INDEXES md CATALOGULS

II was long ago settled that no book of any i'm
portancc Is complete without good index. Quite
as long to tue readers Of many generations. it has
been apparent that Il good index is a rare thIrg. In
this age no want can be supplied and no rclorma-
ton promoted without the assistance Of a Society.
Accordingly, we not surprised 10 learn tnat an
Index Society has beca established in England and
that il already numbers 40 members. Its aim
will be. a. we are informed, to furnish thorough
indexes 10 valuable works aud collections which
have heretofore lacked them. Ii will MISC
issue indexes to the literature OF special
subjects, and will gather materials for a
general Iefereucc-indcX. The Society has issued a
little book, designed to convey information upon
the subject. Some amusing instances arr given of

vestIgation of the epidemic, without the i'm
mediate cooperation of the best professional
skill, would, in all probability, be fruitless
and absurd.
Yesterday was a gloomy day for the coal
combination. The action of the Board OF Con-
troll increasing the allotment for December by
10000 tons is regarded as the sure sign
OF the dissolution of the combination. II
there had been any possibility Of It's con-
tinuance, the mOurners say that there would
have been more conservative action. Now one
of the broken-hcarted operators predicts there
will be ga coal war of unparalleled proper
tons, in which the consumer alone Will be
Z" The gamer" The bare possibility that the
consumer may gain an occasional advantage
in buying his coal, IS enough TO shrOud the
whole community III the deepest gloom.
The brilliant feat by which General Roberts
captured Peiwar-Khotal came oppornely to
the aid Of the BeacOusiield Administration at
the opening Of Parliament. The hostility ofthc
Opposition subsidized into mild criticism,
and Lord Harrington, the Liberal leader, sand
be would not hamper the Government by any
attempt to withhold the, granting Of supplies
Mr.. Gladstone was somewhat holder, but
went no further ,han to ask for more in
formation, in which the royal speech was
very scauty If fortune continues to favor
the Premier so steadily, it is more than likely
that he will make that appeal to the county
tor which the Conservatives seem to be or
ganzing.
The story, given on another page, of the
adventures OF the fOrger Hadey, i'll cross
ing the Continent, gives some striking por-
traits of certain classes of detectives and
police officers of the present day. The de-
tecuve who figures most largely in this nara
tive confronted the forger with an order OF
arrest on his way to Denver, accom-
panied him to that city, kept him
steadily under surveillance, and bled him
of thousands of dollars, even going 50 far
according to the fOrgeI'S complaints, as t.
take his watch and chain. Meanwhile the
Colorado Sheriff. who had issued the order Of
arrest teegraphed to NcW-York to find out
whether there was any reward to be had
for the apprehension of this half-frce
prisoner and learning that his disintercstcd
efforts for the punishment Of crime were likely
to be poorly repaid, coOlly dropped the whole
matter. The iorgcr left Denver for San
Francisco, with the so-caled detective travel
Ing III his company, the former passing forged
notes. the latter taking a good share Of the
proceeds. In San Francisco one Of these opera
lions was discovered by some person without any
sense Of the proper functions of Il detective
and Hadey was arrested 10y some rash and
inexperienced police officer. 1t is a singular
story, which many will believe, for the state
mcnts of thief about detective are too
often quite as good as those of a dctectivr
about a thief. There are many honest de-
tectives, no doubt, but such revelations a.
these tend to increase the general wonder
that the number Of police mysteries" is not
greater than it actually is.
