BIGGEST POLICE FORCE.
Leavenworth Needs "a Men on tho Po-
lice Force While Topeka Has ~.

Leavenworth Needs "a Men on tho Po-
lice Force While Topeka Has 81
Leavenworth is either an awfully law
less place, or more policemen are being
maintained there than are necessary. 1t
has "a policemen for its $4,000 people,
while Topeka needs but 81, counting ev-
ervbody connected with the force, for its
$4,000 population.
There is a row in Leavenworth because
there is an empty city treasury. and some
people are maintaining that the police
force ought to be reduced.
The Leavenworth Times gives the
force there as follows: The total force
consists of 81 patrolmen. day and
night sergeant, chief, l captain, l pa
troll driver, 2 detectives, sanitary 9TH
GERS, jailer, guard, matron, besides
the police Judge. Altogether there are
"a people ON the pay roll.
The Topeka force consists of II pa
trolmen, 2 sergeants, / chief, l captain,
l patrol driver ] special, 1 matron, Z
jailers, 1 guard; total, 81.
There are more patrolmen in Leav-
enworth, more special, or detective, but
only one jailer.
1t seems odd that Leavenworth should
need more policemen than town OF 49,
600 more population.

AMERICAN CITIZENS HELD.
Four Residents of New York Seized and
Kept by British 1Ian-of-VVar.

Four Residents of New York Seized and
Kept by British SIan-of-IVar.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-By letter from
Nassau, Island of New Providence in
the Bahamas, comes cry from four cit
liens of New York, Geraldo Domenoch,
Severino Galvez. Branfio Pena and An
thony n. Ruiz, who claim that they are
illegally held on board a British man of
war.
They are accused of planning a mill
tary expedition to Cuba. They protest
their Innocence.
The letter was written by Ruiz to a
friend in Brooklyn. When, with his
three friends, he arrived at Inagua, the
commander of the British war ship Part
ridge, he writes, sent force to take them
on board and carried them to Nassau.
At the time of writing they had been
in Nassau more than two weeks but
their case had not come up for trial. Mr.
Ruiz is a member of citizens league
of Brooklyn and was active in the over
throw of John Y. McKane. Before he
came to this country he was a captain in
the Cuban army, which fact leads his
friends TO suspect that his departure
from New York was reported by Spanish
spies.
They claim that they were simply Wis
iting the country; that they had rented
a house on the island of 1nagua, that
they intended to spend some time there
fishing and hunting.

KENO IN THE PULPIT.
Rev, Toombs Dubose Causes a Sensation in
Jacksonville.


jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 21.-Rev. R.
Toombs Dubose, pastor of McIyeire Me-
mortal, the aristocratic Southern Metho-
dist church of Jacksonville, created a
sensation Sunday night by arranging
keno layout on the pulpit and showing
his congregation how the game was
played.
For several weeks Rev. Mr.. Dubose has
been attacking the city municipals, al
leging that they were in league with the
gamblers. Sunday night he began his
remarks by stating that he had learned
that city official was partner of keno
game which was opened here last week.
"You may not know what keno is,"
said the preacher, "but will show you"
Then he reached down and got the keno
implements and placed them on the pull
pit. He then showed how the game was
played and explained how profitable 1t
was to the city official who was inter
ested.
Mr.. Dubose's methods have caused
great sensation. He is grandson OF
Robert Toombs, the famous Georgian.

It Begins with the Wedding March and
Ends With Divorce.

People who are married want divorces.
and those who are divorced want the de-
cree set aside, is what two cases fled last
evening in the district court tell.
Mrs. August Lewis isn't bit romantic
or she would have waited until today to
file her divorce petition. They were
married year ago today. Mrs. Lewis
is the daughter of Chris. Schmidt, who
was recently convicted by Lewis of sell
ing liquor.
On April 2, 1892, John W. Moore se-
cured divorce from his wife. She now
wants the decree set aside. She says he
allowed her but one small piece of prop
erty which was fully covered by a mort
gage which has since been foreclosed.
She SAYS he is worth $4,000 TO $4,000.

In this issue will be found commu-

cuted, the bene6ciaries would receive
several septilions of stamps. Suppose
for brevity, there should be one septil.
lion. Now suppose two thousand stamps
can be made from one sheet of paper so
x 4S. 1t would take 5000 quintillion
sheets. Say one thousand sheets weigh
100 pounds. There are 1000, 900 stamps
to the hundred weight. Thus it will be
seen that the ultimate limit, if it were
possible to carry it out, would reach %
quadrillion tons of stamps. To carry
1000 tons would require train of cars
mile long. To carry all the stamps
would require six and quarter trillions
OF such trains. Counting the circumfer.
ence Of the world at $4,000 miles, we
have it wrapped round and round 25O
million times by this prodigious train.
1t is possible to lay 400 tracks to the
mile, allowing each the usual space of a
fraction over thirteen feet To accom-
nodate the entire number OF tracks
which must wind around this world to
carry this train of stamps with forty
tons to the car, the world, at its present
equatorial diameter would have to be
drawn ont into cylinder 650000 miles
in length. 1t would take nearly two
hundred worlds like this to hold the
