high, railroad employe crossed the
track, swinging tin dinner pail.
"What's the matter?" he asked of one
of the crowd. The situation was ex-
planned to him. Everything had been
tried, his informant said, and they
were waiting for crowbar.

The money value of hands and

an interesting estimate by one of the
German miners accident insurance
companies. According to this the loss
of both hands represents loss of 100
per cent. efficiency, or. in other words.
the whole ability to earn living.
Losing the right hand depreciates the
value of an individual as q worker
seventy to eighty per cent, while the
loss of the left hand represents from
sixty to seventy per cent. CT the earn
lngs of both hands. The thumb is
reckoned to be worth from twenty to
thirty per cent. of the earnings, the
first finger Of the right hand is valued
at from fourteen to eighteen per cent !;
that of the left hand, at from eight to
1873 per cent. The middle finger is
valued ut no more than from seven to
nine per cent, while the little finger
is worth from nine to twelve per cent
The difference in the percentages, it is
explained, is occasioned by the differ

"The Investigations of DR.. Park
hurst and the Lexow Committee make
it reasonably certain that in the past
thirty years New York's police force
has levied and collected 500, 600, 900
blackmail. The shady houses in New
York have paid in hush money!" esti-
mates the Atlanta Constitution, "S$3, :
45O, 900 year to the police officials.
The blood money paid by the green
goods men amounts to $l4, 900 per an
mum. The policy writer's have paid
the police $l9, 200 year. A con-
servative estimate shows that the
gamblers have paid s72, 900 year for
this unlawful protection. About two
thousand merchants pay $4,000 a
year for the privilege of obstructing
the sidewalks with their goods. The
saloon keepers pay about 81, $50. 900 q
year to escape prosecution for their
violations of law. The evidence shows
that this blackmail has been levied
for thirty years, and at the lowest es-
innate it must amount to 500, 900, 900,
and it may possibly run $50, 900, 900
above that sum. Such q chapter of
municipal corruption has never before
been exposed. And yet it must be adj
mitted that New York has many po-
lice officers and privates who are as
honest, brave and efficient as any in
the land. But the corrupt conduct of
others has brought the entire force
under suspicion. Naturally, the scan
dal has encouraged the lawless classes,
and they are loud in their clamor
against the police. In the interests
of law and order it is to be hoped that
there will be a thorough and speedy
reform. 1t would be n calamity TO the
