A Perfect Baking Powder.

The great success of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and
of the highest leavening power. All
the scientific knowledge, care and skill
attained by twenty years practical
experience are contributed towards this
end. and no pharmaceutical prepare
ton can be dispensed with agreater ac-
curacy. precision and cxactness. Every
article used is absolutely pure. A num-
Der of chemists are employed TO test
the strength of each ingredient. so that
its exact power and effect in combina-
ton with its co-ingredients, is definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed in the prep
aration of the materials used or the
manufacture of the spowder, who is
not an expert in his particular branch
of the business. AS a consequence, the
Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence. always pure, whole
some and uniform in quality. Each
boxis exactly like every other, and will
retain its powers and produce the same
and the highest 'leavening effect in any
climate. at any time. The Government

The wild man is coming to the front
this fall. A Maine newspaper of repute
says that one ten feet high was recently
killed 100 miles north of Moosehead

three hunters, and the other two got re-
endorsements and slew the giant. who

There also comes from Topeka, Kan. an
account of the capture of Il wild family,
consistingof Il man and woman and two
children. They also had much hair on

Speaking of the statement recently
made that there are thirty-four coffin
factories in the United States. turning
out one hundred and fifty collins daily,
the American Furniture Gazette says
that this must be a mistake, or that
great many collins are imported, Chi
cago uses forty collins day and the
other large cities use as many in pro-
portion. to say nothing of the smaller
ones. If each factory turns out $50 the
statement may be nearer the truth.

WASHINGTON, April l6.-To-day was
the twentyIourth anniversary of the
emancipation of slaves in the Dirtrict of
Columbia, and the event was celebrated
in somewhat unusual manner. The col
ored people disagreed among themselves
as to how the celebration should be con-
Quoted, and as result divided into two
factions, one headed by w. G.. Chace,
editor of a colored newspaper, and the
other by Perry Carson, who was dele
gate to the Republican national conven-
ton. Each party made elaborate arrange
ments for parade and a public meeting
at night, and each endeavored to excel
the display OF the other. The Chace party
completed its programme first and man
aged TO secure tor their parade the serv-
ices of the principal colored military or
CARNATIONS OF the district and three col
ored companies from Baltimore, besides
several civic organizations.
The Carson procession did not include
as many companies but it bad more
bands of music and was particularly
strong in civic organizations. the fore
most of which w0s the Hod-Carriers'
union and the employees of the brick
yards,
Each procession contained several
wagon-loads Of colored women dressed in
white and colored dresses representing
the Goddess Of Liberty, Queen Of May,
etc The Ca son procession also had
mounted on wheels United states yacht
borrowed from the navy for the occasion,
and which was christened w. G. Whit
ney in honor Of the secretary OF the
navy,
Party feeling ran high, and IL was
feared that trouble would ensue in case
the two professions should come to-
gether. Fortunately nothing Of tho kind
occurreds The two professions formed
ia different sections OF the city, and al
though both had selected pretty much
the same line of march, they
moved over it at different times and
without collision. In view OF the lack
of harmony between the two parties the
president positively refused to view either
procession. Both passed In front OF the
White House, but mounted policemen
guarded the gates and prevented their en-
teriDg the grounds. The president,
through his private secretary, had prev.
iously notified the chairmen OF the oppos-
Ing committees that IL would give him
pleasure to accept joint invitation to
review one procession In which
| all could amicably participate,
but he could not take sides in the quarrel
and therefore declined 10 accept either Of
the invitations to review the parade. a
strong effort was made to reconcile the
differences between the two factions aud
have them unite In one demonstration 50
as to procure the honor Of the presldent'i
recognition, but without success.
