A Worthy Descendant of a Piratica
Ancestor.

w A. Kidd who has been boarding in this
city while he prosecuted his search for infor-
nation in regard to the whereabouts of the
gold of his famous ancestor the redoubtable
captain has proven himself good represen-
tative of that naval gentleman. Mr. Kidd
may have become respondent at.his ill sue

have gotten short of funds, at any rate he has
left hisiboarding place and valuable jewelry
the property of Others, has left with him. The

said to his landlady that he should have to
take his clothes to be mended and according
ly sent them from the house so that when he
departed he left behind him nothing but an
unpaid bill for weeks board and consider
able wrath among his fellow boarders
1t seems that on Monday, Kidd came
promptly to the dinner table, thing he has
not been prone to do, and after seeing that
all the boarders were present, arose and
went to his room. His landlady went into
the sitting-room soon after just as Kidd was
leaving the house and asked him if he was
going out to walk He replied in the affirm
ative and departed After dinner it was
found that sundry articles had disappeared,
aiming which were a handsome gold neck
chain and gold watch, worth 500, belonging
to the wife of Officer Newcomb porte

Sudden Death.

Mr. Edward w. Perkins, the confectioner,
died suddenly at his residence on Newbury
street last evening. Mr.. Perkins has not
been very well for about month past but
he was not thought to be seriously i'll. and
went out last evening. Returning at about
half-past nine, he appeared to be feeling
well, and after talking with Mr.. J. C. Ward
who occupies part of the house, retired and
died suddenly about ten minutes after. Dr.
Merrill was called, and pronounced the
death to have been caused by an affection OF
the heart, which has troubled Mr. Perkins
in former years, but from which he was
thought to have entirely recovered.
Mr.. Perkins was IS years of age, and leaves
wife and two sons. He was treasurer of
the United Order of the Golden Cross and a
member of the Union Mutual Relief Associ-
ton of Fitchburg, Mass. Until about fou1
years ago he was in business for himself as
confectioner at Manchester. n H., and
since that time he has been in the employ OF
his brother, Mr. L. j. Perkins, the confec.
toner, in this city. The deceased was a

Officer Mccrath,s Find

Officer McGrath now ON special liquor
duty on Commercial street, few days ago
discovered a neat device for concealing the
ardent. Behind saloon stands a little shed
built as refrigerator. The interior is
sheathed with matched boards, and the Off
Ger in examining the place took hold of a
couple of hooks, and pushing them up found
much to his surprise that the board into
which they were driven slid through the fiat
roof, disclosing in the space between the in
ner and outer boarding shelves holding a
number of bottles of liquor. The interior of
the refrigerator was so arranged that brace
for the ice box hid the crack made by the
joining of the movable board to that below.
No more liquor, however, will be deposited
in the neatly arranged place at present.

A poubIy Good work.

All people who eat are indebted to the Roy
al Baking Powder Company not more for
having perfected and prepared leavening
agent that is pure and wholesome beyond a
question than for its exposures, so boldly
made, of the numerous impure, adulterated
and Injurious articles that are sold under the
name Of baking powders, bread preparations
etc., in this community. In making these
exposures the company has, of course, made
itself the target for all sorts of counter at
tacks, but the animus of these attacks has
been perfectly understood by the general
public, and by their very yirulence have
served to more prominently call attention to
the good work of the Royal" Company
Food frauds of the usual class, such as
wooden nutmegs, chicory coffee and watered
milk, although they are swindles in a com
mercial sense, are often tolerated because
they do not particularly affect the health of
the consumer. But when an article like
baking powder, that is relied upon for the
healthful preparation of almost every meal
is so made as to carry highly injurious, if
not rankly poisonous, elements into our dali
ly food it would seem to be the duty of the
press as well as of the criminal authorities
to take eognizance of it.
In the fight for pure food made by the
Royal Company some time ago, when its
guns were particularly trained against the
alum baking powders, it was noticed that
the most trustworthy scientific authorities
were emphatieally upon its side So, in the
recent contest with the lime and other inn
pure baking powders, the result has proved
that every statement made by the Royal
Baking Powder Company, both as to the
purity of its own and the adulteration of
other baking powders of the market, was
fully authorized by the most competent
chemical and medical authorities of the
country.
In this contest two facts have been pretty
conclusively settled in the minds of the pub
lic-the first, that the Royal Company has
found the means, and uses them, to make
chemically pure article of food, and the other
that the average baking powder, no matter
how strongly endorsed by commercial
chemists, is an exceedingly doubtful prepa-
ration.
Pure baking powders are one of the chief
aids to the cook in preparing perfect and
wholesome food. The recent controversy in
the press has left it no longer a question
with those who desire purity and whole
someness of food what baking powder they
shall use.
