Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they leave
in bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them
a disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste
follows the use of all impure baking pow
ders, and is caused either by their con-
tanning alum introduced to makea cheap
article), by the impure and adulterated
character of other ingredients used, or
from the ignorance of their manufacture
ers of the proper methods of combining
them. These baking powders leave in the
bread a residuum formed of lime, earth,
alum. or other deleteriOus matters, not al
WAYS, though frequently tastable in the
food, and by all physicians classed as in
furious to health. The Royal Baking
Powder is free from this serious
defect In it's use no residum is left,
and the loaf raised by it is always
sweet, light and wholesome, and notice
ably free from the peculiar taste COM
planned of. The reason OF this is because
it is composed of nothing but absolutely
pure materials, scientifically combined in
exactly the proper proportions of acid
and alkali to act upon and destroy each
other, while producing the largest amount
of raising power. We are justified in this
assertion from the unqualified statements
made by the government chemists, who
after thorough and exhaustive tests re-
commended the ''Royar' for governmental
use because of its superiority over all
others in purity, strength and wholesome
ness. There is no danger of bitter bread
or biscuit where it alone is used.

\ Popular COmedy-"Fun in a Board
ing school"

Tomorrow evening Mr.. John Ince will
begin two nights engagement at the
Theatre in the popular comedy, "Fun in a
Boarding School," The Galveston Texas J
-Ve,rs, in speaking of recent performance
in that city, says:
The superb manner in which John +.
Ince's company produced their amusing
comedy. Fun i'm a Boarding School, was
worthy OF the highest praise and a packed
house. Ince surpassed himself, and made
every shade and ray in the piece sparkle
with wit and intelligent acting. 'Pr0fes-
sor Gimcrack' is an inspired creation by
this fine comedian and superior elOcutiOn-
ist. and must be seen to be appreciated.
Miss Ellani was in excellent voice, and
acted with Il nerve which was
really charming. Her solo. in the
first act. from the Pirates of
Penzance,' Mable's song, Take This
Heart received well earned encore
and bOundless applause. Her method is
exceedingly finished and her artistic con-
ceptiOn and sympathetic expression show
most careful culture in the best of schools.
This little lady is by no means an Ordi-
nary sOubrette, but has shown in opera
before and would rival many Of the lead
ing favOrites, should she again essay such
roles. The piece is enjOyably realistic in
all its effects. IL you wish to live your
school boy days over again, do not fail to
see Fun when an opportunity occurs

The City of Bridgeton Affray-The


Wounded Officer at the Infirmary.
The mate of the steamer City of Bridge
ton, Mr.. Thomas Hamilton, who was Sc
verely cut by negro deck hand named
Joe Lyons, near Brunswick, early Sunday
morning. was brought to Savannah on the
early train yesterday morning and re-
moved to the st. JOseph's Inflrmary, where
he is under treatment by DIR. Stone. He
is badly wounded and hacked about the
head and face, and is also cut in the breast
near the heart, in the back and arms.
The difficulty originated in the refusal
of tine negro to obey orders. 1t seems he
was ordered to 90 forward to
work and refused, at the same time
drawing a knife and swearing that
he would die first. He made a rush to-
ward the officer swhO drew his pistol in
defense and fired, the ball taking effect in
the stomach. A few minutes later, when
the officer went to his trunk, and was
bending down, the negro approached, and.
with a knife, stabbed him in several
places, inflicting dangerous wounds. The
wounded man fell to the floor, where he
Law bleeding. Some Of the crew seized the
enraged negro and prevented him from
completing his murderOus designs. He
was placed in safe keeping and turned
over to the authorities at Brunswick on
the arrival of the boat at the wharf. 1t is
not known yet whether the shot will prove
fatal. The wounded officer was brought
to the city as soon as possible and every
attention is given to effect his recovery.
