Exercising Their Ingenuity in Getting Up April Fool Hoaxes. “April fool” was onthe tongue of almost every small boy this morning and many older persons were ready to spring practical jokes on their friends. The youngsters generally laid awake early in the morning trying,to conceive some new hoax which they could work instead of the many stereotyped ones that have become familiar, but they found thisa difficult task and lad to fall back on the old-time tricks that have been played off on the unsuspecting for bundreds of years. STOPPED TO SRE THE WHEELS GO ROUND. A milk peddler who drove his horse and wagon through “‘Swampoodle” this morning jumped from the vehicle and looked at the wheels with- out stopping his horse. Sure enough it was just as the boys had shouted to him: “Mister, your | wh turning,” but was’nt the kind of turn | he was looking for. “Pit break your necks,” he yelled, with a | volley of profanity, but the boys were behind }aporch laughing ‘at their success, The old man turned to shake his fist at them several times as he drove on. Two squares further on he was shonted at by another crowd. “Sure. and ye don’t fool me ag: answered the old to the disgust of his tormentors, “THERE'S A FAT POCKETROOK, said a colored man to himself as he was wending his way along Pennsylvania avenue early this morning. “I wonder how much there is in it?” he thought, “Perhaps a big roll of green: le avement, ng around, but before he reached it an clerk stepped upon it andsecured it, He erly opened it, but its only contents were scraps of worth!ess paper and back to the pave- ment it went with an emphatic ‘‘D——n it,” A POLICEMAN VICTIUZED, Policemen in uniform are permitted to ride free on the cars of the Metropolitan line. There is one officer who lives ina remote section of the city, but not far from the car line men- tioned. He has to go to headquarters every morning and make a report. Some days ago he was toldthat this privilege on the road Wouldcease on the first of April. Reasons were assigned for this which satisfied the offi- cer, who has been taking advantage of the free rides for several years, and he made arrange- ments to send in his report today by another officer, w¢ tosave car fare.

A large stone or a brick is wrapped in several pieces of Paper, and on the outside is a piece of white paper, the whole neatly tied with a piece of redcord. The neat-looking package is placed ou the sidewalk and the first person who comes along, supposing it to be an April-fool pack- age, is pretty apt to give it akick, A sore toe is the result, and the fun is kept up until the jot fail to call . chiro stant und perma- 5 Pennsylvania avenue, L Seekens or Comr ors 11 next door to Paiais ps, bird store, 317 12th st. . window sl ete., go to *s, 13 ot JELLY especially 6 Ith street.

Yesterday afternoon Samuel Strong and T.

Assistant District Attorney Coyle asked that bail be fixed—34,000 for Strong and $3,000 for Brooke. Col, Cook, after referring to the litigation of | Butler against Strong, said that an attempt [had been made to intimidate witnesses by ing the case to the grand jury and the dis- trict attorney had lent himself to Gen. Butler, who sought to transfer the litigation from one branch of the court to another. By this action Wituesses had been kept from testifying and it Was an outrageous proceeding. To test the matter they would decline to give bail, go to jail and in a few days, by habeas corpus, test the question 2s to whether such proceed- ings were proper while the civil case was pend- ing. _Mr. Coyle denied that there was any collu- Font the district attorney's office with Gen, Butle The parties were then committed to jail, At His Old Trick.

The same statistics show that there were arrested during the same period for habitual drunkenness and intoxication 4,001 persons over twenty-one years of age.

The United States Government Official Report, Aug, 17, 1889, and the New Jersey Dairy Commissioner's Report, 1889, recommend that, for the protection of housewives, manufacturers be required by law to use a label giving the composition of the Baking Powder sold. It is a startling fact that 75 per cent. of the baking powders examined by the Government Chemist contained ammonia* or alum* or both. (See Official Report W. S. Department of Agriculture, Bulletin No. 13.) Until such a law as the Government Chemist recom- mends is enacted, housekeepers should use Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder. All the ingredients of this powder are published on the label, and the accuracy of the analysis is verified by Government and State Chemists and Food Commissions. Housekeepers using Cleveland's Superior Baking Po der recognize the ingredients stated on the label as the standard for a pure baking powder, and know from the purity of the ingredients, the strength of the powder, and the perfection in results, that Cleveland's is absolutely the best and’ most desirable baking powder manufactured, * Ammonia or alum powders are dangerous to bealth, and, whatever their strengta @bould be avoided, = : —————_—_—_—_— ___ AMUSEMENTS.
