Baking Powder Tramps.

The danger to the public health
from the indiscriminate use o. the
many lime and alum baking powders
Of commerce has been 50 fully expos
ed that everybody desires TO avoid
them. AS "forewarned is forearmed," I"
housekeepers will thank us for appris
ing them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose of
powders in this vicinity.
The proprietors of some Of the
worst of these powders are now gong
from house 10 house, trying by means
of a trick: or so called test, with heat
and water. to show that their article
Is as good as the Royal Baking Pow
der, making the comparison with
this brand because everybody recog-
nizes it TO be absolutely pure and
wholesome, the object, of course,
being to supply their own goods in
place OF the Royal, which housekeep.
ers have for SO many years relied IN
to puff up the morning biscuit, and to
make the light, palatable, and whole
some roll, cake, and pastry for which
it is famous.
The honsekeeper will DO we'll to
be on her guard against these baking
powder tramps. Every intelligent
person knows that any goods peddled
from house to house in this manner,
or that are given away in samples, or
sought to be introduced by secretly
traducing the character of other
goods well known to be pure and
reliable, have no merits of their own,
and have failed to find purchasers
through legitimate means.
We are informed, as matter of
fact, that one of these tramps is try
ing to introduce powder that ha>
been found by the Government chem
ist to be II.85 per cent lime, while
the other peddles powder that is 20
per cent alum-one powerful cuaStic
the other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or ju glery will be
apt to deceive any intelligent person.
The housekeeper who has used her
Royal Baking Powder ever since she
discarded cream of tartar and soda,
knows more about its qualities than
all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which
she has put the Royal Baking Powder
the test of actual and successful
work in the preparation of pure and
wholesome food, under which 1t has
never faied---is entirely satisfactory
to her. She has always had "good
luck" with it in making light sweet
and delicious bread, biscuit, and cake
and has placed it, to stay, at the head
of her housekeeping favorites. She
knows that it has been officially ap.
proved by the Government chemist:
as the best, and we imagine that the
baking powder tramp who attempts
to supplant its place in her confidence
will find this bad year for his bust
ness.

rHAr WAS rAErR GAME.

Yesterday evening John Hinsworth, vi no
keeps stand at the east end Of the bridge
on Douglas avenue, came running up town
and informed policeman that two Young
men had stolen five dollar gold piece from
him. His story IS that the two, one OF
whom he knew well, thes having worked
together at the European hotel, came TO his
stand and bought some cigars, handing him
silver dollar in payment. lie put the dol
lar into the till and handed them the change.
As he knew them he did not examine the
dollar. A. they started away one re-
marked t. the other, II knew that dollar WIS
good" This remark caused the man 10 take
the dollar out Of the drawer. and he saw it
was covered with lead foil. tie called them
back, and said tho money was no good
They offered 10 bet him five dollars that it
was good, but he said not. They gave him
another dollar in it, stead, but while they
we're wrsugling one Of them asked TO look II
a s. gold piece that he had exposed. lie WAS
engaged in a wrancle with the other man
i4id VIE tAtltth' 4oi r''ttill- all hb'nt ttlt -
gold piece until they had gone. when, on
looking in the drawer, he discovered it was
gone. The two were found near the Bruins
wick billiard hall, and denied having the
money. They were taken into the room ard
searched by the policeman. +It u" gold
piece was found, 80 they were
allowed to 90. One of the men,
who registered as d. VI. NJ Cheney, Atticl,
is said to be the man who was arrested here
some time ago ard taken 10 kinsman,
where he was charged with having stolen a
watch, but the charge was not proven. The
watch charm WAS found here in a pawn shop
subsequently,. This man is rather fy
looking chap and there seems 20 be little
doubt that the. got away with the money.
They had p!euc time to put 1t sway before
they were sea- he'd. They paid their bill al
the European after they had been at the
stand. The q liar covered with lead Is their
game and by fhal means they expected to
win bets, the ,ney being good probably,
or they won not have said ANYTHING
about t.

II :. TRUTH OF IT

Mr.. I. NJ. Lsae sends Us a well auihenti-
Gated accouu, Of his trouble with the woman
who sued him for dsmage. last FRIDAY,
which, if true. and il appears to be, CON-
pletely exhonorates him, but space will not
allow us to publish it in full, as It Is quite
lengthy and we have a great deal Of extra
matter this morning. The substance of it
all is that the woman, her husband and two
children came to his place the night referred
to. The man staid out talking while the
woman made arrangements for lodging. She
was told fifty cents was the piice. and they
got room with two beds. In the morning
the man stepped toward the door, grip in
hand, while the woman stepped up to pay
the bill. She pu. down fifty cents, when
the clerk asked ifthst was intended ier tho
whole family. She said yes. the proprietor
told her SO. The proprietor said he tod her
fifty cents for one lodging ard told them
they must pay, but agreed 70 let the whole
family eff for $3.50. This they refused 70
pay, and the old woman raised Cain geuer-
ally. Mr.. Lsne grasped tie mans grip. bat
the old woman took i from him. Then be
took the mans hat, whereupon the woman
grabbed his watch chain and pulled his
watch out Of his pocket, and when be tried
to take il from her she bit him on the hand.
and he did rot bite her st all. Several at
the house who saw it all corroborate this
statement.

PROF. BLACK SUNDAY NIGHT

On Sabbath evening the Christian church
was crowded to su;fcstion almost by intelli-
gent people Of this city who had repaired
there TO hear Prof. Blacks discourse on the
'Mellenium, or The thousand years reign Of
pesce and Righteousness" 1t was estimated
that from two to four hundred people went
away because o. their inability 20 even find
standing room. The fine preacher seemed
in his best form, and TIE benevolent emile
which lighted up his earnest and happy face
as he stepped upon the platform was as as
surance of perfect self-poise upon his
part. and in lis reflection bis more than viii
ling audience responded with full surren-
| der Of that which not only inspires public
speaker, but lifts him above himself We
did not start out 10 give synopsis or even
an idea ofwhat the sermon was or what il
was like. From data alone found in the
prophesies and inspired visions of the two
testaments, and by three distinct lines, all
touching this thousand years of peace, he
set out to not only prove that such time
would come. but the year when It would
come, and that neither of the
lines had failed Of fulfllmcnt or
consumnation in the times past
in any minor detail. The speaker showed
by the wonderful array Of prophecies and
visions and interpretations that in y. ID.
1885, this reign of peace would be inaugur-
! atei. Whether every individual Of bis
; crowded congregation fully comprehended
all Of his premises and conclusions, the

After much discoursing of bacteria and veg
etable matter the learned professor winds up
with bill of $50 for his analysis.
Alderman Allen suggested tina; If the peo-

stand it any better than the council it could
do no harm to publish it.
Alderman McAdams explained at length
that the water Of the city system was not
more impure impure than that Of most
cities and not necessarily more unhealthy.

accounted for the animal matter. He did
