• The N *. Y *> Journal some time
Biuoe published an intcrostimr reuart, im™
the subject of baking powders, in widoh h
gave the results of some tests if an olabo
rate character made for the purpose of d°.
terminniK the question of which is tho bes-
and wholesomest of these aniclcs The
analysis and tests required were under/*
ken by Professors W. 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. I give this as an illustration
of those baking powders whose keepin„
qualities are sacrificed to present strengt .
How to get both strength and keeping
quality is the secret of baking powder su - t
^“Doctor, what about ammonia in baking
powder?” „ . -
“Sesqui-carbonate of ammonia is some
times used in the higher class of 'a- fc.
powders.”
“Is it injurious or objectionable;
“Nonsense! Quito the contrary. It ha
been used for generations in the i n st
food. It is a very volatile agent;. Huac

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. I
doubted if the purse had enough to pay for

lied. I could plainly see two or three $10

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.

Following is an interesting* Jotter from
one .* .u managers of the Western Union
Telegraph Company:
Bloomington, Ind., January 12,18*8(5 —
J have been in the telegraph business for
m ore than twenty years, and for the past I
live yours have been Doubled with vvli.it is
called writers’ cramp or telegraphers’ par- |
aiysis. 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. W. S. Cassell.
