HIS LAST NOTE SUDDEN DEMISE OF AN OLD NEGRO WHILE In the Act of Rol.lns tbo iTune—lie Bo loosed to tho Choir—The Bofrnln "Am I Horn to Dlif Hla Last Tunc on tho Earth. On Sunday the congregation assem bled at the negro Methodiat church were ■hocked beyond expression by a tearful coincidence coupled with u sudden death. • _ Old man Lewie Tooko la a member of tbe chair, and haa always been a promi nent figure In the cl roles of the colored Methodist ohurob, regularly paying bis devotion at the churoh of hie adoption, and pouring out hla soul In psalms and long meter tune*. Ae was usual on Sunday afternoon at four o’olook the old man was at hla poat In tbs eholr, although In feeble health. He evidently bad a presentiment that his cup of life had been drained almost to the dreg*, since the Saturday preced ing he had paid hla landlady hla rent, remarking, whan the hesitated to rg- oelve It, that be desired abe should taka It, alneo he was afraid he didn’t hare long to Ure. The old man’a troubled preaenUmenta were too truly realized. After a few preliminary remarks by the paitor In charge, old Lewis raised the familiar tune "Am I born to die.” It was hla laat tuna on earth. He waf aeen to stagger, gasp and fall prostrate, and almost before the congregation real tied the awful scene, death had aet Its seal on hla lips and the refrain bad died Into an echo. The occurrence scattered consterna tion In the ohorob, and the congregation decided to bo dlsmltaod. The old negro died of heart disease, haring been in feeble health for some time. The coincidence was appalling one to ■ay the least and made a profound Im pression on those witnessing tbe scene. Lewis was was a good negro about slxty-fire years old, with oonrirlal hab- 4 Its, however, and for fifteen yean was in the employ of Mr. U. B. Uarrold, until teoenUy, when be was employed In tho warehouse of Mr. Lee Council. Commencing to-night oar store will be kept open till 0 or 10 o’clock each night until Christmas. Dee. 10.

A baking powder that can be depended upon to be free from lime and alum la a desideratum in these daye of adulterat ed food. So far as can be Judged from the official reports, the “Royal” seems to be the only one yet found by chemical analysis to be entirely without one or }ho other of these substances, and abso lutely pure. This, it is shown, results from the exclusivo use by Its manufac turers of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. Tbe cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar Is much greater than auy other, and it it used in no baking powder except the “Royal,” the manufacturers of which control the patents under which It is refined. Dr. Edwara G. Love, formerly analyt ical chemist for tbo U. S. government, wbo made tbo analysis for the New York State Board of Health In their investiga tion of baking powders, and whose Inti mate knowledge of the Ingredients of ell those sold In this market, enables him to! speak authoritatively, says of the purity, wbolesomeness and superior quality of tbe “Royal:” “I find the Royal Baking Powder com posed of pore and wholesome Ingredi ents. It I* a cream of tartar powder, and doe* not contain either Mum or phosphates, or other Injurious sub stance.” Prof. Love's teats, and tbe reoent offi cial teets by both the United States end Canadian governments, show the Royal Baking powder to .be superior . to ell other* in strength end leavening -power.
