THE PRESIDENCY IN 1900- In an article 011 tlie probability of Admiral Dewey being a candi date lor the Democratic nomination in 1900, the Northumberland Coun < ■ Democrat has the following to | siv The politicians in all parts lio are unfriendly to President { McKinley are casting about for a | 1 .ndidate to pit against him in j 00. If they cannot defeat him | a renomination they propose to at up an invincible candidate :ainst him. Many names have •'Cently been mentioned, among :coi Admiral Dewey, the hero of 'auilia. If the Admiral has any • ' tics he is a Democrat, although ■ ~iie of his friends claim he is a i (>itblican. A prominent Demo < :it said the other day : If Dewey will accept the Detn , ratic nomination he will be a 1 enough Democrat for us. Gen ■ .•■'.( Grant, it will be remembered, ; 1. always been a Democrat until nas nominated for President by Republicans. It is not neces sary for anybody to inquire what aev's political affiliations have ii . \in the past. If he will accept i Democratic nomination in 1900 !■ can have it, and he would be ■ted by a unanimous vote. Mr. . Kinky and his friends had bet i keep an eye on Admiral Dewey, '('here is 110 instance of a naval r" ever becoming a candidate for •. tical honors. At the same time < is nothing in the constitution ne United States which forbids I A Close Relationship 'it* relationship which the baking j.. .. iers bear towards our health is ing to be appreciated. 1 ere is no doubt that the indiges ,-nd dyspepsia of which many 1 . cans complain are caused by i. indiscriminate use of alum bak ■iowde s. These baking powders, n 1 their lower price, from the per - ncy with which they are adver as pu.e cream of tartar powders, (i 'rom the tempting schemes with <*, Mch they are offered, are being pur , 1 -cd by trany housekeepers. That ,i,i baking powders are unwhole . .I,l* is a fact as well established as I irsenic is a poison. There must ording'y be the greatest care ex i rosed by the housewife to keep :,,ern from her food. A chemical analysis only will expose their true ivaracter. Even the price at which iliti are sold is not always a mark to i,i.vntify them. There is certain safety in the use II die well known brand, Roya' Bak- Powder. The Royal is not only certified by the Government chemists • from alum and from all adultera itop, but every housewife feels a con tultnce when using it which she can not have with any other powder. It I*. made from chemically pure cream a Urtar, and is actually an anti-dys -0 ptic promoting digestion and add irm i®. the wholesomeness of the food. Engine Built in France. i.i-;omotive Built in 66 Hours-Has Been Beat in the United States. In experiment test was made n*i cntly by the French Eastern Rail says the Le Genie Civil, just to hi out in how many hours a loco -1 :ive could be assembled in the s' ips at Eperney. The result was v. j satisfactory to them inasmuch as tin entire work required but 66 IK urs from the time the order was giv en to the shops until the engine was / i.'ly to run out upon its trial trip. "I'll, time has, however,, been exceeded i 1 his country While the work was j ing on one of the officials took photographs from time to tsme and the s acs made a very interesting record. I'iiTing the first hour the frame work was put in place and riveting began, fart after part was brought in and ir the twenty-second hour the loco motive began to assume something like shape. At the forty ninth hour the lo comotive was so far ready the minor fixtures could be mounted, such as the air brakes, the stuffing boxes and oth er details. From now on it seemed as if ? eng'ne was ready to start, yet some rr?y mportant parts were still missing, for instance, the eccentric and driving H/,ls. In the fifty-eighth hour the heavy lutk was all done, the tackle had been removed and the adjustment of the fittings in the cab was started. In the sixty-fourth hour the engine could have started, if required, but only two hours later it left the shop for a trial of 22 miles, which it covered without a hitch in 48 minutes. The mounting required 976 working hours. NEXT MINUTE MAV MEAN DEATH. If the heart flutters, palpitates or tires easily you may be next door to sudden death and not kuow it. Dr. Agnew s tare for the Heart gives instant relief and cures. "The pains about my heart were so severe I could hardly breathe. 1 thought I must die. One dose of Dr Aguew's Cure for the Heart gave me perfect relief inside of 20 minutes, a few bottles cured. I firmly believe it saved my life.— Mß. JOHN JAMIESON, TARA, Ont. —81. Sold by C. A.
