Then the officer would step to the

facts to every other officer. They

because naturally thief, would make
break TO escape as soon as possible.
Then they would be communieat I to
all the other stations on tine ground
and the facts in the case would be
known at the southern end of Midway
Plaisance but a minute or two after
the affair occurred at the north end OF
the grounds. The thief is then com
pletely trapped and his arrest is only
question OF few moments.
The force will be increased TO 500
men when IL becomes necessary. but
so thorough is the organization that
professional criminals are giving
jackson Park wide bert /, and as
yet not u single one of the gentry has
presented h imself at the Fair.
Superinte ndent Boniield has sent
out invitations to the superintendent
of police and the heads OF detective
bureaus OF every city of any pi min
ence ia this country and to the super
intendents of all the prisons and re-
formatOries. lie has asked them 10
cooperate with him by suggesting
men who would be suitable. The
number of favorable replies thus far
Is large and encouraging, and others
OF similar nature will come in as
soon as the councils or other legis-
latiye bodies OF certain cities can take
the necessary steps ia the matter.
The large Eastern cities, like Boston,
Philadelphia, baltimore and Washing
ton. will render every assistance.
The men that superintendent Bon
field wants to constitute his force are
detectives and ex-detcctiyes, police
officers and eN-poliee officers, prison
officials and cX-prison ofic alscs-
pecially men who have been peusioped
after many years service Such men
know the criminals Of the country and
would recognize them as soon as they
made their appearance.
Detectives from England, Germany,

asked for. and will no doubt be added

what is quite a comfort TO woman IN
Washington society-a good memory.
In most ways Mrs. Bissell represents
the ideal qualifications for Cabinet
woman, aside from her lack of knowl-
edge of official Washington life. BY
next seasons opening Mrs Bissen will
be ready 10 face Washington with few
tremors.
Then there is Mrs Lamont, who is
about 80 and looks several years
Younger. Mrs. Lamont likes nothing
better than TO gather around her
group of girls and debutantes And
She doesn't suffer by comparison in the
least. Her laugh is infectious. She
Is lust a girl with the rest of them.
She isn't girlish in the sense many
women try TO be when the curtains OF
30 and so begin to close around them.
1t is natural, and there are people who
declare that Mrs. Lamont viii never
grow old. The young girls who are
fond of her can hardly realize that
three small Miss Lannon'S call her
mother Like Mrs. Bissell, her health
is GOOD. and she has breezy way that
Is a tonic to tired and nervous people.
She seems always good natured ana
can find a very bright side TO anything
she turns around in her hands.
And Mrs. Hoke Smith was in love al
Is. engaged for five years, married at
20. and is now but 30. Until very
lately Mrs. Smith retained the slender
figure for which she had been noted
and envied among her companions.
Mrs. Smith has always had more or
less care on her shoulders. owing 70
the long invalid years of her mother
But she appears very young in looks
as well as tastes.
The fourth member of the Cabinet
set is Miss Herbert, who, of course, IS
a Young woman and would be called
only girl IL il were not that her man
ners are anything but girlish.
With all these young women in the
official family il will be strange If the
entire youthful element in Washing
ton doesn't take the lead and run
things on a junior plan.
The elderly woman is decidedly in
the minority. Mrs, Gresham, OF course
can't be counted on to figure with
much vivacity. The Morton household
will have a sort of movable head;
sometimes one of the young wives OF
the three sons and sometimes maiden
sister of the Secretary of Agriculture,
who is in middle life. That leaves
Mrs. Carlisle and Mrs olney to repre-
sent the very matronly element Mrs,
Carlisle never hesitates to announce
that she has been in politics for fifty
years.
But the Cabinet hasn't all the youth.
There are many new Senators wives,
and some of the younger Congress
mems wives who have not been here
are going to be here next winter.
The wife of senator Lindsey, who
succeeded Mr.. Carlisle from Kentucky,
is a very young woman, and beside
her tall, large husband looks even
slighter aud more youthful than she
really Is. She is the Senator's second
wife She does not look a day over
81. and probably isn't, Before she had
been here a week she had captured the
friendship and admiration OF
yey one. She sis not handsome,

with her wide education isn't limited
to any one range of subjects. She
belongs TO an old family and is meme
Der of the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton. She is witty and has all of a
Kentucky woman's love for a beauti-
full horse. She rides easily, and next
season will be figure onher favor
tie Khaleda, a fine Hambletonian,
which she will bring to the capital.
She isvery fond of Washington life
and without the least effort on her
part there has already come about her
set of young people who recognize
the social qualities that made her a
leader in her Kentucky home. Mrs.
Lindsey's mother, Mrs. Holmes, who
is a marVelously beautiful and accom-
| plished woman, will be with her next
! winter TO aid her, and the Lindsey
home viii be social center.
California has two young women who
will be heard of great deal. One is
Mrs. White, wife of the new Senator,
4 Stephen White, and the other is Mrs.
/ Geary, wife of Congressman Geary.
| Mrs. Geary will have a house next
/ year, and as Mr.. Geary is a great
/ favorite and likes to entertain there
will be many quiet affairs that will
/ be very popular on account of Mrs.
4 Geary as well as the Congressman.
/ She will bring to Washington what
viii be a little curiosity in the line of
cooks. IL is a real Japanese gentle
man who for good remuneration CON
descends to oficiate in the Geary

japanese, as he learned the culinary
art in this country, but he is very

is simply pastime, and scheme to
aid him in supp porting himself while
touring through this country. He
speaks several languages besides Jap
| anese and English, and is such an ac-
complished parsonage that it makes
his mistress rather shudder.
Mrs Geary is her husbands chum,
and whatever interests him finds sym
pathy from her. She is wiser and
i cleyerer than nine out of every ten
men, and thoroughly posted on every
thing in the national line. She is one
of the best politicians in California,
and Mr.. Geary relies on her Judgment
when he won't take that of man.
Yet She is the most womauly kind of a
woman and mother of five lively small
children, to whom she is devoted. She
is also under thirty
Mrs. White is quite a beauty and
will make a hit in her own home next
winter. She is very young and cos
mopolitan. She is referred to as
Spanish beauty, but the warm blood
that comes and goes under the rich
olive complexion is French. Mrs.
White was born in North Carolina.
educated in a Philadelphia convent
and has always lived in California,
where her father was French and her
mother of Irish descent. Out of this
combination has come a pair of rich

two deaths had occurred in Bolton
from measles during the past month,
Councillor Entwistle said the cause
Of measles was distinctly the eating
Of swine's flesh, Measles was distinctly
A swine's disorder, and total abstin-
ence was repaired in order that meas

ment was strongly supported by the
condition OF the Jewish community in
Manchester, among whom there was
nerfcet freedom from that disease.
In bolton, respectable people whose
houses were models Of order and of
sanitary condition, had the health and
the lives OF their children endangered
because they had to mingle with the
children OF other people who were
rross-fcd and had their homes amid

those who might be said TO belong to
the artistic and the fast world. Thus

Morphine. not to speak medically,
stands in the same relation to absinthe
as absiuthc to alcohol. Ahsinthe,
taken as the Frenchmen take it
causes no disgracefulness of conduct,
but il renders irritable and leads
to all that Is meant in the popu-
lar mind by softening of the brain.
Morphine does not always. it is true,
produce calm, but ut least its inn
mediate effect is not noticeable exter-
iorly. ON the other hand. however, the
system becomes so habituated 10 it
that in a short time the original doses
must be increased tcnfold. Then the
morphinomane grows pale and lam
gushing, loses appetite and sleep and
strength. and is without animation.
She IS really alive only under the in

or six years are enough to bring about
the degeneracy OF the morphinized
lady, even TO the marrow of her bones;
the stronges, of them lose hair and
teeth, their eyes become hollow, and
their hands tremble. The ideal of
such a one has we been summed up
as poetry, ecstacv, and consumption.

Meteorologist.
The Vienna correspondent of the
London Telegraph gives an interesting
account of an interview which he has
had with DR. Falb. the Austrian me-
teorologist. upon the subject of his
predictions Of earthquakes and other
disturbances. DIR. Ealh admitted that
the earthquakes generally occurred
few DAYS before the date he assigned
to them, but attributed that to the
prevalence of great storms, which he
said exercised considerable influence
upon the action of subterranean gases
aud vapors. This year he said his
theory may pass througha crucial test,
(which will raise it to the level of
scientific system" Asked whether he
could give any specific message for the
English people as TO what sort of
summer they may look forward 70, he
said: .well, on the one hand, | am re-
luctant TO make prophecies which are
