On he 9Th December last, Messrs'

more then 4 century as manufacturerA

issued n circular to the trade in when
tbev stated that they had decided 70

they said "bccause II seems the only

Court OF Common Pleas OF Cuyahoga

Breakfast Cocoon.
ain TINT case the chemist employed
Inv the State testified that the sample
was made from pure cocoa, with no
other ndulterution than the removal OF
the OIL He also testified that he never
had examined any powdered cocoa en-
cept the oil had been removed or starch
or sugar added and that, without such
removal or addition, IL was impossible
10 make powdered cocoa which would
keep in our climate.
"The name Breakfast Cocoa is applied
only 10 powdered cocoa; and we have
always stated conspicuously, on every
can, exactly how ours is made-namely,
by removing the excess of OIL without
the use of any chemicals and without
the addition of starch or sugar.
"Our object has been to produce an
extract Of cocoa containing the stimu'
I0ting and celebrating properties OF
the bean in the most convenient, >1sn'.
ccntratcI and digestiblc form; and our
success has ueeh July attested by the
leading physicians and teachers OF

adopted the best method known for the
purpose, and there is no question that
the demand for the product is great and
greatly increasing"
On the 18th January, Messrs. WaltoT
Baker & Co, issued another circular to
the trade in which they said:

Court of Common Pleas to which we re-
ferred in our circular OF December ),
and decided that our Breakfast Cocoa,
being a pure article, made from tho
cocoa bean by the removal of the ex.
cess of oil, is not within the provisions
of the food law of Ohio, and that it may
be sold with its present label. This sus-
tains us in the position which we have
already maintained.-that the law is in
tended to prevent adulteration and not |
to interfere with trade in purified prod |
nets, when sold under their appropri- /
ate names.
1--WE therefore take pleasure in an
nouncing TO you that we shall at once
place our Breakfast Cocoa on sale again |
IN Ohio; and for the convenience of the
rade we shall see that a full supply
caches the State at an early day to

Ashland Base Ban Fails.

Manager J. w. Buck, and the nine timber
young gentlemen who, for a few days only,
comprised the Ashland Central Pennsylvania
League base ball team, is missing, They were
last heard of at Maysyille park ON July 4th,
since which time Ashland has known them
no more. Mr.. Buck said when he went to
Ashland that he was taking the club there as
an experiment. He had first thought Of go
ing to Lock Haven, that town having made a
strong bid for his team, but he thought that
Ashland was the better of the two towns, and
he was desirous of locating there if the town
would give him proper support, In this he
was disappointed. In the several games
played he did not cover expenses.

Judge Albright yesterday at Allentown
rendered decision which is Of general in
terest to the public, and of special interest to
the Boards of Health and Councils. Judge
Albright decided that when the city authori-
ties confine or isolate a family wherein any
contagious disease exists, the city is respon-
sible and must provide food for the quartered
family, and pay for the sustenance so
furnished
The facts in the case were set forth in the
courts opinion as follows: ''The family of
Mr.. Hopple were quarantined by the city,
because a member of the family had a
contagious disease, and all the inmates were
forbidden to leave the house that DIr.
Hopple was unable to follow his usual oc-
cupation and procure the means of a livel-
hood for himself and family, the Board of
Health directed the procurement of the
groceries, the price of which is here claimed
from the plaintiff for the Hopple family, and
that said goods were necessary to maintain
and support the family.
Judge Albright reasoned that lit must be
held that the municipality is bound to pay
for said provisions. By virtue of the police
power delegated by the State to the mu.
nicipality, the latter has the undouhted right
to isolate and confne persons because of the
existence Of contagious diseases. Humanity
and preservation Of life are the basis of such
right. The same grounds forbid that those
who for the benefit of their neighbors are
detained in their dwellings and prevented
from procuring food and other thing,
necessary to sustain life shall famish."
1T can be laid down as a rule that in thi,
age and in this land the right to contine
human being imposes the duty of supplying
him with necessary food while deprived o
his liberty. There being no express powe
to pay claim of this nature, it was the par
of prudence of the city authorities to declin,
to approve an expenditure of this kind. l
was a proper case to submit for judicia

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July s.-The work
Of rescue at the Twin shaft is steadily
growing more difficult, and one of the in
spectors said this morning that 1t will be
even more discouraging henoeforth. The
prospect of reaching the bodies is deoid-
edly gloomy, considering that the daily
progress is about twelve feet, and the sup
posed distance to the entombed men not
less than 700. 1t would therefore take
seventy days, and It is not likely that the
work will continue 30 long. Relatives of
some of the entombed men have engaged
attorneys to represent them at the hear
ing by the inspectors tomorrow. This
move Is rather surprise to the coal com
pany, which will therefore follow the pre-
cedent Charles Parrish, the Wilkesbarre
coal operator, is raising fund of $4,000
for the families left destitute by the dis
asteP.

Several weeks ago one William Bridana-
wicz was struck and killed by train in Il
cut on the Lehigh Valley railroad near the
Elmwood colliery The circumstances
pointed to suicide. Bridanawicz was insured
in the Home Friendly Society of Baltimore,
Md, for S13s and payment was refused on
the ground thata clause in the policy barred
deaths by suicide. Bridanawicz's widow
brought suit to recover the amount and last
night the case was tried before Justice Coyle
at Mahanoy City, NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq, appear.
ing fol the claimant and J. H. Pomeroy,
Esq, representing the company. The widow
set up that her husbands death was not due
to suicide. Only one witness for the defense
was examined. He was Joe Zalinski, who
was with the deceased when the accident
happened. He said they were standing on
the embankment of the cut when the train
approached and Bridanawicz made rush
down the embankment The witness would
not swear that Bridanawicz intended to, or
did commit suicide. He may have become
excited by the trains approach and jumped
the wrong way. Justice Coyle reserved his
decision.
