IneStirnable
AS a Leavening Agent.

The Royal Baking Powder possesses
a peculiar quality, not possessed by
any other lcavening agent. 1t provides
bread, biscuit, cake, mullins, dumplings
or rolls, which may be eaten when hot,
without inconvenience, by persons of
the most delicate digestive organs.
With most persons it is necessary that
bread raised with yeast should lose its
freshness or become stale before it can
be eaten with safety. Distressing re-
suits likewise follow from eating bis
cult, cake, pastry, etc., raised by the
cheap, inferior baking powders that
contain lime, alum, phosphates or
other adulterants.
The hot roll and
muffin and the deli
cious hot griddle
cakes raised by the
Royal Baking Pow
der are as whole
some and digestible
as warm soup, meat
or any other food.
his is qualification peculiar to the
Royal Baking Powder which makes it
inestimable as leavening agent.

Eight.Hour League.

EDITORS HERALD: The regular meet
ing of the above League was held al
their headquarters, on Second street,
last evening, when many new names
were added to the long list of enrolled
members, thereby showing that the aims
and objects OF the organization are being
taken hold of by the labor element in a
manner far beyond the most sanguine
expectations of its founders.
A communication was read from the
Journeymen Tailors' Union endorsing
the objects of the League.
Reports were read regarding the pro-
gress of the movement throughout the
country. To attempt to outline
them in this report would entail
too much space. 1t might be said
OF the movement generally that it is all
along the line and is come to stay until
the arrival of the day when eight hours
as full days work is enjoyed by all.
A communication was read from Sam
uel F. Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, showing the
enormous number bf 1852 Eight Hour
Leagues in active operation at the pres
ent time. and a great many more in
course of formation.
Arrangements for the great roll.up on
July 4th was advanced, and the league
adjourned. E. 9. BARKER, Secretary.

Another ttMOuse-ColOred.,,


Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, who wishes
it to be understood that she lis Cali
fornian, and don't care continental
whoop in sheol whether school keeps or
not" in one of her recent letters from
New York to the ArgonGut. referred to
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox as that "little
mouse-colored womanl When the
sweet singer" picked up the Argona,Gt
and read the paragraph in question, she
waxed exceeding wroth, and forth
with wrote a letter to Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton, in which she strongly inti-
mated that that woman was troubled
with moral obliquity, and wound up
with the following: "Had l revealed
myself as freely in full dress. when you
called, as you revealed yourself when l
called, your meager charms of body
might have been ab,shed before my
more generous ones, and my 'mouse-
colored tints, as you must know, could
become lovely golden by calling in the
aid of the hair bleacher." In reply
Mrs. Gertrude Atherton declared that
she was an Ishmaelite, that she
her, and that if she was hard-up fer an
item TO season her letters with, she would
"write up" her grandmother as witch.
More than this, she didn't want any more
OF the 'sweet singers" back talk. II
was supposed at one time that the trouble
between these two literary giantesses
could only be settled by resort to pistols
and coffee, but now that Mrs. Gertrude
Atherton has gone to Europe, the chances
are strong that no blood will be shed.

EDITORS HERALD-Will you do me the
favor to publish in your excellent paper
the following? By doing so you will add
another favor to the many already con-
feIrsd upon me.
els Scott the Man ?" Such is the title
of an article in the Evening Express of
Yesterday. In it the editor, amongst
other things, says: "From the first it
was thought that the perpetrator of the
deed was Scott himself, but he has re-
peatedly denied it, and in his confession
TO the priesty declared that the deed was
performed by some unknown person."
Are the editors of the Express so igno-
rant of the teachings and practices of the
Catholic Church regarding the seal or
secrecy of confession? Or was it their
malice that made them say that he
| (Scott) in his confession to the priest,
declared that the act was performed by
some unknown person? | do not
know which to believe; yet it
is very strange that a man who
assumes the responsibility of editing a
paper should not be better posted, and
more careful when speaking about such
delicate matters. The editor of the E,r-
press's version Of the case is not, nor
could it be true. Moreover, the evening
Express should know that by such an i'm
putation they hurt the feelings of every
Catholic citizen. If the Express don't
know all this, he will know it now; at
the same time, will have an opportunity
OF showing his good faith in the matter
by apologizing tomorrow for the great
mistake he made yesterday.

tended Mr.. Scott,
