The machineiy of the law has not been put to work
too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and
alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of
the people are demanding protection. The legislatures of
New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter
of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders.
It will be in the interest of public health when their sale
is made a misdemeanor in every State in the UNION, and
the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no
article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that
of Baking Powder.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure
cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free
from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It
makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake
that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It costs
more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking
powder. It is superior to every other known and the
standard for forty years.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
tioned.

the bank. I was by this time
otanding bv the cellarway. I
held him at bay with my drawn
revolver until he saw I could not
shoot, when he blazed away twice,
making eight shots fired in all. I
dodged in the cellarway for pro
tection, and with the door partly
open saw the fellow reach behind
tne screen and take all the money
there he could reach, amounting,
as near as I can guess, to 1.200.

LOST HIS I.1FK,

Explorer,
I'akis, Aug. 11. A telegram re
ceived in 1'aris fiom Brazzaville,
in the French Congo country, seals
the late of the t'aul Crampel ex
pedition, and places the young
explorer among the martyrs of
science a'nd exploration. This
telegram, dated July 17th, says
that Crampel was assassinated on
April Oth, with Mohammed lien
said, the Arab interpreter, and
two Senegal skirmishers, in the
wilderness toward Haghirmi.
Crampel left Franco a ' year ago
last inarch with the hope of open
ing up the way from the Congo to
Lake Tchad across the unknown
country to the rich lands of llag-
lurmi, Corno and bokota.
Cramiiel, who was less than .'!0
years of age at the time ol his
death, first went to French Congo
in 1S88 as secretary to le urazza.
The following year he obtained
authority to explore all the region
lying between Lastourville on the
Ogowe, and the rivers Benito and
Cauipo, a district completely un
known and witli which it was
iinKrtaiit for Fienchmen to be
better acquainted. ii August i,
1S.SS, his little company, in which
he was the only Kur p -an, led
l.afloiu ville aii'l penetrated into
the country of the piguii-s. Then
having reached the northern
boundary of the French poines
riiond he turned toward the coast.
During this expedition for a diplo
matic reason he accepted a nine-year-old
daughter ol a powerful
I'aliouiu chief as a pre.-ent. and
i his girl accompanied him later to
France and afterward on ids ill
fated expedition. The march
toward the coast through the for
est and across the marshes and
amidst hostile peoples was one of
great suffering and piivation, but
linaliy bearing with htm volumin
ous notes and collections, be
emerged at tin? Fien -h po-t. Al
though bis lust expedition has r-o
sadly failed its results are not un
iniortitnt, and Ids previon 4 career
is such as to give him his ou t,

Scarcely a doubt the non-arrival

Alexis was entirely due to his dis
inclination to be the recipient of
the enthusiastic welcome the citi
zens of I'aris had prepared for
him. The crowd learned that he
would not arrive vesterdav, but
they did not learn when be would
reach laris, and consequently
when the train rolled into the
station this morning no one was
present, officially or unofficial', to
receive him. As he reached the
platform be was recognized by a
crowd of at least 1000 perjoi.s.
The greeting they gaye the grand

NEWS CONFIRMED
The Steamship City of Panama
Was Detained.
9TAKTED WITHOUT FIR1IIT
Ttat Was the Excuse for Stopping Eer
- The Real Cams Wat That 8ame
Refugees Were oi Board
Ni:w loRK, Aug. ll.-T-The re
port that bus come up from San
Salvador that the Pacific Mail
steamship City of Panama has
been detained by the authories of
San Salvador at La Libert ad was
confirmed last night by Superin
tendent H. J. Bulley, of the Paci
fic Mail company. "We received
a dispatch this merning from
Captain White of tha City of Pan
ama, said Mr. JJullay, "which
gives us vary meager information,
nd has evidently been through
the hands of the San Salvador
authorities. We gather from the
dispatch, however, that there
were some political refugees
aboard the City of Panama, either
citizens oj Guatemala or San Sal
vador, whom the San Salvador
government wanted to get hold of.
1 he Citv of Panama left I -a Union
ou August i without the regular
permit of clearance papers. Capt
White had waited long after the
allotted time foi his papers, and
so be started oil' without them, as
is often d .ne in special cases and
iu case of stress of weather and the
like. Our steamships cannot
alford to be delayed at one of the
Central American ports over time.
e have a contract with these
Central Ameiican republics to car
ry their mails, and if our ships are
held iu one place the other coun
tries sutler. hen Captain White
cot to La Liberlad.anotberdemand
was made for the refugeos, appar
ently, and then the vessel was
s-.-ized. Whether it was on ac
count of the failure to give up the
refugees or on account of Captain
White's leaving La Union witnout
a permit, does not appear. At
last accounts the United States
war vessel H mger was at La Lib
ertad, and, altluugh she is not a
dangerous craft, 1 think she will
suswer the purpose in the case of
the San JSalvadoriana if necessary.
We will probably have more deli
nite intormation fiom Captain
White in a day or two."

Mare From an Invasion.
London, Aug. 11. The Swiss
government has nearly completed
the work of fortifying Mount St.

possible for a hostile force to de

secure against invasion at a point
which has heretofore been vulner
able, and an army endeavoring tc
pass through the gaps of the
mounts would lie exposed to an
exterminating fire.

"The reform, as I understand
it is more particularly for profess
ional and business women, but
they are by no means heedless of
fashion. But the fact remains that
our dress naturally and by the pre
vailing styles hampers us. We
all know that our own girls'
waists are too long and too small."
" Would you do away with cor
sets to make a beginning of the
reform?"
"Oh, no; that could never be
with the present fasiaon-makera.
Why, the leading dressmakers
will not make a garment for a cus
tomer unless she wears a corset,
and they dictate just the kind of a
corset abe shall wear, too. . If .
these women reformers propose
a sort of embroidered bathing"
suit for a walking dress well, all
I can say is that I have eeen some
very pretty bathing suits."
