badge,"
Like flash his coat was thrown
open and the star cleaned again.
Hang your badge. l don't give two
raps for it," the clerk cried in disgust.
The detective shrank back, dismay-
ed by this show of obstinacy. Slowly
he recovered himself and returned the
attack.
"Sirl" he exclaimed, and his voice
was choked with feeling. "Sir, this is
no trifiing mater. / repesent the law.
Here is my badge. The vast impor-
tance of this case just begins to dawn
on me. You, you sir! are in league
with that man over there You be-
long to the same gang. Deny it! de-

bony finger under the clerks nose.
"You have insulted the majesty Of
the law and are shielding culprit!
You are a culprit yourself. I have
the power to arrest you. and with nip

able carcass cursing and shrieking

Three big black porters and several
callboys had seized the detective at a
signal from the clerk and bore him
bodily to the door.
No matter. No matter" he Kissed,
as they threw him out; I'll dog you

My business is to rescue humanity

his coat again and eyed the star with
unconcealed admiration.

being formed. The work is being done
quietly. and it is said that satisfactory
progress has been made. The first To-

He paused and gazed into the faces
of the people in the lobby until his
eyes fell on quiet old gentleman who
had just taken a seat dozen feet
away and was digging away vigorous
~ at his teeth with match stick. The
detective turned to the clerk and said
confdentally:
do you see that man over there
with the white whiskers?"
Eyes; he's regular patron of the
hotel"
See how the muscles of his face

are sure signs. Some great secret is
locked in his heart as sure as fate.

''Ah, ha, l knew it! He's in dis

MICHIGAN.

DETROIT, Mich, November THE
official count from all Of the city's pre-
cincts show that Mayor Maybury, Dem
ocrat. has been reelected to third
term by 1851 majority.
City Treasurer Thompson received
6,427 majority over his Republican OPP
ponent. and is reelected to second
term.
City Clerk John Schmid, Republican,
gets a third term by 1888 majority. The
Democrats elected eight aldermen and
the Republicans nine, making the Conu-
Gil stand 10 Republicans to IA Demo-
Gratis. The election Of two of the DEM
ocratic aldermen will be contested, the
Republicans claiming crooked work at
the polls. Justice Teagan, Republic
can, was reelected by 40 majority,
and contest of this is probable.
PORT HURON, Mich, November T.
The Republicans elect their entire
city ticket and seven aldermen. The

MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON, Miss, November 7-Scat-
tering returns received from represen-
tative sections of the State indicate a
very light vote in the Mississippi cleo
tons. The entire Democratic State
ticket is elected by majority of 5000.
The official count will not greatly vary
these figures. The Populist vote shows
a decided falling off, which will prob
ably amount to 80 per cent. Not over
$1,000 votes were polled during the day.
The Populists have probably elected a
member of the Legislature from Choc-
taw county. The vote on the Noel
amendment providing for the elective
judiciary is decidedly close. and it will
require an official count to determine
the result.

A CONSPIRACY UNEARTHED.
Taken altogether, he was not a bad
looking fellow; neither was he hand
some. He was not tramp, yet he did
not display the habiliments Of vo-
tary of fashion. Steel spectacles sat
astride his nose, and behind the lenses
a little pair of eyes jumped about in
cessantly as if in search of long-lost
friend or stray pocket-book. His
progress of the administration at
bony fingers were also in ceaseless mo-
ton, as though they had hurry con-
tract to write a dictionary on an i'm
aginary typewriter. He wore suit of
black and white tie, while big
watch chain hung like the cable of a
suspension bridge from the top but
tonhole of his vest to the lower pocket
of the same article of attire, and pair
CT rusty handouts dangled at his side.
He entered the hotel lobby stealthily
and glanced around at the dozen or
more men lounging there. Then he
made a detour of the place, passing be-
hind those who occupied chairs and
tripping over the feet Of such as were
reposing on the lounges along the wall.
In the course of time he reached the
clerks desk, and, leaning over so that
his scraggy little mustache almost
tickled the ear of the man on duty,
whispered huskily:

NO REPLY WAS MADE TO IT.

Enlist in Either the Army or Navy
for Philippine or Cuban Service.

Washington, May 6.-The post Office
department has made public the letter
from Mr. Edward L. Atkinson on which
the action of the department in seizins
his pamphlets was based. Many let.
ters asking information about the SUBJ
iect have reached here and the follow
ing statement was given out yesterday
by Postmaster General Smith:
In view of the statement of Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson that he sent his pamph-
let's only to Admiral Dewey, Gen.
Otis, President Schurman and three or
four others, the letter of Mr.. Atkinson
containing his application will be of in
terest. 1t follows:
"'Boston, April %, 1S99.--To the Sec
retary of War-Sir: | desire to send
large number of the enclosed pamph-
lets on "The Cost of National Crime
"The He'll of War and It's Penalties"
"Criminal AggreSsion: by Whom Com
mitted?" to the officers and privates in
the Philippine islands ] therefore de
sire to know whether or not these
documents can be sent directly through
the war department or may be forward
ed in due course of mail. y list of
regiments is desired and if there are
printed lists of officers available they
would serve me very useful purpose.
Edward Atkinson
''No answer was made to this letter
except to send an official copy to the
postmaster general who issued instruc-
tions to the postmaster at San Fran
cisco to hold the pamphlets. The spirit
and design of the pamphlets will be
=, 4 4,l I,., p,r oS-tr In
of them Mr.. Atkinson says: L will APP
pend one question to each reader; How
much increase of taxation are you will
ing TO bear and how many of your
neighbors' sons are you ready to sacri-
flee by fever, malaria and venereal dis
case in order to extend the sovereignty
of the United States over the West In
dies and the Philippine islands"
Again after describing what he
calls The He'll of War and Its Penal
ties Mr.. Atkinson says: Lest others
should be entrapped into enlistment in
the regular army or volunteer service
in the tropics, it will only be fair and
honest on the part of the recruiting Off
GERS to be put in possession of these
facts Again Mr.. Atkinson says:
The way has already became plain for
the youth of the land to avoid disease
in the tropics by refusing to volunteer
or enlist in the army or the navy of the
United States. The way will be found
for the volunteers now held against
their will to get their release from un-
lawful service in any other country
than their own after peace is declared
Mr.. Atkinson not only speaks thus
of and to the soldiers of the United
States. but he encourages the Filipinos
to insurrection when he says: They
have the power to enter into interna-
tional relations. and they may yet be
recognized and rightly recognized by
other powers"
