Royal makes the most delicious and
healthful hot-breads, biscuit and cake.
For safety sake, use only a baldng powder whose
label shows it is made with cream of tartar.
Alum baking powders are considered so injurious to health,
and their promiscuous sale a source of such danger, that their
use is universally condemned by physicians and health officers. In
many States the law requires that they shall be branded to warn
consumers that they contain alum.
In the District of Columbia, under the laws of Congress, the
use of alum in bread, biscuit, cake and other food is a mis-
demeanor. , ; -
Alum baking, powders may be known by their price/. Pow-
ders sold from ten to twenty-five cents a_pound, or twenty-five
ounces for twenty-five cents, are not made of cream of tartar.

CITIES ACQUIRE
RESPONSIBILITY
Supreme Court; Says Public
Ownership ; of Utilities
Adds a Financial Burden
California municipalities are financially,
responsible for the acts of their em
ployes when the public corporations are
engaged in private enterprises, accord-
Ing to a decision rendered by v the; Su
preme Court yesterday. This means "that
a hitherto unsuspected burden will ,be
placed upon cities when they undertake to
own and operate public futilities. -The
line which six of the 7 Justice* .draw ,in
"distinguishing public from *. private , busi
ness may cause great: difficulty there
after Inthe view, of; the remaining mem
ber of the tribunal. .
The point was raised In suit, brought
by Martial Davoust- against the city ; of
Alameda. The plaintiffs [ wife was killed
by coming in; contact .with a" live wire
belonging to the! municipal lighting: plant.
The - lower 1 court ? granted ia. nonsuit : and
Davou st appealed. "The defense \ cites , nu-'
mcrous instances ; where j the *. State courts
have hell j that municipalities are" not | re
sponsible for damages resulting through
the negligence of city ",' employes. In'; this
connection Justice. McFarland; who writes
the opinion, ,says:> -'
These cases undoubtedly establish"' the rule
in thU State, although it haa been held'dif
ferently in some \u25a0 ogier -~ Jurisdictloni, that , a
municipal corporation h when \ exercising \u25a0•- gov
ernmental functions- as an agentof the sover
eign uo-Ker is not \u25a0 lltbl* ; for damages \u25a0 caused
by the • negligence of i Its > employes, unless it is
expressly co made liable ; by; statute.'; .- But this
rule applies to a 4a 4 municipal' corporation .only
when acting in its : governmental; political or
public capacity as an. instrumentality intrusted
by the State with ' the '\u25a0 subordinate control of
seme public 'affair. "\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 Such* a .corporation, 7 how
ever,' has a double character — governmental and
also proprietary and private— and when acting
in the latter capacity its 'liabilities arising out
of either contract or tort are the samo as those
of natural persons or, private corporations. .

f ar: the" committee, expressed ; a doubt- as.
to /the "V legality '-\ of , the ordinance "and \u25a0 the
rlghtjof, the Supervisors to reduce fares

has: no*; right -to ; legislate relative to the
requirement'that the transfer privileges
nowj given '. by's the : company, shall \u25a0 not be
abolished •if tho ; fare : is ;; reduced. Super
visor I Gallagher^agreed, with Wilson, and
said -there;- were several clauses in the
proposed •; ordinance-, that are; Invalid.
Gallagher said/ the /main question to -be
decided; is'. wliether^.the board has the
power ; to" reduce f street car fares, as .the
point* involved the 'rights and interests
of -the "street f railway corporations. Gal-,

\u25a0 Supervisor". Duffey, wh6 introduced the
ordinance^ objected to any delay and said
the ordinance; had !been^ drawn up in .the
City ' Attorney's blflce: and .he was satis
fied'that it 'is: legal, f Gallagher expressed
•surprise that "the. ordinance, had been de
ciarecV legal by. the City; Attorney, as he
had previously stated :' tha^ ;."if was, to

pany to sell books of twenty tickets at

: ."I 'do not want" to"; recommend; an ordi

that the- bill^ -would"! stand' a legal \u25a0 test."
-, Duffey i admitted : that he had not ; read
thefriinchisea under which 'the. company

agreed' that there'; might be some reason

mined if ; the Supervisors have the neces

Gallagher said that, in 189S his invest!-^
gations had developed that the franchises
