"GROVER CLEVELAND. "
The President made this or
der upon the recommendation
of Secretary Olney who had the
matter under consideration for
several months. In his report
the Secretary reviewed the re-
ports that have been frequent
in the press and in commercial
circles Of the incompetency OF
consuls and he holds that in
view of their great Importance
10 commerce. consuls should so
far as is practicable, be chosen
for special fitness for the partic
ular position in which they
are to serve. This contention
is supported by the experience
of Great Britain and other En-
ropean countries.
The Secretary refers to bills
introduced in the last Congress
to reform the consular service,
but intimates that the subject
more closely concerns the ex-
ecutive branches and he finds
power in the repealed civil SER
vice act Of 1879 to make his
order. If not sufficient then it
may be that the elaborate ma
chinery of the Senate bill may
be necessary. He intimates that
if satisfactory in its workings
the system may be extended,
but never to include consuls of
such rank as to be scarcely in
ferior to ministers who should
be selected at the personal dis
cretion of the President.

a Waco, Texas, special says:
The young couple who applied
for marriage license yesterday
which was not granted on ac-
count of the father ofthe young
lady ohjecting by telegram,
have played quite a star en-
gagement here and left as mys
teiiously as they came. The
young lady, as stated, is Miss
Bessie Gatlin Of Fort Worth,
and the gentleman is DR.. Over
peek of Philadelphia, Penn:
Miss Gatlin, is the daughter OF
w. L. Gatlin. a wealthy cattle
man of Fort Worth and is a
neice of Walstine Bowman,
mayor of Hubbard City. Mr..
Bowman was wired by Mr..
Gatlin and requested to coina
to Waco and DO all in his pow
er to prevent the marriage. He
came promptly on the next
train and assisted by Bart
Moore, proprietor Of the Paci
fic hotel, began,as they thought;
to undermine the well laid plans
Of the matrimonially inclined
couple. DR.. Overpeek was too
shrewd for them, however; and
engaged two carriages, one Of
which he caused 10 be driven
in very circuitous way about
the city in order to cause
Messrs. Bowman and Moore to
think the couple was thus try
ing TO throw them off the real
track. and with the other con-
veyance they were driven un
molested out of Waco to Eddy.
The two gentlemen in pursuit
OF the empty carriage followed
hither and thither for an hour
or so when Mr.. Bowman fired
i shot over the negro drivers
head. This caused him TO halt,
and upon coming up with him
MeSsrs. Moore and Bowman
suddenly realized the ruse that
lad been worked upon them.
On the next train came A1r:
Gatlln, but lie was met ut the
depot by Mayor Bowman, and
after learning the facts in the
case returned to Fort Worth.
Mr.. Gatlin says he objects to
the marriage Oh account Of
having heard reports detrimen-
tai to DR.. Overpeek's character.
a report reached here tonight
from Bolton stating that the
compile reached that place TO;
day, procured a license and
were married.

Physicians have discovered a serious danger to the public health in new form of baking powder large quantities of which have been put upon the market under different names. Alum baking powders have been SD unanimously condemned as unhealthful that careful housekeepers will no longer buy them knowingly. The bitter taste which they leave in the food becoming recognized by con sumers, the deception practiced in selling them for pure cream of tartar powders could be no longer main- tained. To overcome this bitter taste the manufactures are now using a mixture af alum and phosphate acid. Chemical tests, however show that the phospate and alum of the baking powder are, by the heat of baking, partially resolved into phosphate of alumina, q salt declared by chemists to be poisonous and which, being readily souble i'll the gastric juices is dangerous to be taken into the stomach. 3
