DISCUSSES OF DETECTIVES
Modern Vidocqs Very Seldom
Change Their Appearance.
SOME VERY HUMOROUS CASES
Washington Sleuths Ridiculed Ono
of Their Number Who Attired

- Practice Almost Obsolete-Those
who Do 1t Called "Shinnebucks."

Those detectives wbowear disguises every
time they are assigned to a case are known
as sShinnehucks.' DISCUSSES have been
discarded except in rare cases, by the up
to-date sleuths, and Inspector Hoiinberger
denies that there are any 'Shinnebucks'
on his staff of headquarters detectives.
The old-time Vidocq always provided
himself with false mustaches, whiskers,
hair, eyebrows, goggles and costumes. 1t
wasconsidered asindispensablea the ward
robe carried by low comedian of many
parts, or q vaudeville lightning change
artist.
All this is changed now. Thief-catch-
ing has kept abreast of the times, and the
men who hunt down lnurderers, burglars,
and other criminals of high and low degree,
depend upon Inteliigence, sagacity and
shrewdness more than they do upon the
spectacular effects of the past, in tracing
the crooks and bringing them to justice.
Fluffy false hair and whiskers, costumes
and the like, are left for dime novel de
tectives, inexperienced amateurs and shin
nebucks. Only once in great while,
when a criminal who is wanted has be-
come acquainted with the forms and
features OF the headquarters men, is it
necessary to employ modest set OF Gal
ways, a mustachc or 'siders,'' and then
only during the night. The modern GRIM
iual is a shrewd, foxy fellow, and in the
bright daylight would readily penetrate
with his keen eyes almost any disguise,
no matter how cleverly it was gotten

A Tall Generation,

AT very recent debutante teas given to
Introduce the buds of the season, wide
comment has been made upon the phenOm-
email size OF the new generation of women.
In eight out of ten cases these very young
girls are full head and shoulders taller
than their mammas. Five feet eight or
nine inches is no longer regarded as an un-
usual height for debutante, and this
Junoesque stature is supplemental as a
rule by broad, shapely shoulders, O firm
round waist, with harmonious proper
tions of arms, hips and bust. The new
woman from merely physical stand
point is not only fair to look upon, but
promises well with her clear eyes, rosy
skin and steady nerves as a wholesome
mother of the coming race-EXchange.

AS "Gen," Coxey's army of itinerants
were approaching this city, the authorities
determined that it would be good policy
to have two detectives join the ranks Of

find out if they were up to any real mIs-
chief.
Detectives Ned Horne and George Boyd
were selected for this work. Ii would never
have done for them to have made the at
tempt in their neat business suits, so
disguise was determined upon. There were
no acquisitions for bogus boards or weary
looking wigs, but the two set about to get
themselves up as thirty third degree ho-
boes, and they succeeded most admirably.

Gems are generally bought and sold by
the weight called a karat, whlchis equal to
about 3.16S troy grains. II is usually di-
vided, however, into four diamond or pearl
grains, each of which is 1925 of a true
grain. The weight Of the karat formerly
differed slightly in different countries. and
this diversity finally led to syndicate
Of Partisan jewelers., goldsmiths and gem
dealers, in 1871, to propose standard
Karat. This was subsequently confirmed by
an agreement between the diamond mer-
chants of London, Paris and Amsterdam,
fixing uniform weight for the diamond

hours the detective finally spied the man
he wanted. Without giving his disguise a
thought, he dashed across the Avenue and
seized the crook by the collar. The latter
was fine-looking fellow, handsomely at
tired, and would pass anywhere as a pros
porous business man. The unusual sight of
grimy laborer struggling with the we'll
dressed man quickly attracted crowd.
The crook evidently OWNED that he was in
the grasp of detective, and noticing the
temper of the crowd, cried out:
"Help this fellow is trying to rob me-"
Caught His Man.
The spectators were about to attack the
disguised detective, when he tore open the
front OF his blue jacket and exposed his
badge.
He was then allowed to take his man 20
headquarters, several citizens accompany
ing him to render assistance.
Amateur sIeuths, or yellow-cover detec-
tives, who Gould not detect "a rotten apple
in a barrel as the saying goes, are nearly
all possessed of disguises, especially those
connected with certain fake detective
agencies in the big cities. These agencies
advertise for young men, and even women,
who desire To become Hawkshaws, and rep
resent the agency in the localities in which
they reside. When an aspirant for such
doubtful honors replies TO the advertise
ment ne is informed that an outfit, INSIST
ingof u badge, Commission and severa other
minor articles, worth all told about %
cents will be supplied for so. In return
the agency promises TO give the aspirant
all detective work they may have in his
vicinity.
After the dupe has forwarded his money
and been duly badged and commissioned,
he next receives a circular calling his at
tention to the necessity OF having an outfit
OF complete DISCUSSES" These consist.
OF a set OF frustaches, whiSkers and face
paints, and cost 50 more The commission
confers no authority on the party securing
it, while the badge is as useless as a
cigarette motto button. But through these
agencies many a youth, who has become
saturated with "old sleuth" tales, or
Highway Harry dime novels finds
means of appeasing his ambition to out

cases, TO make nuisance OF himself and

In days gone by feminine costumes were
