These powder are put up for the grocer and hi name put upon tba label by manufacturers of alum pow der. The manufacturers, it 1 (aid. find their effort to market their goods in this way greatly aided by the ambi tion of the grocer, to sen a powder with i own name upon tbe label, especially when tne grocer can make an abnormal profit upon it, Many grocer, doubtless, do not know tbat the powders they are thus pushing are alum powder which would be act- uallv contra brand in many section 11 old without disguise. It I quite Impossible to give tha name of all tbe alum baking powder in tba market. They are constantly appearing in all aorta of disguli under all kinds of eomomen. and at all kind of prices, even as low as five and 10 cent a pound. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all ;baking powder sold at 25 cents or less per pound are liable to contain alum, as pure cream of tartar baking powders cannot be produced at anything lute this price. - RULERS FALL OF PRETORIA Boers Give Up Without, a Straggle. LORD ROBERTS READY TO FIGHT Civilians Came Oat With a Flag of Truce General Botha Boa Kacnpod. ' London, June 7. Tbe war office ha received the following from Lord Roberts: "Pretoria, June 6. Just before dark yesterday the enemy were beaten back from nearly all tbe positions they had been holding, and Ian Hamilton's mounted infantry followed them f to within 2,000 yard of Pretoria, tbiough which they retreated hastily. De Lisle then sent an officer with a flag of truce into the town, demanding it surrender in my name. "Shortly before midnight wa awakened by two official of tba South African republic. Sand berg, minister to Commandant Botha, and a general offi cer of the Boer army, who brought me a letter from Botha proposing an armistice for tbe purpose of tattling tbe term of surrender. "I replied tbat I would gladly meet the commandant-general tbe next morning, but tbat 1 wa not prepared to discus any term, a tbe ramniler of the town must be unconditional. I asked for a reply by daybreak, a I had ordered tbe troop to march on the town a toon a it wa light. "In hi reply, Bobta told me he had decided not to defend Pretoria, and he trusted the women, children and prop erty would be protected. At 1 A. M. today, whila In line oi march, I wa met by three of tha prin cipal official with a flag of truce, atat- ing their wish to surrender tha town. It was arranged that Pretoria should be aken poises sion of by hef majesty' troops at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Botha and Mrs. Kroger are both ia Pretoria. Some of the British prisoners have been taken away," but the majorty are still at Waterval. Over 100 of the officer are in Pretoria. Ihe few I have teen are looking wall." WAR IS NOW ON. BURIAL OF SPANISH Walro Hearing Tlea Tain. Tien Tsin, June 6. The Boxer ara reported four mile off, and an attack ia expected. Everything is ready, and the residents are confident. Thirty five German missionaries arrived here this evening. Three Belgian engineer bave arrived. The French consul say 11 are missing, but there ara hopes ol saving thenu Gomes In Havana.

On reaching the palaoa Gomel stood up in his carriage and sa luted General Wood, who wa on tha balcony. Coromoalat Cnstean Prescribed for Boyel Ob.ao.nlcs. Strange and almost weird is the cere monial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or royal tomb, is at the palace of Escurial, situated 8,000 leet above the level of the tea and some distance from the capital. Only kings, queen and moth er of kings are buried there, the coffins of the king lying on one side, and those of the queens on tbe other. After lying in state for several days is the throne room in Madrid, says the San Francisco Argonaut, an enormous procession is formed accompanying the body to the Escurial. A halt Is made on the way and tbe corpse rests there for one night. In the morning the lord high chambei lain stand at the aide of the coffin and say in loud tones: "I your majesty pleased to proceed on your journey?' After a abort ulence the procession moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These door are never opened except to admit a royal personage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the remains is at last placed in the vault the chamberlain unlocks it and, kneeling down, cans with a loud voice: "Senorl Senorl Senor I" A Iter a solemn pause he cries again: "His majesty doe not reply. Then it i true the king i dead!'1 He then look the coffin, give the key to the prior (the palaoe of the Lsourial contains also a large monastry and the church) and, taking bis staff of office, break it in pieces and flings them at the casket. Tbe booming of guns and the tolling of bells announce to the nation that the king has fione to hi final resting plaeo. SaTlnc Oneaeir by ferTlco. A man waa traveling over an Alpine pass. He went over the glaciers, sink rhg in the snow step by step, upward, until he was aweatv. High on the summit of the pass a desire to sleep overcame him. He could hardly put one foot before another. Just a he wa almost sinking down into the sleep whioh would have proved the sleep of death to him, he struck Mb foot against an obstaole which proved to be the body of a tiaveler who had preceded him. He bent down, found that the heart had not ceased to beat and began at once to rub the frozen limbs and to do his best to reanimate the body. In his effort he was successful. He saved the man's life; and, in the effort, he banished his own desire to sleep and so saved hi own life in saving another. Herald and Presbyter. Admiral KempaT Baports That righting , Baa Commenced. i Washington, June 7. The secretary of the navy received the following cablegram from Admiral Kempff, com manding tbe Newark, lying at Taku forts at the mouth of tbe Pei Ho river, dated Taku, June 7: "Engagement ha commenced. Have landed a force of 60 seamen more . . . battalion of marines. "KEMPFF." The break in the admiral's cable gram ia caused by an illegible group of figures. Regarded in on light, it would seem that the Newark has land ed 60 sailor to reinforce tha marine already ashore, and in another respect the gap might be read to state that oil sailors had been landed with another battalion ot marines. However tbat may be, the admiral' new is regarded a of the utmost gravity. secretary Long has cabled him to send hi mes sages hereafter in plain English, in order to avoid further misunderstand ings and delays in transmitting the cipher.

The house jntered the throes of dissolution today, and all day and all evening the ga leries were crowded. The picturesque incidents were few. Partisan passion running high in the face of the impend ing presidential campaign , broke out Beveral times during the afternoon, and hot wordii were bandied across the political aisle. Hull (Rep. Ia. ) and Lenta (Dem. O.) crossed words,, and later Grosvenor (Rep. O.) and Gaines (Dem. Tenn.) had a lively encounter. Throughout the day at every opportu nity there was a play for, political ad vantage, and taunt and challenge . Were bandied back and forth. But all thi was merely incidental to the work of crowding through the big supply bills which had tbe right of way. During the interim between the consideration of conference reports, members clam ored like madmen in the Wheat pit on a panic day for recognition of private bills, upon whioh their , political sal vation might depend. ' At the night session tha galleries were thronged with gaily . arrayed women, and the floor wa a veritable bedlam. Hour after hour tha con feree struggled on with their report, the speaker, firm and reaolute, (tearing the house through the turmoil and con tusion. Toward midnight the galleries thinned out, but the tired legislators, with tha prospects of an all sight, ses sion ahead, remained In their plaoes, getting what comfort they could from the knowledge that tomorrow tha end would come.
