SHUT A FOLDING BED.

DR.. Edward Il. Duffy, is litl mar,
who has grown old in his practice
around the neighborhood, and differ
from most of his neghbors. in that he
is republican. Sometimes he fancies
that the Tammany men of the neigh
borhood are playing jokes on him.
DR.. Duffy has got so we'll along in
years that he mas given up most of b 8
night work and when some one kr ed
violently at his door about 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning be was disgusteG.
His wife had heard the noise at the
door and had already gone to the win
dow.
She reported to him that some one
wanted him to come down to 233 west
Sixty-frst street and attendto woman
who was shut up in folding bed
Then the doctor himself went to the
window and looked out.
he saw a tall, burly man, whose
gruff voice soon reiterated the demand
for aid. The doctor said that he could
not attend to any more night calls, for
be bad given up that sort Of work.
II tell you Dan Gallagher's wife had
the bed fall up on her, and the folks
from Roosevelt Hospital sent me to you
to come down and see her."
Il don't go out on night calls any
more,n repeated the doctor.
''If you don't come I'll fix yez so you
wont never answer no call, night or
day." was the reply he says he got.
You just wait two seconds and I'll
show you about that" cried the doctor,
who is a fighting man himself when
here is need. He pulled on his coat,
seized stick and ran TO the door. But
his opponent had fled. The doctor went
tack to bed.
There are no Gallaghers at 233 west
Sixty-6rst street, but Dan Gallagher
and his wife live at 236. Dan is a
butcher.
Mr.. Gallagher buried his mother-in-
'aw Saturday afternoon and the family
were not seeing strangers Wednesday
But the neighbors say the folding bed
story was all true. They say the bed
shut up at o'clock in the morning and
that Mrs. Gallagher was severely cut
on the forehead.
''One o. thin instalment beds" the
neigtbor called it. Her family released
her and man ran to Roosevelt Hos
ptal for doctor, but was told to call
on some physician in the neighborhood.

ANOTHER JASPER APPEARS Tie
Rev. John Jasper, the famous colored
preacher of Richmond, who maintains
that "the sun do move" has formid.
able rival for the fame in the person OF
the Rev. W. W. Wilson, pastor Of the
Savageville African Methodist Church,
near Onaucock. For the past week
the colored Methodists of that vicinity
have been holding bush meeting in q
grove near there, and every night q
large crowd has assembled to engage in
the services, or see what was going on.
The great event of the meeting was q
sermon from the Savageville preacher,
which was duly advertised by notices
conspicuously posted in various parts
of the town and the surrounding ooun-
try, announcing that "the Rev. W. w.
Wilson, d. D. pastor of the Savageville
Church, would preach his famous SER
mon on the sum-" A big crowd assem-
bled, including many white persons,
eager to near hear what the preacher
would say on the subject. He took as bis
text the passage of Scripture in which
Joshua commands the sun to stand
still, and in vigor of utterance and
originality of ideas, he far surpassed
the expectation of all who heard him.
He pitched into the Copernicau sys-
tenn of the universe with much vigor,
quoting passage after passage from the
Bible, to show that the inspire writers
of that book had no such conception of
the movements of the heavenly bodies
as is now held by skeptical philoso-
pliers and their followers. Next to
Joshua's command to the sun, the pas
sage which seemed most to move the
audience and inspire the preacher in
his attack upon the Copernican system
was that which speaks of the winds
blowing from the four corners of the
earth. In discussing this passage, he
triumphantly appealed to his hearers
to say when they ever heard OF
round ball that had one corner, much
less four.
The sermon created a profound i'm
preston, and movement is on foot to
induce the Savageville preacher to re
peat it for the benefit of those who did
not hear it.

THE prospect of having Fort Macki-
nae made military station again will
be gratifying to all who know the his
toric little island. 1t is one of the
characteristic points of the Northwest.
and the old fort ought to be kept up.
Those who have ever been to
Mackinac Island will be glad to learn
that there is a prospect of having the
old fort and grounds again under gov
eminent care. It will make the great
summer resort still more Interesting,
and add another attraction to very
attractive place.

Perfection in Cake Making

Housekeepers frequently wonder why
it is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light and palatable and
that taste as delicious as the biscuit
and cake made by their mothers and
grandmothers, the delightful memory
of which even to this day creates a
sensation of pleasure to the palate.
The trouble arises from the highly
adulterated state of the materials they
have to work with, particularly the
cream of-tartar and soda used to
raise or leaven the food. Cream Of
tartar and soda that are now procur-
able for domestic purposes contain
large quantities of lime, earth, alum
and other adulterants, frequently from
five to twenty-five per cent, and con-
sequently vary so much in strength
that no person can tell the exact guam
tity to use, or properly combine them,
to insure perfect results From using
too much or too little, or because OF
the adulterants in them, bitter, salt,
yellow or heavy biscuits or cake are
frequently made. These adulterants
are also injurious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided Dy
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, faky, di-
gestible biscuit, cakes and pastry, that
are wholesome and free from the i'm
purities invariably present when the
old raising preparations are employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are
informed by the most reliable scientists,
is perfectly pure; being made from
highly refined ingredients, carefully
tested, and so exactly proportioned
and combined that it never fails to
produce the best and uniform results.
Another advantage in it's 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.

WILLIAM OWEN COMING.
The Well Known Shakespearean Player
Here Next Week

Kenosha has been on tip toe of ex-
pectation, one might say, for weeks,
almost since last fall, when at the be-
ginning of the season Manager Rhode
of the opera house announced that the
William Owen company had been Sc
cured for return engagement here.
Today he received assurances that the
company would be here all next week.
The company has just closed a sue
cessful season in New Jersey and Mr.
Rhode has been compelled to advance
the entire expenses Of the company in
coming here from that state, which
amounts to nearly $3.50 in order to get
an engagement.
The company comes this year with
an especially strong repertoire. There
are several different plays in it
than those seen here last year. The
repertoire this trip includes Romeo
and Juliet" Merchant of Venice"
" Louis l, y" Iago, y" Lady ofLyons,
" Much Ado About Nothing" Ham
let" and Richelieu." The company
is .just about the same as that of last
year, with the exception of the addi-
tiOn of Miss Rose Eytinge. 1t will all
be very strong.

Two 4th of July jewellers whom the
refreshing sleep of night had not sue
ceeded in bringing back to their normal
state got into mix up right in the
doorway of the Gazette office this
morning. In very few moments the
men were in the midst of a tooth and
nail fight. The editor who was busilY
pushing his scissors in the interior
became wroth at the idea of so brutal a
combat in the front door of his sanctum
and forthwith betook himself, scissors
in hand, to the scene of the fray. He
threw both arms affectionately round
the first man who came within reach,
and logged and hauled and blOwedand
sweat until his curls resembled seaWeed
but all to no purpose. Finally help
came and the punchers were parted.
But they came together again very
soon and one of them began so fearful
an attack with his teeth that when they
we're finally parted the other mans face
was covered with the marks of mOlars.

THE c. o. F. CELEBRATION.
A Big Crowd Present and Good Time
Enjoyed

huJOyEQ.
Washington Island had the largest
crowd of any place in town Monday.
The main attraction at that point was
the picnic by the Z. O. F. The Dan
ish M. E. church and German Luth-
Grams also had a picnic on the island.
The parade was only about one
fourth the size expected. 1t was under
the direction of the G. 0. F. The
following was the order of march;
Ten mounted men.
Sterling band of sixteen pieces.
ST. Aloysius cadets and zouaves.
Deutcher Krieger Kammeradschaft.
Catholic Order of Foresters.
They marched about town and then
to the island where stands had been
fixed up for all kinds of refreshments,
dance platform and whaleback
merry Ground, and games of all
kinds which held the crowd all day
and made the picnic a grand success
financially. Many who were there
estimated the crowd as the largest
ever seen on the island. The c. O. f.
are to be congratulated as they carried
out their part of the morning parade
and took the crowd with them to the
island, and were deserving of the
success they attained.

The people have noticed, and the
newspaper accounts verify, the fact
that there has been a change come
over the Fourth Of July orator. He is
no longer the man who can pull the
eagles tail the hardest to make him
scream the loudest. He is no longer a
great exulter, bent only upon the glori-
fication of the union. He has become
more pessimistic. In nearly all the
great efforts made throughout the
country to crate on the nations birth
day this year there was a marked ten
dency shown to warn the people against
sundry evils which have grown or may
grow out of our social relations. This
fact marks new era, for which the re-
cent depressed condition of the country
may have been more or less respon-
sible Whatever the cause, it is a
healthier condition and one to be en-
couraged. With those who seem to
think that the country is going TO the
demnition bow-wows none of us has
much sympathy, but those who believe
and declare that everything which has
been allowed to spring up under our
institutions is good and if not wholly
good will correct itself are by far a
more dangerous class of citizens, though
unconsciously so. Evils grow like
weeds under the most favorable govern
ments, and the man who checks the
desire of the people to overlook them
is not only friend of his government.
and country, but of progress. The
tendency to be more pessimistic is a
good enc and should be encouraged.

THE wool schedules of the senate
tariff bill have, like nearly all of the
other changes made by the finance
committee, yielded to popular senti-
ment, and the schedules of first and
second class woods are to be brought
back to within one cent per pound of
the rates named by the House bill. 1t
is PROBABLE that the conference COM
mittee will fully restore the House
rates on wool and sugar, and that the
bill will become law within a fort
night.
