WAR OF THE RIVAL POWDERS

To the Editor of the Globe:
! see by your paper that Dairy Com
missioner Bowler says the prosecution of
Patrick O'Grady. of this city, on a
charge of selling baking powder in VIC
lation of the state food laws, was not
Instituted by his department.
Can you tell me who did begin it?
St Paul. Oct. &C. 1900.
The q o e has the authority of AS
Eistant County Attorney F. w Zollman,
for the statement that the complaint
against Mr.. O'Grady was made by J. c.
Lyon, and the only ]. c. Lyon in the ST
Paul directory is Miss Josephine c. Lyon,
whose occupation is given as stenograph-
er In the employ of Mum IL Thygeson,
paper row.
When the O'Grady case came Up in
court, number of local attorneys par
tfcipated to a greater or less extent.
among them John D. o Brien, T, r. Pal
mer, George Walsh and others.
1t vas generally understood at the
time that the prosecution was an attempt
on the part of the cream of tartar powder
people to have the sale of powders con-
tanning alum summarily declared a vic
lation of the state food law, which for
bids the sale of baking powder contain
ing any substance deleterious to the
= public health.
The alum baking powder people, how
ever, contended that the question wheth-
er or not alum was deleterious to the
public health was matter for scientific
contention, as well as legal determination
by the courts.

Five Hundred Youths Entertained

Secretary Grace,s Plans
''Tomkin's Night at the Young Mems

great success last evening from every
point of view
Secretary Grace, during the course IF
the programme, made a few remarks and
told how he expected to realize his plan
for recreation department from the
proceeds of the lecture course which has
been arranged for this fall at a great
expenditure of money and care
The secretary started that LOO mem
bers was the usual record for cities OF
10000 people, but as St. Paul was larger
the 7. M G. A. ought to get few new
members more than the organiza ton
has at present. To do this he proposed
to establish a recreat ton department The
gymnasium draws about 500 members, the
baths 300, and the night school 200. The
new department with it's billiard tables,
bowling alleys and other amusements IS
to bring the membership up to 1880 If
possible. The entire project rests upon
the success In financial way of the
lectures and entertainments which are
provided for this fall.
w. j. Tomkins, accompanied by Henry
Deliaf1eld, entertained the 500 youths who
had assembled with their never-failing
supply of fun and musical features It
appeared as II the audience never eX
pected to allow the artists a moment s
rest, so continuously did they applaud
and clap for more

taken the trouble to consult Mr.. P. J.

Mrs. Smith is, of course, and Mr..

MARYLAND'S FINANCES.
The State Is Practically Free
From Debt-City and
Counties.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 81
The statement of Mr.. w. II.
Armstrong, of Hagerstown, pub.
lished in the Sun of Monday,
caused some surprise here among
treasury officials. They regard
the assertion that Maryland has
a greater per capita public debt
than any State i'll the Union but
one as highly detrimental to the
State and entirely incorrect. If
it were so i'll 1860, when the cen
suS was taken, it is not so now.
In point of fact, it was not so in
1890. Maryland is in as good a
financial condition perhaps as
any State in the Union. 1t is one
of the few States which imposes
no tax upon property for the sup
port of the State government.
The only State tax is 125 cents
for the public schools. which in
many other States is a local tax.
and 81 cents to create sinking
fund to pay the State debt at
maturity. The State is practi
cally out of debt. 1t could sell
its securities at any time and pay
its outstanding debt.
On January l, 1900, the debt
OF the State was as follows: Total
funded debt, $6,0OO,326 sinking
fund, 81, 900, 600; leaving net
debt of S5,00O,O0O. AS an offset
TO this the State owns an annuity
OF $50, 600 on the Northern Cen
tral Railway, which is valued at
nearly 50, 200, 600. 1t also owns
a third interest in the Washing
ton Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which is valued
at 81, 100000 and could probably
be sold at that sum. In addition
to this there is the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal for which the
State has been offered $500. 600.
but which ought to bring $1,000, =
600. All these items would wipe out
the State debt. Therefore, the
State debt of Maryland per cap.
ita is practically nil.
In Baltimore City the gross
debt is about 40,000,0OO, but
nearly all of this was incurred
for the water works and parks.
The interest on che former is paid
by the receipts from the water
rents and on the latter by the
park tax on the street RAILWAYS,
So neither is charge upon prop.
erty. The city has So, 500, 900 in
the sinking fund and owns the
Western Maryland Railroad.
which has been valued at over
O.0OO. 900, which, with other
assets, reduces the real net debt
OF the city to something like $1O,-
OOO,O 900 or $l5, 100000.
The Comptroller's office here
has no data of county and town
indie debtedness, but they cannot
exceed $4,000, 900, so a careful
computation puts the State,
county and municipal indebted
ness of Maryland at something
like sl5 or 500 per capita at the
outside.
