himself that he was alive.
Then he felt for his watch to see what
TIME II was, but 1t was gore.
just then newspaper man came up
with rush to board the boat, and was
informed by the clerk that the latter had
peen robbed of MS watch by someone in
the crowd that had pressed about him. 1t
was too late to search even the few sus-
plclous-looklng passengers, and he gave
the watch up as lost.
among the passengers was j. K. Fors-

explain himself.

Watch-the one you carry in the rear"
W hat are you trying to play me for?"
demanded the Sacramentan, VINO was be-
ginning to think the stranger wanted to
spring some bunco trick on him.
Seeing that Forster was in earnest. the
man reached behind him, unloosed a
chaln from one of the buttons on his coat
and held up before the astonished Sacra-
mentan's eyes handsome gold watch,
which had been dangling behind his back
ever since be had boarded the boat,
In crowding past the ticket clerk the
button on torster's coat had caught in
the clerks watch chain. pulled it loose
and carried the watch with it. Meeting
the newspaper man later on, he related
the strange incident of the finding of the
watch, and then learned how he had come
by it.

Sound Democratic Doctrine Was Dis pensed by Milner, Brennan, O'Brien aud Warnock-A
 Fine Spread.

The democrats of Mt. Pinson had a bar becue and speaking yesterday, at which a great deal of interest was manifested.
 At least 250 people were present to hear the gentlemen who had been invited to ad- dress them on the political issues.
 The first speaker was Col. John T. Mill ner. He preached sound democratic doc trines, his arguments being convincing and unanswerable. At the conclusion of Col onel Miners speech dinner was an- nounced, and all repaired 10 the tables which were burdened with the many deli cious edibles prepared for the occasion.
 After dinner Mir. Patrick Brennan de- lighted the audience with one of his usually excellent speeches. He was fol- lowed by Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, who told of the many reasons why sne people should support democracy ar vote tor the democratic nominee.
 MT Robert Warnock came last with a splendid argument in behalf of the white man 6 party. All the speeches were able, and seed that will bring forth good fruit next Tuesday were sown.
 The democrats of Mount Pinson have been working hard during this campaign n {, and have hopes of reversing the majority that box gave Captain Kolb last August. While the democrats there are happy and hopeful, the republicans are worried and downcast. Mount Pinson will redeem her self
