They Allow A Woman to Talk Them Out of $500 Each. New York, March 31. A sharp featured woman about 45 years old with a sallow complexion and black hair, was arranged in police court today charged with swindling two men out of $1,000 by representing that her iufluence would secure them snug births under President Cleve land. Her name is Mrs. Lizzie Bid dy. Just aftfr the election Mrs. Baldy opened an office at 834 Broad way and advertised herself as a broker iu government offices. Many flies swarmed to her web, aud among them were Charles Bodel of this city and Frank Loweiy of We hawken. To them she said that she had influence with President Clev land that could easily secure them the juiciest plums in the treasury de partment, and it was "first ooiue.lirst served." The alacrity with which each contributed $500 cash must have surprised the woman. Nor were they the only victims 'of her seductive promises, for the police records show many other similar complaints. However the Broadway office was closed long before the inaugurttion No trace of her was found for some time, but a few days ago an adver tisement in Baltimore induced the detectives to go there aud they easi- iv fnnn.l lior 'J un An exchange says: A mau aad woman are going over the stile working an old scheme. They 6trke a town, secure a license, and bunt up a preacher who is requested to marry them. After the ceremcny the stranger hands the minister a $20 bill, requesting him to take bis payout. Afterward the minis;er learns that he has changed a coun terfeit $20 bill. FOR BUSINESS ilii Farmers Bank, have now -0-. A MATTER OF HEALTH. St Loois Authorities Examining the Making Powders. Investigation made by the Health Commissioner and City Chemist The Prevnlitnre of AInm Powders and the Danger from their Use. ' St. Loois Globe Democrat. At the request of Health Commis sioner Brennau, the city chemist has collected samples of the various baking powders sold in St. Louis and subjected them to analysis for the purpose of obtaining for thepublic benefit information as to their com position and character whether wholesome or otherwise. Owing to the fact that alum bak ing powders are produced ,at a coat of less than four cents a pound, while in appearance they are hardly distinguishable from a pure cream of tartar powder costing from eight to ten times as much to manufac ture, there have been, many of them put upon the market, and great ef forts made to substitute them for the more wholesome cream of 'tartar compounds. Of course, such powders afford wide margins ol profits to both the manufacturers and dealers and it is not unusual to fiud them for this reason recommended and urged up on customers who would not, know ing their true character, use them uuder any considerations. City Chemist Sullivan' report shows one pure cream of tartar powder only (Royal;) one cream of tartar powder containing free tar taric acid: one phosDhate poweder M. & containing sulphate of lime, and that all the other brands are made from alum. The samples ranged in strength from 13.47 per cent of leav ening (carbonic acid) gas found in the tfoyal, to 6 08 fouud m an alum powder. The general usefulness of a bak ing powder depends largely upou the quantity of leavening ga it gives on. A. powder containing thirteen per cent of gas will go more than twice as far that is one pound of such powder will raise mnr than t . , - - twice as much flour as one that evolves but six per cent. The econ omy shown, however, is not the greatest consideration. The low strength powders leave a large resi- dum iu the iood, which, being of alum in its various forms renders the food positively unwholesome. Upon this point, and in describ ing the character of the baking pow der found of highest strength, the city chemist says: "A high leaven ing power is requisite. Pure ingre dients in proper combination quick en and increase the production of carbonic acid gas. In this the Roy al excels all others. It is the high est in strength, in fabrique a fault less arrangements of agents, pure and wholesome, free from adultera tion with lime, ammonia or alum." The result of these tests will be read with interest and will prove of great benefit to housekeepers by en abling them to distinguish the pure from the numerous impure and un wholesome powders "found in the market.

WorU, A steamship has touched at Hali fax, put ashore 470 immigrants, two of whom have cholera, and proceed ed to New York. The ship is infected and will be de- tamed at quarantine, of course. But how about the 470 infected steerage vtn . A. 1. a T" " l passengers put ashore at L liTax? They are all bound for places iu the United States. Have adequate nieaus been devised to preveut them from crossing the border with their plague tainted belonging Is it certain that all of them will be held in check until their presence shall cease to be dangerous. ObvioHsly it is the plan of the Steamship companies and eniigra tion agents to evade our sanitary picket guard by lauding their emi- gants in Canada. It will be difficult for us to guard our long northern border effectively against this dau ger. It will be impossible without the hearty co-operation of the Cana diau authorities. The sooner we tike measures to secure such co operation the better. The season has already come wheu every com pany of emigrants from Europe must be regarded with suspicion. Quarantine is at best an insecure reliance. With this new threat from a border especially difficult to guard, it would be folly to count upon keeping the cholera out of the country, to the extent of neglectiog any preparations for its coming. It is our present duty to be clean. That duty rests upon the municipal authorities of every city and town and upon every individual. If it is well done, the cholera, even should it appear among us, will cot be a scourge to be especially dreaded. Its ravages will be small if it finds our houses in order. A (j'immI SafTiaiitHn Rewarded Pittsburg, Pa., March 31. As a reward for giving a tramp a meal ard helping him on his way, C. L. Km sing, of the Home Dressed Beef Co., south twenty-second street, has fal len heir to $12,000. A year ago Krissing, while waiking down Cat son street, was accosted by a stran ger who told a harrowing bad luck story. Krissiug was on his way to a restaurunf, and taking the man with him bought him a meal. The We are almost NEW SPRING GOODS, Greater bargains than ever before ottered in 3ED3T3r (GroodLs.

Krissing received word from a firm of law yers in Kittanning, stating that the stranger he had helped died and left him $12,000 he had come into possession of few weeks before his death. A singular part of the story is that another C. L. Krissing, living at Lsckhiven, Pa., has put in a claim for the money. K.C. Times. It is reported that the Montana authorities have under arrest the supposed murderer of the. late John Ci Clayton of Arkansas. As is well known Clayton was assassinated three years ago while conducting a canvass for congress against Ciifton R. Breckinridge. Although Mr. Breckinridge is out of the most hon orable and ablest democrats in the south, aud although there was no evidence by which the murder could be attributed to the politics of his canvass, he was made the object of the most cruel attacks. It was all but charged that he committed the crime. Iu an utterly unjustifiable partisan spirit the majority of the congressional committee which investigated the crime refused him the privilege of submitting the evidence he had obtained, and every effort was made to cast ob!o quy upon his uame. The people of his district have twice shown their belief iu Mr. Breckiniidge by return ing him to congress, and in the bight of honest men his character is unsullied. The Montaua report therefore is welcome, and it is to be hoped that the needed verification will be forthcoming. Stole Ratlif r Than Be. Nevada, Mo..
