The true test of a baking powder is
well known to every housekeeper 1t
is to try it in making bread, cake, etc,
and we are of the opinion that it will
be impossible to remove from the
minds of our housewives the convic-
ton long ago formed from the appli-
cation of this practical test, that the
Royal does make the best, the most,
and the most wholesome.

powder the Royal" should be used.

Some one once said of Richard Vaux, Of
Philadelphia, that he lived TO prove by his
own experience the needlessness of an
overcoat or an umbrella. This lends a
sad interest to tine fact that he caught
the cold which caused his death by going
out on a raw, cold day without an over
coat The utility Of the overcoat is thus
INDICATED by the sacrifice of a brilliant
mans life.

Whom did Speaker Crisp have in mind

A MoEHER's HEROIC ACT.
She Climbs Down Into Il Well to Save
Her Boys Life.

k1er hoy Lie
EMPoRIA, May 27-News has Just been
brought in here from farm near Hart
ford OF the heroic act of mother in
saving her little three year old boy from
drowning. The woman was Mrs. Dennis
OConnor. The boy had fallen into
we'll in which the water was ten feet
deep.
There was no one on the place except
the mother. who is tall and slender
woman. She went down in the we'll on
the points of the rocks which jutted out
from the wall--a feat that few men
would attempt and fewer still accom-
plish-and rescued the child.
When she reached the water the child
was going down for the last time she
frantically called to it, "Give mamma
your little hand" and the child had
enough life left to reach its mammals
hand, which the agonized mother grasped
and while retaining her hold on the slip
perry rocks of the wall worked the child
up under her arm TO point where she
could turn its head down SO the water
could run out.
She then made her way up out of the
we'll, some 90 feet, with the child in her
arms, clinging to the points of the rocks
and sticking her toes in the crevices, and
emerged safe and sound from what
promised several times in her journey to
be a watery grave for both her and the
child.

SIGHTS IN A CITY CEMETERY.

Pathetic Suggestions in the Humble Mon
uments Over Graves of the Poor.
Many people other than those who
have friends buried there visit the
larger city cemeteries and walk or
drive along the broad avenues. These
quiet places are also favOritc TRUSTING
places. Their solemn Stiffness seems
to appeal with peculiar force to the
sentimental mood of lovers
Some of the carving on the large
monuments is left until the stone is
put in place and the tap of the stone
carver's mallet is heard at intervals.
The stiffness is also interrupted occa-
sionally by the squawking of the
geese which are kept On the lakes One
is apt to feel indignant for moment
on hearing this for the first time. 1t
has a ribald sound like the noise of
rowdies. Rowdies do practice their
unhauOwed mockeries even here. Beer
bottles were found stuck in two of the
fower-vases in one of the large GEM
eteries not long ago, the work of some
vandals who had wandered in there.
There are d good many pathetic
things to be seen in what may be called
the humber quarters of this silent
city. Various eXpedients for marking
the graves of their dead are resorted
to by poor people who can not afford
the expense of even the plainest mar
bic slab. The plaster casts represent.
ing an infant supporting basket Oh
its head, an advertisement of a certain
patent medicine and commonly seen in
drug store windows, are often used
over the graves of children. There are
probably half dozen of them at Oak
woods. good many of the graves in
this section are marked with wooden
monuments, most Of them cross-shaped.
Between the arms OF the cross is a case
with a glass cover in which there are
usually artificial flowers Sometimes
these cases have toys in them which,
10 doubt, Were once the cherished
play things OF the little hands which
have long since crumbled into
dust Most of the monuments
of this sort seem to have
been erected good many
years ago. They were originally paint
ed white, but the paint has gradually
disappeared and they are gray and
weather-beaten. One of these graves
has a stuffed white rabbit on it. Who
knows what sad little story may be
connected with this rabbit? 1t was,
without doubt, a plaything. Perhaps
it was, during the lifetime of the own
err, only a stuffed rabbit, but it may
have been alive, and. dying soon after
his playmate went away, was preserved
and put upon his grave.
The sculpture, even on the large and
costly monuments, is generally, like
most tombstone sculpture, rather
crude. Here and there is a piece of
work which is really impressive. One
in particular which always attracts
the attention of passers- by at Oak
woods represents q young girl reclin-
ing on pillow, one arm beneath her
head, the other by her side and her
face turned toward the driveway. The
stone is gray granite.-Chicago Times

OTHER STATE NEWS.

WELLINGTON, May 27.-This place is
buzzing with excited curiosity over the
finding of baby in a cyclone cellar
which had been placed there and desert
ed by its mother The baby was found
Saturday and had evidently been there
for two days.
Friday night before last ]. F. Calvert,
who lives near the Fifth ward school
house heard a baby crying piteously, but
at the time thinking that it was baby
in neigh boring family he did not pay
much attention to it. The crying kept
on for quite awhile and Mr. Calvert be-
came uneasy about it. He proceeded to
investigate and ascertained that the cry
ing did not proceed from the home in the
neighborhood in question. Investigation
took the form of a search. He looked
into all the neighbors' houses and prem
ises and could find nothing When he
went in one direction the crying pro-
ceeded from another, and so on until he
was almost worn out. 1t became fainter
and fainter and finally died out alto
gether.
Saturday evening some boys who were
playing went into q cyclone cellar of an
unoccupied house and to their surprise
found a baby in a basket nicely dressed

The baby seemed to be about three
weeks old and was on the point of dying
when the boys found it. It was taken at
once to the nearest house and a congress
of women got around it and as women
only can, revived it and while the baby
Is still very weak it is thought that it
will recover and thus probably save the
mother from going TO the penitentiary
for causing the death Of her child. The
baby will be taken care of by the county
commissioners when it is we'll enough.
There is no end of speculation about
the case. City Marshal Charley Shaw

FOR A NEW BISHOP.

Tomorrow the Episcopal Church of Kan
viii Take Steps to Secure One.
1t is expected that by tomorrow even
ing the new Episcopal bishop of the
diocese of Kansas will have been chosen
by the delegates assembled in special
meeting for that purpose at Grace Ca
thedral in Topeka
The death of Bishop Elias S. Thomas
bereft the church of one of its most
honored mem bers, and it is felt his place
will be hard to fill.
There will be considerably more than
100 delegates present at the meeting, and
they are beginning to arrive this after
noon. Only seventy, however, will be al
lowed to vote in the matter of the choice
of bishop. Delegates from missions
have voice, but no vote. Thirty of the
seventy are clergymen.
The convention will be opened at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning and the great
er part of the forenoon will be devoted
to memorial services for the late bishop.
Right Reverend John Franklin Spauld-
ing, D. D., bishop of Colorado, will de-
liver the address.
This will be followed by the business
preparatory to the election, the examina-
ton of credentials, etc
in the afternoon the convention will
assemble in two orders-the laity and
the clergy. The person who will re-
ceive the election must have a majority
of the votes in each order. He will then
be declared the choice of the delegates
of the Kansas diocese.
And even then he is not ready for con-
frmation. His name will be sent to
every diocese in the church and must be
approved by a majority of the bishops
and of the standing committees.
1t will be two months at least before
all will have been heard from and an in =
disputable conclusion reached.
The election is the only business be :
fore the meeting except that of fixing
salary. Bishop Thomas salary was $4,000
year.
Most prominent among the candidates
for the place are Bishop Leonard, who
is now the missionary bishop of Utah
and Montana, and Dean Charles Gardi-
ner of Omaha.
Rev. ]. S Won Herlich of Wichita and
Rev John D. Hewitt of Lincoln are also
mentioned.
The candidate who seems to be looked
upon with the most favor, however, and
that Topeka is most interested in is the
Very Reverend F. r Millspaugh, dean
of Grace Cathedral

ly the chair was instructed to invite Mr..

the back and down the breeches," and
others thought Eugene Y. Debs was
equally as good a ripper"
1t was moved to reconsider the action
of the convention in instructing the
chairman to invite Bryan. The motion
was supported by Webb Pyle because
Bryan, though good free silver man,
was not a Populist, but Democrat.
