QUAKER CITY ISN'T SLOW.
Reform Movement Brings to Sight Tn
qnistakable Proof of the Fact.


If the iniquities which have been re-
yealed to the uniformed Chicago citi-
zen as result of the civic federation
movement, have created astonishment
YOU may imagine the shaking up which
the crusade for moral reform has
caused in my town. said Philadel-
phia gentleman. philadelphia has al
ways been regarded as staid and
sober old city, but we have been
shaken out of our complacency, ! as
sure you. TO the younger men Of the
city, unfortunately. these disclosures
have not been in the nature of news.
The most painful feature of it all Is
that the things now first exposed to
tie light of day ard which have
shocked the respectable element into
activity, have been familiar to the,
young men of from II to 80 for years.
1t was the general Impression, when l
was young, that If a person Of fast
praclivitieS desired t. put in his crop
of wild cats il was necessary to go to
New York city. We have found to our
chagrin, however that any man can
have the widest kind of a fling and
never 90 beyond the boundaries Of the
quaker city; 10, nor beyond the circle
which marks the mile radius from the
city hall. In small side street within
easy walking distance Of that citadel
of our civic honor, over which William
Penn's heroic statue has stood in
watch aud ward for so many years, n
dive was found which ii would be
hard to beat even in the Bowery. 1t
belonged to what is known as the
wide open variety, where music. beer

WOMEN AS DETECTIVES.

In refutation of the oft repeated as
sertion that a woman cannot keep q
secret is the statement that the great
Pinkerton detective agency employs
many women in its service. The
women are used in three ways, first, as
Swallowing" suspicious characters,
that is to say, following them about
the streets and learning their haunts
and habits; secondly, to watch and be-
come acquainted with persons who are
likely TO know the object of the search,
and who may be able to impart infor-
nation. The great art here lies in
quickly determining how important
this person may be, and in drawing out
the required knowledge with a tact
that never awakens suspicion. The
third division is by riding in street
cars and railway trains and watching
the guards and conductors to see If
they serve the company properly. and
il they are honest with the funds they
collect. Often the wives and daugh-
ters of railway men make application
at the detective bureau for this kind
of work and are received. Again.
women often serve through the private
employment of detective official, who
during the course of an investigation
realizes the Importance of some
women's cooperation and engages and
pays her for helping him acquire the
necessary data and preserving the
scent of the TRAIL

ARBITRA TON ASKED
KENosHA's MAYOR APPEALS TO
THE BOARD.
UPHAM ALSO INTERESTED
He Has Presumably Gone TO the
Scene Of the Trouble-Outcome OF
the First Arbitration Looked
for with Interest by Both
Sides.

Governor Upham went to Milwau-
kee at O'Clock last evening. 1t is
understood that he intended to spend
the night there and today 90 to Keno
sha, where the state board of arbitra-
ton, composed of Messrs. Jeardeau,
Waddell and Edwards, Is about to
conduct an investigation of the labor
troubles which are agitating that city.
This is the first work of the board
and much interest is manifested in the
probable outcome of it.
Section 8 Of the statute creating the
board provides that the mayor of any
city may notify it of pending or ex-
pected trouble and 1t then becomes the
duty of the board to Investigate the
case and try to effect an amicable set
tlement. The board may If it deems
advisable Investigate the cause or
causes of the controversy, ascertain
which party thereto is mainly re-
sponsible or blameworthy for the exist
ence or continuance Of the trouble and
make and publish a report finding such
cause or causes and assigning such re-
sponsibility or blame"
Dispatches from Kenosha received
last night say: Fifty more men
struck at the Chicago brass
works today and the mayor has
called he state board of arbitration
to settle the difficulty before it in
wolves other factories. This is the
first time the new board has been
asked to act and the result is awaited
with interest by manufacturers. The
city is threatened with a sort of cpl
demic of strikes and besides the two
mentioned a strike of the tanners is
rumored. The men now out paraded
the streets, but no further demonstra-
ton was made. The mayor says he
does not propose to wait until the
strike spreads before using all means
to settle the trouble.
Twenty of the twenty-five molders
employed by the Northwestern wire
and mattress works have struck. They
have been working only a few hours
a day, and they want to work ten.
While the men say they are on
strike the superintendent says there is
no strike. He says the iron molding
department has been shut down for
the rest OF the week"

The Canadian government inyestiga

The powders of lower strength are
found to leave large amounts of in

phasized by the report of the Ohio
State Food Commissioner, who while
finding the Royal practically pure,
found no other powder to contain less
than 10 per cent. OF inert or foreign

The statistics show that there Is
used in the manufacture Of the Royal
baking Powder more than half Of all

United States for all purposes. The
wonderful sale thus indicated for the
Royal Baking Powder greater than that
of ali other baking powders combined-
is perhaps even higher evidence than
that already quoted of the superiority
of this article, and of its Indispensable
