M" tu:. X. Y.. Ky 1 Colonel Jotm ü. Fol-. in the grandf-ithei of Miss Frances LFolsom. r.nceof PreHetir t'leveland. knows EOmetbi: l- interesting &hon theapproaciiin weddipf . As a correspondent of the Herald ascerfaii ! to-day, Grtn1p Folsom. is sev-enty-f.v jnrs old, but. ;ih the exception of an .-tTMtti of gout, be is in very good health 1t-r a man of bissn:. He wearsa long gray be.iMl. Las bright blue eyes, and a Courteous iii.-inner, which milker a visitor feel at home in ii I? presence. "Atl M'ss Frances is really goinsj to marry FreskitM t 'leveland?" was asked by thecorTesporn'et.t as a starter. "Ys es: there is r.o doubt about that," was tbe Learty reply. "Frankie became engaged to tLe President after she became twenty-one years old, and I was glad to hear it. She is a dear, good girl, and I love her clearly." "Do jut! know Mr. Cleveland?" "He t .-i-d to come out here frequently before he mn for the otüce ot Mayor of UurFalo, but I Lave hardly seen Lira since. He las been very busy, and I do not bother so much at'out politics now I did when I was yorti?er. I am a Democrat, but I nevfr talked politics with him. because there wer plenty other folks to pester hira. lie is an exce:'ent President, aL.il there is no man for ti::i I have a warmer regard than for Grover Cleveland. When he used to come out he. lie played out in the orchard and lhrew sticks and apples and such things at marks, (.rover was not a pood thrower, for lie was too heavy." "W het will the weddiEg take place, Coloaeir "I do not know, aDd I aru very glad that I do rot. The only date I have heard talked about is Wednesday, June 9, but I believe all that will be chansred on account of all this newsp:iter talk. We have had a bushel of newspapers sent us by friends filled with all iind- f stories. Some of them will make Prat k;e feel bad. We have sent her the gocd clippings, and she will get them at lai;.-. My daughter Kmma (Frankie's mother j has charge of all the arrangements, and ' will change the plans as often as he pieces" "Th. n the nuptials inay not take place in the White House'."' "You may he pretty sure they will occur there. Kvenkie wants to be married there. and the- I'reaident will probaaly like it. too. "Ves, the- weddin.n will oecur'in the White House " "When do you erpect the Miss Folsom party to arrive?" "'ibe ii.teud to sail for America on Miy IS li.t that arrangnuetit, too, may be Cb3ri-d." "Whii: Ud you last Lear from Miss FolSon.'' "A ''' of weeks ap). She was then at Gm:i ' 1 :im daily expe; a letter froxn Paris." "Can I see the letter?" "No. .-ir," said theColorcel emphatically. "Are the reports true that President Cleveland paying the expenses o: the trip abroao :"' "That is an infamous lie, 6ir. Grover Cleveiar d would not oiler to do so, knowing that his o3r would be distasteful to us. I lave noney enough. I am getting old. and like to see others enjoy themselves. I gave Frankie and her mother a liberal allowance before they left, and only this week, when I answereo her last letter, I sent a draft for $1,000 1 told Frankie she should buy her iroussean. as the newspapers call it, in Paris if she wanted to, and I told her to draw on sue to pay for it. That's Juit what I want her to do. is to ask me for money. The only condition I imposed was that she should get S.9 tine a costume as possible." Colonel Folsom's household is not lare, but it is a happy one despite the griefs that J.ave hefailen it. Mrs Frank Fol-om, wife of Oscar's brother, a handsome matron of forty-five years, and her four children, two girls and" two boys, are the companions of the Colonel. The oldest girl. Miss Emma Folsonu is a beautiful young lady of twentyone, with a resemblance to "her cousin France?. Her sister Maude and her brother? are younger. Mrs. Folsom was reluctant to talk about the wedding because, as she said, fco much had apparently come from the friends of the bride and nothing from the srooru Miss Frankie did not like to br written about in the papers, she said, and that was tartly why the trip abroad was planned. "Will you attend the wedding? ' 'No, sir. I think not," said Mrs. Folsom, but niy daughter Emma will be there." k "Io ou think she will be a bridesmaid?" "I do not know, but the suggestion has teen made." "That would be delightful," said MNs Fmma. "Just think of it! Frankie would marry the President of the White House, and then I would be his cousin. It would be too grand for anything." VEDJ'IX.i TO TAKE PLACE IN ArolT. fBy Mar key-Bennett Cable to the Commercial-Gaze ue. I Pa eh. May 2. Miss Folsom. the bride elect of Piesident Cleveland, is staying in Paris, where he intends to remain ei'ht or ten days, to enable her mother to fully recover from the malarial fever that Mrs. Folsom contrated in Rome during the Carnival. The fever did not prevent the party from continuing their travels till they reached Genoa, where, the malady having developed, thev were obliged to remain six weeks till the conyalescente was permitted to continue her journey to Paris. The party consists of Mrs. Folsom, Mi.s Folsom and her cousin. Mr. Benjamin Folsom. I called at the Hotel Fell evue this evening, where the party are staying. They had just returned from" Versailles, where they had been passing the entire day admiring the lountains, pictures and all the glories of France. Miss Folsom did not seem a bit tired. She was dressed in a black dress, with rich jet trimmings and a narrow red ruche about her neck. She is a brunet'e. slight, lithe and graceful. Her dark Jiair ia worn brushed back over her forehead, and suggestive of one of Greuze'a delicious shepherdesse, while her dark, ararklin eves resemble those of Ilenner's charming" "brpheline" exposed in this year's Salon. Mlsa Folsom has the true incedo regina walk, thoroughly dignified and impressive in manner, ami would do honor to American womanhood at most of the aristocratic courts of Furor- I had the following conversation with Mr. Iienjamin Folsom: Correspondent There has been so much talk about Miss Folsom's engagement to President Cleveland that I thought best to come to the fountain source and ak you whether it la true or not? Mr Fcbom As yet we have neither deHied the reports nor confirmed them, but so much Lag already been said about the matter that I might as well tell you, once for all, that the engagement of Mr. Cleveland and JJiss Folsom may be considered as settled. Correspondent When did Mr. Cleveland ftnd Miss FoLsom first meet? Mr. Folsom They have known each other S long time. Mr. Cleveland and Miss FolBom s father were the most intimate friends, almost like brothers. Miss Folsom graduated last year from Well's College, and since last autumn we have been traveling about amusing ourael yes In France, Holland, Germany, Austria and Italy. Correspondent Will the trousseau be purChased in Paria? Vit Fooa-hin5 is, ftttltf ft bout tfct,

We have been buying thincr in Vienna, Home and Paris, the tarne as most Americana do trareling abroad. When Miss Folsom sees anything she particularly fancies in Paris, she buys It, but no regular trousseau is intended to be purchased yet. Correspondent Wb-t do you think about what several Americau papers have been publishing about the engagement? Mr. Folsom They are all rubbish and nonsense. All the yarns about financial matters, etc., are utterly absurd. The sketches of Mi FolMm are not a bit like her; in fact here Mr. Folson stepped on one side and consulted in a whisper, with Miss Folsom. aud returiied again and resumed trie conversion with me in tact. Mis Folsom had never before had any idea of the extraordinarily fertile and vivid imagination of American reporters. Cuttings from the American papers rtach us by hundreds every mail. Most of the statements I wish to contradict, and especially sevtral paragraphs recently published ia the Sun. Correspondent Where do you intend to go after Paris.' Mr. Folaom-Probably to the North of Europe and then to Kngland. Correspondent Has any date been spokea of for the marriage? Mr. Folsom No. Miss Folsom's presence in Paris excites the most eager curiosity amon the Parisians, a3 well as from the American and British colonies. Everybody tries to catch a glimpse of her graceful form as she comes in or goes out of the hotel, and people almost lay in a mbush for her behind the doorways as 9he parses to get into her carriage or goes for a walk. In fact. Miss Folsom's coming marriage is already the topic of the day and almost ai much talked about as that of the Coiute l)i Paris' daughter or as was the Princes-Beatrice's wedding last summer. It is believed that President Cleveland and M;ss Folsom will be married next August.

Au Outrageous Avult. Dana, Ind., May ."..One of the most outrageous and cowardly aasault3 ever committed was the one that stirred the biooi o: our citizens last Wednesday evening. Some six or eight months ago a talented young man came from Illinois and established a newspaper here. It is Democratic in politics. Every endeavor has been made by some of the Ilepublicans to "run the paper out." Put Democratic jrinciples um stay. Mr. Griffith, the editor of the News (the paper in question) is a well respected young man of social attainments and at times indulges in a little game of cards. Some tew weeks ao one Taylor I'almer who run3 a drug store, took a hand in a game with Grill: th. and then at bis earliest opportunity wrote to the Hoosier State otl'ce that Grirhth was a blacklegged gambler. The sneaking act o' Palmer rai-ed the ire of the News editor and Palmer was "done up" through the paper. Mr. Grit'ith rcught his chemicals which he used in his printing business of Palmer, a:nl Palmer was to advertise suiticiently to pay for the drugs. He stopped advertising when Griffith published hir.;. ar.d ?er.: a note to tLf editor asking a settlement. Grieth told him that he could be found at his place of business at any time. o on last Wednesday evening at uu-k Palmar, after -Ti. uking up and down the street :n ;ro-ir of the printing C!l:ce to see that no one W3S near, entered and told the editor that he wanted to settle up his account. "All riht," 3aid Grithth. laying down the paier from which he was reading, and examining hi? oook.. It was found that then was a di:!erence of a few dollar- in Palmer's favor. Gritrith then asked him whether he ren.embered Lis contract to take it out in advertls'n?. "Ye3." said Palmer, "out you acted so G dd m smart," and at the same time he struck him with a billy. The attack was cowardly. To strike a man while was sitting in his chair, and he not anticipating anything, was a dastardly :.ct. Palmer, too, is a strong man weighing titty to siity pounds more than Gritbth. The people were so incensed that there was talk of lynching Palmer. Grillith was knocked senseless to the floor and knew nothing for some time. Next morning when he went to his oil.ee he found the bludgeon which Palmer used upon him, coveied with blood. It was left on purpose bv Pa'mer, who swore at the trial vestefday that Griffith used it himself, white he (Palmer) used the butt of his revolver on Griffith. The people have found out what Talmer is, and will be glad to be free from him forever. All honest and respectable citizens are in svmpathy with Griffith irrespective of parties. It will prove a big boom for Griffith. 1Ü3 friends are rallying to his support. Every Democrat in the county will support the News henceforth. NORTHWESTERN CROPS. Tli .Season Fully Two Weeks Karlter Thau last Tear. Chk ac o, April -'. A special dispatch from Minneapolis, Minn., regarding the condition of Northwestern crops, says: "During the past few days some portions of Minnesota and Dakota have been visited by snow storms and frosts. The former have done more good than harm, as moisture was much needed, particularly in Southern Dakota, where very little snow fell last winter, leaving the ground dry this spring. The rains have extended all over the Northwest, being the heaviest in Southwestern Minnesota. Much of the seeds sown on the dry ground had not sprouted but the rain will start it at once. The frosts have been heavy in some places to form ice bat no damage has resulted, as the crop is not far enough advanced. The season has been the most favoraole known for years. The sowing began at least ten days earlier, and, in favored localities, two weeks earlier than last spring. In some portions of the southwest, the crop Is already in, and much of it is up and growing vigorously. The present cool weather is the best jtind of growing weather and will cause the plant to stool out and give it new root. In Southern Minnesota, the work ia a little late, but as the acreage in that section is small, the work can be finished in a short time. The prospects for a big crop in I'd sota are now more favorable. The seasonable rains in the James Uiv r Valley have been of great benefit as it was there ground was the dryest. Not a drop of rain has fallen in some localities in the valley since last .July until this week, and as the snow was light, there was not sufficient moisture im the ground to sprout the seed. In more favored localities wheat is ud and looking well. Along the Northern Pacific seeding is well under way, and a few days more will finih the work. The season is fully two weeks earlier than last year, and the crop has been put in the ground in excellent shape. Estimates as to the acreage very widely, bat there will probably be a small increase in the southern counties. A great deal of flax will be sown, as that crop proved very profitable last year. In the north, along the Manitoba River, more ground will be given to grass and roots for stock than ever before, as farmers are being urged to give more attention to stock-raising and less to wheat. From the first two or three doses of Athlophoros I experienced relief from sciatica. About three quarters of the contents of the bottle seems to have cured me entirely. It will do all it professes. Alvtn E. Crocker, Richmond, Ind. A Pitched Itattle. Gea5d Rapiis, Mich., May 2 Yesterday about 100 hundred men, who wanted everyone to observe a holiday and work only eight hours a day hereafter, marched from place to place making their demands known and receiving recruits as they marched along. Some carried bock beer banners. Oq arrivipg at fuller & FUge's müi, ouii: the

city limits, they started to interfere with the workmen. One leader of the party drew a revolver and ordered everyone to atop work. There being some hesitation at this demand the procession soon raade a break in a body, driving-all bands 'from the mill. jmckly they were met by clubs in the hands of the mill workmen. This changed, the aspect cf affairs, and the mob took refuge behind some freight cars and renewed the battle with stones. At this point the proprietors attempted to make the men withdraw, but they refused and a pitched battle resulted. During the melee one man was hit in the abdomen with a large stone, and another seriously injured. A perfect hail of stones was showered upon the mill workmen by the mob. The police and Sheriff's force were called out and quiet was restored. The employes profess to be entirely satisfied, and say they had no desire to strike.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY. William Gallamor Asaaalts MIm Saunders, Of Spring Point, Illinois, Cut Her Throat and Then His Own. Special to the Sentinel. Mattoon, 111., April 30. Miss Mary Saunders, living at Spring Toint, Cumberland County, was assaulted yesterday by William Gallamore, a half-witted fellow, who had annoyed her for some time with his attentions. She was working in the garden, when Gallamore made an ineffectual attempt to draw her into coversation with him. Ueing repulsed, he became enraged and seized her in his arms. He then made an attempt to take her life with a large knife. Notwithstanding her eforts to free herself, he succeded in cutting her throat, severir.the jugular veia. Thinking that he had taken her life, he cat his own throat in a similar manner. He will probably die. His victim is still alive today, but there i3 not much hope of her ultimate recovery. Spring Poiy.t Township is greatly excited over the affair. Gallamore's own low condition only prevents mob vengeance from being meted out to him. MISS SANDERS DEAD. The Victim of a Crank Lover Die- of Her Wounds Talk of Lynching. Special to the Sentinel. Mattc-'N. 111., May 1. Mis Mary Sanders, the youiig '. ly whose throat was cut by her would-be lover, .ied oa last night at the borne of her aunt. Mrs. Sanders, la Spring I'oiot Township, (.'umrlaad County, The half-witted murderer, Win. Gailamore, was promptly placed under arrest and given a prelimiuary hearing this morning as he lav in bed with an ug'.y self-inflicted gah 1 his throat, in the same house where his victim died. At times he teemed rational and acknowledged the biood-staiued knife, with which the cutting was done, to he his. He was held to answer at the August term of foi:rt. The authorities remove! him to the county jail at Toledo, arriving late this evening. Gillamore tries to apj-ear more crazy than he really is. hut his appearance indicates that he is not much ou mentally. The evidence seems to show that it was a ca.-e of premeditAted murder. Notwithsta Delias his condition, there is a strong feeling among fcpriag I'oint c itizens to see speedy justice follow the wanton murder. lie is undoubtedly safer behind the bars than In the vicinity where the corpse of his victim lies. He tells a disconnected story, admitting having eaten dinner with the fair Miss Sanders Thursday, and again claiming taat he Joe not remember anything about the shocking deed, but does not seem to be Luuxh soared. I-ate this eveniuj small groups of men are gathered In the stret u oi Toledo d:.-cusing the sad affair, and the uUi talk cf mot. law i indulged in. A Daring Bobbery. Wiynsor., Mo., May 2. Saturday evening about 8 o'clock a daring robbery was perpetrated at the residence of Elder S. K. Hallorn, in Pettis County, six miles east of this place. Lcose horse3 were observed about the house, and Mr. Hallorn and his son Arthur went out to see about them. They saw parties skulking about and returned to the house for guns. Arming themselves they pursued the robbers and soon got a sight at three of them, when Arthur fired, apparently inflicting a serious wound upon one, who was dragged by his companions a short distance, when they were joined by a man on horjeback, who took the wounded man up with him and disappeared, as also did the two others Arthur continued the search. In a short time he felt himself seized by the foot and was at the same time struck on the head, causing him to lose consciousness. He was then tied securely, a wooden gag forced into his mouth, and thrown into a ravine. A searching party was organized. Mr. Hallorn missed his son and the boy was soon found, his stilled groans attracting the attention of one who was nassing by. He was not seriously injured, though suffering severely from the blow on the head. After disposing of the boy the robbers went to the house, where they found a clear field, Mrs. Hallorn having become frightened and fled to a neighbor's. They went through the house, but they only got $35. It was thought to have been done by an organized band of thieves, but up to tbiswrititg no clew has been discovered, although they are being hunted for by armed men. An Atrocious Marder. Mount Sterling, Ky., May 2. Yesterday afternoon, at Jeffersonville, a yilliage in the eastern part of this county, a shooting occured which will result in the death of one of the paiticipants if by this writing he has not already expired. The particulars, although meager, stamp it as one of the moat atrocious killings that has ever occured here. Tom Howard and Kelt Salvers had had a previous altercation respecting a certain local election. The matter was supposed to have been dropped. Yesterday, however, the quarrel was resumed, during which Salyers disputed some assertion of Howard's, when the latter hastily pulled his revolver and deliberately tired on Salyers, who was unarmed, shooting him through the breast. The murderer has not been apprehended, although his capture is confidently expected. If caught serious trouble will likely ensue, as Silyers is largely connected, and his kinsmen will see that "Howard is safely turned to the keeping of the law. On the other hand, Howard has several brothers who are desperate and will defend him to the death. Both factions are noted throughout the county as fearless, desperate men when acting under impulse or incentive. Further developments are likely to follow. William Black, Abington, Iowa, was cured of cancer of the eye by Dr. Jones' Red Clover Tonic, which cures all blood disorders and diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys. The best tonic and appetizer known. Fifty cents. Poison from bees, hornets, spider bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the application of equal parts of common salt and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed in on the place bitten or stung. In view of a threatened epidemecof coughs like that of a year ago in Philadelphia, the Health Commissioner of Maryland officially recommends Red Star Cough Cure for throat troubles, as being free from opiates, Bafe and snre, and having none of the harmful feat vsofptkercugmjUtnxea, 01 j 25 cent.

. What Baking Powder Sla We Uae? , This plain question comes home to every housekeeper. We all desire pure a&d w holela 0 Hie food, and this can not be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer a question that all the cheaper, lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As loth as we may be to admit so much against what may have . been some of our household gods, there can be no gainsaying the nnanimous testimony of the official chemists, indeed,-analysts asem to find no baking powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients except the Royal, and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of the baking powders advertised as pure to contain, under the tests of Professors Chandler. I labirshaw and others, nearly 12 per cent, of lime, while others are made from alum, with no cream of tartar. This, we presume, accounts for their lack of leavening power, as sometimes complained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained f by ourselves. But aside from the inferiority of the work done by these powders, the physiologists assure us that lime and alum taken into the system in such quantities as this are injurious. They are not decomposed by heat and not dissolved ia mixing or baking. They go with the bread, therefore, into the stomach, where their physiological eöectaare indigestion, dyspepsia or worse evils. The question naturally arises, Why do these cheap baking-powder makers use these things? Alum is three cents a pound, lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty-five or forty. The reasons for the chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the Chicago Tribune in an interesting description of anew metboi for refining argols, or crude cream of tartar. It seems that it is oniy under this process that cream of tartar can be freed from the lime natural to it and rendered chemically pure: that the patents and plant for this cost the Royal Baking Powder Company about half a million dollars, and that they maintain exclusive control of the rights. Professor McMurtrie, late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, I. C, in the interests oi commerce, made an examination of this process and reported upon the results attained in the refined cream of tartar. The following extract from his report would seem to answer the question repeated at the head of this article, which we have heard so frequently projounded by our lady friends: "I have examined the cream of tartar used by the Poyal Paking Powder Company in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it to be erfectly pure and free from lime in any form. The chemical test3 to which I have submitted .the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly healthful and free from every deleterious substance. "Wm. McMi'rtrie. K. M., Ph. D., "Chemist in Chief, U. S. Dep't of Agriculture." THE WEEK.
