The Last of the EdgepiIIocks,


Philadelphia Public Ledger: The
last survivor of the Delaware Indians
who formerly owned all of the
lands in this section of New Jersey
died day or two ago in her hImble
cottage in Southampton Township,
and was buried yesterday dec. 14
from the little Methodist chapel ut
Tabernacle. Her name was Ann Rob
erts, and she was the widow Of John
Roberts, mulatto, who died a number
of years ago. They had several chill
dren, some Of whom are still living. A
picturesque figure she was as she
stood erect in front of her cabin with
her long black hair streaming over her
shoulders, and the neighbOrs all had
a wholesome respect for her She was
nearly six feet in height, very muscu-
lar, and despite her years-she was
past 90-could do a days chOping in
the woods with almost any Of the men
in the neighborhOOd. Indian Ann
as she was called. was the last sur
vivOr of the Edgepillock Indians, n
branch of the Delawares. They were
assigned to a reservation in ShamOng
Township in 1857, where they remain
ed for a long time prosperous and
happy. Then they were removed to
another tract of land in Oneida Coun-
ty, n. y. Indian AIMS parents accom-
panied them, but soon became weary
and returned to Burlington County,
where they lived in a cabin on the
WOolman farm, near Mount Holly, UNI
til their death, which occurred some
time in the fifties.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder 10
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestibe and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sod with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

A Reservoir for Upper ERypt.

The erection of great reservoir in
upper Egypt is now an assured fact.
The work will be begun this spring.
In the next Egyptian budget the sum
Of about 100000 will be set apart for
the purpose, 1t Is announced. The
height Of the dam is to be so regulated
that the Island of Philae, on which is
the Temple Of Isis, will not be flooded.
This is due to protests received from
oil parts Of the world when the sub

by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
Tar as to induce repeated beedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
coplous expectoration (including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
zeal Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery,
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines With
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey
and various preparations of the hypophos
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs of large number of

THE PHoNoGRAPH.

Peck, the manager wants to see you"
Peck was the editor in charge of the
foreign politics.

man who is afflicted with a terrible
cold. Anyway he dropped q large
piece of paper on which he was writ
ing an article on the Corean war, put
his pen on his right, his pipe on the left
Of his copy, and, sneezlng, made his
way to the managers room. A few
moments afterward he reappeared,
having in his arms large box, which
he deposited with great noise on the
table.
whats that?' inquired the other
editors, curiously.
"This," said Peck, with humor, sis
an idea of the manager to do away with
copy"
Suppress the copy! There were buoy
ant prOtestations, and the maddened
editors shook their pens menacingly to-
ward the ceiling.

Peck, contains simply u photograph.
Instead Of writing his article the editor
voices it in the machine, after which

"And you have been chosen to make

"Atchoow sneezed afiirmatvely
Peck. And this explanation brought
back calm in the minds of the editors.
And Peck began telling to the phono-
graph a lot of China things on the
Corean war, without letting himself
get bothered by the editors, as we
know that an editorial room is not al
ways like the Temple Of Silence.
At 2 a, M, just before the makeup,
the proofs Of Peck's article were given
to the proof reader At the first words
he jumped up, and, like a mailman, ran

An Idea In Belts.

How many belts have you got? A wo-
man almost has to have as many belts as
she has bodices nowadays If she wears
them belted, and it is a very brave woman
who snubs fashion and wears basque"
Here Is bit of science in dressing that Is
worth lot to a woman who has not the
waist of a sylph or the figure of Hebe.
Have your dress skirts made so long that
you can fasten the tightly-made belt we'll
up on the bodice. Have the upper part of
the skirt fitted smoothly to your hips and
make the belt pretty tight. When you
faSten it, 1t will stay right there. Then
be sure to have the outside belt as nearly
like the bodice as possible, made Of the
same material, in fact. Adjust it so that
the top of your skirt belt will just come to
the top of the outside belt and you need
then have no fear that your skirt and waist
will part company. A belt like your bodice
will make your waist appear two inches
longer and more than that much smaller.
A belt like your skirt will shorten your
waist perceptibly. 1t is a foolish notion
trying to pull the skirt down to make the
waist longer. Let the skirt belt go in it's
natural place and lengthen the waist with
the wide belt placed over 1t. By the way,
the narrow belt of the early season has
given away to very wide one. Metal
belts and bands of velvet make the waist
look thick, gaudily striped belts have the
same tendency.

less space. To show the tremendous de-
Velopment, which marks in a degree the
general increase of the citys business, it
Is out necessary to state that The Star
now prints an average of about thirty
two columns of this class, called general
advertising. in each daily issue In these
early days there were few merchants who
advertised with comparative liberality. For
instance, liable Brothers, who kept a gen.
eral store at the corner of Tth and ID
streets, where r. Harris is now located
ran an ad that was very large for the
times, but covered only a small space.
Charles Baum and E. G. Davis then used
such as at Christmas, and startle their
more conservative colleagues in business
by continuing 1t for week or month.
liable Brothers and Davis are now out Of
business, but Mr.. Baum has kept up his
pace and Is a liberal advertiser. Taylor &
Hufty, too, were among the firms that did
what was for the time a heavy lot of adver-
Using, but they concentrated their efforts
at the Christmas season. Willet & Libbey
were noted in those early days by keeping
an ad. running once in while announcing
the price of lumber. This Is now kept up
by Mr.. Iibbey, on a scale more in proper
ton to the modern plan of advertising.
These were the most liberal advertisers
In those days. Woodward & Lothrop of
the Boston House set the new pace. They
inaugurated the plan Of changing the ad-
vertisement frequently, and took more
space than any other merchants. March 6,
1880, they made some of the more conser
vative business men gasp when they filed
eighty lines of space and kept the ad. stand
the first yearly contract for advertising
ever made in this city and bargained for
ffty-siX lines day for every week day of

From Parsons Weekly.
The fve-fingered orange is queer thing.
1t grows in exactly the shape of a human
hand, with a thumb and four fingers. 1t Is
half-open hand, that of this curious fruit,
and the close resemblance to the lean, long
nailed hand is startling. Even the nails
are Identical, hard pointed and clawlike,
tipping the orange fingers with a length
equal in some cases to three inches.
1t is no interloper in well-regulated
family of oranges. but regular member,
belonging to the Usage variety. 1t has a
family name and Christian name of It's
own, but It's pet name is "fve-fingered
orange" and nobody but the botanist cares
to call 1t by the one, which means the
same thing.
The tree itself is a ragged little shrub
that does not average more than five or
six feet in height in Its native Japan. 1t
does not grow straight, a properly be-
haved tree is SUPPOSED to do, but Is curved
everywhere. 1t would be very difficult to
find two consecutive inches in the entire
tree whose line of direction is the same.
Even the branches grow in spiral forms,
so that the width of the tree is often as
great the height. The fruit itself is of
a light yellow color, a pure lemon hue,
growing greenish toward the stem. The
size is immense, considered relatively 70
other oranges or to the size of the tree,
the largest ones measuring when mature
fully ten inches from the wrist to the point
of the middle finger. including the nail
The fruit Is not edible-none of the Usage
variety is-but what it lacks in being un-
able to tickle the palate it more than makes
UP in good perfume. The strangest thing
connected with the perfume is that 1t is
the fruit and not the flower that is most
odorous. The fruit when ripe is so redo
lent that its scent can be recognized a full
mile from where the orange is growing
