Baseball.

Sunday afternoon the baseball
cranks enjoyed a game cas- was a
game. The score was only to 1
and the victims were the Fond du
Lacs. Haney, of Madison, pitched
for the LATTER and his delivery proved
rather pulling to the heavy bitters
of the home team. Joss was in his
customary. good form and at critical
stages proved himself heady and
speedy twirler, with perfect control of
the ball. A continuance Of such ex-
hibitions as this one ought to insure
a good patronage for the season.
The spectators felt that they we're
well repaid for their attendance.
The baseball spirit is evidently wax
ing warm SO much the better, it
would seem, for the financial success
Of the local venture. The Daily Times
thinks we were unfair in our criticism
Of the management for securing weak
aggregations to do battle with our
strong team, Of which our people in
general are justly proud. We are in
deed sorry that our advice was taken
In the wrong way. We were candid
enough to express publicly a feeling
that we had seen manifested by more
than one good patron of the game,
and certainly offered our opinion with
the best CT intentions and with the
hope that the management might pro-
fit thereby. We doubt not that the
three gentlemen who have assumed
the responsibility of retaining the
team for the season will do their ut
most hereafter to secure only good at
fractions. They were perhaps i'm
posed upon in the beginning and have
learned by experience thus early.
The Jefferson Banner IS awfully Of
Tended over the insinuation that has
gone forth to the effect that the Chi
cagO Unions were 'induced'' to lose
the game at Jefferson, and in a cir
cumvential way attempts denial that
by no means denies. The Unions de-
feated Watertown, and in turn were
defeated by Jefferson, the inference
to Jeffersonians being that their team
is superior to Watertown's. Well,
neighbors, there is all the money up
here which you will care to cover on
asquare contest between our represen-
tative teams. Let's have one of the
good games as of old on neutral
grounds

ties at the engine house while Neitzel
is on duty running the steam road
roller during the season. On motion
the mayor was instructed to comply
with the request.
A resolution was introduced by AL
derman krueger to appropriate 500
from the city general fund to the
Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards,
for the streets. But this was ruled
out by the mayor on account of it's
conflicting with the charter and Mr..
Kruger withdrew the resolution.
A motion was made by Alderman
Burke to move the arc light at the
intersection Of Lafayette and Warren
streets nearer the Chicago & North
western railroad tracks. The matter
was referred to the street lighting
committee.
Alderman Krueger introduced re-
solution to place fountains and water
ing places at the dead ends of the
WaterWOrks system on North Church.
North Fourth and River streets so as
to keep water pure; that the water
works committee be given the right
to purchase fountains, and have them
put in by the waterworks commission
ers. This was referred to the water
works commissioners.
Bids for hauling the hook and lad
der truck for the coming year were
then opened by the clerk. There
were two in number, one from George
w. Evans for $500 and the other from
Emil Behl for $170. The latter got
the job.
After the report from the treasurer,
which showed balance in cash. with
all funds included, of $29, 9,6G9. .4g. was
read, the meeting adjourned.

THE ALUn BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in this Vicinity

SOltt III IiiiS
The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
from food made with alum baking
powders and the opinions that have
been published from noted scientists
to the effect that such powders render
the food unwhOlesome, leadi to
grave disorders of the stomach, liver
and heart, have caused numerous in
quiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
The sale of an alum baking powder
in this state is illegal unless the label
upon the can has printed upon it the
statement that such powder contains
alum. An examination Of many cans
of alum baking powders found in the
stores shows, however. that the warn
ing words are SO printed as to be al
most unnoticable. The following list
contains the names of the alum bak-
ing powders of general sale in Wis
cOnsin. as shown by the chemical an
alyses:

In addition to these, many grOcers
are selling what they call their own
private or special brands. These pow
ders are put up for the grocer, and his
name put upon the labels by manu-
facturers Of alum powders in Chicago
Cincinnati, ST. Louis and elsewhere
The manufacturers, it is said, find their
efforts to market their goods in this
way greatly aided by the ambition of
the grocer to sell a powder with his
own name upon the label, especially
as he can make an abnormal profit
upon it. Many of these are not labeled
as the law requires and are sold as
cream Of tartar powders.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names Of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing under all kinds of cogno-
mems, and are sold at all kinds OF
! prices, many as low as five and ter
cents a pound. They can be avoided
however, by the housekeeper who viii
bear in mind that all baking powders
sold at twenty-five cents OR less pei
| pound, whether marked as alum pow
ders or not, are liable to contain alum
as pure cream Of tartar powders can
not tie produced at anything like thi
| price

CLIMATE IN PHILIPPINES
CONSUL WILLIAMS REFUTES
STATEMENTS.
Situation of Manila is Healthy-Sew-
ers are Good-Water Supply Abund-
ant-Death Rate is small.

Consul Williams, of Manila. writes
to the United States Government upon
the climate. His letter reached Wash
ington, April II, and is but just pub
lished. The Consul says:
~ wish to refute the statements
generally circulated in regard to the
health and climate of the Philippine
Islands. Being within the tropics,
they of course lack the invigorating
effects of frost, and the temperature
averages high-at Manila, about 7s.3
deg. F.; but extremes are not wide
apart, and during the last year, |
heard of no temperature below 81 deg.
f. i'm the islands, and none below the
sixties in Manila. Mercury in the
shade rarely rises above IS deg, nor
above 95 deg. in the sun.
Being on the coast of a bay so large
as to be almost an inland sea. and
having miles to the east a lake with
100 miles of shore. whose waters seek
the bay through the large and rapid
Pasig, the city of Manila has fresh air
constantly, as well as sea breezes.
THE sewers of Manila are not good
and can never be first class, because of
it's low level: but the rainfall here is
evenly distributed, so that the streets
are rain swept and the sewers well
flushed almost every day. There is
also an advantage i'm hot, wet weather
which hastens the decay of vegetable
or animal matter. this soon rotting
and being washed away.
"The city water supply is abundant
The water is carried in large iron
pipes about miles from springs, and
is exceptionally pure and agreeable tc

sin filthy quarters, smallpox may
be found almost any day: but few

ures of the present government have
been of benefit. The death rate is
small. and it is only necessary to live
properly to be entirely healthy"
