What Was 1t?

A dispatch says a curious phenomenon
was seen in the heavens by citizens Of
Wilmington, N. c., from $50 to 7 o'clock
the other morning. 1t made a grand
sight, but no one seems able to deter
mine just what it was. Some describe
it as meteor and others as a comet.
One eyewitness says it had the appear
ance of a large star with a tail, which
to the naked eye seemed about 100 yards
long. The end of it finally burst, leav-
ing trail of fire of many beautiful
colors.
A colored astronomer says he saw the

A remarkable case was presented to

lege couple Of weeks ago by DR.. Low
ing. The patient had been subjected
to an operation for pleurisy by Buffalo

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder Has All the
Honors-In strength and Value 20 Per
Cent. Above Its Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
env1able record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined--wh wherever ex.
hlblted IN competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various States and Industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exami-
nations for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemical
division of the Agricultural Department
at Washington. The official report of
the test of the baking powders which
we're made by this department for the
specific purpose of ascertaining which
was the best, and which has been made
public, shows the leavening strength of
the Royal to be l6U cubic inches Of car
bonlc gas per ounce Of powder OF the
cream of tartar baking powder exhibited
at the Fair, the next highest in strength
thus tested contained but 1873 cubic in
ches Of leavening gas. The other powders
gave an average of Ill. The Royal, there
fore, was found Of 20 per cent. greater
leavening strength than its nearest com
petitors, and a per cent. above the aver
age of all the other tests. It's superiority
in other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it makes as to fineness. deli
cacy and wholsomeness could not be
measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
apprecia cd 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 exceed the sales
of all other baking powders combined.

To Europe For $40.

To Europe for SO, including board
and lodging, is the present rate of the
competing steamship lines. Persons
who make frequent trips first class can
not view the war in steerage rates with
out some feelings of envy. The remark
able price of so for trip of from
seven to nine days, with good sanitary
quarters, plenty of wholesome food and
drink, and in record breaking steamer
at that, is one reason for the very large
emigration during the past two months.
Though the transatlantic companies
are fighting to the death for the steerage
traffic, they display an altogether Won
derful degree Of Indifference to first class
passengers. Competition in this direc-
ton is apparently barred by cast iron
mutual agreement.-New York Sun.

yard and under the clothesline and
seized those stockings and pulled 'em
off the line and rode away.
'All that trip down across the hot

"Well we got down into the territory

gamblers, you know, and we bet with
them everything we had. We raced and
won from them all the money and
blankets they possessed.
"The blankets were United States
army blankets, but we can use them by
cutting out the U. S. At last we came
down to foot runners, and the Indians
brought out their man. He was tall,
broad chested and long limbed. He
could go like the wind, and our best
runner was nothing compared with
him. Why, he was the best physical

When brought them out, they created
the biggest kind Of sensation, and the
curiosity to touch them was something
comical.
''They just wanted to put their hands
on them to see what they We're.

crowd as if they were only relics.
Jake, put those on and run with
them, L said.

he said.
Eyes, you can. Don't you see that
they are mystifed?'
''He put them on, and though he was
a large man they came clear to his hips.
We pinned them up and he started
with the big Indian. 1t was plain by
the faces of the greasers that they had
lost all faith in their man as against the
striped stockings. The Indian ran lit
tie distance and then fell behind, with
his eyes fixed in terror on those flying
stockings. He was beaten. And do you

"A L1UrIe -Ao.- at Une Picnic.

Enterprise in advertising has almost
become fine art in the present day.
Novelties are not only numerous, but
frequently unique. A Birmingham
chemist recently, with his family, at

fork tea, which formed part of the pro-
gramme, he distributed among the COM

which bore an advertisement referring
to his specialties, and later during the

forth the advantages which could be de-
rived from the use of certain pills, the
frequent application of a well known
plaster or daily doses of some ones ton

An Amusing Incident in the City Court. Some amusement was created Tn the city court yesterday morning when James Nagle, having been called, charged with non support, and having been confronted by his supposed neg ,lected wife, 1t was found that it was a case of mistaken identity, and that the Nagle who was; arrested was not the woman,s husband, neither was he any connection. What made the circum- stances more amusing was the fact that the man who was arrested had not been living with his wife for two years and although he had been supporting her he supposed when he was arrested that 1t really was his wife who had insti- tuted action. 50 1t was to him a very pleasant surprise when the mistake was found. The wrong James was dis charged and later in the day the right James was arrested. !,
