Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of Dr. Price's, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have "good luck" in mak
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con
tains the white of eggs.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
' ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the
purity of this ideal powder has never been ques-
tioned.

CnrcA-jo, August 7, Several
months ago, in a suit brought by
I'roctor & Gamble against a large
number of railroads, the inter
state commerce commission de
cided that railroad companies
must carry freight at its actual
weight without charging for the
boxes or packages in which it is
put np for shipment. At the time
it was pointed out that shippers of
other articles might with equal
right demand that they also be
given the benefit of net weights.
The first demand of this character
has been made. The manufactur
ers of gunpowder are insisting
that their freight Bball be charged
for at only net weight. Incase
the railroads refuse the demand
the matter will probably be taken
before the interstate commerce
commission, and all classes of
trade will iollow the demand of
the powder shippers.

"The tines change and we are
changed with them," said the
Roman philosopher. It may also
be said that these changes are not
always for the better, but often
bring retrogression and decay ; and
this is particularly true of the
circus of to-day. In fact since the
great ring-master, death, gave
Adam Forepaugh his final cue, it
may be remarked that but one
really great and legitimate circus
remains, that of Bells Brothers,
which is to exhibit at Albany,
on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1891. Th.
onlv other tented enterprU
which can claim to rival it has
started out on the questionable ,

brought him back on Saturday
evening, and father and eon were
both put into the county jail
here. Two others were arrested
in Ashland, whose names are . R.
Coon, and Fay Coon, but these
two young men escaped sunaay
night. It is generally, supposed
that the Coon brothers are the
ringleaders in the counterfeiting
business and that the Nutt family
have been led into the trouble
through ignorance of the risk they
were running. Sheriff Moss,
accompanied by young Nutt, went
out on Sunday to a point at the
foot of Hayet hill, about eighteen
miles from this city and dug up a
lot of dies and material used in
making a very poor comnterfeit
$5 piece of 1881. A lot of stuff
supposed to he babit metal lies
in the express office here, directed
to Younr Nutt. C. O. D.. with $20
charges on it. Alonze Nutt save
that the Coon boys came to his
house some three months ago and
engaged board; that he knaw
nothing of their counterfeiting
business, and that his complicity
in the matter is due to spite work
on the part of the Coons, in con
sequence of having been rebuffed
by one of Mutt's daughters.
oung Nutt, howevr, has been
led into the very depths of the
bogus money manufacturing, and
the stuff has been found in his
possession.

Three thousand dollars for an
old tin roof would be a pretty
stesp price, but the mxn who gets
the battered roof from the old
Tabernacle Church at Broad
street and South Penn square,
which is now being torn away,
for that sum will be in great luck.
Some years ago the paint was
scraped off the old rof and yield
ed $5000 iu fine gold. It is almost
as certain to yield as much this
time. The gold comes trem the
mint.
When eold is being coined a
considerable quantity of it vol-
atalizes with the smoke through
the chimney, and as soon as it
strikes the air it falls. " Much of
it strikes the roof of the mint ; so
much of it that the officials save
oven the water that fal's upon it
during a shower. All the drains
from the roof are connected wuh
large vats in the cellar cf the
Mint. Before the water hnailv
gets into the sewer it n strained
through many blankets and sieves,
which retain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these pre
cautions, the gold that is annually
washed into the Delaware lrom
the Mint is worth thousands of
dollars. Every particle of dirt
swept up about the Mint is care
fully stored away witn the wash
ings from the roof, and once every
year it is sold to the highest bid
der, aa it cannot be used at the
Mint. Philadelphia Kecord.

Oregon has heretofore been, con
sidered free from electrical dis
plays of all kinds from the clouds,
and especially any that brought
danger with them. But that he
me must be abandoned in a
measure at least. The recent
display of the artillery of the skies
suggests that even in the Wil
liamette valley the thunders may
roll and the lightnings flash.
Take for instance the displays at
Salem during the last storms. The
Journal says: "At about the
third clap of thunder at 4 p. m. a
bolt struck in tha vicinity ot the
Capital engine house. No ono was
in the building but Capt. Price
who saw a flash in the engine
house that made all light as only
an electric light can, and a report
'ike a musket was teard. the
round was loud enough to be heard
n Commercial street and over on
lieb. The flash burned out all
the electrical connections and
magnets except the fire alarms
from the woolen mills and canning
wors. lbe hash turned the
horses loose and set all alaams
and gongs going. The blaze seem
ed to cover the off horse and
both animals were plunging about
like mad. It was two hours be
fore the animals could be coaxed
into their stalls. Engineer Walt
Holman has a good job restoring
the circuits. Quite a large crowd
assembled immediatlv after the
electric explosin, which was one
of the events of the storm."
AgalBtt tlio Louisiana Lottery.
Nkw Orleans, August 7. The
conference between the farmers'
alliance and the an'i-lottcry dem
ocrats at Lafayette has resulted in
an agreement by which a joint
ticket will be nominated. The
farmers' alliance will name the
governor, treasurer and superin
tendent of public education, and
the anti-lottery league the lieuten
ant governor, auditor, attorney
general and secretary cf state.
These nominations are to bo made
by a convention elected by all who
were opposed to the lottery and
afterwards submitted to the demo
cratic state convention. The alli
ance indorsed this agreement and
at once nominated T. S. Adams
president and state commissioner
of agriculture. The campaign
will be made almost altogether on

Philadelphia, Aug. 7. Ciaus
Sprockets to-day raised the price
of granulated sugar to the old fig
ure, 4 1-16 cents, after having the
market all his own way for two
days and unloading, as the brokers
think, about 150,000 barrels of his
surplus stock. The activity in
duced by the cut showed a percep
itable falling off when the price
was raised, but the market was
strong, and at one time it was pre
dicted that sugar might go up to
4 cents. The advance to the old
figure has effectually silenced all
rnaaors of a combination with the
New York trust, and it is now ac
cepted that the cut was made
solely on account of the overproduction.
ATROCIOUS CRIMES.
"Jack the Ripper", is Again at
Work.
AX AOID LADT SLASHED,
No Clse to tha Aiitaiia-H Was s
Tall, Btout Maa-Thi Victim
Will Dls.
London, August 7. A mysteri
ous crime which came to light to
day has created widespread
excitement. One occurred in the
Whitechapel district and its gen
eral similarity to "Jack the
Ripper's" crime, coupled with the
locality, have revived all the ter
ror connected with the former
butcheries. In this instance the
victim was a respectable woman
named Catherine Wolder, seventy
years old, who was attacked late
last night while walking in Cannon
street, St. George. The assailant
was a t-11, stout man, apparently
about 30 years of age. He
aaHaulted her most vigorously
with a knife, cutting her throat
and slashing her arms, which she
raised to defend herself, in a
frightful manner. The man, ter
rified perb ips by her cries, or de
terred by her strong resistance,
then escaimd, leaving the unfortu
nate woman in the roadway. She
was removed to a hospital where,
it was said, she would scarcely
survive her injuries.
Another crime occurred on a
railway train. When tie train
from ieeds arrived at Bedford
this morning the railway guards
were horrified at the discovery in
a first-class carriage of a young
woman who was shot in the lett
breast. She was still alive but
was unable to give an account,
owing to her weakness, or give
any explanation concerning the
tragedy. 1 he revolver with which
she had evidently been shot was
not found, but a bloody razor was
discovered lying on the floor of
the compartment. The whole
affair is wrapped in absolute mys
tery, and should the victim die
belore she is able to furnish a clue
it will be extremely difficult to
trace the assailant.
DISGRACEFUL SCANDAL.
It Leads to a Vlgllsata'a Visit aad
a Divorce.
Bavhgad, N. J., Aug. 7. The
people here eageily discussed the
facte yesterday connected with the
punishment of John Clayton by
vigilantes, because he had been
to j friendly with the pretty young
wife of John Parker, who lives
across Barnegatehy, on Metede
conk point. Clayton was ducked
in the bay and flogged and then
Mrs. Parker and Clayton disap
peared. It was rumored that the
couple bad gone away together.
Ihev started in a carriage in the
direction of Hightstown early last
evening. Clayton came originally
from Hightstown. Mr. farker
has gone back to his home on
Metedeconk Point. He has secur
ed the services of one of the well
known lawyers of Tom's Piver and
instructed to institute proceedings
for an absolute divorce. Mrs, Par
ker is an unusually pretty woman
aad Clayton, who is nearly ten
years her junior, became deeply
infatuated with her the hrst time
he saw her, about a month ago,
when he came bete to spend the
summer. The couple were to
gether day and night, and two
weeeks aco Parker drove his wue
out of his bouse, and closed it ap.
Mrs. Parker and Clayton have
since, it is alleged, been together
on yachts in the bay, and in cot
tages not occupied by their owners.
Their actions led to the punish
ment inflicted on Clayton by the
gang of vigilantes organized by the
villagers and summer cottagers.

Waat Lower Fralajnt Katos.
San Fkancisco, Aug. 7. Owing
to their inability to obtain lower
rates on freight to the East, the
dried fruit men, produce men and
canned goods men are forming a
merchant s popular demonstration
club, the object of which will be to
hold popular meetings throughout
the state to protest against dis
crimination, and take combined
action tending to secure rates pro
portionately as low as those given
to fruit men and others in the East.
The movement is decidedly due to
the failure of the potato men to
get a 60 cent rate, or a 30 cent re
duction on potatoes to points west
of the Missouri river.
