To Suppress Fraud ulent Advertisements
OF Worlds Fair Awardsf
Letters from both the chief of awards
ION agriculture) at the Chicago Worlds
fair, Mr.. J. s. Browning, and the Judge of
awards on baking powders expose the
fasity of the claim made in behalf of q
Chicago baking powder that it received Tire
highest award for leavening power, keep
ing qualities, purity and general excel
lence.
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 baking
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 fair. 1t would be great
protection to the public if the government
would also prohibit the publication Of false
claims such a. those that have been ex-
posed in relation to such awards.
The only official competitive test of q
national character. from which consumers
can obtain the actual facts as to the rela-
tive values of all the principal brands of
baking powder of the country. is that
made by the agricultural department at
Washington City. 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 al
ready been published, at this examination
the Royal baking powder was found to be
the superior powder and highest in lesven-
ing strength.

Wants Pullman's Taxes Increased
New York Tailors to Strike.

WAsHrgsToS CRY, Sept. 25--Commis-
sioner of Labor Wright. chairman of the
United States commission appointed to
investigate the Chicago strike. arrived in
the city this morning. The committee,
which adjourned August 80 is to reas-
semble at the Office of the department of
labor tomorrow to decide whether any
further testimony is needed. to hear or to
receive any further suggestions with refer
ence TO the remedies that may be volun-

be has done no work upon the subject
since the adjournment, although he
has given 1t much thought during the re-
cess, while the testimony was being pre-
pared. 1t is expected that the testimony
will make about 200 printed pages.
Mr.. Wright, when seen by an As
sociated Press reporter, had not yet
looked over his mail, and was un-
able to say whether any further
volunteer testimony would be offered or
not. The report should be in the hands
of the president by the middle of Novem-
Der. in order that ne can incorporate any
suggestion he desires to make in reference
to it in his annual message to congress on
the first Monday in December.
DO you anticipate any practical dement,
from the work of the commission % he was
asked.
The commission was in no sense
one of arbitration" replied Mr..
Wright 'as so many people sup
pose The law contemplated only an
official investigation of the strike-the de-
termination of its causes, and suggestions
tending to a remedy TO be used as a basis of
action, should any legislation looking to the
correction of any existing evil be deemed
necessary. The commission 10 In no sense
a judicial body. and has no power to con-
denim any of the parties. 1t will simply
lay before the president an official investi-
CATION of the greatest strike in the history

A Brave Rescue.

"Oh, save him, save him" Shrek
ed a distracted woman, as she made
frantic endeavors to force open the
door Of q house in the cellar of
which fire was raging in the up
per part of the city day or two
ago.
"Who? Is there anybody in the
house?" asked a brawny fireman.
"Yes; ON God, save my Bennie," "
she yelled.
The fireman forced the door and
bravely made his way into the room,
followed by the woman.
"There, there" she cried, ION the
table,"
The crowd outside held its breath,
and a cheer went up as the two re-
appeared at the door, the fireman
carrying the rescued soul in his
strong arms.
1t was canary, and it chirped as
lively as though it was surprised at
the excitement.-Ex.

A Hard Handicap.

A party of football devotees were
in an elevated train, and the other
passengers were much annoyed by
their loud and boisterous converse
ton, which related entirely to the
game and its players. One young
fellow boasted so long and earnest
ly about his sprinting abilities that
a crusty old man in the opposite
corner resolved to take some of the
conceit out Of the youngster.
$50 you think you can run a lit
tle?" he demanded.
"Bet your life / can," was the
prompt reply.
II tell you what Ill do with you,"
continued the old man. I'LL race
you for five-dollar bill if you'll
give me yard start"
I'll go you. But where will
we runp"

reply.-New York Herald.

A New World to Her.

The 20-year sleep of Rip Van
Winkle is realized in it's salient fea-
lures by the experience of lady
who visited relative in the George
town convent a short time ago.
The two had been intimate friends
in their youth, though since the one
entered the cloister and took the
veil their meetings had been few
and far between. During the call
the visitor happened to mention
that on the day before she had been
in one of the leading stores Of the
city shopping on the third floor.
WHAT exclaimed the nun; ''do
they have stores with three floors? ?
| didn't know there were such things
as three-story stores. How strange
it must seem!"
The nun, who had long since
passed the meridian of life, could
remember only the one-story places
of business that existed in the in
fancy of the city. During the years
of the transformation of the village
of Washington into great city,
she had dwelt in its midst, yet knew
nothing of the change.--Washing-
ton Post.

Taken at Her Word.

To be taken too literally at ones
word is often more annoying than
not to have proper attention paid
to ones expressed wishes. This has
been the experience of Washing
tonian who aspires to place in the
literary world. Having in contem-
plation new story, she decided to
go to the country for several weeks
during the theories of literary COM
position. To this end she wrote
and engaged room in quiet farm
house, telling of her purpose in Sc
curing accommodations. At the
same time she stated that she wished
to be left so absolutely alone that
not only was she to have the pri-
vacy of her room undisturbed, but
she preferred not to have her
thoughts interrupted by converse
tion while at table. The answer
proving satisfactory she went down
in the country for at least fort
nights stay, after the manner of a
beloved literary model. The family
at the farmhouse so faithfully car
ried out their part of the bargain
that meals were carried on in the
most profound silence. After the
first greeting upon the arrival of
the literary young woman, she
might have been housed with deaf
mutes, for any outward evidence to
the contrary. Overtures OH her
part toward conversation were
wholly ignored, and after three days
of the most appalling silence, the
lonely girl, realizing that she had
been beaten at her own game, gath
cred up her belongings and return
ed with all speed to Washington

When War is Declared

Against mans happiness by his stomach, the
enemy may be pacifed and brought speedily and
easily to terms. That potent regulator of diges-
ton, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters disciplines the
rebellious organ thoroughly. Indigestion ARISES
from weakness of the stomach, and the food in it,
for want Of the power to digest, decomposes and
acidifes, giving rise to heartburn, aatulence and
pain, besides multitude ofsymptoms both change
full and perplexing. But peace soon reigns when
the great stomachic is resorted to and used with
persistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to morbid dis.
oomposure Of mind. and even sleeplessness and
hypochondra in chronic cases. To the complete
dismissal Of these the Bitters is fully adequate.
Liver complaint, constipation debility, rheumatism
and malaria are completely subdued by this genial
medicine.

The Wives of an Esquimaux.

tablished or regulation limit in the
Esquimaux plurality system, but |
know of no law that prohibits the
acquisition of a greater number,
provided one seems disposed to have
them. No rites or ceremonies are
performed in either marriage or di-
vorce.
The usual mode of acquisition is
for the young man desiring a wife
to select the party he prefers, and
after arranging with her, if his
father or mother think it q proper
match, one or the other of them
goes as an envoy on behalf of the
son to the father, mother, or other
party having charge Of the bride
elect, who asks for her, and if agree
able, the lady is told she can act her
pleasure in the matter, and then
all ceremony ends.
The young man is notified and
comes to his bride, with whom he
lives as long as agreeable to both
parties, but if either become dissat-
isfied and desires to separate they do
so, the woman returning to her
people, and the man has no control
over her after the separation, she
being at liberty to marry again
when she will. If after the first
marriage a second wife is desired
she is acquired in the same manner,
and very often sister Of the first
wife will be elected, and sometimes
the third wife may be sister Of the
first two.
If there be but one wife in the
family she is expected to attend to
all domestic affairs in the tent of
barbara, such as cooking-no wash
ing is ever done-making sealskin
boots, shoes or clothing, and follow
her husband and run ahead of the
dogs if going on a sledge journey,
or to assist in working the boat if
he goes out on the water, all of
which duties, aside from the care of
her children, if she has any, keep
the poor little wife very busy, and
when a second wife is brought into
the family it is probably with the
best wishes of No /, who is to have
her labors lightened to the extent
of one-half, and doubtless is quite
willing to make a fair division of
the icy affections and frigid regard
of her lord and master, who does
not lord it to a very great extent,
as we shall see farther on.
No. 8, is rather luxury than
necessity, but she is often "there." "
When the domestic affairs are ar
ranged, and each takes her proper
place, No. 8, if she be, as is almost
invariably the case, young and pret-
ty, goes on all sledge and water
journeys with her husband, No.
and 2 dividing the household duties
between them if in the barbara, or
if in the tent, one doing the cook
ing and sewing, while the other
hunts, traps and tans such skins as
are taken to be sold, traded, or used
in the family.
All seem to get along amicably,
and as each provides for herself in
wearing apparel, no jealousies can
arise on that score, as each has the
power to dress we'll or indifferently.
