A rrests and Fines Imposed During the Month
Of February
Secretary Cottle is just completing the
summary of work done by the police in all
departments during the month of Febru-
ary. In the twenty.nine days 500 arrests
were made and fines to the extent of
$1O71 were imposed in the police courts.
OF the arrests eight were for burglary,
thirteen for battery, twenty-four for petty
larceny; violating the "lottefyN ordinance,

343 miles were covered in making
this number of trips. while 277 prisoners
were taken to headquarters, fourteen to
the county Jail, nineteen to the receiving
hospital. By the detective department
sS13 worth of stolen property was recov-
cred and restored to the proper owners.
The sum of S5967O is estimated to have
been saved by the city by having the meals
for the prisoners cooked in the Jail instead
of being contracted for on the outside.
Besides better quality of food is secured,
and the purity and freshness of all articles
is assured. Jailor Siewecke takes great
pride in his kitchen, and is always
pleased to show visitors the culinary ar
rangements. Everything is of good quail
ity and we'll cooked, and not man that
enters the Jail who stays for any length of
time but gains in weight during his term.

The enormous unarmored cruiser
Terrible, recently built on the Clyde
by the British navy, maintained a
speed OF twenty knots an hour on her
recent maiden trip from Glasgow to
Portsmouth, and it Is asserted that her
maximum speed was twenty-four knots
which is certainly remarkable in view
of her size and length-14, 200 tons
and 500 feet respectively. Not less
remarkable is the Terrible's coal-car-
rying capacity, enabling her to steam
%, 600 miles without recoaling. Her
sister ship, the Powerful, is soon to be
in commission, and then the British Adj
miralty may claim to hold the worlds
record in this class of vessels. The
naval experts are not satisfied, how
ever, notes the New York Sun. They
are still crying aloud for more men,
more quick-fring guns, and such-like
things, which, OF course, mean
more money. The leader of
the indictments, Captain LORD, Charles
Beresford, loses no opportunity of
warning Englishmen that they are liv-
ing in FOOLS paradise, and being de-
ceived by the very people who ought
to tell them the whole truth. No
doubt, he says, we are gradually rene
dying the grave defect of too few
ships, but what is the good of building
ships if you don't at the same time
increase the number Of men? This
distinguished critic pledges his We
racity as n man that if war were de.

warships would have to remain in port
for lack of sailors and stokeTs to mar
them, and this for the sole reason tina

sary expenditure, and SO keep th,
strength OF the navy's personnel below

Origin Of County Lines.

Every state in this country, except
Louisiana, which is still divided into
parishes, has counties, even Rhode
Island, which would be lost in the
corner of a Texas county, having five,
and Delaware, which is not much big
ger, possessing three of these minor
political subdivisions. It cannot be
doubted that the county system is the
expression of the love of our people
for local self-goyernment, the right
to manage their neighborhood affairs
in their own way. The system itself,
however, was borrowed from England,
where the county lines often follow
those of ancient Saxon kingdoms.
The same curious circumstance may
also be noted in Germany, France and
Italy, where the provincial and de-
partmental boundaries frequently
mark the limits of principalities,
dukedoms and kingdoms that many
years ago lost their individuality by
being merged into the larger state. -

Statist facetiously remarks, "could

that the metal exists in great album

THAT BOND BEPORT..
1t May be Made by the lnvestiga+-
ing Committee During. the
Campaign.

Washington, D. G. July 16.-Senator
Harris; chairman of the Senate commit
tee to investigate recent bond issues, says
he has not yet determined whether the
committee will wait until fall before go
ing on with it's investigation or whether
it will complete the work, frame the re-
port and make it public this summer.
This last meeting adjourned subject to-
the call of the chairman and the present
purpose is to wait until fall before CON-
tinuing the inquiry, but Senator Harris
says that conditions may arise, incident
to the campaign, that would make it de-
sirable to present all the facts and the
report to the public ut once. In doing
this he added, no political motives would
be involved, and the only purpose would
be to clear up doubts and unfounded
charges growing out of the excitement
arising from Il national contest. The
chairman says that if public misappre-
hension should arise ON bond questions, it
would be proper to give the public the
amplest information without reference
to whsm it would benefit or iniure.
