ness. The offender whose crime is com
palativey insignificant on the criminal
docket cannot help but feel his inferiOrity
and his inSigniticance in the presence of
the ariStOcratS of the Jail, who have sue
cecded in the fine art of crime. The man
who would steal a few dollars out of a
cash drawer when he could have done
honor to himself and his profession by
stealing into the dwelling Of sol'e old
miSer and killing him for his gold, is Il
dGspiSed being, who is looked upon as q
bungler who ought to go into some other
profession and not disgrace the calling OF
exalted criminals. There's prisoner at
the jail about whom I have heard this
remark made often: why dat Niger
'rd steal de money often a dead pusson's
eyes" Such a compliment is rarely paid
to criminals only rascals who have sue
ceeded to the degree that they are regard
ed as artists are ever spoken of as highly
as that.
There is a prisoner in Jail who is charg-
ed with having stolen d clock from
church, and that achievement has won
him an enyiable jail fame. If he had
only stolen clock from Il residence he
would have been looked upon as very
ordinary criminal; but to steal Il clock
from % church is high art in crime, and
shows Il recblessneSs and Il depravity
that is Il sure passport to the Royal AssO-
citation Of LaWbreakcrs. If you want to
move il the jail 400 YOU must do
something desperately wicked and mean
something that shows that You are not
reckoning what the consequences will be.
Kill somebody in II real cOld-blooded and
artistic way, and you may be the Ward
MCC1llSter of jail society.

From The Chattanooga News.
The Atlanta Constitution is determined MOI
to be cheated out of the eclat of the proceed
ence of using the force bill as n weapon to
not only down the third party in the great
state of Georgia but also to assist in the de
feat Of the republican party The Review of
Reviews says that The New York sun took
up the cry of no force bill and that The Con
stituticn and other southern papers adopted
it rs the tocSin OF war. The Constitution
claims the priority in the case and they are
right and The Review of Reviews should re
tract. The Constitution is Il great paper
and says many things long before other people
think about them.

work Of the st. Louis murderer, probably Il
medical student, was a terrible revelation
this morning in the baggage depot at Quincy,
Ill. A white man was chopped to pieces and

in st. Louis as baggage. 1t was only about
three feet in length and about one foot deep.
When it reached Quincy Baggagman W.

the box, but thought it contained game that
had spoit. No one called for the box and
Sunday morning the stencil became so strong
that few people dared to venture near
Finally Mr.. Kendall opened the box and tn e
discovery was made as above stated At

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

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
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
Of the baking powder which will give her the best
iood with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or 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.
