Perfection In Cake-Making.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why It is that
they cannot make biscuit and cake that are light
and palatabe and that taste as delicious as the
biscuit and cake made by their mothers and
grandmothers, the delightful memory Of which
to this day creates a sensation of pleasure to the
palate. The trouble arises from the highly adul.
terated state of the materials they have to work
with, particularly the cream of tartar and soda
used to raise or leaven the food, Of tartar
purposes contain large quantities of lime, earth,
alum and other adulterants, frequently from five
TO twenty five per cent, and consequently vary so
much in strength that no person can tell the ex-
act quantity to use, or properly combine them, to
insure perfect results. From using too much or
too little, or because of the adulterauts in them,
bitter salt, yellow, or heavy biscuits cakes are
frequently made, These adulterants are also in
furious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by the use of
the popular Royal Baking Powder. Where this
preparation is employed in the place of cream
Of tartar and soda ITS perfect leavening power
always insures light, tiaky, digestible biscuit,
cakes and pastry, that are perfectly wholesome
and free from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are employed.
The Royal Baking Powder. we are informed by
the most reliable scientists is perfectly pure, be-
ing made from highly refined ingredients, care
fully tested, and so exactly proportoned and
combined that il never fails TO produce the best
and uniform results. An additional advantage
in its employment comes from the fact that bread
or other food made with it may be eaten while
hot without fear OF indigestion or any unpleasant
results, while being equally sweet, moist and
grateful to the palate when cold.

MUSEUM MANAGER SKlPS.
Leaves a Number of Creditors to Be-
wall His Disappearance.

Harry Austin, proprietor of the Pal
ace museum ON LackaWanna avenue
has skipped The skipping is not the
main point, however; he left behind
him his freaks, soubretteS and play ac-
tors without sou and with nothing by
which to remember their employer eX-
cepting what he owes them.
Austin took with him his Wife, some
scenery and other stage stuff and all
the meagre receipts of the Week, in
Guiding the dimes of a Saturday night
audience. He owed, not only his per-
formers, but a board bill for himself
and wife and sundry small claims of
carpenters electricians and the like.
The museum managers route of de-
parture is unknown. A warrant for his
arrest for jumping a board bill has been
issued by Alderman M1llar on complaint
of Proprietor Van Sickle of reStaur,
ant near the erstWhile museum.
Among the defrauded performer
creditors are Billy Wells, a strong
man with Police Gazette medals whose
wife is seriously i'll; a three-legged
woman who has but two legs; Mrs. Hill,
the proud owner of a sad lot of stuffed

squeaky voice was wont to sing ballads

he was striken with apopleXy, death

PRISONER ESCAPES
FROM THE JAIL
William Wall, Chicken Thief, Makes a
Successful Break for Liberty.
BUILT HIMSELF A CURIOUS LADDER
He Was IA "Trusty" and Took ADJ
vantage of the Consideration
Shown Him--Built the Ladder by
Pieccmeal in the Hayloft of the
Jail Barn--Escaped Under Cover
Not Yet Captured.

William Wall, prisoner at the coun-
ty Jail, made his escape from that in
stitution during the first shades of
darkness on Saturday night. He was
sentenced for nine months on October
II for chicken stealing.
Wall was what is known to Jail Off
cials as a "trusty," /. e., prisoner al
lowed certain freedom within the Jail
walls. 1t was only because he was q
"trusty" that he found means of gain
ing his freedom.
Connected with Wallis flight there
were no romantic, daring or soul-stir-
ring details. The only point of inter-
est was his ingenuity in constructing
by piecemeal ladder with which he
scaled the Jail wall, twenty-five feet
in heighth.
Up to a late hour he had not been cap
tured, although Warden Simpson, Dep
uty Warden Price and several keepers
and the Scranton police began a hunt
for him less than a half hour after his
disappearance. Sheriff Clemons be-
lives his capture is only Il question of
hours. He has offered for his arrest
500 reward, and $50 for information
that will lead to his recovery.
" All is ueScTliDtu DIS d SLOW -Wllteu
fellow, a sort of clod, and not a pris-
oner who would be suspected of having
either the wit or the nerve to make
a break for freedom. On that account
and because of certain amount of
sympathy for him he was assigned the
duty of caring for Deputy Warden
Prices horse, which is kept in a stable
built by Sheriff Fahey in the Jail yard.
on Saturday afternoon at $50 o'clock,
as was customary, the door leading
from one of the offices into the jail yard
was unlocked and Wall was let out.
He shuffled off at his usual gait toward
the barn, where he was expected to
feed and water the horse and prepare
him for the night.
Twenty minutes passed and Wall had
not returned. A search of the stable
and yard failed to reveal him and the
alarm was given the warden and keep
ers. Then was discovered the means
of the "trusty's' escape.
Leaning against the west wall at the
rear of the jail's main structure was a
ladder that was fearfully and wonder
fully made. Its sides We're too slender
beech wood poles that had been used
for supporting clothes lines in the yard.

person told his story. Then Patrolman
Karins told his. one charge against

while decidedly under the influence he
entered the resort kept by Nellie BLY,
on Raymont court and proceeded to

the charge against him, and subscribed
to by the patrolman was on the police

cd with him to no avail and then took
him to the central station for an OPP
portunity to think about it. Iie re-
sponded to Mayor Bailey's request tq

and varieties bound to the sides with
scrap-iron or wire nails that had fast
ened the bales of hay delivered to the
jail barn. Suspended from the topmost
rung and reaching to the ground on
the opposite side of the wall was a pair
of strong reins taken from harness.
The curious apparatus told the story.
Wall had evidently been many days at
work on the ladder. He is thought to
have built it by piecemeal in the hay
loft, and probably hid it beneath the
hay as it's construction progressed. His
use of it was not detected in the dark
ness.
His house is at Forty Fort and he has
relatives at Tunkhannock, where a year
ago relative of his was hanged for
murder. Both these localities are be!
ing closely watched.
This description is given of Wall by
Sheriff Clemons: Dark, fiOrid complex
ion; 46 years old; gray eyes and hair;
. feet inches in heighth; weight, 141
pounds; farm hand by occupation;
sunAen cheeks; fiat nose; has a nasal
twang and peculiar Yankee form of
speech; wore a blue striped blouse, blue
overalls, jean trousers, rough flannel
shirt and black slouch hat.

BULLETS IN THE EYE.
Serious Accid lent to Edward Phillips.
I2-Hear-Old OIyphant Boy,

Edward Phillips, a 12-year-old boy
whose home is at Olyphant, was re-
ceived at the Lackawanna hospital Sat
urday.
Young Phillips was shooting with a
fiobert rifle and a cartridge fastened it
self in the barrel. He put in another
to dislodge the first and was pounding
the rifle on the floor when it was dis
charged.
Both bullets are thought to have en-
tered the head at the left eye, but that
organ is now so swollen that it is i'm
possible to ascertain its condition. 1t
is not known at his time whether OF
not the wounds are fatal.
