Quickly.

For twenty-five years the Royal Baking Powder
Company has refused be controlled by the mania Of
ats compettors-to produce cheap baking powder at
the sacrifice Of quality wholesomeness
Some lower-cost brands are now being pushed on
the market which, from being made Of inferior materials

Royal Baking Powder will not deteriorate 1t will
tain its strength until used No other baking powder

will. Government Chemist Mott states that the Royal
is superior other brands because of the perfectly pure
tartar used in and because of the method of its
preparation and the proper proportion of its ingredients
1t is always the that the consumer suffers in
pocket if not in health by accepting any substitute for
the Royal Baking Powder, especially when the substi-
tute is offered on the ground that it is cheaper
The Royal Baking Powder is the embodiment of all

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
ADELIGHTFUL MAY PARTY AT THE
BELLEVUE TERRACE.
Dancing Parties and May-Day Picnics.
The Entertainment at the University.
Society Notes and Personals.

One of the most charming and delight
full parties OF the season took place last
evening at the Bellevue Terrace. ]. Fred
Blake and d. H. Burks, the committee
in charge, were untiring in their efforts
to make the affair success. The Ter
race never presented brighter or gayer
appearance than it did last night. The
dancing hall and reception rooms were
plainly but artistically decorated for the
occasion.
There was a bevy of pretty young
ladies present and many were attired in
exquisite gowns, thoroughly in keeping
with May-day party. Judging by the
young ladies last evening, it would ap-
pear that Los Angeles is abundantly
well supplied with fascinating and
pretty society buds this year. The pat
ronesses at the party last evening were
Mrs. L. J. Rose, Mrs. Modini- Wood,
Mrs. Kirkover and Mrs. Frank b. Ross.
At midnight an elegant repast was
served in the dining room, when souve-
mir favors were presented to both the
ladies and gentlemen. Among those

An Iron JaWed Girl.

An English girl, whose profession was
that Of raising heavy weights by hel

her employer, whose defense was that
she was incompetent TO perform her

sci and solicitors; she would probably
have had one Of them by the nape of the

that an inanimate object would DC equal

which the young lady lifted with her

long; then she let it fall to the ground
with a thud, to prove that it was no

Curtosities OF Chess.

Who really invented the game OF chess
history does not definitely prove, but IT
is known that a Chinese Mandarin lOOO
wears ago was able to soothe his troops,
when they were clamorous for home, by
proposing the game for their leisure hours
when in wintc. quarters.
The game differs IN the various
countries OF the world. Thus, in the
Hindoo game, four distinct armies are
employed, each with their king, each
corps counting among its fighters an

all day with addresses and floral offer
offerings from all parts of Germany.
Early in the morning the reyeille was
sounded under the Window OF the
princes apartment by the RatZeburg
Jaegers. Every train brought large
numbers of strangers. Among the Wis
itorS were the Duke of HEST and other
persons of title, Hamburg guilds
and number of Munich artists. Prince
Bismarck received many kilograms and
gifts from admirers abroad. During the
day the prince appeared in public three
times, and on each occasion was re-
ceived with fervent cheers and hand
Shakings. Tonight torchlight pro-
ceSSiOn was held in which 5000 persons
took part Seven thousand persons to-
day rambled through the hoar-frosted
Sachsenwald. The prince received 5000
cOngratulatory dispatches, including
kilograms from Emperor William,
Prince Henry, Count Won Valdez
see and Count Won Moltke. Prince
Bismarck met the torchlight pro-
ceSsion at the castle gate. Herr
Woermann. in speech, said that
they had come, not as representatives
of IA political party, but as citizens, TO
give the prince proof Of their gratitude
for his services to the Fatherland.
Prince Bismarck, who was deeply
moved, said that he felt as if he was re-
ceiving good school certificate; that
when he was minister he had not al
ways received such recognition, and
that he would leave the memory of the
demonstration to his children as a pre-

A FOsTERED INDUSTRY.

There is one industry that is being
greatly enlarged under the fostering af
forded by the new tarilf-that is the
plate glass manufacture. The MCKIN-
LEY tariff enlarged the already eXorbi-
tant duties ON plate glass. and they are
now from 100 to $50 per cent With
such harvest presented to the capital
lists, it would be surprising if ii were not
improved. A trade paper familiar with
the situation reports a rush TO reap the
Spoils. Immense plants are being es-
tabliShed, at least 800 skilled wOrkmen
are wanted to operate them. and they
are not to be had in this country. They
are only to be obtained by i'm
porting them from the similar
works i'll France and other parts of
Europe. The labor contract law stands
iii the way, and appeals are being made
to the treasury department to suspend
the law i'll their favor # is assumed
that the government is operated TO lu-
bricate and foster such schemes, and
