DIR. ARTHUR MCDONALD, the Wash
ington criminologist, thinks that every
man, woman and child in the country
should be measured according to the
Bertillon system and the resulting
data preserved by a government bureau,
with branches in every township
This, he says, would put an end to
crime by making detection practically

THE most conspicuous feature of the
Cuban war appears to be the dynamite
gun which the insurgents obtained
from this country. In every account
of engagements between the Spaniards
and the Cubans it's destructive work
has been the decisive factor in the
winning of victories. The Spanish
soldiery have been unable to with
stand it's devastating fire.

NOBILlTY'S HEAD COVERING.

A baron's crown is a.velvet cap, with
.rrnine border. but the coronet differs
from that of the viscount in having
eight pearls on the upper rim instead Of
IA. the latter number being the allow
ance of the viscount. In France the
pearls are usually arranged in sets of
three.
The Greeks gave crown of laurel to
the victor in the Pythian games, but
The victor in the Olympian games had
crown of wild olives, the victor in the
Semean games a crown of green parsley,
md the victor in the Isthmian games n
crown Of dry parsley or green pine
leaves.
According to the most reliable Eng
fish historians, Alfred the Great, in 1872,
vas the first English sovereign to wear
L crown. From early inscriptions and
historical records it appears that the
saxon kings before the time of Alfred
wore simply band of pearls around the
head as mark OF royal power.

A LOCOMOTIVE designed to run 200
miles an hour has just been completed
at the Baldwin locomotive works in
Philadelphia 1t is said that the loco
motive in n speed trial made 12o miles
an hour without the least trouble. In
appearance the locomotive resem bles a
street car. There is a cowcatcher in
front, on which rests the headlight.
The mechanism is underneath, between
the wheels, and little of it is visible. A
third rail is required to make the new
motor engine serviceable, and because
of this its introduction is likely to be
postponed for some time.

1t is estimated that new consti-
tution would cost the state of Kan
sas 800, 600 OF this sum $500, 600
would be spent holding the convention,
and the subsequent expense of inter
preting the laws enacted under it
would aggregate more than $500, 900.

1t was provided in the policy that suit must
loss occurred to entitle the holder of the pol
icy to recover Judgment. In this case the
loss was adjusted within the year, but suit
was not brought, and Stiffen claimed that the
adjustment operated waiver of the pro-
vision requiring that suit be brought within
the year.
Judge Brill finds that while the adjustment
bound the company as to the amount of the
loss, 1t did not wipe out the one-year rule.
The court finds that it is determined that by
reason Of the one years limitation contained
in the policy Stiffen is barred from main
tanning any action upon the policy and from
claim is disallowed. The court adds, in a
memorandum:
81 do not wish to be understood as holding
that an adjustment may not be made under
such circumstances that 1t may raise the i'm
plication Of promise to pay, so that an action
may be maintained directly upon 1t without
reference to the stipulations and conditions OF
the policy. But-in this case the fact stipu-
lated is merely that the amount of the
less and damage by. said fire was adjusted at
the sum of 81, 1885, Nothing else appears in
the case regarding the adjustment. This
would bind the company, as to the amount
of the loss and damage caused by the fire,
but it is not an adjustment of the liability Of
the company, and without something further
1t would not suPercede all the other condi-
tions of the policy, especially in view of the
provision above quoted from the policy"

CHRISTIAN ON THE STAND.
He Tells Of the Alleged Indebted
ness of KittsOn

The taking of testimony in the case Of
Hercules L. kittson against Charles e.
Christian for the recovery of the Brunswick
hotel property completed last night and
the case will be argued before Judge Willis
this morning. In his testimony yesterday
Christian said that Kittson owed him ST., 900
in December, 1884, and that the property was
decided to him two months later to balance
the account. He admitted that the property
was worth more than that but said that
was all he would give him for it. He thought
1t might be worth $1S0 900. The money he
claimed Kittson owed him had been advanced
from time to time on notes, and there had
been number of I. o. us. Witness had
kept no books, and when the deed was given
the notes and 1. o. us had been turned
over to Kittson, so there was no record of
the transactions.
Kittson was placed on the stand in rebuttal
and denied that he had ever given Christian
a note for one dollar Christian had figured
up the account in December, 1894, and made
a memorandum a card to the effect that
the amount due was s., 400. Kittson gave him
5000 then and there, and this amount was
credited on the card, leaving a balance of
S400 due. This card was received in evidence.
1t was not signed by Christian, but he ad-
mitted that it looked like his handwriting
At the time that this settlement took place
Kittson had $4,000 to $25, 900 In cash and
bank stock under his control besides larger
amount Of other property. But 1t had all
been spent since in living. Not only this
but he admitted that large number of judg-
ments have been piled up against him in the
bargain. He said the last of his money was
spent four or five months ago.

In September, 1893, the plaintiff as Sc
curity for debt payable in September, 1894
executed to defendant a mortgage on crops
of grain to be raised on the defendants farm
during the season of 1894. By the terms of
the mortgage the mortgagor was to remain
In possession as long as its covenants and
conditions were fulfilled, but 1t was also
provided that If the mortgagor should make
any attempt to I. dispose of the property,
thereupon the mortgagor should have the
right to take possession. ;g-s-s -

WRIT.
A POINT IN INSURANCE LAW.
Judge Brill Makes a Ruling on the
Weight of an Adjuster's Re-
port.

Judge Willrich, in the probate court, yes
terday, heard and denied an application for
an allowance of 1000, or such lesser sum as
might be thought necessary, from the estate
of Patrick Kelly to defray the expenses of
securing experts with view to having Kel-
ly's mental condition tested when the hearing
on the writ of habeas corpus for his release
from the insane asylum comes up in the
United States court tomorrow. Judge Will
rich said that the probate court is the only
authority that can restore Kelly to capacity
inasmuch as it has appointed guardian for
him. Therefore the probate court will be call
ed upon to pass on the case ultimately, even
if he should be found by the examination in
the United States court to be sane. The
probate court is competent to pass upon the
question of his sanity, and Judge Willrich
could see no occasion for increasing the ex-
pense by dividing the work. He set April %
as the day for examining into the question
of Kellys sanity.

FINDLAN AND THE OMAHA.
He Now Begins an Action for DAM
ages.

John T. Findlan has begun suit against
the Omaha road to recover $4,000 damages
for the loss of leg. The plaintiff alleges that
he was in the employ of the defendant COM
pany as locomotive engineer; that his engine
was allowed to get out Of repair so that it
had fiat wheel, and that while he had his
head out of the cab window watching the
wheel he was struck on the head by a tenn
pcrary brace that was supporting the Burr
street bridge He was knocked from his cab
and run over, one of his legs being cut off.
This was in February, 1890, and the follow
ing January he entered into an agreement
with the company whereby he gave it a re-
lease in consideration Of $500 and a. further
oral agreement that he was to be given per-
manent employment as an engineer on the
company's road.
June 80, 1894, the relation Of the employer
and employe ceased. He subsequently brought
an action to compel the company to retain
him in its employ. He says that when this
suit came on for trial he discovered for the
first time he alleges, that the release he had
given the company had been changed, some
body having added a clause after it had
been executed This addition was a state
ment to the effect that no consideration had
been given for the release other than that
named therein, which was $500. He therefore
lost that suit, and now sues for damages.

SHE HAS THE CHILDREN,
Mrs. Writ H. Kelley EIudes Her
Husbands Writ.

Writ H. Kelley yesterday secured from
Judge Brill a writ of habeas corpus COM
manding his wife, Mabel Kelley, to bring
into court at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
their two children, aged four and five years,
respectively. In his application for the writ
Kelley claimed that his wife had deserted
him and was about to take the children out
of the city; that she is woman of violent
temper and frequently maltreated the little
ones, threatening even to kill them at times,
ana that she was without means to support
them. A deputy sheriff went to the place
Kelley said the woman had been stopping
but was told that she was not there The
officer had no means Of identifying her, so
he came away. When he went back again
prepared to identify her, the house was
locked and he could find no trace of her. 1t
was thought she had fled the town. The
couple came here from Denver.
