the system under which Whitehead and
Gallagher were convicted, the queens

neither intelligence nor courage.
1t is against the curious idea of Eng

should be in any way secret about his
business. The detective Officers are mere
~ policemen in shooting jackets and billy
cock hats. The great army of criminals
know them as well as they do the gem
eral police. They wear striking clothes,
police regulation Wellington boots; they
walk two together in drill step, recognize
other constables and salute superior off
GERS on the streets. They are announced
half a mile away, putting the guilty on
guard, and they frighten the servant girls
with official questions. Altogether II IS
funny sight to see a regular Scotland
Yard detective go out to detect.
1t is considered mean and underhanded
to go disguised or secretly. Then they
are hampered in various ways "ln1or-
nation received" must be corroborated.
They cannot arrest on suspicion or pu'
questions to a suspect to incriminate nm,
There is a curious entry in the record Oh
Great Scotland Yard which reads
''The murderer is known and located
but evidence is insufficient to make an
arrest
This is probably truthful entry, ana
one that dos not strike the average Eng
lishman as funny. While the corroboraI-
ing evidence is being collected the suspect
escapes. The detective" goes about IN

the same-by the informer system. They

Der that man once arrested by ScotlaAl

sure to be good enough to stick.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 1?.-It is
not at all unlikely that combination

Republicans, National Democrats and
Populists in some of the Southern

from Alabama, Texas and Florida and

that if it is to be carried out they will
fuse on the state tickets as nearly as
possible In proportion to the strength

Mr.. Peterson's Good Fortune.

Uncle Jesse Peterson is rich man.
Uncle Jesse is colored gentleman
who for a number of years has turned
the REGISTERS power press and sawed
and split wood for the citizens OF Shep-
herdstown. He has been partially
blind for about twenty years, and this
physical infrmity has prevented him
from earning more than bare living
He has often referred to his Aunt
Mary Burrell, who lived in Washing
ton and who was said to have consid-
cradle property. Last year, at the
earnest solicitation Of Aunt Mary, he
sent his daughter Annie to live with
her, an act that turns out to have
been wise in the extreme. 1t made
him solid with Aunt Mary, whose fa-
vorite nephew he had always been, he
says. The REGISTER last week told
of Aunt Marys death, and related
that Mr. Peterson had gone on to at
tend the funeral and to receive his in
heritance Uncle Jesse returned
Thursday night, becomingly depressed
with sorrow at the death of his rela-
tive, but with his grief tempered by
the fact that she had left him snug
little fortune.
Uncle Jesses report, which is borne
out by the filing of the will last FRI
day in Washington, shows that she
has left him three-story brick house
in Georgetown, which is to be his
during his lifetime and then go to his
two daughters, Annie and Julia. The
property is valued at $4,000 and
rents for ST. month. Another
house, valued at 81 600, is to be sold,
and after certain legacles and $500
for monument are deducted, the bal
ance, about $1,000, is to go to Annie
and Julia They also get the house
hold effects and are the residuary leg
atees. Two vacant lots were left to
cousin, Joseph Davenport, Of Iowa.
Uncle Jesse has been the recipient
Of amending congratulations since he
has returned. He accepts his good
fortune with becoming modesty, and
says he doesn't intend to let money
make fool of him, He expects to
buy comfortable home first thing,
and will continue to work-when he
feels like it. There is no truth that
he is negotiating for the Wild Goose
place.
