THE ROMANCE OF A LOT.

How JLSOO Iavasted La Kjhsu Citj ilaia a Hisistefi Fortu. A live-Acre Tract Bought by Rar. David Walk iu 1S7S Sold by Him Tiecently for S66.SOO. I Kansas City Time. Ia Kansas City oftener than In ay other city, ptrlups, instances occur of wliere large fortunes La v been ma Je from real estate thought to be worthless. The" moat notable case, as re!l as the most loaaaatic ia that of Ter. David Walk, a minister of the Christian sect, nho In 1ST 3 purchased fire acres of grouml for $1,500, which he sold Saturday toMeajrs J. S. Ford and H. P. Jacques for $00,500. The property is located at Ninth -and Olive streets, and at the time of acquiring it Mr. Walk occupied the pulpit ia one of the principal churches in. Memphis. The circumstances leading to the purchase are interestingly related by Mr. Walk. "My health had been failing for Some time," said Mr. Walk, "and to recuperate it decided to take atrip through the West. Ieinp, like most ministers, dependent on my profession for a livelihood, and conscious" that the time would come when I should hare to give up preaching, I also determined to look out for a place near some thriving City, where I could retire from the ministry and get my living from the gTOUnd. The first places I visited in Missouri were Carrolltoi. Spiingfield and Beltou. At each the people of ourchurch offered to give me a home if I would locate with them, and at Beltou the church proposed to deed fifteen acres of ground to me, and build a residence on it if I would accept the pastorate there. When I left home I had no idea of visiting Kansas City but being so near it I decided to come here before accepting either of the propositions. I accordingly did SO, and found the people desirous of having me take charge of a little church then being established. As I liked the looks of the town I accepted the charge, and prepared to bring my family here. Driving into the country with a friend one day to see :f I could find a tract of land to my liki'-sr. I came upon a cornfield, five acres of wh' :1 v ere for sale. I bought the property the neit day, and after thirteen months I not eci to Cincinnati, where I took charge of the largest church in our denomination. Two years later I went to Indianapolis, and after four years to New Orleans, where I arn cjvr pastor of a church. It was while at Indianapolis that Iilearned that mv land was likely to make my fortune. I received several letters from capitalists ia Kansas City cilerin to take the property off my bands. The first o2er, which "was made three years ago, was of $bHio. A iittle while later somebody offered $10,000. And a year ago I received a letter ottering me &vr,000 for the property. Mv reply was on a postal card, and was to the eflect that I had no desire to sell, and that I expected some day to turn my acres into a good garden. Jn a few days I received a pleasant note from the gentleman asking me what kind of vegetables I expected to raise on ground worth $3,0 ) an acre," 'You came to Kansas City then, did you cot?" "Yes, I came back for the first time since my departure in 1ST'), and was not a little surprised to s?e a city oa all sides of my whilom cornfield. I had been here but a few days when 1 received an oiler of $45.000, which I refa?ed. The bids kept jumping up $5,C0O at a time, until a few weeks ago I received a half-dozen of $60,000. I came on to Kansas City last week, and Saturday, as you know, sold out for $6,500. I have said nothing cf the struggle it has cost me to keep possession of my little tract. Preachers' salaries are not usually exorbitant, and it was often hard for n.e to support my family and pay the taxes small as they were. But I did it, and have cow a competency." Mr. Walx is a tall, robust, clerical-looking Sentieman oa the right side of fifty, and if appearances go for anything, will enjoy the fruits of his timely investment for many yearn to come. lie said he should not attempt to increase his fortune, but would make a safe investment, where the interest would be sufficient to support his family. "Messrs. Ford and Jacques will plat the property and place it on the market. CONGRESSIONAL. Proceeding During th Past Week of Both Houses of Congress.

. ''Save. the Children. Detrimental food which, by reaaon of their superior strength, may not seriously aftact the health of adults, as is weli known, frequently acts upon the more delicate organs of the child to produce diiorders of the most serious character. The amount of laudanum or other poison that would be harmless to an adult will cause the death of an infant. This great difference between the vitality of adults and children is too generally overlooked in the preparation of food. Decause no harm immediately perceptible comes to the adult by the use of an article of .food, no thought is given to the effect it may have upon the mare delicate organs of inferior age. Children diet larxely upon cake aud bread. and these articles, if light, sweet aud composed of materials that are free from injurious substance?, are easily digested, nutritious and wholesome. There is a danger to our children, however, lurking in their bread and cake which rs too often lost sight of. These articles, are now leavened largely by baking powders, and when pure and wholesome baking powders are used they make not only the moot palatable food, but one much more wholesome and nutritive than if leavened with yeast or cream of tartar and soda. The trouble arises from the fact as shown by recent scientific tests by the Government chemist and by olliri.tl Boards of ' Health that all these baking powders, with the single exception of the Royal, contain either lime, alum, phosphates or acids of an injurious character. Therefore. when bread or cake is made with the use of these cheap baking powders these ingredients (which are present through, the efforts of the manufacturers to produce a cheaper article) pass into the food and are taken into the delicate organs of childhhood where they are the source of very much of the disease with which our children are afflicted. Persons who have not strong constitutions growing girls, young children and nursing mothers are particularly liable to the evil eflects produced by the'introdnetion of the adulterants named as fouud in the cheap bcking powders. Heartburn and the prevalent forms of indieestion are often solely traceable to the action of alum on the delicate coats of the stomach. Professor Willard Parker. U. S. Surgeon General Hammond, Professor Alonzo Clark, most eminent physicians of New York, with scores of others, have written and spoken most earnestly of the evils arising from partaking of such food. There should be as much care in the choice of a baking powder as in obtaining pure milk or in having a prescription compounded from pure drugs and not from poisons. The matter is one of the greatest importance, particularly to the risins feneration.

and while our conservative law-makers are making up their minds as to the proper egisiation to stop the sale or the poisonous compounds, mothers will do well to study it carefully. The housekeeper will experience no inconvenience in discarding the use ol the adulterated baking iowder, if she has been using it, as the Royal Baking Powder, upon the purity and wholesomeness of which all the Government chemists agree, is equal ly accessible; but sue will need to exercise a close watch upon her packages from the grocer in order to prevent the inferior brands from creeping into her kitchen unawares. In what we have felt it our duty to sav in reference to the subject of baking powder there is no intention to disparage the work or the products of those many manufactur ers in other lines of food products, who with conscientiousness and liberality are serving the public with pure and wholesome articles of diet.

Another immense canvass by umenaäs, of Paris, is "The Disputed Prisoner " Two stalwart warriors, armed and mounted upon plunging horses, are fighting for the possession of a beautiful woman who is gathering herseif up lor a fltehL Her dark hair and blue mantle wave in the wind. A wild, lonely land scape is about them. Among the the large landscapes Is one by renowned Arthur Tarton, a view of Lake Geneva, a wide, deep., narrow scene of woods, waters, hills, gardens and palaces. Another large painting by Roger Donoho, of Mississippi, is a French forest, called "La Marcellerie," a rich, green picture, in the modern French style of tangled grasses and far vistas of a forest. There are many English landscapes by famous hands, scenes in Surrey and elsewhere. Among the French landscapes is one by Maria Becket. named Midsummer in France." Jb. Itf. a landscapes ax numer

ous; one i9 a great view of the Koaian Campaana. The gallery is rich In sea pieces, both foreign and American. They show win-1 and rain, ebb tides, coining storan, sea beaches, ships "bound out" and moonlit waters; seeing them i like a visit to the ocean. Among the tfaure paintings is a large one bv that divine Ecgluh master of figure painting, Arthur Hill. It is "A Daicing GirL" She has a sweet, innocent face, due thrums with her swift fingers on a tambourine. Her toft feet lightly press the mosaic pavement, and thereon lies a thin garment just tossed aside. Behind her is a carved marble waiL Another interesting picture is "Dante observing Beatrice at Church." Dark, wrathful Dante; the fair, pale Baa trice, and a pretty companion, and the dark oil church, make a grand pictare. Jaques Wagrez, a famous and admirable painter, bas a marvellous picture in this gallery named 4,The Master of the Way'1 a group of Greek girls, meeting the god Bros on a mountain path. Will the President Marry? Special to the SenüneL WASHTXGTorr, April 17. The World of today aays: "Captain Sprague, of New York; formerly one of the proprietors of the St. James Hotel, and in the last few years manager of the Geaeste House in Buffalo, and for

"years an intimate and personal friend of the President, said to-day, after having lunched at the White House, that in his opinion there was much truth in the report of the President's approaching marriage. " M chaffed the President,' continued Captain Sprague, 'also on his marrying Frankie, as Miss Folsom is generally called by those who know her and her family as I do. Mr. Cleveland made no denial neither did he attempt to create the impression that the reports were untrue. Upon mentioning the subject he smiled, and conversed pleasantly about it. if the reports were not true I am certain he would have told me so. Mr. Cleveland and myself have been friends for a number of years. He boarded with me when I waa in the hotel business in Buffalo. I have a son named for him, and feel the President would not conceal anything of the kind from his personal friends. l nave known miss Jtolaom since she was a little schooleirl. She is a lovelv character. and will make the most charming mistress iue i une nouse uaa ever Known. 1 am convinced the marriage will take place at an early date. The one who will lose by the President's marriaare will be Miss Elizabeth Cleveland. She is now the ranking ladv in Washington society. With the President's marriage she will lose her precedence over the wives of prominent officials. It is bardly probable that Miss Cleve land will remain at the White House after her brother's marriage. It is said bv her mends that she will not be at. all reluctant to give up her position here and return to the more congenial occupation of literary study and writing, iliss Cleveland has found very little opportunity for literary work since coming to ashmgton, and having great ambition in that direction will naturally find.pleasure in returning to the quieter pursuits of private lue.' " mere nas been a great demand here for the picture of Miss . Folsom within the last few days, but none of the photographers here have been able to satisfy any ot their calls. Death of Dr. Samuel Davis. Dr. Samuel Davis died at his residence, No. 274 rieasant street, shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon from a stroke of apoplexy whiclt occurred on Sunday last. He rallied from the elTects of the stroke on Monday as if he would recover from it, but soon after commenced sinking away gradually until death came. Dr. Davis was born in Ontario County, New York, February, 14, 1814. At the age of eighteen he went to Cincinnati, O.. where he attened lectures at the Medical College, and became a graduate. In 1808 he located at New Trenton, and began the practice of medicine. He wa3 a member of the Legislature in 1m52, and was present at the recent meeting of the surviving members at English's Opera House. He was Assistant Surgeon of the Thirtjr-se.venth Indiana Regiment in the late war in 1S12, and afterward Surgeon of the Eighty-third Regiment., While serving as such he was thrown from an ambulance and received an injury of the spine, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. He settled in this city in 1872, where he bas since resided. In September last he was elected to the position of Medical Director of the Masonic Mutual Benefit Society, and has since filled that position. He was highly esteemed in a large circle of acquaintances for his many excellent traits of character. Mr. Kregelo will take the remains to Pennsylvania, where they will be cremated. An Alleged Dynamiter Arrested. Chicago. April 19. A special dispatch from Waco, Tex., says: "For several days past the omcers of this city have been on the lookout for Abe Jackson, who is charged with the destruction by dynamite of a residence belonging to the noted evangelist. Sam Jones, at Cartersville, Ga. Jackson was apprehended yesterday, and lodged in jail to await the arrival of officers from Georgia with the necessary requisition papers. Jackson is also charged with being implicated in the blowing up of Judge Collins' large stables near Cartersville. He denies both charges, and says he is being persecuted because of his friendship for the Wild brothers, who have just been acquitted of destroying Judge Collins' property. Darnell Heturns Thanks.
