ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA.
YOUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND.
Requirements Relative to Your
Health That Are Indis-
pensabIe.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the camp
or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used
it must be baking powder; and the pow
9l6,l44 pieces of mail in "a years.
Royal Baking Powder Company, miners
and prospectors have learned, is the only
one which will stand in that peculiar eli
mate of cold and dampness and raise the
bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for every
one proposing to go to Alaska and the
Yukon country to know, for should he be
persuaded by some outftter to take one
of the cheap brands of baking powder it
will cost Just as much to transport it,
and then when he opens it for use, after
all his labor in packing it over the long
and difficult route. he will find a solid
caked mass or a lot of spoiled powder with
no strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results
Alaska is no place in which to experiment
in food, or try to economic with youi
stomach. For use in such climate, and
under the trying and fahguing condl
tions of life and labor in that country, ev
erything must be the best and most use
food supplies shall have perfect keeping
qualities. 1t is absurd to convey ovel
such difficult and expensive routes an ar
ticle that will deteriorate in transit, Of
that will be found when required for us'
to have lost great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow II
these matters than the advice of thos'
who have gone through similar expert
enee. Mr. McQuesten, who is called "th'
father of Alaska" after an experience o
years upon the trail, in the camp, and il
the use of every kind of supply, says: "W
find in Alaska that the Importance of ;
proper kind of baking powder cannot b.
everestimated. A miner with can o
bad baking powder is almost helpless II

have been obliged to settle down to us
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger ant
carries further, but above all things,
is the only powder that will endure tn
severe climatic changes of the arctic re
sion."
1t is for the same reasons that the U. 5
government in its relief expeditions. an
Peary, the famous arctic traveller. hav
carried the Royal Baking Powder eS
clusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not cak
nor lose it's strength either on board shi
or in damp climates, and is the most higl
ly concentrated and efficient of leavenin
agents. Hence it is indispensable to ever

ing companies in Alaska, but should til
miner procure his supplies before leavin
he should resist every attempt of the on
filter to palm off upon him any of ii
other brands of baking powder, for the

appointment and trouble.

Murder by Mail.

~ NE of yesterday mornings dis
patches said that the chief of
police in San Francisco is in
communication with the Delaware au-
thorities regarding the poisoning of
Mrs. Dunning and her sister, Mrs. Dean,
and that he is 'hampered in his efforts
to trace the guilty person because the
Delaware authorities have not sent him
any evidence. he desires the box in
which the candy was inclosed.."
This is a case of murder which is sup
posed to have been accomplished by

An Interesting Lecture.

DIR. w. A. Spencer of Philadelphia de-
livered his lecture, The Great Battle
fields of the World in the NJ. T..
church last night. The q. A. r. veter-
ans had been especially invited to at
tend. and quite a number were present,
occupying front seats. DR.. Spencer ia
vored the audience with several patri-
otto longs, some of which were en-
cored with great enthusiasm. His lee
ture was very comprehensive and clear,
covering ancient and modern times.
His great faculty of comparison was
especially manifest when he argued
that most of the great so-called battles
of ancient times were only skirmishes
and panics when compared with the
great battles of modern times. As a
descriptive word painter DR.. Spencer
excels. Many of the leading battles oil
the war of the rebellion were described
so fully and in such realistic colors as
to be a delight. He honored the Varl-
Gus nationalities-the Irish, the Ger
man and others-for their bravery In
modern times, as well as the heroism
of the boys in gray. The Anglo-SaXon
race was declared to have produced
the bravest soldiers, and the indica-
tions are that its career has only be-
gun.
The doctor was listened to with rap
attention and he was heartily APP
plauded at many points in his loquen'
discourse. He will go to Butte his
morning to meet a committee on churcl

1t Is said that Lybrandt Is the CASH

offense involves a deal in cotton. The

Is said, however. that someone raised
the figure ''2' to 200 in a certain ship

The little difficulty in this instance is
that the Suns central fact is CEN
trail nonsense, altogether out Of har-
mony with the conditions that are ac-
cepted at Washington. 1t may be that
the administration people were at first
in doubt as TO the extent of territory
included within the Spanish capitula-
ton: in any event. however, no officer
of the government at any time gave
out any announcements that back up
the Suns boastful lingo. Now. how
ever, the doubts have been cleared
away. The accepted view, as given
out by the administration, is that the
surrender includes precisely VIA 1t

the city Of Manila and its suburbs.
Whether. therefore, SPANS sover-
eighty over the islands will continue or
end. is a question which is now un-
settled and with which the peace com
mission will deal. And the Suns as
sertion that there is no longer a Philip
pine question doesn't change N of
the facts. General Merritt and Admiral
Dewey were accorded large liberty of
