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.

divorce did not form part of French law,

very curious suit.
A husband who was divorced some time
Ago was much surprised to receive a sum

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Don't talk to mo of Jrtwrel suits,"

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."
