PERKINS GALLERY.
The Detective Has Collected the Photo.

HELPED to Bring 70 Justice In 12 Years.

The Detective Has Collected the Photo-
graphs Of The 364 Criminals He Has
Helped to Bring TO Justice tn IL Years
G. B. Perkins is at present engaged in
making up ''rogues' gallery" OF portraits
of all the criminals arrested by him during
the last u years, or of those who were ar.
rested through his instrumentality. The
number reaches 364, and he has the photo
graphs of everyone. Attached to the gal
lery is also catalogue containingt the names
of the persons, the crimes which caused ar.
rest, the time of arrest, their conviction, and
the sentence they received.
The list contains the names OF 213 coun-
terfeiters, 12 murderers, II burglars, 2
blackmailers and 2 confidence men, beside
criminals of all classes. In the list can be
found the name of Sam Thompson, who was
charged with defrauding the Government
by using imitation plates. The peculiari-
ty about his case was that upon being con-
victed of his crime he paid fine of $50, 600,
and he was discharged.
Another peculiar case is that of the cele-
brated nickel counterfeiter, John Mogel.
When he was convicted, Judge McCandless
sentenced him to undergo the extraordinary
penalty of 30 days in the penitentiary.
The picture of W. E. Brockway, of New
York, one of the smartest counterleiters in
America to-day, is very prominent on the
list Brockway is known as the man who
first used the soft plate. The pictures of the
Bidwells, McDonalds andof Miss Demorest,
the Bank OF England counterfeiters, are
also among the number.
There are pictures of 1S women in the
gallery, but look into the catalogue shows
that the females have invariably succeeded
in getting off free before the courts.
As mere matter of popularity it is also
noticeable that there is not a lawyer on the
criminal list, while there are three medical
men. all branded as counterfeiters. These
are: Dr.. j. D. McWhster, DR.. +. L. Vim.
tree and DR.. NJ. II. Frank.

Max Freeman, the manager Of the New
York Casino. passed through the city last
night en- route to Chicago. Mr.. Freeman
stated that the Nadjy company would play
in Pittsburg in about seven weeks. Pauline

II am decidedly opposed to protection for
actors, especially barroom actors of the
John Mackey type" said Mr.. Freeman.
Competition is as close in our business as
in journalism or any other calling. 1 have
seen lots of people on the stage, and 1 won
dered how in the world they ever got there.
They might make good BARRIERS or hotel
walters, but actors never. People want to
see talent, and they don't care whence it
comes. 1 didn't see the production of
Wagner's new opera in New York, but I
am told it is failure"

GU VERY SLOW!
The Advice Given by Allegheny Citizens as

to the Charter.
Thirty citizens held meeting in ALE
gheny Council Chamber last night to discuss
the proposed city charter. j. H. Stevenson
was made Chairman and Henry Francis
Secretary. State Legislator Robson and
Councilman Stayton were present and spoke
briefly on the matter. Mr.. Robson ex-
planned how the city could be divided and
the number of wards increased, thereby in
creasing the number of Councilmen. He
said that if each of the 13 wards of the city
were allowed but one member in Select
Council, as provided in the new charter, the
balance of power would be invested in the
majority, and he inferred that seven men
might not always act to the best interests of
the city or citizens.
Mr.. Stayton said the matter was one Of
great moment, and though he was ready to
act promptly at all times in the interest of
his constituents, yet he favored slow progress
in this matter by reason of its importance.
1t was decided that general mass meet
ing be called for tomorrow night in the
Council Chamber.

PAYING P. &. R. EMPLOYEES.
Every Month 10000 Checks Have to be
Made Out for Them.

Employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company have made numerous requests for
the payment of their salaries every two
weeks instead of monthly, as at present,
but the company has always refused to
make the change in its system. In this
connection an official of the company said
yesterday:
eff the salaries of one set of employees
should be paid bi-weekly, all others would
have to be treated in the same way. Now we
have to make out 10000 checks for every
payday. To do this work force of clerks is
kept busy throughout the year. The force
would have to be doubled if we should pay
oftener. For this reason it is deemed i'm
practicable to make the change so often re-
quested."

MECHANICAL SCHOOLS.

From philadelphia.

From Ph1lndelphia.
The value of mechanical training and of
mechanical trades schools, such as 1t has
beez proposed to establish in this and other
cities, is very strikingly shown by the brief
experiences and achievements of Philadel-
phia's Manual Training School. The insti-
tuition has only been in existence about
three years, and it graduated its first class
last june when IS boys were sent out with
diplomas certifying that they were prof.
cieht in the use of tools in joinery, wood
carving, forging, brazing, molding, casting,
modelling and other mechanical pursuits,
and that they had completed the other re-
quired studies of the school.
OF the boys who have gone to work one

Company, at Gloucester. After being there
a few weeks and obtaining thorough
knowledge of the business the company sent
him to Pittsburg to take charge of station
at salary of 500 per month and expenses.
