PASTRY WITHOUT BUT TER.

The American pie has been subjected to more
unjust abuse from foreign writer's than any
other of our distinctive products, if we except
the recent TRADE against the American hog.
And yet we cannot say that it has been alto
gether undeserved, because of the villainous
compound, thick, hard, and heavy, that is too
often made to do duty as "crust," and which
by courtesy is called "pastry." Light, tender,
haky and digestibe pie-crust and all kinds of
pastry can be made most readily by the use of
Royal Baking Powder without any butter, or
with half the usual portion If preferred, or
with small quantity of lard or other shorten
ing as desired Pie-cruEt thus made is much
more wholesome and digestible, besides being
more economical and easier prepared. In ad-
dition to saving all the butter if desired, one
third the flour is also dispensed with, as the
crust is rolled that much thinner, the leaven-
ing qualities of the Royal Baking Powder
swelling it to the requisite thickness. If drip
pings or lard be used the Royal Baking Pow
der removes any unpleasant taste, rendering
the crust as short, sweet and pleasant as il
made from the finest butter. Those who know
the appetIzing qualities Of the genuine home
made American pie will rejoice that by the aid
of Royal Baking Powder in the pastry it can be
made quite as digestible as it is delicious.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Fun ON THE RRrsroL.


The laughsble extravaganza of "Fun on
the Bristol" while it failed to draw very
large audience owing to attractions elsewhere,
yet possessed several features of sufficient ex-
cellence to deserve crowded house. Mr.,
Carroll is not tho Widow O'Brion that Mr..
Sheridan made familiar here; he lacks the
peculiar humor and clearness of enunciation
which marked the latter gentleman's imper-
sonation, but he is, nevertheless, quite anus
ing, and, in his pas seal, exceedingly funny.
Miss Lulu Evans and MIR. d. D. Bedell are
singers of much more than ordinary ability,
and they gave a scene from "Trovatore" with
great effect. Mr.. Williams is capital Jig
dancer, and Mr. Clarke took down the house
with his ven riloquism. The piece will be
repeated tonight
Mr.. Henry E. Abbey's losses on the opera
season are placed by report at the enormous
figures of 5000 900.
Mr.. William Terriss, who was with Mr..
Henry Irving as leading mau during the lat
ter's recent visit to America, is reported to
have accepted an engagement with Mr.. Daniel
Frohman for three years from October, 1885,
at $3.50 week and share of the profits.
The Chevalier de Kontski has returned to
Boston after completing most successful
concert tour with Miss Emma Thursby, under
the direction of M. Maurice Strakosch. The
receptions given De Kontski during the 100
concerts thus completed have been uniformly
enthusiastic in all parts of the country, and
his great abilities as a pianist have been as
universally commended as they have always
been during his European tours.
"Cherubs," Mr.. Joseph Bradford's new
comedy, will be produced in New Yerk in
September next, with Messrs. Robson and
Crane as the two brothers, Phidias and Van
dyke. The comedians anticipate great things
of the piece, which has been written with an
especial view to suiting their characteristic
style.

An informal discussion sprang up on the
insecurity of many public places of amuse-
ment In the city, and the necessity of taking
some action looking to the better protection of
those who visit them was strongly urged. It
is expected that the report of the committee on
licenses will refer to this matter and perhaps
suggest the passage of new ordinances

light for all night, and to put up the poles.
The order was then amended SO as to have the
lights commence at the corner of Franklin
