THE CONVENTION CITY
Arat eaf for ConTsntloas Tho Gw

St.Louis.Mo., Jan.28 There are more
conventions held in St Louis in a year
than there are held in any other city in
the country. This is the result of the
central position of the city; its excel
lent railway facilities, and the reputa

political conventions) Knights Temp

not raise their rates here, nor make
three sleep in a bed when the town
finds it has to provide for a hundred
thousand people. Tiie national con
vention of the Kniimt oi Labor
was the Icst gathering of the
Kind that has been held hnre
this year. Several more are coming.
The builders arc making arrangements
to entertain their National convention;

the National Association of Electri
cians will be here after that, drawn
here by the city's lrading position with
respect tb electrical interests: and still
latei the National Association of Ger
ht'aii Veierans will hold their reunion
here. All of these associations will be
accommodated by the hotels now open.
Three great hotels are being built, but
none of them will be finished till the
fall.
The German citizens of St Louis
are going to make this an exceptional

taking over five thousand members
with them. These Saengerfess de

from here arc all well dr.lled and am

celebration is generally one of the

A case of temporary survival of a
wound which should have, apparently,
caused death, is that of a boy who was
picKing up shavings in a carpenter
shop. He slipped and fell and his
head struck against a revolving buzz
saw. He staggered to his feet and
went to an apothecary to have his
head dressed. He said nis head pained
him terribly. Tnis was not wondered
at when it was found ttmt the saw had
cut through his sicull in such a way as
to divide the two lobes of the brain.
Tne boy lived for several days and re
tained consciouness to the last Ac
cording to the commonplace accept

A Nkw&papki.'s Batti.k With
Dkath. New Yokk, Jan. 30. 1893.
The New York Recorder some time
ago offered $1.0i 0 for a cure for con
sumption. In today's issue it an
nounces its confidence that such a euro
has been discovered. Dr. W. K. AnncK
the author of the cure has been con
ducting twelve tests of his treatment
under the auspices of the Recorder.
The reported results thus far have
been remarKabie. The Recorder to
day announces that the complete treat
ment with medicines sufficient tor a
ten day's preliminary tnai wiil bo
furnished free to each physician and
sufferer from lung troubles throughout
the United States who write to Tne
Amieic Cnemical Co., 1G6 W. 7th

Onr readers have doubtless noticed
the numerous discussions by the scien

value of the various baking

evidence leaves no donbt as to the
superiority of the Royal Baking Pow

An opinion, however, that will have
perhaps greater influence with our
practical housekeepers, is that given by
Marion Harland, the well known anl
popular writer, upon matters pertain
ing to science of domestic economy, of
housekeeping, and of home cooking.
In a letter published in the Ladies
Home Journal, this writer says:
I regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, so far as I have any experienco
in the use of such compounds. Since
the introduction of it into my kitchen,
I have used no other in making bis
cuits, cakes, etc, and have entirely dis
carded for snch purposes the home
made combination of one-third soda,
two-thirds cream of tartar.

Yes."
"Well, it ain't so. It won't work.
The scheme is ro good."
"How do you know?"
"I tried it. Tried it lant Christmas.
Just a year ago. Got stuck on a

above Rockland. Had to stay there
all night. There seemed to be a. pret

and I told them about it. nnd they
