SCIENCE IN BREAD MAKING.
At the the recent annual meeting of
the American Chemical society held in
Washington, D. C., the question of the
value of carbonate of ammonia as a
leavening agent in bread or as used in
baking powders came up for discussion, in
which Professor Barker of the University
of Pennsylvania, and president of the so-
ciety ; Dr. Richardson, late of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
Washington; Dr. Wm. McMurtrie, late
professor of chemistry of the Brooklyn,
N. Y , board of health, and professor of
chemisty of the Long Island college and
others took part.
The consensus of the opinion was over-
whelming in favor of the employment of
ammonia. It was stated as a fact that
ammonia rendered the gluten of the
flour more soluble than the original
gluten, and the bread in which this
action was produced by carbonate of
ammonia must be more digestable and
hence more healthful, and because of the
extreme volatility of carbonate of am-
monia, and its complete expulsion from
the bread in the process of baking, it is
one of the most useful, most healthful
and most valuable leavening agents
known.
These conclusions are borne out by the
very elaborate and exhaustive experi
ments made by Professor J. W. Mallet,
of the University of Virginia, which
show conclusively that bread made with
a baking powder in which one per cent
of carbonate of ammonia is used in con-
nection with cream of tartar and soda, is
not only of uniformly better color and
texture, but a product more wholesome,
because the ammonia serves to neutral-
ize any organic or lactic acids present in
the flour. ____________________
FULFILLING SCRIPTUAL PROPHECY.
Boone, the famous hop tamer, who
performs with a gang of half a dozen
lions all turned loose into a circus ring,
is fulfilling the inspired prediction that
the “lion and the lamb shall lie down to
gether.” This remarkable wiid beast
trainer in addition to harnessing these
ferocious monsters to chariots, making
them play see-saw, form pyramids,
dance, leap, etc., causes the entire lot
to lie down and a girl reclines upon their
tawny bodies, and a contented canine
reposes by the side of those extended
monsters. If this is not an indication of
the approach to the millenium, it cer-
tainly is of the Adam Forepaugh show
which will be here Thursday, October
22.
WEDDING BELLS.
SMITH—TARLETON.
Mr. J. Farley Smith and Miss Lucy
Tarleton of Montgomery, Ala., were
united in marriage last night at the resi-
dence of Mr. Joseph F. Campbell. Rev.
S. M. Bird read the impressive service
of the Episcopal church and the beauti-
ful young bride was given away by Mr.
Campbell.
Only the immediate relations were
present, with the exception of Mr. J. C.
Stuart of the Pacific Express company,
with which company the groom is also
connected. Every detail of the happy
occasion was arranged with the greatest
care. The decorations were simple and
artistic, the refreshments were of the
choicest delicacies of the season.
It is seldom a young couple start out
on the journey of life with brighter
prospects. Mr. Smith is a nephew of
Mrs. J. F. Campbell and by his excel-
lent business ability and integrity of
character has won the esteem and re-
spect of all.
The bride had been the guest of Mrs.
Campbell during the past summer and
her lovely disposition and pleasing man-
ners have won the hearts of those with
whom she has been association.
The happy couple were the recipients
of many useful and costly presents.
The warm place which Mr. Smith
holds in the hearts of his co-workers
was attested by the elegant silver water
service and butter dish which they pre-
sented to him.
The W. H. Y.’s sent a clock of the
most exquisite workmanship to testify
to their appreciation of this popular
member.
The newly-wedded couple will be at
home at the residence of Mayor Fulton,
where they will receive the congratula-
tions and best wishes of a host of
friends.

Hall Got Up the
Day Celebration.
The Galveston News of October 7 had
a very friendly mention of the celebra-
tion of German Day, hut did not state
that the idea originated in Turner hall.
Some weeks ago Mr. Carstadt, a mem-
ber of the Turner Social society, at one
of its meetings proposed the celebration
of German Day, and as the proposition
was accepted a committee was appointed
to confer with the other German socie-
ties, and so set the ball a-rolling. All
the plans were matured in Turner hall.
Turner hall is now the headquarters
for art, sociability and intelligence, and
next year it intends to turn out a Ger-
man Day that Galveston will be
of.
VIEWING THE JETTIES.
A distinguished party, consisting of
Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt, United States
senator from Georgia, his two daughters,
Messrs. Inman and Mitchell of the firm
of Inman & Co. and the latter’s daugh-
ter arrived in the city thia morning and
were met at the depot by Messrs. Wal-
ter Gresham, R. B. Hawley, Julius
Runge and Leon Blum.
Governor Colquitt is a member of the
Senate committee on river and harbor
improvements, and being on a pleasure
tour through this section desired to view
the jetty works now going on at this
place. They spent the remainder of the
forenoon driving about the city, and after
lunching at the Beach hotel departed for
the north.
Celebrated Clemenceau
the Boards.
The Clemenceau Case is an adaptation
from one of Alexander Dumas’ plays
and was produced at the Tremont opera-
house last evening to a large and highly
delighted audience. The reputation
which this play has acquired elsewhere
and the furore it created in New York
city, where it was first produced, was
enough to arouse much curiosity in it
here.
The alleged immodesty of one of its
scenes of course attracted some prurient
minded persons who do not care for the
histrionic art and seldom visit anything
but the ballet or the variety shows, but
it is safe to say that they went away dis-
appointed as far as their appetites for
immodesty and impurity is concerned.
The startling scene that was looked for
is the one in which the heroine poses for
a sculptor in flesh colored tights made to
represent nudeness, but it is less start-
ling and certainly as free from immod-
esty as any of the female figures which
may be seen in any of the great art gal-
leries of New York, Boston or Philadel-
phia.
The play depicts the fickle nature and
unfaithfulness of a young and beautiful
woman, who marries a poor artist and
afterwards deserts him to return to a
former lover w’hom she had discarded
because of his poverty, b^t who had
now inherited an immense fortune. The
character of this woman Iza is not an
easy one to represent, but Miss Emma
Bell has put into it as much fickle-mind-
edness, insincerity and wickedness as it
possibly could hold. Her part is well
performed, and a more natural Madame
Clemenceau, the affectionate mother of
the poor deluded artist, than Miss Isa-
bella Preston could scarcely be im-
agined.
One of the very best sustained of the
other characters was Miss Genevieve
Beaman as the exiled Russian countess
Dombronowsky, the mother of the hero-
ine, who was as fond of money and dis-
play as she was of cigarettes and her
private toddy.
The Clemenceau Case will occupy the
boards again this afternoon and evening
and should be seen by those who failed
to see it last night. It might be stated
in parenthesis that quite a sprinkling of
ladies attended at last nights perform-
ance and found nothing to shock their
modesty in any part of the perform-
ance.

Pure Virginia Cigarettes. No paste
used. Less paper on each cigarette than
on those of any other brand manufact-
ured. All smokers are aware that the
paste used in closing the edges of the
paper on cigarettes is not pleasant to the
taste, and requires a wide piece of paper
as a lap for the application of the ad-
hesive substance used.
We are now in possession of a patent-
ed process which not only dispenses al-
together with paste, but enables us to
use the very smallest piece of paper con-
sistent with the amount of tobacco con-
tained in cigarettes of the regulation
size.
We are positive that a trial of these
cigarettes will convince smokers that the
following claims we make for them are
well founded:
First. The taste is improved by the
absence of paste. The natural flavor of
the tobacco is more apparent.
Second. While the size of the cigar-
ette is the same as in all other popular
brands, the amount of paper used is less
than on those closed with paste. Smok-
ers with sensitive throats and lungs will
find they do not irritate these organs
like those in which excessive amounts of
paper is used.
Third. The cigarettes contain only
the finest of Virginia tobacco and the
best rice paper made. No deleterious
substances used, either to keep the to-
bacco moist or to give it a flavor not pos-
sessed by the tobacco itselt.
A trial will convince you.

The Clemenceau Case and Its Lesson—
The McKinley Idea in Russia—Fake
Journalism, With a Shameful Case
Near Home— ,'ts Correction Demanded.
The Clemenceau Case is a dramatiza-
tion of a French novel, and it is French
Frenchy. It is the protraiture of the
mad whirl, intrigue, lust, love of money,
giddiness of beauty, and all the
train of evils that follow the reckless
pursuit of those passions in the art cir-
cles of Parsian life. And it is faithfully
drawn and by the realistic hand of a
master. It was well presented last night
and but for the language, one might
easily fancy he was intruding upon the
awful precincts of a home in which the
very demons of depravity had entered.
Much has been written for and against
the play. It has much in it that is re-
pulsive, and little that is attractive, yet
the terrible lesson that it contains can-
not wholly be lost on any audience. The
student that bends zealously over a fes-
tering corpse is searching for that which
will benefit diseased mankind. Health
does not require it no more than a
happy, virtuous home can be benefited
by this play, but for those morally sick
and straying away it must prove a pow-
erful lesson. But it may be urged
that the same lesson could be presented
without so much that is nasty and vul-
gar. Pitched on a higher plain it most
assuredly could be, but if so would it be
so effective? Those who see it must
answer the question.
* *
The McKinley idea of taking from
those who have not and giving to those
who have, by the mysterious legerde-
main of legislation, is an accomplish-
ment not wholly unknown elsewhere.
The principle is an elastic one and may
be made, as fully shown in this country,
to serve a thousand purposes. Specula-
tors, in touch with the majority in con-
gress, watch the making of laws as
keenly as grain dealers the crops. Mil-
lions of dollars’ worth of tin was im-
ported before the tariff was increased
by the McKinley bill and the price ad-
vanced to suit the new law. The no-
bility and merchants of Russia, being
on the inside, knew long beforehand of
the edicts prohibiting the exportation of
rye, and they filled their granaries with
the cereal soon to be made dear by the
new order. The edict came, and with
it famine. The poM 'bad parted with
their grain, and the rich men held it.
Employment can not be obtained, and
in many of the afflicted provinces thou-
sands of women and children are filling
the streets crying for bread. There is
food enough, but it is in the hands of the
rich. They have advanced the price to
suit the artificial scarcity, and it is be-
yond the reach of the poor. They will
enjoy their easily-found wealth, but al-
most every dollar of it will represent the
soul of a starved peasant.
* *
There is as many kinds of journalism
as there are kinds of people. There is
the tri-colored, the chrome-brown, the
flip, the clamist, the obsequious, the su-
percilious, the ponderous, and the N. G.
in box-car type. The latter kind is
largely in the majority. It ’embraces
all that class of papers that perpetrate
scoops, written up in the office three or
four days before the thing actually oc-
curs. There is an element of flippish-
ness in this sort of journalism that swells
around considerably over a two or three
column article that purports to have
come by wire, when it was written in
the office. These office made papers<see
more value in a fist fight a thousand
miles away than in the formation of a
million dollar company at home, and
they bear the same relation to journalism
that a shoddy hand-me-down does to a
tailor-made suit of clothes, a chromo to
an oil ’painting.^ Tuesday thedailybelo
contained a long account of German day
in San Antonio written up in a grandilo-
quent manner. Sprinkled through it
was such Raphaelistic rhetoric as
“lengthy and gallant array,” “streets
filled with excited Germans,” “the air
resonant with the music of bands,”
“sturdy Teutonic figures,” and all that
sort of stuff, when the truth of the mat-
ter is the celebration of German day in
San Antonio will not take place till to-
morrow. The San Antonio Germans are
very indignant, and yesterday the fol-
lowing telegram was sent by the presi-
dent of German day to A. H. Belo &Co.
from San Antonio: “Please correct your
manufactured statement about German
1 day celebration here. It has not and will
not take place before October 9. Will
hold you for damages if not corrected,
(signed) Edgar Schraum.” And this is
the way the “greatest southern news-
s paper” steals the confidence of its read-
> ers!

THE NATIONAL’S OPENING-
When the curtain at the National
theatre rose last evening the house was
jammed with an enthusiastic audience
which throughout the five acts of “A
Dark Secret” expressed its approbation
of play and players by frequent and vo-
ciferous applause.
The company at the National is com-
posed of excellent material. J. S. Thomp-
son in the role of James Norton gave a
breezy and natural performance of the
confiding man who allowed himself to be
so easily imposed upon by his hypocrit-
ical brother Jonas. The latter role was
depicted in a decidedly clever manner by
Joseph Mason. Hudson Liston as Ste-
phen, the slansy and brutal son of Jonas,
went through his villainous work so natu-
rally as to call down upon himself the
execrations of the gallery gods. Miss
Charlotte Ray in the sympathetic role of
Nellie depicted the woes of the heroine
in a perfectly natural manner The May
Joyce of Miss Belle Stoddard was an-
other neat bit of acting, and as she came
before the curtain dripping wet after her
rescue from the river she was greet 3d
with cheers.
All the other roles were in very compe-
tent hands and “A Dark Secret,” despite
a summer temperature, promises to pack
the house every performance this week.

The Norwegian steamship Breifond

o’clock last evening with 9000 bunches
of bananas, 14,000 cocoanuts and a box
of gold dust consigned to the Bluefields
Banana company.
Mr. and Mrs. Jake Weinberger and
their son who have been spending some
months in Nicaragua came up as passen-
gers.
The following is a condensation of the
log of the Breifond: “Left Galveston
September 18. Had head winds and
seas to Bluefields, where we arrived in
the evening of the 25th. Left Blue-
fields the next day for Bocas del Toro
and arrived there in the forenoon of the
27th. Sailed from Bocas on the 30th and
had brisk breezes and rather rough
weather with high seas during the last
twenty-four hours of the homeward pass-
age. Arrived at Galveston bar last night
at 6 o’clock.”

Case Ou
They Refuse to Grant a New Electric
Light Franchise- Several Minor Tilts
Between the Aldermen—An Interesting
Session Taken as a Whole.
Aiderman Fowler was the only mem-
ber who failed to respond at roll call of
the adjourned session held yesterday af-
ternoon.
The city attorney reiterated in a spe-
cial report his opinion regarding the
powers of the board of public works.
Adopted.
The committee on ordinances reported
adversely on the petition of the new
electric light company for a franchise, on
the grounds that they had been unable
to ascertain the financial standing of the
parties who seek to obtain it and their
ability to give the city good service.
Adopted.
The ordinance committee also reported
an ordinance fixing the fare on street
railways at 2% cents for children between
the ages of three and twelve years.
Mr. Goggan questioned the right of
the council to legislate in the matter of
car fares, to which city attorney Rhodes
answered that in its opinion it had. Mr.
Schmidt then wanted the ordinance
passed under a suspension of the rules,
but Messrs. Allen and Goggan opposed
the motion on the ground that no emer-
gency existed. Mr. Schmidt then with-
drew his motion and the ordinance was
laid over.
DILAPIDATED SHANTIES.
A resolution was adopted requiring
the health officer and chief of the fire
department to inspect the dilapidated
wooden shanties now within the city’s
fire limits and make a report to the
council within thirty days.
An ordinance was introduced and
placed on its regular course authorizing
the filling up of all alleys whenever it
may be necessary to do so in the opinion
of the health physician or city engineer.
Another ordinance regarding the rais-
ing, filling or repairing of sidewalks on
which water remains stagnant after
rainy weather took the same course.
Mr. Bolton from the committee on
public library, in the absence of Chair-
man Fowler, submitted the manuscript
catalagues of that institution and asked
that they be printed.
Mr. Mason favored the motion and
thought it best that they be bound
under one cover and properly indexed.
Mr. Nolan said that the committee
had been instructed to obtain estimates
of the cost and moved that the matter be
referred back to the same committee
with instructions to obtain such.
Mr. Bolton wanted the librarian, Mrs.
Felton, added to the committee. Car-
ried.
DEATH OF MRS. LAMAR.
Evening Tribune : The mournlal an-
nouncement is made of the sudden death
of Henrietta, relict of an illustrious sol-
dier-president of Texas—Mirabeau B.
Lamar.
General Lamar by his patriotism as a
citizen, by his intrepidity as a soldier,
his sagacity as a statesman, and by his
spirit, wisdom and dignity as president,
greatly aided in giving eclat and reputa-
tion to the revolution and government of
the Lone Star republic. His private and
public character was a standard of Amer-
icanism and moral excellence of such
elevation that with that of other found-
ers of Texas it has succeeded in enabling
the people through following this stand-
ard to be considered as the first people
of these United States.
Mrs. Lamar was a Miss Moffatt, one
of three sisters, who were, by reason of
their charming personality, known
throughout Texas as the “Three
Graces.”
Galveston has been for years the city
home of the lady, therefore I deferen-
tially suggest that some of its first citi-
zens forthwith meet to make suitable
arrangements for Galveston’s part in
1 the obsequies of the widow of that gal-
i lant soldier who declared that “the
sword should mark the boundaries of
i Texas.” John Markham.

THE STREET OBSTRUCTION.
Mr. Kaiser, chairman of the commit- ,
tee on streets and alleys, reported that
the wall erected by the bagging and cord- (
age factory across Thirty ninth street i
had been removed, as ordered by the
council. i
This brought forth a lengthy and ,
somewhat heated debate, in which most
of the councilmen participated, and
which did not terminate until Messrs.
Wegner and Harris called a halt by ,
stating that too much time was being
wasted on a matter that already had
been settled.
Under the head of unfinished business
an ordinance amending an ordinance
providing for the issue, sale and redemp-
tion of bonds was read by caption, placed
upon its final passage and passed unani-
mously.
Another ordinance defining the crime
of loafing was also passed after some de-
bate during which it was made to appear
that Pullman sleeping car passengers
coming in at night would be loafers
under the wording of this ordinance if
they remained in their berths until
morning.
The ordinance regarding the sale of
meat and fish was the signal for another
heated debate which consumed consider-
able time, but it was finally adopted by
a vote of 12 to 2 Messrs. Gallagher and
Goggin voting against it.
GOING FOR THE BEACH.
Mr. Schmidt asked the chief of police
how many officers were made to do duty
at or around the Beach hotel, and being
answered that two men were generally
assigned to that locality, proceeded to
handle the Beach Hotel company with-
out gloves. He said that it had not,
since its organization, paid a cent of
taxes, except the school tax for one year,
and was now $1,882 in arrears. He in-
quired of the city attorney as to how to
proceed to make the company pay up,
and Mr. Rhodes replied that suit had
been instituted by his predecessor in
office and was now pending in the dis-
trict court.
Mr. Goggan then read a clause from
the city charter, which prohibits any ai-
derman or city official to be interested in
contracts, etc., for the city, and gave no-
tice that he, as chairman of the commit-
tee on claims and accounts, would
henceforth refuse to sign or approve
such claim submitted, even though it
was in the name of the sisters, the
cousins or the aunts of the parties he
referred to.
Mr. Schmidt demanded to know if the
remarks Vvere aimed at him, but Mr.
Goggan said that several members of the
council were implied—no one in par-
ticular.
A resolution introduced by Mr. Harris
requiring the city engineer to furnish
estimates of cost for grading, filling and
paving certain streets resulted in a num-
ber of amendments and much discustion.
Nearly every aiderman wanted some
CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY GOODS,
Very few people, not even dentists
and physicians, have been aware until
recently how much the health depends
on sound teeth. The following are only
a few of the many diseases that have re-
sulted in death, the cause being directly
traceable to one or more decayed teeth
neglected too long: Parulis, diphtheria,
abcess of lungs, esteomyolitis, suppera-
tive periostitis (resulting in pyemia),
-gangrene, septicaemia (blood poisoning),
tenanus (lockjaw), inflammation of
brain cavity, etc., etc., besides many
other diseases not fatal, such as blind-
ness, neuralgia, fevers, dyspepsia (and
dyspepsia causes numerous other com-
plaints), headache, etc. Either have a
decaying tooth extracted or filled at
once, for in it may lurk poison enough to
destroy your life.
A little money paid to Dr. Perkins,
Dentist, will often save much misery.

particular street in bis own ward in-
cluded. Mr. Goggan ridiculed the spirit
of jealousy in a matter of such general
interest as this and Mr. Harris spoke
earnestly and forcibly in favor of the
resolution, which as adopted will give
the engineer all the work he can attend
to for some time to come.
The council then adjourned.
