Tbe coal miners' strike came to a sudden end on Thursday, and was a victory for tbe operators. Tbe men are to resume work at tbe old figures, and the mine owners promise not to discriminate against the strikers, There was much joy over tbe cessation of hostilities when tbe news was announced to the miners at Brazil, few of whom have beeu in favor of the strike at any time. Tbe loss entailed by this two months of voluntary Idleness is estimated at fl,750,00#. It has been a very expensive experience, but it Is to be hoped it will carry a lesson with it.

One of the saddest deaths which hss occurred in this ctty for some time is tbst of Harold Parsons, the only child of President W. W. Persons and wife, at his £ome on Cherry street yesterday. The little fellow was sick only a few days, the symptoms developing into diphtheria Wednesday morning. His fstber, who was absent in Pennsylvania on educational work, was telegraphed for and arrived home on Thursday. Harold was a remarkably bright child, though only three years snd eight months old. He was idolized by bis parents, who are almost crazed over their loss, and who have tbe heartfelt sympathy of tbe community in their terrible bereavement. The burial will be prlvate. ______

There has been a slight abatement of "la grippe" this week, possibly because It could find no more victims, but the doctors still hsve all tbe business on band which they can dispose of, and unless there is a decided health improvement In a few days several of tbem will be worn out. There are aow more diphtheria caees in town than have been heretofore reported, although it is ssid tbe number reported does not exceed twenty. The health officers, especially Sanitary Polioeman Ryle, are doing all they can to guard against tbe disease, but there are still several physicians wbo sre accused of failure to report patients who are suffering from it. A few prosecutions might have a salutary eflect.

It is the misfortune of New Year's Day thst It follows so closely upon Christmas otherwise it would be reckoned a holiday of still greater Importance. But perhaps it Is better as It is for by the proximity of these two great holidays a week's festival, and therefore a full week'** recreation is brought to bustling, toiling human nattne, that but for the occassional holidays (of which there are too few) would scarcely know respite from Uie constant struggle for existence, or opulence, or distinction. But the New Yesr's holiday is not eclipsed by Christmas, but sbinos brighter by the light reflected Trom It. The latter does not spoil tbe appetite for tbe formei, but gives it ssost rather. Each recurring Now Year's Day Is another mile post in the journey of our lives, auother one of the Three Score and Ten, which, by Dtrine appointment, constitute the length of our course.

A few years ago at this season the following item would put in its animal appearance: "Tho time is within a stone's throw again for young gentlemen of colossal cheek to rig thomselves up in their Sunday clothes, and call at "open" bouses whore they have never been invited and undor any other circumstances would not bo recognized.

that Is any satisfaction to thtitn, I hope they will hugely enjoy tho aunual opportunity to ga/.e upon tho Interior adornineuts of aristocratic homes and snltl tho fragrant social atmosphere that thov undoubtedly imagine to bo divinely ethereal. They will be graciously welcomed and smiled upon, and fed will* glittering silver from costly decorated china, and bowed out with royal queen linear, and doubtless soar between the open houses with feathery hearts and bewildered brains, and delusive visions of now made friends. But they will ive their short-lived conceit flattoned out on the morrow when they meet these New Year's day ladies upon tbe street, and are most Ignominously snubbed.'" As New Yesr's calls have gone into a state of "inocnous desuetude" the monumental gall of the young man of the period manifests itseif In Muie other direction.

Dr. B. B. GLOVER,

Specialty: Diseases of the Rectum. REMOVED TO SEVENTH AND POPLAR STO

The Royal Baking Powder Company has resorted to so many tricks to forte its way upon the public, that Whenever any cry of fraud is raised the public instinctively turns to the Royal Baking Powder Company.

Is it any wonder The Royal has recently printed a statement purporting to be an interview with Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota, to the effect that the Royal Baking Powder is all which the company asserts it to be. The statement is made that Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, §tate chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission, made the representations referred to before the legislative committee at the last session, which ex

amined various baking powders.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

1st. There is no such person as Dr. Benjamin F. Drew, state chemist and analyst to the Food and Dairy Commission of Minnesota. 2d. There is a Dr. Charles W. Drew, who is state chem

ist and analyst to the said commission. 3d. He denies the statement in question of the Royal Baking Powder Company, generally, as follows: 1st. The statements in no sense represent his attitude

or his utterance. 2d. There has never been, either in the published reports of the chemist of the commission, in his testimony before the legislative committee or elsewhere, any implied endorsement of the Royal Baking Powder as superior to

other brands. 3d. At the session of the legislative committee before which Dr Drew testified, an attempt was made by the attorney of the Royal Company to secure the statements which the Royal Company has since printed, which attempt failed. 4th. On the contrary, Dr. Drew did say there were sufficient grounds for objection to the presence of ammonia in baking powders to justify the legislative committee in recommending that all such powders be required to announce upon their labels the fact that Ammonia was one of the constituents and Dr. Drew further expressed to the committee the following emphatic opinion: "I would not recommend such powders to my patients, nor would I use them in my own family.**

The Price Baking Powder Company makes a ?z~2 Oeam Tartar Baking Powder, free from ammonia, alum, lime or any taint of impurity, and feels it owes a duty to the public as well as to itself to lay bare such trickery as the Royal resorts to in trying to wheedle the into using its Ammonia Powder
