Judge Orr Has a Hard Problem Be

1894. while the dog itself was learning

attorney has perturbed Judge Orr for
two long, weary days If the 'X" rays
should throw an unexpected light upon
this reconcile problem, the civil
branch of the municipal court may be
able to adjudicate. to the satisfaction
of the world, the historic cause of
Landrum VS.. Scales, and to decide for
Sport" an anxious dog with red
spots, the question in what vicinity he
shall hereafter vtbrate his tail or his
jaws. Landrum, az is well known
sued Scales, before Justice Rodger, TO
recover Sport, whom, the plaintiff al
legged, Scales had stolen. Scales lost
the case and appealed to Judge Orr.
Landrum has brought witnesses who
fondled Sport when he was a toddling
puppy during 1894 in the town of Win

serts that he bought the spotted one
long ago and gave him, in 1893, to the
little son Of his brother-in-law, Attor-

Hennesey have testified that they en-

the subject Of much favorable comment,
not only on the part Of citizens. but Of
outside insurance companies and 9TH

been just said to whom the chief credit
for this immunity Is to be ascribed.
AS the night patrolman walks his
beat he tries the store doors in his pass

detail, is one Of the manifest duties Of
the st. Paul patrolman. It would re-
quire more space than may be accorded
to this article to give even an outline
OF the multifarious obligations which
the police officer assumes when he dons
his uniform and puts on his star. The
prevention ana OeCeCClOn OF crime and
the apprehension of the criminal are
but part of what he has to do. He Is
the street directory to strangers seek
Ing their unknown destinations; the
rescuer Of strayed children and the re-
porter and helper in cases of accident;
he is to note and report where conta-
giouS disease has fastened itself, and ia
thus the conserver Of the public health;
he marks the advent Of death in his pre-

the existence Of nuisances, the street
lighting service and fifty other things
are his simultaneous concern. And
when 1T is recalled that all this is done
by him and done well, it prompts con-
fused wonder at his comprehensive ca
pacity for observation and execution.
The detective, or secret service de-
partment, is another that claims atten-

not know its inner workings and mys-

NO ELDORADO THERE,
Say Explorers Just Returned From
TibUrOn Island,

LOS ANGELES, Feb. les. c.. MILL
ard, who acted as guide and interpre-
ter for Prof. MCGEE and his party in
their exploration of Tiburon aisland,zin
the Gulf of California, has returned
from the expedition with an overflow
ing supply of interesting thiugsStosr e-
late. He says the island is about eight
eeen by thirty miles in size and rises
1000 feet above the encircling waves of
the Gulf of California The land is bar
rem and rocky, and is inhabited by
about 300 Caras Indians, who are unlike
any other known race in appearance
and language. They wear very few
clothes and scamper barefooted up and
down the cliffs, like wild goats They
never plant crops. but subsist on game,
which is found in abundance on the
island, and the waters furnish them
with any quantity of fish, clans and
oysters. The popular belief that the
natives are cannibals has not been
strengthened by the visit Of the explor-
ers. There have been wild tales of
mines Of fabulous wealth upon this
island of lodges Of silver and copper
ores of wonderful width and thickness.
but Mr.. Millard is inclined to discredit
these stories. In the half of the island
which was visited, he saw plenty of
rugged mountains, plenty Of fertile val
leys, many springs of delicious water,
but Of mineral wealth, he saw no trace.

questions of interest and moment not
to be answered by passing comment or
superficial Investigation, scarcely so,
even after due inquiry, within the
limits of a newspaper writing; but the
heads and indices may be given to
serve as hints of a grand total, as ex-
ponents of an unevolved power, and
these follow.
The organization of the st. Paul po-
lice department consists Of one chief
of police, captains, lieutenants, 10
sergeants, 1 chief Of detectives, de-
tectives, 1 clerk to chief of police,
superintendent Of the police patrol tel
egraph, 1 license inspector, 1 driver
of workhouse van, 1 janitor, 1 matron
and 14S patrolmen. OF these, a lieuten-
ant, sergeant and eight patrolmen
are mounted. e Serving ON special de-
tail are 31-patrolmen, assigned as fol-
lows: Detectives, 6; station jailers, 9;
patrol wagon drivers, 8; patrol wagon
conductors, 2; municipal court bailiffs,
8; workhouse van driver, 1; guard, 1;
mayors office, l. union depot, 1. The
remaining patrolmen, numbering Ill,
are walkers of beats.
For the better organization of the
force the city has been divided into
five police districts, one central and
four sub-stations, and the members of
the force are distributed according to
need among them. From these several
stations police affairs are regulated
and administered for the respective dis
tricts.. They are located, differed and
manned as follows (number indicating

st. Paul has an area of S. square
miles, with over 500 miles of graded
streets; it has personal property and
building and other improvements to the
value of $15O,000,O0O; it's annual job
bling and manufacturing trade mounts
up to $1S0,000,000; over its twenty-eight
lines of railway 400 trains arrive and
depart daily, carrying hundreds of tons
of freight and thousands Of passen-
gers; it has twenty banks with an ag-
gregate capital of $SOOO,OOO hundred
public buildings and population Of
100000; and to guard all this it has a
police department of $50 men, costing
the city $175,000 a year. Who are these

fortunate and vicious; UNREASONABLE
energy and courage, temperate and in
dustrious habits, peaceable and courte-
Gus manners, decorum and cleanliness
of person and dress, respect for superb
ors, promptness, decision and zeal for
the service are also added. These are
are not only the requirements but the
characteristics Of the present members
of the st. Paul police force Appoint
ments and promotions are made by the
mayor by and with the advice and con-
sent of the city council, and removals
for cause in like manner.
One of the most important branches
of the service is the police patrol tel
egraph, in charge of Supt. Macauley.
There are about ninety miles of wire in
the system, with eighty-four boxes,
f1fty-one with telephones, distributed
throughout the city. Every man on
beat is required to report from these
boxes each hour, night and day. Over
these wires are also sent calls for. the
patrol wagon, for extra help, reports Of

and suggestion is also made in the
same connection, that selections will
be made with view to fitness for the
position and usefulness to the service;
that no one can expect to attain or hold
such position unless his conduct be
such as to secure the good will of the
respectable portion of the community
and SO command respect from the un-

fires, etc. During the past year there
were received at the several stations
through the police telephone 2S4, $50
messages, and through the city tele-
phone 10000.
Another most important branch Of
the police service is the detection Of
fires and the sounding of the alarm. 1t
in no wise detracts from the efficiency

There was a continuation OF
yesterdays firmness, with local opera
tors laboring industriously in their ef~
forts to pick up good line without ad-

were Indifferent and did not afford much
encouragement to holders, but crop dam
age reports from India and Argentine
were of a serious nature, cash demand

cold wave predicted for the winter wheat
belt Russian shipments last week were
less than a million bushels for both the

ceipts in the northwest are falling of
materially and fears that further sup
plies from that source are nearly ex-
hausted.
Corn and Oats-May corn advanced
from the tap of the bell this morning.
Champlin was the heaviest buyer and
his purch asses for the day will amount to
over two million bushels. He says he
is buying in shorts on account of general
strength in the cash market, and looks
for "a stronger market.
Oats were strong on good outside busi-
ness and in sympathy with corn.
Provisions-Pork opened strong and
higher on lighter receipts and better de-
mand at the yards. There promises to be
increased interest in provisions from
now on. Outside trade is appearing in
the market and the commission houses
anticipate former activity Opinions
among traders are for higher prices.
Fluctuations are quite dependent on re-
ceipts. Good commission houses are
advising their clients to buy May pork.

Interest.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 15.-An intensely ex-
citing revival meeting is being held by
the Free Methodists in the East Column
bus church. They claim seventy con-
versions, and have wrought themselves
up to a state of excitement that eclipses
anything ever seen in this part of the
state. Every night number fall down
in ''trances," and occasionally someone
gets worked up to state of wild, IN
comfortable frenzy.
The church is crowded every night
Last night eight persons were under the
influence" at one time, and were lying
about in various positions, rigid
and unconscious. Whenever one
was seized with the power"
the muscles became rigid, and
it was impossible for anyone else to move
even hand of the one in this condition.
Que woman stood upon a chair, wildly
waved her arms and shrieked at the top
of her voice for ten minutes.
The son of the preacher, Rev. Mr.
Wright, young man of about II, had
spell" He began yelling "My God!
My Godl" and came tearing down the
aisle, scattering people TO the right and
left. Four young men attempted to
hold young Wright. but he knocked
them right and left, and resumed his
as people fell over chairs to get out OF
his way. As he became quiet he stood
transfxed, with open eyes fixed and
staring at the ceiling for about fifteen
minutes.
A little girl was among those who had
a spell" and she talked while in this
condition. When 1t became known that
she was speaking, the hubbub ceased
and everyone listened bresthlessly to
hear her revelation, even the ones who
were under the influence" stopped
shouting while the little girl spoke.
81 see a beautiful, narrow path" she
said, sand an ugly wide one. I'm in she
narrow path, and the ugly wide one goes
10 hell, and all you sinners are in it. and
when Pm in heaven you will want me to
bring you water but l won't"
Then the hubhub was renewed. It was
nearly midnight before they began to
"come to-" It was a notable fact that
the power" only seized hystericAl wo-
men and weak young people, and healthy
strong people were exempt. Most of the
intelligent men of the town, including
the doctors, agree that it is a psycholog-
ical condition, and not the work of God.
