Rurp1ars Shoot.

Wednesday night burglars attempted

frightened away just as an entrance had
been effected. The night police, Shea
and Carter started down alleys east of
Main street, Shea going north and Car
ter south, about 2 O'Clock Thursday
morning. Shea started into the alley
under the bell tower when a man step
ped out of the she'd back OF the Badger
store and fired a pistol directly at him.
He Immediately returned the fire and
as he did so another man stepped into
the alley and the two started north as
fast as they could run, Shea firing four
shots at them before they went out of
sight over the hill east OF the brewery
on Washington street. An examination
showed that the men had broken the
glass door in the rear of the store and
were preparing to enter when Shea
started into the alley and the sentinel

POLICE AND POPULATION.
Some Statistics About the Ratio Be-
tween the Two.

Today a uniformed, organized and
disciplined police force for a system
attic patrol of the streets exists, not
only in all large urban centers of the
world, but also in every considerable
town in Europe and America. The
London force Of $4,000 constitutes by
far the largest body, while other large
cities follow in the order of their pop
ulation: New York, $500; Paris, 1900;
Berlin, 4,200i Vienna, 3,400 Chicago,
5000. These are not only the larg-
est in total number of men but in
each case they represent the largest
number of policemen in proportion, as
compared with other towns in the
same country. In general, it may be
the larger the town, the larger the
ratio of policemen in population. Thus
in the United States and Great Britain
municipalities of from 100000 to 200,-
900 population usually have about ten
policemen to each 10000 inhabitants,
and in Germany from eight to nine
per 10000. In centers Of about $780,
UUC pJFDuIdIIOu luSlS dlS usually SOulC-
where near fifteen policemen to each
10000 while New York has twenty,
London twenty-fOur, Berlin twenty-five
and Paris twenty-eight to each TO-
900 inhabitants. The rule that the
ratio of policemen to population in
creases with the side Of the urban
center is true only within each coun-
try. Some of the second and third
population rank possess the greatest
proportionate number Of policemen,
Rio de Janeiro, with a population OF
100000 had in 1892 a police force of
over 1000 men, equal to 36.5 for every
10000 inhabitants. Calcutta, India,
and Kingston, Jamaica, had a ratio Of
forty-two to 10000, and Havana, Cuba,
at the time (three years before the
outbreak of the insurrection) had
1,465 policemen to $4,000 population,
the enormous ratio of 66.5 to 10000

JUST A ROMANCE.

The following rather romantic story
from Madrid, if true, may help to &C
count for the defeat of Cervera's fleet,
the destruction of the Spanish armada
in the Philippines, the capture Of San
tiago, the loss of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the East Indian colonies of Spain and
all the other misfortunes which that
nation has suffered, and re-establish
the ancient theory that the opal is an
unlucky jewel.
When AlphOnsO XII. was in exile in
Paris, according to this yarn, he be-
came acquainted with the Countess de
Castiglione, who had the reputation Of
| France, and promised that if he was
ever restored to his throne she should
share it with him. In 1875, after the
dissolution Of the republicc, he was
called upon to reign, but he had no
sooner met pretty Mercedes Montpen-
sier granddaughter Of Louis Philippe,
than he forgot all about his vows and
the charms of the French countess and
was quickly married. But the count
ess did not forget about him. With
malice in her heart and deep desire
for revenge she obtained from some
dealer in supernatural merchandise
one Of the most brilliant opals ever
known, which had brought misfortune
upon every person who possessed it.
She had it newly mounted in diamonds
and sent it as a wedding present TO
the bride.
AS everybody knows, Mercedes died
before the end of the honeymoon, and
IN the distribution of her effects the
opal went to her grandmother, who
Immediately took the smallpox and
lived but a few weeks A sister of
Queen Mercedes inherited the ring and
speedily succumbed to it's fatal infu-
ence.
For many years the baleful jewel lay
in the treasury of the house of Mont
pensier, but in the winter of 1894-5,
the duke of Montpensier sent it to the
queen, giving her an account of its
character and begging her to have it
destroyed. Instead of obeying his in
junction, Christina took it to the royal
chapel and hung it about the neck Of
the virgin that presides at that altar.
Up to that hour her reign had been
unusually peaceful and prosperous,
but all at once conditions changed, and
trouble began to brew in every por-
ton of the Spanish domain. Revolu- |
tons broke out in Cuba and the Phil |
ippine islands, crops failed, financial |
panics ensued, conspiracies were dis
and everything that could in
jure and annoy the government seemei
to come in quick succession. The ex-
PLANTATION Of all this is that the Holy
Mother was offended by the gift Of the
accursed opal, and millions Of people
IN Spain believe that their national dis
asters are due to that fact.
