The contest which closed yesterday
will do much toward advancing the stand

state, and will encourage an effort to
make even belter records if possible at

resulting is best noted in the increased

panies. By yesterday's express 31. C. Hatchings,
of this city, received letters patent from

gives tho name of the grocer from whom

winds up with tho assertion that tho as
tute doctor, who was called in, "be
lieves" that tho poison was "from the do
composition of the fish." Just se: last
vcar it was tho solder that was poisonous.
Scientific investigation knocked tho col
oring of truth out of that, and now it is
tho fish itself that is poisonous. The
whole business needs confirmation, and
every former report of the kind, when
simmered down, was found to be na the
baseless fabric of a vision.

by Onc-flfth of aSccond.-Onr Htwncs
Take the Second Trlze.
Yesterday dawned cool and cloudy, and
though the'great 2ow York contest was
called for eight and advertised at nine
o'clock it was ten before tho teams got
ready for I he blai t. In this race the con
testants were to run 200 yards to hydrant,
lay 350 feet of hose, disconnect seventh
oflast section, tako out third section
from hydrant, replace with seventh sec
tion; connect section removed to sixth
section, attach pipe and throw water.
This is something new in Pacific coast
fire tournaments and attracted universal
attention. The first prize was $200, sec
ond prize $75.
When the time was taken on Rescue's,
one watch said 1:21. another 1.21K. a
third 1:21 2-5. making the time 1:21 7-15.
The result was received with cheers, for
that is considered good time, in a con
test; m practicing the boys had made it
in 1:1-1. Capitals of Salem came next,
and made a magnificent run, and when
time was called on water, one watch in
dicated 1:21, ,n sf-cocd 1:21 3-5. a third
1:21 1-5, making the time 151 4-5, beating
IteFcaes just one-fifth of a second. Then
began tumultuous cheering by the Cap
itals and their friends, who had bet
heavy on them, and were overjoyed at
the resull. Albanys ran next, but scored
no time, and were followed by Salem No.
3, made n run in 1:31 ", thus ending the
contest.
Tho last on the list was a sweep
stakes foot raco for $50, run 150
yards, free to all members of tho associa
tion; the following entered: Geo. S.
Wright, Dick Pattou, Ferg Reed, W.
Mctiee, and A. F. Reed, of Salem, Ed.
Ferguson, Frank Itfulkey and A. Hough
ton, of Astoria, F. Marshall of Albany,
E. Cofliu of Eugene. The race was won
by Dick Patlon of Capitals of Salem in
14 4-5 seconds. Tho tournament ended
at noon, and after a hearty round of
cheers and congratulations, tho prizes
were paid, and at two o'clock the Tele
phone started for Portland with tho re
turning delegations, and so ended the
fourth annual meeting, and the largest
and most successful one of the kind ever
held in tho state.

Alongside tho roadway near tho Jerome
Park raco track a three card monto
swindler set up his tripod. His chatter
and his manipulation of the cards were
uncommonly brisk, for there was mo
mentary danger of a policeman coming
to stop him. Passengers were being
emptied from a train, and they surround
ed the operator. But for a time his only
betting was with his confederate, who, of
course, won right along, James W.
Keene, the Wall-streeter. arrived with
several friends, and looked on at the
game. JLue gamblers pal resorted to
tho familiar trick of slyly bending a cor
ner of the card by that means making it
appear that tho winning ono could bo
picked out to a certainty. Keeno sur
prised the spectators by saying: "I'll tako
you for $50 that I can pick out tho jack."
Tho sum was above the gambler s capital,
but ho got $10 out of his pockets, and
the stokes were put into the hands of an
honest bystander.
"Now, "my fine, fellow," said Keene,
"you think you've got a sure thing on
me, but vou haven't. The chances are
exactly even. I shan't choose the bent
card, for, of course that isn't tho jack.
You've smoothed tho jack in handling
them, and bent one of the others. So
tho jack must bo one of the smooth
cards; and in taking this one," and here
ho placed his hand on a card, "my chances
are equal against you. See? Ah! Yes,
I've won."
He pocketed the stakes, and was
cheered b' the instructed crowd. Vcw

During the second day's proceedings
of the Oregon Medical society, in Port
land, Dr. J. A. Fulton, of this city, read
an interesting paper, entitled " Non-interference
in regard to probing gun-shot
wounds." The essayist took tho ground
of opposition to probing after n wound
wan inflicted, for the reasons that it irri
tated tho wound, broke open tho blood-
clot, caused tho air to enter the wound,
renewed hemorrhage, and weakened and
shocked the patient's system. A bullet,
ho said, could bo cxtraoted six weeks
after it lodged in the body with much
more safety than in six hours. The es
sayist was satisfied that in a great many
cases a nance jeic lougeu in me system
did no particular harm by remaining
there. Ho thought that probing was
practiced more to satisfy tho curiosity of
the physician than to aid the patient,
and cited several cases that came under
his own observation where abstaining
from the usa of the nroba had been ben
eficial. This paper produced an animat
ed discussion, several siding m with Dr.
Fulton. Drs. Saylor, Fraser. Owens.

"Hojal" the cnly Absolutely pure llnVlnt?
Toniler made Action of the Xeir York
State Hoard of Health.
Under the direction of tho Xew York
Stato Board of Health, eighty-four
different kinds of baking powders
embracing all the brands that could be
found for sale in the State, were sub -milled
to examination and analysis by
Prof. C. F. CnAN'DLcn, n member of tho
Stato Board, and President of the New
York City Board of Health, assisted by
Prof. Edwabd G. Lovn,tho well-known
lato United States Government chemist.
Tho official report shows that a large
number of the powders examined were
fod'anto contain alum or lime, many of
them to such an extent as to render them
seriously objectionable for use in the
preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine sam
ples. This drug is employed in baking
powders to cheapen their cost. The
presence of lime is attributed to the
impure cream of tartar of commerce
used in their manufacture. Such cream
of tartar was also analyzed and found to
contain lime and other impurities, in
some samples to the extent of ninety
three per cent of their entire weight.
All t ho baking powders of the market,
with the single exception.of the "Royal"
(not including the alum and phosphate
powders, which were long since discarded
as unsafe or inefficient by prudent
housekeepers) are made from the impure
cream of tartar of commerce, and con
sequently contain lime to a correspond
ing extent.
Tho only baking powder yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely free
from lime, and absolutely pure, is the
"Royal." This perfect purity results
from tho exclusive use of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent
process of the N. Y. Tartar Co., which
totally removes the tartrate of lime and
othes impurities. The cost of this chem
ically pure cream ot tartar is mncn
greater than any other, and on account
of this greater cost it is used in no bak
ing powder but the "Royal.'
Prof. Lovb, who made the analyses of
baking powders for tho New York Stato
Board of Health, os well as for the Gov
ernment, says of the parity and whole
someness of "Royal": "I have tested a
package of Ro3'aI Baking Powder' which
I purchased in tho open market, and find
it composed of pure and wholcsomo
ingredients. It is a cream of tartar
powder of a high degree of merit, and
does not contain cither alum or
phosphates or any injurious substances.

TAIt ASI) FEATHERS.
llou a Urnte tias Punl&hrd Tor StriMnhfr
lTIfc.
Lafatltte, Ind., June 3. I was seated
in tho corridor of a hotel this evening
when a gentleman read aloud to a group
of friends a telegraphic account of tho
tarring and feathering of Roy S. Hatha
way, tho city editor of tho Toledo un-
duy Dispatch. I observed that they all
laughed and seemed to consider tho thing
exquisitely funny. The fact is. tarring
and feathering, so far as public sympa
thy goes, is placed in a good deal tho
same category as haying a tooth pulled,
or falling down on a banana skin. I
used to laugh at it myself, but I altered
my opinion two years ago last fall.
This change of heart did not come
about through my being tarred and
leathered myself, but through an enisodo
of which I was j spectator. It was in
1882 and took place at a littlo Colorado
mining camp called Carbonville.
TAC AND FEATHEES IX COrOEADO.
Carbonvillo lies just over tho conti
nental divide on tho Pacific side, in Lake
county, about twelve miles from Lead-
yillo as the crow flies. It wa3 a mush
room city, and at that timo was in the
hectic heyday of its prosperity. Its bus
iness portion was made up largely of
saloons and faro banks, and the fact
that its population was mamlv gentle
men exiled from Leadville for various
offenses will give an idea of its moral
satus.
Ono of tho very few "respectable"
women in tho camp was a Mrs Jako
uory, who ran a little lunch room and
restaurant. Sho was sweet-faced and
sweet-tempered, and had an abiding
iunu ot patience, mat enabled her to put
up with tho vagaries of one of the worst
hurbands in tho world. We in the camp
thought that Jake Cory was absolutely
the worst on tho face of the earth. He
was a drunken, foul-mouthed, brute
who divided his time between the
gambling houses and worse re
sorts. At these places he spent every
aonar nis wne earnea, ana an ne could
borrow on her good name. He once
went so far as to pawn her furniture
down to tho cookmc stove, over which
she supported him. I mention these
tilings to show that the sequel was not
altogether unprovoked.
FOE STEIKIXQ X WOMAN.
One evening Cory came into tho res
taurant drunk and struck his wifo sav
agely in the face. He escaped through
tne bacKuoorana sue came in scarred
and bleeding nnd told the story to some
of the boarders. An impromptu indig
nation meeting was hold among tho
"boys" and it was decided to tar and
feather tho fellow and run him out of
town. Tho phrase sounded well in tho
mouth of the man who suggested it .and
everybody agreed that that was the cor
rect thing to do.
No time was lost. A couple of men
ran over to the refining works and got a
uig iron duckci. oi pucu, ana oiuers pro
cured an old feather tick from a lodging
house. Then a committee started out to
get Cory.
The found him asleep in a saloon and
hustled him over to a vacant lot in the
rear of some buildings. Ho was half
dazed and confused with drink, nnd
thought the affair war a joke, until the
men began to strip off hl3 clothes. Then
he fought like a madman in truth I be
lieve he was mad with terror. His shirt
and nnderclothes had to be literally torn
off of him, and it was a good fifteen min
utes work before he stood, shivering and
stark naked in the moonlight.
APPWINO TnE TAB.
I can see him now his bleared eyes di
lated and his shock of yellow hair bris
tling on his head. His nude body stood
out in bold relief against the group that
surrounded him, and the chill, pene
trating air must have struck the wretch
to the bone. At any rate he crouched
down and somebody called eut: "Give it
to him now!" At the s?me instant the
bucket of tar was lifted ind about a gal
lon thrown with a swash over his bare
shoulders. He sprang erect at the cold
touch of the pitch, and whirled around
just in timo to receive the rest of it on the
head, face and chest.
For a moment he stood petrified, the
black stuff trickling down hia body and
Iega, and uniting with a great puddle of
it on the ground. Then he slowly raised
his hands to his eyes and tried to brush
them clear, but as his fingers had received
a good share of the pitch, he only made
matters worse, and dropped his arms
again. Ho did not seem to realize what
had happened, and wagged his head
blindly from side to side:
As ho stood thus, ono of tho men took
the upper edge of tho tick and inverted
it over him. I suppose it was as com
plete a job of tho sort as was ever under
taken: at leasi, nothing was overlooked
to make it a success. Corv looked like
nothing human, but some strange species
of monster blotched all over with fluffy
white. His head seemed about tho size
and shape of a bushel basket, and his
features were obliterated in the general
blackness.
rr was a colp night.
When the work was done he was mve
fifteen minutes to get out of camp. He
was made to understand with difficulty,
but was finally started on the trail and
the crowd dispersed.
Early next morning some miners, go
ing to work, found Cory back of a build
ing lying on tho ground and moaning.
Tho tar hod by this timo rubbed all over
him and partly solidified. As it grew
hard it contracted, and every contraction
had dragged with it tho thousands of mi
croscopic hairs with which tho body is
covered. In places it had broken the
skin, nnd the men who carried him into
a shed found blood on their hands. A
fmysician then located there, and now
iving at Greely, Col., was called in and
attempted to remove tho stuff with ben
zine. It was an ntter failure as was
everything else tried from grease to am
monia. I saw him in tho caurso of the morn
ing. The lower portion of his body was
covered with a blanket, but his face was
a spectacle not easily forgotten. The
hard pitch was cracked all over it, like
alligator skin, and had caked so solidly
around one eye it was impossible to re
move it. The other oyo was opened, but
dreadfully inflamed and suppurating.
Atplacc3over tho surface wero sodden
splotches of feathers.
Business called mo away from Carbon
ville for about two weeks.'and a few days
after I returned Cory died. Meantime
most of the tar had been removed by
successive washes, but his skin was cov
ered with minute black specks like tho
shaven chin of a "man who has a heavy
beard. They wero tho choked-up pores
of tho skin, and this was probably tho
real cause of tho death. A short time
after tho punishment ho had been taken
with n raging fever, and then symptoms
of a singular blood disorder set in. The
fllan over tho chest, neck, cheeks and
outsido of the arms roso in hard ridges,
totally devoid of feeling. These rapidly
sloughed off, leaving open ulcers. I shall
not enlarge upon these details, which
would only parhap3 interest a medical
man, further than to say tho symptoms
wero in all save one respect identical
with leprosT. This sole difference was
the frightful rapidity of their develop
ment. Tho distorted remains were hur
ried into a coffin nnd hurried into tho
ground.
THE CAUSE Or DEATH.
A wise physician of Denver told me
afterward that this closing up of tho
pores prevented tho system from throw
ing off its impurities, nnd when the poi
son that every instant escapes in per
spiration is held back or driven inward
the blood is vitiated with inconceivable
swiftness. Ho took down a book and
showed me a case quoted from a French
government report of 1762, where the col
lege of surgeons, as an experiment, cov
ered a boy with gold leaf. In six hours
ho was seized with a fever, then a torpor,
and then died. The principle, ho said,
was identical. A man could no more
livo with his pores closed than he could
with his mouth and nostrils hermetically
sealed, and if any considerable number
were stopped up blood disorders of tho
most dreadful character wero absolutely
certain to cusne.
I had seen enough, however, without
tho aid .of science or history, to tell me
that covering a man with tar was one of
the most horrible punishments that cru
el ty has ever devised. I have no impulse
to laugh when 1 hear of a caso of it. but
rather to walk away with a picture float
ing before my eyes of a hideously gro
tesque iiguro shivering in tho cold night
air and a bloated corpse in a rough pine
coffin. John Rex.
