DOMESTIC HELP.
White Girls Driving the Chinese Out of
Their Positions.


Their Positions.
A few years ago, nearly all the housework
in this city was done by Chinese domestics.
The "no sable John took no hand i'll
politics, never mixed up in any way with
local scandals, did not peddle the family
secrets about town, was a good cook, salts
fed with from S. to 81 so per week and
what he could steal. and for time he
monopolized this character of labor. Things
have changed in the past two or three
years and strong ir 5 and willing women
now do the chamber work and look after
the culinary affairs OF at least two-thirds of
the houses in this city. 1t is no longer the
boast of the ladies that they have
Jewel of Chinaman,' but on the
contrary they say, g l am going to let my
John go Just as soon as | can secure a COM
petent girl" Girls are scarce. A good
girl can get employment any time of the
day at good wages. A gentleman who had
been making investigations regarding Chi
nese labor in this city, says that there is
not one-halt as many employed here as
there were two years ago. AS domestics,
especially in families where there are little
girls, they have been entirely discarded.

of men who can secure no employment.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
PERNICIOUs PRACTICE STOPPED.
A Peculiar Police System of Making Ar
rests discovered.

a Peculiar Police System of Making Ar
rests Discovered.
An incident which occurred on Saturday
last has resulted in putting an end to very
pernicious practice which seems to have
been in vogue in the administration of
police affairs. On Monday morning Chief
of Police Lee was informed that on Satur-
day woman who keeps place on L
street had been arrested by an officer for
enticing and required to give him $40 or 90
to the station house. The Chief sent for the
woman and questioned her about the mat.
ter. She said she did not know the officer.
but, as he wore q uniform, sue supposed
she was compelled TO put up the money on
his demand. She was ordered to be at the
police office at o'clock in the afternoon.
when all the officers would be present TO
answer roll call, aud see if she could point
out the man whom she had paid the money
70. No money had been paid into the
Office up to this time, and no record had
been made OF the arrest of the woman.
At four O'CLOCK the woman was in the
Chief S office, and after roil-call the officers
were all marched in and stood in line. The
woman was badly frightened, but was as
sured by Chief Lee that she need not be
afraid to point out the man. On being
asked if she saw the man among the off
GERS, she nodded in the affirmative. At
this one of the force stepped forward, and
said that he had arrested the woman for
enticing, and had taken deposit of $40 for
her appearance, without taking her to the
station-house. He said this bad been the
regular practice, and be did not know there
was anything wrong about it, He had
paid the money into the office about half
an hour before, and explained that the rea-
son he had not done 50 before was that he
had forgotten il.
Chief Lee said that if the officer was SIM
ply following a custom which had been es-
tablished IN the force he could not prefer
charges against him this time, but he
warned all the force that hereafter no such
practice would be permitted. Every per-
son arrested must be brought TO the City
Prison, and a record of the arrest made.

A MERRY TIME.
Picnic and Fete st Spring Valley Banch,
Near Rockiin.


Near Rockiin.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Parker Whitney gave q
most complete and enjoyable fete to all the
Rocklin school children last Saturday The
little ones TUNED out in great force, over
$50 in number. " 18th all their teachers, and
there were also number of children from
various localities about the ranch, and the
Roseville brass band was on hat d and very
generously volunteered TO give their choic-
est music on the occasion. Nearly $50 peo-
pie, including children, participated in the
amusements, which were very attractive.
Mr.. Johnson, the caterer from Sacramento,
had charge of the refreshment department,
and dispensed large quantities of ice cream
and cake sandwiches, oranges, lemonade,
etc, and, as he afterwards remarked, those
children ate more than 500 grown people"
They had great time of it.
Besides the refreshments, prizes to the
value of $3.50 were distributed TO the chill
dren in grab bags, foot races, tugs of war
and climbing the pole. The latter was the
last amusement and gave great fun, and the
climbing of the pole was about given up,
when it was decided that the boys should
get the prize at the top of the pole 1851 in
in any way they could reach it without
sticks or ladders, and it was finally reached
by the boys making an Arabian pyramid.
The larger boys stood at the bottom of the
post, and over their shoulders other boys
mounted one over the other until the top
of the pole was reached by a pyramid of
five boys, one on the top of the other, and
the coveted prize was at last secured, after
more than one hundred efforts to obtain it.
Some original poetry was iecifed by the
pupils as well as singing, and an address
was made to Mr.. and Mrs. Whitney, to
which they very feelingly responded, and
many of those present were touched by
the sentiments of the occasion. Every
thing passed off very favorably, without an
accident, and hundreds were made happy.
Mr.. Whitney. with his family, leaves tor
the East on Saturday. Nth instant.

The United States Government Chemists, in their

powders upon the market made from alum phos-
phates contain large quantities of lime other aduer
ants AS matter of fact of the samples Analysed the
Royal the only baking powder found free from all of
these deleterious ingredients, and absolutely pure.
Alum is used substitute for cream of tartar to
produce cheap baking powder The effect of alum upon
the system has been ascertaned be poisonous and
doses have been attended with fatal results The phosphate
next to the alum powders in cheapness They contain
large amount of lime The baking powders sold with
gift are of the alum phosphate class
Lime when subjected to heat gives off a certain amount
of carbonic acid gas but quickime is left of the
most powerful caustics known. Chemists have found
twelve per cent one-eighth of the weight of of
the baking powers advertised pure to be lime
The absolute purity and wholesomeness of the Royal
Baking Powder-now affirmed by every chemist and food
of other brands-arse from the exclusive of of
tartar which is specially refined by patent that

In his report the United States Government Chemist
says: 1.-The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure for

Government will go still further and that it is
undoubtedly the purest and reliable baking powder
offered to the public
