POLICE DISCARD UNIFORMS
Chicago Officers in Citizens Clothes Do
Better Work.

CHICAGO, Oct. So.-Few citizens who
were detained down town late last night
escaped giving strict account of them
selves. Requests of this nature were all
the more startling for the reason that
they came from men who gave no out
ward indications that they had any right
to make them.
1t was all on account of a new order of
thinge that has been introduced in the
police department, and which it is hoped
will have the effect of putting stop to
the numerous hold-ups, and highway
robberies that have been taking place
of late.
Nearly the entire night force
of officers in the business por-
ton of the city were
Invested of their uniforms and sent
to travel in plain 'citizen's' clothes. The
results 80 far have been most satisfactory,
several well known crooks and conf
dence men having fallen into the net.
This manner of police werk will be
Kept up as long as the city is infested as
il is al present by gang of thieves.

SEEKING A BIG ESTATE.
An Immense Fortune of American
Songht by Ranch ReIntixes.


CHICAGO, Oc: 30.-City officials are
arrived here a few days ago from Amiens.
France. 1t was directed to "Monsieur
LePresideut. de la Chamber des Notaires,
Chicago, Amerique," bat as there is no
cham Der of notaries In this city, the pos
tai clerk concluded to try the county
clerk, and the letter was turned over to
him.
In brief the letter said, Several French
newspapers aud particularly the papers
of Havre, made the announcement in
1882 that the famous American chemist,
John Gundey, one of the richest men in
Ohio. had left his immense fortune of
SI5.00O,O00 to Frenchman named
Jacques Boyer"
A dispatch announces that the JOY ex-
periencd on the receipt of the news
of his legacy overcame him
and he soon followed his
benefactor to the grave. Boyer lived in
Chicago, and originated in Normandy,
bat at that time knew only of his par
ents."
Then follows a list of questions con-
left, the name of the person who took
charge of il, also concerning John Gun
dey, aud lastly comes the question, "Was
there a real fortune?" In closing Mr.
Podsvin saws that if there was real
fortune, and Jacques Boyer is really
dead, then the town of Amiens will be
greatly benefited, for it would be his
heir
DIligent search of the records of Cook
county and the city of Chicago for the
past twenty five years. do not disclose
the existence of any such estate; there is
no record of the death of John Gundey.
and the musty files are equally bare of
any record of Jacques Boyer.

THE DOMINATING SPIRIT.

which Ruled the Reed Mckinley Con-
grcss OF 1890.
That is qualified expression which
comes from the Massachusetts republic
ans ON the tariff question. They
want steps taken toward tariff revision,
but insist that they do not want the
republican party committed to any
specific measure or any particular
policy moving in that direction.
II the Massachusetts, republicans had
mustered enough candor to say pub
licly what the men who manipulated
them were thinking, it would have
been such deliverance as this: Don't
reaflrm the principle of the Mckinley
law In specific phrase and exact degree.
The country has repndiated 1t once and
will certainly do SO again, and the re-
publican party as well II 1t again de-
clares for it. And do not nominate
Mckinley. The most conservative
tariff platform IL would be possible to
make would be unavailing to save US
from defeat II the nomination of Nc
Kinley were made its accompaniment
There is trick worth dozen of that
Declare for protection of American
industry and American labor in gem
eral and tumultuous terms. Nominate
on that platform some man who Is en-
tirely colorless on the question, and
then, II we win, we can pass law
even more drastic than the Mckinley
bill made, which our president will
sign and through which our friends
f,,, de
can get their money back"
Massachusetts, republicans have
never been particularly friendly to
Maine candidates for the presidency,
yet it is almost impossible to avoid the
conclusion that this time they are act
ing in the interest of Mr.. Thomas
Reed. But is not Reed as deep In pro-
lection mud as Mckinley Is in the mire
of that odious principle OF government
Reed was the dominating spirit OF the
Reed-McKinley congress Of 1s9o.--St.
Louis Republic.
