Over 500 loaves “of bread were entered. in the contest, and the prizes were dis- tributed to those who were judged to have the lightest, whitest and most nutritious bread. The manufacturers of “Ceres” Flour conceived the idea after the contest was over of ascertaining from the winners of the prizes and those who re- ceived honorable mention what brand of flour they had used in making their prize loaves, and the fact was ascertained all the prize winners “had used Ceres” Flour. This universal and over- whelming proof of ‘‘Ceres’” su- periority was hardly expected even by the manufacturers them- selves, and it was all the more gratifying because they had nothing to do with the inaugu- ration of the contest or the awarding of prizes. Mrs. H. N. Rose, Mrs. A. J. McGurdy, Mrs. R. Rivers, winners of the Ist, 2d and 3d prizes, respectively, and Mrs. Ball, Mrs. W. W. Hough and Miss Emily Gaines, who re- * ceived honorable mention in the contest, all used “Ceres” Flour in making their prize loaves. The “best” flour is bound to make the “BEST” bread.

NOT A CANDIDATE. His Reasons Are Two-Fold—Business Interests Too Great. From the New York Herald. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. 1895.—William C. Whitney’s rumored candi- dacy for President is positively denied by one of Philadeiphia’s most prominent finan- ciers, who is closely connected with Mr. Whitney in the traction syndicate and other enterprises. He declined to have his name used, but he has given consent that what he said be used publicly. He says that it Is true that when President Cleveland visited Mr. Whit- ney on the occasion of Miss Whitney's mar- riage he and his ex-Secretary of the Navy did discuss naticnal politics at the meeting between them, but it is true also that Mr. Whitney’s name was not mentioned in con- nection with the democratic nomination, nor did Mr. Cleveland express a desire that Mr. Whitney should become the democratic standard bearer in next year’s presidential struggle. Emphatic in His Answer. The Philadelphian, who is closely asso- ciated with Mr. Whitney in business, asked him a day or two ago to define his position on the question of his becoming the demo- cratic nominee for President. He wanted to know for business reasons. Mr. Whitney is sald to have been emphatic in his answer. “J have denied that report so often,” he is quoted as having said, “that I do not in- tend paying any more attention to it. But to you I will repeat that which I have so often publicly stated, ‘Under no consi tion will I accept the nomination for Presi- dent.’ My objections are two-fold. First, I have no desire to sacrifice my business in- terests, which I would be compelled to do if my candidacy resulted in my election; and, second, I have no desire to be relegat- ed to oblivion, and this is the fate of many men after their presidential term or terms end. You can rest assured that my name will not head the democratic presidential ticket next year,” concluded Mr. Whitney. He Meant Every Word He Said. “And he meant every word he said,” re- marked the Philadelphian to whom Mr. Whitney made the above statement, and who is the Herald’s informant. “Mr. Whitney knew,” he continued, “that it was necessary I should know his true po- sition in the matter. His statements, there- fore, is to be wholly relied upon, and you have my permission to repeat it, though I prefer that my name be not used in con- nection with it.” WHITNEY ovember 15, Brilliant Close of the Electrical Workers’ Convention. THE NEW OFFICERS §=— ELECTED Next Meeting Will Be Down in Texas. RECEPTION LAST NIGHT The fourth biennial session of the Na- tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers is a thing of the past, all the business having been completed. The vote in favor of holding next year’s convention at San Antonio, Tex., was unanimous. The election of officers for the ensuing two years resulted in the re-election of H. W. Sherman of Rochester, N. ¥., as grand president. In order to comply with the terms of some changes in the constitution, one of which divided the United States into five districts, and another separated the offices of grand secretary and treasurer, the following vice presidents were elected: Frank J. Roth of Kansas City, Mo.; J. H. Maloney of San Antonio, Tex.; P. H. Wis- singer of Baltimore, Md.; E. Colvin of Bos- ton, Mass., and A. F. Snyder of Chicago. Mr. J. T. Kelly of St. Louis, who has been . F. Snider. grand secretary-treasurer for the past four years, was elected grand secretary, and Mr. John Hisserich, also of St. Louis, was chosen treasurer. Resolutions were adopted thanking the daily papers of Washington, especially The Star, for the reports published of the pro- ceedings of the convention; thanking the members of J.ocal Union, No. 26, of this city for the manner in which they enter- tained the delegates and all others who have shown the members of the convention courtesies. Farewell Reception. A farewell reception by Local Union, No. 26, to the delegates was given last night at the headquarters of Union 26, on 7th street. The front of the building and the reception room were beautifully illuminated by elec- tricity and on the wall over the head of the table was a intandsome star formed of numerous small electric lamps. Mr. R. F. Metzel, vice chairman of the banquet committee, who presided, was as- sisted by Mr. Harry Phillips as master of ceremonies. A splendid lunch was served, and after it had been partaken of speeches were made by Grand President Sherman, Grand_ Secreta Kelly, Vice Presidents Roth, Maloney, ssinger and Colvin; C. L. White and others of the visitors and Mil- ford Spohn and George A. Malone of Washington. Mr. Malone also sang a song. while Mr. Dougherty of St. Louis enter- tained the assemblage with dancing. A band of music was present during the en- tire evening. H. W. Sherman. Mr. H. W. Sherman, who was re-elected grand president, was born in Richmond, Va., November 3, 1857. At the age of four- teen he removed with his parents to Wash- ington, D. C., ani in 1876 entered the elec- trical business. In pursuit cf his calling he has traveled all over the United States, but is row settled in Rochester, N.Y. where he is employed as 1 all-aroun man by the Rochester and Elestric Company. Grand Secretary Kelly. Grand Secretary Kelly was born in Penn- sylvania in 1862 and spent his boyhood on a farm. After graduating from the Sus- qguehanna Collegiate Institute in 1883 he went west and drifted into the electrical business. He worked in Chicago during 1884; Detroit, 1885; Cleveland, 1886; New Orleans, 1887, and’ in a number of cities from New Orleans to St. Paul during 1888-9. Mr. Kelly settled in St. Louts in the lat- ter part of 18S) and has since made that city his home. He was a charter member of the first union of electrical workers, which was known as the Wiremen’s and Linemen’s Union of St. Louis, and was a delegate to the first convention of Electrical ner: P. H. Wissinger. Workers, which organized the National Brotherhood, when he was elected grand secretary-treasurer, and has been re-elected at each succeeding convention. When, three years ago, the brotherhood decided to have “an official journal, Mr. Kelly was chosen editor. This paper—The Electrical Work recognized as one of the leading trade papers of the United States, Grand Treasurer. Grard Treasurer John Hisserich was born in Germany in 1865, and came to this coun- try with his parents in 1879. The family settled in St. Louis, where John began active life with the Heisler Electric Com- pary two years later. When about twenty @be0eee 96009 SOSSESSEOSENI Soca nene an ae ENDED IN GAYETY| 2 2t=mnrs women Any cre who bas ever met Dr. Salisbury will never forget him. Although over eighty, he has as bright a :nind avd intellect as most younger men, Of cotrse, every one knows him as the inventor of hot water cure and the Salisbury steak, and that he is the authority on digestion and stomachie troubles. “I studied the subject direct from nature," he said. “In order to krow just how much nourisising. power there was in various foods, I employed four men whose only duty it was to remain in the house with me snd eat such food only as I directed. They thought they had secured the finest kind of @ po- sition. I began by taking a diet of beans, and in thirteen days there was not a man who could walk across the room. I myself was nearly prostrated. After recovery we tried varlous other vegetables, A person can live eighteen days on oatmeal and twenty days on cracked wheat.” “What are the most unbealthful things, doctor?” was asked. “The most unhealthful vegetable in the world is asparagus. No man or woman can exist to exceed seven days on this insidious vegetable. Why it is that people bave gotten the idea that it is healthy ful I cannot understand, unless it is from the pecu- liar odor it gives to the fluids that pass from tbe Uedy. Some people believe it is healthful for the kidneys, but there Is nothing which I know of that is more injurious. As for beef, it is sustaining and strengthening, ard invalids should take it as nich as possible and avoid such vegetables as they know to be unhealthful. — years old he concluded to visit the farther west, and for several succeeding years worked in all the principal cities, where he is well and favorably known. He took charge of the Municipal Electric Light and Power Company of St. Lovis in 180, but later secured a more lucrative position with the Bell Telephone Company, and has been in their empioy ever since, with the exception of cne year spent at inside work. At present he is in the engineering depart- mcnt of the company, having been pro- moted a nvmber of times. He joined Union No. 1 in March, 1892, and has been a delegate to the last three national conventions. —__.__ THE MEN’S SOCIETY. Entertaining Talk in the Church of the Covenant Chapel. Last cvening the regular monthly meet- ing of the Men’s Society of the Church of the Covenant was held in the chapel of the church. In eccordance with the custom of the socicty, a business meeting was held in one of the upper rooms, beginning at 7:30, Shortly after 8 o'clock this meeting came to an end, and the members received the in.vited guests in the chapel. The president of the society, Mr. Louis P. Whitaker, pre- siced, and after an organ solo, which was finely rendered by Prof. Charles J. Toof, the organist of the church, he introduced the speaker of the evening, Mr. William Ellercy Curtis. It would be more correct to say that the president made some prefa- tcry remarks, for Mr. Curtis is a member of the society, and last year was its eff- cient president, and therefore needed no in- troduction. Mr. Curtis’ subject was some odd things that he observed during his re- cent visit to Japan, and his talk proved en- tertaining and interesting. Mr. Curtis must be a gvod traveler, but it fs certain that he ts a gcod otserver, and knows how to tell what he ees ard hears. He touched upon various phases of life in Japan, and at the close of his address he exhibited sev- eral handsome articles of native costume. A number of albums filled with fine photo- graphs illustratirg more especially the occupations of the Japanese were examined by those present at the close of the address. A baritone solo was rendered with fine effect by Mr. Frank Reeside, Prof. Toof playing the accompaniment on the piano. An enthusiastic encore followed, and in re- sponse Mr. Reeside rendered another selec- tion, which brought out the sympathetto avality of his splendid voice. Refresh- ments were served, and the balance of the evening was spent in social enjoyment. —_—_—___ THE GALVESTON CUP. The Thurston Rifles, Not Disbanded, According to Lieut. Foye. The reported claim cf the Morton Cadets for the possession of the Galveston semi- centennial championship cup, because of the allegetl disbandment of the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb., has been the sub- ject of much comment not only in this city but ameng military men generally through- out the country interested in interstate competitive drills. Capt. Shilling this after- noon received the foilowing communication relating to the matter from First Lieut. W. J. Foye, commanding the Thurston Rifles: “I notice from press reports that you have filed protest against the Thurston Rifles’ possession of the Galvestoa chal- lerge cup—that this action of yours is caused by direct informetion from Omaha of a reliable person to the effect that the Thurstcn Rifles have been disbanded since returning from Memphis. If you have filed any such protest you are cvidently acting in good faith, but certainly under a misap- prehension, which, if followed might lead to considerable embarrassment for you and your company. The Thurston B ganized October, 1803, and must the Nebraska National Guard December, 1893, as company L, first regiment infantry, are now and have been sinc? then the strongest military company in the state, with no thought of disbanding, and, in fact, are now making preparations to protect their title of champion military company of the United States in the interstate con- test next year. If you have received any contrary advices regarding the Thurston Rifles you have been imposed upon, as you can readily verify by writing to the ad- jutant general of this state. I write you the above information that yon may act intelligently in the matter. I will consider it a great personal favor if you will kindly furnish me the name of the party who has so misrepresented our company. ccording to Capt. Shilling the Morton Cadets have made no claim for the cup. When the statement was announced that the Thurston Rifles had disbanded the mat- ter was discussed at some length by the members of the conipany, and several of them drafted a letter to be sent to the ad- jutant general of Texas. On second thought, however, the idea was abandoned, ————— DAUGHTER OF THE CZAR. The Litde Arrival at St, Petersburg Has Been Christened Olga. A daughter was born to the czarina last evening at 9 o'clock at St. Petersburg. Both mother and child are doing well. The little one has been christened Olga. Services con- nected with the birth of the infant were held in accordance with the rites of the Orthodox Greek Church. The czarina (Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna) was born at Darmstadt, Hesse, June 6, 1872. She was the Princess Alix Victoria’ Helen Louise Beatrice of Hesse, and was married to Czar Nicholas 11 on November 26, 1504. In accordance with the laws of Russia, she was renamed Aiexandra Feodorovna and received the title of grand duchess and imperial high- ness. Princess Alix was the daughter of Grand Duke Louis 1V of Hesse and of Alice, sec- ond daughter of Queen Victoria. Her broth- er is the present Grand Duke of Hesse; her sister Irene is the wife of Prince Henry of russia; another sister, Princess El-zabeth, is the wife of Grand Duke Sergius of Rus- sia, and her eldest sister is the wife of Prince Louis of Battenburg. When Princess Alix was but twelve years of age, and while in attendance at the wed- a.ng of her sister Elizabeth, she met Nicho- las, then grand duke, who was in his six- teenth year. ‘The children became attached to each other, but the czarevitch’s affection for the princess was diverted for some time. Six years later her father made a visit to the Russian court, accompanied by Princess Alix, and her presence in the Russian capi- tal was tlg means of renewing their liking for each other, which finally resulted in their marriage. e+ cS LEGISLATURE. A Discovery Which, It is Claimed, Gives the Repnblicans Control, In the contest of Weod (republican), for the seat in the legislature of Kauffman (democrat), a discovery has been made which gives Wood the seat and will thereby ive the republicans a clear majority on Sint pallot in the legislature. It has been discovered that Kauffman’s election, while holding office as a city councilman, was contrary to the statute, and Wood will be seated without further protest. +00 Governor McKinley stated last night, rela- tive to the general suggestion that he be permitted to appoint the district delegates to the national republican convention, that he appreciates the suggestion, but prefers that the selectton of delegates should be left to the republicans.
