2735 Difference
The Royal" the Strongest and
PureSt Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
"Royal," let the official reports decide. When
the different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof Chandler, of the
New-York Board of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent. greater strength than any other brand
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows:
If one pound Of Royal Baking Powder sells
for so cents,
One pound Of no other powder is worth over
SO cents.
Ifanother baking powder IS forced upon you
by the grocer in place Of the Royal, see that YOU
are charged the CORRESPONDENCE lower price.

THE police are getting at the bottom
of the trick shooting affair. They are
making numerous arrests and it seems
that they once and while get hold of
prisoner worth keeping. Henry
Bauer, the ring leader Of the Anarchists
in Pittsburg and vicinity, is the last one
OF any moment. Bauer is an agitator
of the worst kind and is leading spirit
in the distribution of Anarchistic litera-
ture and sentiment. He was seen with
the assassin Berkman in the Carnegie
Company's works. Berkman is not
50 happy as he was and begins to APP
preciate his chance of doing the pene-
Tertiary act tor about 30 years He
may learn the difference between liberty
and license. difference that it seems is
difficult for good many to discover.

endorsed by the Ioits Zeitung of New
City, which says editorially.

most brutal American despoilers of ia

A COMMITTEE composed of republi-
cans and democrats appointed by the
L. S Senate to investigate the matter
of wages and prices in the United
States has handed in a unanimous re-
port. They have spent six months in
vestigatiBg and have probably left no
considerable industry without having
given it thorough searching into. The
investigation shows that wages average
"a per cent higher than before the pass
age of the Mckinley law, and that the
average price of goods is on an average
from 8 to 1.6 per cent lower than before
the ''robber tariff law was passed. The
statement is also made in the report
that wages in this country are on the
average - per cent higher than in Eng
land. This condition of things may or
may not suit the wage workers of other
countries but it ought to be reasonably
satisfactory to the wage workers of the
United States.

A GYPSY Burial.

An interesting gypsy burial has just
taken place at the Catholic cemetery in
Weisseusee, near Berlin The son of the
gypsy chief was carried to the grave, &C
companied by members of the race from
far and wide. A band of music opened
the procession, followed by gypsies play
ing the fiddle or clashing cymbals. The
splendid metal coffin was carried in 9
first class hearse, on each side of which
the cousins and uncles of the deceased
rode on horseback, their brides and
saddles being covered with Grape. Close
behind the coffin rode the six oldes,
members of the clan, beating tambour
ines while they muttered prayers.
Then came a troop of gypsy men
women and children in carriages, on
horseback or on foot, clad in their pic
turesque costumes. The procession was
closed by the parents of the deceased
accompanied by four mourning WON
en-" who raised fearful bowling. The
sight attracted thousands of spectators
The burial was accomplished with the
usual Catholic rites. but afterward the
gypsies offered up dog as sacrifice
to the moon" in an open field near by

Paying Rent with a Rose.


The ground on which is erected lions
new Lutheran church of Mannheim, Pa,
was donated to the congregation 1870
years ago for the consideration of an
annual payment of one red rose by Baron
Henry William Seigel, who founded
Mannheim, and was the first glass and
iron manufacturer Of any note in the
United States. He demanded the rose
twice, and was paid. The baron died
poor and filed an unknown grave, and
the payment was not legally demanded
until recently, when, by arrangement,
Mr. j. e. Seigel, great-grandson of the
baron, came from Harrisonburg, Va. to
receive it. Services throughout the day
had memorial tinge. The Rev. Mr.
Menges preached an eloquent sermon
from the text, Il am the rose of Sharon. :"
The afternoon was devoted solely to ex-
ercises incident to the payment Of the
rose and interest, the whole town taking
part.-Cor. St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A correspondent suggests method Of
abating the smoke nuisance in close
manufacturing localities by having a
smoke duct running through a town,
connected in a suitable manner with the
different furnaces. In carrying out such
plan it is suggested that the duct might
be conveyed outside of the city to con-
densing station, an exhaust machine
being employed to force the draught
At the condensing station the SCOT laden
air would be made to pass through water
conveniently proximate, in this way de-
posting the solid matter, while the air
passes away comparatively pure; the
