Honest vs.. Dishonest Advertising

A pleasant feature of the advertis-
ing put forth by the Royal Baking
Powder Company frequently COM
rnented upon by consumers, is the
absolute confidence that may be had
in the truthfulness of all its claims
and statements. There is evidently
the same care and accuracy in the
framing of the ROYAL advertisements
that there is in the compromising Of
the Royal powder.
1t appears, unfortunately, that not
all baking powder people ;-e SO
scrupulously careful. The recent
letter from the Judge OF Awards on
Baking Powders at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, exposing the falsity of
the claim of another house tina. its
baking powder had received the
highest award for strength, purity;
excellence, etc., is a scatEing rebuke
to those manufacturers Of inferior
baking powders who have no re-
gard tor the Truth, but habitually
seek, in their public announcements
to deceive consumers. The Judge
OF Awards states that no such award
was given to the c0nct N in ques-
ton, and has notified it lat it must
cease publishing its name in con-
nection with its false statements.

FAURE RETURNS TO PARIS.
ENORMOUS CROWDS GREET
THE PRESIDENT.
A Bomb Exploded in Front of a
Church Only a Few Moments
After the Executive Passed.

PARIS, Aug. 31.-President Faure ar
rived at the Northern Railroad sta
ton from Dunkirk at o'clock this
evening. He was received there by the
President of the Chamber of Deputies,
M. Brisson; the President of the SEN
ate, NJ Loubet; the General in com
mand of the Paris garrison and his
staff, and the Municipal Councillors.
After listening to short speeches of
welcome, the President entered
landau and proceeded to Elysee Palace
by way of the Due Lafayette, the
Madeleine and the Place de la Con-
corde. Enormous crowds of people
greeted the President The bal
comics were filled with spectators, and
the waving of handkerchiefs and flags
was to be seen on all sides.
Three minutes after the President
had passed the Madeleine a bomb was
exploded inside the railing around the
church. Pandemonium followed imme-
diately, and the rail was closed by
the police who began an active in
vestigation into the outrage. Nobody
was injured by the explosion, but the
affair, following so closely upon others
of a similar nature, caused the greatest
excitement. The persons inside the
railings were minutely examined by the
police before they were allowed to
leave.
The fragments of the bomb found by
the police resemble those found in the
Bois de Bologne on June 30th last and
on the Place de la Concorde on June
10th last. It consisted of an iron tube
filled with an explosive, and loaded
with nails.
When President Faure left Paris for
Dunkirl1 on his way TO Russia on Au-
gust 18th, a scene of great excitement
followed ten minutes after his depart
ure, and while the crowds were return
ing along the route followed by the
President a bomb exploded at the
Boulevard Magenta and the Rue La
fayette, in front of the Restaurant Du-
val Scraps of paper We're found about
the scene of this explosion, inscribed
"Vive la Liberty and ''Vive la,
Plonge," seemingly pointing to the
fact that the author of the explosion
of August 18th was the same individual
who caused the explosion in the Bois
de Boulogne and on the Place de la
Concorde. NJ. Girard. the Director of
the Municipal Laboratory, who exam
ined the remnants Of the bomb, said
he regarded it as a serious attempt
upon the part of militant anarchist
The bomb was properly constructed,
and would have caused great damage,
but that the tube was cracked.

Governor O'FerraH talks with great
plainness as to his present position and
his future action. He announces his
determination not to support, under
present conditions, the Democratic
State ticket recently nominated at the
Roanoke convention, and gives his
reasons for this decision. He criticises
in emphatic language the conduct of
the leaders at that convention for in
dorsing the Chicago platform, and also
pays his respects to the free silver
Democrats, who have made him tar
get of abuse, claiming that they have
taken advantage of his position, know
ing that ne could not answer them, and
charging them with attempting to seek
notoriety through hurting epithets at
him He reiterates his charge that

was running for Governor against him,

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.
Disgraceful Row During the Morn
ing Session of the Convention.

READING, Aug. 31.-The Democratic
State Convention met in this CITY to-
day and nominated Walter E. Ritter Of
Lycoming County for Auditor General
and NJ. E. Brown of Blairsville for State
Treasurer
The matter of the selection of candi-
dates was entirely overshadowed by the
fight to force the retirement of Mr. Har-
rity from the National Committee. The
opponents of Mr. Harrity succeeded in
pushing through, by vote of 300 to 1874,
a resolution indorsing James M. Guffee
for his position.
Mr.. Harrity's friends contend that the
clare his seat in the National Commit
tee vacant, and that he will not sur
render without a fight.
The morning session of the convention
ended with a disgracefuI row, during
which some delegates who did not like
the way things were going, climbed up
on khe stage and exchanged blows. A
large detachment of police was on hand
in the afternoon, and everything was Sc
rene.
Following is the money plank in the
platform adopted:
eve, the Democrats of Pennsylvania
in convention assembled, heartily reaf-
firm and reiterate the principles of the
Democratic party expressed in the plat
form adopted by the National Conven-
ton at Chicago in 1896, and approved by
6,500,000 free and independent voters.
We are firmly and unalterably opposed
to the single gold standard, which has
been the direct cause of the financial
distress that has followed upon our
people since its adoption, and we are
in favor of an immediate return to our
original specie basis as it existed prior
to the decentralization Act of 1873.
1--WE congratulate William J. Bryan
for the glorious championship of a
righteous cause. and for his mastery
leadership in support of these princi-
pies"
1t was stated late tonight that Mr..
Ritter. the nominee for Auditor-Gen-
eral has telegraphed Chairman Gar

scious for three hours. She had been
suffering for several years but not Sc
riously until May or June last. During
the last few days it was apparent that
the end was not far off. Yesterday,
however, Mrs. Drew seemed much bet
ter than for several days previous. This
morning she seemed in good spirits, and
chatted with those about her Mrs.
Drew soon afterwards became uncon-
scious. She lay in that condition un-
til about seven minutes of three, when
she was taken with convulsions, which
lasted until the end came at o'clock.
With the passing of Mrs. John Drew
there has departed one of the few links
that unite the present generation with
the grandest galaxy that has ever IL
Illuminated the American dramatic fir
mament. She was contemporaneou
and appeared upon the stage in the
leading parts with the elder Booth
and Forrest with MacCready and Ed
win Booth, with Florence, Clarke and
Owen, all of whom have passed, and
with Jefferson and Couldock, who still
survive. She was in her day an in
fant prodigy" on the English and
American boards, and the most fam
Gus of Mrs. Malaprops, winning laurels
as Julia De Mortimer Ophelia, Des-
demona and Pauline, not to mention
characters in more recently written
plays. With practically no education
in the accepted sense, she was an act
ress of rare intelligence and refinement.
Mrs. Drew was born in London on
January 10, 1920, and seven years
later made her stage debut as Agib in
''Timour the Tartar" At the age Of
she was brought to America by her
mother, an actress, and in the old Wal
nut-street Theater, Philadelphia, she
played the Duke of York to Junius Bru-
tus Booths Richard III. At this time
she was known as Louisa Lane. In
1888, she Joined the stock company at
the BOWery Theater in New York re-
naming there five years, playing a
long list of characters in the so-called
legitimate drama. Then she returned
to Philadelphia, and to the Walnut
street Theater, soon after becoming the
wife of Henry Hunt, a popular vocalist
of his day. She separated from him
IN 1917, subsequently marrying an
Irish comedian named Mossup who
died year or two later. She married
John Drew in 1850 Meanwhile she
had been playing at the principal the
aters in New York and elsewhere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Drew were subsequent
ly connected in managerial way with
the Arch and National Theaters in
Philadelphia. In recent years Mrs.
Drew's most notable work was in the
character of Mrs. Malaprop, in the COM
pany which included Messrs Jefferson,
Florence and Couldock. Her last en-
gagement was in the company playing
