The three principal candidates for Speak
er of the next Assembly are Henry w.
Gledhill, of Passaic county; George w. W
Porter, of Essex. and David o. Watkins, Of
Gloucester. II Foster NJ. Voorhees, is made
President of the Senate, as now seems
likely, South Jersey will probably insist
upon the Speakership, according to custom
so that the chances If Mr. Watkins are
best Boss Sewell is believed to have de-
creed this organization of the Legislature,
aud unless be changes his mind it will be
effected Paterson Guardian.
The Guard ian may have accurate infor-
NATION as to Gen. Sewell's desires as 10
the speakership, but the opinion down here
is general that Mr.. Watkins has not yet
enlisted under the Sewell banner, aud it
will not be believed that he has until there
is direct evidence of such allegiance. Glou-
cester county people don't believe that
David o has taken on a boss vet.

grand, continuous dime novel romance.
An uncanny sort of individual, dark and
sinister looking, lean, long and hungry
of mien-subterranean passages, terri
BILE plots, hairbreadth escapes, mass
of gunpowder, sulphur and bullets
that is the popular conception.
AS matter of fact the average detec-
tive is quite an everyday sort of good
fellow. He is fat and red, has n big
nose and watery eyes and likes nothing
better than to have friend invite him
to take "eins" and "noch ems" over the
bar. To be sure, every detective occa-
sionally encounters real adventure,
But on the whole, his life is that of a
patient plodder and the thrilling eX-
periences are rare enough to remain q
matter of comment for months and
years after.
I am reminded of an incident which
occurred some weeks ago.
1t was Immediately after dinner on
Sunday when in walking toward town
/ passed a certain detective with whom
1 was acquainted. He was sitting on n
bench at the street corner, and was
amusing himself by teasing a vagrant
dog. His apparent unconcern not
withstanding, one could see that he was
keeping close watch upon the street.
Going to 'vag' some one?" asked,
''Naw. Got warrant for Tim ut
last" he grumbled. About time he'd
got his stripes. He's got a date here in
the O. k. IN. that works cross the
street, and I'll catch him this trip, see
if I won't"
THE sun had set before returned, but
my friend was still lounging on the
same bench, now hard at work whit
Ting stick.
"Ain't come yet" the sleuth remarked
with q colnplacent grin. "Got TO keep
my head down all the time, for the cuss
knows my face better than his OWL
mothers"
The next morning I read a thrilling
account of the capture of a notorious
burglar by my detective. There was
no dime novel work about the job. The
success of it was the result of eXem-
| plary patience. At the same time some
professional skill had also been re-
quired. 1t was no easy task to deter
mine just where Tim would be that
afternoon, and the information had to
be obtained through many chats with

kitchen girls, small boys and gosspy
old maids.
/ met the victorious detective few
days later. His face was still wreathed
in smiles at the inward contemplation
of his laurels.
Yes, we keep loafng all the time"
he remarked. 1--WE keep loafng, for
that is the only way to get posted in
this business"
In the tough districts of the big cities
from four to eight men are detailed to
cover q territory of a few blocks. They
mingle with the lowest classes, getting
as closely in touch with them as possi-
Bile. Sometimes the relations of detec-
tives and toughs become almost init
mate. They call each other by their
first names, and while away the hours by
telling stories of unusual adventure. AS
soon as the criminal is wanted by the
police little rivalry springs up. 1t is
the business of the police to find and. of
the criminal to escape; that they both
recognize as the usual state of affairs,
and so they proceed to outwit each
other, as men might sit down to a
chess contest. When the criminal has
served his sentence and no new charge
has yet been brought against him,
amicable relations with the "hy cop
are restored A reverential and'super-

COOP MORNING, Sheriff McCallister !

THE Sacred Concert Sunday after
noon at the Auditorium was very well
attended-so much so that S54 consti-
tuted the receipts at the door. 1t was
a pretty, eminently genteel affair, and
was listened to by q quiet, respectful
and pleased audience. The numbers
were we'll chosen for such an event,
and were received, not vociferously'
but in manner becoming the day,
1t is suggested to us that when ten
numbers are played and sung that
they be shorter than were many of the
selections Sunday. The concert lasted
an hour and half, which for ten cents
is enough and to carry.
There may be those who frown or
the Sunday concert, and its possible
evolution into Il more open sunday
than we now have, but we believe thai
such are but theorizing, and that at
tendance on one concert will dissipatt
the idea.

A MIDNIGHT EPISODE.
The Entiro Matter Was Dropped just
Where 1t Was

Where 1t Was.
Beemer was walking home late at
night through the suburbs, observes
the Detroit Free Press.
So was Deemer.
Deemer was not more than so feet
behind Becmer, and both of them were
trembling in their shoes for fear of
footpnds.
Beemer wanted to run, but felt sick
at heart under conviction that the
man so doggcdly following him would
not he a robber unless he were q
sprntcr.
Deemer achcd to turn and make n
dash for safety, but was sure that the
man ahead would he upon him within n
block.
Bccmcr stumbled and yelled 'police." "
Dectncr struck out into vacant lot
and yelled police"
They reached their respective homes
pale, brcathlcss and resolved never to
stay out late again.
Next day Beemcr and Deemer met
with the usual crowd at lunch. Beemer
gave II thrilling account of how he put
II footpad to flight the night before.
Dccmcr was even more vivid in his
description of like feat.
After the two had taken Il square look
at each other they snealed out to-
gethcr and before they parted there
was Il solemn pledge exchanged that
the entire matter should be dropped
Just whcrc'it was.

ono Woman,s Ready Mit.

A young woman who lives near a
railway crossing, looking out of win
dow the other day, saw laborer jump
from one track to the other to escape
an approaching freight train. He was
apparently dazed by terror and stood
still, not seeing that an express train
was rushing down upon him. The girl
saw that before she could make him
understand his danger it would be too
late. She therefore threw up her arms,
shriel1ing wildly: "Helpl help! helpi"
trusting TO the impulse which sends q
man on the instant to the relief of a
woman in distress. I'm comingl"
shouted the laborer, springing toward
her in time to escape the engine as 1t
rushed past. He stared back at it, and
then at the woman crying and laugh
ing in the window, and, taking off his
hat with shaking hands, said: II owe
you something, miss" and walked
axyaY.

is altogether too bulky an individual.
For his big blue coat and shining brass
buttons serve as a danger signal for n
blocks distance so that any gentleman
of tender conscience has ample oppor-
,tunity to switch to side street. The
citizens clothes officer on the other
hand is very unostentatious sort of
fellow. His garb is often quite as shab-
by as that of his intended victim and
he saunters along in SO innocent fash
ion that the liveliest tough is apt to run
straight into his arms. Then, too, when
an overcoat is stolen, it is an officer in
citizens clothes that RECEIVERS it; when
burglary has been committed, the
sleuth looks after the case, and in q
murder mystery the solution is again
dependent upon the brains of the plain
detective.
Sandwiched in between his patroling,
his serving of warrants, hunting up
addresses, and waiting for folks, The
ay cop does occasionally get an OPP
portunity to display the wonderful
genius of 'Dicll, the Boy Detective" or
"Old Sleuth, the New York Terror"
Late in the evening, perhaps when th1
cfficers are about to retire from day IS
wanderings, half the force is sent out
on a special case. A mysterious murder
has been committed, a bank robber is
supposed to have arrived in the city OF
gigantic theft is expected. The alac'
rity with which the detective works
upon such occasions is really wonder
full; but it seems less surprising when
one considers the store of information
he has gathered during the days of loaf
ing. Some of his allegedly magic
tricks are exceedingly sagacfous and
original, but as rule he has recours:
to few stereotyped devices modified
| by circumstances In tracing stoleI
| property it is common to visit pawn
shops and fences in disguise. Tn,
writer recalls the figure of n iovia
Irishman, who upon several occasion!
metamorphosized himself into the mos
Hebraic of shoe string vendors. Another
common device of detectives is to turI
tramp. So disguised they prowl abou
the haunts of criminals and are mad
confdants in the deepest plots. But a
the danger of detection is imminent
the sleuth soon withdraws from tn
chosen circle and resumes the garb o
an ordinary detective.
In so far, then, the dime novels give
true picture of the life of detective
namely, in that the incidents they re
late have at least in modified form oc
Cured. But one must keep in mind tina
the sensational element constitutes bu
d small. very small, part of the dali
duties of the "citizefs clothes" mar
He is the hardest and most patient G
workers and for that he deserves th
public's thanks, E. T. GUNDLACH.

stitious fear of the hefunctionary of the law
which is ingrained into every criminal
from babyhood up, but besides the
tough often entertains queer kind OF
affection for his prosecutors. He is
happy to explain to the one respectable
human being that will tolerate his com
pany how it Happened that he sank so
low; and the detective not infrequent-
ly has some rough but sincere feeling
for the victim whose present and past
he can best appreciate. The statement
may sound strained, but the truth of it
will be apparent to anyone in touch
with police circles.
"They get so chummy," resumed my
friend, the detective, that we learn all
about their families, their affections,
and especially their hatreds. The tough
gets to telling of his latest escapades
and incidentally he let's fall many re-
marks which unwittingly he turns into
pointers of vital Importance to us"
"How's Sleepy Ed,' old man?' asked
the detectives.
"And Bill?"
"And when's Dick comm bncli from
New York?"
Now, Sleepy Ed and Bill and Dick may
at present be at large, and the tough
may know it. So he talks freely and
unhesitntingly, for there is nothing like
being on the right side of the "cop."
Sooner or later Bill and Dick will be
wanted by the police, and then the
sleuths will know just how and where to
trace them up.
As a rule the detective has no stated
hours of work. If he has a case in
court he reports there in the morning
and after that he is supposed to be on
guartl--.some % hours a day. At the
stations with which | am familiar it
was customary for detectives to report
to the desk sergeant about ten a. m.
Here they receive instructions if spe-
cial business was on hand; such as the
serving of warrants, the tracing OF
stolen property, etc. This done, the
men pair off and go cut on their beats
where they are expected to keep o
| sharp watch for every indication of a
suspicious incident. There is absolute
| ~ no TSbIilIlO u lJOll uliSdis bhSJ p'
free to come and go as they please; but
they must be prepared to give the latest
gossip in the criminal line.
The peaceable citizen may never bc
aware of the presence of these patroline
detectives, but they are after all thr
men that do the real police work. Tht
uniformed officer is conspicuously
busy at the street corners, where ht
regulates traffic and maintains genera
order. But when it comes to equalinG

WANTED EPlGRAMS.
His Cook Couldn't Make Them, So Hc Was
Discharged.

DlSCuhTpeu.
The story is told, says the Youths
Companion, that n certain speculator,
exceedingly unlearned, took fancy to
the entertainment of literary people
when he had made his fortune and set
up u house; and, of course, he wished
to have and do all the fine things that
other rich men had and did. After din
ncr one day one of his literary guests
chanced to remark:
Il dined at X, the poets, the other
night, and he gave us Il capital cpigram
at dessert"
The speculator was humiliated. He
had no epigrams! After his guests
were gone he called his cook.
Didn't give you carty blanchy for
this dinner?" he demanded.
"Yes, sir; you did, sir" said the
cook.
"And didn't tell you to have every.
thing that anybody had?"
'Yes, sir; you did sir"
"Yes! Well, now it seems that al
KS they have epigrams for dessert, and
| good ones, too, and folks miss 'em when
they come here. Now / want to know
if you don't know how to cook epi
grams?"
: The unfortunate cook was compelled
to acknowledge that he could not cool
| cpigrams and was discharged on the
7 spot.

A Deserved Compliment.

\ At a meeting of the Washington
County Bar Association held Saturday
the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, Our fellow townsman,
Judge Il. L. Sibley, after occupying
the Common Pleas bench of said coun-
ty for the past fourteen years, will,
very shortly, resign to accept the posi-
ton OF Circuit Judge of this circuit.
THEREFORE,, BE IT RESOLVED, By the
bar of Washington county that Judge
Sibley, by his uniformly courteous and
impartial treatment of members of the
bar, as well as his able, honest and
painstaking consideration and decision
of all legal matters to him submitted
entities him, and the bar of Washing
ton county unanimously tenders him,
its sincere regards and appreciation as
man, citizen, and judge.
RESOLVED, That copy of these reso-
lutions be presented to Judge olbley,
RESOLVED, That these "11Jiutions be
spread upon the journal of the Com
mon Pleas Court Of Washington county.
NJ. d. FoLLETT,
R, a. UNDERWOOD, Chair man.
Secretary.
JIudge Sibley had been kept in ignor-
Trance of the Bar meeting, or adoption
of the resolutions given above. At
O'Clock he came into court for the pur-
pose of disposing of some matters be-
fore finally adjourning the term. After
the opening of court w. G. Way hand
ed the Judge copy of the resolutions
with the request that the Judge order
them spread on the journal The
Judge, with his accustomed caution,
glanced at the paper before making
the order asked for. He was so taken
by surprise, that for moment, after
taking in its contents, he was not able
to express himself.
He thanked the bar in feeling man
uer for their kind expressions, and
said that such action was far more
gratifying than the recent judicial
honor conferred on him, He spoke OF
his long continuance on the Common
Pleas Bench, perhaps longer than any
other one person, and said that during
that long period he had received moth
ing but the kindest and most respect
full treatment from the bar. He spoke
of the high attainments of the Wash
ington County Bar, and of the courtesy
and fraternal spirit animating them
He closed by saying that on some fu'
ture occasion he hoped in social way
to testify to his respect for his legal
brethren.
Al
doubt gratifying to Judge Sibley, yet
we feel that he is fairly entitled to the
compliment paid him, by his unspotted
judicial, and private life. He has been a
hard student not only of legal matters,
but of general literature as well, and
desel vedly stands high as lawyer
and well informed gentleman.
