Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 30 Per Cent Above Its Nearest
Conpetitor.

OO145EIASOAs
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-whereTer
exhibited in competition with others.
In the exhibitions of former years. at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
the various State and Industrial fairs,
where 1t has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
animation for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts OF
the chemical division of the Agricults.r
al Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the ball-
ing powders which were made by this
department for the specific purpose of
aSeertaining which was the best. and
which has been made public, shows
the levening strength of the Royal to
be 160 cubic inches of carbonie gas per
ounce of powder. Of the cream of
tartar baking powders exhibited at the
Fair, the next highest in strength thus
tested contained but 80 cubic inches
of leavening gas. The other powders
gave an average of Ill. The Royal.
therefore, was found of 20 per cent
greater Ieavening strength than its
nearest com petitor, and II per cent
above the average of all the other
tests. It's superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality of food st
makes as TO fineness, delicacy and
wholesOmeness, could not be measured
by figures
1t is these high qualities, known
and appreciated by the women of the
country for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to eX-
ceed the sales of all other baking
powders combined.

The Cook Greenland Excursion De-
nouneed by One of the Party.
CLEVELAND. O., Sept. 24.-Ex- Mayor
Gardiner, who was a member of the
Cook Greenland excursion party, re-
turned yesterday. He says the
affair was misrepresented and mis-
managed in every particular by DR..
Cook, The Miranda had only arrived
in New York harbor with a load of
coffee from South America three days
before she sailed for Greenland, and
was entirely unfit to make the trip
The captain protested vigorously
against taking the vessel north,
but all to no purpose. Continuing, Mr..
Gardiner charged DIR. Cook with send
ing out slIuring circulars when get
ting up the party which proved to be
most deceiving, and that the ex-
cursion was run for pecuniary
benefit to the promoter. The ex-
Mayor alleges that while the ex
cursion started out with the intention
of remaining north two months,
enough provisions were only taken to
last two thirds Of that time and the
party was aeon put OF short rations.

HEROES OF YALU.
They Are Declared to be Graduates Of
Annapolis Military Institute.

Annapolis Military Institute.
WASHINGTON, Sept 25. = Admiral
Ito, who commanded the Japanese
fleet in the battle in the Yalu river
last Monday when far stronger
Chinese fleet was disastrously de-
feated and nearly all of the other
commanders of the Japanese war
ships engaged, were educated at the
United States naval academy at An
napolis. The admiral was the second
japanese cadet to graduate from the
school. Naval officers declare that
the Japanese cadets outclassed two
thirds of the Western cadets OF this
country and were superior to all 9TH
ers in workmanship and athletic
work. The japanese at Annapolis
number eleven. All of them took
high rank for scholarship and sea-
manship and displayed rare skill in
acquiring knowledge of naval tactics.
Few of the ordnance officers of the
navy accept the recent engagement
between the Japanese and Chinese
fleets in the Yalu river as a demon
stration of the superiority of fleet I'M
armored cruisers over heavily pro-
tected but moderate speed battle
ships. One of these officers declared
yesterday that he believed that later
reports would show that the Chinese
war ships were not badly damaged.
He made an elaborate argument in
defense of the armored ships.

China VIII Fight japan If the war
Lasts Thirty Years

Lasts Thirty Years.
LONDON, Sept 25.-A dispatch from
Berlin to the Times saws a member OF
the Chinese legation. in an interview,
said China cannot dare to abandon
Corea, even if the war should last
thirty years Besides, he added, the
Coreans are still hostile to the Jap
anese, as is proven by their refusal 10
concede the japanese demand that
they cut off their long hair as a sign
of submission.
The Japanese, he further said, have
done everything to wound the feel
ings of the Chinese. Directly the
Chinese minister had left Toxic at
the outbreak of active hostilities. the
japanese destroyed the Chinese Iega
ton and Buddhist temple, besides
setting fire to and destroying Chinese
clubhouses and residences and muir
dering helpless Chinese in the stree is.
Count Aoki, the japanese minister
to Germany, was also intervie we'd.
He secuted the idea of any cesSat ton
of hostilities. He fatty denied that
the Chinese had been murdered or
their property destroyed in Toxic.
On the other hand, he said, the
Chinese had insulted the Japanese
minister at Tien Tsin, and
Japanese laborers who were
working in the camphor fields
in Corea. It was also untrue, he de-
clared, that the Japanese had de-
manded that the Coreans cut their
hair. The king and the people of
Corea have been friendly with the
japanese since the battle near Asan.
In conclusion, the count said the
japanese leaders would perhaps have
a hard task to invade China, but they
were determined to persevere.
A Shanghai dispatch states the
Chinese government has refused the
request of Prince Ching, president OF
Tsung Ii Yamen, that he be given
command in Corea. Prince Ching is Z
strong advocate of conceding Japan's
demands 1t is supposed he only
wanted to Investigate personally the
condition of the Chinese forces in the
field

WOOL I'M GREAT DEMAND.
Great stimulation In the Argentina and

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - Minister
Zeballos of the Argentina republic
says remarkable stimulation of the
wool industry of , his country has
resulted from ghe enactment of the
tariff law in this country. Raw
wool has made some heavy ad,
vances in the Argentina market, sim
liar to the rise in London and Paris,
and extensive preparations are being
made for wool exports to this coun-
try. This country bought So, 600, DOC
worth of the coarse grade, long
com bed Argentine wool last year, but
the trade promises ia reach 3, 5000, 600
this year. The coarse grade Is used

Minister Zeballos says the increased
price of wool overcomes the fears felt
by American wool growers that the
foreign competitors would pull down
the price and kill the American WOOL
production. On the contrary the in
creased trade shows that the Amert-
can wooden factories intend to en-
large their work, while the increased

DEADLY SMALL oALIBRE RIFLES

A Chicago paper notes that during the re-
cent riots in that city, ''the largest part of
the shot took effect on persons at a distance
from the riots, and in some cases indoors" !"
and asks, What will happen when the regu-
lar army and the militia are equipped with
the deadly new small-calibre rifesP' The
query is pertinent. During the encampment
of the Georgia State troops at Griffith, Lieu
tenant Satterlee gave the soldiers an exhibit
tion of the powers of the terrible weapons.
At 100 yards the rifle sent bullet through
an oak tree twenty-four inches in diameter,
and the bullet plowed the earth beyond. AT
the same distance bullets were senJ through
pine nearly thirty inches in diameter, and
piece of seasoned hard wood nearly twenty
inches thick. These facts indicate that il
the soldiers take such weapons with them to
quell the next riot, the city in which the riot
occurs will be a decidedly unhealthy place to
live in while the shooting ls going on. A
suggestion that seems to be to the point is
that when the troops have rioters to deal
with they be given double-barreled shot
guns and cartridges loaded with buckshot.-

PYTHIANs DISAPPOINTED.
Poor outlook for Large Attendance

WASHINGTON, Aug 25. 1S94.-Today
the Pythian camp on the monument
grounds was formally turned over by
the Citizens Committee to Major-Gen-
eral Carnahan, commander-in-chief of
the order. All the tents have been erect
ed, and everything is in readiness for
the visiting organizations.
Pythian officers are much disappointed
over the prospect of a comparatively
small attendance at the encampment
This is attributed to two reasons-the
failure of most of the railroad COM
panies to make a low rate and the de-
sire of many people, who would other
wise attend, TO witness the Grand Army
Encampment in Pittsburg next month.
1t is expected that Texas will send one
of the largest contingents of Knights
and other visitors. This is ascribed to
the fact that a round trip rate from
Texas to Washington has been made by
the railroads.
1t is impossible to estimate the num-
ber of visitors in town. The crowded
streets testify that, although they may
be fewer than was expected, they make
noticeable addition to the ordinary
population.

Young George R. Fuller Became

Jersey City, and especially Lafayette

shot himself last Wednesday morning in
a room at the City Hotel, in Williams

He was sitting upon the piazza when
a detective came up to him with war;
rant for his arrest for passing forged
check. He said he.would go with the de'
tective as soon as he got his hat, and
went inside for it, followed by the officer.
He went directly to his room, and, tak-
ing a pistol from the bureau drawer
fired two shots into his head before the
astonished detective could prevent him.
His body was removed to the morgus
and a telegram sent to his folks at
Orange.
HE PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Many are familiar with the doings Of
Fuller just previous to his leaving Jer-

and worthless checks upon merchants

he would have undoubtedly been arrests

Fuller was at one time engaged to
young lady in Lafayette, the daughtet

her to break off the engagement. From
that time he did not seem to care what

BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD.

One of the Curious Customs Peculiar
to the Mormon Church.
''The people of the East who imagine that
the members of the Mormon Church have
given up single iota of the tenets and prac-
said Robert E. Yewell of Ogden. ''Whils
polygamy is not INDUCED in as openly as
heretofore, it nevertheless fourishes all over
the territory, and the priesthood of the Nor
mon Church has just AS tenacious hold
upon the people. There are $4,000
men enrolled in the priesthood IN
Utah, and each one of them has
definite duties to perform. Old President
Woodruff, who is nearly seventy years old
and nearing his end despite his rugged ap-
pearance, is a religious enthusiast who is i'm
plicit in his faith and devotes himself to its
spiritual advancement, but under the lead of
his undoubted successor, George O. Cannon,
who was for many years the delegate from
Utah in Congress and who is easily the ablest
man in the Norman church, you will find
that the followers of Joseph Smith will re-
sumo as autocratic sway as they ever en-
joyed in the days of Brigham Young. Can
non knows every detail of the church and
will use his knowledge to advance its inter-
ests and his own ambition in every direction.
During the past few years President Wood
ruff has devoted most of his time to being
baptized You see one of the most curious
customs of the Mormon church is baptism
for the dead.
'sThe Mormons believe that if one of their
saints assumes the name and goes through
the ceremony of immersion for a dead rela
tive who passed away before the Angel
Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and gave
the world an opportunity to enjoy the bless
ings of the new dispensation the soul of the
deceased in question will be made spotless in
its spiritual abode and relieved from any
blemish that might have hitherto
interfered with enjoyment of heaven
ly happiness. President Woodcuf has
been baptized for no less than
5000 OF these dead relatives and in his own
person has been immersed as proxy for
eyery president of the United States who
died before Smith had his alleged interview
with the angel that | mentioned just now.
There are 100000 Mormons in Utah now,
and while the saints bought large tracts of
land in Mexico several years ago, to which
their followers might flee in the evil days to
come, they have no more idea of giving up
their grasp on Utah than | have of jumping
off the Washington monument. Wv WashinS-
