The drawing this year was different
from the usual plan.
This arrangement was brought about
by giving visiting players the Cdd
numbers and the local players the even
numbers. SO that the first round should
be square issue between the home
talent and the Uitlanders In previous
tournaments it has often happened
ttat the strong players of St Paul.
Minneapolis and the outside world get
together on the first round and rob
the subsequent games of part of the
interest that should attach as the tour
nament progresses~to a conclusion. The
arrangement gave great satisfaction
ard was undoubtedly the cause of the
large entry-a record breaker.
Before commencing play the assoca-
ton was grouped around the cham
pion and eXchampions and photo
graphed.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Some of the Principal Brands
Sold in This vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers of the
effect upon the human system of food made
with alum baking powders and the opinions
that have been published from noted scien-
fists to the effect that such powders render
the food unwholesome leading to grave dis
orders of the stomach, liver and heart have
caused numerous inquiries for the names of
the various alum powders.
In Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota and Wis
consin of such importance do the food au-
thorities deem the matter that the names of
the alum powders are officially made public,
and the legislatures of the latter two states
have provided that there shall be printed
upon the labels of all packages of this class
of powders the statement that they contain
alum.
Information as to the list here given has
been obtained from the official reports of the
Ohio and New Jersey Food Commissions
from the Agricultural Department chemist al
Washington, and from other equally reliable
authority
DAVIS o. K...... Contains Alum
R. b. Davis & Co., New York,
oNo" J. P Dieter Co.. Chicago Sn'''nS Alum
LESLIE Contains Alum
The A. Colburn Co., Philadelphia.
GRAND H. &c, Contains Alum
A. Il Contains Alum
Grand Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. New York.
In addition to these it is learned that many
grocers are selling what they call their owl
private or special brands. These powders are
put up for the grocer, and his name put upOr
the labels by manufacturers of alum powders
in Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York, ant
elsewhere. The manufacturers, it Is said
find their efforts to market their goods il
this way greatly aided by the ambition of tn,
grocer to sell powder with his own namt
upon the label, especially as he can make al
abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers
doubtless, do not know that the powders the!
are thus pushing contain alum and would b,
actually contraband in many sections if solC
without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the names o
all the alum baking powders in the market
They are constantly appearing in all sorts 0
disguises, under all kinds of cOgnomens, ant
at all kinds of prices, even as low as five ant
ten cents pound. They can be avoided
however, by the housekeeper who will bea
in mind that all baking powders sold a
twenty-five cents or less per pound ar
liable to contain alum, as pure cream @
tartar powders cannot be produced at any
thing like this price

FORCED TO KILL HIMSELF.
He Was Declared Officially Dead and
Then Driven to Suicide.


This is true story; In San Francisco
there's Chinese secret society the laws
of which are as strict and unchanging as
those of the Medes and Persians. One of
the members of this society told some of
its secrets--an offense punishable by
death. He was to be tried in the usual
way before tribunal of the society.
The night of the ordeal was fixed The
culprit was represented by able counsel,
but the sentence was death-as was ex-
pected. An executioner was called from
an adjoining room. He was a strapping
big Chinaman and wore one of those hid
eous wooden masks that art critics think
so beautiful. He carried a double edged
sword fully five feet long. To test the
edge he folded newspaper in eight parts,
and the knife went through those eight
thicknesses of paper as if it were bit of
butter in summer time.
The culprit was put down upon his
knees, and another Chinaman, also on his
knees, faced him and caught the traitor by
the cue. He drew the oulprit's neck to-
ward him, the smOck was pulled over his
shoulders, and with one mighty swing the
double edged sword descended. Like a
flash it Glove the air and then-stopped.
A fractional part of an inch separated the
sword from the victim's neck. Very, very
gently the eXecutioner brought the weapon
down until it just touched the traitors
neck. Then, as it is a crime to kill a man
in San Francisco, he stopped He brought
the sword to his side again, turned to the
judges and said:
/ 1.-THE oulprit is dead"
The newly executed got to his feet and
said something to the judge. The judge
! did not heed-for the culprit was dead. He
tried to speak to the Cinnamon, who were
hurrying from the hall But he spoke tC
deaf ears. To all intents and purposes he
was dead man
He made his way into the street and the
first thing that caught his eye was a huge
poster proclaiming to all Chinatown that
he had been executed that evening. Nc
one would speak to him, no one would
look at him. He was dead man--just al
dead as If the executioner's sword had IL
reality descended.
For a whole week that man wandered
about Chinatown, the posters proclaiminl
his execution staring him in the face a
every turn. Not a crust Of bread could HI
beg, not mouthful of water. His people
knew him as dead-he was past, gone
buried
And so one day he wandered up into th'
American portion of San Francisco. auC
stole a revolver from a messenger boy
who was showing it to some companions
Then he ran down into Chinatown, sa
down on the pavement beneath one of hi
own death notices and blew the addlet
brains out of his poor Chinese head.-Phil

White Haven, borough of steep hills

has been long trying to solve the difficulty Of

came to the notice of A. r. Dunning, chief

before the town authorities which was
adopted.
Mr.. Dunning's plan contemplatos the erec-

fire can be built in the boilers of the pump.

sounded steam will be quickly raised, the

Frederick, Nd, May 91.-A runa-

this county, yesterday resulting in the
instant death of Guy Gaver and the
serious injury of his father, Martin
L. Gaver. The two were driving a
team down South mountain. Mr.. Gaver
stopped the horses to get drink of
water. A moment later the team took
fright and dashed down the mountain
side at a frightful speed, with the boy
on one OF the horses. Mr.. Gaver fol-
lowed the runaway and caught up with
the team, The horses turned upon
him, knocking him down and rendering
him unconscious. After he regained
consciousness - he found the lifeless
body of his son in the road. The mad
dened horses disappeared over an en-
bankment.
