Mr.. sheldons Newspaper.

Rev. Thomas Nichols in his ser
mon last Sabbath morning dwelt
on the recent effort of Mr. Sheldon
to edit a newspaper as Jesus would
have done, and took occasion to
decry some of the criticisms made
on him. 1t may be that good will
come from Mr.. Sheldons example,
but as Mr. Nichols remarked condi-
tions are very different now, in fact
so widely different that it seems i'm
possible to predict what the Master
would do under the changed condi-
tion of things. Christ trebuked sin but
in some instances his methods were
totally at variance with the ideas
of his diciples who had the adgan
tage of His personal advice and ex.
ample, and while any one may, and
should, aim to follow in His foot
steps and so become an example
known to all, if a person assumes
to be such an eXemplar in matters
about which there may be so great
a diversity of honest opinion among
good men, he can hardly expect to
escape pointed criticism In spite
of Gospel teachings wickeduess has
increased and its forms become
greatly diversified, hence there are
phases of vice, both intellectual and
physical, which require distinct and
perhaps novel treatment and it is
quite possible that no person, how
ever devout, may be able to-day &c
indicate what Jesus would do il
such cases. Perhaps He woulC
abolish newspapers altogether anC
rely on the voice Of a John crying il
the wilderness.

to be congratulated 1pon the excel

be some slight troubles of a trivial

characterize this laudable enterprise

Mckinley VIII Not Interfere.

Washington, May 23.-The Boer en-
voys visited the White House, according
to previous arrangement, to pay their re-
spects to the president. No official status
was given the visitors and they presented
no credentials. The ENJOYS were received
in the blue parlor, no one being present
but themselves, the president and Secre-
tary CortelyOu.
AT first the conversation touched upon
a variety of subjects. The Beers talked
about Washington; told how they adj
mired the city and the president escort
ed them to the porch at the rear of the
executive mansion, where splendid view
is obtained of the monument and the Po-
tomac river. q.
President Kruger was finally mentioned
and the visitors then stated their purpose
in coming to this country. They said
they understood that what Secretary Hay
told them was final and that the position
of the United States was that this country
could not interfere in the struggle in
South Africa.
The president confirmed this view. He
said the action he took some time age
| when, at the request of the Transvaal
government, he had Offered his good Office,
to England to bring about peace) he die
with great pleasure in the hope that il
might possibly bring the conflict to al
end. This offer had been declined by
Great Britain, and he said there was moth
ing further which the United States coulC
do in the premises.
The ENJOYS intimated they were slaC
to feel they had friends in this country
and then babe the president good-by.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT FOOD.
How Can the Danger from Alum Bak-
ing Powders Be Avoided?


The reported cases OF poisoning from
the use of alum baking powder have
awakened the public to the serious
danger which menaces the health of
the people of this country in the num-
erous alum powders which are urged
upon consumers.
Among the leading physicians and
scientists there is no question as to the
detrimental effects which alum baking
powders produce upon the system. In
many foreign countries and in many
cities of this country, the authorities
have absolutely prohibited their sale or
the sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum given to
children. have produced fatal results.
while cases of heartburn, indigestion,
gripping constipation, dyspepsia and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous mem brane, at
tributed to the continuous use of food
prepared with the alum or alum phos-
phate powders, are familiar in the prac-
tice of physicians generally.
Congress has recently been jnvesti-
eating the subject of food, and in it's
official report to the senate the COM
mittee says: $50 far as the use of
alum in the manufacture of food
product, such as baking powder, is con-
cerned, the committee, in view of the
overwhelming mass of evidence antag-
onistic to its use, recommend that its
use in food products and baking pow
ders be prohibited by law"
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injpre the health of her household,
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger to health from their use be
avoided?
Generally alum powders may be
known from the price at which they are
sold, or from the fact that they are ac-
oompanied by gift, or are disposed OF
under some scheme. The alum powder
costs but few cents a pound to make,
and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents a
pound; sometimes as low as 10 cents.
1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any baking
powder sold at low price, or adver-
tised as costing much less than the
well known, high class powders, OF
accompanied by present, or disposed
Of under any scheme, is of this class,
detrimental to health and to be avoided
These facts should incline consumer
10 turn deaf ear to all opportunities
70 buy the inferior powders. The wise
housekeeper viii decline in all cases K
take them.

Trade Report.
New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s Review
of Trade for the past week says:

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'s Review
of Trade for the past week says:
Business is not what it was a year
ago, but men do not agree ia defining
the difference. The working force then
increasing fast, is now decreasing.
Works are stopping to relieve exces-
sive output in manufactures of paper,
cotton, wool, leather and some forms
of steel, while prices are suddenly re-
duced for the same purpose in lead,
wire and nails. What seems to some
merely spring dullness" others think
the beginning of reaction" The rem
edy for one difficulty does not fit the
other and there is more need than usual
for close attention to the meaning of
events.
In place of the wild speculation in
securities which swelled exchanges a
year ago, there has come such liquida-
lions that 20 preferred industrial stocks
have sold this week at prices averaging
1914 per share, though the same
stocks sold in April last year for 500. Ct
per share, and 20 common have sold
this week for $3.50, which sold last
year at S76.99, double the price. Yet
many of these have earned and paid
good dividends and all have enjoyed
year of extraordinary business.
The industrials have reached the low
est average they have ever known,
while the 60 most active railway stocks,
though depressed about 81 per share
since early in April, are higher now
than year ago. Business in some
lines has been hindered by the holding
of prices so high as to check consump-
ton. The closing of works oy the steel
and wire company, followed by the re-
duction of $40 per ton in prices of it's
products, the closing of many paper
mills because of over-production, the
sudden reduction of 70 cents per 100
pounds in lead from the price to which
1t was raised late in December; the re-
port that tin plate works may be closed
awhile for similar reasons, create a
feeling that some business has no long
er the guarding and guiding influences
OF prices answering quickly to the de-
mand for consumption. Transactions
at Pittsburg in Bessemer seem to be
largely at guaranteed prices" so that
definite quotations are avoided, though
much Bessemer from the east is Of
fered at very low figures. Grey forge
is shade lower there and local coke

ed at $21.50 here. Bars at Philadel-
phia are ~, while the Pittsburg asso-
citation reaffirms its quotation of &c,
which is shaded. Plates also sell there
at II cents with LIS cents quoted at
Philadelphia. The demand for struc-
tural products has been decreased by
building strikers.
