w. VAN STAHR.
Secret Service Officer.

When the badge was handed to Acting Chief
Cowie he said
''This bears no resemblance whatever to the
Secret Service badge (exposing the emblem
of the service, small copper afrair.) 81 will,
however, retain it,'' he added laughingly.
The badge was secured by the reporter from
two shrewd-looking confidence men who had
been working the "shell game" here for sew
eral days. The only names they were known
by were "Geary' and "Bill." They stopped at
No 313 Pennsylvania avenue northwest and
palmed themselves off on the proprietor thereof
as the sellers of patent soap for the removal
of grease spots and stains.
The reporter found the fakrs and crooks work.
ing the "shell game" in a well-known South
Washington resort, and after noticing the game
for some time without participating incip-
lent row started. Immediately the confederate
exposed the alleged Secret Service badge,
which at once quelled the disturbance The
reporter Immediately recognized the badge as a
fraud perpetrated to shield the bunco men
from interference, and subsequently obtained
possession. The next day he turned it over to
Mr. Cowie.
Acting Chief Cowie gavei as his opinion that
the badge had probably been used in some
game by either counterfeiters or bunco steerers,
and after testing the metal of the badge fully
prise that any one should go to such expense
for the emblem. The badge was properly
tagged and placed in safe quarters to wait the
return of Chief Brooks from New York.
A full investigation will no doubt be set on
foot tomorrow, when Chief Brooks returns.
The two confidence men who had the badge
made hasty exit from town when they re-
allied that their bogus emblem had fallen into
dangerous hands. An investigation showed
that there is no such officer in the Secret
Service as w. Van Stahr. The only knowledge
the boardinghouse keeper has about the two
men is that they regularly every morning pur-
chased two cakes of flve-cent laundry soap and
cut it up into little cakes, w hich they per-
fumed. wrapped in tinfol, and labeled s.Mapic
Grease and Stain Remover ten cents per
calie.n

But They Leave 81 Handsome Emblem in
the Hands of the Secret Service.
A picturesque golden badge, valued at not
less than $50, was put in the hands of Acting
Chief Cowie, of the United States Secret Service,
on Friday afternoon by a reporter, who made
very clever capture of the emblem from couple
of New York crooks who worked Washington
to some advantage for several days. The badge
is a handsome affair, in solid gold. The upper
portion represents star and crescent, with
large star pendant. The latter is fully three and
one-half inches from point to point and the
whole is beautifully engraved. 1t is inscribed:

Notes and Comments.

lie rOi est mort I{Ue ie TOi! AS foreshad-
owed in this column last Sunday, the forces of
the g outs' were marshaled in solid phalanX
and were marching on with colors flying and
bands playing to Harper's Ferry with a deter
mination to storm the battlements of the sins"
and rout them, horse, foot, and dragoons.n
In ordinary English, the fight for control in the
Electric Light Company was then reaching
fever-heat, and but n few days more inter
Yened before the decision of the stockholders
would be made. And to-day the "outs" may
eXclaim, 81 have fought the good fight; the
victory is mine" For it is undeniable that the
victory is q sweeping one, the votes standing
about 5000 to 1000 in their favor. The state
ment to the stockholders showed the company
to be in excellent condition, and the retiring
officers go out with good record to leave as
legacy to their successors. Capt. Thomas, the
new president, has been actively connected
with the management of the company for the
past five years, and brings to his new office
ripe experience that will maintain the high
character of the company in the past The
stock holds up WE'LL and it is boldly claimed
that its advance is certain to 5000.

One hundred and forty-two thousand six hun
dred and twenty-three shares of stock of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company out of
the entire capital of 100000 shares were repre-
sented at Martinsburg on Thursday and voted
unanimously in favor of the proposition to
have the company avail itself of the provisions
of the act of Congress approved October /, 1890,
and authorized the directors to carry their
wishes into effect as early as practicable. The
president read a report giving the result of the
transactions of the company since It's organiza-
tion, and stating that its business had been
more successful than was anticipated, and that
the outlook for the future of the company was
very promising; that the entire capital of the
company had been subscribed and was largely

Through all the excitement occasioned by the
talk of tight money it shows the wise judgment
and prudence of our local bankers in their man
ner of allaying, as far as possible, the tendency
of the public to lose their heads. 1t may be
stated in general terms that few if any loans
have been called, and while there has been no
disposition to encourage borrowers, there has
also been no unwillingness to extend necessary
accommodation. Washington is in no wise
affected by the doings of either London or Wall
street, except in so far as a few people may deal
on the New York stock market, and hence there
is no cause for uneasiness.

Solomon in Maryland.

In support of the well-established rule
that Justice of the peace always finds
for the plaintiff is, for the man
that brings "grist to the mill'-may be
cited a cause that was tried some years
ago in Maryland. Tho action was
against railway company for killing
the plaintiffs COW on the company's
track. The testimony was all in favor
of the company, tending overwnelm-
ingly to show that the cow had mo
business on the track. After the
hearing the magistrate promptly de-
cided for the plaintiff. The company's
attorney was greatly surprised and asked
his honor upon what grounds he could
arrive at such decision. He said in re-
ply that the company was negligent in
not putting up a sign-bcard with "Look
out for the locomotive y painted on it.
ssBut the COW could not have read it, "
said the astonished attorney. Very
true" said the majesty of the law, but
it would have been much worse for the
company if a person had been killed,
and under all the circumstances the
company is getting off easy. Judg'
ment for iff."-San Francisco Ar

su,phona, to BE Superseded.

The success which has attended the
bringing out of new hypnotics is some
thing remarkable, and now, when SUI
phonal has scarcely established itself
in that line, it is succeeded by what is
termed chloralamid, a substance which
in therapeuticals action has many re-
semblances to choral hydrate, but has
not the special influence on the cir
culation which is characteristic
of the latter body. According to
the practice at present pursued 1t
is administered in doses varying
for adults from fifteen to forty-five
grains. It appears to have one advan-
tage, of no slight Importance, over
choral hydrate-namely, that it does
not taste at all unpleasant, and it is
further superior to that article in not
being caustic. AS it is decomposed by
alkaiies it may not be prescribed in al
kaline solution-a quality that consti
tutes its chief drawback. 1t is said tt

In answer to something they said l
heard the bolt Withdrawn and all three
went out leaving me, thus far, un-
touched and the door open.
Not daring to move, Of course, l
waited for what was coming next, and
soon by the sounds from the street and
a glimmer of daylight shining through
my peek-hole / knew to my great Joy
that the dawn had at last arrived.
For long, long hour l kept in my
hiding spot hoping that I could rush
downstairs and from the outer door
if it CHANGED to be unlocked. After
awhile some one went out OF it, and my
time to escape or be killed in doing so
was come. Slowly by degrees pushed
open the bottom drawer and crept on
the floor to the hall. Every thing was
still. Then l sneaked softly down,
tried the knob, and, hurrah, | was out

corner, and didn't stop flying till po'

Tho Police Force of London.

The metropolitan police force is not
under the control of any local authority,
but is directed by commissioners who
are responsible to the Home Office OF
the general Government. There is a
strong demand in London for the trans
fer of the police authority to the county
council, and the subject has provoked
much discussion. 1t is urged that the
concentration of imperial and national
enterests in London is so vastly impor-
tant that the higher authorities should
maintain control of the police in pro-
lection of all those central concerns
that pertain to the greatest capital in
the world. Ultimately compromise
will probably be reached. The county
council ought certainly to have some
share in the police administration OF
the metropolis.

the ugly bulldog below warned me to
stop and Quenched my idea of escaping
IN that direction. l was smart enough
to make some noise, so the robbers and
murderers waiting to come up might

There was no place in the rooni-not
even q closet-to hide in, and | had no
weapon but my jack-knife. Then l
thought OF the bureau, and pulling the
drawers open found they were empty.

out there was no time to lose for the

knife managed to cut out the thin bot

first squeezing myself and the cut boards
inside the big bureau, crouched there
and waited in tho now pitch dark room.
1t seemed an age before l heard the
awful sound that l was listening for of
the trap being raised. From my posi-
tion | could look under the bed through
crack in my hiding place and see a
dull glare of light shoot upward from
the shaft. Then it dimmed a bit as
slowly and silently the shadowy outline
of a head appeared out of the hole.
Then it darkened completely and I
could hear the devil working his way
like snake out from under the bed
stead straight toward me. Then the
form stood by the bedside and listened.
| The suspense of that moment was hor-
rible, and l feared the ticking of my
| watch in the dreadful stiffness would
discover me- Then knew the bed was
being examined and that was missed,
for the noiseless figure moved over tc
the window, which / luckily had left
open. I heard low whistle from the
trap and the dog growl and then the
shadow struck match and seemed to be
looking over the room. Then with ar
oath he whistled twice and another form
with bulls-eye lantern in his teetl
crawled from the hole under the bed ant
with his companion began searching thu
room. Had left splinter on the foo
by the bureau? A cold sweat poured
from me at the thought. I heard then
whispering that I must have escapet
through the window and curse the do,
for letting me. Then they said some
thing about the bureau and, coming t
it, opened the top drawer. But the nois
they made prevented my breathing be
