THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder I'm Strength ana
Value 30 Per Cent Above Its Nearest
Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
yiable record of having received the
highest award for articles of It's class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly ombined-whereve or ex-
hibited in competition with others In
the exhibitions OF former years, at tfs
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs, where
Il has been exhibited. judges have in
vnriably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division OF the Agricul-
tural Department of Washington. The
official report OF the tests OF the baking
powders which were made 10y this de-
partment for the specific purpose OF as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength OF the Royal 20 be 100
cubic inches OF carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream OF tartar
baking powders exhibited ut the Fair,
the next highest in strength thus tested
contained but 1873 cubic inches of leaven-
ing gas. The other powders gave an
average OF Ill. The Royal, therefore,
was found OF copper cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than rs nearest competi-
tor, and "A per cent. above the average
of all tho other tests. It's superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of food IL makes as to fneness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
II is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women OF the coun-
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,
as shown by statistics, 20 exceed the
sales OF all other baking powders com.
bined.

Stories of Inmates Who Were Trans
ferred to Auburn.

ELMIRA, n. y. July 24.-The Re-
formatory investigation was resumed
this morning. DR.. Flint and Mr.. Deyo
were the only Commissioners present,
Judge Larned being detained by illness.
Judge Gilbert called attention to a
resolution passed by the Reformatory
managers to the effect that no trans
ferred convicts should be brought back
to the Reformatory to testify and then
be kept there. He wanted to prevent
the managers from bringing back trans
fers who testified and making them
serve more time.
Thomas Dougherty was first called. He
came from Brooklyn. and held every
position in the military Il convict could.
He said that a young convict named
Nicholson accused him of Righteousness,
and he was reduced from his rank and
taken to Auburn. The witness denied
that he was guilty of the charges, fifty
in number. Dougherty then told of one
occasion when he struck an inmate in
the face six times. He did 1t at Bryan's
direction. When transferred to Auburn
not received. but had not applied for It,
The next witness, an ex-convict sen
fenced for forgery, requested that his
name be not used. and the Commits
sioners requested the reporters to OBJ
serve his request. The witness was &C.
cused of immora, conduct, and was
transferred to Auburn. He said he was
not guilty of the charges, and admitted
them to escape possible punishment.

Is likely to arrange a combination that
will result in a close. sultry day.
1t will be an occasion in which one
vainiy endeavors to extract comfort from

while the humidity. up in the sos, fosters
the impression that the mercury in
reality Is somewhere near the 100 mark.
A dull. cloudy day. with Il mist-soaked
atmosphere. is capable of disseminating
considerable discomfort even with a COM
paratively low temperature.
The wind this morning was sluggish
and slow. loafng along at Britannia
gait of three miles an hour. A dense
fog hangs over the middle Atlantic and
New England coast.
Light showers have been falling over
the Atlantic States and west over New

The temperature has been stationary
throughout the country, with the eXcep-
ton of northern New York, where 1t
was slightly cooler this morning. The
wind Is gradually shifting from the
northeast to the southeast. 1t will prob
ably bring warmer weather in its train.

MU1|NY up The SOUND
Capt Hall Says He Was Compelled
to Shoot Two Sailors.
The Wounded Men Are Brothers and
Are Expected to Die.
Early Morning Fight on schooner
Robert Il. King.

COLLEGE POINT l.. l.. July 24.--In-
form alton reached this place at an early
hour this morning that II serious shoot
ing ARRAY had occurred late last night
on the schooner Robert b. King, lying in
the Sound off Rikcr's Island.
Officers Kraebel, Williams and Kramer
rowed out to the schooner and boarded
the vessel about = A. NJ. and then
learned the story OF the shooting.
Capt Parker j. Hall. said that two Of
his crew. Charles and Frank Quart,
brothers, mutinied last night and at
tackled him. when he was compelled TO
use his revolver. He fired several shots.
One bullet struck Charles Quart in the
head and another lodged in the left
breast OF Frank Quart near the heart.
The two wounded sailors were in a
very weak condition. and were not able
to give an account of the shooting. The
officers placed Capt. Hall under arrest
and locked him up on snore.
The wounded sailors were placed in a
yawl boat and removed to the Flushing
Hospital. where they now are in a
critical condition.
Both are expected to die.
Coroney Corey took the statements of
the Quart brothers. as they lay on cots
In the hospital.
Their stories OF the shooting differ
from that told by Capt. Hall. They
said that when the Captain came
aboard OF the vessel last night, after
being away two days in New York, he
began to upbraid them without cause,
and became enraged at them because
of some replies they made to MIN.
They stated that they did not attack
the Captain and that he began firing at
them without provocation. The wound
ed brothers are Portuguese and are
twenty-one and twenty-four years old
| respectively. Capt. Hall will be held to
await the result of the two sailors in
| juries.
The house surgeon at the Flushing
| Hospital this afternoon said that both
Of the men were In IA critical condition.
and thorough examination had not
