IneStimable
AS a Leavening Agent.

The Royal Baking Powder possesses
a peculiar quality, not possessed by
any other lcavcning agent. II 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 j, 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 o.
other adulterants.
The hot roll and

noticed an excessive pallor about his face
and fastened to get him glass of brandy.
Lunlng sunk into a chair, and although
the stimulants were administered to him.
he did not recover consciousness. DR..
Stephens was sent for, but when he arrived
the capitalist was past aid, and shortly after
he quietly passed away.
MI. Luning came to America originally
from Havana and after spending a few
years in New York, he finally drifted west
ward with the gold-seekers, arriving in
California in 1850. His capital at that time
was estimated at $55 900, but the opportuni-
ties to invest it to good advantage were
plentiful, and within short time he de-
veloped into one of the wealthiest men in
town.
He has for years past been prominently
connected with leading financial instiiu-
tons OF the city, among which were the
Bank of California, of which he was Di.
rector, and the Oregon Improvement
Company. The bulk of bis vast wealth.
estimated at from $40 600, 600 to Sic. 900 900
IN realty, is scattered all over the town and
in country lands and mortgages.
Mr.. Luning has been a widower for
some years. He leaves, however. a family
OF two sons and three daughters. The
sons are at present in the East, where they
have resided for some time. One of his
daughters married a son of the late Mr..
Whittel, prominent local capitalist, and
the others are also married to wealthy resi-
dents.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The evidences are, from present observa-
ton, that the Republican State Conven-
ton now in session in this city, is the
most independent of any that have assem-
bled in this State for twenty years or
more. Despite all the chatter of host of
correspondents, whose chief aim appears to
be to pad out and fill space in the columns
of metropolitan contemporaries, and who,
to that end, send to print no end of silly
stuff and absurd speculation, the fact is
apparent that there are no delegations to
the Convention boss-ridden or led around
by the nose. The spirit of independence
and free contention is manifest in the hot
contest of rival candidates, and the re-
markable spirit with which the delegates
among themselves do battle for them. In
a controlled Convention, with delegations
held in the leash, there are evidences of
repression, or of domination, of COW, that
are unmistakable, and that cannot be hid
den. In many years experience in study
ing the behavior of men acting in the
capacities the delegates to the Convention
fill, we do not recall an instance where
there was such perfect freedom and indie
pendence of control or of the domination
of ruling spirits. All which argues we'll
for the Republican party, and will tell
with the people who are to judge it. For
this party legislative body is thoroughly
representative, Intellectually strong, and
strikingly commends itself by the gentle
manly and manly appearance and carriage
of its membership. We think it is simply
putting it without color to say that the
Convention is highly intelligent, thor
oughly practical, a business-like and emil
nently representative assemblage, one that
does honor to the party and is credit to
the citizenship of the State. No body so
large as this Convention, and representing
politics, could well be without a showing
in its composition of the trading and pro-
fessional politicians, the sergeants, corpor-
ais and privates of corner and ward poll
tics. OF these it has its share, as well as
sprinkling of men who assumescaptain-
cies and a species of leadership. But
taken as whole, it is not a led nor a
driven Convention, judged by the mass of
sturdy, head-up, manly, busting, intelli-
gent and independent men who are dele
gates in it. We may mistake the charac-
ter of the body, since human judgment is
fallible, but if it errs in this case it will be
in the face of decades of practiced observ-
alton and trained criticism of the bearing,
the speech, and the faces of men.

THE guards at San Quentin should
be drilled daily in sharp-shooting. We
suggest that dummies of men be set
up and that the guards be required to
practice daily upon the men of straw and
acquire sufficient skill, if possible, to hit a
space as large as the human figure at short
range. 1t appears that when the three
escaped convicts broke from custody on
Monday. two Gatling guns and nine rifles,
all in the hands of guards of the prison,
played upon the escapes for some time, but
not bullet hit the mark, while the con-
victs killed a guards horse and shot an
other guard through the hand. This sort
of shooting by State guards is shameful.
The Calling gun is supposed to scatter suf-
ficiently to hit barn door at a hundred
yards, when it is swinging like pendulum
through hundred feet of space. But in
the hands of the San Quentin guards, two
Calling guns appear to have been less eff
fective than would boys pop gun.

no parallel among clericals. He YVES the
one Catholic of all the world who had
the fullest measure of the profound respect,
the affection and the reverence of
the English Protestant. He was man of
remarkable genius and of brilliant
scholarly attainments, but he was the
most modest, unsel6sh and retiring of
men. He never sought honor or place,
they sought him; he was no politician,
and as churchman he had not even the
ordinary need of policy in his compost
ton. He loved truth with passionate
ardor, and regarded it among the virtues
as the very seat and front of godliness.
The Roman Catholic Church in all its
eventful history never drew from Protest
ant ranks SO able man, SO sincere priest,
so brilliant theologist, so inoffensive
life or so virtuous an example as in the
winning of John Henry Newman.

THE opposition press has diligently cir
culated the story that President Harrison's
Cottage by the Sea" was presented to
him, and that he accepted it from group
of contributors to fund for that purpose.
William V. Mexican of the Public Ledger,
Philadelphia, has written letter to the
press, saying that the exact facts are these:
A fund to buy the cottage was raised and
presented to General Harrison. There
upon he returned the same, declining to
receive the cottage as gift or otherwise
than by purchase with his own means.
His family desiring the place, he then
purchased it, paying $4,000 for it and
$4,000 for the furniture. The Philadel-
phia Record, Democratic paper, there
upon has the fairness to say: "a letter
from such source, written in such ex-
plicit terms, should suffice to make an end
of the matter"

The news is at hand that portion of
the specifications and plans for the new
Government building to be erected IN this
city are now in the hands of the Postmas-
ter, and that bids for the construction of
the basement are to be received until Sep
TENDER 10th. 1t is reasonable to conclude
that it is the intention of the Washington
authorities to have the foundations for the
building laid this fall. That would be
wisdom, as it is easier to lay foundations
here at the low stages of water in the river.
Greater depth is then attainable and the
walls that subsequently rise upon founda-
tions that have wet season in which to
settle and season are more secure.
