FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and of highest raising power. SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum. These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out, and the consumer:; are giving them a wide birth. Nothing i-, left to chance in the manufacture of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence; its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS the CHEAPEST. 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 questioned.

Iajnuon, Aug. 22. The Etoriesof misery received from Russia are almost incredible. In Bessarabia parents are actually offering their children for sale in order to buy food, and dealers at Constanti nople, hearing of this, have pur chased through agents in the Russian villages a considerable number of female children. Many deaths have been caused through famine, and families may be found actually perishing from hunger, and huddling together in their common misery. The government authorities be ing now aroused, are exerting themselves with energy aad the distribution of relief is going on as rapidly as possible. When a quan tity of grain reached Marinpol, in the province of Yekaterinosia, on Tuesday, the people were weak with want. Tney gathered near ha place of distribution, present .ng a pitiful spectacle with their wan faces and watted forms. A force of police were presented to preserve ordsr, but instead the police bad, in several cases, to keep the applicants from falliug through sheer hunger and weak ness. Nor is misery confined to the lowest class. Among the applicants at Marin pol are noblemen and tradesmen, the latter ruined in business through loss of custom on account of famine, and the former deprived of the margin between their debts and their income, on which they had depended. The prohibition of the export of rye was none too soon if the more frightful results of famine were to be avoided. GOLD COMING U EKE, France la Saving Her Uold to Buy Wheat of America. Paris, Aug. 22. The Bank of France is trying to keep gold enough to meat purchases of Amer ican wheat. The governor, in an intei view, estimated the pavment for wheat at 20,000,000. But he argues that such a scarcity of gold has frequently happened, and may endure, but the public has no cause foi fear. It is stated by another bank offi cer that the premium on gold was caused by money changers who had learned that the bank was holding gold, and who collected all the metal they cjuld at small pre mium, hoping to ictp a profit when the wheat arrived. Killed by tho Cars. Patterson, N. J., Aug. 22.

DEATH IN THE FLAMES A Frightful Holscaust in New York Citj. A BUILDING BLOWN TO ATOMS. Tho Explosion Buried Many la tho BqIdi of tho Dltaster Removing thi BodUi. New York, Aug. 22.-At 12:30 o'clock this afternoon, an explo sioa occurred in the five-story building, 03 and 70 Park Place, occupied by John C. Eberle, man ufacturers of mats. The explosion was immediately followed by fire, and in a few minutes the building collapsed. The fire spread to the adjoining buildings. At the time the explo sion occurred, many, who work in the building, were at lunch. It was estimated that more than 140 boys, girls, men and women were in the building at the time. Those who saw the catastrophe say the earth trembled when the explo sion occurred, and tae lire was in the street in a couple of seconds. Dust from the wreck rose in such clouds that for at least three min utes nothing could be seen of what was left standing. At 1 o'clock the fire was under control. Half of the Greenwich street building was then burned, while the Xaylor building was a complete wreck. The losses are computed at $159,000 for the Tay lor building and S40.000 lor the Greenwich-street building. As to the loss of life the most conservative estimate of Fire Chief Cushman is that sixty per sons perished. Persons who know how many worked in the building daily run the list up to 130. The work of removing the debris in search for bodies has commenced, but proceeds slow, owing to the heat of the bricks. Twenty-four of the injured have been taken to the hospital. THE HOLT COAT. It I Pronounced tho Genuine Coat of tha Savior. Berlin. Aug. 22. The "holy coat," now on exhibition in the cathedral at Treves, has been ex amined by a textile manufacturer, who says that when the wrappers were removed tne garment was found to be so tattered that it could not be displayed. An aged and experieneed nun managed to cum the fragments together, the material being too much worn to permit tbe use of needle and thread. The coat is now- partly overlaid with tbe materials in which it has formerly been wrap pad, and, which having become de cayed, cannot be separated troru it, The reverse side of the coat has also been examined by Dr. Boeck, of Air la Chappelle, who stated that it was mounted on bissussilk, which was a material in use dur ing tbe first century and never later than the sixth, and wbicb was very costly. In Catholic circles these facts are regarded as proving the authenticity of the relic. THE ITATA CASE. New Tork Merchants to Come to Loa Angele as Witnesses. New York, Aug. 22.

There is considerable speculation among the friends of 11. Arthur Schlichter as to his whereabouts. He is tbe son of the Rev. H. H. Schlicter, the first pastor of the Salem United Brethren church at Clifton, but now pastor of a church atCbambersburg, Pa. in March last young Schlicter came to this city. He was converted during his s'ay at Clifton. Schlichter became acquainted with a numbti of the young and charming women ot that place, many of whom, it is said, were attracted by him. He is a bright young man, of winning manners, fine physique, and is veiy handsome. lie went to the Cascade hotel at Buena Vista sta tion, on the Western Maryland railway, a couple of weeks ago, where he was introduced by the proprietor of the hotel to widow, who is spending the summer with her two children at the hotel.

Imprisoned la aa Old Cheat Par tho Abseaco of Thalr Parent A Mystery, Irortown, O., Aug, 22. George Hamilton and his wife went out last evening to make a Dosinees call, and when they returned could not find their three children. The parents supposed they were play ing with their little neighbors and paid no attention to their absence. Hamilton grew uneasy after while and began to look for the little ones. The oldest was only 8 years old and tbe others were 4 and 2 respectively. Returning from the neighbors, and a fruitless search, the parents began to look over the house. A large tool chest stood in one corner of the outside shed. Tbe mother threw back the lid, cream ed and fainted away. Her three children lay dead in the chest. The babe had died first, clutched tightly in the arms of the oldest. The faces of all were blackened and congested. Tbe town waa aroused at once and tne omeera hurried to make an investigation. Thev found that after the children had either climbed or bad been put into the chest, a strong stick i i r A ;n.. tUm, l.w uau uccu iuii;cu uiw uo iiaa.bui consigning them to a certain death in a few minutes, ine cries oi tne children, of course, had been smothered by tbe tmcK sides oi the chest. Mrs. Hamilton fs al most insane and it is the general belief that tbe children were de liberately smothered by some fiend. A search of the house re vealed nothing disturbed and there was no evidence to point to murder but the tell-tale stick which bad locked the children to their death. The theory is given ont that some of the neighbors' children bad been playing with them and locked them in without realizing the consequences. The idea, how ever, seems to have been exploded by a close examination of the bodies. They bear evidence of having been roughly handled, as their clothes were torn and their faces bruised, either in very rough play or by being roughly shoved into the death chest. They had evidently suffered much and fought fiercely lor their lives. The father says he is sure they war playing in the yard when he and bis wife left home. An inquest will be held to-day. The mystery kept the place awake last night. The neighborhood naa all been canvassed, but there is no discovery that other children were playing with Hamilton's littla ones during their parent's absence. A Lawyer Tnrna raraaer. Florence. Ala..
