There arrived in this city. this after
noon, a young man answering to the not
unmusical name of Napoleon Jones.
The name is suggestive of two great
men-the hero of many notable battles;
the historic prisoner of Elba and st.
Helena. and the big brewer of ale who
keeps politicians guessing where he will
be at on the next turn of the wheel.
Napoleon Jones has not come here to
sell patents OF titles to those aspiring to
be princes and "jukes," neither is he
booming Jones ale.
He is here just to try the detective in
stincts OF the community.
Now for aught that is known there may
be an embryo vidocq I'm Providence.

PICKED OUT HIS MAN.
When Providence had the town police
system, IN the days before the lamented
Thomas A. Doyle kicked life and desire
for something new into this city, Jack
Murray, now Lieut.. Murray, of the Third
police precinct. IL you please, was on the
"foorce."
In those days the coppers were promi
nent because of the big saucer-shaped
badges they wore-something akin TO a
tin pie-plate.
A man was wanted I'm New Hampshire
for shooting a police captain. and n gem

lished.
One day Jack Murray saw n man turn
the street corner. Instantly he said 10

Depew Called the Best-Dressed Man
in the Senate.
Who is the best-dressed man in the
Senate? Some say Hale, of Maine.
some Plat, of New York; others be-
lieve Wolcott, of Colorado, but, by an
informal jury which was recently in
vited to pass upon the question, Sen
ator Depew, of New York, was unani-
mously chosen. When Mr.. Depew was
told by a World correspondent that
this decision had been reached, he
said with a chuckle:
That's n sartorial untruth."
81 am glad to know that my hab.
it of dress has been approved by the
jury. But really, l don't know that
can lay claim to this proud distinc-
ton"
Senator Depew is one of the best
dressed men in the Senate. There are
men who display more fiashy raiment
and who have their clothes cut in the
latest English fashion, but none who
dress in better taste or who exhibit
more style and simplicity than Sena-
tor Depew. His clothes are cut from
the same pattern that he has used for
many years
He always wears a black frock coat,
silk-faced; dark-striped trousers, and
usually a double-breasted waistcOat of
the same material as the coat. In the
summer his style of dress does not
vary, except that he discards the
black frock for short box coat of
lighter material.
The Depew cravats are the most
striking article of his wardrobe. His
street ties are OF the four-in-hand
style, tied snugly about his high
collar. He has one or two black silk
cravats, but the greater part Of his
neckwear is bright-hued. The Senator
has a large stock so that he wears a
different tie every day in the week.
The Depew shirts, with cuffs at
| tached, are of plain white linen, not
especially expensive. His trousers are
always faultlessly creased and never
become baggy at the knees.
The Depew shoes are of black calf
skin. soft and easy Sometimes he
wears CATERS. Usually he prefers the
button shoe. His assortment of hosiery
is not extraordinary, and his taste
runs to plain black. He shaves him
self every morning and goes to the
barber's chair only when his hair and
whiskers need trimming. He has no
fancy waistcoats and shrinks from
striped shirts and plaid socks.-N. Y.

State Senator Thomas Bucklin, of
Colorado, is in New Zealand investiga-
ting the system of direct taxation in
the British colonies, and according to
a letter from the correspondent of the
New York Times he sees in the land
tax a solution of the trust difficulty by
first establishing the principal and then
gradually putting on the screws and
squeezing monopoly to death. Mr..
Bucklin Is to report the result of his
Investigations to the next session of the
Colorado legislature. In an interview
with New Zealand's premier the latter
expressed his qualification at the fact
that some of the United States are
eager to adopt the advanced social leg
islation of New Zealand. Mr.. Seddon
has also drawn attention to the fact
that New Zealand has been in advance
of Henry George in the matter of sug-
gesting tax on the unimproyed val
ues of land. The first land tax on un-
improved land values was passed in
1873, by Sir George Grey, Sir Robert
Stout, and Mr.. Balance, when Sir
George Grey was premier, after being
twice governor of the colony, and the
idea was afterward elaborated by Henry
George. New Zealand could therefor
claim to be the first country in the
world to put this reform in operation.

Love II LIQUOR Not Hereditary

Professor Sims Woodhead, speaking
before the Society For the Study Of
Inebriety in England, came to these
conclusions: He held most strongly
that direct transmission Of the taste
for alcohol never occurred. OF course
he accepted very fully the fact that
certain nervous diseases and degenera-
tons involving certain altered and
weakened inhibitory powers are trans
mitted from generation to generation.
These, however, did not always as
sumo the same form, the manifesto
tion of the effect often taking on very
different characters in different gen.
erations.
But whatever character they assum-
ed the result as regards alcohol was
inevitably the same, and until far more
evidence was brought forward than
had yet been presented he should
strongly maintain that what was 80
often spoken Of as an inherited taste
for alcohol was an inherited weakness
and lessened self restraint affecting
many other things besides drink and
that q direct transmission of the taste
for alcohol from parents to children
in constitution otherwise healthy did
not occur. AS with tuberculosis, the
disease was not transmitted, but only
the weakly and unbalanced condition
OF the tissues.-London Hospital.
