NO CROOKS AT
THE EXPOSITION.
The Project of Police on the Lookout
for Green Goods men of all
Nations.

Paris, April 19.-If you were sand
hagged during the last Paris EXPOSE
ton, you need not be afraid of suffer
ing the same experience on this trip
to the French capital. The Project of
Police, Mortified by the accounts of the
atrocities that took place here in 1889.
has taken the most elaborate precau-
tons against a repetition of the same.
For six months Paris will be the most
perfectly governed and best controlled
city in the world.
Six months ago, NJ Lupine, the Paris
Project, communicated with the heads
of police of all the principal cities of
the globe. His letter asked them for
the names and the photographs of all
the criminals in their rogUes' galleries
and in the famous criminal lists; also
all aliases. To this he added request
for a personal description of each man,
his measurements, his thumb prints
and biography.
After obtaining these NJ. Lupine de-
termined to go further. Knowing that
each country has it's own peculiar form

The weIl-dressed man has now come
to the conclusion that the Prince of
Wales was right, after all, when he
decided that mo man should wear
corresponding vest" And he has come
to the conclusion always preached by
the London tailors that the vest
makes the suit With the latest suits
there are vests, to be sure, but the man
who purchases invariably selects
fancy vest to wear with the new suit.
There is no arbitrary rule for the Sc
lection of a vest. A dude of April
wore vest of deep green duck figured
with sun spots; another wore one of
Roman blue with turquois crescents.
The widest latitude is allowed and
vests of all materials are chosen in all
colors. A recent fancy is for a vest
which shall be entirely figured, none
OF the groundwork showing.
the latest agony in vests is the en-
broidered linen and those who enjoy
knitting, crOcheting and sewing for
their mankind can indulge their fan
cieS in the selection of a pattern for
the plain brown and white linen vests
White pique can be very nicely en-
brOidered in small silk crescents of
white and linens can be worked in red
or blue or other color.
Applique in neat figures of silk is al
so used and in some cases the results
are very excellent. Tiny circles in
Turkish red taffeta We're appliqued up
on a vest of old brown cloth; and an
other vest was appliqued with the
! smallest diamonds in blue upon a
/ ground of stone gray. The newest
| vests are cut almost pointed in front
with broad lapels and with small in
| conspicuous buttons.

America and the hidden treasure of
Spain, he wrote to each great chief of
police, asking for a description of the
particular vice in which his country
excelled. If Sweden had a local swim
ding dodge he wanted to know it; and
if Russia had her criminal secrets he
desired to be posted in them.
In answer there came back an appa1l-
ing list of the habits of vice. One Ger
man Chief of Police warned the Paris
Prefect of the swindler who travels
with baggage and a valet as a German
Baron. He puts up at the best hotels
and makes the acquaintance of the I'M
wary Cne day he looks troubled and
scans his mail anxiOusly; after time
he tells his new friend the secret of
his discomfort. The remittance which
the manager of his baronial estates
should have sent him has not arrived.
He will communicate with his friend
Nathan Rothschild; no, that would be
too humiIating. He will wait, starve
perhaps. When thai stupid major
dOmo had only to mail the check All,
the fellow has gone and got drunk; the
same thing happened in 1889, when his
father was in Paris.
AN EASY GAME.
Of course the stranger, especially if
he be an American, is filed with pity
and brings out fat purse. win the
Baron be so kind as to accept $500, yes,
even a thOuSand?'
OF course the Baron accepts; and
when the American looks MIN up IN the
evening he finds that the baronial par
ty has hastily decamped, valet and all,
leaving his baggage and an unpaid
board bill
The mysterious man who speaks with
a Spanish accent and who can talk in
all the languages of Europe is also
looked for. The authorities of Madrid
have furnished a description of his
| methods.
He is an Englishman, generally, who,
being a biblomaniac, is well posted in
the. history of old Spain. He tells a
story of how, reading one day of a Ger
! tain old Castle where was buried the
treasure of the Moors, before they were
| driven out of Spain, he determined to
go and look for the Castle. To his joy
! he finds it uninhabited; and hires it.
One night, digging in the cellar where
his researches led him, he comes upon
portion of the treasure. He exhibits
rare Persian turquoise and the emer-
aids of Egypt. They are uncut and
not very brilliant, but of great value if
developed. But it will take money;
a company must be formed to unearth
the treasure. In a few months it will

By Felix Adler.

In the light of the new astronomy our
earth has dwind1ed. We have learned
that we live on the outer shell OF
little globe. which is but mere speck
of dust amid the infinities, not as we
formerly supposed the center OF the
universe. We pignies dwell in a lew
protected hooks of this outer shell OF
the earth. A little too much heat or
little too much cold and we perish
Underneath our feet still blaze the eter-
nal fires that were kindled when this
earth lay on the bosom of it's parent
sun. Above our heads we can see the
unending array of young worlds and
old worlds and dead worlds.
This new conception of the earth
does not logically contradict the old
dogmatic beliefs. but it creates an at
titude of mind unfavorable to them
For instance, the orthodox doctrine
of a redeemer rests upon the assump-
in order to be acceptable to his maker.
This doctrine implies that a man is
either altogether good or not good at
all. 1t is plainly contrary to the mod
ern idea of development, which teaches
that the impossible is not required of
u.s. Absolute perfection is unattain-
able, but we know that the road to per-
lection lies open and that if we would
be men in the highest sense we must
travel it.
The early Christians knew that no
human being could be perfectly good
and yet they believed that perfection
was required of them. Hence a re-
deemer who could impart to them his
goodness was necessary. With the
wider outlook We. have ro-day we see

that such miraculous intervention is
not needed Our idea Of perfection has
been modified by the discovery OF the
laws Of human development. Just as
we perceive that II is nearer to the
truth to believe in a boundless instead
of a narrow world. so also we accept
the idea of progress and character cul-
ture- In short, a new temper Of mind
has been created, which is unfavorable
to the acceptance of the old dogmas-
Many are unable from sentimental
reasons to give up the old beliefs. eve=
though they have accepted the new
Others draw a curtain over the dogmas
and declare that action is more Inn
portant than belief.
But in the latter case the dogmas
are only kept in the background. not
abandoned. Again, the ministers OF
too many churches take their ideas OF
good from the mere surface of things
They preach socialism to-day and inn
perialism tomorrow. In fact, the pull
pit tends to become in too many cases
just the echo of the newspaper
We are told by DR.. Briggs that the
great aim is to reconcile science and re-
ligion. But is this readjustment pos
sibie to religion as additionally de-
What we must have is a clear ra-
tional basis for our goodness. It is not
true that the deed is Independent of
the creed. Every false idea we hold
materially affects our conduct.
We must constantly be prepared to
receive new ideas and entertain new
| out1ooks. The contribution which
Jesus made to the moral teachings of
| the world is invaluable, but it is not
| final There is room on the ethical
| tree for a higher branch.
We cannot get sufficient help in our
| political or conjugal or Industrial
| duties from the teaching of the New
/ Testament. The doctrine of brotherly
| love in the abstract is not enough. The
! whole social problem is how to prop
| erly apply the principles of brother

A KIwI IN SAN FRANCISCO.

A sailor who recently reached San
Francisco brought with him from New
Zealand a kiwi or Wingless apteryx
The bird is about the size of common
chicken, but lays an egg weighing II
ounces, one-fourth as large as the bird
Ordinarily the apteryx lives on worms
and bugs, but the sailor had taught his
specimen to subsist on a meat ciet.

Pickpockets and sneak thieves are

least, will be robbed of those terrors
which menace the visitor at ordinary
