ment in the army-keeps out scores of
men who seemingly are pictures of
health, but who, nevertheless, are
afflicted with some organic weakness.
Applicants who have met all the re-
quirements of the service receive APP
pointments to the substitute corps as
soon as vacancies occur. Inas1nuch,
however, as there are constantly on
file from two to three thousand applica
tions, Endorsed by the examining board,
aldermanic or some other kind Of influ-
ence is not to be despised by those who
are very anxious for copship honors.
The time was when corrupt aldermen
and Chicago has hau more than it's share
of them-realized a snug sum every
year by ''pushing' the claims of indi-
vlduals who were wise enough to
grease the official wheel. This was one
of the evils whose cxtirpation enlisted
Maj. McClaughrys most earnest en-
deavors, and the good results of his eff
forts are already noticeable by an in
creased esprit de corps. The men are II o
longer afraid of being removed to please
q city father who wants one of his
henchmen rewarded by place on the
force, to the detriment of the depart
ment and the city at large.
Police recruits are just about as raw
as military recruits, and it requires
hard work to convert them into mar
tial-lool1ing material. Years ago each
captain or lieutenant was supposed to
train the men in his command The re-
suit was so unsatisfactory that a drill
master was appointed whose duty it is
to teach new men how to march and
how to WELD their clubs.
The hardest duty which policeman
is called upon to perform is guarding
the crossings of downtown streets. He
must protect the lives and limbs OF
thousands of pedestrians, control the
movement of hundreds of wagons car
riages and street cars, and yet do JUS
ticc to all. The task is one whose
magnitude cannot be appreciated by
| anyone who has never seen with hi;
own eyes the pandcmonium which
reigns in the principal thoroughfares OF
| Chicago. The most experienced Off
GERS are detailed for this duty, which re-
| quires remarkable presence of minG
and an even temper, as opportunities
for using a club present themselves al
most every minute.

Joliet. He held this position until 1888,
when he became general superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania industrial re-
formatcry at Huntington, Pa. In May,
1891, Mayor Washburne rendered him
the position of chief of police of Chi
cago, which he accepted after giving
the offer thoughtful consideration and
securing the assurance that he would
be permitted to organize and manage
the police force without interference
from any authority whatsoever.
The criminals of the country were
not pleased with the appointment.
They knew that while Maj. McClaugh-
ry was the kindest and most consider
ate of prison officials, he was also a
firm believer in the majesty of law, and
would consequently keep a close eye
on their doings. Most of the danger
Gus lawbreakers of the United States
are personally known to the maj or.
While warden of the Joliet prison he
introduced the famous Bertillon sys-
tenn of identifying criminals; and no
crook who has ever been an inmate of
the institutions managed by him has the
slightest chance of escape should he be
found at his old tricks.
AT the present time Maj. McClaughry
is perfecting arrangements for the pro-
lection of visitors to the worlds fair.
lie has entered into correspondence
with the heads of the police depart
ments of every country in Europe for
the purpose of securing photographs
and personal descriptions of notorious
crooks, picllpocl1ets and confidence
men, who are sure to find their way to
Chicago in 1898. Detectives represent
ing the various nations will be imported
to keep an eye on their la-v-breaking
countrymen. Other measures of equal
Importance have been laid before his
superiors by the major, and have re-
ceived official sanction. 1t is safe to
say, therefore, that the interests OF
worlds fair visitors will be amply pro-
tected, and that they will not be sub
jected to the annoyance experienced

lions at Paris and Vienna.

which contains station, and is under
the command of a captain or lieuten-
ant. The various divisions of the city
are in charge of inspectors, who receive
the reports of commanding officers and
condense them for the general superin-
tendent and his assistant. The detective
force is under the direction of lieu

To secure an appointment on the pc

ages of 81 and So. He must be not less

TIE ex-czar of the house is not to be
allowed to monopolize the role of clown
on the floor of the present house. He
has a rival In the person of Representa-
tive Boutelle, of Maine, who was so
much worked up in his mind because
the house adopted Representative Hol-
mans resolution against government
subsidies of all kinds, and against the
appropriation of government money for
anything except to carry on the neces-
sary business of the government, that
he took upon himself the task of max
ing a funny speech to ease his mind.
After serving the house with sort of
pot pourri, made of equal parts of
Dickens, Edison's photograph and
democratic economy, he jumped in over
his head by hurting anathemas at the
democratic party because Mrs Flower,
the wife of the present popular gov
ernor of New York, did not find the
contents of the linen and china closets,
as turned over by the retiring bachelor
governor, to be as full and complete as
she desired them to be. That was
humor of the most subtle kind, wasn't
it? Boutelle is very, very funny
almost as comical as Reed.

ty years, upon reaching the age of fifty
years. Many of Chicago's best officers
have awaited themselves of this enact
mcnt and others have been requested
to do SO. A number of valuable men
have been lost to the department in
this way, but on the whole the law has
proved of considerable benefit. Barna-
cles who chung to their positions long
after passing the period of usefulness
were removed and their places filled
with younger bloo1.
1t is doubtful if any other city in the
union has a more perfect police force
than Chicago. There are found among
it men who are brutal and quick tenn
pered, it is true, but they cannot hold
their positions for any length of time.
The maxim that policemen are paid to
enforce laws, not to break them. is be-
ginning to be practically employed, and
one seldom hears of wanton assaults
made by the guardians of the peace
Therein Chicago's force differs mucl
from that of New York, whose mep-
bers, according to newspaper reports,
recognize no power above that of their
own hickory sticks.

THE CHICAGO POLICE.
An Army of Twenty Ono Hundred
Able-Boaied Men.
Personal Chat Regarding Maj. McClauSh-
ry, General superintendent of the
Force Qualifications Essential to
an appointment as Patrolman.
Especial Chicago letter.

If there is one thing of which Chi
cago is prouder than Of its sky-scraping
buildings and it's park system it is the
police department. Everybody likes to
see a large body of men who are physi-
cally perfect, even if they are little
weak mentally. Physical perfection
has been highly esteemed in all ages
and among all nations, and not until
higher education shall have become uni
versal will a change occur.
At the present time the police force
of Chicago consists of 2, 100 officers and
patrolmen and 200 substitutes. This
army is under the command of a gen.
eral superintendent, who is appointed
by the mayor. His word is supposed to
be law in the police department. He is
sues orders to his assistants, is RESPONSE
BILE for changes in the administrative
offices, and controls all promotions and
dismissals. To a certain extent these
powers are indeed vested in him, but
party in power never tire of suggest
ing appointments calculated to
strengthen their political hold. No
chief of.police has yet been found who
had enough courage to disregard the
Will Ol IlCSO luSuNllCLS WIN Ills pI1N1-
leges; but the present head of the de-
partment, Maj. Robert w. McClaughry,
insists upon running the police force in
his own way and may be able, in the
course of time, to bring about reforms
which will eventually divorce his de-
partment from the baneful influence of
ward politics.
Maj. McClaughry is a unique char
acter with very interesting history.
He was born at Fountain, Hancock
county, Ill, July %, 1889. When quite
young he removed with his parents to
Delaware county, N. Y, where he
worked on farm and attended dis
trict school. He was ambitious for a
better education and took private les
sons of Presbyterian minister at odd
hours, and in that way prepared for
college, entering at Monmouth, ILL.,, in
1856, from where he graduated four
years later. In 1861 he removed to
Carthage, ILL.,, and during part of the
war served as major of an Illinois regi-
ment, participating in the expedition
against Vicksburg. In 1864 he was ap-
pointed paymaster of the army and
quartered at Springfield, ILL.,, until DC.
tober, 1865, when he was honorably
discharged. In 1874 he was appointed
warden of the Illinois penitentiary at

There's a good deal of guarantee bust
ness in the store keeping of to-day. It's
too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words-only
words.
This offer to refund the money, or to
pay a reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and you won't want your money back.
Of course.
So, whoever is honest In making it,
and works-not on his own reputation
alone, but through the local dealer,
whom you know, must have something
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business wouldn't stand a year
without it,
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what is lacking is that clear
honesty which is above the leverage
practice"
DR. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
to accomplish what they are intended to
do, and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you that a medicine
which the makers have SO much conf
dence in, is the medicine for you.

THE THRIFT" is a species of banking
association, instituted under the aus
pieces of the Pratt institute of Brooklyn,
n. y, for the purpose of encouraging
people in the right use of money. The
central office is in the Pratt institute. 1t
includes an Investment branch, in
which interest is given on account of
regular installment deposits, at the rate
of about six per cent per annum; de-
post branch giving interest on deposits
made at any time under stated regula-
tions; and loan branch, designed to
encourage the requirement and building
of homes, somewhat as in building and
loan associations. The security includes
first mortgage on the property and
assigned life insurance equal to one-half
of the amount of the loan. An explain
atory circular has been issued, explain
ing more at length the workings of the
association, and it is evident that its
capacity for good is very great.
Miss AMkLIA E. BARR, writing in
Lippincott's, informs us that the man
ners of this world, like the fashions OF
it, are rapidly passing away. One hun.
dred years ago men had not to compete
with steam and electricity-they had
time to bow. Now we are all in d
hurry. A very courteous man is es
teemed a bore. Words which NEAR
nothing but politeness are now mex
pressibly tiresome, and only nader
ladies with settled incomes have time
for them. Another reason for the de
cline of politeness is to be found in the
fact that wealth now pushes itsel
everywhere. Money does not make {
man vulgar, but pushing does. Mos
social evils are retrievable unless
women take part in them, but in tn,
general decline of politeness, wome1
are undeniably in the transgression
They have permitted the tone of society
to be lowered. Children are not laugh
to honor their father and mother. 1
