Ocean Yacht Race Gossip.

Niew York, May 21.-Paul Eve ste
venson. the noted yachting writer.
says:
"All attempt to estimate with even
approximate accuracy the chances of
any given boat in the kaiser's cup race.
which started on Tuesday at the Sandy
Hook Lightship. would be almost as
futile as a weather forecast six months
ahead. So great variety OF condi-
tions will be encountered in the 5000
miles that the eleven yachts started
upon an almost equal basis. though
naturally the most highly developed
boat from the naval architects -iiew-
point would be the favorite in calcu-
lating the odds and chances.
'Still. it is entirely conceivable that
the schooner Hamburg. a Watson de-
signed racing boat. should be defeated
by the Fleur de Lis. q much smaller
cruising schooner. Again. much inter-
est attaches to the various rigs of the
competitors, four types being repre-
scented, viz. yawl. schooner. bark and
ship; while still wider range exists
In the dimensions. the extremes being
obtained in the Fleur de Lis of ninety
one gross tons and the Valhalla OF
1000 gross tons.

Labor Unions File Demurrer.

Denver, May 23-The defendants in
the damage suit brought In the federal
court against those implicated in the
Colorado City strike. wherein the bus
mess of the United States Reduction
and Refining Company was seriously
crippled. have filed demurrers to the
complaint. The milling company sued
for damages amounting to over $780,
900 because of the damage incurred
during the strike. indicating as those
responsible the Western Federation OF
Miners, the Colorado City Mill and
Smeltermen's Union. Charles II. Meyer,
w. ID. Haywood, John M. O'Neill, L.
N. Edwards, II. T. Sanger, Charles
Lyon and Thomas Daniels.
The two labor organizations demur
on the grounds that they are voluntary
associations, without corporate exist
ence, and therefore cannot sue or be
sued. The men named claimed that
they have been engaged In no con-
spiracy against the company, that no
contracts were damaged by the strike,
that no conspiracy is shown in the
complaint, that the boycott charge is
not supported and that the complaint
does not show that they committed
any unlawful act. All the assertions,
they allege, are mere cocclusions Of

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market, viz:-Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important.
from the standpoint Of health, to
know something about these ingredi-
ents. 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
which is alum. Alum ic cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to Csc. a pound.
e., Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis Of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer Of phosphate powder. The u.
s. Patent Office Report gives a full
ing extract is enough:
fBurned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From thls Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 80 cents pound.
(3) 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 is scraped from the cask. boil
ed with water, and crystals OF Cream
Of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
Of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness Is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
10 to SO cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one.
careful Of the health Of the family,
should remember this rule: e:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of MineralAcids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents Of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.

The EPWORTH LEAGUE
CONVENTION At DENVER in JULY
Small Army at Work Making Prepara-
tIons-Large Attendance Prom
Ised From All Sections.

Denver, May 22.-Plans for the In
ternational Epworth League conven-
tiOn, which meets In Denver, July 5th
to 9th. are maturing rapidly, and the
various chairmen have their work or.
ganized to point where they could re-
ceive the visitors at any time they
might choose to come. The program
committee in Chicago has sent word
that brilliant men of national reputa-
ton will be heard at the convention
Speaking of the work done by the local
executive committee, Secretary w. C..
Williams said yesterday:
"A small army, including over 1000
people, is now working for the Epworth
League convention committee, and as
the convention approaches this army
will increase in size. The convention
committee is holding meetings every
Friday evening at the Albany hotel,
and will continue to meet regularly
until the convention. Every committee
Is thoroughly organized and equipped
and could handle the vast crowds that
are coming, with only two weeks no
tice.
There has been considerable specu-
lation as to the attendance at the con-
vention and some wild prophesies
have been made, but the committee is
very conservative when it places the
ngures at 10000. Letters from trans
portation managers all over the United
States indicate this, and there are
many parties being formed. of which
the committee has no notice at this
time. The Union Pacific has fifty
trains over its line already scheduled.
"The secretary's Office on the second
floor Of the Club building, is a busy
place. We have sent out over 10000
copies of our convention prospectus,
with several thousand more yet to be
circulated. We have had literature in
abundance at every Epworth League
district convention that has been and
will be held between May 1st and July
1st. The transportation managers in
nearly every state have issued neat
and attractive convention folders with
views of Denver and Colorado, while
all Colorado railroads and the eastern
lines have also issued attractive
pamphlets. In addition to this, over
twenty Methodist papers that circu-
lated among millions of people have is
sued special convention editions with
views and write-ups Of Colorado. The
amount of advertising the city and
state have received is incalculable.
A new committee has been added
to the general committee. that of state
clubs. c. NJ. Dearborn is chairman. The
people Of the city are taking hold of
the state club proposition with en-
thusiasm. Pennsylvania leads the list
SO far with an immense membership.
Illinois and Iowa state clubs will be or
ganized Tuesday evening at Trinity
church, and the rivalry between these
two states for the largest club is very
keen.
"One of the interesting contests at
the coming convention will be that be-
tween several cities to capture the
next Epworth League gathering, two
years hence. Minneapolis and Dallas.
Texas, together with some of the cit
les on the Atlantic coast and Birming-
ham. Alabama, are the principal cities
in the race. Birmingham has SO far
made the most systematic and effect
i've bid.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration Of Homes.


The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when. with our better meth
ods for interior decoration, better ef.
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings. whether they be
Of paint, or Of kalsomine. or OF Ala
bastine-whatever the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power. as we'll as permanency and
beauty Of color. Alabastine. q wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rocks
the ideal covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs In the large cathe-
drals and churches, have perma-
nency and an art Of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach OF the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine. which is permanent in its
coloring.: It does not rub on, and II
has the soft effect Of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort of 1t. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed is to lay q sheet or canvas ON
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail. make the solution and simply
brush II on the wall. That is all there
Is to It, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.

vo7 e FOR REUNION.
Two Branches Of Presbyterian Church
to Join Forces.

Winona Lake Ind, May 23.-Amid a
storm OF applause, without debate or
a dissenting voice, the general assem-
bly, OF the Presbyterian church, yester-
day, voted to reunite with the Cumber-
land Presbyterian body, which with
drew from the original denomination
February a. 1861. thereby, in effect,
bringing together the two largest
branches of the Presbyterian faith.
BY the adoption in it's entirety of the
report of the special canvassing COM
mittee, the assembly ordered that the
question as it now stands be referred
to the committee on cooperation, the
membership of which was increased to
twenty-one. with the provision that it
have power to confer with a committee
from the Cumberland body to the end
that details of the consolidation may
be worked out in report to the next
general assembly.
The committee will consider the cor
porate and legal rights OF both bodies,
keeping the consolidation within the
legal limits, thereby avoiding civil
suits and injunctions. The special
committee. in it's report on the ques-
tion of consolidation, canvassed the
vote by presbyteries, showing IA yeas
and 80 nays. Two presbyteries took
no action, one gave conditional assent,
and five made no report.
The proposed union with the Re-
formed church, the general synod, was
discussed, but no action was taken
pending action by that body, which is
in session in New York
The general assembly yesterday
voted to select special committee to
arrange for a celebration during May
of next ear of the 200th anniversary
of the formation OF the first presbytery
in Philadelphia. 1t is the general un-
derstanding that this celebration will

Tonight-Terrified Chorus Girls.

| New York, Feb. 4.-There was much
excitement at the Colonial theater this
morning when a big bear, escaping
from a nearby room, rushed on the
stage during a rehearsal, attacked sew.
eral of the performers, and before he
was overpowered bit and clawed act
ors quite severely. Libby Blondell
and James McCree were the most Sc
verely injured. AS the big animal
rushed on the stage he struck Miss
Blondell with his paw and knocked
her down, the bear rolling over her,
striking at the woman savagely. Nc
Cree and another man seized the brute
and tried to drag it away from the
actress, when the bear turned on them
and made deep gashes in their bodies
with his claws. The terrified chorus
girls ran screaming all over the build
ing. Stage hands finally secured ropes
and made a prisoner of the animal.
The bear was to be used in a wres,
Ting act, and was thought to be safely
in his cage. Owing to the injuries re,
ceived by the principal players, and
the excitement consequent upon this
mornings incident, iC is announced this
afternoon that the theater will not
open tonight. This was to mark the
opening of the establishment as one of
the ~handsomest theaters Of New York.
1t will not open its doors now until

the lessons of the recent rioting The
famous writer declares that all gov.
ernments are nothing but organized
institutions, which, being immune from
punishment, have the power to punish
and plumber others. The elementary
measures demanded in Russia, such
as freedom of speech, person and con.
science. do not touch the central prob.
lem, which, he declares, is Nationalist
ton or communism of land. The free
press existing in other countries is
free in name only, being controlled by
the wealthy. The only hope, Tolstol
declares, lies in %perfecting the indivi-
dual morally and religiously. When
real respect for others comes, then
hatred and brute force will disappear.
