CHE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Inothor Half Day Wasted on Account of the Absence of a Quorum. Hie Committee of the Whole, in the ITouse, Conclndcs Consideration of the General Appropriation Bill. Another half day was practically lost by the Legislature yesterday. There was no quorum daring tho morning in either the Senate or House, and, in consequence, only minor business coaid be transacted. After dragging through an hoar and a half the Senate adjourned until. 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and the remainder of the day’s session was devoted to discussing the bili to prohibit gambling on the grounds of county fairs and the appellate court bill, without resulting in any decided action. The House did more work than the Senate, but the time of the morning session was mostly wasted, on account of there being no quorum. THE GENERAL APPROPRIATION. Tho preliminary consideration of the general appropriation bill in the House by the committee of the whole, was finally concluded, yesterday after more than a week of irregular work. *The only notably important change made yesterday was in adopting an amendment proposed by Representative Kruoger, allowing $20,000 for improvements on the northern penitentiary, to be used in building a hospital for insane and refractory prisoners, a bath-house and purchasing a library. When the bill afterwards came before the* House on second reading, an amendment was proposed by Representative Smith of Tippecanoe, giving $14,750 to Purdue University for new buildings, with the. provision that the money could not be used until an equal suur is raised among the friends of the institution by subscriptiona A motion to lay the amendment on the table was defeated by a*vote, of 46 to 25, which indicates that the amount will be allowed. The leaders in the fight against giving aid to the institution are opposed to any allowance, and there will doubtless D© another prolongod debate over the matter. The question was pending at the time of adjournment last evening, and will probably be resumed when the bill again comes up for consideration to day. THE LIMJT THE END. The action of the House, yesterday, in promptly laying on the table a resolution fixing next Wednesday as the date for tho final adjournment of the Legislature, by the decisive vote 34 to 14, is another indication that the majority are determined to continue the session until the ex piration of the constitutional limit. The leaders in the movement to bring about an agreement to adjourn next week now concede that there is no probability of the session coming to an end within at least two weeks. Representative McMullen, who has been actively urging the proposition to adjourn on next Monday, festerdav remarked to the Journal representative that there were twenty-five bills pending which would have to be disposed of before the members of the House would consent to an adjournment, and the consideration of these bills will occupy the whole of the next two weeks’ time. Other business will arise which will prolong the session, and by proceeding leisurely the remaining nineteen days can be filled in. The session will necessarily have to end not later Ihan April 18, although there is no good reason #by there should not be a final adjournment during the present week.

Minor Mention. The bill which extends the term of County Treasurer Wasson from .September until January, for the purpose of making tlio term of all county officers end uniformly, was engrossed in the Senate yesterday. The skating rink is to be regulated upon the same “law and order” principle as the saloon. A bill was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Rest, which authorizes town and city corporations to “license and regulate” rinks. Representative Krueger yesterday succeeded in injecting the whole of a special bill into the general appropriations. The friends of Purdue University have been trying for several days to pet an allowance of $25,000, or $10,500, or SIO,OOO, or anything for the erection of new buildings, and closely following the desperate struggle over this item in tli6 interest of the upbuilding of an educational institution, Krueger came in, and after a speech of about twenty minutes, secured the adoption of an amendment to the appropriation bill, allowings2o,ooo for improvements about the northern prison. Os this sum. SB,OOO is for a bath, wash and dry-house. $2,000 for machinery, $4 .000 for a hospital for insane and refractory prisoners, $3,000 for boilers and heating apparatus. and SI,OOO for a prison library. Mr. Krueger is evidently a statesman of some potent influence. THE PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL. THE SENATE, A Half Day Without a Quorum, and Little fiuslnciis Transacted* There was no quorum of the .Senate yesterday morning, and in consequence no business requiring a yea and nay vote could be transacted. The morning was devoted to the first and second reading of bills and resolutions. Mr. Bailey introduced a concurrent resolution to instruct Senators and request Indiana Representatives in Congress to use their influence for the more strict enforcement of the national eighthour law, and to amend it so that eight hours shall be the limit of a day's labor in all mechanical and industrial employments, except in agriculture. He said that the resolution was similar in terms to the joint resolution which was intro duced in the Senate some time ago, but was defeated. The resolution was adored. The bill introduced by Senator Benz, providing that life convicts shall be released at tho end of fifteen years, if their behavior is good, was read the second time and ordered engrossed. On motion of Mr. Zimmerman, the bill [H. R. 481 J amending sections 78, 71) and *B3, of the school law, was read the second time, with a favorable committee report. The bill was referred to a special committee, consisting of Senators Weir, Youche and Zimmerman. Afternoon Session. Mr. Smith of Jennings offered a resolution congratulating President Cleveland for his judgment in selecting a member of the Senate [Hon. Rufus Magee) as minister to #wed en and Norway, which was adopted by a Standing vote. The Senate took a recess of five minutes to give members an opportunity of extending congratulations to the senator from Cass. Similar resolutions were offered by Mr,' Johnson of Tippecanoe, and by Mr. Foulke, Which were also adopted. Mr. Weir returned from a committee his bill JS. 3361 allowing any person to hunt on uniu iloacd lands without obtaining the permission of the owners. Mr. Weir, in speaking on the bill, said “All along the Kankakee,hunting clubs from other States have purchased wet lands by the thousand acres. They have stretched one wire around the land, and now say to everybody else, ‘standoff.’ There are but one or two sections in this bill, and understood. It only idlers tc unnliable lands.” Smith of Jay—lt is not right to allow WmVma to come in the State and buy up lands iri Ijatge tracts for sporting purposes, and exclude therefrom citizens of the State of Indiana. This bill ought to pass without question. A motion to print the bill was adopted. t Dr. Day offered a resolution providing that 500 L tate mans shall be printed, showing the conm ‘essional, senatorial and representative dis- ■ icta, for the use of both houses of the general ■ <?9embly. On motion by Mr. Benz the resoluL an was laid on the table. GAMBLING ON FAIR GROUNDS. Mr. Faulkner moved to take up the bill [II. R. 172} to prevent gambling on country fair grounds. The motion was agreed to by yeas 17. nays 2. A majority report of a special committee, reckemmeoding its passage, with umendmohta, and

a minority report recommending the adoption of all the committee amendments, except section 2, were read. Mr. Youclie favored striking out section 2, because it makes the informant the prosecutor and the accuser; it puts too much power in the hands of any one person who thinks he has discovered a violation of the law. It gives extraordinary power. Mr. Foulke —If there is no gambling there will be nobody hurt. When the officers df the fair are notified that there is gambling then they ought to put out the gamblers. I move to substitute the minority for the majority report Mr. Davis—l think section 2is plainly iu conflict with the Constitution of the State. This bill gives an apparent sanction or authority to any officer to summarily destroy property. This provision is clearly obnoxious. lam in favor of some law more stringent and effective to prevent blacklegs from swindling the farming community at these fairs. Mr. Campbell of Hendricks —This second section has no parallel on the statute books. Any one person may constitute himself a judge under the power which it gives. The motion to substitute the minority for the majority report was rejected. The majority report was concurred in. Mr. Faulkner moved that the constitutional rule be suspended and the bill passed. Mr. Foulke—lf ever there was an instance of fool legislation, it is certainly in this bill. Every man desires that the penalty for gambling at county fairs shall be reduced from SSOO to $250. The lowest amount is SSO and the.highest SSOO, under the present law. It is nonsense to bring up a law for every different exigency you can imagine. We are not here to stultify ourselves by any such legislation. We do not want separate and new laws to re-enact the statutes we now have. Mr. Hilligass—There is no statute directly upon the question applicable. There are statutes touching the leasing and renting of houses for gambling purposes. As the bill is amended, striking out the second section. I think the bill ought to pass, so we can say to officers of agricultural grounds that they shall not rent their grounds for gambling purposes. • The motion to fsuspend the constitutional rule was agreed to by yeas 34, nays 8. The bill failed to pass for want of a constitutional majority by yeas 24, nays 14. • THE PROPOSED APPELLATE COURT. On motion by Mr. Weir his appellate court bill IS. 873] providing for five judges was taken up and read the second time and the committee's report was concurred in. Mr. Fowler moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to amend’so as to provide for three judges in three districts. He said three judges would be sufficient to do all the work. He had not been favorable to the creation of any court of this kind, but if there is to be another court there should be but three judges. Mr. Campbell of Hendricks—An investigation has satisfied me that a larger amount of business would come with the creation of this convt. Avery small per cent, of appeals amount to over SI,OOO. "We have passed a bill giving the Supremo Court jurisdiction in cases of claims against the State, and if that passes the House the Supreme Court will have more business. I am not in favor of this bill. Mr. Weir —I hope the amendment will not be adopted. This bill will not increase the expense, because these commissioners have 'each been receiving $4,000 a year. The judiciary of the State costs the people less than in any other State in proportion to population and value of property. Mr. Overstreet—l realize that the Supreme Court needs some relief. The amendment comes nearer to ray views than anything which has been proposed, and I hope it will be adopted. The motion [Mr. Fowler’s] was agreed to, upon a division —affirmative 18, negative 13. Mr. Shively, from the committee on executive appointments, reported in favor of confirming the appointment by the Governor of Samuel S. Bootz, of Hancock county, as a member of the State Board of Health. On his further motion the report was concurred in, and then the Senate ad^mrned.

THE HOUSE. The Committee of the Whole Finally Concludes the General Appropriation Bill. Representative Frazee opened the proceedings of the House yesterday morning with prayer. A resolution to allow Representative Lindsay, of Howard county, per diem for the time he has dbeen at home ill, and to Mrs. Martha M. Browning, widow of the late Wm. W. Browning, Representative of tho counties of Brown a.rd Monroe, was offered by Mr Adams and adopted. Mr. Williams introduced, by request, a bill [H. R. 558] concerning the organization of insurance companies in Indiana. He introduced also a bill [II. R. 559] relative to the sureties of such companies. Mr. Passage called up his resolution to so amend the rules that speeches shall be limited to five minutes each, which was tabled on motion of Mr. Copeland. A resolution by Mr. Cory, that the General Assembly adjourn sine die on Monday, April 6, at 10 o’clock a. m. , and another by Mr. Staly, that the date be fixed at Thursday, tho 7th, were tabled on motion of Mr. Sears, who said that he was in favor of getting through with tho necessary business as soon as possible, and then go home. Mr. Passage’s bill [II. R. 388] to allow children to go to and from school in conveyances on toll gravel roads free of charge was read the second time, when Mr, Hayden moved to strike out the enacting clause. The motion was supported by Messrs. Mock and Gordon, who claimed that the bill was unconstitutional, because it takes property from one and gives to another. Mr. Passage claimed that it was similar to the bill passed in 1855, which still exists, and gives funeral processions a free use of the roads, and that it is equally as just. The vote to strike out the enacting clause resulted in yeas 16, nays 48 —a quorum not voting. Mr. Ditteraore arose to a question of privilege, and stated that a bill appropriating $1,250 to M. R. Slater, of Franklin, and the documentary evidence supporting the claim, had been stolen Dvin his desk on Saturday, and he believed it waa done for personal reasons. The Speaker instructed tho officers to make a careful starch for it.

Afternoon Session. Mr. Hayden withdrew Ins motion to strike out the enacting clause in the bill [H. K. 3GB] making toll-roads free to school children. On motion of Mr. H arrell the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole. Proposed amendments to reduce the appropriation for the northern prison and the southern prison $lO,000 each were defeated. Mr. Krueger's proposition to donate $20,000 for bath-rooms, a washhouse and a library in the northern prison was adopted. An amendment offered by Mr. Staley to pay the officers of the Female Reformatory each a salary of S3OO per year was defeated. Mr. Williams offered an amendment to appropriate $15,000 to construct water works from Eagle creek to the Asylum for the Insane, which was defeated, the explanation being generally given that members were not ready to vote now upon the proposition to construct mains to Eagle creek or tap the city's water-works. Subsequently, when the committee of the whole arose, the -same amendment was again defeated by yeas 33. nays 41. The item appropriating $28,000 for the maintenance of the Knightstown institution was was changed to $25,000, and the sum for repairs was fixed at $4,000, instead of $5,000, on motion of Mr. Deem. Mr. Smith of Tippecanoe, after the committee arose, offered, in the House, an amendment to appropriate $14,750 for new buildings for Purdue University, with the stipulation that the mouey is not to be drawn until a like amount is raised by subscription. Mr. McMullen moved to lay this on the table, and, pending a vote on the motion, the House udjourned until this morning. An Unsatisfactory Settlement. Some time ago Carrie Coleman got judgment against Herman Coleman in a replevin suit.and the judgment was that the horse aud wagon involved should be returned or the judgment satisfied in money. At the time agreed the defendant returned the property, and now the plaintiff brings suit for damages, claiming that the property was nearly wrecked. Judge Walker has taken the suit under advisement For Bronchial, Asthmatic, and Pulmonary Complaints, “Brown's Bronchial Troches” manifest remarkable curative properties, bold only in boxes.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1885.

LETTEKS FROM THE PEOPLE. The New South. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: For three weeks I have talked with everybody I could reach—black and white, rich and poor —in New Orleans and the Red river country. It seems to me that the now South is a coming fact that interests everybody. 1. The South is full of the elements of wealth that, rightly handled and developed, will make her in twenty-five years the rival of New Pingland. She is richer in lumber, iron and coal, climate and cost of living than the most favored regions of the North. Besides that, the Mississippi river is the gateway and water-way to a trade richer even, in the end, than that old world enjoyed by New York city. Among the attractions of the great exposition is a model of the proposed Eads ship railway, which seems to me bound to be put into successful operation in the next ten years, and which will divert to New Orleans the China and east Asian, trade. The cotton industry is only half developed. It is now found that the seed is more valuable than the fiber. By and Dy, when the secret of making sugar successfully is naturalized in the cane regions, which is, for one set of men —the farmers—to grow the cane and do nothing else, and for another set —the manufacturers —to own and operate the sugar mills, and do the manufacturing and nothing else, the South will, with the aid of the protective tariff, furnish sugar for at least 60,000,000 people. The next step will be to set the cotton factory down beside the cotton field, and the sugar refinery beside the cane-field and sugar-mill, instead of sending raw sugar and cotton to New York, New England, and then carrying both back in the shape of the manufactured article, and thus paying tribute (and no light tribute, either,) to the merchants of the North. 2. The South is poor in money and way behind the times in enterprise. Her railway system is hardly a dozen years old; vast tracts of country of untold natural resources are yet to be opened up. There are no banks to speak of, and but few school houses, as compared with Indiana. At Alexandria I found no bank within one hundred miles; yet this is a town of 2,500 people, in the midst of an agricultural region not inferior to Shelby and Johnson counties. Money commands 18 to 30 per cent, per annum. The war swept away everything, and tho slave system left the people as helpless as children in organizing labor and developing their means. Since then the new South has made its appea!*anee and it has come to stay. Anew generation is fast coming to the front, which is bound, in time, to emulate the thrift, energy and inventive industry of the North, and out of poverty and necessity to find the road to wealth and prosperity, such as was never dreamed of even in the old slave days. 3. I say to all young men. as said the immortal H. G., ‘‘Go South, young man. Go South and grow up with the country.” During my brief stay I saw an hundred chances to make independent fortunes. For example: The North writes and publishes the school books used south of the Ohio. Suppose an enterprising publisher should make headquarters at Chattanooga.and induce leading Southern men to write school books. An arithmetic written by some man like Bishop McTyeire would drive out all Northern competitors and make the fortune of its author and publisher. And so on to the end of the chapter. A good banker could coin money in almost. any of the larger Southern towns. 4. It is all nonsense about life and property being insecure in at least two-thirds of the South. It is possible that there are places, like Copiah county, Mississippi, where a Northerner would be unsafe; but in the Red river country I find social order as perfect as in any county in Indiana. In the jail of Rapides parish there is a white man of wealth imprisoned, and denied bail because of a well-defined suspicion of his shootinga negro. Imprisonment for carrying pistols is quite common. I found white men who voted for Blaine from conscientous convictions, and whose convictions, although ridiculed, did not subject them to personal danger. The further the South gets away from slavery and the old South, the greater will {bo tho security for freedom of thought and speech; and the new South will coon find out that these must be guaranteed before the capital and population so much prayed for will come and come to slay. 5. Truth compels me to say, however, that a white Republican stands no chance in the cotton States, politically and socially. That is the weakness of the old South, and which the new South, if it is wise, will overcome at the earliest possible moment. The very best men in the country in Louisiana that I visited told me that, while they would welcome the opportunity to break away from the old Bourbon Democracy that had the upper hand, nothing would induce them to join tho “nigger party.” The Southern politicians make no secret *of their past and future policy. They say, “We propose to handle our negroes. We have tried force, but that creates too much friction; we have found out a better way, and that is to buy them. For a few dollars, put where it will do the most good in each voting precinct, we can control the colored vote, and we mean to do it- Don’t you do the same up North —both Democrats and Republicans—when you get a chance? 6. Outside of politics no one could wish to live with a more friendly and liberal people. They are anxious to turn the tide of emigration, and especially to draw young and active Northern people to their midsts. I would not fear to go almost anywhere in the South to live and to take with me both family and property. There are 10,000 places in the Gulf and South Atlantic States where a young, enterprising, thrifty man could get rich. The only forbidden fruit to a llepubican is politics and political preferment. But politics and politicians are only a fraction of the industries of the great American people. In conclusion, I repeat, with a modification that 11. G. would himself make, if living: “Go South young man. Go South and grow up with the country.” D. P. Baldwin. Indianapolis, March 30, 1885,

The Monroe Connty Superin tendency. To the Editor of the Imlinnapolfa Journal: I notice in your paper of March 27 an article entitled “A Conflict of Authority.” The article does aa injustice to tho superintendent November 26,1884, Mr. McGee resigned the office of county superintendent filing his resignation with the county auditor. The auditor of the county called the twelve trustees together to elect a superintendent to fill the unexpired term. Politically the trustees are equally divided, with a Republican auditor. There were three candidates, Mr. Tourner, Mr. Pedigo and Mr. Axtell. Mr. Tourner received two votes, Mr. Pedigo four, and Mr. Axtell six. Mr. Axtell was then declared elected by the trustees. Mr. Axtell filed his bond and received his commission from the auditor. The auditor notified the State Superintendent of the election of Axtell, and, according to his own decision, the State Superintendent was bound to recognize Axtell. Mr. McGee then claimed to have appointed Mr. Pedigo as his deputy, and McGee left for Washington, D. C., where he had an appointment as clerk under Hon. C. C. Matson. The case was taken to the Circuit Court, on a writ of mandamus, and Judge Wilson decided that Axtell was duly elected. Mr. McGee, by his deputy (Pedigo) took an appeal to the Supreme Court. Wilson Adams, Trustee Bloomington township and Chairman of Meeting. —■ ——i About the People’s Ticket. To the idltor.of the ludianaDolis Journal: lam not surprised. I knew there were cranks who would obtrude their special crotchets whenever the people began to make a concerted move against the liquor combination. I wrote a few lines tho other day advocating a citizens’ movement against the saloon power of the city. I knew there were Republicans that would rather the city would go to the Beelzebub than not to train in the Republican ranks, and Democrats just like them, and Prohibitionists of the same style, and Greenbackers no better. Hence, I am not surprised at finding a professed Prohibitionist thrt is horrified at my insisting that we should get ail the money out

of tbe liquor-sellers that the law will allow, which will he about $22,000 per annum more than we now get, not to mention the increased income from fines, if the law is better enforced. There was not a word said about prohibition or temperance, for these have nothing to do with the question; it is simple cold dollars and cents. No man is fool enough to imagine that a gill less of intoxicants will be sold if we make them all pay, and make them pay the SIOO instead of $52. That is not the question. We want the money, and we want it bad. But wo never will got it while Democrats, and Republicans, and Greenbackers, and Prohibitionists all insist on running a ticket on party lines. The liquor-sellers are not going to scatter. They never do. The probability is, they will find an ally in the Democratic organization; but there are hundreds of Democrats who would like to join their fellow-citizens, of every shade of politics, in a citizens’ movement against the liquor saloons, at least so much as to tax them to the full extent of the law. and this without being Prohibitionists. But if Prohibitionists refuse to come into this arrangement, we can get along without them. I think there are less than a dozen —I know only seven —who are so impracticable, for in the main they are men of fair common sense. And if the Republicans refuse, we can at least beat them. We expect about fifty to seventy-five of them to refuse. All the candidates, and they are less than a hundred, will object, but I believe we can succeed, even without these. U. L. See. Tho “Temperance” Sell-Out. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: At the temperance convention, yesterday, two things that evinced-imbecility, characteristic of the St. John cranks that misrepresent the temperance people of Indiana, were done. One was passing resolutions censuring the press for exposing St. John’s sell-out, which is no . * a matter of campaign history, aud no longer admits of dispute; but this is quite in keeping with the cupidity of the followers of the bogus saint. everything has been done that could well be to damage the cause, and tho leader sold out to the only party that favored the saloon interest, now they abuse the newspapers that were shrewd enough to find his trick out. Then they talk about the “cause gaining ground since the election,” when the fact is the “cause” is virtually ciead in this State; the work is not progressing anywhere, nor can the followers of the Kansas saint get a hearing and support anywhere. During tho past winter scarcely a temperance lecturer has been in the field, aud from no quarter have we heard of any temperance revival. The fact is, the honest and practical temperance people were so disgusted during the last campaign at the dishonesty of the leaders,, and impracticable ideas of the followers of the St. John annex, that they will not aid them any longer, with free board and collections, while they are working (?) for the cause and their pockets. That this great cause was put back many years by tho treacherous action of the third party loaders no posted man can doubt. Truth. Arcadia, Ind., March 26.

Another Apology to Mr. Thompson. To tie Editor of the* Indianapolis Journal: Your correspondent “Student” makes a statement in your issue of March 25 which is unjust, both to the in-coming State Geologist and to the faculty of the State University. The paper in question was a letter to the Governor, signed by tho science teachers in this institution, recommending both Mr. I. N. Carr and Dr. A. J. Phinney as “practical geologists.” The only allusion to Mr. Thompson is the following (here quoted from memory): “A gentleman standing deservedly high in literary circies, but not known (to us) to have any special acquaintance with geological work.” David S. Jordan. AMUSEMENTS. AMY GORDON AT ENGLISH’S OPERA-HOUSE. Last night a good house greeted the singers of tho Amy Gordon Opera Company. At the filing in of the orchestra an announcement was made from the stage that “Fatinitza” would be substituted instead of “Fra Diavolo” on account of the sickness of Miss Gordon. The company is fair, and, if comparisons are not invidious, about equal to Wilburs upon t.hoir last engagement. There is a small chorus and principals of unknown reputation, outside of Miss Gordon and Mr. Morgan. Miss Gordon was suffering from a cold, but she possesses a voice that is rich and full, and her upper register is clear and powerful. Mr. Morgan possesses a light tenor voice and an easy stage presence, and played tho role acceptably, and Mr. W. P. Brown made a fair Kantsukoff. Miss Crocket, as tho Princess, sang only passably. Tho rest of the cast were but mediocre. The costumes, however, were good, and several numbers were nicely rendered. The engagement is for a week, and tomorrow night “Girofle-Girofia” will be presented.

THE MATINEE MUSICALE. The ladies’ Matinee Musicule gave an entertainment last night at Plymouth Church to a good audience. The selections were well chosen, and the performers frequently encored. The programme rendered was a3 follows: Piano solo, “Gavotte,” Miss Mary Spann; vocal solo, ‘•Message,” Mr. A. C. Levy; vocal solo, “Yes or No,” Miss Anna Baggs; cornet solo, Mr. Walter Rodgers; piano solo, Fantasia in D minor, Miss Winnifred Hunter; vocal solo, “Song of the Sea-shell,” Mrs. Henry Sehurmaun; piano solo, opus 55, No. 1 (Nocturne) and No. 4, book 6 (Songs without Words), Miss Mary Morrison; vocal solo, “Barcarolle,” Miss Emma Thompson; piano solo, “Melodie” and “The Chase,” Miss Mamie Stowell; vocal solo, “Ever Remember Me,” Mrs. Frank H. Levering; violin solo, Mr. M. H. Spades. The last performance of the evening was a chorus. ’•Spinning Song’’ (Flying Dutchman), rendered by Mrs Upton J. Hammond, Mrs. Henry Schurmann, Mrs. Gertrude Jameson, Miss Anna Farquliar, Miss Mamie Stowell, Mrs. G. F. Branham, Miss Emma Thompson, Miss Anna Baggs, Miss Blanche Dollens, Miss Lillian Russell. NOTES. “Falka,” which had a long run at the Casino, will be presented at the Grand Thursday and Friday evenings, by the McCaull Opera Company. Bertha Ricce heads tho organization. The advance sale opens to-morrow. Minnie Maddern, in her new play, “Caprice,” will appear at the Grand Opera-house Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Her company is a well-balanced one, and the play a pleasing stago picture. The advace sale opened yesterday. The People’s Christian Temperance Union will meet this evening, at tho W. C. T. U. rooms, No. 76 North Pennsylvania street. The programme includes an address by Rev. Rondthaler. solo by Mrs. Walker, and recitation by Miss Turpen. A cordial invitation is extended to all interested. The Hyers’ sisters combination presented their comedy. “The Blackville Twins,” at Lyra Hall last night to a fair audience. The comedy makes an evening’s entertainment, and there are numerous specialties introduced, including songs and recitations by the sisters. The comedy will be presented every afternoon and evening this week. The Acorn Society of tho Fourth Presbyterian Church will give an entertainment, Friday evening, at the hall of the Indianapolis Semi nary, at half past 7. There will be a “Mother Goose” reception, tableau (“Marriage of Pocahontas”), fan drill, music and recitations. Proceeds for the benefit of the church. Tickets can be obtained from Cathcart, Oleland & Cos., No. 26 East Washington street; or at J. M. Alloways's, No. 10£ East Washington. The Maennerchor concert will be given to-night, at the hall of the society. The following programme will be rendered: Solo and chorus—-“Walpurgis-nacht” soloists. Mr. H. C. Levi. Mr. A. Bennerscheidt and Miss L. Hessling. Overture —“Wilhelm Tell” (Rossini), orchestra. Youngladies’chorus—“Dornrceschen” (Schletteren). Tenor solo—“Adalaide” (Beethoven), Mr. H. C. Levi. Solo and chorus—“Kirchtagsbilder” (Koschat); soloists Mrs. J. P. Frenzel, Mr. H. C. Levi. The Museum last night was crowded with an enthusiastic crowd. In the curiosity hall were the Columbus clock, Cooke’s marvels, Bernstein’s wax-works. Colonel Cooper, Eugene Feral to, the giant skeleton* Henrietta Moritz, a dwarf*

George James, fat boy. The stage performance consist©*! of Alien and Martin, in a musical sketch, Elsie Loane. George Wambold in gymnastic exhibition, the Vernon sisters in songs and dances, 31. E. Nibbe in character songs, Henry Jlarvello on the trapeze, Martinas, a contortionist, and a pantomime by the De Estas. The bill will run the entire week. THE CITY IN BRIEF. Albert Parsely has qualified as guardian of Lora Smith. Joseph Ader yesterday filed a complaint for divorce from Florilla B. Ader, alleging infidelity. The following marriage licenses were issued yesterday: Emanuel Riddle and Emma Grim, David Polly and Maria Watkins, 3iichael Johannes and Margaret Henrich. Casper Bennett was arrested yesterday, charged with stealing fx’om the Northern 31anufacturing and Car Company a number of cylinders, shafts and pulleys, of the value of $173. The trial against the Ballard woman, in which Superintendent Lang is interested, growing out of the Constable Reinnold warrant, will come up to day in the mayor’s court, 3layor 31cMaster being in the city. Nothing for Depositors. Receiver Lamb, of Harrison’s Bank, says there is little possibility of saving much from the wreck, as it will require $23,000 for a 5 per cent, dividend, and the property is heavily mort gaged. The tile works are mortgaged for SBO,000 to the Portsmouth Savings Bank; the Parker Block, valued at $30,000, a Washington-street business room, valued at $7,000; a house at the corner of Illinois and New York streets $4,000; and the Stolty # farm, valued at SG,GOO, are also covered by the mortgage, and there has been only SB,OOO paid on it, and there is a suit for $77,000 pending in the federal court. The Parker Block is also covered by a second mortgage, and this property, with the tile works, will be sold 3lay 20. It looks like the receiver will get nothing. ANALYZING THE BAKING POWDERS. “Royal” the Only Absolutely Pure Baking Powder Made—Action of the New York State Board of Health. 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 found for sale in the State, were submitted to examination and analysis by Prof. C P. Chandler, a member of the State Board, and President of the New York City Board of Health assisted by Prof. Edward G. Love, the wellknown late United States government chemist. The official report shows that a large number of the powders examined were found to 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 samples. 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 93 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 were long since discarded as unsafe or inefficient by prudent housekeepers) are made from the impure cream of tartar of commerce, and consent! *ntly contain lime to a corresponding extent The only baking powder yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is the “Royal.” This perfect puri-. ty results from the exclusive use of cream of tarter specially refined and prepared by patent processes of the N. Y. Tartar Cos., which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and on account of this greater cost is used in no baking powder but the “Royal.” Profi. Love, who ifiade the analyses of baking powders for the New York State Board of Health, as well as for the government, says of the purity and wholesomeness of “Koval:” “I have tested a package of ‘Royal Baking Powder which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed of pure and wholesome inuredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates or anv injurious substances. “E. G. Love, Ph.D.”
