w A MASHER AND THIEF. How Mr. Rob Uuilinrll M.nij;tc to llrrnk tutu Jail. Bob Bushnell, of Ciucinnntl, U n "lulu." He had n nominal wife livlni; -with him in a Hut, u lovely lady In New York wits engaged to him, while a third, who signed her name "Fannie," was writ ing him the most gushing letters. Of chance hut very agreeable acquaintances he had many He also had a good position as chief clerk to Superintendent Bough- Iton.of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Now he has very limited quarters In the "jail and no one to no his bail. B. P lll'SIIKKLlj NELLIE WILSON. His salary was only eventy-flve dollan per mouth, and vet he had fi.oUO worth of new furniture in the rooms where he lived with ids Adele. who is known to others as Nellie Wilson, and who is the divorced wife of that Fred Witte who i "wanted for ob taining money under false pretenses." The people in the Hat thought that "Mr. and Mrs. Dushnell were people of means," but the "boys" who go about of evenings were better, posted. "Who is that swell guy Nellie has got on her stall now?" was the question among them, and "Oh, he's a railroad treasurer blowlug in his stuff on her," was the reply As often happens, many others suspected he was stealing before his employer did. It was the discovery of a false pay roll that revealed the truth to Superintendent Boughton. Hushnell's method was to issue checks to alleged employes and draw the cash himself, ami he had got away with at least f 10,000 before lie was caught. Many letters found on him were passionate ex pressions of love from ladies evidently well educated. And this weakness proved his ruin. He is from Pittsburg, and his full name is Benjamin Franklin Bushnell. A Woman's A Id to Kx-Conrlcts. The Detroit Home of Industry, an insti tution to aid discharged couvicts in start ing on a better life, was opened for occu pancy Oct. 1, 1S1H). It is a 30 by 90 foot three story brick, with a large basement workshop, and with dormitory, Sunday hall and living apartments, the whole having cost $T0,lXW It is the result of many years' labor by Mrs Agnes D'Ar cambal. This lady was born in IS32 in Burling ton, Vt., where her father, William Har rington, was a lawyer. At a very early .age she manifested great interest, in prison ers, and after she married Charles D'Arcambal, of Charlotte, Mich., she devoted her spare time to re formatory work. Her religious and charitable work at the state prison at Jackson was at tended with such success that she received in 1S73 a MIIS. D'AItCAMDAL. special letter of thauk.s from Governor Bagley Six years ago she designed the home In Detroit, to take charge of ex-convicts nnd assist them in getting permanent employ ment, and the first contributions were from men in the penitentiary The new building is now almost paid for and the reformatory work promises to bo very suc cessful Tiio MotlxT-ln-lmv III France. When a Frenchman enters into the holy bonds of matrimony lie renders himself legally responsible, not only for the sup port of his wife, but for that of herpiirents, In case they should become destitute, and the same obligation i.s incurred by the wife In regard to the father anil mother of her husband. When, however, this enactment was inscribed in the code the practice of divorce did not form part of French law, -and this fact has given rise recently to a very curious suit. A husband who was divorced some time Ago was much surprised to receive a sum mons from his ex-inotber-iu-law to pay the usual installment of the alimony which hu had allowed her during his married life. Of course tiie young man argued that as the law had rid him of his wife equity would scarcely force him to support his mother-in-law The Pans court, however, informed the defendant that, equity or uo equity, the code was unmistakable, and that he would have to pay the money. He demurred, naturally, at such a farcical de cision, and appealed to the court of cassa tion, which invalidated the tiudlng of the lower tribunal. Willi Cherrle Sroru u Victim.

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER. llculon llefnre the American Chem ical Stirlntr. T"iMMp'i Trihunt. To the Editor of The Tribune. I have just seen the report in your issue of et teinber .", of the discussion nt the Wash ington meeting of the American Chem ical Society, August IS, relative to the use of carbonate of nininonia in baking powders. This report is incomplete nnd incor rect in many particulars, nnd as the pa per which precepitnted the discussion wns rend by nie nnd wns bused upon my own experiinents, I desire to make cer tain corrections in the interest of the truth nnd for the benefit of the lnrge number of your rentiers to whom the question is one of great moment. The paper ns rend before the society related that ammonia in baking powder is retained in the bread by reason of its nihility to the gluten, The concensus of opinion ns expressed during the dis cussion wns against the use of carbonn e of ammonia in baking powder with the only exception of Dr. .McMurtrie, who is now nn employe of n baking powder company which uses carbonnte of nm nioniii in its baking powder. Of the other parties mentioned ns hav ing taken pnrt in the discussion were Professor Dr. Barker, of the University of Pennsylvania, who is the President of the society nnd one of our highest authorities. In answer to a pleading bv Professor McMurtrie thnt only small quantities of ammonia were used in bak ing powders, he stated: "No matter how smnll the quantity, I must decline to be dosed medically without my con sent when tnking my "meals." Dr. E. II. Bartley, formerly chemist of the Brooklyn Board of Health and Professor of Chemistry at the Long Isl and College, likewise "named, did not, I believe, take active part in the discus sion, but is already on record us strontly opposed to the use of ammonium car bonate in baking powders. Dr. Itichnrdson volunteered only the question whether the Hour used in the experiinents wns of good quality, of which I nssured him by stating thnt it wns the best and the flour used in my family. Professor Mallet was not present. Your nrticle is misleading in so far ns it gives the impression thnt ammonia disappenrs on baking. My actual tests ngreo with those ninde by others, show ing that ammonia remains in the bread. My investigntions simply nssign n new cause for its retention. H. Endema.nn, I'll. D. Xew York Tribune, September 17, 1S91. Note. Dr. Endemnnn, the writer of this communication, is well known in scientific circles, nnd wns for twelve years chemist of the Now York Board of "Health. The baking powder company above referred to is the Royal Baking" Powder Company of New York, nnd the em ploye Dr. William McMurtrie, who de fends that company's use of uniiiionia, is their much-advertised government authority. There is no such ofiice known under our government ns thnt of govern ment or United States government chemist. The Truth About u Hoy. Ho comes out at the front door, bright faced aud happy. Ho comes out for no par ticular reason, save that ho wants to bo mov ing about. He U full of physical action, nnd must get somo of it out of him before bedtime, or he won't bo fit to sleep. Ho doesn't know this with his head, but his body knows It; for, after all, tho body does a good deal of its own thlnkiug independently of what wo call con sciousness. Ho stands on the stop and looks up ami down tho street. Ho doesn't know what ho is looking for. Indeed, ho is not looking for anything. Ho just looks with a sort of undefined hopo that he will seo wmo thing suggestive to him of what to do. Ho jumps down the steps and goes to tho gate, hangs on it a moment, makes n few sounds w ith his voice such as nobody but a boy can make, and nobody else would innko if he could. They don't mean anything. Ho makes them because well, because he is a boy. As if he had suddenly thought of some thing to do, ho bangs tho gate open and rushes down tho middle of tho street yelling like a young Indian. But ho has not sudden ly thought of something to do. Ho has sim ply done that Iwcnuso he couldn't think of anything to do and must do something. Then ho picks up a stouo and fires it at a dog, aud cringes and feels sorry if it hits tho mark. Ho doesn't want to hurt the dog. Ho throws tho stono becauso ho and the dog nnd the stone nro there, and it is W.tndy to do so. For a few seconds ho Mauds and looks up into a treo at nothing. Then lie breaks into a run again, and suddenly sits down on the curb stone as if ho had accomplished something uud was content. Washington Capital Kiitotuheil In u Crater. J. A. Beaton and It. W. I3udon, of Albu querque, w hile on their way to tho MalpaU, met a Mexican ho volunteered for a few dollars to go and show them what ho know about tho crater. As a goneral thing Mexi cans aro superstitious and huu tho vicinity of tho lava bods, but this man agreed to go. Ha piloted tho Albuquorquoans to a cave on tho highest jaoiut, through cracks iu tho floor of which a warm vapor ascended. Viewing the surroundings for a few seconds tho men were startled by a low, rumbling sound, like distant thunder, and tho lava beneath their feet trembled. Tho Mexican fled immediately to the open air, but boforo tho goutlcmeu could realize it a iortion of the bottom of tho cavo fell, and thoy with it, Into intense darkness. Neither was injured, but tho ground upou which thoy fell seemed to sway to and fro. Fortunately ono of tho party had a caudle and somo matches, and after innumerable attempts to light It the caudlo was made to burn. When tho light was obtained a lako of water, black as pitch, lay at their feot, while the opjxwite shore appeared to bo moving from right to left. It seemed that they had landed on a floating ialand or a huge mass of lava, which ha probably Uun eddying around in this strange whirlpool for cen turies. The Mexican soon returned to the mouth of the cave, ami, lowering lariaU, by the aid of their horses pulled tho imprisoned explorers out of their bondage aud to the surface once more.

"Don't talk to mo of Jrtwrel suits," aid a iierspirinir young fello he ran a handkerchief around the insu?f tt tho collar of one of the garments he tMil not want to hear mentioned, and rolleil up the sleeves of the same, from where thvy clung warm ami woolly about his wrists. "Flannel shirts are a delusion," he added angrily. "They are absolutely hot. They may bo healthy, but they rasp my neck and almost scarify me under the arms. Every time they are washed they ahrink, till they get ns thick as boards, and by winter time I expect they will be about small enough to make ndmirablo chest protectors. "It seems strange to mo that with all the Yankee ingenuity that wo hoar of going about loose in the country some thing cool, t-niootli, light, durable, com fortable, cheap and unshrinkable canuot be invented for summer wear. Silk is too dear for the average man who has to perspire for his living; llannel is too coarse and warm for any but mauual toilers, and between them and starched, airtight, sharp edged lined there Feems to be no satisfactory alternative. "There must have been a timo when starch was unknown. Men wore liueu then, no doubt, and looked well enough in it too. But who would dare appear in a linen shirt now unstarched? Such cowards are we, such slaves to custom! I declare my night shirt, with its loose rolling collar, clean and cool, is tho only thing that 1 know of that seems to fill the bill. I wonder if 1 sewed n lace rufllo up and down the front of it, put soft laco ruilles on the wrists aud a light necktie under tho collar, and appeared cool and comfortable with it, at tho ofiice, would the boys take mo for a lunatic, or would they think I was only masquerading in a Vandyke costume? That's tho kind of shirt they wore in those days, I believe, before tho era of starch. I've a good mind to try it." New York Tribune. White Haired CliiUtlnii Ko.aettl. Christina Rosetti, the sister of the poet, is a lovely, white haired woman now. She lives in Torrington square, quite in 'that quarter where the Ameri cans find comfortable lodging houses. I Miss Rossotti has been very charitablo; in fact her charities have exceeded her income to such an extent thnt sho is in comparative poverty now. She has been frightfully imposed upon from timo to time. I have picked up a number of her letters written to a certain impostor in London, who, pretending to want, whee dled this kindly lady out of many a pound. The letters of tho amiable worn nn, inclosing money to relievo tho wretched beggar's alleged wants, are marvels of pathos, for she speaks of her own poverty. It is hard to conceive how nnv man could have tho heart to ! prey upon so noble and so unsuspecting a creature. A great many years ago tho youthful poems of Miss Rossotti were published privately, and copies of tho littlo book aro now in great demand nt $33 apiece. London Cor. Chicago News.

Thomas Wiser, while ascending Look out mountain by the pike, lost a valuable horse, but by almost a miraclo a 0-year-old boy was spared from a most dreadful death. Tho lad. who was sick, was lying asleep on a pillow on the back seat of a one horse wagon, wheu the horso at a curve in tho narrow road became fright ened and leaped oil tho edge of tho pre cipitous descent. He fe!l almost a hun dred feet, and was injured so badly that ho had to bo killed. Tho wagon was 6mashed into kindling wood.
