G. Tucker of t-H. il bany Medical College, and W.P.’ Masomof the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’of Troy chemists p the highest standing in< reputation, well known for their extended and valuable services as public analysts Messrs. Tucker arid Mason, the Journa stated, bad been directed to procure from dealers m Albany and Troy packages m' baking powder, to analyze'and critically e.ainine them, and to make their re ports of facts found entirely without bias or favor. The report proved a matter of interest and importance, and was widely oouied and commented upon. From the facts presented housekeepers had no difficulty in determining for them selvas the best and most wholesome baking powder to use The Journal, its facts having been uu s- tioned by a local baking powder manu facturer. returns to the subject and pub- Indies the following interesting interview with Prof. Tucker The facts before stated are reaffirmed and emphasized in the must breezy manner: A Journal reporter recently visited Prof. Tucker for the purp iso of gaining further inform ition in reference to the bakin^ powder question. He was found in the extensive laboratory of the medical col lege, bard at work, but good-naturedly sub mitted to an Inquisitorial interview the substance of which, here given, will be found of interest. “Doctor,” said the reporter, “it appears that one of our local baking powder man ufacturers attempts to discredit the report some time ago published in the Journal with reference to baking powders, for which the analytical examinations were m ule by yourself and Prof. Mason. Were your analysis and opinion printed correct ly?” “They were,” replied Prof. Tucker, “lit erally.” “Is there any part of the report, nr of your views expressed therein, that vou would modify?” “Not a word. My examination wa, most carefully and accurately made; the deductions 1 drew from the tests were the inevitable ones, and the opinions I ex pressed were unquestionably correct.” “You say, doctor, that the Royal baking powder is superior to any other baking powder which you have examined?” “That is my report.” “Have you examined many other baking powders?” “Quite a number.” “Wherein, doctor, consists this superior ity which you Hud in the Royal over other brands?” “As stated in my report,, in the greut purity of its ingredients, in the unques tioned propriety and wholesomencss of those ingredients, in the exact proportions of the same, and t he chemical accuracy and skill with which they have been com- billed. As I said before, it is, I believe, a baking powder ‘unequalcd for purity, ■strength and wholesoinenesa.’ ” “Doctor, the Journal's lady readers would liko yon to inform them what are the peculiar virtues of a good b iking pow- <lcr over other and more old-fashioned methods of raising bread, biscuit and cake?” “That would require a long answer, something in the nature of a lecture. Brief ly, however, the advantage of such a b .king powder over yeast consists in the "quicker work it accomplishes, in the pre servation of some of the best elements of the flour which arc destroyed in the pro Auction of the carbonic acid gas by tiie use ofveast. and in the absolute certainty of sweet, light and digestible food. Ovcroth- ei* methods for quick raising, the merits of a pure bakiug powder are great. It is al ways ready for use, the acid and alkali are j combined in exact proportions to produce ■Aallnite results, or to render the largest I ■amount of leavening mis and leave nothing J more than a neutral residuum, which is | not the result where cream of tartar and ■ •soda are bought separately and mixed in the kitchen, for it will always occur where I tiiis is done that one or the other of these ; substances will predominate, making the i food yellow, heavy, bitter and unwhole some.' Besides, the cream of tartar which | can be procured by the housekeeper is I mostly adulterated, adding to the uncer- | tainty of the results or the unwholcsome- ness of the food. All these difficulties are I avoided in the lisa of a pure, properly- | made baking powder.” I “Will baking powders keep? How long will they hold their strength?” “If uroperly made, until used. A perfect | baking powder must combine, superlative i strength with power to retain it indell- nitely. Baking powders generally are robbed of the necessary preserving agent : in order to give present strength, or else have their efficiency largely destroyed by j . the addition of large quantities ot flour to prevent premature decomposition, j The method by which bo h these qualities , are retained in tiie highest degree pro duces the perfect article, and this I believe j is fully accomplished in the Uoy.il baking powder. I have seen an analysis of a bak ing powder which showed 21 per cent, ot Rochelle salts. The baking powder was not fresh, and because ol the impropei j maimer in which it had been made t.ie in gre 'dents had combined, form 1? the pur gative salt.

Consol, I To GETTING ON SWIMMINGLY. r ('miqdimriii mill Ilmli-pH K , THE FIRST ALARM. About 1 o’clock last ni *hr, Mr. Monroe J oiinam came to the house of D. H. !<>ke\v and waked him up, sayin *’ that Mr. W. P. V Anders, betLjr known as Frank Sun ders, had com-* to his bouse, saying that the hou*e of Mr. John G. Swilling was on - - , a lire, and that the whole family, consisting ! m °vt-d toward the entran of himself, wife and three children, aged * u — , “ r'spectivelv 0. 4 and l.J years, had perish- c:l in the names. Sanders hud o.. only his pants and shirt. He borrowed shoes, coil and hat from Popham. Popliam and rtskcvv started out at once, and met San ders near by. Eukew asked if the news was true. _ He said it was. They Went to the burl ing. When they arrived there they found Mr. Gearge Swilling, a brother of John, and Mr. R. D. Popham. Tilt house had all fallen in except four or five logs a' the back end. A short time Ilf,cr they arrived there, they sa v. in the midst of the burning, the bones of John S .vili- ing, wife and baby, lying side bv side, as they laid down the night before, in fancied security. They sought a position ai nc ir as poasiblc to the bodies. Their heads were turned toward them, and they were horrified to see the distinct MARKS OF AN AX ON THE SKULL of the man and woman, a blow that shat tered the bone, and of course, produced instant death. Wc looked a litte further on and found the charred bones of the two Dttle hoys, where they had slept in their low trundle bed. So far ius we could tell the ax had done its fearful work there too. Tiie blow on Swilling’s head was on the left side above the ear: that on the wife on the top of the head. The huBband lay vv th one leg extended out from the bed, a ghastly witness of the one effort to defend the wife and little ones. An oil cun. with tbs top ofF, lay across the body of the woman. They then went to work to put out the Are, and in this were only partially s lccessful, but they kept the bodies from being entirely consumed. Suspicion at o ice pointed to SANDERS AS THE MURDERER. He was convicted of a misdemeanor at the October term of Franklin county supe rior court, and a fine had been imposed. Swilling had paid it and brought Sanders homo with him to work out the amount in his service. Sanders was sleeping in the same house. He had escaped at an early hour in the morning. A bailiff was sent without a warrant to hunt for Sanders. Ho found him about 8 o’clock some two miles from the place, making his way off under the pretense of carrying the news to the relative^ of the deceased. A message was sent for the coroner,who arrived about 11 o’clock and went to work at once to empanel a jury. lie sent for Dr. J. D. Ketcherside, of Martin. The inquest was organized at once, and the facts above stated wore put in evidence. Dr. Kether- side testified that the remains were too far consumed for nlm to say what violence had been done. An ax was found inside of the house, and the doctor pointed out tiie in irks of biood on the surface which his skilled eyes detected. He thought, the fact that they were all found lying in their beds was proof that they must have been KILLED BEFORE THE HOUSE WAS FIRED. The verdict, of the jury charged Sunders with t lit; murder. He was commi.ied to jail by i>. B. Eskovv. Tim defendant had told several conflicting stories, denying his guilt, but finally admitted the crime. He stated that Swilling had started to strike him with a piece of plank, and he had used the axe in self-defense. Mrs. Swilling had started to strike him with a chair, and be struck her down, and laid ber on the bod by the side of her hus band, who had fallen on it when he was struck. He denied striking the children, but admitted setting fire to the house. A demonstration was made to LYNCH lint ON THE SPOT, but when Sheriff McConnell started ofl, ho v-ked if any one would volunteer to go with him to see the prisoner put in jail. One man said that lie would if lie hn-.l a horse. The sheriff started off without a ,.-u u'd, and forty or fifty men followed at a little distance. If Sanders is found hang ing to a limb in the morning it will sur prise no one. A woman living in the yard testified that she was at her house, and healing the screntil of a child, she looked out and found Swilling’s house in a blaze. Sanders has a bad reputation, and the story coming after him from South Caro lina is still worse. The motive for tin; diabolical act probably lay in revenge against his master for some treatment that hi had received during his term of service. There is no doubt that he murdered nil five in their sleep and fired the house to bide his crime. "Tlic young man saw it just as I did, ami with a sigh of relief took the proffered pnvketbook, but not without u gentle pres sure on the hand that so thougntfully and delicately had tendered its offering.

Pivlty Girl i,nl Her l.nrer In Nick iff Time. “I saw an amusing incident the other evening,” said the treasurer of a Chicago theatre to a H'.ra’d reporter, ‘and one that revealed a woman' ' ' before the curtain Washington, December 17.—Here in a pretty kettle of fish. The secretary of war, in a communication to congress, says that bis department is getting on swimmingly ; tnat everybody therein has plenty oi Work to do and performs it, and intimates that nobody else in this country is capable of administering his establishment except himself and his subordinates. The follow ing is a sentence from the letter: "The 1*011101*111 of any individual and the appoint ment of others in their stead is not required for the better dispatch of business.” From which we are to argue that our secretary of war thinks there ought to be a life icuure of office in this country ami a privileged class, irresponsible to the people, und inde pendent of everybody. Old-fashioned peo ple, who think that the methods of An drew Jackson are good enough for his successors, will not view with complacency the expression of opinion by Mr. Eudicolt, who has turned a deaf ear to the voice of the people as it resounded from ocean to ocean in 1881. Mr. F.ndicott ought to know, if he does not, that he is sheltering the same old lay out who brought reproach upon our civil service iu the time of Grant. His recent report shows that the extravagance of which the people have complained for years has in great measure been reformed in all the departments except his. He can only boast that he has retained in place and power the men who voted against the party to which he claims to belong, and the chief who appointed him to his pres ent position. Not only is this bad politics, but it is base ingratitude. If the demo cratic party had been defeated in 1884 Mr. Endicott would not have been heard of outside of Massachusetts, where the presi dent ought to have permitted him to re main and dream of the ancestors who burned witches and hung Quakers. Mr. Cleveland isagood enough democrat if loft to himself. He was unfortunate in the se lection of his cabinet. There is far more mugwampery in the war department, in the interior department, in tile postofilce department, than there is in tne white house. It took a quarter of a century to put a democrat in the white house, and the heroic old party will never cease its struggles until it puts democrats in all its cabinet positions—democrats who will •kick tin; rascals out, and map the bonds of mugwumpery as Samson broke the cords with which he was bound before lie gave Delilah his whole heart.

At times my arm became so weak i that I could not use it ill sending dispatch- j c*s, and had to use my left. Have spent I many restless nignts, the pain reucldng j from my hand up into my shoulder. Tried j everything I could hear of, but with scarce ly any relief. Having strained my left side a few weeks ago,I got one of Allcock’s piasters, as 1 usually do in such cases, and accidentally happened to see where sonic one had cured a weak wrist by using one of these plasters. I got another at once and cut it in two and put one-half around my wrist. In less than two days after the pain had entirely left any wrist and arm, and in two weeks I could send nearly as vv nil as ever. 1 write this hoping it will reach the eyes of others who may be af flicted as i ivuh, as 1 know there are scores of them.
