is eternal watchfulness
of the food we eat.

Baking powders made from burnt alum are
very prevalent in the market Sometimes they
are sold as phosphate, sometimes as cream of
tartar powders, but never under their true char
acter. They are generally offered upon the
ground that they are low priced In appear
ance they resemble pure powder, and there
is no way except by analysis to detect them
until their continued use has impaired the d.
gestion and injured the health.

A DIsoUsTED CROOK.
He Picked Up a Man About Town Fs
 . "Rube."

He Picked Up . Man About Town Fer
 "Rube."
 Chicago possesses a man about town who is constantly mistaken for what is known as the ''rube" by crooks and sharps. Any one who knows him would wonder how such an error could hap pen, yet 1t does. This rounder is a good natured man and hence the fel- lows who essay to play upon him rare ly get Into trouble. He Is really keen hand, although loose and Ill fitting clothing lend an air of rusticity to his appearance. This Is accentuated by habitual manner indicating innocence and introspection.
 He was walking along one of the busy streets when he was approached by a shrewd looking individual who desired to engage him in conversation. He coyly admitted that he was broke at the time, when the man said "sh"- and drew him to one side. Then the pavement merchant displayed to the wondering gaze of the rounder certain stones called diamonds and besought him to buy. He Despake him thus:
 Say, I'm thief, see, and pinched these sparks. I want to sell 'em and they go mighty cheap. This one is worth a century and you git 1t for half. l like your looks and guess we can fix up a trade"
 ''Will they fade in the washT asked the man about town. If they won't I might invest, but the Inst ones I got from one of you blokes faded badly. Now if these will stand soap and wa ter, why I might put up quarter for that one"
 The self confessed thief backed away" with scared look on his face. He glared at his man intently, all the time edging away to create more dis tance between them. And I took him for a rube," he muttered, as he slid around an adjacent corner.-Chicago Chronicle

these processions anu the nasn uI tuat sword and the huZZa of that greeting and the roar of those guns and the H. lumination of those nights will be seen and heard as long as a page of Ameri- can history remains inviolate.
 Especially let the country boys of America join in these greetings to the returned heroes of Manila. It Is their work. The chief character in all the scene Is the once country lad, George Dewey. Let the Vermonters come down and find him older, but the same modest. unassuming, almost bashful person that they went to school with and with whom they sported on the playground. The honors of all the world cannot spoil him. A few weeks ago at banquet in England some of the titled noblemen were affronted be- cause our American minister plenipo- tentiary associated the name of Dewey with that of Lord Nelson. As well might we be alrronted because the name of Nelson IA associated with that of our most renowned admiral. The one name in all che coming ages will stand as high as the other. So this day. sympathizlng with all the fes- tivities and celebrations of the past week and with all the festivities and celebrations to come this week, let us anew thank God and those heroes of the American navy who have done such great things for our beloved land. Come aboard the old ship Zion, ye sail ors and soldiers, whether still In the active service or honorably discharged and at home having resumed citizen ship. And ye men of the past, your last battle on the seas fought, take from me In Gods name salutation and good cheer. For the few remaining fights with sin and death and hell make ready. Strip your vessel for the fray. Hang the sheet chains over the side. Send down the topgallant masts. Bar ricade the wheel Rig In the flying jib boom. Steer straight for the shin- Ing shore and hear the shout of the great Commander of earth and heaven as he cries from the shrouds, "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life which Is In the midst of the paradise of God" Hosannal Ho- sanna!

LAST EFFORT FOR PEACE.
Hofmeyr, Afrieander Leader, Goes to
 Pretoria.

Hofmeyr, Afrieander Leader, Goes to
 Pretoria.
 London, Oct. 4.-The Cape Town cor respondent of The Daily Mail telegraphs that Mir. Hofmeyr, the Africander leader, will proceed to Pretoria tonight to make a last effort for the maintenance of peace.
 A telegram from Ladysmith, Natal, says that the Orange Free State troops have occupied and closed Botha's pass. on the Free State border, and that Com mandant Allriche, chief of the Free State artillery, is proceeding in the direc- tion of Kimberley with considerable force of artillery. Another force of ar tillery, under Commandant Boning, has gone to Harrismith, while Commandant Shit commands force of artillery en route for Kroonstadt.
 Advices from Newcastle, Natal, report that telegraphic communication is inter rupted beyond Charlestown, where the stores have been footed by the natives since the departure of the whites. The latest news received from Johannesburg, filed there yesterday, indicates that the last rush of Europeans to leave the town has occurred. They crowded the trains like sardines, occupying every possible inch on the trucks. There is considerable anxiety with regard to the few who re- main behind, as communication seems to be cut off.
 Progress made by the military authori- ties seems to be very slow, and it must still be weeks before Great Britain will be in a position to strike, although it is believed that the British troops now at the front or near it are sufficient to pro- tect British territory. A..
 The war office, it is reported, has re- ceived an offer from 2,000 officers and men of the Cuban army for service in the Transvaal.
 One result of the war scare IS an ad- vance of from a shilling to IS pence in the price asked for the wheat offered in the Lynn market.

GOLD TEETH NOT ALL GOLD.
Often Are Removable Shells, Worn
 to Make a Show.


 to Make a Show. "Id hate to pay that woman's dentist bills," said a business man to a friend on a South Side l. train the other day. Across the aisle from the men was a woman who showed enough gold every time she opened her mouth to make a man want to leave home and try his fortunes in the Klondike. Two of her upper teeth had been replaced by pieces of furnished metal, and one of her lower teeth also had 2 carat sheen about 1t. Her companion had only one gold tooth, but she kept 1t doing the work of three by a constant smile.
 That's another case of the old adage, All that glitters Is not gold,'" said the business mans friend. "One of the dental novelties makes gold teeth pos sible to arg one at a small cost and without even sacrificing a healthy in- cisor to make room for the metal. For quarter you can get shell that can be stuck over any front tooth, and with an excuse to smile you can present a regular gold mine to the astonished public.
 Actresses first affected the gold tooth, and then the Yankee man got an idea. In a short time there was an epidemic of gold teeth. The novelty man came out with his plated shells and sold them like hot cakes. No one but the dentist has any kick against the imitation gold tooth, and as a dag xIa f% t, ho- al t< hof or,ss teeth may be the real stuff, but I be- lieve she can slip them off when she wants to and get them plated when they get tarnished."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Victory For nUIan q

Paris, Oct. 4.-The Venezuelan award unanimously gives Venezuela the mouth of the Orinoco. The courts decision fixes the Venezuelan boundary line as a straight line from Point Playa to the river Barimas at its junction with the river Mururuma and thence along mid stream to the junction of the rivers Howa and Amakuru. The decision dis. places Great Britain ten miles back from the mouth of the Orinoco, and thus gives the victory to Venezuela on her chief point of contention. The territory ac- corded to Venezuela aggregates 30,000 square miles. Great Britain is accorded equality in navigating the rivers and is given some other advantages as partial compensation. Sir Richard Webster, chief counsel for Great Britain, said he was satisfied with the courts award. Ex-President Harrison was naturally much pleased over his victory.

Colonel Bells Joke.

Colonel Bell, the United States con. sul at Sydney, recently appeared as a witness in the divorce court in that city on the point whether certain certif- cate would be accepted in the Ameri- can courts as formal proof of marriage.
 "You are 3 lawyer. ahink, Colonel Bell, 1" remarked the judge.
 "Well. no, sir, 7" replied the colonel, with Mark Twainlike drawl. "I was once, but have reformed"
 When the laughter had subsided, the bench settled the matter with the dic- tum, "Once lawyer, always a law yer"
 The colonel then pronounced the eer- tificate valid from the legal American standpoint.
