Did you ever think thero must bo a large profit in it somewhere? The manufac turer of a certain baking powder pay out nearly a million dollars or more a year advertising their powder, trying to mako people believe it is the best made. Their baking powder is sold at 600 per pound. The retailer makes his profit, the jobber makes his profit, the manufacturer makes his profit, and tho consumer pays for all inese anu mo newspaper uuverusing aiao. What does it cost to manufacture tho powder? Other manufacturers give away 85 or 30 cents worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware, books, etc., with every pound of baking pow der. Again tho query, what docs it cost to manufacture tho powder can you think it out? You don't need to. Girvln. Duncan & Wald- ley havo a few words on the baking powder question.

THE LOCKUP WAS WELL FILLED Disturbances of tho Peaco Wore Numerous but Thoy Wore Not of a Very Serious Charac ter Moro Warrants. AY day in town gen erally brings with it abundant businoss for the justices, police and constables, and Satur day was no oxcept'on to tho rule. From noon till midnight tho town was filled with peoplo of other places and tho electric railway did a tremendous business. Thero were a number of exciting scones arising from disputos and whon tho police and constable retired for their much-needed rest the occupants of cells in tho lockup numbered nine. Thero were a number of cases that endod upon tho conclusion of bearings by tho payment of fines and costs. None of the parties who figured in the disturbances were seriously injured and in nono of the cases woro knives or pistols used. Ono of the most interesting cases hinged upon what appears to have been an un provoked assault upon a Jew by two Po landers. This case has been sent to court. It hinges upon the alleged persecution of the Jews by the Polish peoplo. 'Squiro Monaghan had four casos Satur. day night, but that number cannot bo taken as a criterion.

The thomo of Sunday evening's dis course in the Methodist Episcopal church was furnished by Prov. XlV-8, "Tho folly of fools is deceit." No one wants to bo a fool, and fow think they are fools. Utuallj men are fools pnly becauso thoy are deceived. Deceit is tho raw material upon which folly feeds, We hear much about the wickedness of the human heart, but not so much about iu deceitfulnoss. "We are told that "the heart is deceitful above all things" and again wo read of tho deceiva bloness ot unrighteousness" and "the doceitfulness of sin." From all this we learn that sin beclouds tho intellect so far, at least, as a jusi apprehension of spiritual truth is con- corned. Three stages of spiritual blindness are described in tho word, which account for tho folly of fools who exclude God from their thoughts, viz : what we may call the original, the ethical and the judicial. "The natural man roceiveth not the things ot tho Spirit of God, neither can ho know them for they aro spiritually discerned." Again, "If our gospol is hid it is hid to thorn that aio lost, in whom tho God of this world hath blinded the minds of thorn that believe not." Again it is said of thorn that rrcnivo not tno love of tho truth : "For this cause God shall send them strong delusion to bolievo a lio that thoy all might be damned who bolievo not tho truth, but have pleasuro in un righteousness." God hardened Pharoah's heart, but not until after ho had repeatedly hardened his own heart; then ho was judicially hardened by God as a penalty for his own folly. It is eternally true that when men know God and gority Him not as God, their foolish heart is, darkened and God gives them over to a reprobate mind. These things show us the peril of trifling with the truth of God and of tampering with the con science. A "single eye" is the price of moral illumination. Jesus himself laid down the law of spiritual insight when he said, "ho that is willing to. do, shall know.1 "We also learn from these things that men may sinceroly hold false views and conscientiously persuo wrong practices, This is sufficient to account for the strange freak of the Now York clergyman who wants the churches to promote the cau3o of temporanco by going into tho saloon bus! ness and conducting it upon christian principles. Such a suggestion has been impossible but for the deceivablenes3 of unrighteousness. This also explains how it was that good men could ever justify human slavery. It is also sufficient to account for the hellish inquisi tion without assuming that evory inquisitor was a friond incarnate. Those men may havo been conscientious In tho belief that thoy woro right, but they wero neverthe less doluded. Many of tho strange incon sistencijof life result not so much from nypoensy as irom iuu aoceiuuiness oi sin, But it ought over to bo remembered that wo aro responsible for being deceived. The cause is clearly revealed and tho euro is within easy reach. Our moral notions are our own product, and if thoy aro not cor rect it is our own fault. As to essential saving truth, absoluto certainty is attainable by the wayfaring man though a fool. Un aided human vision has never been able to discover the deep things of God, "but God hath rovealod them unto us by His spirit." And "He that is spiritual judeeth all things yotho himself is judged of no man." They Nuuied the Baby. Tbos.

ITS : ESTIMATES NOT RELIABLE Its Reception by tho Publlo Not Very Flattering to tho Promo ters of the Incroaso of Debt. fg HE estimate of oper lfp ating expenses of the proposed new water works, givon in the circular issued by tho joint committoo, con tains an item of $1 300 por year for fuel. Tho citizen who knows nothing about the probable quantity of coal required to gen orato steam for 6uch a plant as is proposed to bo erected, will probably accopt tho esti mate as having been obtained from a com petent source and as being nearly correct, A littlo investigation, however, pictures it in Buch a way as to let tho wind out of it and exposes tho ignorance or duplicity oi the committee. Engineer "William Hilton, who is known as one of tho most oxperinced men in tho region on matters of this kind, was seen by ' Herald representative this morning and asked what amount of coal would, in his opinion, bo required to furnish steam to run tho proposed pump. Mr. Uiijton took the joint committee's circular and alter looking up the boilers which it is proposed shall bo used, gave it as his .opinion that tho three 1C0 H. P. boilers can not bo fired with less than ten tons of coal per day. "And if tho boilers aro worked to their full capacity,' ho said, "twice that amount will bo re quired." It is not easy to sco how coal of any kind can bo dolivored at the proposed pumping station for less than three dollars por ton, but conceding that it can be had at two dollars per ton, tho figure of the joint committee, the cost would bAtwonty dollars ($20) per day, or eovon thousand throe hundred dollars (7,300) per yoar, Assuming that tho remainder of tho estimates and statements in tho joint com mittoo's circular aro as reliablo as the estimate for fuel, tho probable cost of the plant would bo about 8500.C00, and tho operating expenses about $15,000 a year. A facetious citizon speaking of tho joint committee's circular, in tho Ferguson House, yesterday, said that it had all tho oar-marks of a groon goods circular, ox copt the "Confidential" warning at its head. "Oh, no,". he said, "they can' flim-flam mo." Eight tons of coal per day aro roquirod to fire two 100 h. p. boilers at tho power station of tho eloctric railway, yot tho joint committee propose to firo three 150 b. p. boilers with about 1 tons of coal day. Evidently tho joint committoo'. ostimatcs need revision. Tho Sunday News, which has been the champion of tho joint committee and the boomers of the new water works scheme, was silent yesterday. But one artlclo touching upon tho project appoarod in its columns and that was a strong ono appealing to the peopl e to vote against the increase of .debt. Tho boomers bave'been argued to a stand from which they canneithor advance or retreat. Tho estimate of $10,500 for reservoirs, is, in the opinion of experts and mon who havo had experience in the businoss, just about sufflciont to build the dam at the pumping station and a respectablo frog pond on tho mountain, The joint committoo's circular reminds us of what the Dutchman said about "Webster's dictionary. "It is pretty fair reading, but somehow or other it docsn1 hang together." ior instanco, the committoo proposes first to contract the entire job, and a littlo latter on makes a bid for tho votes of the workingmen of the town by telling them that they aro to have steady employment and good wages in the construction of tho works, How is the committoo going to control the labor that will do the work If it is to bo contracted ? "Water that 'assists' tho health of th peoplo," is what tho joint committee calls the liquid that it proposes boiling in roservolr from eight to ten days before being distributed for consumption. Thero isn't much doubt about such water "assist ing" the health of the people Into disease and decay. The assurance that the $95,000 of bonds which tho joint committoo proposes issuo will bo firs pffered to the people Shenandoah is quite comforting. The poor dovil of a tenant who first has to pay his landlord for the water he consumes and ear thon pay n "water tax" in addition, w ll find consolation in the reflection that tho interest oa tho bonds, which ho is com pelled to pay, is going to local bondholders. Thore is ono sentence in tho Joint com mittees "stump speech" which tonanls and axpayors should cut out and paste in their bats. It will be found in tho lust Dara- raph. Hero it is : "It matters not whether you are a tenant or tho owner. It has to come out of tho property, and must bo paid directly or indirectly by the tenant." There is tho whole story in a nutshell. Fhe rent sharks and rookery owners had at iho movement to saddle the immenso debt upon tho borough, do not proposo to pay a singlo dollar of either tho principal or in terest. 1 et thoy have tho nerve to tell tho tenant and the man who owns his own littlo home, that "it has to come out of tho prop erty and must bo paid directly or indiroctly by the tenant," No intelligent and impartial reader of the joint committe's circular can resist tho ooncluMon that the committee's arithmetic, like its estimates, is sadly in need of revision. Tho coramitteo figures that $D5,O0O, tho amount of tho proposed in crease, added to f-10,679.87, the prosont indebtedness of tho borough, or a total of $135,679.87, would be il per cent, upon a total valuation of $2,093,G91.00. According to Brooks' arithmetic, which is ono of tho standards now, outsido tho secret sessions of tho joint committoo, we find that $135,579. 87, is a fraction less than 05 per cent, on the assessed valuation of $2,093,091.00, or within a half of 1 por cent, of tho limit to which the Indebtedness of tho borough may bo incroased for any purpose. INTERESTING COMMENT, A Huilffct of News by it Writer Well Known to our Itenders. Now that a hot spell has set in the citi zens realize the filthy condition of tho gut ters In many s'.roots and alleys. Some of tho places are in a disgraceful state and if the borough authorities do not awaken to a sense of duty very soon diseases will surely secure a foothold. M. D. Mastellor, formerly of this town but now of Beaver Valley, Columbia county, was a visitor to town to-day and paid a visit to tho Herald sanctum. Mr. Mastoller has a warm spot in his heart for Shenandoah, and when he visits hero ho never fails to hunt up his friends and ox ton d to thom tho hand of good fellowship. He is engaged in tho manufacture of boots and shoes at Beaver Valley and has established a large business.
