OFFER TO PAROLE
All Prisoners of War if Spain Will Re-
 patriate Them.

New York, Aug. 9.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says:
 The United States has magnanimously offered to parole the 1900 Spanish naval prisoners taken at the destruction of Ad- miral Cervera's fleet whenever Spain is ready to repatriate them. With the ex- ception of the officers, who are enjoying American hospitality within the limits of Annapolis, the bulk of these prisoners are confined to the naval station at Ports- mouth, where they have the liberality of large picturesque island and are comforta- bly, quartered and fed in temporary build ings erected specially for their use.
 The offer was made regardless of the ap- preaching continuation of peace negotia- tions and simply with view of sending home a large number of national guests who had considerably overstayed their welcome and become burdens upon the host. These Spaniards have suffered scarcely any of the restraints usually put upon prisoners of war. Most of them were terribly debilitated from the deprivations they had suffered and a large percentage have had to be nursed and cared for in hospitals They have been fully restored to health and vigor.
 Although this striking instance of Ameri- can generosity to an enemy was officially laid before the Madrid authorities through the representatives of a neutral nation some days ago. no response whatever has been received beyond the simple acknowl- edgment with the, statement that 1t would receive consideration. There was every reason to believe that Spain would eagerly embrace the opportunity to get these, pfis- oners, constituting as they do, the flower of the naval force, as an important source of strength to the government at the home station
 The offer, however, did not contemplate the gratuitous transportation of the men to Spanish territory, as in the case of the garrison at Santiago. but provided only for their delivery neutral vessels. under guarantees of security in the ports of the United States. and perhaps the Spanish delay is caused bv the difficulty in securing a single transport at the present time.

BITTER TASTE.
It Aids in the Detection of Unwhoiesome
 Food.

Daniel Webster in the famous White trial in Salem, Mass, years ago declared that murder will out" This maxim has been found applicable to many other things besides murder. Housewives know 1t to be true when there is alum in baking pow der. bitterness in the bread at once be- trays the alums presence. It can't conceal its true nature. The alum bitterness will out" and because it will, physicians, who understand the harmful effect of alum dn the system, are at a loss to know why peo- pie continue to buy baking powders com taning it. All baking powders sold for twenty-five cents pound and less contain alum. There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders. For pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Prices was shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes so much farther and gives so much better results there is no doubt of its being more econ- omical in the long run.

MONEY IS GOODS"
Commissioner So Decides in a Recent Ruling.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Information having reached the internal revenue bureau that certain express companies were shipping packages of money without afiixing a rev. enue stamp thereto, the commissioner has made a ruling that money shall be re- garded as goods for the purposes of the amendment, and therefore a stamp mlst be affixed to the bill of lading or other ev- idence of receipt given therefor.
 The ruling heretofore made that 'ea ch bundle of newspapers having a different destination should have a different bill of lading and be stamped" is modified in view of opinions of senators and members of congress that such was not the intenti n of the law.
 Therefore when the tax of one cent Is paid on general bundle a package in the general bundle, the commissioner holds. which is taken therefrom and delivered at intermediate points does not require a separate receipt and stamp.

Laurel WaterWOrkS.

A gentleman interested in the establish
ment of waterworks in Laurel says the
Laurel Water Company, incorporated by
the Legislature at its recent session, is
prepared to erect waterwOrks at once.
The Baltimore incorporators are Messrs.
Joseph M. Cone, ]. Stuart Mcdonald and
William H. Minch, of the firm of Minch
& Eisenbrey. Water will be obtained
from the PatuXent river, a short distance
above the Laurel Cotton Factory. Con-
demnation proceedings will have to be
gone through with in order to secure the
right to use this locality
Laurel is being canvassed for subscrib-
ers to the support of waterworks. 1t is
thought that many of the residents will
have pipes put into their houses, and that
the town will also make liberal use of the
plant. Enough water can be secured
from the scource decided upon, it is said,
to supply the town for the next twenty
years without interfering with the motive
power of the cotton factory or the Avon
dale Touring mills, in Laurel, save for two
months in the year, during the dry season.
Millions of gallons of water go to waste
over the dams except in time of drought
like the present.
PatuXent water has been found to be
absolutely pure. The banks of the river
above Laurel to the hcadwaters are
