AN ENviABLE RECORD.
Royal BakIng Powder wins All the
HomOrs-In Strength and Value
20 Per Cent. Above Its Nearest
Competitor.

The Royal Baking Powder has the
enyiable record of having received the
highest award for articles OF its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients.
most perfectly combined-wherever
exhibited in competition with others.
In the exhibitions of former years, at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various State and Industrial
fairs where it has been exhibited,
judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Powder the highest
honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
sminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts of
the chemical division OF the Agricul-
tural Department at Washington.
The official report of the tests of the
baking powders which were made by
this department for the specific pur-
pose OF ascertaining which was the
best, and which has been made public,
shows the leavening strength OF the
Royal to be 16O cubic inches OF car
bonic gas per ounce Of powder. OF the
cream of tarter baking powders ex-
bibited at the Fair. the next highest
in strength thus tested contained but
l33 cubic inches OF leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
OF 20 per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearer competitor,
and A per cent. above the average of
all the other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
of the food it 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 pow
ders combined.

LAST NIGHTS LECTURE.
Rabbi Voorsaneer On ''Cranks al
reamerS,,-BriIliant Discourse.

Rabbi Voorsaneer On ''CrankS and
Observation-Disclosures Discourse.
Rabbi Voorsanger of San Francisco
spoke before the Sacramento Lecture AS
sociation last night at the Congregational
Church. The auditorium was comfort
ably filled, and more attentive appre-
ciative and generous audience the lee
turer could scarcely have asked for.
His subject was "Cranks and Dream
ers." Adequate treatment of the lecture.
which occupied an hour and half in de-
livery, is impossible unless couple of
columns were devoted to its presentation
and analysis. and exigencies OF space and
time forbid that.
His delivery is that of the eloquence of
earnestness and the persuasiveness OF
sincerity. His historical parallels were
sharply drawn and accurately stated.
His estimate of the characters OF the
great "cranks" of time, the men who
thought ahead of their era, was lofty,
generous and eulogistic.
So, too, his ideas OF the great dream
ers" beginning with the prophets of
Israel, were comprehensive and looked
in the direction of millennial era when
peace shall not be as a child aimlessly
wandering and liberty right bounded
by nationality, but when all men shall be
brethren indeed and war, contention, sect
and persecution shall be no more.
The most brilliant, thrilling and poetic
passage of the lecture was the tribute he
paid to the great teacher of the greatest
and most precious of truths: the teacher
of the best of humanity and godliness,
Jesus of Nazareth.

CHIEF OF POLICE.
Trustee Pennish moved that the action
taken on the confirmation of Timothy
Lee for Chief of Police be reconsidered.
Trustee Wacbhorst seconded the mo-
ton.
Trustee Tozer thought the motion out
of order.
Cushing's Manual was appealed to to
throw some light on the subject, but the
circumstances of the former vote were
peculiar and it was hard to determine.
The President decided the motion in
order and the question OF reconsideration
came up for action.
Trustee Tozer said that the matter had
been fairly considered and no one had
been wronged. To reconsider this looks
like boys play.
Trustee Leonard said this movement
! looked as If a pressure had been brought
to bear in this particular case. If the
board starts in to reconsider this there
will be no end to it and they may as well
reconsider all the votes. 1t looked as il
it was a move 10 make the board disclose
how they were voting and destroy the
secret ballot.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S BACK TAXES.
How the Account Has Been Finally
Adjusted.
TabuIated Statement showing the
Amounts Due the State and
the Several Counties.

The railroad back taxes were not paid
into the State Treasury yesterday, as was
expected, but doubtless will be to-day or
tomorrow.
The delay in the settlement of these
taxes has been caused by the fact that
discrepancies existed between the records
of several counties and the receipts held
by the Southern Pacific Company. Con-
troller Colgan could not prepare his final
figures until all the receipts had been
verified by the figures of county officials
themselves in the counties where the dis
crepancies existed.
At last the whole matter has been
Strengthened out, and by the payment
now to be made and the one in April
next the State will receive something
over a half million dollars.

said his folks reside in Red Bluff. His
body and limbs were swollen to most
unnatural size. and the perspiralion was

OF the PROPRIETOR.
Burglars effected an entrance to the
Central Market on Third street, near X,
some time during Sunday night, but all
they got was ninety cents from the cash
register.
The proprietor came near leaving $500 in
the shop that night, but on second thought
concluded to ''bank" with a house that
kept open all night. The burglars APP
parently knew he had the money, as an
attempt was made the same night to enter
his residence.
Perhaps by the time some of these
thieves and burglars get killed the rest
may conclude to let up on this city.
