If some grocers urge another baking powder upon you, it is because of the greater profit upon it. This of itself is evidence of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be -made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most wholesome food, be sure that no substitute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you.

THAT LETTER TO WARREN. Author Says He Had No Knowledge Thai It Would be Misused. Probably no two men in Boston are more surprised at the publicity which has come to them because of their pro fessional dealings with Mrs Cushing, who is figuring so prominently in cony nection with the police investigation. than Henry P.

Kennedy and William P. Chadwick, who are partners at 47 Court et. In her testimony before the police commissioners Mrs Cushing stated that she had received a letter of introductiot to Capt Warren from Mr Kennedy, and the impression was conveyed that was for the purpose of influencing thi captain in favor of allowing her to cam on an illegal business. The two gentlemen are very strong it their statements. however, that thet knew nothing whatever of the business which Mrs Cushing now admits she wag carrying on.

and that not until the mat- ter became public were they aware that the letter written by Mr Kennedy to Capt Warren could be by any means taken as a supposed aid to her carrying on any improper business. Mr Kennedy does not attempt to dens that be gave Mrs Cushing the letter, but he very emphatically demurs to any statement that he was in any way cog' nizant of the intentions which Mrs Cushing now says She had in going te see Capt Warren. Mr Kennedy says that so far as be it concerned he has nothing to conceal in the matter, as he wrote the letter in the ordinary course of business and without any knowledge that it was to be nsed for the purpose now claimed by Mrs Cushing. He and his partner wera in the habit of transacting business o4 a legal character for Mrs Cushing fol some months previous to the writing og the letter, the principal portion of ill being transacted by Mr Chadwick, whd is in the office more regularly than Mil Kennedy.

quartet Will Fight to the End Under Present Conditions. WASHLNGTON, Aug 4The Louisiana delegation Wu: unexpectedly the work of the tariff conference by entering an emphatic protest against the broposed sugar schedule, as made -public in the dispatches of yesterday. Mr Cafrery was very indignant this morning, and held an energetic interview with 31r Jones, in which he denounced the schedule as being especially antagonistic to the sugar growers. He still urged that the bounty be paid on the crop of 1894. but this the conferees refuse to agree to do.

Mr Caffery declares that the delega, tion from his state will not support the proposed schedule. What concerns the conference more than the individual opposition of Messrs Caffery and Blanchard is the combination they have been able to make with the populists. Messrs Allen and Kyle. These four. according to rumor, which Is accompanied by much detail, declares that the populist senators, looking Out for the interest of the beet sugar growers, have agreed that they will join Messrs Catterey and Blanchard in voting against the bill if the proposed schedule la retained.

Both the house and the senate struck the bounty out and the conferees say they are not making a new bill, only settling differences and the dierences between the two houses is simply one of rates. All the other items in the bill have ben gone over, and the conferees know just what they will do when they get sugar in a satisfactory shape. REPRESENTS HAWAIrS EX QUEEN.

SOLID SILVER BEARING INITIAL "Ss" Capt Shaw Happily Remembered by His "Comrades and Coworkers" of the State Police. "Capt Shaw, you're wanted in the chief's office," said a messenger this noon to the new deputy fire The captain put down his pen with a weary look, for it was the 10th time he had been interrupted in as many minutes, and went over to the office of chief Wade of the state district police. Assembled found the table in the private office were about 20 members of the district police.

and all were admiring a magnificent silver service, with solid silver tea and table spoons bearing the letter Chief Wade. in happy and well-chosen words. presented the plate to Capt Jos. E. Shaw.

for the service was intended as a souvenir to the captain from his comrades and coworkers of the state police. The present was so unexpected, and it all came so suddenly, that the modest recipient was for a moment at a loss what to say. He soon found words, however, to thank them all and tell them of the regret he had in parting with them, and that if any of them should ever be in need of a friend they would find one in him. Isaac S. Mu liens, on behalf of his comrades, closed -the exercises" with an address to Capt Shaw.

UNDER THE ROSE. There is a young newspaper man in this city who will not be so obliging as be has beenat least not for the present. He has charge of a department and in his care are the files of, the paper. One day recently a young woman called to look over the files in quest of a song published some months before. She could not find it and the young man gallantly offered his services and promised to search the files the following day.

She gave him her card. and on the back of it he wrote the name of the song she desired. "I Loved You Better Than You Knew." He put the card carelessly in his pocket, and that evening called to see his best girl. In some manner or other he happened to pull out the card and curiosity, which always prompts young people, especially feminina, at the wrong time sometimes, caused his sweetheart to ask what it was. With no thought of any consequences he handed it to her, and after reading the name she glanced at the back That was sufficient for her, for there in his own handwriting wasn't there a confession of his love for another? So she thought, and what more proof did she need than his own handwriting? Expostulations and explanations were not listemed to, and I am told there is a marked coolness manifested now on her part toward the young max.

At a Saratoga hotel In IS73 a suite of rooms cost a man and Ms wife $90 a week. They have the same suite now, but they pay $135 a week. Editor John A. Merrigan of the South Boston News left today for Saratoga, where he will remain for a few weeks. Before returning he will take a trip down the Hudson to New Tork.

Mary Anderson has not only retired from the stage, never to go back again, but she has al3o disappeared from the little world of society which she at one time affected in London. Occasionally theatrical managers seek her out. and the agents of ublishers approach her upon the subject of a book. At intervals complexion experts go to her for an endorsemzet of their nostrums, and nearly all the important associations, composed of women who propo3e to reform one thing or another. In Great Britain have tried to get her to aid them She not only refuses to listen to all these overtures, but is also absolutely inaccesible to the people who call upon her.

One man, who bore a letter from a woman who was formerly a very close friend of Miss Anderson's, and who wished to present an offer from a well-known firm of American publishers, had his letter of introduction returned to him by the servant with regards, and a message to the effect that the proposition was so entirely impossible that it would not be necessary to have a personal interview. Ex Councilman James Marley greeted his friends with an unusually broad smile today. It is a girl, and mother and baby are doing handsomely. A Washington correspondent says Congressman mcEttrick will soon be a member of Tammany if be is not careful. He sits next to Bourke Cockran In the house, and the big New Yorker has a great admirer in the Boston congressman.

Cockran tells what a good thing Tammany is, how 'fine its principles are, and what excellent men it contains. A course of this talk day after day makes an impression, and McEttrick gets the benefit of it all. and is becoming converted to the belief that Tammany, as expounded by' brother Cockran, is not So bad as it is painted.

BEVERLY, Aug 4Every bill board, old building and fence in Beverly was found this morning covered with big red and blue letters spelring the words "City of Beverly." At the entrance of the town on every side are neatly painted signs bearing the same words. Who did it no one knows for sure, bat everybody says Selectman Perry Collier is responsible, and thereby bangs a tale.

Mr Collier, as one of the selectmen, differed with the rbst of the board in regard to the city charter, and worked for it while they opposed it. Last week he ordered some signs painted as above. and before he bad tune to put them up a meeting of the board voted to instruct the superintendent of streets to remove all signs read. ing "City of Beverly" that were up or might be put up. Collier defied them, and now the city is covered with "City of Beverly" signs.

BROOH-LINE. The Holtzer-Cabot electric company of Brookline will close its shops on Monday for two weeks. The shutdown will be made to make necessary repairs and improvements in the equipment. At the end of two weeks the works will start up with the full number of employes. The horse car will soon be no more in Brookline.

Commencing with the first trip this morning electrics were run on all the lines converging in Brookline, except the short line on Longwood av, which has not yet been equipped with electrical apparatus. Cephalonia Sailed with 1014 011 Board. Ham Mothers Predominated Ill the Steens List. Fond Papas Wanted Their Hopefuls Shown. Amusing Expressions Were Heard on all Sides, Much Rivalry as to Places the Tourists Came From.

With 1014 passengers aboard the Cephalonia swung out of her East Boston pier at 11.40 this morning, and started for Queenstown and Liverpool. It is doubtful if the scene of the Cephalonia's departure has ever been equalled in the maritime annals of this City. From almost daylight a steady stream of humanity passed down the pier. Two gangways had been run up to the after deck. and over these the "emigrants" wended their way.

As stated. the total number of record is 1014, but out of this party of pilgrims 870 were in the steerage, and the number of babies of less than 1 year is not given. But these same babies were in evidence every minute Just the same. It seemed as though 90 out of every 100 women who went abroad had a child arms, and in the terse language of a purser: 'Eaven bless my soul, but hi believe hit's the bloomin hinfants what's taking of the ole crowd hover, doncherknow." All of which meant that proud fathers and mothers who bad begun matrimonial life away from the old country were taking advantage of the present cut rates to take "home" samples of "young America." Such expressions addressed to 9- months-old babies by big bearded or mustached as "tell your grandmam it's the picture of herself you are at the same age, and it's America you come from by the grace of God;" "Katerina. nefer you mind der tears, but dell mooder I bring Hans ofer next year bimeby, und don't drop der paby overboard;" "Louise.

I skell think you better make a return pretty quick after you show the baby to the old folks by Sweden." These are actual expressions caught after the big whistle had roared a muffled. beseeching cry to the tardy. Then came the replies in the shape of walls from throats that didn't look larger than the bowl of a pipe, but contained a capacity for noises of an assorted character that made a siren or calliope on a passing steamer die away in disgust. A view along the deck of the Cephalonia just before the advertised starting time was well worth the trip even from suburban cities. The entire rail was framed in tear-begrimed or smiling faces.

The chubby paws of every specimen of infantile humanity under the sun were being waved at a frantic rate by mothers. and husky-throated fathers were giving parting directions and messages from the outermost lines of stringers and barges that were tied up to the wharf. A large proportion of the steerage passengers were booked for Ireland. but the pipe-smoking Briton was scattered among the crowd, so was the voluble Frenchman, with his high-heeled and trimly-dressed wife and daughter. There were a few flat-capped phlegmatic Germans, a slight sprinkling of blonde Swedes and Norwegians, and a fair representation of the genus "Yankee," billygoat beard included.

A noticeable feature was the amount of floral decorations that were forced upon the departing tourists. Sweet peas seemed to be the favorite offering. but there was hardly a specimen from the average country garden that was missing. Another thing was the number of steamer chairs purchased. Every blessed husband who was to be left behind seemed to think at the last moment that a steamer chair would be a necessity, and a couple of enterprising dealers were cleaned out of their stock, and with a whc.op these luxuries were rushed up the gangway to sobbing womankind.

There was considerable rivalry exhibited between different localities as the bell rang out "all ashore." A pretty girl in a blue yachting costume started the ball rolling by calling from the end of the pier; "How many got aboard from Back came the answer from over the stern, "only 15. Maggie." "Maggie" waived a big bine polka-dotted handkerchief. and called back. "Then we beat them by three!" The answering. "You bet," was laconic but defiant.

As the big iron-sided boat slipped out Into the stream there was a general expression of opinion among the thousand or more who were on the pier that Boston need not be ashamed of the delegation going abroad from her shoresnot even excepting the babies. For the first time during the morning the sun broke through the clouds that looked as though they were resting en the gilded dome of the state house, and a half score of American flags were waved and cheered by the crowd of steerage passengers. Simultaneously the stars and stripes were raised on the foremast, and the Cephalonia poked her nose into the main channel and disappeared seaward in a trail of black smoke. WEST ROXRITRY DISTRICT. Thomas Cady was complained of in the district court today for breaking and entering, and was held for trial next Monday.

The 'gait display was noticeably good. particularly those of the peach.

pear and apple. The peaches were considered among the choicest of the season. and indeed could not be looked upon even for a moment without the observer experiencing an affinity being established between himself and the particular peach he then happened to be feasting his eyes uprin.

There was also on exhibition a flue collection of the willianas apple. the samples being taken from the trees of N. W. Chadbourne of Watertown. There were several varieties of tomatoes on the display tables.

any one of which would tempt the strongest will. even to the breaking of a resolution to touch but eat not. The exhibitors were many. The same might be said of the varieties of sweet corn which added color to the table just beyond.

Prospect of an Improved Market for Brokers the Coining Week Late Sales of City and Suburban Property Reported. Some time ago Eben D. Jordan of JosLdan, Marsh Co was heard to remark that in 50 years the great retail streets in Boston would be Boylston st, Massachusetts av and Columbus ay.

When one looks back at the wonderful change in Boylston st in two years it can well be said that half a century may see still more remarkable developments than Mr Jordan indicated in his prophecy. A stroll along this street elicited the information that, with a few exceptions. the buildings are having the fronts removed and stores substituted in their places. Judging from indications it will not be long before this street as far as Berkeley st will be recognized as one of the leading business thoroughfares of Boston. The buildings that have been taken for store purposes at one time were occupied as the residences of some of Boston's wealthiest citizens.

It is not many years since the stores on Boylston st could be counted on one's fingers. Now, however, this could not be accomplished quite so easily. as nearly all the buildings as far as Berkeley at have been converted into business houses. The establishing of business houses on Boylston at is nothing less than a fad, and until this took place what firms there were upon it had their place of business east of Park sq. The tact that some of the most prominent firms in the city have already removed from the portion of Washington.

Tremont and Winter sts and Temple nt to more commodious and convenient stores, goes to show that Boylston Fit is in the future to become one of the foremost business streets in the city. Many of the stores on Boylston at occupy the entire space to Providence st, a depth of about 120 feet. The stores in the rear are built with the -double deck" arrangement, and by this the floor space of the store is increased fully SO percent. North of Massachusetts ay. Boylston St is rapidly changing character.

A street which once boasted as aristocratic residents as any other in the Back Bay, with hardly a store until within a few years. and likewise with plenty of vacant lotsin fact, there was hardly a building west of Dartmouth sthas become now very much of a business street. It is almost entirely such east of Arlington at, and between Arlington st and Cooley sq on the south side the changes that have taken place are remarkable. West of Copley sq the Boylston at boom of two years ago resulted in the sale of most oi the vacant land. except that owned by the Boston Albany railroad on the south side.

and excepting a few cases, the lots are now covered witn elegant apart, went houses. The transformation of Columbus av from a residemial street into a business thoroughfare progresses steadily, if not rapidly. Like Boylston at the avenue is destined to be a prominent business street in years to come, and this will be realized when the number of stores are noted. Between the bridge of the Boston Albany railroad and Park sg Columbus av is lined with stores of various kinds. there being but one lot that is not built upon.

This is a small piece owned by the Boston Providence railroad company. and occupied 1114 a wood yard. Between Massachusetts av and the rails road bridge there are 40 stores occupied. Stores are being put into the middle of the Plucks. not being confined to corners.

As for prices. owners generally have raised them considerably in the past few years. The same can be said of Massactiusetts ay. I' be buildings along this street are just being made over into stores and already there are a number emunied. and a glance at the business signs shows the names of many prominent business firms.

The real estate market this week has been more even and steady, with neither marked increase nor decrease in its activity. The continued hot weather has prevented the immediate consummation of many sales. large transactions. it is true. have not been the rule this week, and probably will not for a few weeks yet.

As ham been pointed out in this column frequently transactions of large magnitude are necesksarilv few at this season of the year, and they do not by any means make the market. It is frequently the case. however, hall when there is not much aoing in real estate circles the larger 4lea1s are closed. The reason of this is that negotiations for valuable estates are very difficult to close. and take up considerable time sometimes to the exclusion of everything else.

If the deal fails to go through. as large sales sometimes do. the broker loses months of hard work. in the summer. when there is little doing.

time used up on these large vales Is not begrudged as it is during an active season. The temporary lack or news in regard to big deals is not to be taken as all indication that they are at an end. even for this reason. for such is not the ease, but on the other hand there are deals pending that promise with reasonable weather to go through. and brokers hope to see next week considerably better than the week just closed.

the testimony for presentation to the board and his care of the principal witness. Accordingly the sergeant's friends are wondering what other part the deputy is to have in the hearing. He has been sworn, and is to testify on Monday. Just what he will say is now exciting even more interest than was attached to the appearance of Mrs Cushing. It is understood that he has been keeping his eye on the sergeant, and that his testimony will be in the nature of certain incidents which he has witnessed, and the movements of the man under the charge.

Sergt Sheehan's friends promise some gurprising evidence for their man, which has been collected, and is unassailable, they think. In the first place Mrs Cushing's life has been gone over with a line tooth comb, and all her actions since she arrived in town have been carefully taken note of, and she will undoubtedly hear more about herself than she ever believed it possible to make public. Her reputation will be attacked, and it will be a part of the line of defense to show that she is so morally irresponsible and so totally degenerate that she Is entirely unworthy of belief. Evidence will be introduced to this end, and then It will be alleged that her character is also one that will tend to show her capable of incurring such an animosity against Sergt Sheehan, on account of the raid and prosecution of her for illegal selling of liquor, as to revenge herself by making these charges against the officer, whom she held responsible for the complaints against her in the municipal and courts. The sergeant himself will then take the stand, and deny all of her allegations in toto.

He will say that he never received any money from her for the protection of her place. that he never in any form re1 ceived any consideration for any services rendered to her, and that he did not accord her any protection or any privileges in his capacity as an officer, as she has testified. He will deny that he ever gave her to understand that she had the sanction of the police of division 4 to keep a house of the nature which she claims, and he will go on to assert that he never received anything from any agent or representative of hers for any protection, or that he ever paid any sum to her agent as a repayment of anything received when he found that he could not keep a contract for protection as the charges against him allege. His testimony will be an Indirect denial of any presumption that he had any connection, in his capacity as an otiker or otherwise, with Mrs Cushing, or anyone representing her. His counsel will argue that he has shown that the testimony against his client is of a class which should not be credited.

and which if accepted will work untold injury to the department as well as weaken its efficiency in many ways. Then he will contend that the story of his client is honest and reasonably true, and more worthy of belief than anything on the other side, considering the reputable witnesses who have depreciated the value of the prosecution's evidence. Regarding the decision, there Is a good deal of gossip to the effect that the board has practically made up its official mind on the case, and that it could be given right after the evidence Is In, If a sort of form did not compel some semblance to a careful private discussion among the commissioners, and a very weighty and dignified consideration of the whole case. The gossip which floats out of the commissioners' rooms says that Sergt Sheehan has two members of the board with him first, last and always in the face of such evidence as they have had to hear, and that they can be counted upon to declare for the truth of his version as against the contradictory story of the accusers. The chairman, It Is said, stands alone in the belief that the woman has paid for and been promised protection, or had reason to suppose that for certain consideration she would be permitted to pursue the even tenor of her way unmolested by raids, etc.

Sergt Sheehan, who is the first man to come before the commissioners of this reputed crusade against bribe taking in the police department, is 57 years old, and was born in Boston. He was appointed on the police force June 15, 1882. and was assigned to duty at station 4. He as broken in by special officer Whitman of division 4, and was put on the route around the South cove. That was a difficult place for any patrolman, especially for a new and inexperienced it was much harder at that time than it is now.

But the new man took hold intelligently and efficiently, and received commendation from his superior officers for his work there in keeping this notoriously bad district in some sort of order. He remained about two years on this route, when he was appointed to assist Sergt Irish, now captain of division 7, at the night desk at headquarters. The officer was a very fine penman, and ranked ai a bright, intelligent officer, so he was given this place. At that time the telephone and signal service was not as perfect as it Is now, and during the night a great many messages came in which it was necesary to for ward to different station houses, and it was the duty of patrolman Sheehan to deliver After three years of service at headquarters he was sent back to station 4. In a short time he was promoted to be sergeant, and went directly to station 1, remaining there a he came back to the Lagrange St station, where he has been ever since.

At station 4, according to the practice of down-town divisions, it was his duty as one of the night sergeants to keep his eye on all houses of ill repute, illegal liquor sellers and all other illegal "We did some legal business for Mr Cushing for several months past," sail Mr Chadwick, "consisting mainly of the transfer of a lease, and some other 1 things of that nature. She told us than 1 she wanted to get a et artcr for a club, to be called the Cushing social club. We got out the blanks from the seers- tau of state's office, and sNe had about 40 or 50 names appended to them in the ordinary way, stating that she was a proper person to carry on such an or. ganization just as the law requires. "I believe she never filed the papers tot' the charter.

She always appeared to me to be a respectable woman, and untA the pres. ent investigation commenced I had no idea that she carried on or contemplated carrying on the business in which she now says she was engaged." Mr Kennedy supplemented the infon. mation given by Mr Chadwick in regard to the giving of the letter. "I We in the office one day," he said, "and my partner, Mr Chadwick.
