Apathy.

:, A great deal is heard these days abou.
apathy In the Republican party. and
the managers are doing everything IL
their power to stir up enthusiasm,
which is right and proper. but this lack
of enthusiasm Is not apathy at all. and
the enthusiasm will come In good time.
In the last campaign Tin 1889 there was
the same apparent absence OF in,eres,
among Ohio county Republicans. One
evening meetings were scheduled for
both North Wheeling and the Eighth
ward, and Candidate Harry ". Mcclure
was to appear at both gatherings. and
at neither was there q crowd lorSe
enough to make 1t worth while turning
on the flow OF oratory Col Mcclure and
others had prepared for the occasion.
Finally Mcclure and others who had at
tended the Turner hall fiasco started
for the South Wheeling gathering. and
at Just about the same time the mana
gers of the South Wheeling meeting
started for North Wheeling, hoping u
crowd had gathered there. The two
delegations met near the market house,
and great was the dismay OF the mo-
ment-but Ohio county came along
with Republican majority OF ovetl
$500 few days later. Surface apa-
thy. 1t will be gathered from this re-
cital. is really OF no significance.

The Bertillion system.

Chief Clemans. since his return from
the Cincinnati meeting OF chiefs OF po-
lice of the United States. has been an
earnest advocate. OF the Bertillion sys-
tenn of Identification. and has hopes
that It may bereyentually adopted here.
The city commissioners OF Youngstown
have recently given Chief Mcdowell
permission to use the system there. The
Bertlllion system Is bastd on the fact
that however much a criminal may
change his appearance and disguise
himself. he cannot change the length
and size OF his bores. In the Bertll-5
lion system the circumference. length
and With ot-the skull. the length OF
one of the bones OF the leg. and several
other bones are most accurately meas
ured. No two human beings have meas
urements that coincide SO that the
Bertillior measurements are absolutely
certain when, It comes TO Identifying
criminal who has once been measured
by the system, Besides the measure
ments. notes OF the pecullarities OF the
prisoner. the color of his hair and eyes
and his complexion. his length 5.:and
weight are made. and two photographs.
front and side Views. are taken. All
of this data Is sent to 4 central bureau
In Chicago. where hundreds Of thou
sands OF descriptions are kept on file In
such an ingenious manner that any sin
gle description can be obtained In few
minutes.

the job att o'clock the same afternoon.
Last year nearly two,days was required
In cleaning the south basin. The ex-
PLANTATION Is that Mr.. Oliver this year
picked his men-there were no. slug
snrds. everybody working with will.
About 500 fish. mostly cats and bass,
were found in the basin; and there were
three{of each that were Of large size.i
the Others being very small. and having
originally been introduced into the res
,eryoirs through the supply main from
theeriyer. ~; "
While the north basin was being
cleaned Saturday, the CITY drew It's sup
ply entirely from the:s basin. the

The Silent Vote.

j a /. 81
Said well known business man In
the course of chat last evening: THE
Republicans are going to profit by the
silent vote this year. There are thou
sands of business men who are thor-
oughly satisfied with the present era OF
prosperity. and they do not intend 10
take any chances by voting the oppo-
sltion parte into power. Politics with
them is matter OF business they are
not going to get out and carry a torch
or wave d flag. or shout themselves
hoarse-nelther are they saying any
thlng-but their votes will be cast for
the candidate and the party whose pol
icles insure continued business Pres
pertty."
