The annulled edict was orig- inally issued because of the establishment, as it was claimed. of fraternal relations with the Grand Orient of France by the supreme body of the Cerneau rite, and it is now annulled as the Cerneau body has disclaimed any act or thing showing want of loyalty to Ancient Craft Masonry.

Eagar Griffin, Tired of Life, Ends His| No Boundary Line Except that of the | Hagerstown’s Trouble With Laudanum. Edgar Griffin's dead body was found in his room yesterday and from letters he left in the apartment it is evident that he committed sui- cide by drinking iaudanum. Griffin was an old soldier and had been an inmate of the Sol- diers’ Home for several years, Nearly six months ago, however, he went to Brinkman's boarding house, No. 622 Pennsylvania avenue, and rented a room. Recently he has been gaged as a collector for several merchants in the city and appeared to earn a good living. Several weeks ago he suffered from an attack of pneumonia and upon his recovery he began drinking to excess. He was last scen alive Sunday. His failure to appear at the table afterward and the fact of his room door being locked aroused the susp ins of the landlord, and about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon one of the boarders, A. Shroder, met Sergeant Brosnan and Policeman Jamison and told them of the condition of affairs. THE DEAD BODY FOUND. The officers went to the house and, at Mr. Brinkman’s request, they broke open the door, Stretched upon the bed they found the lifeless and discolored body of Griffin, who had evi- dently committed suicide Sunday. Coroner Patterson was immediately notified and when he went to the house two notes written by Griffin were found in the room. _In one letter the unfortunate man told of his detern ion to kill himself, and in it he gave the imforma- tion that he had taken a bottle of laudanum. In the other he requested that Gen. Wuleox and Mrs. Lavinia Chase of the Soldiers’ Home be notified of his death, as he was certain they would give him a decent buat The body was removed to the morgue and information of his death was sent to Soldiers’ Home. The coroner after a fuil investigation of the circumstances gave a certificate of death in ac- cordance with the facts and the remains will probably be interred at Soldiers’ Home. UNDER THE GLASS. Dr. Balloch’s Talk at the Soiree of the Microscopical Soctety. The sixth annual soiree of the Microscopical Society took place last night at the High School. The large exhibition hall was well filled when the members filed in, a few minutes after $ o'clock, and took seats on the platform, Dr. E. A. Balloch, president of the society, de- livered a brief address on the subject “Micro- scopy for the Layman.” In the course of his remarks Dr. Balloch said: “We are glad to know that you take interest ia the efforts of our society, but we wish that your interest in the microscope were perennial instead of an- nual. To most people the microscope is an ob- ject of some awe, and it is my desire to show you whata layman may do with a compara- tively cheap instrament and few accessories, You may say that the use of the microscope will give you entertainment only. This is a mistake. “In everyday life even it nay be made useful. Thus if you bay an ail-wool garment and on examination find two fibers of cotton to one of wool you may be sure that you have been imposed upon. So with many other things. — With a little practice you can tell adulterants in tea, mustard and in fact almost ali the staples of life. As a means of amusement the micro- scope is invaluable. The tired chant who takes down his mi baby amines any convenient object through a is at once in another world. The microscope is, of ail optical instruments, the most practi cal and decidedly one of the most interestin, THE EXHIBITION, At the conclusion of the president's address the audience was invited down stairs toone of the large halls, where 53 microscopes had been set up with an interesting exhibit fixed in exch. The specimens were of all sorts,ranging from butterfly scales and mosquito eggs to crystals of amygdolin. There were many times as many people as there were instruments. but all had their turn and ail were highly inter- ested by the exhibition, which showed great skill and progress among the members of the society, ———-__ A Lost Virginian Found Here.

Columbia in the coming census should be re- garded as a whole, or the abolished corporate limits be recognized and a separate census of Washingto n, Georgetown and the county made, has been brought to the attention of Superin- tendent Porter. A few days ago he received the following letter from the Washington Board of Trade, through the president, Mr. M. M. Parker: “Tinclosea very sensible letter I have received from Alfred Williams relative to the census of Washington, which jin his judgment should in- clude the entire District of Columbia. It seems that in 1830 it only embraced the old city of Washington, We, therefore, lost about 77.000. Of course every city is anxious to make the best possible showing, The District of Columbia is governed by a set of Commis- Sioners, and it seems to me that the census should show the entire population of the Dis- tict as representing Washington. I should be very glad if such ruling could be made as would give Washington the benefit of the entire popu- lation of the District. Such cities as Boston, Philadelphia and New York take in suburbs for miles around. It is a matter of pride for every resident of Washington to know that the city is growing rapidly. and if the census can be taken so as to include the District it is thought we will have a showing of about 300,000 people.” Yesterday Superintendent Porter sent the following reply to President Parker: *T have yours of April 18, inclosing a letter from Mr. Alfred Williams, relative to the | population to be included in the city of Wash- lington, ‘The abotition of the charters of Wash- ington and Georgetown in 1872 left those names with very indefinite application, but it appears to this office that at present, owing to the rapid expansion of urban population over the Dis- trict, that it should be regarded as Washing- ton as far as the District boundaries Youthful Crap Players Captured. “Cut it sharp,” said a “crap shooter,” on a vacant lot near 7th and G streets northeast yes- terday as a policeman in citizen's clothes assed a crowd of colored boys who were ‘shakin’ de bones” for a “jack pot.” It was Policeman Schulze were sent down to break up the game. ‘The appearance of the “biue coats” trightened the young gamblers and they seat- tered in various directious to escape. —Ofticer Schulze captured Frank Taylor and John Brown and Sergeant Wall pursued Henry Courtney, ninth precinct station, when Lieut.

To the Editor of Tux EVENING Stan: Noticing the item in a recent issue refer- ring to a proposed combination of government employes who borrow money monthly, I beg to encroach upon your valuable space to say a word from a business man’s standpoint. It occurs to me that while the government employe has the great privilege of drawing part of his salary on the 15th of each mouth and the balance is paid him regularly at the end of the month, without deduction or discount, he cannot have any very great need of borrowing money, or realizing wpon his pay before it is earned, and at enormous interest. The very fact that he is in steady government employment will ger ally establish a credit for him with the leg. mate business community, provided he known, or can furuish satisfactory business u he sometimes grumbles if he is charged a nowual rate of interest for the accommodation to him, We ought to have here in this city the most prompt paying people in the country, and it seems to me that instead of an orguuization to enable them to borrow money there should be some movement on the part of the heads of the several departments of | the government to compel employes to pay up their debts due to business people for support about the noon hour, and Sergeant Wall and | who turned into 9th street near the | Franklin Square and | year it is so very 1 ched the center of the | e and persons hastening | Hacerstowx, April 2% At the special election held here yesterday the citizens of Hagerstown decided by a ma- jority of 547 out of a total vote of 1,213 to create a fund of $30,000 for drainage and street im- provement purposes.

The United States Official Report, recently issued, shows that 75 per cent. of the baking powders exam- ined contain alum or ammonia or both. Some of these adulterated powders have for years been palmed off on the public as absolutely pure cream of tartar baking powders, and through this false claim have gained a large sale in this city. e Realizing the great danger to health and life from the use of adulterated food, housekeepers should at once test the baking powder they are using, no matter what the brand or what the manufacturers’ claim may be. The following test is simple and effective ; any housekeeper can make it in a few moments and thus settle the important question. Mix in a tin cup or other small suitable vessel, one heaping teaspoonful of the powder with one teaspoonful of water, or a little more water if required to wet the powder to the consistency of paste. Place it over a hot fire, stir to pre- vent burning, and let it boil rapidly for a few moments, At intervals lift the cup from the fire, and smell, and if the faintest odor of ammonia is detected, the baking powder is adulterated with ammonia and probably with alum, and should be avoided as injurious to health, “The adulteration of baking powder with ame monia is, in my opinion, an injury to the public health. It deserves the severest condemnation and should be brought to the attention of physicians and boards of health throughout the country. Cleveland's baking powder being pure and free from ammonia, lime, alum, terra alba, or any adulteration whatever, and having great leavening power, I do not hesitate to recommend as worthy of public confidence for produc ing light, digestible and wholesome bread.” JAMES F.
