SILENT, BUT ALERT.

Partisan Detectives Are Not Snowy
and Therefore More Efficient.
Partisan thief-takers are chiefly no.
ticable for an exceptionally ordinary
appearance, if one may use the express
sion. It is rather disappointing at
first sight to any one who knows de-
tective literature: but to look ordin-
airy and not to be so is obviously g.
great merit in the business, when you
come to think OF it. One of them pulls
out of his pocket a specimen of the
homely instrument which does duty
for handouts among these men.
They call it g. cabriolet, or more
correctly, ligoette, and it consists of
some twenty inches of whipcord, with
a. small piece ofwood at either end.
The cord is passed around the prison
er's wrists and twisted together. The
thing is more efficient than might
be supposed, and your true
Parisian> thief taker takes q
certain pride in using simple means.
He is great at ready-made and in
genious devices. One plan with a
troublesome captive is to take off one
of his boots, which makes him limp;
another is to unfasten his clothes so
that he is obliged to use at least one
hand in holding them up.
The men make their own ligottes,
and sometimes produce more for
midable article by using strong wire in
loops instead of whipcord. But the
real master hand disdains even the
ligoette; he carries nothing whatever,
no matter where he goes. With the
majority OF the criminals his mere
personal influence sufices to impose
obedience, and when ne meets with g.
desperate character he prefers to trust
to his good right hand rather than
any weapon of offense.

EAGLE AND DOG DUEL,

the Dog Came Out Ahead.
II saw a battle between an eagle
and bulldog last Spring." said John
H. Fitzjames, member OF the Time
Killers Club, who was wearing away
a dull Sunday in the corridors of the
Laclede, says the Globe Democrat.
II was as Pocatelle, Idaho. Back of
the hotel was a large lot, in which
were number Of chickens and big
bulldog. An eagle swooped down up
on a portly Shanghai rooster, but
missed him, and the feathered Nor
mon ran squawking into the carriage
shed, where Towser was taking q
snooze. The bird of freedom was not
inclined to miss his dinner, and fol.
lowed after.
"The racket raised Towser, and he
gave battle to the big bird. The
eagle beat him with his wings and tore
him with his, claws, and the dog drew
back as though he had made mis-
take. He walked around the eagle,
looking for a safer point of ATTACK,
but the king of birds was on the alert.
''He was inclined to force the fight
ing, and with wicked scream flew at
the dog, fastened his claws into his
back and tried to lift him into the air,
but found him too heavy. Towser
had recovered from his surprise, and
soon had the eagles head in chancery.
A couple of vicious bites, and the en-
blem of freedom was dead upon an
unpoetical dunghill. He made q game
fight, but was outclassed."

peasant in less than five hours.
One great feature of this "ski" sport,
that requires both courage and great
SIKH, is the ability to take long flying
leaps. The jumping is done from
steep hillsides, with slope Of 10 deg.
or more. One man has a record Of
jumping ninety-nine feet and to have
kept his balance when he landed.
Adopted by the Army.
But it is not for sport alone the
"ski' is used in Scandinavia. Both in
Sweden and Norway the ''ski' have
been introduced in the army. 1t has
been found that in times of war 3
corp of soldiers equipped with these
could harass and overcome an enemy
far easier than if compelled to march
the usual way through a snow-covered
country where roads are an unknown
luxury. These 'ski'' corps are kept
in active practice during the winter
season. Mail carriers are all provided
with their ''ski," and can be seen slid
ing through the villages with great ami
nation.

with short club. Reindeer, elk and
wolf are also pursued and killed by
hunters on their ski"
There have been some efforts made
to introduce these long and slender
snowshoes in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, and there appears to be no reason
why this sport should not flourish In
this country.

In Scandinavia, especially in Norway,
the snowshoes are OF an entirely diff
ferent construction from what the
American is familiar with, and are
used as matter of necessity as well
as for pleasurable recreation. At a
first glance an uninitiated person, &C
customed to the American snOwshoe,
would unhesitatingly pronounce the
Norwegian priduct an unwieldy affair.

ARAD MEASURE KILLED.

The bill providing for the reduction
Of taxation for State purposes and the
raising Of the levy for school purposes
was very properly killed In committee
Yesterday. IL provided for the reduc-
ton Of the State levy from 95 cents to
90 cents and the raising Of the school
levy from 10 cents to Is cents. While
the measure looked like a simple re-
arrangement Of taxation without any
increase, 10 was really an attempt TO
.beed" a few Of the richer counties
unlustly for the benefit Of the rest. The
result in Ohio county, for instance,
would practically have been 20 increase
the tax rate about 10 per cent,
without any Increase in the benefits re
coiyed.
A bll should now be introduced to
lower the levy for State purposes as
proposed and allowed to 60 at that,
without other provision.
IN the constitutional amendment 20
do away with the irreducible school
fund is submitted and ratified then we
can reduce instead Of increase the
school levy, the deficiency furnishing
an excellent use for the fund for num-
Der Of years.
Above all, we want 10 Juggling with
.he taxes We want them reduced.

SESSION OF TIE SENATE.
The Tax Levy Bill KILLED in the Upper
House

House.
Special Telegram 10 the RICHTER.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, February A.
The Senate session this morning was
very brief. 1t was opened with prayer
by Rev. J. w. McGarvey, Jr.
Senator Stewards bill to prevent per-
sons not citizens of the State from act
ing as police or place officers therein,
otherwise known as the anti-Pinkerton
bill, was taken up out OF its regular or
der and passed.
Senator Tarr's bill to make the fran
chise of bridge companies a part Of
their assets was also taken up out OF or
der and passed.
The bill decreasing the State tax for
general purposes from 25 to 20 cents on
the Sl0O valuation, and increasing the
school levy from 10 to Is cents, was re-
ported unfavorably by the Committee
on Taxation and Finance. The Ques-
tion being on its rejection the Senate
by viva voce vote concurred
in the action OF the commit
tee. A similar measure is pending
in the House, and will come up on its
third reading next week. 1t Is not
thought, however, that the measure will
ever become a law, as it is supported
only by members from the poor coun-
ties. which it would benefit most by the
increase in the school levy, and these
members lack the numerical strength TO
push the measure through.
After reading number OF unimport-
ant bills a first time, the Senate az
| journed until Monday morning.

tiOnS.
Delegate COnrad's bill to require life
insurance companies TO pay full value

and fraud, will be reported adversely.
The opponents of the bill argue that it
will make a one-sided agreement.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussion Of the bill to empower the Gov
ernor 10 appoint special constsbeS for
police regulations whenever, in his
opinion, bhey are necessary TO keep or
der in any county. There was strong
opposition, especially on the part OF Re-

WAsHINGTos, d. c., February A.
There has Just been enacted in the

butte to Mr.. Blount, Of Georgia, who re-
tired from Congress at this session.
When the consideration Of the diplo-
matte bill had been completed, MIR. Hol-
man. the Democratic father OF the
House. arose and expressed his sincere
regret that the association OF tweney

eulocies which Mr.. Holman had

Springer and McDresry added their
need OF praise to the ability and patri-
otism OF the retiring member, and
through their speeches runs g vein

B!ount was 50 moved by the testimony
Of the esteem ia which he was held oy

cIared that whatever the future had ia
store for him he would ever look back
70 this honr as the brightest hour Of
his life. The Diplomatic bill was

Ny DEAR SIR beg TO take issue with
YOU In your editorial as to the reduction OF
the school levy 20 . cents 70 reduce the lr-
reducible school fund. Way not increase
the appropriation 20 the different counties
and make the minimum school term SIX
mouths instead Of four.
And after the fund had given out,
what then? We should have either TO
take a step backward and return to the
old method, which would be highly OBJ
jectionable and very difficult Of accom-
plishment, or raise taxation, which
would meet with equal objection and be
equally hard to do. Think it over again,
and we believe you will withdraw your
objection TO the REGISTERS plan.
