SOME CURIOUS RELICS,
Misunderstanding Hine, tuiton's swivel
dun snd an Old sword


New York Times
Police Captain Williams, tho efficient
regulator of the Goth precinct, has bcon
presented with trio Of American relics,
upon which is placed high value, by Mr.
Charles swift, venerable gentleman liy-
ing in West Thirtisth street. Tho relies
are Spanish rifle, claimed to have been
used by Shipman, the original of Natty
Bumppo i'll CoOper's Leather stocking
Talcs swivel gun, once the property
of Robert Fulton, and sword worn by a
captain under the command Of George
Washington. Tho rifle is seven feet in
length, with stock of French walnut and
flint lock, which has been put in the gun
since it was manufactured, and does not
iit the aperture cut for the original lock.
1t Is bound with brass, ,lavishly scrolled aud
oruamentcd. The rifle, Mr. Swift explains
in note to Captain Williams, was owned by
Robert Swift Livingston hundred years
ago, who presented it to his son. Clarence
Hubert Livingston, who in turn gave
II to MIR. Swift. The swivel gun is pom.
derous weapon. about three feet in length
weighing over thirty pounds. 1t is flint
lock OF ono and ue-sixteenth inch bore
and is brass mounted. 1t was used, Mr..
Swift says, by Robert Fulton in torpedo
experiments In 1911 and 1912. The sword
Is evidently OF English manufacture, hav.
ing curiously engraved brass hut, term.
mating in head of British lion. The
blade is is very slender and about three
feet in length, and the sheath is of black
leather with n brass tip. Tho sword
was used by Capt. Il. Walton, Of Bucks,
county, Pennsylvania, au officer during
the Revolution under Washington, aud
through the pennsylvania whisky rebel.
lion Mr.. Swift, in the note accompany
ing the articles presented to Captain
Williams, says "Hayng reached my 10Th
year, and having no near relatives who
would properly value these relics, prefer
leaving them 10 you, that they may be in
honorable company with other collections
OF the same kind, and that they may not
find their way to o junk shop"

CHARLIE Ross has not been found
the bones Of A. Il. stewart were never
recovered, the Mary Stannard murler
remains mystery, the detectives have
abandoned the Rose Ambler case, and
there seems to be no more chance of
finding clue to the perpetrators Of the
Phoebe Paulin outrage and murder in
New jersey few weeks ago. Crimes
OF the sort of these last named seem
to be OF increasing frequency, and they
are not apt to be discouraged by the
difficulties or ignorance which make
futile the efforts to discover their per.
petrators. Occasionally the remorse
and sometimes the laundering of one of
these scoundrels discloses his identity,
but In the murder cases of special horror
which have affrighted and sickened the
country Of late years, detective skill has
not shown to any great advantage. WhCn
1t becomes necessary to negotiate with
thieves for division of the booty with
those whom they have pundered, there
seems to be little difficulty in getting
the average American detectives to act
as the go-betweens but ~ class they
have as yet won little popular confidence
In their combined honesty aud intelli-
gence. Lacking either of these quail
ties the detective is only less hurtful
to society's interests than the criminal
himself. There seems to be lne field
for aspiring genius in this country tc
develop itself In the improvement of q
profession of which the labors are Al
once of romantic interest and fruitful o
compensation In money and fame.

ONE of the mos, salutlry bills thus far
introduced in the session of Congress that
has just begun is that by Senator Plumb
making the prohibition of gambHng an
additional article of war. Tbs bill provides
that any officer Of the army serving with
troops or any soldier not on furough, who
gam lies, bets or plays for money or other
valuable stake or consideration at any game
OF cards or otherwise, shall bo brOugh. 10
trItl by court martial, and upon c)uyielipu
shall DO punished in a manner specified.
The bill is aimed at what has become well
known in Washington a, "the Army
Poker club, " to which young officers from
tho frontier posts visiting Washinston
hayO been invited and despoIed of their
surplus funds by the old veterans located
at the national capital. The majority OF
cases Of officers duplicating their pay ac.
c)unts are chargeable to the game of pokor
as played at Washington. Though i. is
Very doubtful whether the nov provision
will have the eifec. promised it, yet ic
must be bcrehcent in forcing the ganbliuy
sharks in Washington to ply thoir nerar
louS trade for the future in secret.

WE print the new poem which Mr..
Tennyson has written for an enterprising
American publisher--and for thousand
dollars. 1t may be good advertisement
for children's magazine to get an orig
inal poem from the poet laureate
who is soon to be made peer and who
has an income Of $50, 600 a year from his
writings. If he could be paid at the
same rate for all his work as for these
eight stanzas Of six lines each, he might
increase his earnings almost illimitably.
There are some Of the verses which are
not worth the $40 q line that, it is pur.
