CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
FiSCATED IN NEW YORK

Judge Clarke of st. Louis has convicted
and fined heavily a number of groeers
for selling baking powder containing
alum.
The week before the Health Department
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 into the river.
The Health authorities are thus taking
effective means to prevent the introduce
ton into our markets Of Injurious substi-
tutes in place of wholesome baking pow
ders.
AS alum costs only two cents pound,
there is a great temptation for those man
ufaeturers who make substitutes and imi-
tation 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 i'm
portant, cannot make a chemical exam
nation. 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 i'm
portance of this subject and consumers
insist on having baking powder of estab-
lished name and character, ard as the
Health authorities continue their vigorous
crusades, the alum danger will. it is
hoped, finally be driven from our homes.

STATE HOSPITAL CHANGES
DR.. Charles Frischbier APP
pointed Assistant at the
Trenton Institution.
Especial to 9.The Jersey city News.'D

Especial to "The Jersey City News.'D
TRENTON, May 2, 1902.-Dr. Charles p.
Frischbier. of the Manhattan State Hos
pital New York, was appointed fourth
assistant physician of the State Hospital
above this city at meeting of the Board
of Managers yesterday. The salary is 5000
year with maintenance.
DR.. Frischbier fills the vacancy caused
by the retirement last summer by DR..
William F. Jones. the third assistant
physician, whose place was taken by Dr.
Paul L. Cort, then fourth assistant.
When DIR. Jones's services were dis
pensed with last summer, the Board an
nounced first that it was because the
staff was larger than was needed, but for
the disclosures made by the True Ameri-
can" at that time this statement might
have stood unqualified. 1t was, however,
subsequently qualified when the Board
found itself in hot water and attempted
to load as much of the blame as possible
for the mismanagemen of the institution
on the shoulders of DR.. Jones.
The appointment of q fourth assistant
physician is taken as an admission by the
Board that it made an error in Judgment
in reducing the staff. or else that it is
anxious to have the filling of a place
which but few months ago it declared
unnecessary.
DR.. Frischbier comes to Trenton highly
recommended. and his appointment was
made in accordance with report made
by the Medical Committee of the Board of
Managers.

ican Revolution, which is meeting at the
New, Willard >hotel here thiss-week. He
arrived yesterday accompanied by a deie-
cation pf n NeWaJ Jersey Sons, principally
resideits 81 xtfe upper portion of the
State. ard at once secured a fine suite
of rooms in the hotel.
This afternoon the entire party paid q
visit to Mr. Vernon and held exercises OF
an impressive nature at the tomb Of

the privilege of entering the rooms in the
historic old structure which at one time
was the home of the Father of His Coua-
try. A specially chartered steamer con-
Mount Vernon and after the ceremonies
famous old Marshall Mansion, where a
shad-bake was held.
Last night reception was given at the
New Willard, at which the chief execu-

the officers of the governing body of the
Sons of the American Revolution through

The original patriotic organization,
composed of descendants of the men who
fought under Washington for American
independence, was formed in San Fran
cisco in 1875 1t was called the Sons OF
Patriot Sires and about twenty-five States
were drawn into the movement, with q
membership of 1000 In 1888 an effort was
made to nationalize the organization and
a meeting was held in New York. 1t was
largely attended, but dissatisfaction arose.
5 II was charged that the New York State
delega tion's society desired to control the
organization. and as result large num-
Der of members, under the leadership or
the Pennsylvania society, withdrew and
organized the present Sons of the Revolu-
ton. The remaining members of the or
iginal body then met at Fraunces' tavern
in New York. the historic building in
which General Clinton entertained ten-
seral Washington on the night the British
troops evacuated New York. and where

IDLE MAN TRIES SUICIDE
pespondens Frank McDonough
D-iuk, Carbolio Acid.

Frank MeDonough, forty-six years of
age. of No 42etk Grove street, attempted
suicide yesterday afternoon by drinking
carbolic acid in the hallway of his home.
He was found by one of the tenants of
the house lying on the first landing suf-
fering from the effects of the acid, which
had badly burnt his month and the out
side of his face.
The police of the Seventh street sta
ton we're notified and the man was re-
moved to St. Francis's Hospital in the
patro. wagon.
The unfortunate man has a wife and
two children and his recovery is doubt
full. The only reason for his act that
could be learned at his home was that
he was out of work for the past two
months and had been drinking heavily
since he lost his position
