Hew Railroad.
The Western Maryland railroad
which extends over a territory from
Baltimore to Marietta, this state, and
is owned by the municipality of the
Monumentical City is offered for sale
and among the bidders, is the Phila
delphia 4 Reading Railway Company.
To the casual reader the above infor
mation does not aeem startling but a
further inveetlgaton reveals the fact
If the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
Company secures this line, it means
much prosperity for the entire division
between Wlillamsnort and Tamaoua.
For some time the Western Mary
land line has been for sale and about
one week ago the bids were onened.
A syndicate from Baltimore offered
$11,000,000, the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway Compauy $8,000,000 and the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
$7 000,000.
The directors of the rilroad declared
all bids off. The reason advanced was
that the City desire to sell only to a
business advantage to the City. They
favored Philadelphia & Reading Rail
road Company because if that corpora
tion bought the ilne.it would mean the
advent of a new railway into tha city
and a direct line to Buffalo, N. Y. '
Later in the week a meeting of the di
rectors of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway Company was held, and in
formation has it that corporation will
Increase its bids to $20,000,000.
In the event of sale to the last named
line, the Reading will own its own
road from Baltimore to Harrisburg.
A t present the Reading owns
right of way between Harrisburg and
Clement station opposite Sunbury, and
part of the line has been granted.
With this connecting link completed
the Reading would be thrown into di
recteompetltlon Vfth the Pennsylvania'
Railway Company and beddea would
hava a Hhorter route to Bu fTalo.
Again the Reading would ba In pos
aesriinn of a shorter route south for its
hard coal and other freight, as under
the present system all traffic from the
west and the coal region is taken via
Reading and Harrisburg over its own
road and to Baltimore over leased lines.
The acquisition of the western Mary
land railroad with the connection link
built between Harrisburg and Clement
would divert the traffic that Is now be
ing hauled in a roundabout way and
over leased lines.

MlDDLEBUKGH, PA.
Dt-ar Sir : Lead and oil is no longer
the taint to be prosperous with.
As everybody knows lead and oil
chalks or powders off In about three
years three years is its limit
Painters are putting a little fine In
their lead to make it tough it lasts a
good three years with a little zinc.
But painters don't like the job of
mixing zinc. It's a tedious Job, and,
both being white, nobody knows when
the mixing is thorough. It gets half
mixed ; and the paint goes on, a streak
of lead and a streak of zluc. That Is
not good work.
The mistake made is In trying to do
by hand what better done by machin
ery. Hand-work can't compete with
maohinework.
, Devoe lead and sine is your paint It
wears twice aa long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost of keeping a
house well painted to half.

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND
FISCATED IN NEW YORK.
Judge Clarke of St. Louis has con
victea ana nned heavily a number of
grocers for selling baking powders con
taining alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment of New York seized a quantity of
siuir 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 tak
ing effective means to prevent the in
troduction into our markets of injurious
substitutes In place of wholesome bak
ing powders.
As alum costs only two cents a iound
there Is a great temptation for those
manufacturers who mako substitutes
and Imitation goods, to use it. Alum
baking powders can be detected by the
health authoitiea by chemical analysis,
but the ordinary housekeeper, whose
assistance In protecting the heath of
the people Is important, cannot make
a chemical examination. She may
easily know the alum powders, how
evor, 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 the
Importance of this subject and consum
ers insist on having baking powder of
established name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigor jus crusades, the alum danger
will, it is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.
