6oooooooooooooooooooooo

Col. Dan Freeman is in the city, has been
for some weeks, and no one has interviewed
him on his experiences with royalty and
the European aristocracy. he spent some
time at all the more important capitals and
had a capital time. He has brought gun
with him that was the favorite hunting
weapon of Emperor Billy, and has more
stories than ever, which is saying great
deal. He also has wonderful hat, that
weighs the sixteenth of an ounce, more or
less, and new clothes from Bond street, and
is more than ever the CHEEKY, successful,
happy, sparkling, amiable young man that
he has been for the past twenty years.
More power to his elbow.
Editor Willard of the Express has just re-
Republican headquarters while in the city
and brought back severe cold, which may
be an indication of the temperature in tho
Palace hotel suite.
Phil Stanton will return today from q
visit to the east. He spent large portion
of his time in New York. 1t is strange, but
fact, apparently, that New Workers are
good things.
President Ripley OF the santa re I'M
presses the men who interview him as re-
markable for several things-his brus-
querie, typical of the westerner who has
arrived; his directness and insight, which
enable him to strike at once into the meat
OF whatever he may be talking about, and
then, the extraordinarily shocking bad hats
he wears. ] have met the gentleman twice
now, and on each occasion he wore on his
long, well-filled head hat that would lead
to mans arrest if the rest of his clothes
were in keeping with it. 1 do not know
whether Mr.. Ripley ever goes to New York
but if he should be there at the same time
as Mr.. DAILY the city could not hold the two
of them, for Mr.. DAILY never has and never
will endure rivalry; but, for fact, Mr..
Ripley outdoes him in the way Of hats. In
the rest of his raiment the railway nabob is
eminently correct, looking quite Londonese
sartorally. THE GOSSlPER.

Detection of the Rogues

The executors of the law in Europe have
been swift to seize upon discoveries In
science to help them to run down criminals.
\ curious use was recently made OF the mi
croscope in Prussia. A barrel OF specie
sent from the frontier to Berlin was robbed
and filled with sand. This was supposed to
have been done on the way to Berlin. The
eminent chemist, Professor Ehrenbergh, OBJ
tanned samples of all the sand near the sta
tions through which the barrel passed, and,
by means OF the bowpipe and microscope,
found sand of the station at which 1t had
been emptied and filled: The thief was
afterward discovered and arrested.
in France noted rogues are not only pho
tographed but weighed and measured care
fully. and forced to speak and sing into a
Photographic instrument before their dis
charge from prison, that they may be iden-
titled afterward in attempted crime.
1t has also been noted for the Identification
of criminals that one part of the human
body which is never duplicated in man OF
woman is the markings on the skin of the
thumb. The face and figure may be altered
at will, but the lines on the thumb-never!
For the detection of criminals an impression
of the thumb is stamped upon paper
A story is told of the Princess of Wales
She was once shown through the museum at
Scotland Yard containing the photographs
of countless rogues, and also some of tbs
methods, scientific and legal, for tracing
crime and Furnishing it.
at is all very CLEVER" said the kindly
princess, with q sigh. "but if the world were
as anxious to discover and reward the good
men as it is the bad what pleasant place
it would be."-London It'd d-Bits.
