Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, can know how to it, and uni
ormly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
is heavy and the -four eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitutc for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.

4 VOTED CHICKEN THEE.

Andrew jackson, Colored, Charged on
Four Counts of tho Larceny of Chickens
ana Harness.
Andrew jackson, sly -looking colored
citizen, who seemingly has little regard
for the memory of the great statesman
whose name he bears, was arraigned in
municipal court Tuesday charged
on four counts in an indictment for
larceny of chickens, harness and lap
robes. Ex-Sheriff William Simmons,
who once blistered Jackson's back with
the "cat" during his official term as
sheriff, was one of the principal wit
uesses against the prisoner. The ex-
sheriff stated that Jackson had for the
| past year been stealing his property, con-
| eisting OF chickens, harness and lap-robes,
to the aggregate value of 500. Some
Of the chickens Jackson buried alive in
a manure-heap in ex-Sheriff Simmons
stable, and when Mr.. Simmons son ad,
monished the negro for taking the
poultry jackson declared that the chick
ems were afflicted with the cholera, and
it unnamed him TO see them suffer so.
He therefore smothered them. Thomas
Sharp stated that when he accused
jackson of taking the chickens the lat
ter denied the allegation, but he after
wards discovered where Jackson had
buried the chickens by trail of feathers
leading to the manure-heap in the stable
Ex-Policeman William III. Sherer, who
is now special officer on Madison
street, testified that he bought bride
and lap-robe from Jackson, but the
latter stole the bride over again. The
property was afterwards identified al
that of Mr.. Sharp.
Thomas Reynolds testified that h,
lost no less than 90 chickens through
Jackson's love for poultry.
Judge Ball told Jackson he was no
shedding much glory on the name o
his illustrious predecessor, but Andrew
expressed no signs Of remorse and wa
committed in default of $500 bail TO
) the September term of court.

The Board of Police Commissioners Do
termined to Enforce the Rules of the
Police Department.
At the meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners, Monday night, charges
were preferred by Chief of Police Dolan
against Turnkey William Il. Hickman
and House Sergeant Isaac V. England,
for violation of the rules of the board
in allowing John P. McElroy, q Wife
beater, to escape from the city hall cells,
on the morning of July 10th, between
the hours of and Z. According
TO the evidence the prisoners were
brought out in the corridor to wash
themselves, preparatory TO eating break
fast, Hickman stood at the cell door as
the prisoners passed out while House
Sergeant England was busy taking
down their age, color, occupation and
nativity.
While the backs of the officers were
turned McElroy crept up the back stair
way, waited till the other prisoners were
| returned TO their cells and finding the
door at the head of the corridor open,
made his escape.
In an affidavit McElroy stated that
| House Sergeant England was sitting out
side the police station, while Turnkey
| Hickman was inside, when he passed
out unnoticed and unrecognized. Afli-
| davits were also read from Curtis Buck
and Ward Boyer, two other prisoners,
who saw McElroy walk out of the cor
rider and escape.
Charles Thomas, janitor at the police
station, testified that after the prisoners
had washed themselves they were placed
in the cells, but the iron door in the
corridor was not locked. This contra
dicted the testimony of Turnkey Hick
man, who said he locked the door after
the prisoners were attended to, and
when the janitor came to clean up he
gave him the keys and the latter un
locked the door.
Captain Kane stated that on the morn
ing the prisoner escaped he was attend

A TRIBUTE no MIR. MASSEY.
Eulogized in q Sermon Delivered by the
Rev. Il. Il. Terry.

Rev. 7. e. Terry.
In his sermon in st. Paul's NJ. Z.
Church Sunday evening the Rev. T. E.
Terry paid tribute to Hon. George V.
Massey. Mr.. Terry's subject was "Re-
suits Of Disobeying Gcd."
He spoke of the Columbian EXPOSE
ton in contrast with the Centennial
Exposition. The contrast, he said,
Exposition was splendid financial
success and the influence which went
abroad from it was for good, and only
good, the Columbian Exposition, so far,
has proved a financial failure and the
moral influence that has gone out from
il has been decidedly bad. During the
Centennial Exposition the Sabbath was
observed strictly and Gods law was
honored in the government of that ex-
position. The effort of the management
Of the Columbian Exposition seems to
be to defraud the United States govern
ment, which created 1t, and to defy
God.
In connection with this point the min
lister said no one connected with the
management of the Columbian Epol.
ton has made such a record as Hon
George v. Massey of Delaware, and fol
the stand he has taken on the Sabbath
question. daring to stand alone for what
be believed to be right, his name will
descend to posterity with lustre I'M
surpassed by any of Delaware's honoret
sons, of whom there have not been ,
few. Mr.. Massey finds himself at las
on the winning side, because he dared
70 take his stand on Gods side, knowing
that God and one man always consti
tute q majority.
