BANDIT CHIEF OF POLICE.
President Diaz Sets a Thief to Catch
Thieves.

President Diaz of Mexico is credited
with the invention of an ingenious
method of Kidding the country Of ban
dts, including train robbers, which is
working like a charm. A desperate
of more than common intelligence was
captured about two years ago, and the
president interviewed him in prison
several times. The bandit told him
that want of occupation was at the
root of the whole trouble. The presi-
dent said: Il will test you. You shall
be liberated, and 1 will appoint you
chief of police in your native district.
You are to guard all the trains and
protect passengers at the way stations.
You can appoint your own subord4-
mates from your followers. You will
be rewarded for maintaing good order
in your district, and held responsible
for all lawless acts by whomsoeyer
committed"
There has not been robbery in that
district (Which was formerly a dan
gerous one for tourists to pass
through since that appointment was
made. The system has been extended,
and now the solitary uniformed police
man on the platform of nearly every
small station in Mexico is am ex-rob-
ber He is known and respected as a
superior person by the poems and
loafers, who know that he will permit
no petty thieving. He, in turn, knows
that he is closely watched by a superb
or officer who is in the employ of the
eX-bandit.
These facts are given upon the au-
thority of prominent Philadelphia,
who recently returned from Mexico,
where he had spent several mt nths In
investigating the industrial conditions
of that country. 1t can be belieyed
that the statement here made is true;
and it is certainly very curious and
interesting solution of a serious prob

AN UNAPPRECIATED PASTOR.

Here is newly imported Scotch
story, minus the "hoot-mon," dialect:
One Sunday morning the minister
arose in his pulpit and said: "Breth-
rem, | wish to announce that have re-
signed my pastorate, and that 1 will
not occupy this pulpit after today.
have several reasons for leaving you.
In the first place, you do not love me,
for you have not paid me a shilling OF
my salary this year. In the second
place, you do not love God, for you are
doing nothing toward extending His
kingdom on earth. God does not love
you, for there has not been a funeral
in this parish for months. You do not
love one another, for l have married
but one couple in the last two years.
These being the facts, have decided
to leave this field of labor, so I have
accepted position as chaplain In the
prison at Glasgow And now I will
preach my farewell sermon from the
text, 4 go to prepare place for you"

SEA LIONS AS RAT CATCHERs.

The wonderful alertness and activity
of sea lions in the water which enable
them to get fish for food in arctic
seas are qualities that are manifest in
a still more striking way by the cap
tive specimens at the zoo. These three
sprightly individuals in the big out
door tank have developed into rat
eatchers that never miss their prey.
Rats are pests that naturally thrive
about the animal houses, and at nights,
when the zoo is deserted by visitors,
the rodents run in all directions, They
are fond Of water, and they findkheir
way in considerable numbers to the

RETENTION OF FORT OMAHA
Major General Miles Fnyors Locating
Another Military Post Near
the City.

Yesterday, accompanied by President
Miller and other officers Of the exposition
and number of prominent citizens, General
Nelson A. Miles visited the site OF old Fort
Omaha. He drove over the grounds and
along the deserted avenues. On his way
back he remarked:
1T is too bad that this tract Of land can,
not be used as a site for a fort. Twice l
have recommended to the War department
that this ground be retained by the govern
ment
THE time will come, 1 apprehend when
an army post, a sort of an adjunct to Fort
Crook, will be built up here. Fort Crook
is all right in its way but this tract ought
to be used Omaha is centrally located and
has railroad facilities so that troops can be
shipped to any point in the United States
on almost moments notice. This being so,
it ought to be the one point in the country
for mobilizing the army in time of peace.
"Of course at this time there is no danger
OF an Indian outbreak. but if there should
be trouble Omaha would be the natural point
for concentrating the army. BY all means
Fort Omaha should be retained and an effort
made to secure the location OF an army post
here. I believe this will be done in time"
