Do You Wish

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet,

der makes the lghtest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure

Lord Rooney"


A fair sized audience greeted the
Rooneys at the opera house last night.
Lord Rooney" is a farce comedy,
sparkling with quaint wit. 1t was
brought out in good style, but the alb
sence of the father of the Rooneys, who
has gone to join the great majority, was
noticeable. He was unique IN his line
and 'Lord Rooney" without him is open
to much criticism.
THE Danger Signal"
''The Danger Signal play written
to display realistic railroad effects, and
to give Miss Rosabel Morrison an OPP
portunity to star in an attractive role,
was produced at the Gillis last night to
large audience. The play has fine
local coloring of the far west, and a
consistent railroad atmosphere. 1t has
also good story, that can be followed
with interest, through its several acts

LARGEST IN THE STATE.

An Immense Iron Stack Erected at the
Randolph * Cloves Works.
M. J. DAILY raised for the Randolph &
Cloves company to-day the largest
sheet iron stack in the state of Connecti-
cut. The stack was made by the Bige-
low company of New Haven. 1t was
brought to Waterbury in sections over
the Naugatuck road and put together in
the Randolph & Cloves yard. 1t stands
105 feet high on the foundation, is five
feet six inches in diameter, and weighs
nineteen tons. Superintendent G. A.
Cotter gave the representatives of the
different papers free access to the works
to see the process of raising the stack.
A magnificent specimen of the famous
Oregon pine, IS feet high, and purposely
brought on from Boston for this job,
was placed about ten feet from the
foundation of the stack and double
guyed in place. A treble block was at
tached to this about fifteen feet from
the top and the stack caught up at
about fivc-sevenths of its length. There
by means of the blocks and tackles and
four of r. N. Blakeslee's stoutest horses,
it was lifted to the top of the founda-
ton about four feet from the ground
and swung into position. The work
was rendered much more difficult on
account of the weather, the rain falling
heavily most of the time and making
the ropes hard to handle.

LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE.

Card From the Chairman of the
North End Democratic Club.
Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
In last evenings DEMOCRAT an article
appeared on the advisability of holding
new primaries in the third and fourth
wards, but stating at the same time that
as there was only one ticket in the other
wards no new primaries would be
necessary. The reason why a second
ticket was not put in nomination in the
first ward was that the chairman of the
North End club was positively refused
any recognition whatever at the polls,
consequently there was no use in
making out ticket, so long as those
having charge consider themselves
supreme very large portion of tie
voters of the first ward think that if
any new primaries are held, it is as
necessary in the first as either of the
other two wards.
