senate the third permits women to vote
for school trustees.
All of these amendments are important
and of such character that there ought
to be no question as to their adoption by
the people of this state. There is, how
ever, danger of their defeat, and more
especially of the amendment forbidding
race track-gambling not but that vast
majority of the people of this state are I'M
alterably opposed to the legalizing of such
practices, but the danger consists in the
fact that the friends of the amendments
are likely to be apathetic and careless
and so fail to vote, without realizing the
danger of defeat
Experience of former elections held for
the purpose of amending the constitution,
shows that comparatively small portion
of the citizens of our state take the trouble
to vote at such an election.
1t is said that those who hope to be
benefited by the defeat of this amendment
are likely to put forth every effort to pre-
vent its adoption. The great danger
lies in the light vote which is likely to be
cast by the friends of these measures.
The Republican party when restored tc
power in 1894 promptly repealed the acts
under which race-track gambling was
carried on in this state, and in order tc
prevent re-enactment of such laws ant
in response to strong popular sentiment
passed the proposed constitutional amend
ment at two successive sessions of the leg
islature, and have submitted it to the PEG
pie for their ratification"

A Great Shot.

The Duke of Malakhoff was at bat
tue at Strathfeldsaye and shot nothing,
much to his disgust, and when the day
was over it appeared that he would be
extremely put out unless he was allowed
or enabled to kill something. So in
spite of all the gamekeeper could think,
feel or say a pheasant was procured,
tied by its leg to the top of a post, and
Malakhoff was put some 80 yards off
with double barreled gun. 1t was
supposed that he would thereupon and
thence take two shots at the bird. Not
bit of it. He loaded both barrels,
walked close up to the pheasant, put
the muzzle close to him and discharged
both barrels into him, with "Hel CO.
quin. The next day the Duke of We'll
lington told the keeper that Malakhoff
was great man who had smoked to
death 500 Arab men, women and chill
dren in cave, to which the gamekeep-
er replied: Like enough, your grace.
He'd be capable of anything. let

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

The first six months of the Cleveland
administration showed a dismal record of
closing factories and suspended industries.
The first six months of the present adj
ministration show factories opening and

The Florida Times Union, wishing to
pay compliment to Professor William

he was identified with the chief measure

a remarkable Administration no doubt
about that, and the Wilson tariff for deficit
was its chief measure, but why bring the
latter up against Professor Wilson, who is

Speculative markets have their turns of
reaction, but business has none this sea-
son, gaining with steadiness which is
most gratifying. The starting of works,
increase in hands employed, advance in
wages and in prices of products, and the
heavy movement of crops, are facts before
which all speculative influences have to
bow. The weeks dispatches mention six
teen iron works which have started against
one closing, fifteen wooden works started,
and SO in many other branches, while
and many are preparing to resume, and
some have increased wages. While these
things continue-with grain rising and
going abroad in enormous quantities
money markets have reason for abound
ling confidence and speculative markets
for strength. Crop prospects are contra
dictory, as usual at such time, but it is
noteworthy that none of them indicate
anything less than an ample supply of the
great staples. -Dun's Reviev, dug. rs.
New York Tribune. Four weeks from
Tuesday the people of New Jersey will
settle at the polls the fate of the three
amendments to the Constitution. One of
these permits women to vote at school
elections, another prohibits the Governor
from appointing during recess any person
who has been named for Office during the
Legislative session aud not confirmed by
the Senate, while the third prevents the
passage of legislation allowing gambling
in any form. Strenuous efforts are being
made to defeat the latter amendment, be-
cause its adoption would close perma-
nently the racetracks of this State The
gamblers and their allies, in and out
of the press, are determined to roll up a
majority against it, and they are counting
on material support from the railroad
companies, whose business would benefit
by reopening Of the tracks. That is a
combination powerful enough to be sue
cessful, unless the people shake off their
apathy and settle this question once and
forever. If they let the opportunity pass
now, it wouldn't be many years before
they will be called to Trenton again in
battle array.

A sMuGGLER,s TRICK.
He Carried His Wares Openly, Yet Fooled
the Customs OficiaIs

He Carried His Wares Openly, Yet Fooled
the Customs Officials.
All this talk about smuggling re-
calls some of the things learned when
was in the service" announced a re-
tired crook catcher the other day. New
ways of beating the government are be-
ing devised right along, and many of
the tricks l discovered are old now.
There used to be more trouble with the
diamond smugglers than there appears
to be at present. I have found the
sparklers in women's back hair, hat
ornaments, followed shoe heels and
sewed up in various articles of wear, in
dog collars, in horses hoofs, in fruits
and vegetables, in trunks with false
bottoms, in pipes and cigars, in canes,
on the necks of carrier pigeons and even
buried in mems flesh after the manner
of the Kaffir diamond thieves.
But the man who did the slickest
business without ever being suspected
told me about it afterward. He was a
retired detective who had served with
great credit. Shortly before resigning
he claimed to have received a beautiful
diamond ring with three very large
stones from New Yorker for whom he
had been able to save a good deal of
money. 1t was certainly magnificent
ring, and the matter was duly exploited
in the papers. He professed to be doing
a private business that took him across
the river frequently, and he would Of
ten use the ferry three or four times a
day. He always wore the dazzling ring,
and looked at it every day for months.
Yet that fellow was making big money
smuggling diamonds.
How? Why, he had a paste ring
made exactly like the genuine one. He
would wear the paste one over, leave it
to be set with diamonds, wear them
back, have them replaced with paste
and thus carry on the game right before
our admiring eyes. We never suspected
the rascal. Detroit Free Press.

ABOUT once every year there is agita-
ton of the subject of a gubernatorial man
sion at Trenton, and it is already under
way now. Perhaps the day will come
when the Legislature, feeling generous OF
rich, will vote to purchase such place,
but such action should never occur. In
view of the widespread approval of AS
semblyman Wildes efforts to reduce sala-
ries and expenses, it will be a long time
before the people of this state will sane
ton the expenditure of money for the
benefit of an officer whose duties require
his presence at the state capital but about
one-fourth of the year. If the Governor
lived at Trenton his social requirements
would be greatly increased, and then
there would be an effort to increase the
salary that the mansion might be properly
maintained. Better let the matter be as il

KNOWN BY HIS SCARS.
That Is the Way Uncle Sam Keeps Track
of His Enlisted Men.


of His Enlisted Men.
While good many people know in
a general way of the Bertillon system
for the Identification of criminals, COM
paratively few know of the simple
method which Uncle Sam has been
using for number of years past to keep
track of the men who eat his rations
and wear his uniform in the regular
army. The system employed by the war,
department might be termed the mat
ural method" and is at once simple and
ingenious. 1t does away with all APP
paratus except a vertical measuring
rod and pair of scales. 1t is known as
''the scar system" and has been found
wonderfully effective.
There is an unwritten theory in the
army that every man who enlists will
at some time or other desert This is
not entirely true, but the assertions are
numerous enough to make it worth
while to keep track Of the offenders. In
war the penalty for desertion is death,
but in peace it is a long term of impris-
onment, and the subject is liable to pun
ishment no matter how long term has
elapsed since his offense was committed.
Strange as it may seem, the men who
desert most readily are the ones who
straightway go back and enlist again,
though usually in some remote section
of the country.
The recruiting card, - as it is called,
is big enough to contain two 6 inch
outlines of a mans form, front and rear
view, with good sized border for mar
ginal notes. When the recruit is strip
ped for his physical examination, he is
gone over from head to foot, and every
appreciable scar or permanent skin
blemish is recorded. Its location is ac-
curately noted by dot on the card, and
it's description is written on the mar
gin. The hands and face usually have
the greatest number of scars, but those
on the body are apt to be the more
pronounced and characteristic, as it is
usually more severe wound that pene-
trates the clothing and leaves its record
on the flesh beneath. Moles are also
noted, their color and dimensions, and
other birthmarks or blemishes that
would not ordinarily disappear with
time
The question may arise as to what if
man have no scars, moles or birth
marks. That would be enough to identi-
fy him, for in all the thousands of men
who have been catalogued by the de-
partment there has never been one who
bore less than three clearly defined
scars, while seven or eight is the more
usual number, and there are some cases
where the number runs up to 80 or So.
Further, SO infinite are the chances of
combination that there have never been
two individuals whose height, weight
and the number and location of their
scars came anywhere neas coinoiding. =

strosity of his time. He had neither
