The Bertillion System

also recommended in my last report the advisability of using the Bertillion system of measurement. AS informed you this system can be purchased for a small cost. It is used in nearly every city of any size, and the advantages derived from 1t has saved the department several times the amount expended. With this system you photograph the criminal measured, and you might say when you have the Ber- tillion system you also have a rogue's gall lery, another thing that Birmingham is without, and which am sure you will agree with me is greatly needed. I can H.
 ustrate to you several cases that are well known to the public where a criminal has been in custody and has never been recog- nized for want of Identification and the proper proofs.
 I will again request your honorable body to take some steps to have the accommo- dations of the city prison enlarged. The present prison is entirely too small to con- fine the number of prisoners that are ar rested by the department in, and 1t has compelled the mayor a number of times during the past year to remit the fines of a great number of prisoners that have served but part of their time, and release them to make room for the new arrivals. Of course the mayor has always refused to remit the fines in larceny cases, but even those con- fined for other offenses that have some twenty to thirty days to serve ought not to be released after serving about ten days. But this cannot be avoided, as the prison was built to accommodate eighty prisoners. and often there are from 100 to 12o prisoners in jail at one time Something has to be done in these cases. and t comnels the

BILE The county has paid out within
the past six weeks over 5000 to people
residing in Arcola township for spar
row heads, and universal cry of fraud
is heard on every side One individual
received s4s for 2.4OO of the little feath-
cred scalps, while no less than a half
dozen claims have been paid for 200
and 1900 counts each. The lesser
claims range all the way from 900
down to 100 heads, and the grand total
of birds killed, according to the or
ders issued, and paid, is over $4,000.
The general belief is that the heads of
the genuine dead birds have been sold
and resold, and that the county has
been robbed Systematically for some
time. The number of birds purported
to have been killed. as is shown on the
clerks books is believed to be far in
excess of the entire English sparrow
family in the county. The matter is
being freely discussed and public feel

believed the result will be most SEN
sational, and that some of the officials
will be found to have more than a

James O'Neill, who comes to the
Opera House next Monday night, is an
actor whose art is so catholic that il
does not appeal to any one part of the
public, but is a treat to the elite and
hoi polloi alike. This time Mr.. O'Neill
will play D'Artagnan in Sydney Grun-
dy's version of Alexandra Dumas inn
mortal tale of THE Three Musketeers, 81
called for stage purposes THE Muske-
teers." Beerbohm Tree, the celebrated
English actor, appeared in this version
for eight consecutive months at HeI
Majesty's Theatre, London. Mr.. O'Neill
was seen in the same play fOl
nearly the whole Spring season at the
Broadway Theatre, New York, packing
this immense edifice to the doors every
night. Liebler & Co., the promoters Oi
this enterprise. spent $4,000 on the
production before the curtain rose on
the first performance. The scenery was
designed and painted by the five best
scenic artists in New York,-Homel
Emmens, Louis Young, Gates and No
range and Henry Hoyt. AS to per.
fection of properties and costliness o.
costumes, absolutely no expense ha.
been spared by the management. This
