Table Talk.

Every lady who presides at table is inter-
ested to know how she can depend upon hav-
ing things come upon the table as she would
like them. How often are remarks like this
made: This isjust my fate; when I especially
want NICE thing, somehow or other, it turns
out poor"
A lady exoects company for tea. She or
ders, for instance, biscuits, and they are
brought to the table heavy and indigestible.
How many housekeepers can testify to morti-
feation, as well as disappointment, under such
circumstances! 1t may rot, however, have
occurred to them that it is not always the
"cook's fault" Your biscuits, cakes, pot
pies, buildings, etc, ETC., cannot be raised with
earth or worthless substitutes, and It becomes
your own fault when you permit any Baking
Powder to come into your kitchen about
which you know absolutely nothing as to its
purity or healthfulDess.
The market is flooded with ''iow-priced''
Baking Powders, gotten up to make an unjust
profit by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers and
dealers, and it is worthy the attention of all
housekeepers to note there is at least one
brand Of Baking Powder distinctly sold upon
its merits, and whish can be relied upon for
uniform strength and purity. The Royal Bak
ing Powder, now known almost the world
over as standard article, has stood the test
Of nearly quarter of a century, and lis friends
among the ladies are legion.

He Wanted q Certificate.

a prominent member OF tbs fire department
went into the office Of tie clerk OF the court
yesterday, and told Mr.. Bell that he wanted a
marriage license. The clerk filed up the blank
and asked for the lady'S name, which was
given and inserted. By this time the gentle
man began to think it vas time TO stop the
joke, and that it was net, after all, so much
OF a joke as he intended it to be. He wanted
the papers stopped, and his name
erased from the recoId. He was informed by
the clerk that he was little too ia,e. The
record was made up and could not be al
tered. The gentleman hoped around the
clerks slice as though he had a bunch OF
lighted fire crackers IL his trousers pockets,
or near that point, and declared he only meant
1t for joke, but he was informed that Jokes
OF that character were not received in that Of
fee during business hours. He labored long
and pers.stently to have MS name and that of
the lady erased from the record, but tie clerk
had no power 10 do that. He could see no
way to do but TO allow the record to stand
just as it was made. Then there was weeping
and wailing, and that member of the fire de,
partment tore around in despair to think that
the newspapers would get hold OF tbs whole
thing ana publish it in the morning Then he
would be ruined. The first brilliant idea
that struck him was to shut out the newspa-
per6 and not let them know anything about il,
and so he went to work on that tack and this
is the result. The newspapers could not find
out anything about the matter and SO they
will not say word about it. Why should
they?

BELLEVUE, N. j., Aug. 14.-When Corey,
the owner of the Bellevue house. near Long
Branch, went to Mr.. Fields room at this
morning and told him he had fitted up hos
pital ambulance for Andrews and Mrs. Levy,
Field refused to allow Andrews to be re-
moved, and Levy, who had been called, re-
fused to allow his wife to be taken from the
hotel. The conversation following was
stormy one, and all the guests on the floor
were awakened. When ore OF the Field party
spoke of locking the doors, Corey said
''If you do will Call my engineer and take
out side Of the house if necessary" Some
ore spoke of defending the room with re-
volvers, and Corey said, "Then it will be
question of who has the most revolvers, most
grit and most men" Corey offered
to manage the hotel for Levy and Field after he
had received two checks for 81, 800 each, they
TO be credited with all receipts and to be
charged with all expenses. This offer met
with the reply, eve did not come down here
to run hotel It is understood the $1,000
demanded by Corey has been paid. Only the
two sick persons, their friends and physicians
are in the hotel.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Wheat to-day was
very weak, although only little lower at

Stocks--In the stock market the week
opened with stronger tone to share specula-

Northwestern properties, which had favor
sble effect upon the list generally. This up
ward movement was led by Northwestern, the
preferred rising7 per cent. from the closing
price Of Saturday to 172 per cent, and COM
mon per cent. to 14S15 per cent. These
quotations are the highest yet paid for pre-.
ferred and within l per cent. of highest for
common. ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
was next in point Of advance, suddenly rising
per cent TO IA per cent. st. Paul sympa-
thized with this improvement and sold up to
the stock named attracted much attention,
and was cause for comment. The coal roads
were quite prominent, and nearly all i'm
proved. The rise in some Vanderbilt shares
was due to orders to buy and bull points from
Saratoga. Southwestern shares we're all firm
er and 15@M per cent. higher than closing

Northwestern roads undoubtedly started the
market on the upward turn, and led to more
bullish feelings generally. In the afternoon

Later the market became active and strong,
but IN the last hour was less active than earlier

The remainder Of the list was steady at a frac-
