Death has claimed one of Law

terday she became gradually worse,
until hope was despaired of and
late yesterday it was apparent that
the fair sufferer could last but a
short time. All that human power
could do was done, but to no avail
and when the end finally came, the
grief stricken parents were almost
frantic. She was the only child and
how dearly they loved her could be
but briefly understood in their an
guish and pain. She had come here
with her parents in the early days
from Kansas and by her pleasant
and accomplished manner had
made everyone who knew her her

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER
IS MADE.

The Health Department Of New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be ian alum powder"
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thou
sand pounds were carted to the offaf
dock and destroyed.
It is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called "cheap" articles of food.
They are sure to be made from alum,
rock, or other injurious matter. In
baking powders. the high class, cream
of tartar brands are the most eco
nomical, because they go farther in
use and are healthful beyond question.

TO FIGHT BAN JOHNSON
PLAN OF BATTLE ADOPTED BY THE
NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE.
Nothing Made Public by Mr. Brush
After the Adjournment of
the MnGnates.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The National
League executive committee completed its
first regular session at the Fifth-avenue
Hotel tonight. The members declined to
make public their plans for conducting the
fight against the American League; but
that definite plan Of action has been
adopted and that it will be thoroughly car
ried out, the committee left no room to
doubt
There is no use denying that we went
over the matter from every possible point
of view,' said James A. Hart, OF Chicago,
tonight, but to make public what the
outcome has been would be furnishing our
enemies with our ammunition" Mr.. Hart
admitted. however, that the National
League would follow up the victory gained
in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the
Lajoie case How much of a fund has
been raised by the League to conduct its
fight could not be learned. This fund was
originally placed at 500 COO each club agree
ing to give $12,5O0 The committee went into
session at noon. There were present John
T. Brush, chairman, of Cincinnati; A. IL.
Soden, of Boston; James "A. Hart. of Chi
cago, and n. Z. Young, secretary OF the
league. Andrew Freedman, president of the
New York club, was present for a short
time during the afternoon. The committee
one two unimportant changes.
The umpire question was then taken up,
and the committee selected Charles b.
Powers, of Pittsburg, as the fifth on the
staff. Mr.. Powers is newspaper man,
has successfully managed several minor
leagues, and was once a League umpire.
The following instructions were issued to
Umpires:
"Umpires must announce at the begin
ming of each game the names of the bat
teries and the umpire. If changes are
made during the game the umpire must al
once announce the same to the spectators"
Rules and regulations were adopted by
the committee governing its action. The
rules conform to the resolutions adopted
at the League meeting calling for the APP
pointment of the committee. The rules
adopted also define the powers of the chair
man, secretary and treasurer of the
League.
John T. Brush was seen after the meet
ing and asked what plan had been mapped
out for fighting the American League. He
said "A plan has been figured out, but
just what it is l cannot say at this time.
1t would injure our interests greatly TO
make anything public just now. We pro-
pose to make a vigorous fight, and no one
need be surprised TO see many of the old
League players back in their old clubs be-
fore many days have passed"
