Under the direction of the New York State Board of Health, eighty-four different kinds of baking powders embracing all the brands that could be und for sale 1p the State, were submitted to ex- atuination and analysis by Prof. C. F. Chandler, a Inewber Of the state board and president of the City Board of Health, assisted by Prof. Love, the well-known United States Government chemist, ‘The oMicial report Shows that a larze number of the powders examined were found to contain alum or bine; many of them to,such an extent as toren- er thein seriously objectionable for use in the pre- on of human food, Alun Was found in twenty-nine samples, This FUE Is employed in baking powders to cheapen their cost. The preseuce of Hime is attributed, to the uapure cream of tartar of commerce used In their manufacture. Such cream of tartar was ‘jso analyzed and found to contain lime and other impurities; in some samples to the extent of i per cent of their entire weight. ‘All the baking powders of the market, with the Single exception of “Royal” (not including the alum and phosphate powders, which have not the Virtue of even an impure cream of tartar, are Made from the adulterated cream of tartar of com. lneree, and consequently Contain lime to a corre- sponding extent. ‘The ouly baking powder yet found by chemical nalysis to de entirely free from lime and abso- Juvely pure ts the “Koyal” ‘This perfect purity re- sults from the exclusive use of cream of tartar ‘specially refined and prey by patent processes Whieh totally remove the tartrate of and other uppurities, The cost of tnis chemically pure cream of tartar 1s much than any other, and op account of this ‘cost is used in po'baking powder but the “loyal.” Prot.

EXPOSITION BUILDING DECORATED — TRIUMPHAL ARCHES, RLECTKIC TORCHES, FIREWORKS AND EX- CURSIONS FOR THE “BOYS.” A telegram to the New York Herald trom St. Louis, May 26, scys: St. Louis is spreading herself im the arrangements for the national convention. ‘Tne local committees have been hampered to some extent. Still, they will try to make tt one of the most successful gatherings of a political nature ever held in this country, especially in the enter- tainment features. The decorators are now busily at Work on the hall, and if the designs are fully carried opt it will be one of the most imposing auditorifhs that ever echoed to the sound of a democratic yell, The north nave of the Exposi- tion butiding, 320 feet long by 100 wide, has been enclosed for this purpose, At thé east end of the nave a platform has been erected, rising & feet above the floor. On this plat- form the chairman of the convention will be Seated, and behind him and rising in tiers to the letel of the second gallery are seats for the distin- guished guests, arrangements having been made Yo accommodate about five hundred on this stage. 2 a small platform directly tn front of and a little below the chairman the reading clerk will stand, On either side of thls platform, and extesding ‘some 40 feet in front, ts the space ‘assigned to the press. About 50 fect from the stage the first row Of delegates will be seated. From this point the seats are arranged in Uers, until the west. end of the hail is reached, a railing dividing the delegates from the audience in the rear. Two galleries, the lower one provided with boxes, extend the entire length of the hall on either side, the whole seat- ing 13,000 persons, including the members of the convention. ELECTRICITY AND BUNTING. ‘The great glass-arched roof, 100 feet above the floor, admits an abundance of light during the day. At night the hall will be brilliantly illumt- nated by 1,400 incandescent lights, Each of the gal- Jeries willbe draped with bunting in the national colors, and the pillars supporting the galleries Wrapped with the sime material Under the second galiery, the ends attached to the pillars on either side ‘and looped up in the center will be large United States flags. Above and bab of the Stage, covering the great window at the east end of the nave, will be an immense picture of the Capitol at ‘Washington, and suspended directly over the chairman's head will be a great Ameri can eagle. The stage will be lavishly adorned with red, white and blu bunting. Mottoes expressive of party fealty and party principles wii be generousty distributed. ‘The acoustical properties of the hail are excellent, and the delegate who occupies the Seat farthest away from the chair can be heard without difficulty by the presiding officer. Fifty boys between the ages of twelve and fifteen, who have volunteered their services for the good of the party, will do duty as pages on the floor of the convention, ‘They will be furnished with a uniform consisting of a white linen jacket and badge. ARCHES AND DECORATIONS. The Olive-street tllumination, however, will be the most brilliant decorative feature in connection with the event. The street from 4th to 14th, above the Exposition Butiding, will be a blaze of colo lights—red, white and F composed of four double arches of 360 lights is being erected. ‘The arches facing either Way bear the legend, in letters of fire, Louis Greets Democratic Convention.” Double arches, with clusters of lights in ornamental forms,’ span Olive street at 6th, Sth and 10th Street At 12th street 4s another square composed of four immense double arches, and in the arches facing Olive street one reads the well-known motto, “Public OMce a Public Trust.” It takes 15,000 little tongues of flame to form these letters. At 14th two double arches across Olive form the Supports for a gigantic iiluminated portrait of George Washingtoa Ip cathedral glass. This_por- trait is eight feet square, and when tMluminated the features are plainly visible at Sth street, six Diocks away. ‘These arches contain an aggregate Of 14,000 colored lights, and standing on 4th street and ooking west the’ entire street seems roofea with them. ° To add to the brilliancy all tne ligats have beeu removed from the lamp-posts and In thelr places have been inserted great clusters of gas Jets inclosed tn colored globes, Twenty-two thousand candle-power arc-lights are huug in front of the Exposition Building, making Olive Street in front of Uhat structure as ight at Bight as in une day time.

The ene- my’s attack was drawn up by the field marshal, Count von Moltke, himself, and the task set for the crown prince was made as di Mcult as possible. After four hours of incessant marching, countere marching, advancing, retreating and mancuver- ing for every square yard of rising ground or cover, the crown prince succeeded in outmanceuv ering’ lis enemy, and was subsequently most highly compitmented by Count von Moltke for the “quickness of perception, accuracy and, sound military instinct that he gave proof of, and in the admirable manner in which he handled the 7,000 inen under his Command.” The crown prince nat- urally felt very much elated, and this was referred to by the Prince of Wales during a visit he made to the crown prince at the All on Wednesday afvernoon, and it was tien that the crown priuce Said to tbe Prince of “There is no rose withouta thorn; I am a soldier, Ihave taken wwo unen for my models, Frederick the Great and the Emy William.

In the course of a long conversation with Mr. Blaine this morning the name of Roscoe Conkling came up. 1 referred to the story circulating in the home payers to the effect that Mr. Blaine had written a letter to Roscoe Conkling during the campaign of 1884, that 1t had been withheld by the republican national committee, and that, had Mr. Conkling received It, he would have answered ic tn an ope letter, cordially supporting the re- publican Ucket. Concerning this, Mr. Blaine re- plied that there was not the slightest truth in the ‘hat there had been no personal intercourse n himself and Mr. Conkling either by speech or letter for twenty-two years. In all that time Mr. Blaine had refrained absolutely from public or private speech concerning the late Mr. Conkling. r, Blaine added that he had treely given his high estimate of Mr. Conkling’s ability as an orator And & statesman in “I'wenty Years of Congress.” Political Notes, Representative Dingley’s paper, the Lewistown Journal, says that Chairman Manley, of the re- publican state committee, who had come to Wash- ington to confer with the Maine delegation about the campaign in Maine and Mr, Blaine’s interests at Chicago, still believes that if all goes welt Blaine will not turn his back on the united repub- licans of the nation.
