The Cincinnati man who led his wife out of theatrical matinee by the ear, in order to break her of the habit of going to thea tres, has been made very conspicuous by the publication and discussion of his exploit. "But I don't mind it." he says, flor I feel that I have accomplished much good. My wife IS not the only woman in Cincinnati who has neglected her children and her household affairs to visit matinees once or twice every week, but there are hundreds of them, and it is time tbat husbands and fathers entered their protest. She knew the characters and plots of at least hundred plays, and was for ever talking about them. She gave me no rest, and was worse than a stage-struck youth, who is eternally quoting from the drama. Nearly every move 1 made, or opin- ion 1 expressed she ikened me to some character she had seen at the theatre. One night had the toothache like thunder, and was walking up and down the sitting room floor with my hand up to my jaw, when she peeped ill at me, and after looking moment, said: Hello, Hamlet to pull or not to pull'" His chief grievance, however, was that she called him Toodles, and that seems to have been the melting cause for his raid in the theatre.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand 5000 Ibss of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by pr. Ed ward C.. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuit) than either the "Roya1'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com- missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners,
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ica11y expressed in its favor is fully sustained.

Certain express companies had goods Gen. trusted to their care as earriers) on board the steamer Narragsnsett when that vessel came into collision with the Stonington on the night of June II, 1880, on Long Island Sound. They were insured against fire in several insurance companies. Fire broke out on the Narragansett immed ately after the collision, and the vessel sank within one hour after the accident. The plaintiffs goods were not touched by fire, but sank with the vessel and were damaged by salt water. The plaintiffs brought suit against the fire companies on the policies. The case was tried year ago in the Superior Court for Suffolk county, Mass, and sent to the Supreme Court on law points, The Supreme Court sent it back for trial by jury again, and the jury has returned verdict for the plain tiffs for their full claim. The case has ex- cited attention, because it tends to settle what rights express companies have under fire policies where accidents occur by land or water.

Mir. R. B. Roosevelt has resigned from the board of trustees of the Brooklyn bridge, in which he has served three years. His letter to the Mayor asserts that, though he has en- deavored to acquaint himself with the inner workings of the department, he has been unable to obtain the information he sought Occasionally information leaked out. Mr. Roosevelt says the employees have remained a long time In office and seem doubly bound to secrecy. While he knows of no wrong doing, he knows nothing of the management in the way & trustee ought to know, and so he resigns Among the accidental discover ies made by MT. Roosevelt were the facts that many telegraph and telephone compa- nies were running wires over the bridge without paying for the privilege which their own offers subsequently, proved to be very valuable. One member of the board, with out consultation with his associates, gave or ders which added twelve hundred tons to the weight of the superstructure. In Mir. Roose velts opinion no outsider ever will know just how the bridge affairs have been man. aged, and he thinks the bridge will not be finished in two years.
