CONDEMNED in Missouri and Confisca-
ted in New York.


Judge Clarke Of st. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to preveRt the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of injuri-
baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents pound
there is a great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substitutes
and imitation goods to use it. Alum
baking powders can be detected by
the health authorities by chemical an
alysis, but the ordinary housekeeper,
whose assistance in protecting the
health Of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination.
She may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for
a pound can, or that some priZe-like a
spoon, or glass, or piece Of crockery, or
wooden ware-is given with the powder
as an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance Of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder of
established name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum danger
will, it is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.

SEEKS A HIDDEN FORTUNE.
Fifteen Thousand Dollars Said to Be
Buried Near ST. Louis.

Fifteen Thousand Dollars Said to Be
Buried Near st. Louis.
Fifteen thousand silver dollars in tight
ly closed nail kegs are said to be buried
near the home of Judge Henry G.
Wright, who died at Ivory. st. Louis
County, Mo-. the other day. The money
was paid to Judge Wright by Andrew
Fuchs, who purchased his farm of 600
acres near kassebaum postofiice for $lo.-
600. Mr.. Fuchs. who is now dead, was
as peculiar as Judge Wright. One of Mr..
Fuchs peculiarities was his aversion to
paper money. He argued that it would
mold and decay, but that silver would
last for generations. 1t was the only
kind of money that he would accept,
and when he bought Judge Wrights
farm he paid him in silver coin. The
coin was put in nail kegs, and he hauled
it in a wagon to Judge Wright's home
when the deal was consummated. What
Judge Wright did with the money is not
exactly known. but Alexander lamo-
reaux. who married his adopted daugh-
ter, is almost certain he buried it some
where near the place.

ODD COIN FOUND.

Unearthed in Glacial Clay Fifteen
Feet Below the Surface.
The finding of an ancient Chinese
coin of a species never before seen in
this country, according to the opinions
of the present-day coin experts, has
caused much speculation in Buffalo, es'
pecially among the geological students
1t was discovered imbedded in the gla'
cial clay at a depth of fifteen feet be-
low the surface by workmen at the
steel plant. c. G. Conkling, the chief
engineer at the plant, took charge OF
the coin, and he is authority for the
statement as to it's location at the time
Of discovery. Mr.. Conkling, although
not a coin expert, appreciated the ex'
traordinary conditions under which the
copper piece was found and noted its
condition. One edge of the coin was
noticeably worn, and Mr.. Conkling says
this, no doubt, Is due to the action of
the water upon it.
The coin somewhat resembles the
Chinese money of the present day SO
far as the shape is concerned. 1t has
the square mole III Cne center, out the
characters upon it differ slightly from
those Of the present Chinese script.
The copper piece was turned over to
J. ]. Albright some months ago, and
it is said Mr.. Albright intends to have
it's date learned, If possible. Mr.. Conk,
ling said that the coin was found by
laborers who were engaged in excava.
ting a space for one of the furnaces at
the steel plant. There seems to be
some question as to whether or not the
coin was Embedded in the clay. The
workmen say it was, but there is a
possibility that it was buried in the soft
earth and fell into the excavation after
the glacial clay had been reached
However that may be, the coin is ex-
ceptional, and New York experts are
Uaid to be at loss to classify it.
The geological students Of this. city
are deeply interested in the coin and
the conditions under which it was
found. If Mr.. Albright has no obie,
tons, it is said that an effort will be
made to have the piece sent to China
for any additional information that
may be giyen.-Buffalo Express.

wATERsPoUTs RUSH AT SHIP.
Steamer Encounters Huge Pillars OF
Water Near Cape Hatteras.

Captain Ferguson of the steamship
Hestia, from Cuba, reports an exciting
experience. When 100 miles south OF
Cape Hatteras the ship ran into a ter
rife rain and electrical storm. TO wind
ward were seen seven waterspouts form
ing and rushing toward the ship. AL
though it was estimated they were half
mile off, the roar was plainly audible.
Six of the spouts failed to form, and their
columns broke and fell into the sea. But
the remaining spout gathered force and
volume and rushed in its spiral course to-
ward the Hestia. The ship Qulvered as
the huge column of water struck it. The
spout crossed the desk between the house
amidship and the cabin. in a diagonal
streak. 1t tore the canvas hatch cover
lngs away, but, beyond the quivering of
the steamer under the great weight,
there was no serious damage.
