Left Life On The Anniversary Of
His Birth.
UNSWERVING, HONEST, ABLE.
Chicago, April 29.—J. Sterling Mor-
ton died at Lake Forest on the sev-
entieth anniversary of his birth. lie
was born in Jefferson county, New
York on April 27, 1832.
Washington.—Julius Sterling Mor-
ton was in Washington for four years
as secretary of agriculture in President
Cleveland's second administration. He
was a man of steadfast convictions,
unswerving, honest and undoubted
ability. By nature a controversialist,
Mr. Morton came to the cabinet with
many fixed ideas about the government
berviee. lie was a practical farmer
and ran his department along practical
lines, but nevertheless not without
many squabbles. He regarded the
distribution of seeds as paternalistic
and on that subject found himself in
opposition to congress.
The ex-secretary was the author of
Arbor day, April 22, which began to
be observed generally during his in-
cumbency as head of the department
of agriculture is . now generally ob-
served in all the states. His constant
motto was to "plant trees, having it
stamped in large letters under a pic-
ture of a tree on his stationery. He
was an inveterate letter writer. He
found keen enjoyment in answering
the communications from farmers and
it was no unusual occurrence for him
to call newspaper men into his office to
read the answers he was writing to
farmers, often giving out portions of
them for publication.
He was of Scotch-English descent.
He was a graduate of Union college,
New York. Mr. Morton was connect-
ed editorially for. a time, with the
Detroit Free Press and the Chicago
Times and then located at Belleville,
Neb., in November. 1854. where in
April following he issued the first num-
ber of the Nebraska City News. He was
elected to the territorial legislature
the same year and re-elected in 18;i7.
lie was appointed secretary of the
territory in 1S5S to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of I homas 1>.
Cuming and served until May 18G1,
part of the time as acting governor.
He was elected to congress in 1860,
but was unseated as the result of a con-
test. He was four times nominated by
his party as governor of Nebraska, but
was defeated each time.
CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND CON-
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.
Judge Clarke of St. Louis has con-
victed and fined heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powder#
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart-
ment of New York seized a quantity
of EtufT being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from
alum mixed with ground rock, and
dumped it into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to present the
introduction into our markets of in-
jurious substitutes in place of whole-
some baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents a
pound, there is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub-
stitutes and imitation goods, to us#
It. Alum baking powders can be de-
tected by the health authorities bf
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance in pro-
tecting the health of th? people is im-
portant, cannot make a chemical ex
amination. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten to
twenty cents for a pound can, or
that some prize—like a spoon or
glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden
ware—is given with the powder as an
inducement.
As the people continue to realize th®
Importance of this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow-
der of established name and charac-
ter, and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, It is hoped, finally
be driven from our homes.

pany has made a protest and appealed
to the authorities at W ashington. 1 lie
importing season has just opened and
the ruling will affect thousands of
young cattle that are to be shipped to

IRONING A SHIKT WAIST.
Not infrequently a young womaa
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser-
vant cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
Ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron-
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the. shirt waist ia
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer,
