The first drowning accident of the sea
son occurred at Riverton, Sunday after
noon, short distance from the wharf
when James J. Flanagan, 81 years of age
lost his life by being thrown from yach

% Riverton in the morning with Clar
up Faulkner and Thomas Maxwell
enoe n. are employed in the Drexe
an VI "hol. Philadelphia. They Dor
Ouiiuing' III set out under the man
rowed yacht AM who claimed to b.
agement of Faulkner, familiar u,;t,
good sailor, having be- for the pas
yachting on the Delaware
eight years 60
The boat was guided up the rive ~
as Beverly and brought back. Then -
sail was dropped and the anchor throw.
while the young men ate their lunch.
Shortly afterward several persons who
were on the wharf noticed that the occu-
pants of the boat were getting ready for
another trip. When they had the sail
partly raised something seemed to catch
it, and one of the trio went forward to the
bow. Suddenly the boat jibed, precip-
itating all three into the water Faulkner
and Maxwell succeeded in catching hold
of the boat, but young Flanagan, after
calling loudly for help, disappeared be-
low the surface. 1t is supposed that he
became so frightened as to lose his pres
ence of mind, as he was said to be an ex-
cellent swimmer.
Flanagan resided with his aunt in Phil
adelphia, but was originally from Will
mington, Del, where his parents now live.
The body was recovered by Albert Faunce,
who dived for it.

and had not gone far when he met Sena-
tor Parry. Neither man had any idea
there were two teams in the neighborhood
until collision took place. The wheels
of the carriages locked and both teams,
horses and carriages, were thrown over.
Owing to the darkness it was impossible
to work with any degree of certainty
Two of the ladies started to walk from the
wreck and brought up in a barbed wire
fence in which they soon became entan-
gled. Things were about being straight
ened out when there was a Gathering of
hoofs and horse came towards the group
on run. 1t belonged to a man who was
driving from Hainesport and his horse
had become frightened and thrown him
from the wagon into the road, where he
was discovered by another traveller. The
runaway horse passed the first party with
out collision. Senator Parry and Mr.
Darlington got their carriages righted and
proceeded on their way. The only dam
age to the party was the loss of bonnet.

The Alum Baking Powders.
Names of some of the Principal Brands Sol,
in this VicInitv

Names of some of the Principal Brands Sold

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 scientists to the effect that such
powders render the food unwhoIesome,
have caused numerous inquiries for the
names of the various alum powders
In this state, Massachusetts,, and many
other states of such Importance do the
food authorities deem the matter that the
names of alum powders are officially made
public, and in two states at least the laws
provide 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 Civ
en- has been obtained from the official re
ports Of the New Jersey Food Commission,
from the Agricultural Department chemist
at Washington, and from other equally
reliable authority:
DAVIS y. K..........C Contains Alum
R. b. Davis Co, New YORK.
SEA GULL. Contains Alum.
Potter-Parlin Co., New York.
PURE FOOD. Contains Alum
Pure Food Co., vineland, NJ.
LESLIE S.........C Contains Alum
The A. Colburn Co, Philadelphia.
GRAND UNION. $500. Contains Alum.
Grand Union Tea Co.. New York.
In addition to these, it is learned that
many grocers 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 man.
ufacturers Of alum powders in New York,
Philadelphia and elsewhere. The manu-
facturers, it is said, find their efforts to
market their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the grocer to sell
powder with his own name upon the
label, especially as he can make an abnor-
NAL profit upon it. Many grocers, doubt
less, do not know that the powders they
are thus pushing contain alum and would
be actually contraband in many sections
if sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the names
of all the alum baking powders in the
market They are constantly appearing
in all sorts Of DISCUSSES, under all kinds Of
cognomens, 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 liable to con
tain alum, as pure cream of tartar powders
cannot be produced at anything like this
price.

NOTES
o,Brien is a fast second baseman.

O'Brien is fast second baseman.
Delanco has released Verga in order tt
reduce expenses.
Tinney has been released. mcclure
will cover first base next Saturday.
Bush is lucky pitcher. Mount Holly
hit him hard, but his team won after all.
Logan's hitting was feature of the
Palmyra game. He made single, a
triple and home run.
Tinney was taken out of the game after
the seventh inning. Kelly was placed on
first and Brooks in centre.
Beyers' umpiring was criticised consid-
erably at Palmyra. Some Of his decisions
on balls and strikes were exceedingly bads
Seeds had one bad inning at Palmyra.
In the third he gave three men bases on
balls, all of whom scored on a two-base
hit that followed
All the kicking done at Beverly was by
the home team, but Umpire Ayres was
master of the occasion and soon stopped
all friction. His umpiring was good and
impartial
Thackara has been released by Scranton.
He has signed with the Utica club and
will go there this week. He was specta-
tor at the Palmyra game on Saturday
Dunn don't make much noise, but he
plays ball all the time, is good batter
and skilful base runner. On Saturday he
got two hits, stole four bases and had
three put outs, none of which were easy.
O'Neill has the reputation of being a
ball player, but he didn't show any evil
dence of skill on Saturday. Although he
is said to be terrific hitter, he struck out
twice His chief strength appears to be
his fog-horn voice, which he thinks
amuses the spectators
A very funny incident occurred in the
game at Beverly, on Saturday Bell, who
scores for the home club, was in the scor-
ers' loft, in uniform In the ninth inning
he was brought down to bat for Turner.
He looked large enough to send the ball
out of the lot, but he famed at three
straight balls and then calmly walked
back to the score book.
That was an exciting finish at Palmyra
Mount Holly scored three runs in the
ninth, two after two hands had been re-
tired. There was chance to tie the
score if Seeds had not been put out be-
tween second and third. The Palmyra
team was very nervous at the time, and
if Brooks had hit the ball anywhere along
the ground, there is no telling what might
have happened

Hedding.


Mrs. Blair, who was taken sew erely i'll a
few days ago, is suffering with rheuma
tism around the chest.
The members Of Hedding Chapter will
have days outing in Albert Carty's
woods tomorrow. The programme con-
sists of fishing, eating and good social
time generally.
One night last week some one tried to
force an entrance into the residence of
Mahlon Shreve. The visitors were pre-
sumed to be sneak thieves, who were af-
ter the handsome silverware which rested
on the sideboard only few feet from the
window at which they were working. 1t
is supposed they were frightened away by
Mrs. Shreve getting out of bed on hear
ing noise. The evidence they left was
sufficient proof of some one having been
there. This is the third time the mid
night marauders have been in our midst
and have so far escaped detection. If
they visit Mahlon again they will meet
with hot reception, as he now sleeps
with a loaded gun by his bedside, which
hitherto has been down stairs
A stomachful of undigested food is
about as unhealthy mass as one can well
imagine.
What can be done with it,
There it stays. 1t won't digest. 1t
churns up ferments and decays; becomes
poisonous Gas all putrid matter does) and
causes great pain and deep-seated disor-
ders.
In order to change all this, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial
1t stops fermentation and decay at once,
so that no more poisons are created.
1t clears the stomach of poisons already
there. 1t helps it to turn the food that re-
mains, into healthful nourishment. 1t
strengthens the stomach for the next
meal
Here is the whole philosophy and cure
of indigestion in few words And what's
more, it's all true. Try it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by
druggists, price 10 cents to $1.0O bottle
