A Perfect Baking Powder
The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is due to two causes.
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.

"What will the democratic party
do on the silver question? The
vast majority ol tlie party are in
favor of a debased dollar. Will

Cleveland? We must wait. In

American labor and the debase
ment of the American dollar."

STARVING TO DEATH
TBI FAMINE IN KIS8IA GROW
ING ALARMING.
Parents Bell Their Children to
Buy Food A Sad Need of Mora
Grain.
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.

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.

Chicago. Aug. 22. General
Miles, in an , interview about a

measure in my judgmeut, is ill

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.
