Last Sunday. A Deputy Sheriff Probably Fatally Impure food that may not seriously affect the stronger digestive organs of an adult will frequently cause the most serious illness in a child. Too frequently this important fact is overlooked, and children are made sick from eating articles that have been taken by adults without apparent injury. A child's food is largely cakes and bread, and these articles, when light, sweet, and composed of materials free from deleterious substances, are easily digested, nutritious, and wholesome. When these articles are made from pure and wholesome baking powder, they are much more healthful and nutritious than when prepared from yeast, or other leavening agent. But a danger arises from the fact that so many of the baking powders of the market are so impure as to render the food unwholesome. In fact, chemical analysis has developed the fact that all the baking powders now upon the market, with the single exception of the Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phosphates, or acids of an injurious character. When bread or cake is made with the use of such adulterated articles, these injurious substances pass into the system, and are the source of very much of the disease with which our children are afflicted. London, April 26.—Sir William Vernoo Harcourt writes flatly denying the statement that the alleged Farnell letter published by Tl'e Times was intercepted in the postofflce wh»u he was home secretary. Hakpeu's Feriiy, April 20.—Bolman heights is the favorite resort of the residents of Harper's Ferry. On Sundays especially a large number of persons, including women and children, congregate on tht hilltop and amuse themselves hunting war relics. The place has been so denuded of all mementoes of the late war that only a few pieces remained. Among these was an old shell imbedded in the side of the mountain. Sunday Jesso Jones and Frank Wallis undertook to find out whether it was loaded. With a long iron rod they opened tho mouth of the shell and soon found that it contained powder. By degrees they loosenod the I'Owder, and while they were taking it out a number of persons congregated about the spot to see the operation. All went well until the friction of the rod coming into contact with tho iron set fire to the powder remaining in the shell. A cry of alarm went up and the crowd turned to flee. Some got out of the way in time, but others were not so fortunate. An explosion that was heaid miles away almost immediately followed the flash. The shell was torn from its resting place and scattered in every direction. So tremendous was the force that several dwellings 100 yards away were almost demolished, large pieces of tho iron going clean through Mr. Pole's house. Of those persons standing in the immediate neighborhood all except six escaped injury, though a number were knocked down. Those struck by pieces of the flying shell were: Wounded, New York, Apiil 26 —Deputy Sheriff John J. McCloskey was probably fatally it jured by Sam'1. McCart, who hit him on the bead wf h a revolver, in Schneidei's saloon, 206 Ksst 34th Street, at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon. The discussion of the Irish land bill in committee in the house of lords will be begun on Maj 13. It has been decided to petition against the election of Mr. Allsopp, Conservative, as member of iDarllamsnt for Taunton, on the ground of bribery and corruption. In tlis house of %ommons last evening Mr W. St. J. Broderick, Conservative member for Guildtord, in reply to a question from Mr. Sozton, admitted that he had in a recent speech alluded to the facsimile letter published in The Times as "Mr. Parnell's letter," and stated that whenever he might have occasion to refer to it in his speeches he would continue, in the absence of any action in a court of law on tho part of Mr. Farnell, to prove that it was not his letter, to so designate it. It was now popular to allude to it •s "Mr. Parnell's letter," and the justice of the appellation could be safely left to the affirmation of the house or the country. BOYCOTTED" PATTERNS Cause a Shut Down of Shops at Roches* "Many other questions conducive to our interests will'come before the convention. Philadelphia, April 26.—The boycotted patterns of Bridge, Beach & Co., of St. Louis, have been received by the stove makers here but the fact is not generally known by the mC lders. No meeting has yet been called by tho union, and the opinion prevails that there will be no strike. ter. "The invitation of dealers to buy directly of us at home; the establishment of a fruit market of our own in New York and other places; tho arbitrary course of the New York commission men in giving away our peach baskets without even showing us tho courtesy of asking our consent, and other questions of vital importance. We must develop more new markets; we must imitate all the great and successful industries of our country by co-operating with each other for own good; we must cease shipping at hazard; wo must have system. Uochester, N. Y., April 20.—Tho store manufacturers of this city have shut down, this action being caused by a decision of the National Stove Manufacturers association to send patterns from shops where strikes are in progress to other shops throughout the country. The trouble is caused by the strike in the shops of Bridge & Co., St. Louis. Some of the boycotted patterns refused by the molders elsewhere kave been received, and the manufacturers being obliged to use them shut down, rather than give the men a chance to strike. Tho trouble now extends through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. The best of feeling exists between the men and employes here, so that no formal striko will be inaugurated. Mr. Sexton said he thought, in view of the fact that Mr. Parnell had denied the authenticity of the publication, that Mr. Brodrick in describing as "ParneU's letter" was guilty of a breach of privilege, inasmuch as such designation was tantamount to imputing falsehood to Mr. Parnell. "Come to this convention and give us the results of your calm, thoughtful and progressive judgment." HEBREW MINISTERS I)]bcuh» liellglon In the School* and The speaker said that Mr. Brodrick had not referred to anything that Mr. Parnell had said or done in the house of commons, and therefore his characterization of tho letter did not come within the definition of a breach of privilege. Murrlngo I.awl. Persons who have not strong constitutions, growing girls, young children, and many ladies, are particularly liable to the evil effects produced by the adulterants found in these cheap baking powders. Heartburn and the prevalent forms of indigestion are often traceable solely to their action upon the alimentary organs. Prof. Willard Parker, U. S. Surgeon-General Hammond, Prof. Alonzo Clark, and eminent physicians all over the country, have spoken most earnestly of the evils arising from such food. Nkw Youk, April 20.—The first session of tho Hebrew Ministers' Association of America Dvus held yesterday at the Forty-fourth street synagogue. The Rev. Dr. Gottheil, who presided, made an address in which he said that they had reason for congratulating themselves upon the goodwill and fsllowship which exited between the Jewish ministry of America, both orthodox and advanced. Agnes Willis, 14 years of age, right leg blown off below the knee and limbs badly shattered. She is not expected to live. A SCHOOLBOY'S DEATH Edward Poles, leg and jaw bone broken and otherwise wounded about the head. Not expected to recover. The house then went into committee of tho whole. Mr. Gladstone contended that the chief proposals of the budget were entirely nt variance with sound financial principles. Regarding the incomo tax proposed, he said: "The reduction of a penny to the pound was a peculiar boon, but at tho same time tlie proposal was against every principle of sound financo, because such a reduction should arise from a rigid system of public economy and not be made at the expense of the sinking fund. As to the reduction of tho sinking fund, ho did not think the shrinking of the fund from £7,000,000 to £5,000,000 was war- Said to Have Been Caused by Corporal Punishment. Frank Willis, father of the boy who caused the explosion, severely burned about the head and face. Hyde Park, Mass., April 26.—On Saturday last Thomas Burke, aged 14, a pupil of tho drew school, died at his father's house hero, after a six woeks' illness, with disarrangement of the heart. On his death bed he stated that on his last day at school he had received at the hands of the principal, Franklin H. Deane, a severe beating, at the conclusion of which he could not stand, but took to his bed, which he never afterward left The punishment was inflicted because the boyhad failed to solve an example in arithmetic. The father corroborated his son's story. Mr. Deane, when seen, denied having beaten the boy, and says that he seldom infliotod corporal punishment. The doctor who attended the boy Btated that there might be some doubt as to the cause, although a severe shaking would produce the result. The new marriage law was discussed, and the report of the committee, Dr. A. Wise, was road. He spoke at length upon Che condition of affairs in certain localities in this city, where shopmen and peddlers with no possible authority performod the marriage ceremony. Jesso Jones, one of the experimenters, had his hand broken, and William Turner had his foot blown off. George Willis, aged 6 years, left leg broken. THE PRISCILLA'S DISASTER. An alleged statement of Mr. Bayles, president of the board of health, to the effect that the new law was framed for the benefit of the rabbis aa distinguished from the readers, excited some feeling, and a committee was appointed to call upon Mr. Bayles and inquire ns to its veracity. The Bark IS nelly Damaged by a Dutch The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder are unquestioned. The official reports of the U. S. Government Chemists have put this fact beyond all controversy. Prof. Mott reported that the Royal was undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made. Prof. Love's report i showed it to be of the highest strength, while Prof. McMurtrie, Chemist-in-Chief of the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. C., found the Royal the only baking powder in tho country free from both lime and alum, and absolutely pure. There should be as much care in the choice of a baking powder as to obtain pure milk, or in having a prescription compounded from pure drugs and not from poisons. Pure, wholesome and delicious bread and cake are assured by the use of the Royal Baking Powder. London, April 30.—It is learned that the steamer with which the German bark Prisrilla, Capt. Hild, from Galveston for Bremen, collided was tho Dutch steamer P. Caland, Capt. Boujer, from Rotterdam for New York. The steamer bad her rigging damaged, but proceeded. The Priscilla lost her Jibboom and was rendered very loaky. After reaching Dover in tow, the captain of the Priscilla engaged a tug for £22; to take his vessel to London. Off tho South Foreland, however, the water in her hold was gaining so fast that she was obliged to return to Dover. Steamer. ranted by the excellent financial condition of the country." Lord Randolph Churchill took the same grounds against the proposals that Mr. Gladstone had token and warmly endorsed that gentleman's remarks. It was decided that no steps could be taken till the corporation counsel had given his interpretation to that part of the law determining who shall be empowered to perform the ceremony. The debate was continued at some length, Mr. Goschen delivering a protracted speech in defenco of the principles upon which the proposals were founded and in justification of the proposals, singly and collectively. What the Millers Want. A resolution of regret for the death of Henry Ward Beecher was unanimously passed on a rising vote. Pittsburg, April 26.—The Miners' National assembly, Knights orLabor, will hold its annual convention at Cincinnati on June 8. The executive board now consists of five members elected for a year, and much dissatisfaction with its dealings with local disputes has arisen. It will be proposed at the convention that only three members of tho national board be elected by the national assembly, and that each sub-district elect two members who are to sit on the board in dealing with disputes in their own district. By this means the miners would have some security, that at least two members of the board would be thoroughly acquainted with the details of the disputed question. The budget resolutions were argeed to, the committee rose and the house adjourned. The evening session was held at the Temple Kmanu-El, where addresses were inado by Dr. Benjamin Szold, of Baltimore, and Dr. L. Harrison, of this city. Newburg, April 20.—CornelU A.

The postofflce authorities Uftva made a vigorous search for it. It now turns out that the draft was never in the mail. Dunn Brothers sent Postmaster Harrity a letter in which, after thanking him for his courtesy and attention in the matter, they notified him that the missing letter supposed to have been posted by their clerk April 7, and containing the 175,000 draft had been found in their own office. Postmaster Harrity says that such mistakes or accidents are of frequent occurrence, and often cause the postoffice service to be unjustly blamed. He also says the entire time of five clerlu is taken up in correcting addresses or returning letters to the senders for hotter direction or for proper payment of postage.

Last Sunday. A Deputy Sheriff Probably Fatally Impure food that may not seriously affect the stronger digestive organs of an adult will frequently cause the most serious illness in a child. Too frequently this important fact is overlooked, and children are made sick from eating articles that have been taken by adults without apparent injury. A child's food is largely cakes and bread, and these articles, when light, sweet, and composed of materials free from deleterious substances, are easily digested, nutritious, and wholesome. When these articles are made from pure and wholesome baking powder, they are much more healthful and nutritious than when prepared from yeast, or other leavening agent. But a danger arises from the fact that so many of the baking powders of the market are so impure as to render the food unwholesome. In fact, chemical analysis has developed the fact that all the baking powders now upon the market, with the single exception of the Royal Baking Powder, contain either lime, alum, phosphates, or acids of an injurious character. When bread or cake is made with the use of such adulterated articles, these injurious substances pass into the system, and are the source of very much of the disease with which our children are afflicted. London, April 26.—Sir William Vernoo Harcourt writes flatly denying the statement that the alleged Farnell letter published by Tl'e Times was intercepted in the postofflce wh»u he was home secretary. Hakpeu's Feriiy, April 20.—Bolman heights is the favorite resort of the residents of Harper's Ferry. On Sundays especially a large number of persons, including women and children, congregate on tht hilltop and amuse themselves hunting war relics. The place has been so denuded of all mementoes of the late war that only a few pieces remained. Among these was an old shell imbedded in the side of the mountain. Sunday Jesso Jones and Frank Wallis undertook to find out whether it was loaded. With a long iron rod they opened tho mouth of the shell and soon found that it contained powder. By degrees they loosenod the I'Owder, and while they were taking it out a number of persons congregated about the spot to see the operation. All went well until the friction of the rod coming into contact with tho iron set fire to the powder remaining in the shell. A cry of alarm went up and the crowd turned to flee. Some got out of the way in time, but others were not so fortunate. An explosion that was heaid miles away almost immediately followed the flash. The shell was torn from its resting place and scattered in every direction. So tremendous was the force that several dwellings 100 yards away were almost demolished, large pieces of tho iron going clean through Mr. Pole's house. Of those persons standing in the immediate neighborhood all except six escaped injury, though a number were knocked down. Those struck by pieces of the flying shell were: Wounded, New York, Apiil 26 —Deputy Sheriff John J. McCloskey was probably fatally it jured by Sam'1.

Broderick, Conservative member for Guildtord, in reply to a question from Mr. Sozton, admitted that he had in a recent speech alluded to the facsimile letter published in The Times as "Mr. Parnell's letter," and stated that whenever he might have occasion to refer to it in his speeches he would continue, in the absence of any action in a court of law on tho part of Mr. Farnell, to prove that it was not his letter, to so designate it. It was now popular to allude to it •s "Mr. Parnell's letter," and the justice of the appellation could be safely left to the affirmation of the house or the country.

Uochester, N. Y., April 20.—Tho store manufacturers of this city have shut down, this action being caused by a decision of the National Stove Manufacturers association to send patterns from shops where strikes are in progress to other shops throughout the country. The trouble is caused by the strike in the shops of Bridge & Co., St. Louis. Some of the boycotted patterns refused by the molders elsewhere kave been received, and the manufacturers being obliged to use them shut down, rather than give the men a chance to strike. Tho trouble now extends through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. The best of feeling exists between the men and employes here, so that no formal striko will be inaugurated. Mr. Sexton said he thought, in view of the fact that Mr. Parnell had denied the authenticity of the publication, that Mr. Brodrick in describing as "ParneU's letter" was guilty of a breach of privilege, inasmuch as such designation was tantamount to imputing falsehood to Mr. Parnell. "Come to this convention and give us the results of your calm, thoughtful and progressive judgment." HEBREW MINISTERS I)]bcuh» liellglon In the School* and The speaker said that Mr. Brodrick had not referred to anything that Mr. Parnell had said or done in the house of commons, and therefore his characterization of tho letter did not come within the definition of a breach of privilege.

Mr. Gladstone contended that the chief proposals of the budget were entirely nt variance with sound financial principles. Regarding the incomo tax proposed, he said: "The reduction of a penny to the pound was a peculiar boon, but at tho same time tlie proposal was against every principle of sound financo, because such a reduction should arise from a rigid system of public economy and not be made at the expense of the sinking fund. As to the reduction of tho sinking fund, ho did not think the shrinking of the fund from £7,000,000 to £5,000,000 was war- Said to Have Been Caused by Corporal Punishment.

The Bark IS nelly Damaged by a Dutch The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal Baking Powder are unquestioned. The official reports of the U. S. Government Chemists have put this fact beyond all controversy. Prof. Mott reported that the Royal was undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder made. Prof. Love's report i showed it to be of the highest strength, while Prof. McMurtrie, Chemist-in-Chief of the U. S. Agricultural Department, at Washington, D. C., found the Royal the only baking powder in tho country free from both lime and alum, and absolutely pure. There should be as much care in the choice of a baking powder as to obtain pure milk, or in having a prescription compounded from pure drugs and not from poisons. Pure, wholesome and delicious bread and cake are assured by the use of the Royal Baking Powder. London, April 30.—It is learned that the steamer with which the German bark Prisrilla, Capt.
