Important Decision. Manufacturers of Adulterated Food Alarmed. It is the common right of the people to know what food compounds contain." The Supreme Court of Minnesota has recently decided that baking powders containing alum must be so marked. The Judges " Opinion" recites that for over a century alum has been considered harmful as a food ingredient, and quotes various statutes forbidding its use. Baking powders adulterated with alum and ammonia are palmed off as "absolutely pure," and public safety requires a law in every State compelling all manufacturers to state the ingredients used. The N. Y. Post suggests that consumers protect themselves by 44 boycotting every article which does not carry with it a clear statement of what it contains." For years ail the ingredients used in Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder have been published on the label, and the accuracy of the analysis verified by U.S. Govt Chemists. This is a guarantee of purity and wholesomeness not offered by any other baking powder manufacturer

STRIET-CU0SS1XG HORROR.

Limited Passenger Dasbes at Fall Speed Into a Street-Car Loaded with People. Chicago, Jan. 14. A surface railwaycrossing horror occurred to-night at Fortyreventh street, on the Cbieago, Pittsburg & Fort Wayne tracks. An inbocud Fort Wayne train struck a Forty-sevon.h-street horse-car of the Chicago S tree :rail way Company. Two passengers on the horsecar were killed iustantly. Thirteen other passengers were injured. The train wasthe "limited," known as No. 9,and the crash was at a point where there is a net-work of fourteen diflerent tracks. Two women, who had not been identified at midnight, were the fatalities. The following were in jured: R. L. Onheard, head cut; Lizzie Peterson, face and head; Lizzie Savage, side and head; Joseph Winter, head, face and arms; Peter Anderson, head; Patrick Kreiger, head; Mabel Hilden, eye and arm; Mary Frazer, scalp: Frank Kapa, lace and internally; Joseph Kapa, shoulder; Richard Hatch, head. The catastrophe was due to the combined carlessness or stupidity of three men. Herman L. Albrecht, the crossing keeper, Joseph Flannigan, tbe conductor of the street-car, and Michael, the car-driver. It was the street-car conductor's duty to ran ahead and see that the tracks were clear, bus whether he did this is not apparent Albrecht, the crossingkeeper, says he did not. It is certain they were clear on either side, the electric lights lit np the road for a mile in each direction, and yet Albrecht did not see the "limited" bearing down on his crossing at the rate of forty miles an hour. He raised tbe fatal gates, the driver, Craigin, whipped ud bis horses, and in an instant was on the tracks just in front of the speeding train. The engineer pulled his whistle valve, tbe crossing-keeper, driver and conductor looked around for the first timo, and screamed a too tardy warning. There was a crash, a score of hnman voices raised in the agony of terror, and the street car and its burden of fourteen people were hurled, splintered and crushed, a distance from the . track. Scores of people from surroonding houses rushed out. and a saloon building was transformed into a temporary hospital. Tbe street car was mashed into amassof splintered wood, fragments of glass and twisted bars of iron. In tho wreckage were a half dozen battered and bleeding human forms. These were tenderly carried to the saloon. while tbeir fellow-passengers less seriously injured were helped to the same place. All around were blood-stained bandages. The corpse of one of the women passengers was found across the pilot of the locomotive, one hundred yards from tbe stroet-car. when the limited was brought to a stand still. The trainmen were considered blame less by the police. The crossing-keeper and street-car conductor have been arrested. The driver is said to be in hiding. WHISKY TRUST PEOPLE Experimenting with the New "Mashing" Process at the Peoria Distilleries. V Peoria, 111., Jan. 14. President Greennut, or tne wnisgy lrusr, to-day was asked concerning the report ent from Peoria to tbe stockholders', meeting last Tuesday at Chicago of the Lackamme Fer menting Company, to the effect that the. Laekamine process was meeting with great success at the Manhattan distillery. Mr. Greenhut said that the operations of the Laekamine -process at the Manhattan distillery at present were of an experimental nature for the purpose of overcoming some of the difficulties which were encountered in operating the process on a large scale. Just when we will be able to begin using the process on a large scale I cannot at present say." ) This was all that President Greenhut was willing to say at this time, but an in terview was accorded. iwithiiEmanuel IL Kanitz, chemist r for the trust, and J. S. Jelt, distiller at tbe Manhattan, who are credited with making the statements of tbe successful operation of the prooess, and under whose direction the experiments are conducted on behalf of the trust. Both these gentlemen flatly deny that they had 6tated it was a success, for, the Laekamine process was an experiment, and far from satisfactory. They gave tbe following statement: Whsn Laekamine first came to Peoria, Woolner Bros., whose distillery at which tbe trust had its laboratory, was fitted np for the experiments which were 'about to be made. They were conducted on a small scale, 250 bushels of grain being used to a mash. The experiments gave promise or success, even mooch not satis factory, and in - the latter part of JSovember tbe Manhattan distillery was ' fitted up for experiments on a large scale, $wo thousand bushels being used to a mash. These experiments did not give as good results as had been anticipated, or as the developments on a smaller oasis, and the trust went back to tbe lattsr, which are still in progress. One hundred and ton bnshels are now being used to a mash, l be last masn was made on Tues day, which will not be drawn oif until tomorrow. What the result will be cannot be told before that time. The experiments will be continued, and while -not satisfac tory now. it is heped in less than a month to tell jost how much of a success the iacaamine prooess win do. FOURTH-CLASS POSTMASTERS.

Additional Testimony as to the Working of the Co-Education and Annex Systems. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journah In a communication lately printed in tho Journal 1 gave a list of questions relating to co-education and the annex systems in colleges, and gave replies' thereto, received from a number of prominent institutions. I have since received others, some of which are herewith presented. From New Haven comes the intelligence that women are not admitted to Yale "except in the art school at present" This quotation suggest two thoughts: First, that to at least one department ladies now have access; second, that the future may open others. President Patton, of Princeton, thinks coeducation will never be adopted there, nor an annex; bat the secretary writes: "There is a college for women here in Princeton, of which Dr. J. H. Mollvaine is president, but it has no connection in any way whatever with Princeton University." This proximity mast at least be helpful.' From Cornell President Adams writes that women are admitted there "on the 6a me conditions as men, except that they must be a year older." Their plan went into operation in 1872, and at present about one in ten of the l,4s9 students are women. Sage College is a structure erected specially for tbe accommodation of women. Here an appointed principal has charge of the health, the morals and tho social life of women students. Dr. Adams says that ladies are admitted to tbe same classes as men, bnt they are under special charge of the lady principal in Sge dormitory and the gymnasium. He mentions this much regarding their influence: "I do not hesitate to express the opinion, without qualification, that in a social, as well as in a echolastio sense, the general tone of the college is wholesome and elevating." President Ballentine, of Oberlln, says; "Ladies are admitted to all classes of Oberlin College on the same terms as men, and they pursue the same studies in all departments. We have three dormitories for young women. Young men come to these dormitories and take their meals with the young women, but the rooms of the young men are nil in private houses." At Oberlin the number of women exoveds that of men, because of the large bchool of Music They have always recited together. In regard to their presence the President further says: "Their presence is not believed to lower the tone of oar intellectual worth. Of course, in all other respects they elevate tho tone." Dr. Bashford, of Ohio Wesleyan, says: "Ladies were admitted to tho classes some eight or tsn years ago. We bad 440 ladies last year and 688 gentlemen. The gentlemen and ladies recite in the same classes, bnt the ladies board at Monnett Hall. We have no dormitory for the gentlemen." in regard to tbeir influence he adds: "Their presence has raised the tone of conduct and of scholarship, I think, though the change has not been marked in either direction." From Lake Forest, President Roberts returned, full itemized answers to the questions. About the year 1830 ladies were admitted to the university and constitute to-day one-fourth of the enrollment in college proper. Ferry Hall Seminary formerlv prepared young ladies to enter either Ferry Collego, whioh admitted women only, or to enter Lake Forest Collego for both men and women. This was the plan until this year. Dr. Roberts says they attempted an annex, but that all tbe young ladies petitioned to be admitted to the college with men. and now therefore they have adopted co-education for the junior and senior years. The seminary carries the women in separate classes np to the junior year. The college, therefore, receives young men from the academy to its freshmen class, and women from the seminary to its junior class, and then graduates them together. In conclusion the President remarks: "Oar yoang men are more gentlemanly and studious by having ladies in the class. Some of them do not like to have girls iu college." President Purintou, of Granville, O.. in writing of Denison University, says: "Shepardson Cellege is organically separate and distinot from Dsmson University, having its own charter, trustees, endowment, grounds and buildings. Its principal buildings are Burton Hall. Chapel Hall and King Hall. Besides these there are several cottages and a conservatory. Tbe lady principal of the college has full control of the home life of the young ladies, and tbe general direction of tbeir studies. Tbe academic work is done largely by the faculty of the college; sopbomore, junior and senior work, and most ot the freshman, is dene by the professors in Denison University. The young ladies recite in tbe same classes and take the same lectures as tbe young men." He further states that the courses of study are substantially the same in both Denison and Shepardson, leading to three degrees, while the woman's course is oae year shorter, to the degree of Lit. B. Both institutions have the same president, and out of the four hundred students this year 140 nre women. Tbe plan works admirably, giving the advantaees of co-eduoation. and reducing its disa dvantages to the minimum. T. I. F. . CaiwroRhsviLLK, Ind., Jan. 14. IUleys Spreading Popularity.
