Amateur illustrators.

A very pleasant and unique social
 party was given on Saturday evening
 at the residence of Mrs. J. l.. Fisher
 The invitations announced the ob- ject of the gathering to be ito meet amateur illustrators" After the guests had assembled each one was given an envelope in which were two cards, one large and one small. On the name of the small one was the name of some book, and the re- clpient was required to make a drawing on the large card, giving an illustration of the title. The anna teur illustrators were seated four at each table and no one was allowed 10 let any one else know the subject of their illustration. After the drawings had all been completed the game was to guess the titles rspre- sented by the drawings and the sue cessful ones at each table progressed to the next table. Pnzes were awarded to the one correctly guess ing the greatest number of illustra- tions, and to the best illustrator. The former was won by Miss Clara Criley and the latter by John Will son, while booby pnze for the one exhibiting the least amount of skill in his subject was awarded to Dr. Gonzales. The title of the book given to him was Uncle Toms Cabin" and when he had gotten through with bis card A contained Q picture Of an elegant modern resi- dence with bay windows, and by peculiar perspective both ends of the house were exposed tU plain vIew at the same time and from single standpoint. or course this is simply advanced illustration and the amateurs would not recognize 1t in their class. The illustrating as we'll as the illustrations furnished a rich fund of amusement for the evening, and little before midnight a fitting finale to the evenings pleasure was furnished in the shape of palatable

rHE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Pnneipal
 Brands Sold in this Vicinity.

Brands Sold in this Vicinity. The recent discussion in the pa pers of the elect upon tAe humau system of food made with alum bsk ing powders snd the opinions that have been published from noted scientists tO the effect that such powders render the food uuwhols- some, haze caused numerous inquir- les for the names of the various aiuci powders.
 Tbe following list of baking powders containing alum is made up from the reports of State Chem ist Nicholson, of Nebraska, the city chemist of St. Louis, the food com mission of AiRnss sa, or other re- liable authority:
 BAKING P0wDEEs CONTAINING ALUA. K c. C...--........... Contains Alum
 JAaass Mfs. c., ChieAso.

 I4ci6e Mfg. Co. I-os AAselsa. Calumet..,..... Contains Alum
 Calumet Bsking r0~der Co-. Chicago
 In addition 10 these it is learned that many groeers are selling 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 m St. Louis, Kansas City, Salt Lake, San Francisco, and elsewhere. The manufacturers, it is sad, 6nd their efforts to market their goods .n this way greatly aided by the ambition of tbe grocer to sell a powder with his oWn name upon the label, especially when the grocer csn make an abnormal profit upon lt. Many grocer, doubtless. do not know that the powders they are tEus pushing are alum powders which would be actually contra banded in many sections if sold without disguisa ItiS quite impossible to give the nssslks oi all the alum baking powd .Ez in the market. They are cor stantly appsAsiag 10 all sorts of dis. g@s<s. under all kinds of eogno. nAos and at all kinds of prices. ! even as low as Eve and ten cents A pound. They can ke avoided, how .VeT. by the housekeeper who will 1 pear in mind that ala baking powders l old st twenty-five cents or less per 1 pound are liable to contain alum, Is pure cream of tartar baking powders cannot be produced at any I hing like this price.

ou.ky Brides for U. s. Soldiers

IT the last reports are true there will be not few dusky daughters in-law to enter the circles that gave up their boys for the Cuban war fare. While the boys were becom- ing acclimated they were also be coming especially interested in the daughters of a people described as "treacherous lot of cut-thruats,n g more bloodthirsty and cruel than the Spaniards, and lazy, incessant smokers. The women smoke a strong Manila cigar, and chew betel nuts. This habit is as filthy as the snuff-rubbing custom of earlier gen erations in our own locality. but now left for the poor ignorant mountain whites and their kind. WkatShouFd induce our soldier boys to entaugle themselves with such bonds is be- yOnd solution. There will be dis appointed mothers and daughters, if not sweetLearts, when the toys come home.-Ex.

OHIO RIVER BLOCKADE.
Eight Million Bushels of Coal Frozen
Up-Floods Feared.

Pittsburg Feb. 11.-Never in the his
tory of the navigation has the situa-
ton in Pittsburg river. been so critical
as now. After three days of the cold
est weather ever known in this section
of the country. the rivers are frozen as
tight as mill race. Many tows are
stranded helplessly at dangerous points
along the Ohio. Several tugs have lost
parts of their tows and are aground,
while one. the Fred Wilson, is lying in
eight feet of water. Altogether there
are about 100000 bushels of coal af1oat
between Pittsburg and Louisville.
To these conditions, and the fact of
almost an unprecedented accumulation
of snow in the watersheds of the Mo-
nongahela and Allegheny, it becomes
apparent that the inevitable breakup
in the river is to be feared.
River men are fearful of a flood that
will do great damage along the river
Twenty years ago a similar state of af-
fairs resulted disastrously. At that
time a record for low temperature az
degrees) was established, but that rec
ord has been smashed. Both rivers are
frozen over from Pittsburg to the head
waters, notwithstanding the efforts of
pool boats to keep an open channel
1t is hardly possible that the snow
and ice will be able TO pass off without
extraordinary results. Ten degrees be-
low zero was weather bureau record
this morning. An almost impenetrable
fog hangs over the city, and many ac-
cidentS by collisions have occurred.

WEATHER BUREAU REPORT.
Another Cold Wave Sweeps Over the
Western States.


Washington, Feb. 11.-Weather bu-
reau special bulletin: The weather has
moderated generally east of the Mis-
sissippi, except in New York, New Eng
land, eastern Virginia, southern Mary
land and the District of Columbia a
notable feature of the Atlantic coast
temperature of the last three days has
been the remarkably low reading at
Washington. where the minimum has
been degrees below, s degrees below
and 10 degrees below zero, the last
reading being the lowest ever recorded
by the Washington weather bureau Of
flee. Equally noteworthy was the low
temperature which continued during
the 10th, when the maximum was but
4 degrees above zero, giving the lowest
daily mean temperature, degrees be-
low zero, on record for Washington.
A second cold wave, with a remark
ably high barometeric pressure over
spread the already extremely cold west
and northwest states Friday night,
carrying the temperature to 40 degrees
below zero at Williston, n. D.. to 16
degrees below at Denver, 26 below at
Omaha and 16 to % below in Kansas.
During the night and Sunday a rise
will occur in the middle Atlantic and
New England districts, attended by in
creasing cloudiness and probably snow.
The western cold wave will extend
over the Mississippi valley and the
west gulf states, carrying the line of
zero temperature into Texas, Arkansas
and western Tennessee. and giving
freezing temperature to the immediate
wst gulf coast.
Following the temporary rise in
temperature which will occur over the
Atlantic coast districts during the
next thirty-six hours, period of cold
er weather may be expected, which will
continue until the middle of next week.
In the central valleys and lake regions
the temperature Sunday promises to
equal the record for the season.
