John Railey, who lives about four
miles from Trimble, Tenn, is one of the
happiest men in the county. The cause

Of the movements Of General Forrest,
camped at a spring near Mr.. Railey's
residence. The following morning be-

At that time Bailey was well off, but

A Wealthy Vagrant.

\ ragged and dirty vagrant who gave
the name of John Walsh. A Hayward
street, Brooklyn, was arrested the other
day by Policeman MCGOWAN at the cor
ner Of Fulton and Cumberland streets in
that city. He was charged with loung-
ing and vagrancy.
When the sergeant took stock of the
contents Of the mans pockets, he nearly
tainted with establishment. First roll
of bills amounting to $50 was found
then an Emigrant Savings bank book
showing deposits of $4,000 turned up
and lastly the officer took from an inside
pocket a book issued by the Provident
Savings bank of Jersey City, which gave
John Walsh credit for having $1,000 in
the banks keeping. Then the man him
self produced from another pocket a
certificate Of deposit in an English bank
which added So 900 to his assets,
In the Butler street court the wealthy
vagrant was fined So, which he paid with
some reluctance from the roll of bills
found upon him.-New York Adver-

A pleasant feature of the advertising
put forth by the Royal Baking Powder
Company, frequently commented upon
by consumers, is the absolute confidence
that may be had in the truthfulness of
all its claims and statements. There is
evidently the same care and accuracy in
the framing OF the Royal advertisements
that there is in the compromising OF the
Royal Powder.
II appears, unfortunately, that not all
baking powder people are so scrupulous-
ly careful. The recent letter from the
Judge OF Awards on Baking Powders at
the Chicago Worlds Fair, exposing the
ialsity OF the claim OF another house
that its baking powder had received the
highest award for strength, purity, ex-
cellence, etc, is a scathing rebuke to
those manufacturers of inferior baking
powders who have no regard for the
truth, but habitually seek, in their pub
lie announcements, to deceive consum-
ers. The Judge of Awards states that
no such award was given to the concern
in question, and has notified it that it
must cease publishing his name in con-
nection with its false statements.
