IDENTIFICATION

FINGER PRINT IDENTIFICATION.
Tn detective novels inger-prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part, but truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger print system of Identifying
criminals in India has been made so
narfect that it would enable any intel
lsent person in a. few minutes to dis
ting,1isb the individual, if necessary,
from all other persons now living in the
world. or if data were available, from
all other persons who have lived since
the creation of man. The system is
simplicity itself, and there is none or
the elaboration of process or the cosby
and delicate machinery required Tor the
anthropometric system. All that Is
needed is a piece Of tin, Z sheet or paper
and some printers ink. The mixed I'M
pressions of the ten digits are taken and
filed in the proper compartment OF the
proper pigeon-hole, and 1t is on the
classification of records and their dlstrl-
button into the pigeon-holes that the
success of the system depends. Every
finger mark shows lines Of the loop,
or the "whorl' type, and by simple
table Of the combinations of these types
in the ten digits, 1,024 main classes are
made These are again sub-divided ac-
cording to minor details, and the sub
divisions can be further divided ad in
finitum if necessary; but with the table
before him any person of ordinary in
telligence can place his finger on the
corresponding card to a record in his

HEARTS NOT in THE FIGHT
Kansas Soldier Says the Troops Don't
Think They Are Altogether In
the Right.

Independence. July 26.-The following
letter was received in this city from
George Terrell of company G,Twentieth
Kansas:
San Fernando, May 21.-Dear Sister:
1 received your letter yesterday and 1
was glad to hear from home l suppose
you think it queer that don't write
oftener, but we haven't got as good an
opportunity to write out here as we had
IN Manila; stamps have been hard to
get.
I read in the papers that Otis sent
a cablegram to Washington saying the
volunteers wanted to stay and see it
out, but have never heard one say he
wanted to stay. The boys are all max
ing the best Of it, but they don't think
they ought to be held here. Our regi-
ment has not been off the firing line
since we started out; and before this
war, one month was as long as any
regiment was on the firing line, but
Otis don't seem to care much for the
volunteers. He keeps them in the field
and holds the regulars back, for fear
they will get hurt.
The most of the boys are still up and
around, but that is about all; they look
worn out. I don't think they would go
much farther if they were called on to
go. Lon Hudson looks aWfully bad, but
is still up and around, and expect if
you could see us you would think we
all look pretty tough.
The boys always go when and where
they are told, but their hearts are not
in the fight; they don't think they are
altogether in the right, and don't fight
like they would if they had got at the
Spaniards. From what I read in the
papers the people back there think we
are fighting a few savages with bows
and arrows and spears, but it is a mis-
take. We are fighting people that have
fought for years and are armed as well
as ourselves, all but artillery. We have
more artillery than they. but that is all
They are armed with either MauSer or
Remington rifles, and the most of them
have large knives.
I guess our fighting is over now, and
when you get this I will be in Manila,
perhaps on a boat. GEORGE.

DOING ITS WORK.
Commercial Club Booklet At
tracts Favorable Attention.

The booklets which were prepared by
the Commercial club to set forth the
advantages Of Topeka to the people
over the country are becoming well dis
tributed. The majority of them were
given out to merchants who subscribed
for them for the purpose of sending
them out in their correspondence. In
this way they have been brought to the
notice of moneyed men living elsewhere.
Many more have been sent out by Sec
rotary Anderson in different ways, and
Of the $4,000 that were originally print
ed. comparatively few are left.
That these booklets make a favorable
impression wherever they go is shown
by a letter which has just been received
by Major Anderson from H. B. Cullum,
chairman of the deep water utilization
committee, of Galveston, Texas. Mr..
Cullum wrote to the Topeka CONNER
cial club, asking for its endorsement
of the work of his committee which was
given at the July meeting of the club.
In acknowledging the receipt of this
endorsement, Mr.. CulIUm says in a let
ter to Major Anderson:
You have strong men with you who
have made your city the cleanest,
healthiest, most progressive city in the
west.
L wish you would favor me with 20
more of those little books, if you can
conveniently, as they are an object
lesson. I wish to show the city coun-
ell and others here what can be done
with energy employed in the right
direction by straightforward men"
The object for which the deep water
utilization committee is working Just
now is to secure a military depot on the
Galveston harbOr. The purpose for
which the committee is organized is to
secure recognition of the Galveston deep
water harbOr for shipping purposes,
and as Kansas is greatly interested in
this. the TODeka. Commercial cII1h wa c

COULTER CENSURED.
Atchison Post G. A. R. Defends Pen
sion Commissioner Evans.

It seems that o. H. Coulter depart
ment commander of the G. A. R., IS
meeting some obstacles in his fight on
Pension Commissioner Evans. John A
Martin Post G. A. R. of Atchison, has
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, In general order No. 2, is
sued from department headquarters, de-
partment of Kansas, G. A. R., June 10,
1899, the following request occurs: We
deem it important that each post
should express their views on the sub
ject-the management of the pension
Departmental language that can be
understood by those charged with the
management of the pension office and,
Whereas, John A. Martin Post No
SO, believes that it is the duty of all
good citizens, and especially OF all OLD
soldiers, to do everything in their pow
er to aid and assist the president of the
United States in the present crisis;
therefore, be it resolved,
First, That to worry and annoy the
president with complaints against the
pension commissioner at this time, is
bad citizenship, and unworthy of the
Grand Army of Kansas, whose mem
bers, as a whole, do not, in our opln-
ion, indorse any such action.
Second, That it would seem as If
certain comrades of this department in
high authority, had forgotten that the
G.. A. R. was created for something
raid upon the pension department, with
a view to swelling the pension lists, and
the pockets of INSCRIPTIONS pension at
tOrneyS; and that their present attack
would seem to justify the charges that
have been made against them as treas
ury hooters and public plunderers.
Third, That we, the officers and
members of John A Martin Post de-
string to fully comply with that part
Of General Order No. 2, that asks us to
make plain to the officials at Washing
ton our opinion of the management of
the pension office hereby express our
full and abiding faith in President Nc
Kinley and Pension Commissioner
Evans to deal justly with every honest
for a strict compliance with the law,
when extraordinary expenditures de-
mand extraordinary vigilance, is to trail
our banner in the dust, and cause all
with shame that it's management should
have fallen in such unworthy hands

Mate In Alaska Was of On
sound Mind.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, July 26-Alfred
Solid has arrived here from Dawson City,
Alaska He bears the latest news rela-
tive TO Arthur Goddard, son of Harry
Goddard. a prominent citizen of this place,
foully murdered in Dawson by his cabin
mate, James Prater May 81 When the
news reached here it was cOnjectured that
the boy was insane, rendered so by a skull
fracture received in early youth. Again
rumors came that the Canadians did not
take cognizance of his insanity, had called
an early trial and sentenced him to be
hanged in August. Now Mr.. Solid comes
home with the information that young
Goddard is positively insane and is so re-
garded by the Canadian authorities. and
the people of Dawson. The superior judge
will be tried September Is, has expressed
a belief of insanity regarding the boy. Ac-
cording to all the details gained from Mr..
Solid, the unfortunate youth will be re-
Heved all responsibility at the trial

Roman Catholic RefUrmatOry
Ship Clarence Destroyed.
Flames Break Out While Hun
dreds Are on Board.
SAVED BY FERRY BOAT
Threw on Water Until All Oc-
cupants Escaped.
Sank In Three Hours After the
Fire Started.

Liverpool. July 26.-The Roman Cath
Ole refOrmatory ship Clarence was de-
stroyed by fire early this morning. 1t
was but a few moments after the fire
was discovered until the great three
decker was wrapped in flames. Intense
excitement prevailed until it became
known that the hundreds of lads and
officers on board the Clarence had been
saved by the ferry boats Mersey and
FREELY which quickly made fast to the
burning vessel and began pumping wa
ter upon the flames.
The boys on board the Clarence
worked with the utmost discipline until
they were forced to leave the ship with
the officers. The captains family and
Bishop Whiteside, who spent the night
on board the Clarence lost their per
sOnal effects. The crew of the Mersey
had a, narrow escape, having barely time
to regain their own craft which had
the utmost difficulty in getting clear of
the burning vessel when the bulwarks
of the Mersey were beginning to take
fire. Three hours after the fire was
discovered, the Clarence's back broke
and she settled slowly. This was the
second Catholic refOrmatOry ship of the
same name that burned on the Mersey
river. Her predecessor was fired by
boys on board of her.

MOSTLY ITALIANS
Are the Immigrants Who Come In
the Storage.

New York. July 26.-At today's ses-
sion of the SUBJ committee of the United
Industrial commission, Roman DObbler,
chief of the boarding inspectors of i'm
migration at the barge office, testified
that his experience was that clerks COM
ing to the United States in the second
cabin with $40 or $50 were the first to
become public charges. The witness
prepared a table showing the compare
tive arrivals of passengers in the first
and second cabins and the Steerage. On
such lines as the North German Lloyd
Anchor and White Star lines, the num-
her of saloon passengers almost equall-
ed the arrivals in the steerage. In YES
sells from Mediterranean ports, however,
the steerage passengers greatly exceed
ed the other cIasss. MOrnons, he said,
always came on vessels OF the Anchor
line from Glasgow in the second cabin.
His figures showed that while 2,O83 pas
sengers came from Italian ports in the
steerage only 25 came as cabin passen-
gers.
Mr.. Dobbler said many persons came
in the second cabin in order to avoid the
rigid scrutiny at the barge office. He
believed many of the new arrivals had
been coached as to their answers to
questions put to them here.
