A reporter of TnE TRipUNE called on Dr. T.oach yesterday to get his statement in regard 10 the recent investigation of bis conduct and character ot Springfield. The Doctor was fouzd jn hisroom at the Burdick House, where he is 1sid up with erysipelas brought on by the yellow fever from which he suffered while engaged fn the quarantine work at Cairo last fall. He had read the testimony as published in ToE TRIBUNE and regretted his illoees the more as it pre- vented him from sppearing before the Commit- 1ée and answering the charges agafnst him. He was perfectly willing to talk ob the subjoat, and was confident that hecould upset the testimony. “Whois this Col. Valletze?? asked the re- porter, **and why does he make these charges against you? What is his motive?” “Well, I will tell you. He is the attorney for one Dr. Edminster, who was at the Palmer House some time ago, and who was compelled toriveup bis advertisements claiming to cure by * the touch.’ “Is he the only one who is persecuting you?" “Certainly not. There Is Aiken, Dr. Pratt, towhom we refused to give a certificate, and several others. This whole movement is ivsutmted by quacks whom we have driven to the “wall. The fight is not 50 much against me as against the State Board of Health. These quacks wiil have to Zo out of the business or leave the State if we continue our work, hence this attack on me as the Presi- dent of the Board, 1tis mere malice, and the motive is ‘perfectly apparent to auy one who comprehends the situation.” ““Ho do yon explain the testimony of the drag-vlerk, Mr. Charles 3ills?? “Well, there is, of course, a great deal of truth in the statement, but it is so manipulated 1that an inference i3 drawn which is not justified by the facts or the testimony itself. He says that] came into the drug-store fifteen or twenty tinics a day, and £0 I dul, but the inference is drawn from the copnection that I toox that many drinks 2 day. Now that is perfect non- seuse. Here is a_statement taken from the books of the firm, from which it appears that the average sales of whisky to all persons, was only sixty centsaday. If Ihad talen fiftcen drinks a day there it would amount to three times that sum to myself aione, to say nothing of other customers. That clerk was discharge Jagt fall, and Dr. Pratt paid his cxpenses to Springfield so that he could be used against me in my absence.” ,:‘ Diflp\'on ever go in there at all fora arink of 3 Yes.

At that time I was warking fourteer hours a day, but 1 Dever went into the store for that purpose more than two or three times a day.” % “ What about the charge that you were in the habit of standingin the door aud winking and staring at women passing by??’ “That is an utter fabrication, and _those who know me will, T am sure, refuse to believe it.” “What is your opinion, Doctor, of the testi- mony as a whole?*’ * It really don’t amount to anything.

The City in Danger of Being Swamped by Property-Damage Judgments. The Intestine War that Is Now Agitat- ing Episcopal Circles. An Episcopal Divine Subjected to Investi- gation by an Irresponsible Body. Weddings of the Week, Social Chit-Chiat, and Top- ical Nentions Generally. THE COADJUTOR BISHOP. Svecial Dispatch to The Trivune. MILWAUKEE, Feb. 22.—Tur TRIBUNE corre- spondent has been put in possession of a num- ber of rumors concerning the controversy over the appointment of a coadjutor to Archbishop Henoi, and the bad fceling botween the Ger- man and Irish nationalitics that has grown out ofit. In the first place, according to informa- tion given to the correspondent, it is known or believed at the Sce House that Bishop Spald- ing, of Peorin, Iil., will receive the appoint- ment of Coadjutor Bishop, which - includes, as a matter of course, the successorship to Arch- Vishop Henni. In explanation of the absence of | Bisnop Spalding on the occasion of the public {estivities, rumor states that he was the recipient of an anonymous letter previous to the jubflce warning him not to appear here, aud adding that he would never be permitted to come as the prubable successor of the venerable Arch- bishop. This led him to the decision to remain at home, in order that the fecling of bitterness wmight be allayed as much as possible. It is'well known here, and mention of the act has also been made through the columns of 'ux TitiBUNE, that St. Francis' Seminary has become the scat of war on the question of na- tionality connected with the appeintment of a Coadjutor Bishop. The head of this colleginte institute, the Kev. Father Wappelhorst, has en- tered into, the fight with a bitterness that is con- sidered remarkadle for a Catholic - or any other divine, and through his po- sition is cnabled to make it de cldedly unpleasant for those who oppose his views. The corps of Professors and teachers embraces oue Father Fagan, of Irish descent, and finbued with a strong love of nationality. With him Father Wappethorst nas crossed swords, with the avowed intention of = driving him out of the institution by resignation. Itis not in the power of Wapoelhorst to remove or expel Fagan, The canon law places that suthor- ity in the hands of the Archbishop. But he is nevertheless determined that e shall no longer act as a teacher. Rumor has it that one day not long since, while a laree class of students were recitinrto Fagan, Wappelhiorst came into the class-room and ordered them to leave. The students rebelled, and thus rendered them- selves liable to expulsion, but they were not ex- velled. As stated above, Wappelhorst is not nossessed of the suthority to remove Fagan, but the eanon law gives him the right to close the doors of the institution against kim sbhould he undertalie to_Ieave the building for ever so short a time. 'The friends of Farau say that for three weeks past ke bas ot visited the city, al- though previously a frequent caller. This they accept as an infimation that he has been com- pelled to Submit to self-immolation rather than give Wappelborst the coveted opportunity of closing the doors against him. In fact, they say Le dares oot leave the building on this account. Word is also said to bave come from the Semi- nary that if the imbroelio continues much long- er, the English-speaking students will leave in a body. s Another rumor in conncetion with the Wm‘ pelborst-Fagan difficulty is to the effect thal the former suspected the latter of writing com- munications to several of the city flYnners, and set spies to watch the newspaper offices for the purpase of detecting Fagan in_the act of call- ing there. The scheme failed of its purpose, however, as Fagan, if he really wrote the com- municativhs; was ‘tuo’shdrp’ to'dcliver tiem in person. PROTERTY DAMAGE SUITS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. . MmwausEe, Feb, 22.—The taxpayers of 51il- waukee are very properly becoming very much alarmed at what they consider a preconcerted raid upon the City Treasury, rcceotly inaugu- rated by people owning property in localities where changes of grade have been ordered by the Common Couneil, and made in compliance with such order. Suits looking to the recovery of damages arc being instituted by scores, and the limit for them scems to be unbounded if the practice of , permit- ting . chanzes of venue to be, taken is not prohibited. In most instances the dam- ages asked nearly equal the full value of the property, if necessity were to compel the own- ers to dispose of it to-day. But, judging from the experlence of the past few months, this can no longer be considered an objection, as Granger jurors, who wever dispose of real estate in smaller parcels than a few acresat a time, and for low figurea at that, harbor an exolted opinion of the fabulous value of Jots in a ‘great and growing? city like Milweukee, with its 115,000 inhabitants. Therefore, if mistakes are to be charged arainst any one it must be against those interested in the suits, because of tieir not hav- g fixed a bigher ratio of value upon the prop- erty involved. According to the present out- look, unless a severe check is put upon the raid~ ers, the public treasury will, ere many months have clapsed, be depleted to the extent of over £1,000,000. The fact that absolute ruin stares the corporation in the face is becoming so patent that it ceonot be wondered at that people are becoming fright- ened; that whoiesale dealers who have lived aud conducted their business in our midst for years are seriously considering the propriety of “ulling up stakes and removing to Chicago, and that others, speculators, are ope by one drop- ping out from among us and “ going West.” Tt is really not a matter of wonder, for the ap- pearance of the city, from 8 busioess point of view, is daily becoming worse, instead of petter. Add to this the absolute certainty of an increase of taxation, without the promise of at least a corresponding increase in the volume of busi- ness, and one becomes the possessor of the secret for this universal desirc to dig out, to Yamoose. Coucerning these suits for property damages, it may be stated, as a_matter of history, that during the term of the Hon. E. G. Ryan, at present Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, as Citv-Attorney, not a single suit ot the few instituted was decided against the city. In other words, the City Treasury did not suffer Qepletion to the amount of o single dollar, except for mneccessary court expenses, from this source. But_ his succeseor, Emil Wallber, opened the door for a general Taid by permitting almost the very first case that fell into bis hauds to be sworn away to an- other circuit for trial. The decision was against the city, as a matter of course, and from that time out the demands and drains have been con~ stantly swelling. There are ghose, people pro- fessing to be posted, who uncharitably attribute thestep taken by Mr. Wallber to a desire to re- pay a valuable political service rendered by the party bringing the suit. Whether thisis really 50 OF not the writer does not feel calied upon to decide. Others claim that motives of per- sonal aggrandizement governed in getting the daneerous precedent, and ;{uint to what they claim to be a fact, that Mr. Wallber, since Teav- ine the oflice of City-Attorney, has versonally _ebared in the award of a property damage suit brought against the municipality and won through tlie threadbare trick of a change of venue. The trath of this charge also the writer i3 ot prepared o vouch:afe. He merely gives the scandalous gossip as it s re- tailed by prominent property-owners and legal gentlemen, who bave watched the acts of M Wallber closely, and profess 10 be the posses: ors of {lroofa that will bear them out in all they gay and charge. 'Fhiere is now but one way to stop these ag- gressions, and that way is to put an end to the change of veoue system. 1f ihis can be brought about, it will result in the defeat of most of the partics now suing, and stop a great many ac- tions now in course of preparation. As stated in a previous letter, one of these actions now in prospect will call for the snuz sum of 850, 000, and another for $25,000 or §30,000. It is, judeed, bizh time that the people rise in their might and crush out this system of piracy. THE EPISCOPALIANS, A telegram printed in the TRIBUNE of las Monday, conveying authentic intelligence of a most unfertunate condition of things in the Eplscopalian Church of this diocese, viz: open antagonism and hostilities bettveen the latty and Bishop Welles. The telearam annonnced the result of a secret meeting of lay members of the parishes of St. Paul, St. James, and St. John, at which an address was odopted for dis- tribution protesting ngainst the cathe- dral chapter scheme innugurated by Bishop Armitago and furthered by his succeseor; also against the manner in which the miesfon funds are being distributed by the Bishop. The publication of this address was foreed by the tclegram to Tne TRinuNe, and has ere this been read by all who feel an inter- est in the controversy. Hence there i8 no ne- cessity of repeating s salient features here. In private conversation the laymen at the head of this movement claim that they are actuated by amotive to sccure a more rapid increase of growth fn the Church. They say that the Prot- estantism of the nincteenth century is antazo- nistic to the ccelesiasticism of the fourteenth century, which fourd its main strength to lie in centralization: They say that the attempt to establish a cathedral chapter is calculated to give a dietatorial power that they cannot ap- prove of, vecause 1t is in _conflict with our Dem- oratic ideas, derived from contact with a democratic form of government. ‘They say that ceatralizationis an extreme Iigh Church.bobby, and as such has caused thousands of youns men, imbued with the liberality of the age, to stray from the mother church st least tem- porarily, content to remain without the fold as long as their ideas do not harmonize with those of the masters within the fold. Itis the intention, in thus ovposing the spirit of centralization, to win these youns men back from what_cannot strictly and truthfully be prouounced the crror of their ways; to increase thus the membership of the parish churches, and strenathen the hands of the parish rectors in the dircction of success- ful spiritual lsbors. ‘They claim that they are to the Bishop personally, but, on the , hold hitn in high esteem 18 a pureand true Chiristian, ‘To opaose his position in rela- tion to the Cathedral Chapter does not, in their obinlon, impair bis power to sccomplish the zood work connected with bis hioh office. They pro- fess to wish him well; and express a desire to wrench him from the grasp of u small handful of designing clergy, in obedience to whose be- hests he, has undertaken a task the accomplish- ment of ‘which must /brove injurious to the fu- ture welfare of :the church. = ‘This, in bricf, is the attitude of the protest- ing laity. On the other. hand, the friends of Bishon Welles and the mission churches that have been organized, and are being successfully couducted under his fosteriug care, claim thut the ideas put forth in the address are 2 mere subterfuge, a delusion, and a snare, They claim that all this hostility, or at least the greater portion of it, lias rrown out of the division of old St. John’s Parish and the estab- Tishmeut of Trinity Mission Parish on territory formerly embraced by it through sufferance, and not from auy established rigbt under the established form of church government. This hostility they attribute to the Rev. Dr. Keene and the supporters of St. John’s Parish Church. They recognize the fact, also, that the establish- ment of “All Saints’ i’urlsil. with its * Cathe- dral” Church. embittered the laymen sup- porters of old 8t. Paul’s Church and Parish, from which ull of the other parishes have sprung into existence. ‘They denounce the course ot the Rev. Dr.Fulton, the present Rector of old St. Paul’s Parish, in opposing the Bishop and his Cathedral plau, beeause it 1s in marked obediencoe to the behests of the members of his flock rather than any con- victions of his own. They characterize the wen- tleman very irrevcrently as a_** carpet-bagger,” and suggest that the fact of bis ba!nfi compara- tively a strapeer in these parts ought to have led him to waintain a discrect silence, at least for the time being, with reference to existing differences. The opinfon is freely expressed by these people that the partics most deeply inter- ested in this movement against the church be- long to the *‘ rule or ruin ™ class. In support of this opinion the treatment meted out to the Revs. J. C. Richmond, H. W. 'hompson, and iwo Rectors of St. James’ Church is cited, and not without desired. effect, for in, each -of these cases great wrongs were unquestionably perpetrated, and that by individuals whose contribationt went far to- ward making up the aggrepate necessary to maintain_the churches tith which they were conuected. This gave them a leverage that they Aid not fail to use in the accomplishment of per- sonal ends, regardless of the spiritual welfare of the divine Institutions involved. ‘Ta%ken gll io all, the strife now existing in this ‘Episcopal Diocese is of a most interesting char- acter, and the result will be watched with the deepest interest. Opinion appears to be pretty equally divided as to the two sides to the ques- tion. BROILING A CLERGYMAN. The iuvestigation of the mabagement, or rather mismanagement of the County Hospital, has developed a phase eotirely unexpected even by the membersof the Joint Committee of the County Board of Supervisors, to whom the duty was intrusted. It appears that the Rev. E. R. Ward, Rector of Christ Episcopal Mission Church and publisher of the Western Church, impeached the character of one Will< inms, who testified strongly against the man- agement of the Hospital. In retaliation, the members of the Committee who are of the opinfon that reforms must be established at the institntion subpmnaed witnesses to impeach the character of the reverend gen- tleman, - and he now finds himself charged with drunkenness, dishonesty, and untruthfulness. ‘The broiling process to which he has been sub- Jjected proves most disagreeable, of course, but he faces bis enemies with wonted cheerfulness. Tt fs due to Mr..Ward to state that his conduct as a minister of the Gospel has given general satisfaction to his congrezation. The members of Christ Church are indignaunt at this deliberate departure from the businessin hand for the purpose of blasting the reputation of 2 man who Is the superior of every member of the Com- mitte, - and most asssurcdly the superior of the people undergoing investization. Not even, Mr. Ward will aeny that *he has wused intoxicating liquors at some period in his lifo, but not recently. The charge of dishonesty and disrezard of the truth will not find many believers, particularly amonz those who know the reverend gentle- man best. Besides, it can be asserted, without fear of coutradiction, that he is the most zealous, earnest, and sintere worker who has ever sought to establish himsell in our midst as a represcotative ot the Episcopalian Chureb, and were there more like him in the ficld the Cburch would occupy a much hizher and better position than it does now in'point of numbers and influence. -1t is nothing to Mr. Ward’s discredit thot Le possesses’ & jol- 1y disposition and a fondness for fleld sports. These afford recrestion to an often_overtasked mind. Were other divines like Mr. Ward, there would be more ruddy countenances and fewer eonsumptives occupy- ing the palpits of the city than we are in the haoit of sceing. MORE SCARED THAN IXURT. ‘When Mayor Black reached Galveston on his return from the City of AMlexico, he was met by friends who told him that his presence was very much required at home, as matters had gone wrong during his absence, and his administra- tion was fast falling into disrepute. The mail brought many letters of similar purport, written by lending Democrats. Uunder these circumstances his Honor imagined that he would find Milwaukee in a condition bordering on anarehy, and came back in no very smiable mood, it is to be presumed. A day of careful investigation, however, cansed him to announce to the alarmed Democrats that matters are in 1o worse shapo than he found them oo the day after the clection last Novemver, when the Re- publicans carried the city by such a handsome majority, and that the prospect of recovering from the defeat then sutfered had mot been lessened in the least. In his opinion there has been o great hue and ecry over a slight misunderstanding of the “motives _ which governed the action of Acting-Mayor Hobart; 8 misunderstunding that can easily be remedied without decimating the pariy ranks to any greater extent than they are already known to be decimated. He evidently would bave his friends believe that Mr. Hobart meant well if he did not do well. But it is hard to make the frec-thinising liberal leaguers, all-night saloon- Kcepers, and proprietors of Sunday-night dance- bouses believe this, At apy rate, while the Mayor mav continue to stand well with them, it will not do for Ar. Hobart to seck further re- wards at the hands of his party, especially in the German portion of the city where he re- gides. In the language of the poet, heis “a dead duck.” TWEDDINGS. At St. Gall’s Churcl, on Monday evening, the Rev-Father Latumicre united in marriaze Mr. A. W. Bardwell and Miss Kate Fahey. The wedding was 2 quiet affair. On the same day, at 5 o’clock p. m., Mr. J. J. Colemsn, agent of the Wiscousin Central Rail- road at Hilbert, Calumet County, was wedded to Miss Mary Canty, at St. John’s Cathedral, by the Kev. wather Keogh.' Miss Nollie Canty officiated as bridesmaid, and Mr. Edward Horri- £an as groomsman, A reception followed the marriage, at the residence of the parents of the bride, No. 209 Ninth street. After a brief scason of hund-shakingand congratulation, the young couple departed for their futurchoe in Hitbert. At Wausau, Wis., on Tuesday, Mr. J, J. Sher- man, of this city, was united in marriage to Mary Dengle, of that place, by the Rey. T. Richard. At St, Louis, a few days since, Mr, J. E.

ENTERTAINMENTS: The Sunday Lecture Society is arranging for an entertainment, unique in character and mam- moth in proportions, to talke placefat the Acad- emy of Musicin ahout four weeks. The plans for the affair are fully formed, but are not yet made public. The arrangements are in the bands of Mr. M. Almy Aldrich, until recently onc of the proprietors of the News, aided by a committee of influential citizens, of which BAr. A. W. Rich is Chairman. It is intimated that an_entertainment whose like in attractions and proportions hus ngyer . been scen in this part of .the .country will be given, and the fragmentary aunouncements made in regard to the matter have already aroused public curiosity. The Sunday Lecture Society, by the way, claims to beina most ‘hopeful condition, and will endeavor to prove, by the proposed entertainment, that it is by no means dead, as has beep reported. ‘The Milwaukee Theatre variety troupe occu- pled the boards at the Opera-House throughout the entire week, dnd drew good houses. This is an exception to the average experience of the past two mouths. Last nizht and to-night Fannv Davenport ap- eared at the Aesdemy of Music with an excel- lent company and favorite plays.

According to a schiedule prepared ot the office of the Board of Public Works, the amount of sewer-work to be done the coming scasont will be less than Jast year. 1in the west sewerase dis- trict the fund is to be exha d, but in the east, and- south districts little will be done fn com- parison with former seasous, because no press- ing necessity for much additional sewerage ex- ists.

An adjonrned meeting of the Vessel-Owners’ Association was held yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the Arbitration Committee of the Board of Trade for the purpose of hearing the report of a committee appointed at & previous meeting to draw up & circular to be sent to the owners of vessel interests on the lakes calling attention to certatn reforms which have been considerably agitated of late. The mecting was called to order about 8 o'clock, Mr. George C. Tinneys President of the Association, in the chair. : The report of the Committce referred to was read by Mr. Jacob Johnson, and was in the form of a circular, as follows: To Owcners of Vessel Inlercsts on the Lakes : As an association of vessel interests at this pori, we take the Jiberty of asking your co-operation to devise fome plan by which our iuterest and prop- ertycan be beneflticd, OUur experience must cer- tainly eonvince any owners of the necessity of such 8 measure, and, 13 a plan, we would suzest that a local Board of Vessel-Owners be estabtisned at the different large shipping points of the 10 regmlate freights out of such a por: by rates estublishcd by & BBoard of Directors of such Board of Vessel-Owners as there located, they 10 fssuc a rute of freizi for guidance of vwners, ‘agents, and brokers of vessels to be chartered, -such rafes to be altered at the direction of tne Doard of Directors only. We think these engrestions are in order for the reason that none undcrstood the sun- plyand cemand at the dilfercnt points better than jnen interested ana on the spot. Under this sye- tem of a local Dioard of Dircctors they becoine wides not ouly for themselves, but for il carriers n that part. ‘Tne rectprocal benefits from such a Evstem appears to us self-evident. The main point of course is this (Chicago). The extublishing of a Tionrd of Dirccturs, meeting every day_before Chanze hour, agreeing npon an ** asking » figure for the day, making a concerted action on the part of the agents necessary, will no doubt he an'imn- provement on the rivalry of action shown at vres- ent in the busincss whicl, we believe, hay acted detrimentaily to our interests. N This circalar i3 for # plan of matual action among us if the intercsts can be reconciled, and we ask your immediate co-operation and the ap- pointment of representatives to mcet at some point ta convene an Inland Vessel-Owners' Con- vention for the consideration of these matters, which, we have cverv reason to believe, can be made a mutnal benefit to control and sup own property. e would susgest that rep tives_meet at Cleveland.

The baking-powder business of the Ubited States is enormous. Many millions ot dollars are Invested in it. Mr. Hoagland, President of the Royal Baking-Powder Company of this city, says: ‘I cannot go fnto detalls; but we aell many millions of pounds of baking-powder every year. ‘We are by a larze odds the most extensive man- ufacturers in the business, but outside of our’ menulactory there are millivns more sold. We send millions of cans a year to every part of the civilized world. We shipped a large cunsigir ment to Yokohama last week. Reporter—How many other baking-powder companies ave there in this city and’ in the United States? ¢ Mr. Hoagland lsughed lonz and toudly. “Well,” he replied after a while, I suppose there are several thousand in ull. Why, everv town and village in_the United States has its own manufactory of baking-powder, sometimes several in the same town, in addition to the baking-powders ordered from us and the other baking-powaer companies of this city. One of the most prolific sourves of adulteration is this village manuiacture of baking-powder, for many of these baking-powder companies are unseru- pulous manufacturers of ufum baking-powders, which are sold in bulk—that Is, not canned, and without any trademark on them. It is unsafe to buy baking-powder in bulk. For my part, 1 am in favor of establishing chemical analysis bureaus and hoards of bealth in every State in the Union, whose business it shall be to exam- ine, test, and analyze, free of cost to the purchaser, every article of food that is made. That is the only way to put a stop to the evil. As it is now, any grocer can sell a baking-powder oranv other article in bulk without any name or label attached, and call it under the name of any reputable brand, and thercby make a larger profit than on the standard goods. Dr. Mott, the Government chemist, in his review of the subject in the Scientiflc American, advises the public to avoid purchasing baking-powders as sold loose or in bulk, as he found by analysis of many samples that the worst adulterations are practiced fn this form. The label and trade- mark ofa well-known und responsible manufac- turer, he adds, is the best protection the public can have. * I will-give you an ivstance of this kind of deception. Not long ago we sent one of our agents West to learn to what extent baking- pasvders in bulk were betag sold uuder the name of Royal. In_ Chicago our agent employed 2 detective, and went into every crocery, street by street, and asked each one whether he sold Koyal Baking-Powder. He was invariably an- swered * Yes," and when he asked whether they woutd sell him the sawe powder in bulk, cach grocer as promptly responded * Yes’ to that, tgo. Quragent bought in bulk in this_way what they eold to him and others as Royal Baking-Powder as many as S00 pounds from different grocers. And of the 2,000 and up- ward grocers in Chicago over half were selling 2 baking-powder as Royal, while they ail knew, just as well as_we do_ourselves, that we never sell the Royal Baking-Powder in any form ex- cept in cans containing from one to five pounds cach, and each cau bearing our label and trade- mark. Whatis true of Chicago is true aiso of every other place visited by our agent.” Reporter—This would appear to be an imposi- tion on the innocent purchasers as well as an injury to yourselves. Have you any redress? Mr. Hoagland—Yes; I have already given in- structtons to our azents in Chicazo to coliect cvidence of such deception, and, at the proper time, will take the necessary Jegal measures to protect both ourselves aud the people. On the plantations these alum powders work like & charm among the negroes and the “poor whites,” who are forced to economize to a degree that makes the two or three pennies less in the price of a pound 'a matter of financial importance. When our agents warned some of the grocers in Louisiana und Mississippi of the naturrof the alum baking-powders, they-did not hesitate to say, *“Whatg do we care? The. negroes do not koow avy better, and we must mako our mouey.” This sbows the pecessity for ghiemical analysis burcaus and honest boards of health. But, since they are not yet estab- lisised, it is the duty of the press to” aid pur- chasers in exercising intellizent discrimination in buying, and at the same time to urge the es- tablishment by legislation of competent boards of health and burcaus of chemical analysis. . Reporter—How, long bave baking-powders been in use? MMr. Hoagland—About fifteen years. We were the pionicers in the business, I believe. Thirty- five years ugo, perbaps, it was discovered that pear] ash, or. ssleratus, .and _afterwards bicar- bonate of soda, could be used to leaven biscuit dough or batter of buckwheat or other flour in conjunction with sour milk. But as this means of makingbiscuit or cakes was subject to manv aceidents on account of the uncertatn and frreg- ular degree of acidity of the milk used, it was suggested that if cream of tartar or tartaric acid could be. combived in a powder in precisely the proper quautities to form the requisite chem- ical combination containing neither too much acid nor too much sods, it Would make an inval- uable cooking compound. Alter much experi- menting the present form of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda powder was found to be just the thing needed. I'he use of such baking- powders, though comparatively unknown fficen vears axo, has become of uviversal use in Amer- jcan famulies. 1t forms the privcipal or staple leaven of American breads, just as malt yeast docs of European. Reporter—!iave you ever used alum in your bakiug-powders in the place of cream of tartar? Mr. lioagland—Never. We have from the first discovery that alum was used opposed it on the- ground "of certain knowledge on our part that it was injurious. Reporter—Ilow was- the afscovery first made that alum could be used instead of cream of fartar in making baking-powder? : Mr. Hoagland—1 do not know, but we, the Royal Baking-Powder Company, made the dis- covery thut it was used for that purpose about two years azo. We made the discovery through an analysis of certain cheap baking-powders on the market by our own chemist. When the United States” Government advertised, twoy years ago, for bids aud estimates for various| Supolies for the ludian Department, we madean, offer and estimates of prices at which we could furnish the Koyal Baking-Fowder to the Depart- ment. . = In submitting our offer we called attention to the fact that alum was beiny substituted for crean of tartar by several manufacturers, and that perbaps the Government might be im- posed upon. After our latter was read by the Commission- ers of the Indian Department they appointed Dr. Heory A, Mott, Jr., to nuui;‘ze all the pow- ders offered the Department. We did not know Dr. Mott until after be had analyzed the torty- two powders spoken of in nis report and had printed the result of his lnyestizations; yet there arc some manufacturess who say that we, are doing this thing to drive all other and! smaller manufacturers out of the market. We are willing to encourage and compete fairly witlt any cream of tartar baKinz-powder manu- facturer; but we acknowledge that we do wish to drive all alum bakivg-powder manufecturers out of the market, aud we think we are doing a service to the country thereby which entitles us to - fair share of patronage. ~A fair share is all that we ask. But, il we are_manufacturers, we have some patriotic motive in this investiration und agitation of the question outside of our financlal interests. A prowing interest has of late been aroused on the subject of the adulteration of all articles of food, amdl especially of bread by alum in the form of baking-powders. In Connecticut it is proposed to evlarge the owers of the Agricultural Chemical Anslysis arcau, so that, in addition to the fertilizers whicn are now analyzed for the farmer free of cost, he may also bave analyzed his articles of food. Chicago and Boston have entered warmly into the discussion of the adulteration of food since the agitatfon began.—New York Sun. — e ——— SUBURBAN NEWS, EVANSTON. Dr. G. C.

No kind of treatment, or meditine, or doctors, during this time did me any permanent good, My friends in Malden and elsewhere know that I have been a reat sutferer, and that my condition at times hay cen such as 10 make me despair of ever being able to tind a care or even a relief. In fact, when 1 be- gan the use of CuTicura, my limb wag €0 raw ana tender that I could not bear my woight on if with- without the ekin crucking and bleeding, and was obliged to go about on crutches. 1 commenced to use the Cuticara in April and at_once realized its beneflcial efects. Itgradnally drew the inflamma- tion and humor to the surfuce, and 28 fast as it ap- penred, bealed it. At times large quantities would come to the rurface, causing barring neat, inflam- mation, aweliing, and itcoinz, which, under the constant use of Cuticura, would rapidly sabside wnd heal.
