glorieS of the war. In the front part
of the first volume he has arranged the
pictures of the leading figures on the
stage at that time-the members of
the different diplomatic corps of all
the nations at Washington, their wives
and daughters. and all the gossip con-
corning their doings at the national
capital. And the thoroughness with
which Mr.. Murch has studied the de-
tails OF the scrapbook appeared when,
as he slowly turned the leaves. he gave
the histories of the persons whose pic
lures adorned the pages.
Have you read all that is in these
books?"
Nearly every bit of it. Can you i'm
agine a better way to spend ones
timer was his quick reply.
In view of the fact that Monday is
Dewey day, Mr. Murch called attention
to a single-column picture of Admiral
Dewey, which appeared along with
some other Sunday matter relating to
the navies. See. here is the first time
that Dewey's picture appeared in the
papers. Date. Dec. 81. 1897. They did
not suspect then that he would take
up whole page not many months
later" And then, as he carefully
turned the pages of the scrapbook. he
stopped suddenly in his running COM
ment on the events as they transpired,
and scornfully said. pointing to
headline on one of the papers: Here
is De Lome-the rascal, De LONE,
laughing at the way he duped the
state department. Laughing, mark
you, even then-Feb. 9. He knew the
Maine would be blown up in the next
week." And as he turned over page
after page of interesting matter relat-
ing to the De LONE farewell from I'm
Gle Sam. the type in the clippings
which he had saved began to grow
larger, until. on Feb. 16, appeared the
fiaring black type which announced the
blowing up of the Maine in Havana

ed in black At first, while he talked
he smoked his pipe vigorously. Then
he grew so interested in showing his
scrapbooks that he let the pipe go out
and laid ii on the old-fashioned bureau
where his tobacco box lay.
In one corner of the room was a pile
of mysterious pastboard boxes
every one of them trimming over with
matter about the war" said the host
He pointed to a leather trunk beside the
head of the bed--Chock-full of maya
zines and the best pictures in the world
about Spain and the United States. OH
but they are beauties" he exclaimed.
And then he got down on his knees.
and pointing under the bed enumerated
the various boxes filed with news
papers and magazines. 'all about the
fight" But more striking than all
these was a table near the door, on
which were piled tier after tier of
pasteboard boxes. He began taking
them down one by one, as carefully as
a mother would handle her first babe
There must have been dozen of them,
of big boxes and apparently heavy.
Then, after he had taken these boxes
off the table, there yet remained about
ten inches of thickness which appeared
mysterious, until he exclaimed, 'Ah,
there are the biggest scrapbooks in the
world; that is, l mean the starter for
them
He lifted them off the table to the bed
and carefully unwrapped from them the
coverings, made of dark calico to keep
the books from soiling. When he had
carefully removed this covering, he
pointed to the big white canvas board
like affair, and said: There, did you
ever see such a scrapbood as that?
had them made to order, and there are
no better ones in the world for the pur-
pose. Measure for yourself-one yard
long and wide proprotionately. 1 will
have five volumes when the set is COM
pleted, and when this is done, which
will probably be about two years from

now, 1 will have the best scrapbook
,, of the war in the country. I know of
only one other person who can APP
proach it, and that is one who has not
as much material to work on as l have.
That is, judging from the description
which i have read of ..is- That other
man is Mr.. Russell Sage, of New York. y
Mr.. Murch placed the first volume on
the table. which he had moved under
the gasiight, and he began telling of
the beauties and joys of his book. And
no wonder, On the first page was a
picture of Old Glory, and following was
good map of the world. You see
have everything in the whole category
of the war. l started to build my scrap
book Oct. 10, 1897, and thought at that
time that l would only include from
that time on in my scrapbook But
after a few days l saw that the only
logical place to begin was the in
auguration of President Mckinley So
1 went down to the Globe Democrat
office and bought every one of the back
papers from the time of his taking the
chair up to that time. l had a great
number of magazines and other papers,
which were full of material, as you
can see, and / bought a great many
more. / had no other thought in my
mind than to have something to help
pass away the time when l began. and
now I can hardly tear myself away in
order to work. l have spent hour after
hour on it, until l had to quit working
during the evenings because of my
eyes. 1 never leave my room on Sun
days, but stay here with my papers,
and paste and keep preparing my book.
1 have arranged everything in order,
and, of course, it takes a great deal
of reading to see that nothing is left
out from the right place in the book"
The plan of the book is excellent.
Nothing is put in carelessly or in
haste, and the devotion of the collector
could plainly be seen as he told of the

DATA OF THE LATE WAR
ST. LOUIS MAN HAS A UNIQUE
COLLECTION OF SCRAPBooKS.
Huge Volumes In Which Printed
Matter of All Sorts, Including
Pictures, Is Filed Away.
(st. Louis Globe-Democrat)

The late war with Spain produced
many fads among the younger people
III the United States, including the
craze for buttons, pictures of military
heroes, natty uniforms, and all that is
supposed to go with the march of Uncle
Sam in his seven leagued boots across
the oceans. but it has remained for
MIR. J. w. Murch, of st. Louis, TO take
unto himself hobby. which has the
elements of lasting value in it. He has
prepared what, according TO his state
ment, is the beginning of the largest
scrap book in the world, bearing on
one historical phase of the United
States progress-the Spanish-Ameri-
can war OF 1888.
Mr.. Murch lives at 1918 Washington
avenue, and, as he conducted visitor
to his room on the second floor, he be-
gan to expatiate on the beauties of his
scrapbook. The hall was dark, and,
as he showed the visitor into the light
ed room where his pet, or pets, were,
the strong glare from the gas showed
a man about fifty years old. wearing
full beard, cut rather short, and dark
brown in color. On his head was
typical bachelors cap of purple, braid
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-14

harbor, and war talk filled the edi-
torial columns. for Mr.. Murch had
saved all the editorials, as we'll as the
dispatches, which told of the events in
Cuba and Washington.
And as the papers grew blacker in
their headlines, as he turned the. pages,
Mr.. Murch exclaimed: -Oh, now you
best pictures in the world, bless the
Lord and as he smoothed out a
crease in one of the half-tones, which
he had inserted in the leaves. he grew
even more enthusiastic. Il think that
l have everything on earth right here
in this book-right on seriatim-noth-
ing in the wrong place. There is more
pleasure in having this than in having
a wife. Don't you think SOP" And his
enthusiasm was so infectious that one
could not help but agree with him.
AS far as Mr.. Murch has prepared
his scrapbook, or books, he has nearly
everything bearing on the war Be
tween the solid pages of printed clip
pings from all the local papers he has
left places for numerous inserts, where
on he is pasting the pictures of the
scenes at different places and of the
notable persons who took any part iT
the war. This happy arrangement f
the pictorial feature of the book comes
in happily, as the kilograms and other
matter lies on opposite pages. No ad-
vertisements appear at any place in
the book, as he has taken the small
est editorials from the Globe-Demo-
crat and filed up any interstices which
might mar the appearance of the
pages. "Oh, it is a long job. but a
labor of love, if there ever was one, :"
he remarked, as he finished looking
after the first volume, which runs from
March 4, 1897, to April {, 1897. Now,
you see, the second volume. which I
have not quite finished. will contain
only the events which transpired be-
tween April Z, 1898, and May 4, 1898,

Protect Our Food.

The doctors inform us that alum is u
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent hy-
CHEMISTS. who have given the matter
most study, regard these powders as an
evil that should be suppressed by state
action. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum powders are not permitted to be
sold unless they are branded to warn
consumers of their true character, while
in the District of Columbia the author
tiles have, under the direction of con-
gress, adopted regulations to prohibit
the use of alum in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, entitled to warning of "a danger
which is apparently %menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District of Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is entire
ly prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of q statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public than
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names of the baking
powders which they find to be made
from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife in
designating the alum powders to remem-
Der that all powders sold at 25 cents or
less per pound are of this dangerous
class. Pure cream of tartar powders
are usually sold at from As to SO cents a
| pound.

MUST GIVE BOND.
Solicitor General Bartlett Gives an Opinion
Regarding District Attorneys.

ALL
Solicitor General Edward L. Bartlett
has written to Territorial Auditor Louis
M. Ortiz as follows:
Your favor Of this date with regard
to district attorneys, with accompany
ing papers, is received, in which you
ask my opinion as to your payment of
those officers without complying with
sections 1884 and 1886, Compiled Laws
of New Mexico, and in reply would say
that those sections make 1t the duty of
the district attorneys to furnish you
with a certificate, setting forth the date
upon which they entered upon the
discharge of their duties The certifi-
cate which you nave from the secretary
of the territory is simply that they were
nominated and appointed. Before they
could enter Upon the discharge of their
duties, it was necessary to execute and
file a bond in the office of the district
clerk of the district in the sum of $4,000;
also, to take and file with the secre-
tary of the territory the oath OF office.
In addition, section 21SS requires the
bonds of district officers to be recorded
with the secretary. This bond is to be
recorded in the office of the secretary
and then filed with the clerk Of the
district court. These are plain, manda-
tory provisions of the law which must
be complied with before you are author
lied to draw a warrant, and whether
they have not been complied with
through neglect or ignorance does not
change your duty, and you can not
draw any warrants legally and with
safety to yourself until these require
ments have been met by the gentlemen
