DETECTIVE CORPS NEEDS
Increase in the Forcs to Be Urged
at This Session.
City Has OutgrOwn the Size of
the Department.

Inspector Hollinberger spoke warmly
last night of the needs and the ambitions OF
the detective corps. He emphasized two
facts-first, that a larger force is de-
manded; and, second, that the present
force Is the most efficient corps for Its
size in the United States. 1t is understood
around headquarters that the District Com
missioners are heartily in sympathy with
the wishes OF the police Heutenants and
the recognized needs OF the department.
Washington required a greater number
OF men on the detective force, not because
the present force Ia shirking its duty, but
because the city has outgrOwn the force,
and the eXactions made OF each man are
too heavy. --
The Inspector said that the Washington
detective corps will bear favorable COM
parson with any other In the country
and he quoted the figures to prove 1t.
OF the property reported as lost two
thirds OF it Is recovered, and then it must
be borne in mind>ltbat some property is
reported lost which is not lost. The
records of the department show that two
thirds OF the value of property reported
stolen Is recovered and that two-thirds
OF the thieves are convicted. This is
higher and better showing than can be made
in any other city in the country, and Wash
ington should feel proud of its guardians.
Washington has small element OF
great criminals. Great criminals are in
one way easier to handle than their petty
brethren, because they are better known.
and they work systems by which they can
be frequently Identified. Washington has
n large element OF petty criminals, and the
efficiency OF the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS largely
upon an acquaintance with these people.
II is thought that "A substa ntiai increase viii

Low WATER THE LAKES
Ontario Below Any Time I'm the Las
twenty-five Years.
(.l..yala nd p1,, indaular,

The low stage of the water on the lakes
In the season now closing caused serious
anxiety on the Canadian side as well as in
this country. The supply in the st. Law
renee River Is SO much less than usual that
rocks hitherto undiscovered have made their
appearance and channels always used-in
safety had to be navigated with extreme
caution or abandoned.
The surface of Lake Ontario has fallen
SO low that the question has been raised
whether tie lake is permanently sinking.
AS a contribution towards a solution of
this important problem, the Toronto Mail
published chart of the fluctuations n the
lake level during the past twenty five
years, reduced from one prepared in the
city engineers department in connection
with the proposed change in the Toronto
system of water supply. The standard
basis of measurement was established be-
tween forty and fifty years ago by the
royal engineers on u rock west OF the
harbor.
The chart shows that both the ma lInum
and minimum stages of water in 1895
are below those of any preceding year in
the twenty-five. The nearest approach
to present conditions was in 1872, when
the highest point reached was four inches
above the datum line and the lowest six
teen below il. The highest point this year
was two inches above the datum and the
lowest thus far twenty-one below. The
highest water was in 1856, when the
minimum was twenty-five inches above and
the maximum forty-siX.
DR.. Dawson, director of the Canadian
geological survey, says he can give no
other explanation of the unusual 10 wness
of the water in the lakes and rivers than
the deficiency of rainfall and the evapora-
ton during the dry periods. For the
last two or three years, at least, the IA in
fall had been unusually light; and this
went in the direction of reducing the volume
of water in the streams to an unusually
low level.
Some years ago he made a computation
of the rise and fall of the waters of Lake
Erie. and from these observations he dis
covered that the water from the year
1898 reached an unusually low level about
every ten years. The Toronto chart of
Lake Ontario levels hardly bears out that
theory SO far as concerns the last quarter
century.
There was a low water stage in 1875.
although not approaching that of the present
year, but in 1856 there was an exceptionally
high stage of water, If the rule applied
to maximum as well as minimum records,
there ought to be water enough next sea son.
as in 1876 and SS6 the Ontario maximum
levels were considerably above those of
all the other years. The prospect Is not
very favorable just now.
The Toronto Mail urges a Canadian
investigation into the causes of the continu-
GUS lowering of the water within the last
settled, II possible, what effect has been
produced on the levels by the removal of
distractions in the channels and what
may be the effect In Canadian waters
of such American works as the Chicago
drainage canal.

Certain Army officers who have appeared
in recent interviews in the newspapers in
discussions of the possibility of war and
outlining their ideas of what should lie
done in such an event have received per-
sonal letters from Secretary of War Lamont
severely deprecating such talk.
Expressions from such source, he says,
are not only given undue Significance, but
they are also injurious to the good reputa-
tion Of the discipline of the Army, and
harmful to the country in contributing to

shoe. A stop was made before a smithy

gaze at the unusual sight of gay coach

The duke and the future duchess de-

walk. They wandered into a country
residence and onto the lawn when the
gruff voice of the country constable
righted them. The duke was warned
that he and his fiancee were tresspass-

DIR. QUIMBY's NEW SUBJECT.
He Lectures in HOboken Upon

Under the auspices of the W. C. T.
U. Society, now a great power in the
country in the line of temperance work,
a large audience gathered in the First
NJ E. Church.. Hoboken, last evening,
to listen to a scientific lecture given
by Dr. I. H. Quimby of this city. The
exercises opened with a selection by a
male quartette from the Baptist Church.
This was followed by the reading of
Scripture by the Rev. Mr.. Finck and
prayer by Pastor Richardson. About
seventy members of the Band of Hope
marched into the church and were given
centre seats. They sang temperance
song.
Mrs. Bush, President of the Hoboken
Auxiliary of the w. c. T. u, who pre-
sided, introduced the speaker, who, in
the use of charts prepared by himself,
showed the pernictous and fatal effects
of alcohol on the human system, re-
ferring especially to the stomach, lungs
ment to show how this poison retards
digestion.
Though a, scientific lecture, yet it
was delivered in such an easy and inter
eSting manner that every child as well
as adult was held close for a full hour.
heartily endorsed the lecture and said
good words for the Union. Then follow
ed a liberal collection, a beautiful solo
by Mrs. F. Butler and the benediction.
The ladies hope to give, in the near
future, another lecture from some able
pronounced success and the ladies are
encouraged.
