Devonshire's recent hint that striking
proposals are about to be launched by

visited Windsor Castle today for the
purpose of presenting Her Majesty

respective Colonies. Subsequently the
Premiers were sworn in as Privy

Temple Cup Games Abolished

Philadelphia, November 1.-THE Ma
tional Base Ball League magnates got
down to work. after devoting a couple Of
days wholly to social pleasures and
sightseeing and incidentally to figuring
on the exchange of players. 1t is ex-
on Liberty street, this city, which he
cluded tomorrow. One of the events
Of today's meeting was the abolish
ment of the Temple Cup series of post
season games, which have been played
between the clubs ending first n
second the last of the seasons.
The proposition from the minor
leagues, which modifies the rules Of
drafting players and which vas favor
ably recommended by the national

Western or Atlantic League shall be
drafted by the major league until he
shall have been two years with the min
or league club, and that not more than
two players can be drafted from any
club of these leagues.

tion, consisting of Messrs. Young, Rob-

Appeal for Aid for the Yellow Fever u1e
ers of Scranton and Vicinity

Scranton, Miss, November 9Th. 1897.
For two months the yellow fever has
ravaged our town and the surrounding
territory, while our poor laboring people,
encircled on all sides by a rigorous quar-
antine and the great majority of them
thrown out of wark by the closing down
Of nearly all our industries, have been
reduced to the most abject poverty, their
condition being greatly aggravated by
the fever which has invaded nealy every
home in the town. Our committee has
sent out several appeals for aid in behalf
Of our suffering poor. but while we have
always received generous responses, the
various amounts contributed to our fund
have not been sufficient for the work we
have in hand, and while we have re-
lieved the distress and suffering of many
a sick or needy family, we have been
greatly hampered in our work by scarcity
Of funds, and now find ourselves with
sick and poverty stricken people appeal
ing to us for aid on all sides and not
a cent left in our treasury to relieve
them with.
The recent cool weather has given the
fever a set back, and we are promised
frost by the weather prophets in a few
days. but the weather has been quite
warm for the past three days and the
fever is likely to take fresh hold if this
warm weather continues. Even when
frost does come, it will be a week or two
before work starts up again, so we can
safely look for at least a two weeks
siege yet, and in the meantime we need
money to pay for nurses and medicines
for the sick and food for the hungry
The need Is urgent, and We hope those
who have escaped the affliction will come
to our assistance.
Funds may be sent to either Of the
following gentlemen:
J. D. CLARK, Acting Mayor, r.
Scranton, Miss.
Rev. c. ]. BRODERS,
Scranton, Miss.
VOLNEY BROWN, Mayor,
P~ascagoula, Miss.

Durrant's Now Lease Of Life

San Francisco, November 12.-In view
Of the fact that the supreme court,
which is now in session at Sacramento,
will adjourn on Tuesday next until the
second Monday in January, 1t Is not con-
sidered probable that w. H. T. Durranr,
the condemned murderer of Blanche La
mont and Minnie Williams, will expiate
the crime for which he was sentenced to
be hanged in December, 1895, during the
present year. In the ordinary course Of
events, the matter cannot come up for
hearing upon the points involved in the
order granting the certificate Of probable
cause to which Durrant owes his second
lease of life, until the middle Of January
After the case has been decided, another
thirty days at least must intervene before
the remittur from the supreme .ourt can
reach the trial court and the Condemned
be resentenced for the second tina. This
course would allow the execution to take
place before the latter part Of February
or the beginning Of March next. 1t is
possible that the attorney general may
apply to- the court to advance the case.

Offer to Raise a Loan for sp.,n

London, November 13.-It is announced
that E. T. Hooley, the English fnancier,
has abandoned the proposed Chinese loan
and Is now giving his attention to Spain.
He is reported to nave offered Spain to
raise a loan Of G3, $4,000 at 4 per cent.
secured on the lines OF the old quick sill
Yer loan, which is now nearly wiped out.
The Spanish cabinet, it is, further stated,
will consider the matter next Thursday.
The project is not regarded favorably in
this city and doubts are expressed of
Hooley's ability to float it, even if Spain
accepts, which is doubtful, the Spanish
minister Of n having declared that
he does not intend to raise another loan
with the quick silver mines as security.

The Canadian Diplomats In Warrington
Washington, November 13.-While the
plans Of the Canadian contingent now in
Washington in connection with the seal
conference are not finally fixed, it is the
present expectation that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. the premier with Sir Louis
Davis, and his personal following, will
leave Washington on their return home
Tuesday. Something Of the view taken
of this Canadian mission by our govern
ment may be gathered by the following
utterance of a high administration Off
cial who has had dealings with the
"a lad premier:
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has not only been
received by the goveNnment with great
consideration, but has made an excellent
impression upon all OF the gentlemen
with whom he has come in contact. AS
a staanch Canadian scotsman, he natur-
ally demands concession for concession.
At the same time he has shown a liberal
spirit towards the plan Of increasing the
commercial intercourse of the two coun-
tries. and if he meets the views OF the
United States half way there is a very
fair n of removing from the pres
ent held Of view the most important
questions which have produced so much
irritation between the two countries dur
ing the preceding period OF conservative
administration In Canada"

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. Catarrh is
a constitutional disease. and can be
successfully treateL unly by means Of
a constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarasaparilla, which thoroughly puri-
fies the blood and removes the scrOfu-
Gus taints which cause catarrh. The
great number of testimonials from
those have been cured Of catarrh
by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the I'M
equalled power of this medicine to con-
Quer this disease. If troubled with
Catarrh give Hoods Sarsaparilla a
fair trial at once.

ooNoERNs QUA DAILY r0oD


Prof. Nallet Believes TheEols Serious DAM
ger in The Alum Baking Powder
The increased cost Of cream Of tar
tar, the chief ingredient OF a pure
baking powder, has induced some man
u~facturers to substitute burnt alum
(Which costs but three cents a pound)
largely or wholly in lieu thereof, max
ing a very low cost but unwholsome
baking powder; and efforts are made
to sell these inferior powders by the
inducement OF a lower price, and by
false representations as to their ingre-
dents and comparative value.
Our most eminent physicians are
continuously warning h public
against the use Of alum baking pow
ders, because of the unwholesome quail
tiles which they impart to the food. DR..
J. w. Ma2let, professor OF chemistry at
the University of Virginia, a scientist
of the very highest reputation both in
this country and abroad, who a
made an elaborate and exhaustive in
vestigation Of the subject, says Il am
decidedly of opinion that both the sub
stance (aIum) itself and the products
to which it gives rise in course OF max
ing bread, are injurious to health, n
on that account fall into the list OF
such food accessories as should on san
itary grounds be prohibited by law"
When an authority so we'll known
and highly respected as DR.. Mallet
makes this statement, it behooves
every housewife to take every means
in her power to insure her family
against the use of these dangerous
goods.
1t would be quite impossible to give
the names of the alum baking powders
in the market, but the danger from
alum would seem to be serious n
alarming, because Of their prominence
in almost every grocer's stock Gen.
orally speaking, they are sold at a
lower price. Sometimes, because of
their tendency to cake and spoil, they
are put up in bottles. Under the cir
cumstances and as a matter Of safety,

says, to be made from the most health.
