A YOUNG sHERLocK HOLMES.
His Old Mans Actions Enabled
Him to Read the Strangers


Detroit Free Press.
A man who could not speak one word
OF English halted a policeman on Madf-
son avenue yesterday and apparently
made some inquiry. The officer shook
his head to signify that he did not un-
derstand, and the man INDUCED in
many vigorous gestures to try to make
his question clear. Time after time
the officer failed to catch on, and time
after time the man went through the
same pantomime. Both were badly
discouraged when a small boy came
out of a grocery with dozen eggs in
a paper bag and halted to say:
Cant you get on TO his curves"
cant understand a thing" replied
the officer.
again, this time for the boys benefit.
and when he had finished the latter
said:
It's jest as easy as fallin' down.
When he goes this way he means he
wants an ak handle. When he goes so
he means he wants some needles and
thread for his WIFE
But he had still another motion.
and 1 can't for the life of me make it
out, replied the officer. 'See-he's at
it nowl"
That's dead easy, too,'' said the boy,
after watching the gestures. After
he's got the ak han'le and notions he
wants sunthin' in a bottle to take
home, and by the way he clicks his
tongue you kin be sure it's whisky in
stead of butternilk. Lands alive. but

The Clark Tax Case.

Judge Smith took up the personal
tax suit against n. P. Clark yesterday
afternoon, but, after taking the testi-
mony of the defendant, adjourned un-
til June 20 in order TO obtain further
evidence. Y. ]. Welch, for N. P.
Clark, asked permission to put in an
amended answer, stating that at the
time of the assessment, 1884, n. P.
Clark owned no property in Hennepin
county, except as a member of the
firm of Clark & Mcclure. The firm
was then taxed for horses and farm
implements, but the tax was really
levied on logs also, which were taxed
at st. Cloud, and the tax paid there.
The amendment was allowed, over the
states objection.

A caller dropped into the Bright

intense, though possibly hypocritical,
admiration Near by stood another

end, through which loops of strong
] rope had been so fastened as to make
! good serviceable handles.
This is about the greatest crisis OF

Nicollet avenue merchants. as days

their attitude toward the paving

Nicollet avenue merchants might
wake up some morning to find the
old boards and planks doing duty
as a corduroy road burned to ashes

use of passing teams.
NicoIlet avenue merchants held a
meeting yesterday afternoon at
which it developed that the sur
mise of the Times yesterday morn
ing concerning the bluff the asphalt
company was putting UP on the peo-
pie was in reality true. None
of the local representatives of the
asphalt company knew anything
about the matter, not even when the
asphalt plant would be shipped.
The bluff was punctured by some of
the merchants who are conversant
with the territory traversed by the
Erie Dispatch. 1t is claimed that

for the Same Man.
New York Sun.
An odd incident occurred here Iasg
week. as a man began building a house
Tor another for whom thirty-two years
ago he erected a gallows. The man
was tried for killing another, was
found guilty and sentenced to be-
hanged. When the facts were laid be-
for Gov. Stanford he commuted his SEN.
tence to brief term in prison. The re-
lease from death, however, did not
come until within an hour and half
OF the moment of execution.
The man in Jail was a young Ger
man who at Magalia had killed a fell
low countryman in self-defense on cleo
ton day. He saw the gallows built
and watched the rope adjusted, but
when all the preparations were COM
pleted and the time nearly up an ex-
press rider brought a Communication OF
the prisoners sentence. After a short
term in prison he returned to the
mines, and this summer came back to
Oroville, where last week he empIoyed
the same man TO build his house who
thirty years ago built the gallows on
which he was to be hanged.

IN charge Of the forecasting office
OF the weather bureau at Chicago,
mas been selected as chief of the
weather bureau to succeed Prof.
harrington, whose removal was an
nounced by the Associated Press
yesterday. The appointment is
strictly in the line of civil service.
as Prof. Moore has been a lifelong
empIoye in the service He is a Re-
publican, and was born forty-one
years ago. He had no political back
ing for the office and the announce
ment of his appointment will be the
hrSt lntimation to him that his Sc
lection has been considered by the
president and Secretary Morton. He
received the first appointment for
the signal service when twenty-one
years old, and has been with it and
the weather bureau ever since. He
was educated at the signal service

and ranked second in a graduating

cial mention from Secretary Rusk.
MOORE STOOD HIGHEST.
Last year there was a competitive
examination for weather bureau
professorship, in which thirty sci
entific experts and forecasters strove
for the office. The ten candidates
standing highest were selected for
forecast work at the bureau in
Washington. Prof Moore ranked
highest. He submitted a comprehen-
sive essay on the best methods for
making forecasts of the weather,
and the awards were made by a COM
mittee consisting of Prof Menden-
hall, late chief. of the coast and geo
detic survey; Prof. Harrington,
whom Prof. Moore now succeeds,
and Maj. Dunwoody, assistant chief
of the weather bureau. Soon after
wards Prof. Moore was sent to Chi
cago and placed in charge of that
station. The press of that city has
been unanimous in commencing his
work. He made a phenomenal rec
ord last March in ordering 130 cold
wave signals, of which 115 were veri-
fed by the waves themselves. He
also accurately predicted the severe
cold wave which passed over Florida
during last December and ruined the
orange crop. During last January,
February and March his forecasts
resulted in displaying signals for
thirty severe winter storms on Lake
Michigan, and twenty-seven were
practically verified. He is regarded
here as one of the most expert men
in the service, and officials point to
the record he has already made as
proof of his qualification for the new
duties
