DETECTIVES ARE ON DUTY.
Chief Bonfeld's Men Nave Already Taken w
the Watch for Crooks.

CuIc ,Gu, April 21-Woe be to the crook
who attempts to thieve at jackson Park to-
day or any other day from now until the
last day OF the fair. Chief Bonfield. of the
Exposition secret service, has turned loose
with explicit instruction to detect, $50 ex-
pcrienced detective, gathered from all parts
of this country and from some of the for
egn countries.
Additions will he made to this number
until by SATURDAY there will be a force OF
about 400 to look after the welfare of the
unwary Wori's FAIR visitor. These men
viii he divided into six squads, as there are
six police districts in the grounds, each to
be presided over by an inspector. Each
district is subdivided into two sections.
Chief Bortield has completed his force
having selected what he considered the 400
best men from the thousands of appGca.
tons male by men of experience from,
Maine to California and from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf.
The selected are men who have been long
on the police or dete forces of the large
cities of the country, or who have been fol
years connected with penal and reformatoIy
'stitutious-men who are acquainted with
thu crooks and criminals of the land, and
who can spot them a. soon as they show
themselves Many of the detectives are
from London, Glasgow. Berlin. Paris, and
other large cities of the old world.
The telephone system by which Chief
RonfelI is to make known the presence of
a crook or the commission of crime is
crime is nearing completion. The main
bne has been lad and the workmen are now
busy with the branches. 1t has been prom
ised ready for use by May |.

arrangements for the reception of the
crooks.

There never VAS - time in the history OF
the cattle industry of this continent when
the necessity of improving our stock was 50
apparent as now, and yet no systemntir
eifur; is being put forth in this direction
During the past three years the sales Of
pedigree cattle have hung fire. The effort.
made TO dispose of their surplus stock by
even the most careful breeders have been
failures and many a fine COW or heifer
has found her way to the
shamhles when the scrubs of the farm wer,
calling out for ar infusion of the blue
blood. Not one tribe in particular of the
bovine race have suffered, but all of the
beef breeds have fallen into disgrace when
placed under the hammer. The trumphs
of Bates, the victories of = McCombie The
wonderful sweetness Of the white faces "
have been buried beneath the avalanche of
depression. One herd after another is
brnker up, goes to pieces like a ship on the
70 ks, and disappears from view
To men standing in the stock
yarls day after day, watching the food of
poor cattle placed in pens. the question
arises, What does it all mean? Is there nc
balm in Gilead! Or has the salt lost its sa-
vor? 1t would seem SO. We can excuse the
ordinary farmer, busy with his work caring
little for the lectures of the professor or for
the host of agricultural tinkers who flourish
in every country, hnt when he forgets that
hloo.i will tell that the foundation of i'm
provcment in his herl lies in the science OF
the breeder who has built up the great
tribes of beef cattle, then we can neithe,
forgive nor forget.
The American farmer has to face the
world when he markets bis produce. We
raise more beef than We can consume, and
our surplus finds market in the shape of
our export beeves forwarded alive, our
dr. sse. meats ihat are shipped in the quar-
ter. or the millions of pounds of common
stuff that are consigned in the can Our
beef products have 10 come In competition
with those from other countries. Australia.
South America and the continent of Eu.
rope send their surplus to the wharves Of
liverpool, the meat markets of London
There, in fair field with no favor, we
have 10 face the outpouring. of countries
whose national resources are only second

"iSCuG' WAS IRREsISTIHLY Funny.
There was more of clear, pure, sparkling
comedy in "Incog' AZ played in the Opera

THE PENSION SERVICE.
Mr.. Murphy Thinks Ne Can Greatly Improve
Working Of the Office.

WA>nISGToN, April 27.--Acting Commits
soner ID. |. Murphy of the pension bureau
is making thorough examination of the
methods of work prevailing in the Office
and has already made number of changes
that he believes will result advantageously
to the service.
1t was found that more than so clerks
were constantly employed in what is callet
statistical work, which, SO far as can b,
seen, is of no practical value. Thes,
clerks have been assigned to duties con
nected with the legitimate work of the
| bureau.
| The evidence of the need of this addi-
tional assista ce is shown by the fact that
| in some divisions of the office the accumu-
lation of evidence one to two years old was
found to have never been applied to pend
| ing cases.
Mr.. Murphy believes that among the
95@ 900 pensioners on the rolls of the bu'
reau there are many fraudulent cases, and
with the view of purging the list of such
cases as can be found he has issued an or
der 10 the special examiners in the field
directing them to use all diligence IN search
| ing out such evidence as requires the atten
| ton of the bureau.

No Danger OF the Fairs Causing an Over
supply Of Silver or Currency.

CmIcAGo. April 27.-The Chicago banks
need fear no glut in the supply of silver OF
small currency, caused by the Worlds Fair
Several months ago such fear was enter
tanned, and the banks united in request OF
the exposition directors to take steps where
by an oversupply of silver would be
averted.
At that time it was understood that there
would be no admission tickets to the fair
hut that every body who entered the gates al
Jackson Park would drop half-dolar in
the box at the gate. This plan has been
abandoned for the ticket PLAN and Horace
| Tucker, superintendent of the bureau OF
admission, thinks that each days result viii
show but little silver taken in. Mr.. Tucker
said yesterday that of the $500 taken in a
the gates last Sunday, not more than 500
was in silver.

the Fair together, and they present bill
instead of small change to the ticket seller
