For though I've lived here fifty years-just

Left here in my declinin' years TO struggle

The old house is so silent now. where none

There are none left to comfort me or give

Along nfe's solitary way since dear old

Central station that I might study
the criminal classes of the city and
note the methods of the police de-
partment in handling them. With
out exception each prisoner that
was brought in while 1 was there
seemed hardened beyond redemption.
In the eyes was the look of lowness
and cunning. The features were
pinched and bore the unmistakable
air of the hunted man. Experience
had taught the futility of offering re-
sistance. The police are not any too
gentle in handling criminals. By this
l do not mean that the officers are
cruel, but they claim that severity is
the only way in which this desperate
class of men can be controlled.

and the articles are put in an envelope,
sealed and placed carefully away un-
til the owner calls for them. 1t some
times, in fact, quite frequently hap

in charge of the custodian who keeps
them for one year. If, at the expira-

honeymoon included a yachting tour
through the Scottish isles and so on to
North Cape, but Fan surprised him.
She had seen so much of Europe, she
said, and so little of their own country.
Couldn't they go to Chicago for the
worlds fair, and then to Niagara and
down the ST. Lawrence, and through
the White. mountains andthe Catskills?
So this they did, coming back to Gotham
for a round of receptions and social
gayeties in the late autumn, then going
to Florida and thence to New Orleans
for the Mardi Gras, and then Fan
begged TO be taken to Coronado and
Monterey. She 1onged, she said, to see
Southern California, and the 'Sunset

men, burglars and thieves Many OF
them had been arrested on suspicion,
and had the charge of ''disordtriy" en-
tered against their names. This Is a
precaution taken by the police for self
protection. for in case the justice re-
leases them in the morning. which he
must do if there is no serious charge
against them, they cannot come back
al the city for false arrest. 1t is not
often, however, that the criminal vol
UNFAIRLY resorts to the law. He is gem
orally only too well pleased to get
his release to worry about the manner
of his arrest. It is the usual custom
OF the Central station men TO arrest
known crooks on sight. whether they
are doing anything or not. The jus
tices, who are at times little inclined
to oppose police methods, generally
object to this, and ask the officer why
he doesn't wait till the suspects" do
something. The police, however, de-
fend themselves by asserting that q
criminal is always committing some
crime, and that il is safe to take him
in on this theory whenever he is found.
They say that by doing this they often
make important arrests before crime
that has already been committed has
been reported to them.
After the prisoner that has been
taken to the Central station has been
locked in his cell, his record-if he is
not we'll known-is carefully looked
up. 1t often happens that an impor-
taut arrest has been made without
the officer knowing it. For this rea-
son each prisoner has a personal rec
ord which is kept by the Central de-
tectives. Every known criminal has
his photograph in the 'rogues' gall
lery," which now contains collection
of about 5000. Ii man or woman is
arrested, and it is their first offense,
and that offense is serious, his or her
picture is taken and added to the gal
lery. Then the Bertiilon system of
measurements is employed, and this,
with the record and the photographs,
makes it a pretty difficult matter for
criminal to escape Identification.
Sometimes. an important arrest is
overlooked by the police, and the pris-
oner is allowed to go. and afterwards
it is learned, too late, that he was

CHICAGO CRIMINALS.
How They Are eHandled" by the
Police Department.
Incident. OF a Night Spent at Central
Station, the Most ImpOrtanC
Prison of the City The
Basement Cells.
Especial Chicago letter.

Under the detectives room in the
city hail is a prison as damp, as
gloomy, as foreboding as any dun
geon pictured by the pen of Dumas
or Hugo. 1t is known as the Cen
trail station. and its seven cells
have confined some Of the worlds most
daring criminals. Minnie Daley, the
notorious female pickpocket, whose
death was recently announced in the
papers, has been booked there and
transferred to other stations, for only
men are locked behind the walls Of
the modern Bastile. Emma Weir's
desperate gang of male thieves have
been detained there. Phil, alias Joe,
alias Giott, alias Grienier Green, the
handsome and daring swindler, who
has just been sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary, and who defrauded his part
ner, Edward Trask, now serving a
term in Joliet, out of S4sO, 1000
worth of real estate in Chicago,
passed many dismal nights there.
There have been crooks known
to every chief of police in the
country, confidence men from over the
seas, blackmailers and bank burglars,
fashionable forgers and low bar-room
murderers-men representing every
grade of crime in the calendar-whose
names have been registered on the
arrest book of the desk sergeant.
The Central station is the most i'm
Portant prison in the city. 1t is Off
cered by over 100 men. The flower
of the detective force is there-the
men who travel in citizens clothes
and work up all the big cases. There
all the notorious criminals and ''sus-
pects' are taken. If one of the Central
police brings in a prisoner who turns
out to be a petty thief or is only drunk
he is at once sent to the Harrison
street station, which is about a mile
away. All sick cases are sent to the
county hospital. No criminal ranks
in the profession" who is not lodged

the very man wanted. This has hap
pened in the case of new criminals.
1t happened in the case of Schnaubelt,
the man who doubtless threw the IA
tai bomb in the Haymarket massacre
of police during the riots of the an
archists. He was questioned and al
lowed to depart in peace, before it
was ascertained that he was the man
most wanted of all. His comrades
met death on the gallows, but Schnau-
belt was free, and his Whereabouts
unto this day is mystery.
This mistake taught the police a les
son, and since then everyone taken
to the Central is closely scrutipized
and his history carefully inquired into.
If the arrested man is not wanted in
Chicago the officers look up the rec
ords in other cities. In the event OF
a criminal of Importance being want
ed in any town the chief of police or
the sheriff or other officers issue a cir
cular giving a picture and a descrip-
ton CT the man or woman whose ar
rest is desired. Generally for the
crime of murder or a heavy forgery
or embezZlement a reward is offered.
If an officer making the arrest of a
man for whom reward is offered Sc
cures his prisoner by particular act
of bravery, or by an unusual display
of cleverness, he is allowed to retain
the money, but ordinarily it is turned
over TO the police benevolent fund At
the Central station there is a large
book filled with these circulars of
fering rewards which range from
$1,000 to S25 for the arrest of muir
derers and all classes of criminals.
From Scotland Yard. London, is a no.
tice furnishing a description and a
picture of Quaiia Giovanni, alias Gui-
seppe, alias Rivesto, and also of Jo-
seph Ravelli, both wanted for Ihur-
der; and from the chief of police of
burlington, VT, is the offer of a, re-
ward for the return of Earl Sheldon.
who was kidnapped. Chief Ripley, here
u Chicago, has offered q reward of a
promotion to a captaincy to the man
who finds little Joseph Lapiner. who
was stolen from his home several
weeks ago.
L looked for some exciting incident
that night remained at. the Central
station But there was none. The
poor fellows that were taken in had
hang-dog faces-the faces of men who
see naught but despair in life. They
submitted passively. They heard the
cruel bolts CRATE on the closed cell
doors that shut them out from the
world of light and love.
