The reasons why DooIey's Yeast Powder IS
preferred to any other Baking Powder in market
are owing to its perfect purity, quality. quantity
and economy. The ingredients are strictly free
frem deleterious substances, and hence the full
strength of each are obtained, and the results
are uniform every time it is used. This can not
be the case in those of ordinary manufacture,
and for proof of our assertion we simply ask
those who have never used Dooley's Yeast Pow
der to give it a trial. Your Grocer keeps it,

THE HOBOKEN PERRYB0ATs.

The IIoboken Ferry Company has certainly pro-
cured sufficient number OF boats to accommodate
the endless stream OF passengers that constantly
crosses the Hudson But 1t Is utterly impossible to
find those boats run on time. In the morning,
when the traffc is greatest and when every moment
Is precious to the thousands OF business men
anxious to get to New York, hardly ever does q
Loaf start for barclay street between a quarter to
eight anu ten minutes past eight, delay Of twenty
five minutes. THIS delay Is made not only when
instructions are Oh the river but WINE the boat IS
actually wasting steam IN the sip. II passenger
seven A. NJ. he expects to catch boat In ten
minutes. Just as this boat Is about to start q bell
announces the advent OF train hal. q mile distant
the railroad, and the boat waits until said train Is
I'm the depot and all the passengers on board the
boat. Thus those arriving at twenty i've minutes
past seven have TO wait upwards o. twenty minutes
before they start for New York. A few mornings
ago the Terry house was literally crammed with pcO
pie who gave vent to bitter complaints against The
ferry authorities.
