Condemned in Missouri and Con.
fiscated in New York.

Judge Clarke of ST. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily number of
grocers for selling baking powders cons
tanning 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
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets of in
furious substitutes III place of whole
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a pound,
there is 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 analysis,
but the ordinary housekeeper, whose
assistance in protecting the health of
the people is important, cannot make
chemical examination. She may easily
know the alum powders however, from
the fact that they are sold at from ten
to twenty cents for 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 induce
ment.
As the people continue to realize the
importance of this subject and con-
sumers 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.

MISS LUCINDAE. SCUDDER.
HER DEATH OCCURS ON THURSDAY
 LAST.

Entered into rest at her home in Bethel on Thursday night, May 22, Miss Lucinda B. Scudder, aged 7O'years and II months. Mss Scudder had been in failing health for the past few months and about a week before her death pneumonia developed. She had nearly recovered from the pneu- monia when heart trouble developed and caused her death. Miss Scudder was a native of .Newtown, a grand daughter of Capt Isaac Scudder who is still remembered by some of the older residents of the town. Miss Scudder spent her younger days in Newtown but later spent much of her time in the west and for many years served as matron in a number of re- formatory institutions in Detriot, Chicago and in Middletown, Conn. In Detroit she was associated in the wor 4 with MT Brothnay, who has since won for himself worldwide reputation in prison reformatory work. For the past l5 years Miss Scudder has resided in Bethel and was connected with the Methodist church of that place and always maintained deep interest in the work of the church. In her younger days while a resident of this town she was an active member in the Congregational church. The funeral services were held at her late home on Sunday, May 26, at 2.30 p. m., Rev Dr Adams officiating The interment was in the NewtoWn cemetery.

While enroute to Newtown, last Wednesday night, the big bus of Ed gar T. Andrews got stuck in the sand, between Mrs Ferris and the Dodging- town corner. MT Andrews passengers, a party of g Masons from Bethel, had to get out of the wagon till it was pulled out of the mire. This is broad hint to the contractor who works that section to get to work at once and remedy the difficulty. The trouble in this case, as with many sec tions of our roads, is that the con- tractors are not thorough enough and work them up too narrow. The Bethel brethren were not over enthusiastic about Newtown roads when they ar rived at Sandy Hook.

FROM DURANGO TO CLIFTON.
Seems Certain That This important Railway Project
viii Become a Reality

A special dispatch to the Ell Paso
Herald from Clifton, Ariz., announces
the completion of the preliminary sur
vey of the Durango and Clifton rail-
road. The survey is something of
surprise to everyone and chiefly
promoters Of the enterprise, since it
develops that the grade for more than
400 miles will not exceed one per cent
at any point. There are only twelve
miles of two per cent gradient. E. c.
Mcconnell president of the Smelter
City Bank Of Durango. Colo, chief
promoter of the proposed line, Is now
in New York and it is stated on good
authority that he has succeeded in
financing the enterprise, practically
all the money needed having been
raised. Dirt is expected to begin turn
ing on the grades before September
next The road will pass through
practically undeveloped country, and
since it's connections, both at Durango
and Clifton are good, its financial sue
cess is assured.

our history such man was not denied
us. The moral value to a nation Of a
renown such as Washington's and
Lincoln's and McKinley's is beyond all
computation. No loftier ideal can be
held up to the emulation of ingenious
youth. With such examples we can
not be wholly ignoble. Grateful as we
may be for what they did, let us be
still more grateful for what they were.
While our daily being, tur public poll
cies, still feel the influence of their work,
let us pray that in our spirits their lives
may be vOluble calling us upward and
onward.
There is not one of US but feels proud
er of his native land because the
august figure of Washington presided
over its beginning; no one but VOWS 1t
tenderer love because Lincoln poured
out hi, blood forit; no one but must
feel his devotion for his country renewed
and kindled when he remembers how
Mckinley loved, revered and served il,
showed in his life how citizen should
live and in his last hour taught us how
a gentleman could die.

GOOD FOR SANTA FE.
The Presbyterian Congregation Decides to Become Self
Supporting

For thirty-fve years the Presbyterian
congregation in this city has received
financial assistance from the mission
board of the church. At an enthusias-
tic congregational meeting held last
evening in the church on Lincoln ave-
nue., 1t was decided to make the church
self-supporting and to decline further
assistance from the mission board. The
finances of the church during the pas
torate of Rev. w. Hayes Moore have
been in excellent condition and last
even Ing sufficient support was pledged
to ma(be up the $3.50 annually that are
vet needed to make the church self-sup-
porting. The congregation thus be-
comes the first self-supporting Protes-
tant church organization in Santa Fe,
and the fact that it is doing so well finan-
cially is credit to the good work of Mr..
Moore and also reflects the prosperous
condition of the city of Santa Fe and
its people

A GOOD WORD FOR THE SCHOOLS.
The Influence Of the Government Boarding Schools for
Indians Is for the Uplifting Of the Race.

The Denver Republican makes thu
following comment upon the statistics
published this week by the New Mex
| lean upon the mortality and moralit,
| Of the government Indian school in thi
city:
The charge made in congress tina
Indian schools are hot-beds Of immor-
ality is vigorously denied by the super
intendent of the school at Santa Fe N
NJ, as far as that institution is con-
cerned. We may depend upon it that
what is thus claimed for the Santa Fe
school is true of practically all other
Indian schools removed from reserva-
tions.
A school like that at Carlisle, Pa,
under Colonel Pratt, is credit to any
country by which 1t may be maintain
ed. The Carlisle school Is as clean and
well disciplined an institution as any
other educational establishment in the
country which is attended by boys and
young men gathered from all walks Of
life. 1t is, Furthermore, doing splendid
work among the young Indians, train
ing them in civilization and enabling
them to provide for themselves in after
life.
1t is an easy thing for a member of
congress to charge that an Indian
school Is improperly conducted, but it
may be a different matter for him to
make good his accusation.
Schools that are removed from the
reservations should not be judged by
those which, being on reservations,
are subjected to numerous evil In
fluences from which the former are
exempt. 1t is harder to maintain disci-
pline in reservation school than in
one which is so far removed that the
parents cannot interfere between
teacher and pupils. One reason why
such good work is done at Carlisle is
because 1t is so far away from influence
es that would divert the minds of the
pupils from the work before them.

THE THIRST FOR GOLD.
Prospsctors Are Getting Ready 10 Rush Into tho Navajo
Indian Reservation,

Prospectors for gold are said to be
lowering around the borders of the
great Navajo Indian reservation, south
of the San Juan river in northwestern
New Mexico. There have been rumors
from time to time of the discovery of
rich gold on the reservation. Stories
unconfirmed, vague, and often wild
and foolish in their extravaganza, but
they have served to draw to the bor-
ders of the reservation a number of
prospectors who cannot get away from
the fascinating stories. The country
has heretofore been jealously guarded
against prospectors by the Indians
and In the minds Of many there are
still fresh the memories of the days
some years ago when daring white
miners were killed by the Navajos for
daring to invade their domain.
Delegate Rodey has introduced a
bill in congress to open the Navajo
reservation to mineral entry.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Although the

response whatever is likely to be made
to the letter Of Lieutenant Governor
Tillman of South Carolina, to the pres
ident, requesting him to withdraw his
acceptance Of the invitation to be
present at the sword presentation to
Major Micah Jenkins at Charleston. It
