Death of Mrs. Salisbury.

Mrs. Martha Salisbury, widow of the
late Ezekiel Salisbury, died at her
home, sos west Oliver street, Wednes-
day morning at eleven O'clock.
Mrs. Salisbury had been in feeble
health for the last few years but the
severe illness which caused her death
was of but two weeks duration, the end
being fastened by the general breaking
down down of health which at the ad-
vanced age of eighty. four years did not
leave her sufficient strength to with
stand severe illness, and her death
had been expected daily for about q
week.
Mrs. Salisbury was born in Vermont
where her childhood and youth were
spent and where she was married.
About sixty years ago with her husband
she came to Michigan and later settled
on farm south of this city several
miles. Later they moved to this city.
She is survived by three of the eight
children born to her, ID. r, Salisbury
and Mrs. Burns Brewer. of this city,
and John Salisbury, of Corunna.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at the house, Rev. G. IL. Hanks
officiating.

"Chaplain White" to Supply the Baptist
Church,

Rev. E. w. White, of jackson, or
chaplain White" as he is known
throughout the state from his record as
chaplain of the 3lst Michigan Volun-
teers, during the Spanish-American
war, occupied the Baptist pulpit Sun.
day and preached two excellent SER
mons, full of life and enthusiasm. He
has also been secured to supply the
pulpit during the absence of the pastor,
Rev. G. V. Northrop, who is taking
treatment of Kansas City specialist
and visiting at the home of his brother.
The church, and pastor as well, are to
be congratulated on securing such an
efficient supply. Mr.. White is one of
the most prominent Baptist pastors in
this part of the country, having been
for years at jackson, but being at the
outbreak of the war pastor of the larg-
est church in Milwaukee. Aside from
his abilities as pastor, however, The
TIMES feels in an especial degree privi-
legged to speak of Chaplain White as a
man among men since it was the for
tune of one of its employees to serve
for few months in the regiment in
which Chaplain White served. In this
connection it is but necessary to state
that Chaplain White had not only the
respect and esteem of the entire regi.
ment but there was not man on whom
his manly bearing did not have some
influence and who did not secretly ad-
mire him. The character of man in
his position who could so impress his
personality on some thirteen hundred
men with whom he was daily thrown
in contact must be apparent to all. 1t
is quite probable that as soon as pro-
visions are made for sending chaplains
to the new volunteer regiments in the
Philippines, Chaplain White will be ap-
pointed, and quite likely assigned to the
30th U. 3. ", commanded by Col.
Gardener, who commanded the 81st
Mich. Volunteers, which has also many
OF the enlisted men of the old 31st in
its ranks.

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum In
All Articles of Diet.

The law enacted by the Missouri legis-
lature, copy of which was recently pub
lished in our columns, and which prohib-
its the manufacture or sale of any article
intended for food or to be used in the
preparation of food, which contains alum,
arsenic, ammonia, ETC., places that state
in the lead in the matter of sanitary leg
islation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years. In
this country, in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and several
other states, direct legislation in reference
to the sale of alum baking powders has
also been effected. In several of these
states their sale is prohibited unless they
are branded to show that they contain
alum, and in the District of Columbia,
under the laws of congress, the sale OF
bread containing alum has been made IL
legal.
Following are the names of some OF the
brands of baking powder sold in this vi.
cinity which are shown by recent analy-
sis to contain alum. Housekeepers and
grocers should cut the list out and keep
it for reference:

The housekeeper should bear in mind
that alum makes cheap baking powder.
1t costs but two cents pound while

of the powder therefore is usually indi-
Gated by the price.

A Perfect Performance.

At variety entertainment given in
aid OF q popular institution one Of the
"turns" was ventriloquist. AS this
gentleman was recognized as one of the
oleverest members of his profession, his
appearance was looked forward to with
much interest. At last it came. The
stage attendants carried on to the stage
three dressed figures, seated in chairs. as
usual. The professor followed and then
went through an astonishing perform
ance. No one could detect q muscle of
his face move during the laughable dia-
logues, and the changes of voice seemed
marvellous.
On retiring the applause was deafen-
ing, and the ventriloquist had to return
again and again to thank the audience
for their appreciation. A couple of min
utes or SO after, when the audience were
talking among themselves as to how it
was done. they were thunderstruck to
see the three figures get up from the
chairs and walk off the stage also, but
on realizing how completely they had
been "sold" the laughter was uproari.
GUS The professor had got three Of his
friends to take the place Of his usual

Hard Heads.

A duel among native Australians
affords a droll study Of physical endur.
ance and natural courtesy. The affaire
dhonneur is conducted on orthodox
lines. Seconds are chosen and the
place OF meeting arranged, each party
assuring the other that the remem.
brance Of the insult or the casus bellf
can only be removed with a waddv
stick, casually mentioning at the same
time the design and weight Of his own
weapon.
The duel then proceeds somewhat
on these lines: The aggrieved one
bends forward, hands on knees. and
invites his opponent to test the sound
ness OF his club on his (the challenger's)
head. Politeness does not demand that
the vigor Of the blow be modified nv
regrets or remorse, much less such a
reply as, Not at all, sir; after YOU"
