No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is shown by all tests official scientific, and prac-
tica, stronger purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers and well known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This ofitself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the "Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm Oft
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Royal" There is no substitute for the Royal"

A tramp moved towards one Of the

THE CHURCHES.

Interesting Statistics Furnished ny the
Superintendent OF the Census Church
Growth In Forty Years.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Superintend-
ent Robert p Porter, in an address pre-
pared for delivery Mt Asbury park,
makes public the preliminary figures Of
church statistics of the eleventh census,
which are both curious and interesting.
There are shown to be in the United
States nearly $50 separate and distinct
church organizations Of widely differ
ent creeds. They vary greatly in prac-
tice and represent all possible varia-
tions Of church policy.
There are dozen different branches
of the Presbyterian family. There are
some denominations that will answer
only to the simplest, most indefinite
title-for example the Brethren. There
are various churches that claim to be
simply Brethren. Four Of these are
branches of what are popularity
called plymouth Brethren" But they
do not own the title plymouth, +"
nor is there any distinction which
they have adopted by which these four
bodies Of Plymouth Brethren may be
distinguished from others. There are
two Reformed churches, known as the
Reformed Church in America and Re-
formed Church in the United States.
Some of the denominations were never
numbered before and it required the
utmost powers Of persuasion to induce
them to submit to the process.

The value of church property for
same period is as follows:


In point of number the Methodists
stood first in 1850 and still retain the
position, nearly one-third OF the church
edifices belonging to the Methodist
church, while the Baptist can lay claim
to more than one-quarter. Relatively
speaking, the Episcopal church retains
about the same position to the other
denominations Us it did in 1850. On
the other hand. the Roman Catholic
church has advanced considerably
from a trife over per cent. Of
the total number to over 6 per
cent In point of value, however,
the Catholic church has made still great
err strides, from an ownership of 10X
per cent of all the church property to
an ownership of 1871 per cent In this
respect the Catholic church now ranks
second in Importance, being exceeded
only by the Methodist. which repre-
sents trifle over 9OH per cent. Of the
total value. In 1850 the value of church
property of four denominations-Meth-

They Give ~Freeholders Some Worry
County Finances.
The last meeting of the Board of Free
holders for the present ical year took
place yesterday afternoon. The next
meeting will be in December when the
new fiscal year begins.
A resolution was adopted transferring
all of the u~nexpended balances in items
of account 8, 4. S, 6. Z, IS. 10, II, IS. IA, and
SIS from % and IS. 81, %, 20, "a, 3S and 40

a resolution transferring So, 4S3.5 SO from
The incidental Account to that OF Courts;
S242.2 % to that of Court House and Jail.
and $500 to the Account of Salaries.
A resolution was adopted directing the
Finance Committee To aud the accounts
and books of the County Collector for
1891 and 1892.
Two weeks ago the Board increased the
fee to morgue keepers for opening graves
at Potter's Field from So TO $6. Yester.
day Freebooter Kimmerly asked the
Board TO rescind this action.
Freebooter Nelson feared that to do so
would induce undertaSers to enter into
collision with some morgue keepers and
have them bury the dead for 50 and
divide the profits. Morgue keepers are
paid by the county under an act
of the Legislature,l $40 for each
nj reclaimed dead person buried by them.
Out OF this sum the morgue keepers must
now pay the Board of Freeholders for
opening a grave Sc, which the morgue
keepers profess leaves them no profit, for
they keep the corpse OF ice for three days
and when it is buried, the services OF a
horse and wagon and two men are re-
quired.
Director -Bruggemann said that Poor
masters in the cities receive from $40 10
$50 for burying unclaimed dead and that
they could conspire with morgue keepers
and rave it lone for SO if the resolution
should be r~escinded.
Freebooter Noonan suggested that
morgue Keepers should pay S. a grave
and present to the Freeholders a bill for a
rebate of "a. This, he thought, would
prevent fraud because an iteinized ac-
count would be presented to the Board.
Director Bruggemann suggested that
The opinion of counsel be had on the sub
ject, and all the Freeholdeis agreed that
it woutd be well, and Freebooter KIM
merly withdrew the resolution.

ecutive ability, his power of organi-
cation, his talents for command, his
faculty for managing men, and above
all, for his consummate attention to
details. 1t is plain he is in full possess

The reform County Committee will
shortly meet to reappoint the Justice

position which he has adorned nov
for several years, attracting the adj
miring glances, not only of the county
and the State but, more or less, of the
whole country, to his highly success
full leadership.
1t is understood that Justice Davis
will make another of his pithy reform
speeches to the County Committee
at the opening meeting-just like the
one last month, about the Assembly
nominations. Jailer Davis will put
his foot down upon the dual office
holding business. He will tolerate
no more of it. Those who follow his
standard will have to stay content
with one salary, or be read out of the
party.
The entire county is looking forward
to the event in an attitude of expec-
tant admiration.

give 10 OLher DlQderSNln The absence
of this deposit, the Commissioners
were not only justified in rejecting
the bid, but compelled by law to do
SO. To dispose of Mr.. Inman for the
present, it may be added that, in the
Judgment of most persons, he pro-
poses a financial impossibility. 1t is
to be presumed that any bidder
wants to make money out of the con-
tract. When a bid is presented
that seems to involve, beyond perad-
venture, thsfoss OF a couple of millions
AIof dollars to the bidder, the public
nficials are surely justified in looking
Akance at it. When, further, it lacks
comparatively small evidence of
I'D faith and substantially, de-
handed in the call for bids, why, it is
a pretty wild sort of affair, and it
is a trife too bad that it should be
taken up for obstructive purposes by
newspapers and by citizens. who
should be on the side of the quickest
and best supply that can be secured
for the city.
The case of the East Jersey Water
Company is altogether different. This
company refused to bid because the
specifications exact an independent
supply for Jersey City. 1t wanted to
sell us the leavings of the Pequan-
nock,-just so much as Newark could
not use. Now, when Mr.. Lebbeus B.
Ward, whose devotion to The public
interests in the matter of New Jerseys
water supply and distribution, has
won him the highest confidence
al the people, was DESTROYS of get
Through the Legislature a bill
wouldsnable Jersey City to
sdemn the Surplus waters of the
@equannock for its own use, the stock
argument in opposition of the City Of
Newark and the East Jersey Water
Company was, that in a few years
there would be no surplus at all, that
the growth of Newark would drink
up the whole Pequannock.l Either
the subject was misrepresented to the
;gislature at that time, or else the
" relief the company can now pro-
Sc 10 offer this city is a temporary
lie, a hand to mouth expedient, just
bod for a few years.
o. such nature are the various
rces opposing the n honest, re-
Apnsible, practical proposal that was
nade to the Street and Water Board.
1t is well for the public to weigh up
their merits carefully before laying
any stress on the arguments of their
purchased advocates.
