FIVE DROWNED.
Rowboat Capsizes in Hudson River
with Fatal Results OF
Barrytown, N. T. w..

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, April thames
Malloy, fisherman of Barrytown,
started across the Hudson river in a
rowboat at that place Monday night
with six Polanders and before reach
ing the other shore the boat capsized
and Malloy and four of the Polanders
were drowned.
The party of Polanders arrived at
Barrytown from Albany. The little
steamer that was to have conveyed
them across the river had departed and
as there were no large boats in the
water Malloy offered to take them to
their destination in his skiff, small
boat that was not capable of carrying
three men without danger of being
sunk. The Polanders accepted the in
vitation. The water was rough and
when the boat was about two-thirds
across the river it was over
turned. Two young men put out in q
rowboat and succeeded in rescuing two
of the Polanders. One of the men is
in critical condition.

LOSS OF LIFE APPALLING.

Destroyed.

London, April S-Fifty thousand
lives lost in one district alone and
many thousands in other portions of the
Punjab is the awful result of the recent
earthquake in India. Towns have been
RACED, ancient and historic buildings
made mass of wreckage, and popula-
ton Of hundreds of thousands offer
up prayers against a repetition of the
shocks. Amid all this horror men.
women and children are starving. and
unprotected from the weather huddle
on the bleak and desolate hillsides,
fearing death at any moment from an
other earth CONFUSION.
Only the most meager details have
been received here, but they are enough
to show that it is almost impossible to
conceive of the magnitude of the disas-
ter. The whole Kangra valley in the
Jullinder section of the Punjab has been
devastated. The town of Kangra, in the
same district, thriving city with a
population of $4,000, is reported wiped
out, scarcely soul escaping.
Fragmentary reports of the dreadful
catastrophe have reached Lahore and
thence sent here. Piecing these reports
together it is impossible not to reach
the conclusion that the greatest disas-
ter of modern times, exceeding the hor-
ror of Mount Pelees eruption, has be-
fallen India.

AIDES formed of wagons in the streets

Montgomery Ward & Co. strike. He
said he was willing to act as the arbi-
traitor, or would work faithfully to aid
both sides in selecting an umpire. The
wagons were not hindered SO much Tues
day as Monday, although each caravan.
accompanied by the police in patrol
wagons and afoot, was followed by i
jeering crowd that hooted the nonunion
drivers.
Chicago, April 13.-All negotiations
for settlement of the Transfers
strike were declared OFF at noon
Wednesday, after failure of employ
ers and labor men to come to an
agreement.

suspended, and the people tiocked to the
scene.
The public hold the engineers and

dered strict inquiry.
AS the day passed the indignation
and excitement increased, and serious
disorders were feared. especially on
the occasion of the funerals of the VIC
Tins. should the authorities undertake
to prevent professions passing through
the center of the city. Incipient dem
onstrations were directed against
those held to be responsible for the
disaster. Professions of women carry

crowd marched to the center of the
city and forced the merchants to close

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market. viz: ~ Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid OF
Phosphate. and (3) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. It is important,
from the standpoint of health, to know
something about these ingredients, and
which kind is used in your baking
powder.
~ Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this
solution a product is obtained which
IS alum. Alum is cheap; costs about
two cents pound, and baking powder
made with this Mineral-Acid sells from
10 to Csc. a pound.
(2D BOnc-Acid, or Phosphate, is tho
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manu-
factnrer of q phosphate powder. The
U. s; Patent Office Report gives full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of
vitriol and with continual stirring
and IN the following proportion"
etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents pound.
go Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice from
the press in the manufacture Of wine.
After the wine is drawn of the tartar
y scraped from the cask, boiled with
water, and crystals Of Cream Of Tar
tar, white and very pure, separate and
are collected. It differs in no respect
from the form in which it originally
existed in the grape Cream of Tar
tar, then, while the most expensive, is
the only ingredient that should be used
In baking powder to act upon the
soda. as its wholesomeness is beyond
question. Cream of Tartar baking
powders sell at about 40 to so cents a
pound.
Such are the facts and every one.

should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to Is cents a
