AROUND THE WORLD.
Interesting Tests as to the Keeping Quality
of Baking Powders.

oil BAKING fOWuerS.
One of the most important qualities of q
perfect baking powder is that of retaining
its strength for a length of time In any eli
phere, Most baking powders after being
exposed to the air short time, or IT not
used when first made, will become lumpy
or caked in the can. This condition is
caused by the ingredients having acted
upon each other, and whenever found is a
sure indication that the powder has lost its
strength. Some experiments recently made
by Professor Schneider, of New York, with
old samples of Royal Baking Powder will
prove Interesting to all consumers Of these
usefu! articles. A grocer in Providence, K.
L., found in neglected corner of his store
several boxes of the Royal brand bearing
an ancient LABEL which he ascertained had
been in his stock over ten years. Knowing
that most baking powders lost their
strength shortly after combination, he sup.
posed this TO be worthless, and threw it
away. A porter took box home, and
upon using portion was surprised to find
that biscuits raised from it were perfectly
light, sweet and excellent. A sample there
upon was sent to Professor Schneider, who,
upon careful test found that this powder,
after having been for ten years exposed to
the atmosphere-for it was not in an air
tight package had lost in strength less
than one-halt of one per cent. In another
instance, a gentleman going to South Afri-
ca took among his supplies a five-pound
can of the Royal Baking Powder. The
Journey EN- braced tour around the world,
besides visit to several countries off the
regular route, aud consumed over two
years time. The baking powder was
opened for use in Liverpool.
London. Marseilles, on the Med
iierranean, while crossing Persia. at
Bombay, Madagascar, Cape Town, Cal
cutta, Hong Kong, while on the Pacific,
and in California. 1t was subject to all the
variableness of climate through which 1t
passed, the dampness of the ocean air, the
heats of the equatorial ATTITUDES, the fogs
of London, and the rainy season of Cilifor-
MIA. Upon returning to New York guam
tity remaining in the can. was turned over
to Prof Schneider for analysis, the result oil
which showed the powder to possess the
same degree OF strength and rising power as
when il was made, there being after all
this time, and under all these circumstan-
ces no deterioration perceptible.
One of the great merits of the Royal
Baking Powder is this superior keeping
quality, which is due TO the care used in
its manufacture. All its ingredients, being
first determined absolutely pure, are thor
ouehly dried. coated, prepared and com
bined go that nothing but the application
of water or the heat OF cooking will cause
them TO act upon each other. or to liberate
their leavening gases. For this reason the
Royal" when used after having been
kept ia any climate Or lor any length q
time, will always produce the same super
ior and effective results.

ST. LOUIS, July DECENTRALIZATION
1890 to-day two well-dressed gentlemen
drove up in front of the Belleville Savings
bank at Belleville. Illinois, about thirteen
miles from st. Louis. They both got out
of the buggy and entered the bank. There
were three clerks in the bank at the time
One OF the gentlemen engaged the cashier
Mr.. A. M. He'gard. in conversation about
some bonds, the movement of the other
party must have been remarkably
quick and quiet, for before any one was
aware of his action he was behind the
counter and had both fists full of money.
One of the clerks gave an unearthly yell
and in an instant all was commotion and
nobody seems to know what did happen,
except that the robbers got away. One
jumped in the buggy and the other fled on
foot. At dark tonight neither had been
captured. The bank officials say the
thieves got no money. Two clerks say
they saw a large package of bills in the
hands of the man who fled on foot. The
officers of the bank will not talk on the sub
ject, save to insist they lost nothing
ST.. LOUIS, July 7.-[Press 1.-The Post
Dispatches special from Belleville, Illinois,
says that 1890 to-day two men entered the
Belleyille savings bank. One engaged the
cashier while the other got behind the
counter and made grab for money, when
he was seen by one of the clerks. Both
ran out of the bank, one jumped in buggy
and the other ran, closely pursued, by sew
eral citizens. Both finally escaped. The
officers of the bank claim that nothing
was stolen, but clerk says he saw pack
age of money in the hands of the obber
who was behind the counter.
An investigation shows that the thieves
got 81, 454. There were three of them, and
they planned for big haul. One engaged
the cashier in conversation about renting a
building, second secured the assistant
cashiers attention. while third entered
the bank, walked along to the end of the
counter, then got down on his hands and
knees and crawled to table on which some
money was laying, orawed out and walked
out of the building. A son OF the cashier.
seven years old, saw the fellow crawl up
and get the money, and followed him two
blocks before giving the alarm. The three
men have been in Belleville nearly week.

ST. LOUIS, July 7.-[Special. 1.-The Re-
publican will print in the morning an in
terview with Governor Crittenden, in which
he announces his determination to enforce
the Downing bill in every respect. One
feature of the bill is the prohibition of the
sale OF all liquors on Sunday or the keep
ing open of saloons. This is provision,
especially, the governor says that shall be
enforced. 1t Is an old law, having been on
the statute books for many years, but has
been a dead letter. The Downing bill
passed, by the last legislature, imposes a
higher license on dram shops and the gov
ernor says neutralizes this old statute to
such degree he views it as a mandate
from the people, and will enforce it accord
ingly. He hints that If the present st.
Louis police can't or won't enforce it others
can be found who will. When this decara-
ton is made public there will be howl
and there will be lively times fora while.

The City street railroad company has re-

president of the company to-day, saying
that the state would make arrangements 10
grade the street and change tue road. The
com oany was also informed that the super
intenuent of public grounds would be in

the state, so far, having failed to receive
any cooperation from the city council
in needed improvements, steps VIII
be taken to have them carried out, regard
passes over the ground the superintendent
is to take charge of and it will necessitate
the removal of the railway by the COM
pany. The opposition to having this street

structed is led by Aldermen Kinney and
Radkey. The state having absolute con-
troll of the streets of Austin for any state
improvement, it is probable she will take
the sewer in her own hands and build IT..
