The little state of Connecticut prom

days and knows enough to make haul
of thousands while he is about it can
get away easily enough" said a passen-
ger in Market street car recently.
Had he made some inquiry concerning
the police machinery of the country, he
would not have made such a remark"
said an old detective who overheard the
words. MANY people are ready to ex-
press the same opinion, but it is never
theless a fact, that the chances for a
thief to get away when his crime is dis
covered within reasona BILE length of
time after it has been committed are
very thin indeed
Some years ago a thief, no matter
of what class, had a chance to enjoy the
proceeds of his plumber. but NOWADAYS,
even if a man does get away to Canada
or some other country in which he is
safe from the laws of this country, his
life, in nine cases out of ten, is one of
misery, but little less wearing on the
mind and body than a term in prison.
The man who made that remark, prob
that within an hour the description of a
fugitive could be wired to every city in
the Union, and working from these as
centers, the police would speedily cover
the whole country in search for him.
1t rs rare indeed that a man who has
gone wrong and is fugitive from
justice in a foreign country, escapes tho
mental agony born of Il yearning to
once more visit home he dare not
face because of the certainty of arrest
the moment he leaves his refuge.
"A great deal more attention is paid
by the police nowadays to the study of
the peculiar characteristics of different
classes of criminals than there was
years ago. Since the first picture for
the Rogues' Gallery was taken the
way of the criminal, particularly the
professional, has been growing harder
When n man is arrested two or three
times and finally convicted of felony,
his picture is not only placed in the
Rogue's Gallery, but his criminal record
is begun opposite his number in the in
aeX book of the gallery. Every time he
is arrested thereafter for an offense and
every term he serves in prison as well
as every alias he make use of are iotted
down in this book
80 soon as a convict is released from
prison after serving term the alert
police official finds out where he goes to,
what he engages in for livelihood, or
what class of men he takes up with. SO
systematically is this work now carried
on in some cities that when a Job is
done, or in plain English, when crime
is committed, the police can have a
pretty shrewd idea as to who did it or
what gang, clique or party of men were
concerned in it by the nature of the Of
Tense and the manner in which it was
committed. A man who has followed a
life of crime for number of years will
naturally fall into rut or regular line
of work, that is, he will find himself
more apt, more successful in one par
ticular line than another. This line he
will generally stick to, and will gener-
ally choose companions of like inclina-
ations. "-Pniladelphia Press.

corn husks were unusually thick, and
that the frogs were preparing to GO

had been standing up in the aisle of the

Consulting the "wise Woman"

"The wise woman" knows the secrets
of the cards, and if you cross her palm
with silver she will look at your hand,
be it hard with work or soft with lux
ury, and read in it's telltale lines the Sc
crets that only you and the heavens
know. But her wisdom has been gained
by shrewd knowledge of human ma
ture and weary struggle with ADVERSE
ty, and whatever she may say to you, it
is not so much by the cards at her feet
as by the blushing of your check and
the lowering of your eyelids that she
judges what fortune will please you
best. Sometimes carriages wait at her
door, and yelled ladies seek her, as of
old queens sought the oracles and
breathlessly listened to their words of
doom. Again, farm lass steals over
the fields in the dusk and blushingly
begs to have the curtain lifted from the
days to come. Always, unseen, there
is the lover in the backgrounds; and it is
of love that the wise woman" must
speak if she would earn her fee.-Har-

Special to the Statesman.

PocATELLo, July S.-Early yester-
day morning Senator Fred T. Dubois
arrived in this city from Washington
and Notwithstanding the long and IA
tiguing ride the Senator appeared
fresh and Joyous and extended hear
ty band shake to the hundreds who
crowded around him. A joint com
mittee from Blackfoot and Pocatello
rendered the distinguished gentleman
formal welcome, after which the Po-
catello committee gave him a ban
qust at the Union Pacific hotel. The
entire party then went on to Black
foot where q public reception was
held at the court house at 1880 p. NJ.
Hon. f. w. Became, Col. J. w.
Jones, Judge Standrod and Rev. G..
&. Stull made speeches of welcome.
Among other things Judge Standrod
said "That he had watched with in
terest the course of our Senator ever
since he set foot on Idaho's soil; that
he then saw him just begin to fight
the evil which bad become the root
and branch of this part of Idaho;
that he had followed him in this fight
from the beginning, hoping for and
finally seeing the victory of civiliza-
ton triumph over custom belong
ing to barbarism and savagery. Men
admire others for the courage they
exhibit in their strife with the world.
You are held in admiration for your
courage shown in this Gght from be-
ginning to end. We come here to
bid you welcome back to your home,
and with the right hand of fellowship
we do So"
In response, Senator Dubois said in
substance: 81 do not see how am
to make response to this welcome
home. ! have never received any
thing but kindness at the hands of
this people. | came to you eleven
years ago without friend and with
out dollar and have always had the
best of friends here from that dav to
this. ! look back over the past with
pleasure to the fact that | have al
ways been sustained by the people of
Bingham county and Southeastern
Idaho. When, in 1882, was Unit
ed States Marshal, of which reference
has been made here, all the good peo-
pie came to my aid and have stood
by me ever since. OF those who OPP
posed me, do not wish to say any
thing harsh. 1t is not necessary, for
they now know that we were right
and they were wrong. When it came
to the segregation of Idaho the peo-
pie of the north favored it, Some Of
the South wanted it, but here they
stood firm for Idaho and have always
stood thus. Great applause.) |
have endeayored in the past to serve
you to the best of my ability, and now
since | am placed in another position
! will ever continue to serve and rep
resent you-not as parties, but as
people. (Applause). | will say
something right here which | have in
the past endeavored to carry out, and
that is that | will take no part in To-
cal questions, for, as | said before,
wish to represent all the people, irres-
pective of party, place or section"
The Senator touched on the next
campaign, and said, at would be
fought on the line OF silver, lead and
irrigation"
His remarks were greeted by en-
thusiashc cheering. The days exer-
cises closed with banquet, followed
by grand ball in which over three
hundred people took part.
