There was boxing and wrestling by

into a hard-hitting match, and after some
good red blood had been spilled in the
mimic warfare, the bout was stopped.

important national and State legislation
in the interest of the mining industry.
Shortly after the last annual convention
of the State association, at which E. H.
Benjamin was elected secretary, Mr.. Ben

membership by organizing mining coun-
ties that were not among the fourteen

among them was o. Breese. one of the
editors of the Mining and Metallurgical
Journal of Los Angeles.

President Mckinley Receives Commu
 nication from Unofficial Persons.

Washington, September 19.-President Mckinley recently received a protest against the alleged dissertation of Catholic church property in the Philippines, sub mttted by an organization called the Metro politan Truth society,"
 In considering the matter, the govern ment officials understood that this protest had some authoritative status, but it ap- pears on inquiry that 1t does not come through the responsible official channels of the church apostolic delegation or the hierarchy of archbishops, and is therefore the individual representation of private persons. The church authorities have talk en no action relative to the cases, as this has never been submitted to their jursdc- tion Moreover, they have observed with satisfaction that the Archbishop of Manila, who continues to exercise authority in the Philippines, has co-operated with the mili- tary administration, one of the latest evil deEces of this cooperation being the issu- ance of a decree including the Catholic church holidays among those to be ob- served in the public schools.
 Under such circumstances there has been no disposition to make an issue with the military authorities, and the reported des- ecrations have been treated as the work of lawless individuals

INCOME OF s1O.e8 A MINUTE
While Vanderbilt Slept at Night He Got
 About S4,474 Richer
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 New York, September 15-Great interest continues to be taken here in the distribu- tion which the will of Cornelius Wander bilt, when probated, will be found to make of his great fortune, estimated al $l50,000,- O00
 Young Cornelius, eldest son of the dead millionaire, is believed by Wall street men to have the best prospects of getting the largest share of this immense sum. It is pointed out that in the last few years he has shown steadiness and business capac- ity, which might overbalance his father s strenuous but ineffective objections to his marriage with Miss Grace Wilson.
 The income which the elder Cornelius en- joyed during his life was one of the largest in The country. Of his estimated wealth of $150,0O0,0 ,00O it was said in Wall street that about $10.000,0O0 was in unproductive as- sets. It was also said that the average in- come on the remainder was between and per cent.
 Calculating an income of per cent. on $l4OOO0, GOO, it would amount to $5,60O,OO0 a year, or $15,34247 a day. Perhaps a man having this income would be willing to drop the 47 cents. Dividing the even sum
  a day, gives an income of about $1O.65 a minute. This would amount to a little less than IS cents a second. Thousands of per- sons are glad to work an hour for IS cents
 Now, suppose that MT Vanderbilt slept seven hours night-that was said to have been about his average. While he was thus in bed in dreaming unconsciousness, his income would have amounted to A,44.75. Not every man can go to bed and wake in the morning A,474.75 richer.
 The only member of the Vanderbilt fam fly not in New York now is Alfred, son of the dead finance king, who was located yes terday in the interior of Japan. He has been travelling Word of his fathers death was sent to him on Tuesday, and yesterday afternoon at o'clock a cable message was received from him saying that he would start for America at once The finding of young Vanderbilt was a task that engaged the attention of many men in Japan and China. Hundreds of dollars were spent in cabling instructions. Mercantile agents and consuls were asked to find him, and from a dozen places mes sengers were sent into the interior of Ja- pan.
 In forwarding the messages to him and in hurrying his reply. the cable companies informed the family that the messages would be pushed through ahead of all eX cept government business, and that where consent could be obtained the messages would take precedence even over those of the government. It was said that it was less than one hour and thirty minutes from the time the message was filed in Japan to +he time the family In New York received 1t. The message came by way of Hong Kong, Singapore, Bombay. Alden, Suez, Malta, Gibraltar, Lisbon and London.

 In addition to these, many grocers sell what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the grocer, and his name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders. The manufacturers. 1t 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 ab- normal profit upon 1t. Many grocers, doubtless, do not know that the powders they are thus pushing are alum powders the sale of which would be misdemeanor under the law referred to.
 It is quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders. They are constantly appearing in all sorts of dis guises. under different names and at all kinds of prices even as low as five and ten cents a pound. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are lia- ble to contain alum, pure cream of tartar powders cannot be produced at any, thing like this price.
