River and Harbor Dill a Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The river and
harbor BILL, carrying Sl1, 479, $50. became a
law at midnight tonight without Presi-
dent Cleveland's signature, the legal limit
of ten days having expired within which
he could sign or veto it, 1t is the third
time during Mr.. Cleveland's two terms
that a river and harbor bill has become a
law without his approval, the only other
bill of the kind submitted to him having
been vetoed. Fears were expressed up to
a late hour to-day that the present bill
would be vetoed, as Mr.. Cleveland made
it known to the river and harbor managers
several months ago that he did not want
the total of the bill to exceed ten mill
lions. This led to pairing down the ap-
preparations on most of the river and
harbor projects, about four-ffths from the
estimates, so that the total of S9,53S, $50 al
lowed by the House was about one-fifth
of what the army engineer asked to prose-
cute the work. In the Senate the bill was
raised to S12, 790,6 $50. This led TO an ami
mated struggle in conference, the House
men contending that the bill would be
vetoed unless ii was much reduced. The
conferees finally reduced ii to 81, 479, $780,
and thus * agreed to in both houses,
and SO went to the President. Aside from
the amount carried by the bill the sundry
civil appropriation bill also carries S. i00,-
coo for river and harbor contracts. making
a total for this class Of work Of s19S7S, $780,
This is about two millions less than the
amount given for river and harbor work
at the first session of the last Congress-
An important feature of the new bill is
that 1t authorizes no new contracts.

mild the plant Is an exceedingly free
grower. 1t twines and climbs with

flowers, which have q very agreeable

able moths. On a summer evening a

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The "Royai"
is shown by all tests, Official, scientific, and prac-
teal, stronger, purer, and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
mrers, and we'll known by all dealers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the "Royal," it is because OF
the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence
Of the 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 for the
same, give less value to the consumer.
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm of
upon you any baking powder in place of the
"Roval." There is no substitute for the Royal"
