GIVE THEM A SHOW.
Veterans Want Fair Flay From the
Administration.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Commander-in-
Chief Lawler of the G. A. r. and his ad
jutant-general. c. j. Jones. arrived to-day
to present 10 President Cleveland the reso-
luton adopted by the national encamp-
ment Mt Pittsburg. protesting against the
discharge of veterans of the late war from
Government positions. President Cleve-
land did not come in from bis country
place at Woodley to-day, so that it is
doubtful if the G. A. r. delegates were
able to see him.
General Lawer says he does not intend
to make any speech, but will be prepared
to answer any questions if the President
desires information. He is fortified with
data upon the discharges of veterans from
the departments collected by the local
posts of the G. A. Z.
Commander-in-Chief Lawler and Adju-
tant-General Jones called at the White
House at half-past 2 o'clock. They were
received by Private Secretary Thurher.
Mr.. Lawler presented to Secretary Thur
Der the resolutions of the last encampment
of the G. A. R., accompanied by d state
ment Of the cases of the old soldiers who
have been reduced and those VINO it is
claimed have been Disseminated against
in otter ways.
General Lawler declined to make the
statement public. but said it was con-
sentative presentation of the case based
upon facts and couched in moderate and
respectful terms. The organization had
no political ends to serve and no desire to
do injustice TO the administration, he said,
but felt the facts bearing upon the treat
ment of old soldiers in the Government
service should be made known to Presi-
dent Cleveland, so any action he might
see fit to take should be had with full
knowledge of the matter. Ii is under
stood that the reinstatement oil some of the
veterans who have been discharged is
asked for.

BILL COOK IN CUSTODY.
The Outlaw Thought to Have Been
Arrested in Texas.


FORT SMITH, Ark, Nov. 21.-At the
United States Marshaps Office it is re-
garded as positive that Bill Cook is under
arrest in Texas. He is thought to be one
of the five men captured by the Texas
Dangers at Mitchells Falls. The descrip-
ton of tie man Farris, one of the five, ex-
actly corresponds with that of Cook. This
is strengthened by the fact that the man
who answers the name of Skeeter is an
exact counterpart of Baldwin. alias
Skeeter, of the Cook gang.
Ever since the Correta hold-up six
local detectives have been on the trail of
the bandits and have been we'll posted as
to their movements. A week ago thew
learned that Cook and part OF his band
had gone toward Texas. They used the
wires 10 forward their work, and when
they heard Of the arrest of,the five bandits
mentioned placed great confidence in the
belief that the much-wanted outlaws had
at last been rounded up. Two detectives
have goue to Texas to Identify the men
and bring them in.

pleted to-day, gives Budd 1886. Estee 1861.

HE KEPT THE UMBRELLA.
And Whether He Did Right or Wrong He
Did Not Know.

And Whether He Did Right or Wrong He
Did Not Know.
The ethics of meum and tuum are
elastic as regarded by most individuals.
One man thinks it is his duty to keep
what another man will feel it sin not
to render up, and where the respon-
sibility ends in the search for an owner
of lost property is an undecided ques-
ton. One man formed his decision in
public the other day in this regard and
no doubt came out the better for it.
He had stepped down the staircase
of the Third avenue ''L'' at the Grand
Central station and been whacked on
the shoulders by an excited woman
with very genteel umbrella.
''It belongs to the lady in red she
screamed, and the man, who was gen
t1emanly, middle-aged individual,
which he offered to the young woman
in crimson, already carrying a white
parasol.
the man, casting about for another
woman in red, lit on a portly female
well on in front, with wealth of red
roses in her bonnet.
This second also refused it, display
ing her own black gloria, and then the
perspiring, breathless gentleman fed
on painting and pinning his hope on a
vestige of red which he saw in far off
young wOman's collar.
She didn't own it, either, and then
beneath the blazing afternoon sun the
overworlzed man stood and looked to
every side of him for one other woman
with glimmer of red, but he couldn't
see any. Then he felt he had dis
charged his duty. and his face assumed
an expression not only ofpleasure. but
of hope.
He unfurled the mbre1la and stroIed
the silk appraisingly. He regarded
the handle, then the ferule, raised it,
eyed it approvingly, closed it again,
stuck it under his arm to see how it
felt when it wasn't raining, then
opened it finally again, and, thrusting
it with an air of well satisfied posses
sion between him and the sunlight,
strol1ed down Forty-second street.
And there was no one to remark as
to whether or not his duty might have
been considered to end, or that there
was any such place as lost property

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal"
is shown by all tests, official, scientific and prac-
teal stronger purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. It's superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
turers, and well known by all dealers.
If grocers try sell another baking
powder in place Of the Royal" it is because of
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials and thus, though selling the
same give less value to the consumer

upon you any baking powder in place of the
