NEW BRUNswIcK. N. j., Sept. g.
Mahlon Runyan, president of the nation.
al hank, cut his throat in the water
closet of the bank. He was implicated
in the thieVery of cashier Hill. The ex-
citement over the double suicide of the
president and cashier of the National
Bank of New Jersey has become in
tense. The statement furnish
ed by these officials in June
of the current year showed a
paid up capital OF 1926, 900; surplus,
1925 ,O00; undivided profits, $78, 100.
There has been nothing IN the public
history of the bank since that date to
cause any uneasiness to the stockhold-
ers. The suicide of President Runyon,
while strengthening the testimony of
giant frauds IN the management, causes
unbounded astonIshment.
President Runyan, who committed
suicide, this morning, was farmer sixty
years DID, He leaves wife and four
children. He has been president of the
bank for five years. He was not regard
ed as much of a fnancier, the late cash
Ter, Hill, being considered as running
the institution pretty much his own way.
Not much can be CLEANED concerning
the dead president. He appears to have
been known to few operators in Wall

No Lime in Royal Baking Powder.

The Royal Baking Powder is made from Cream
of Tartar specially refined and prepared for it's
by patent processes by which the Tartarus Of
Lime is totally eliminated.
This highly important result has been attained
only with great care labor and expense In money
alone quarter of a million dollars has been in
vested in patents, machinery and appliances by
which the crude Cream of Tartar, being procured
direct from the wine districts of Europe and SUBJ
ljected in this country to these exclusive process
les is rendered entirely free, not only from the OBJ
ljectionable Tartrate Of Lime, but from other for
Ieign substances.
This adds greatly to the cost Of manufacturing
Royal Baking Powder; but, as all it's other ingre-
dents are selected and prepared with the same
precise care, and regardless of labor or expense
an article is produced that is entirely free from
any extraneous substance, and chemically pure
in all respects.
! No lime. earth, alum, impurity Of any kind
can, by nadvertence or by the use of adulterated
articles or otherwise, be introduced into the "Roy
AL, and it contains no ingredients except those
certified by the most eminent chemists necessary
to make a pure, wholesome and perfect Baking
Powder.
! It is matter of the greatest Importance to the
public health at this time that only pure and
wholesome food should be eaten. Lime, earth,
alum or extraneous substances Of any kind, rob
the food of portion Of its nutritious qualities and
deprive our bodies of the full sustenance necessa-
lry to produce that health and vigor required to
protect us from disease. An absolutely pure Bak-
ing Powder therefore, as the Royal is certified by
Iall chemists to be, is a great public boon.

THE MALNE ELEorLON.

Before the election in Vermont. the
Democrats not only conceded the state
TO the Republicans, but affected to be
lieve they would have majority Of not
less than Is 200, and would be happily
disappointed If 1t fell below that figure.
That was e larger majority than the
most sanguins Republicans calculated
upon. They would be quite satisfied
with 10000, but hoped TO make it more.
as they did. This concession Of large
Republican majority was made by the
Democrats so that in the event 1t fell be-
low their estimate they might claim that
there was Democratic gain.
The same tactics were resorted to In
the case Of the election in Maine. The
Democratic press busted itself
in circulating the report that
Senator Hamlin claimed a
Republican majority of $4,000 in that
state, a lie which he took pains to con.
tradict, adding that If the Republicans
carried the day by 10000 majority he
would be abundantly satisfied. The re-
turns at hand indicate that the state has
done much better, advices from all the
precincts heard from, showing Republic
an gains. The legislature Is over
whelmingly Republican. all of the
four Congressman. including Reed, up
on whom the Democrats made a bitter
fight, are elected, and the opposition has
been routed at every point.
In the language of q Democratic ex-
change, the election was looked upon as
an important one. So much had been said
about Republican disaffection in the
state, that the Democracy began to cher.
ish the fond hope of materially reducing
the Republican majority below the
standard offormer years, thus proving
the force of the alleged reaction against
Blaine where they claimed he
should show his greatest strength.
The result is timely and forcible
Endorsement OF Mr.. Blaine, and shows
TO what an extent the influence of the
Independent movement in New England
has been exaggerated. 1t will give &
tremendous impetus to the Republican
cause In Ohio and West Virginia and we
may expect to hear similar tidlngs from
those states in October.
