HOW PRIVATE DETECTIVES WORK.
False Information Sold to Both Sides
With Blackman as an Incident.

1t is a long while since the courts
have dealt with the private detectives,
and as aresult the men who ply this par
ticularly nefarious trade are becoming
unusually prominent again. They are
advertising extensively, and many of
the old offices, which were shut up when
the crusade against them began in earn
est few years ago, have been reopen
ed and the old shingles hung out again.
The private detectives were driven out
of business by the exposure of the news
papers, says the N. Y. San, and the
strict attitude in the matter taken by
the police. The work of these men is
nearly always sneakish in character.
They make specially of preying upon
the jealousy or suspicious of married
women, and their business is a lucra-
tive one, because, as is generally known
to the police, they almost invariably
sell out to both parties. A woman who
is suspicious of her husband is caught
by the attractive advertisement of one
of these agencies and ventures into the
clutches of the manager of the concern.
She wishes to have her husband shadow
ed, and two men are detailed to watch
his movements. Shadowing is no
longer profitable, and is seldom resort
ed to by the regular police force.
If the detective succeeds in finding
out one or two facts about man that
he would not care to have his wife
know, he makes an arrangement with
him by which all the reports submitted
to her are revised by him. In other
words, he writes the reports, while the
detectives take up some other case.
Their charge is usually 81 day for
each man who is supposed to be shadow
ing victim. So it costs the wife So a
day for report which her husband die
tates, which usually shows him in the
light of pains-taking and unexception-
able husband. The amount which the
husband pays depends upon the ability
of the agency to beat him. 1t has been
proved in scores of instances that the
business is one of blackmail and fraud,
and the police view with some alarm
the great increase in the number of
agencies during the past year.

is being finished from Singapore 10
the island of Labonan, North of Bor-
neo, and thence to Hongkong to con-
meet with the cable system of Eastern
Asia. The third new line, by far the
most important and significant, is the
subsidized British cable started across
the Pacific from Australia to Vancou-
yer, British Columbia, by way of the
Fiji Islands, Samoa and Hawaii. The
first section, from Queensland tc the
island of New Caledonia, is already
laid, and the line will soon be drawn
up on Fiji. Another link to Fiji from
New Zealand northward is well under
way, and the necessary surveys have
been completed to carry it on to Sa-
moa, thence to Hawaii or its neigh
borhood, and finally to Vancouver.
And right there comes in an inter-
esting international question of prime
moment to Americans, though little
appreciated by the average citizen.
Strange as it may appear, while sew
enteen transatlantic cables have been
laid, not a single Pacific cable has
ever before been practically under
projected. Russia long ago contem-
plated line from Siberia to America,
by way of Bering strait, and another
from Kamschatka to Alaska via the
Aleutian Islands, but finally gave up
the idea as Improbable. More re-
Gently Great Britain has maifested an
urgent and growing desire to obtain
cable connections between its Austria
liam and Asiatic dependencies and
Vancouver, while the United States
Government, much more vitality in
terested than Great Britain, has for
some wears had in mind, for obvious
| reasons, a cable line between San
Francisco and Hawaii, Japan and
| China.
American interests in the Pacific
! are so isolated as to demand cable
| communication for their growth and
welfare. Indeed, the advantages of
| such connection from a Governmental
| standpoint cannot be over estimated.
1t is safe to say that the Hawaiian
| troubles of last winter could never
| hav. occurred bad there been instant
cable communication between San
! Francisco and Honolulu. Three years

survey of this route to be made with q
| view TO ascertaining its practicability
| The work was begun forthwith by the
photographic Office of the Navy De
partment, resulting in the discovery
that there is a curiously formed ma
tural lane 800 miles wide extending
all the way from California TO Hawaii
and that a cable can he easily laid il

OBITUARY..
LANES W. RLAIspFLL

Among the prominent men who have held the
Office of county commissioner for Hancock
county during the past half century, probably
no one held that Office for SO many wears as did
James W. Baisdell, who died In Dedham, june
81, at the age Of sixty one years.
In 1865 he was first nominated and elected to
that Office, and for almost twenty years he con
tinued to hold It.
Mr.. Basdell was born in Dedham in lSSS,
and always lived in his native town except a
little more than year that he lived In Ellis
worth He early became familiar with the his
tory and politics Of his country, and while
his public education was confined to the pub
lie schools OF his town. his love for books and
search for knowledge gave him standing among
the educated classes of the community.
These qualities were recognized, and he was
for a number OF years elected supervisor of
schools in pedham. lie held the Office OF town
clerk. and was several times chairman of
the board OF -elcctmeu.
His friends were numerous, and almost the
last words he uttered were al don't know Of
an enemy have on earth"
The funeral services were held ON the old
homestead near where he was born, and as the
day was a hot one, they were held under the
willow in the yard where he had spent 80
many Of the happy DAYS of his life.
