The Sham and the Real.

Every good thing has its host of imi-
tators every genuine article is counter
feits. Bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but he who shams the
bad never boasts of it, while they who
ape the virtues of the good or simulate
the genuine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluring tones. When these people
initiate they always choose pronounced
type or popular subject to copy from ::
and when they claim to be as good as
"So-andSo." or to sell an article equal to
"SO-andSO," the public may depend up
on it that Mr.. $50. and-So'' and his ar
tiCle are always the best of the kind.
Thus the sham is always proving the
genuine merit of the thing it copies.
A firm of entcrprising gentlemen pro-
duCe and pOpularize an article of house
hold use, such as the Royal Baking Pow
der, whose convenience, usefulness, and
real merit make for itself an immense
and universal sale. 4 hundred imita-
tors arise on every hand, and as they
hold out their sham articles to the pub
lie. yelp in chorus, Buy this it's Just
as good as Royal, and mach cheaper ~
The Royal Baking Powder is the stand
ard the world over, and its imitatOrs in
their cry that theirs Is las good as
Royal" are all the time emphasizing this
fact. In their laboriOus attemps to show
by analysis and otherwise that the
"SnOwbalI' brand has as much rails
ing power "as the Royal; or that
the Resurrection" powder is as whole
some "as Royal" or that the Earth
quake" BRAID is las pure as the Royal"
as well as by their COntOrtive twistings
of chemical certificates and labOred eff
forts to obtain recognition from the Gov
eminent chemists and prominent scien-
fists who have certified the superiority
of Royal over all others, they all admit
the Royal to be the acme of pertec-
ton, which it is their highest ambition
to initiate. But the difference between
the real and these limitations, which
copy only its general appearance, is as
wide as that between between the paste
and the true diamond. The shams all
pay homage to the ''Royal."

Take Down the Screen.

One of President Cleveland's aphor-

The glass doors that Mr.. Cleveland

see their hats. but what they are doing
you can not see.
The President may think he is work

most people who have followed the dis

The ex- captions are the Eighth and Ninth avenue lines. As soon as the resolution was passed orders to the various lines. The Eighth and Ninth avenue lines union ines
 The State board of railroad commissioners remained in session until o'clock this even ing, when they adjourned and it was stated that they would probably not render de- cision in the dispute between the Third ave- nue surface railroad company and the men until tomorrow. During the afternoon sev- sral witnesses were examined for both sides. About an hour before the close of the ses- sion an offer was made by counsel for the strikers to submit the propositions of both thescompany and the strikers to. arbitration. This was declined by counsel for the company unless certain points as to the employment and discharge of employees be agreed to in an advance of the arbitration. The executive board of the Empire association would not agree to this and the matter will now have to be settled by the board of railroad commissioners.
 At o'clock this afternoon President Ly- ons ot the Third avenue road decided to run as many cars as possible from the depot at Sixty fifth street. A large force of police
 was sent from the central office to protect the cars on their way down town. The first car had scarcely proceeded two blocks from the depot when it was surrounded by crowd of men aLd women. Near Sixtieth street two men ran from the sidewalk and attempted to cut the traces. The police in charge of the car knocked the men down
 with their clubs and another section dis
 persed the crowd on the sidewalk. When the second car came from the de- pot it was also attacked by crowd of two hundred men. After a | lively skirmish the police succeeded in driv- l ing the rioters off. Near Fifty-seventh 1 street the car was again attacked with 1 bricks and stones. Captain Steers, who was l in charge ordered the police to drive the | crowd away. Again the clubs were vigor
 ously used The crowd fled, leaving the police masters of the position and the cars 1 proceeded on their way down town without 1 further trouble. Between twenty and thlr- | ty rioters were badly clubbed about the l head and two police were seriously injured | by bricks and stones. Seven of the rioters were arrested and locked up.
