aprons, covering their entire dress, and upon
their heads were perched the most outlandish
most brigandish old hats imaginable. Some
of these hats looked as though they'd see n

A Baking Powder Trick.

The Chicago firm under whose d.
rection the band of women are "tes.
ting" our baking powder has hit upon
very cunning trick. The "test," as
performed by these ladies, is to mix
the baking powder they peddle and
that found in the kitchen with water
separately, and call attention to the
difference of action. That found in
the kitchen, If pure, will foam up
quickly like champagne. The baking
powder they desire to prove superior
will rise slowly, foaming like new
yeast, over the top of the glass. This
slower action results from the pres
ence of -four, albumen or a gum in
their baking powder, and is evidence
of adulteration. To prove this, fill a
glass half full of water, mix together
equal parts of -four and some pure
baking powder, pour in the water and
stir quickly. There will be produced
precisely the same effeet-the slow,
foaming action-produced by the tests
with the adulterated hakin G powders
as made by our lady missionaries from
Chicago. The effect will be even
heightened by adding a little lime,
such as the baking powders carried
by the ladies and the other low grade
adulterated powders contain, OF
course, any statement made In refer
ence to other baking powders. by
parties caught in practicing such tricks
as these for the purpose of deceiving
the public will be entitled to no credit.

BY the way did it ever occur to you
business men how miserably unjust
you are to your best men-your best
citizens and PATRONS To illustrate:
Here are two men in the same kind of
business, rivals perhaps. One is hard
working, honest, self-respecting and
respected, who pays as he goes, and
will deprive himself of comforts rather
than "run his face" the other is a
loafer, with expensive habits, whose
whisky and tobacco alone cost more
than an honest living would come to,
who never hesitates to run up as big a
bill anywhere and everywhere as he
can, eating and wearing the best. and
never paying for thing in a legiti-
mate way, compelling his victims ult-
mately to run up an Offset account
at his place at outrageous prices, or
lose the entire amount of his account.
Look at the effect. The victims suffer,
the rival who deals squarely suffers,
and the community finds itself saddled
and ridden by sort of social or COM
mercial freebooter, who is unproduct.
i've; bad as ~ example, necessarily
unprincipled. and only Que degree
better than a pickpocket.

John Copley, of Clifton, secured the

The candidates are as well distrib-
uted through the county as could be
expected, and whatever of disappoint-
ment might have been felt by some
at the choice of the present candidates
and the defeat of their favorites, the
sober second thought reveals the fact
that feeling of unanimity prevails in
the party and that the ticket possesses
more than usual elements of strength,

plant victory that has perched on the

Thirty Years a Detective" by
Allan Pinkerton; published by G.. W.
Carleton & Co., New York. This IA
nous detective was born in Glasgow,
Scotland, in the year 1919. He died
in Chicago, July l, 1884. His was hard
life, busy life and great life, and
it rendered service to this country
which can hardly be over-estImated.
His thousand of successful assaults
against organized and determined
crime in many countries, are facts
familiar, and they constitute founda-
ton for fair and just estimate Of his
life and the mans real character.
A mysterious problem of crime
against which his life was devoted,
presented TO his thought was solved
almost in an instant, and seemingly
by his intutions. With half closed
eyes he saw the scene in which the
wrong was done, read every movement
of the criminal, and reached invaria-
bly, the correct conclusion as to the
conduct of the crime and the guilt of
those who committed it. His mental
views was broad; he saw all the facts
and on them passed his conclusions.
He was self possessed and well-poised.
The certainty of his judgement, though
characterized by a quick movement
of the intellect, was the result of Wig
orous and calm thought.
He has left us in his writings a
sufficient chronicle of his detective
experiences, that this and future gen.
erations may know much of his useful
life. His ruling idea in the publica-
cation of his books was to show to
the public how surely and inevitable
detection ana punishment follow the
commission of crime. His thrilling
stories read like fiction, though facts
they all are.

The Republicans in the states that
have already held their conventions
are starting very lively and effective
campaigns. 1t is no loft year. with
them this time. 1t has greatly in
creased the fervor of their exhorta-
tions this year to reflect that it was
the apathy of "off years" that finally
resulted in the election of Democratic
president. They are beginning to
learn something of their opponents. A
Democrat never has an "off year"
Every year is his year to turn out to
the polls.
The speeches of Blaine, Logan, Jim
Wilson and Gov. Foraker in their re-
spective states have all the intense
earnestness and energy that character
ICES a presidential campaign.

meant by stating In his direct examination
that this Investigation had been caused by the
Bell company; did he mean that the World
Sun and Tribune had been influenced by that
company com The witness replied: II do not say
That these papers sympathiZe with the Bell
company; but will say that there is not another
corporation in the United States that could
have commanded the influence, and made so
much noise III the newspapers"

statement that 1--WE have secured ali we ex-

Improving the Public Parks.

NO EXTENSIVE WORK ON THEM CONTEM-
PLATED AT PRESENT.
Col. j. NJ. Wilson, commissioner of public
buildings and grounds, has mapped out his plan
of work for the early spring, but very little is
contemplated in the way Of improvement of
the public parks and reservations until after
July. when the appropriations for the purpose
will become available. A number of reserva-
tons were improved last year, and much i'm
portant work was accomplished, but nearly all
the money available was expended, SO that
now there is but a small surplus on hand. This
Will be expended this spring in the most Judi
ciOus manner possible. 1t Is intended to set
out 300, 900 plants in the various reservations
and to trim the trees and clear the parks of all
The asphalt walks i'll Lafayette and Franklin
squares will be carefully prepared, ana all the
reservations put in aood condition. AS stated
however. no extensive work on the unim.
proved reservations is contemplated at present
