CONGRESS IS AMAZED
PRESIDENTS AssUMACY sTARTLEs
 THE oLDTIMERs.
Occupant of White House Thinks Him. self Member of Both Houses of Congress--Now Opposed
 To Cannon.

Washington, June 16.-(Special) )- The question asked in Washington is not the time of day nor whether one thinks 1t will rain. but Does the coun- try generally back the President in his extraordinary usurpation of pow er?''
 He assumes to sit as a member of every subcommittee in congress, as a member of every committee and en- titled to a seat on the floor coupled with the right of debate
 The Republicans are enraged and the Democrats are amazed by his conduct in attempting to drive through his been seen like his attempt to impose his opinion on Congress. The Presi- dent deliberates but not Congress. Will an assembly hall be built In the White House grounds where Congress can meet and take its orders by word or mouth instead of letters?
 It must be said that the general opinion in Washington is that the peo- pie will back him up. that he is the best self advertiser the country has ever had in the Presidential chair and his present effort to ram a bill down the throat oi Congress will be in a way successful.
 The bill will not be precisely what he has demanded, but the people will be made to think he has secured a triumph.
 The contest on the meat inspection bill Is really between him and the Speaker. He and the Speaker have been in alliance throughout the sess on until this bill came up. The speaker, from Illinois, is for the packers The President Is against them. The Presi- dent practically admits he had never read the Wadsworth substitute for the Beveridge amendment and he has per sonally denounced Beveridge for mis- leading him as to the contents of the Wadsworth substitute.
 He has never, as all the world knows, gotten recommendation framed into u law, will fail this time.
 In the meantime, all Washington will continue to ask the question. Are the people with him?" Washington Is cursing hun heartily and withal Wash ington wonders how the people regard him.
 Congressman Bowie. who prepared the minority report from the Commit tee on Agriculture believes in holding up the hands of the President. He be- Meves the packers want to emasculate the bill and are about to accomplish this by providing packer inspectors, packing house court review, the ex- penses t1 be paid by the government.

'FRlsco's CROP OF GENIUS.
Second Only to New York In vigor
and Freshness of Its Literature.

New York is of course the great
American market for literary wares,
says E. s. Martin in Appleton's
Magazine. There is also a measure of
hospitality shown to writer's and their
products in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi

But San Francisco for thirty years
past has beaten all four of these sub
sidiary literary centers in the fresh
mess and vigor of it's inspirations.
1t has had an ocean of its own to

The passionate warmth of his ap-

from head to foot with the strangest
passion mortal ever experienced. He
would win her back from death. He

would die in the effort. The perspira-

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails. or
scarcely exists. 1t is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as Is the case
with Alum, but leaves a residue In the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
injurious r~esiduous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words les nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev.
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

TENDERFooT KNEW THE ROPES
His Suspicion of Cowboys Marksman-
ship Was Verified.

Ex-Delegate Rodey, of New Mexico.
tells a story illustrative of the trite
saying that circumstances alter cases.
Some of the citizens of a certain
southwestern town, which was still In
the class of frontier settlements, de-
vised a new method of inducing ten
derfoot" visitors to furnish entertain
ment for the crowd. When the stran-
ger arrived in town and began the
making of acquaintances by conven-
tional methods the ringleaders would
present to him one OF the natives, who
was described as a marve1ously accu-
rate shot. To satisfy the curiosity
and interest invariably manifested by
the stranger the marksman would con
sent to give an exhibition of his skill
after considerable urging on the part
of his friends. Raising his six-shooter
the celebrity would address the stran.
ger: do you see that man smoking
a cigar about two blocks down the
street there? I'll hit the cigar with
out making the man bat an eye"
Bang! went the six-shooter, and
JAIN CdluC -luO Sly up liz otiOOt.
"See here, Bill, you have got to
stop this thing. That's : the fourth
cigar you have spoiled for me to-day.
l don't like it. Get somebody else to
practice on"
The astonished stranger could al
ways be depended on after such an
exhibition ITO set up" the marksman
and his friends. One day there APP
peared a visitor less credulous than
his predecessors. After the usual ex-
hibition this stranger appeared scorn-
full of the feat.
That's nothing" he declared. THAT
does not prove you can shoot. I'll
wager 500 you can't hit a barn door
at 100 yards"
The marksman took him up, and,
followed by the crowd, retired with
him to the back Of the store for the
test. A shot was heard, and shortly
afterward the alleged marksman came
back looking very glum.
Whats the matter. BiIl?s asked
the man whose duties behind the
counter had kept him from enjoying
the tenderfoot's discontinue.
Matter" growled Bill. Matter
enough. That greenhorn set the loo
up edgewise!" ~
