! Interviewed Concerning Murder, Weal
! thy Ulinoisan Ended His Own Life.
Savanna, 111., May 26. Bothwell Pul
' ford, reputed to be the wealthiest citi
j zen of Savanna, committed suicide yes
terday, a few moments after being ques
i t toned regarding the whereabouts of a
j revolver with which be was suspected
of having slain Attorney Daniel S. Ber
ry, former leading member of tne Illi
nois legislature.
Pulford had denied any knowledge of
the killing of Berry, but became agitat
ed when questioned concerning the re
volver. The story has been widely cir
culated that Berry was killed as a
result of attention paid by him to a
married woman.
Pulford, on arriving at his store yes
terday, found a newspaper man waiting
for him with queries as to the revolver.
As soon as the interviewer had left,
Pulford hurried home and, going to the
hayloft of his barn, shot himself dead.
At the Bound of the revolver, Mrs.
Pulford became hysterical. When the
neighbors reached the house she was
i wailing, frantically, her two daughters
at ner side.
For two months Pulford has shown
signs of mental strain. When Berry
was killed in Pulford's opera house last
Monday, and the authorities began to
question Pulford, it was evident to
those who knew him best that Pulford's
mind was riving way.
Mrs, Pulford, after the suicide, kept
iterating wildlv: "I knew he'd do it.
I knew he'd do it."
Pulford's death ends the life of the
man who rose from a poor boy to the
position of one of the wealthiest men
in this section of Illinois. A tireless
worker, he accumulated money fast
and, besides owning much of the most
valuable real estate of Savanna, he was

terday's Play.
Brunswick, Me., May 20. The Uni
versity of Vermont-Bowdoin College
tennis tournament began yesterday.
The contestants are Stanley Williams,
Paul Laidley, H. O. Tobey and C. J.
Greene for Bowdoin, and F. II. Pease, L.
H. Hulet, 11. J. Partridge and George
Klrkpatrick for Vermont." It is a
round robin tournament, where each
Bowdo'm player plays each Vermont
man.
A STEADY INCREASE. -
The figures of the board oX assesors,
although they are necessarily imperfect
at this time, indicate that the city of
P.arre has been maintaining during the
past year the same steady ratio of in
crease in property appraisal as in the
past decade or so, with the consequent
increase in the grand list. As near as
can be ascertained the figures of the
latter are nearly $43,000, showing a
gain in the year of about $1,800. Since
1893, when the city was separated from
the town of Barre, the grand list of
the former has all but doubled. At
that time it was h-ss than $25,000 Few
cities or towns, unless they be the so
called "boom" communities, are able to
present a better showing than that;
and Barre is not one of the "boom"
cities, in spite of the rapid growth. The
increase is a natural one, not natural,
perhaps, as slow-moving Vermont is
accustomed to entertain, but commen
surate with the development of a staple,
substantial industry, in which the de
mand for the product invites prosperity
stnd progress. The advance of the gran
ite industry brings more and more mon
ey into the community, and this money,
or a considerable portion of it, finds
its way eventually into building work
business blocks, cottage houses, new
manufacturing plants and various allied
tilings. The assessors find that during
the past year the valuation of real es
tate has increased nearly two hundred
thousand dollars, and a large part of
this is represented by new buildings.
And, too, other property is taking to
itself increased value through the in
tangible but nevertheless growing force,
which is represented by the unearned
increment.
Xhe prospects are that there will be
a constant and appreciable increase from
year to year. . '

Selling Adulterated Cream of Tartar.
A. B. Ryan was fined $23 by Judge
Adams in the Boston police court for
sellinii impure cream of tartar. The
stuff was put up in packages and marked
'pure. State Analyst liVtngoe found
that it contained calciuin sulphate, cal
cium acid phosphate and other matter.
The analyst stated that while calcium
acid phosphate mixed with soda would
give otf some leavening gas, and thereby
mislead the user, the other ingredients
were simply makeweights. Calcium sul
phate is ground gypsum, which is plas
ter of Paris. Ryan had been disposing
of this mixture for cream of tartar a
long while, and had been lined once be
fore for the same offense.
A peat deal of this kind of material
is sold throughout Aew England under
the name of cream of tartar, which it
resembles so closely in appearance as
to deceive any one who cannot analyze
it. Housekeepers use it with soda to
raise biscuit, cake, etc., in ignorance of
the fact that it carries to the . food
a substance unfit for the stomach, plas
ter of Paris, and that its leavening
property is very slight.
We are told that there is but little
pure cream of tartar sold at the shops.
It is safer, as well as more economical,
for the housewife to procure a reputable
cream of tartar baking powder for rais
ing her biscuit and cake, as the olticial
analyses show that the ingredients used
in them are chemically pure,
