WASHINGTON, d. c., June 14.-Acting
Secretary Fairchild has written to the
collector OF customs at Baltimore, in
regard to the recent department circu-
lar fixing the hours of business in Gus
tom-houses. He approves the collect
or's suggestion that one-half OF the
force be required to remain on duty
during the half hour recess at noon.
He also says that the limit OF
official hours prescribed by the
circular viz: 8 A. NJ. to 4 P. NJ,
with a recess OF hall an hour at noon
does not mean that the custom-house
shall be kept open to the public during
the period from 3 p. NJ. to 4 P. NJ. un-
less the collector considers such course
necessary. The collector is given full
authority to close the doors at 8
O'Clock, but the officers, clerks and
employees Of the custom-house are ex-
pected to remain at their desks during
the hours specified IL the circular.

TO TEST THE EsTY,

Ehe Chicago a Eorth- Western Sued for
Refusing to Carry Beer Into Iowa.
4 suit, intended as test OF the con-
stitutionality OF the Iowa Prohibition
law, was begun in Chicago on the 18th
in the Federal circuit court and will
doubtless be carried to the supreme
court OF the United States. The action
is brought by Bowman Bros, beer
venders of Marshalltown, Ia, for
$4,000 damages against the Chicago
& North Western Railroad, on account
OF a refusal to transport for them 81
600 barrels of beer from Chicago to
Marshalltown. To carry the beer into
Iowa would have been a penal offense
under the state law. Bowman Bros.
assert the Iowa statute is invalid and
that the railroad is, therefore, respon-
sible for refusing to act as q common

DR.. Won Schleiss, who was formerly
King Ludwig's physician, denies that
the King was insane. He maintains
that Ludwig was eccentric only. The
doctor adds that although he disagreed
with the official report OF the examin-

Praying in a Hurricane.

lFFDLl the hduSds tlIy JOuIudi-
| heard a very amusing story the
other day in connection with the re-
cent hurricane. A gentleman quite
well known in this city was hurrying
along to reach his home, when the
storm burst upon the city in all its
fury. He sought refuge in house
where there were a number of ladies
congregated, all Of whom were frantic
with terror. After a little the storm
increased in fury, the house rocked
and sWayed before the furious winds,
several windows were blown in, and it
looked as though the whole building
would be destroyed. The women
rushed around wringing their hands,
crying and bemoaning their fate, when
suddenly one rushed up to the gentle
man and frantically besOught him to
offer up q prayer. In moment he
was surrounded by the other women,
who clung to him and begged him to
pray. He was not by any means COL
lected himself, and besides was not up
at all in prayers, but there was no es-
cape for him, so he prepared to comply
with the request. He knelt down, but
owing to the excited condition Of his
mind and to the fact that he had not
prayed for a long time, he found him
self utterly unequal to the occasion.
He couldn't think OF anything. He
was dumb. Soon ne became desper-
ate, and without q thought as to its
appropriateness he pronounced the fol-
lowing brief exhortation, which he re-
membered to nave formed a part OF
the grace his father used to say many
years ago: "Oh Lord, make US thank
ful for that which we are about 20 re-
ceive." Just then three or four win
dows blew in, a couple OF chimneys
blew over, and the prayer meeting
broke M in confusion.

He Had Ii,

Among the passengers on the st.
Louis express yesterday was awoman
very much over-dressed, accompanied
by bright-looking nurse-girl, and a
selfwilled, tyrannical boy, OF about
three years.
The boy aroused the Indignation OF
the passengers by his continued
shrieks and kicks and screams, and
his viciousness toward the patient
nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched
her hands, and finally spat in her face
without word OF remonstrance from
the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
tirmness, the mother would chide her
sharply, and say:
"Let him have it, Mary. Let him
alone"
Finally the mother composed her.

boy had slapped the nurse for the

| and flew on the window OF the nurses
seat. The boy at once tried to catch
it.
The nurse caught his hand and said,
coaxingly:
Harry mustn't tonch! Bug bite
Harry"
Harry screamed savagely, and be-
gan to kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her
eyes or lifting her head, cried out
sharply
"Why will you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once"
"But, ma am, it's a.
''Let him have it, | say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp, and caught it. The yell that
followed brought tears Of Joy to the
passengers.
The mother awoke again.

it !" Mary turned in her seat, and said
confusedly-

yesterday and applied to the cyclor-

The coroner OF New York was
notified on the night OF the
10th of a singular and sudden
death at 1893 Green Street.
The case had many OF the symptoms
of Asiatic cholera. Last Thursday

stomach. DR.. S. Frederick was sum-
moned. The woman was found lying
on the floor in her room, dead. Her
mouth was covered with a black dis
charge. DR.. Frederick said he believed
she died of malignant cholera morbus,
though the suddenness of the attack
and death, together with the black
vomit, made it look like a case OF
genuine cholera. The coroner will in
vestigate.

at last commences with animation and
amid childish laughter all the variously-
colored legs are set in motion.
These are some of the features of life
at the seashore resorts. Nearly every foot
of desirable, sandy beach along the whole
coast is so utilized that there is scarcely a
spot for those who love the sea for itself
alone to go and enjoy it without accom-
panying features. Hence, 'the seashore,"
as we speak of it, at this season is not the
place to go to 'hold communion with ma
ture," if that is what one desires. 1t was
Eliza Cook who wrote:
"My earliest step would wander from the green and
fertile land,
Down where the clear blue ocean rolled, to pace
the rugged strand;
Oh! how l loved the waters, and even longed
to be
bird, a boat, or any thing that dwelt upon the
sea-"
But it is a question whether the fair
and sentimental Eliza had ever taken in
modern seashore summer resort. Any
one who has never visited the popular
beaches near our large cities during the
heated term would be amazed on hot
Sunday in July or August to see the crowd
ing mass of humanity that pack to their
utmost capacity all the lines of steam
boats running from New Nork to Coney

BREAD WITHOUT YEAST.

1t is well-known fact that bread made
with yeast, if eaten before it becomes
stale, ferments again in the stomach, pro-
ducing indigestion and numerous other
complaints. Bread raised with Royal Bak-
ing Powder, instead of yeast, is entirely
without this defect, but, on the contrary,
is one of the most effectual preventatives
of indigestion or dyspepsia. By the use
of the Royal Baking powder, the saccha-
rine properties of the flour, which are
destroyed by fermentation with yeast, are
preserved, and the bread is made more
nutritious. Ten per cent. more bread is
baked-because of this saving-from the
same quantity of flour.
The Royal Baking Powder will also make
sweet white bread from an inferior quail
ity of flour, property possessed by no
other leavening agent. Thus, much flour
that is dark in color, or from other cause,
is considered below the finer grades, and
therefore much cheaper, can be utilized
and turned into perfectly sweet and
wholesome bread. Nor can bitter bread
ever result from the use of too much, or
more than the required quantity, of Royal
Baking Powder; as, whether used in small
or large quantities, its proportions are in
such exact equivalents that they always
neutralize each other. Bread made in this
way does not require mixing over night,
but may be prepared ready for the oven
in few minutes; an advantage that will
be readily appreciated by every house
keeper.
