EnrthoueIeS Didn't Disturb Him

In the winter of 1899 Marion Craw- ford was in San Francisco on a lecture tour under Major Pond of New York, who related the following incident: It was during his sojourn in the city that San Francisco was visited by rather severe earthquake. The novelist was stopping at the Palace hotel. Many of the guests had never experienced such e tremor. It was shortly before mid night. and many were in their rooms asleep. In few seconds there were the greatest eonsternation and terror. The halls were filled with excited men and women, and for awhile a panic was imminent. After quiet had been restored ~Mr. Crawford was discovered in the cafe by an excited friend. He was sitting at table eating and read ing paper. His friend rushed up to him and in breathless excitement ex- claimed. Did you feel it?'
 Feel what?" asked Mir Crawford.

 MT. Crawford afterward explained that he had become so accustomed to earthquakes in Italy that he seldom paid any attention to them and that not infrequently they would occur without his notice.

A DETECTIVES
 REMINISCENCE.
BY M. QUAD.
COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY c, B. LEWIS.

o~o~o-o-o-o~oo oo-o-o-o-o-o-o
 When I retired from detective work sitter an experience of 16 years, the
 s.hlic press and my many friends were pleased to say that I had done excel lent service. On the whole. this praise was deserved. but at the same time. in one case at least, I had shown a stu pidity worthy of the greenest patrol man on London's police force. I had been at Scotland Yard for three years when I removed my family to Queen street. It was to an apartment house, and we took the second floor. On the floor above was a married couple nam- ed Hadan. The man. as 1 came to un- derstsnd. was a manufacturing jeweler in small way. The Hadans lived very quietly and made no display, and the wife kept very much to herself. Not as detective, but as an occupant, l learned that the husband was home only two nights per week-that is, he came home at $ o'clock on two even- ings out of the seven. remained over night and to breakfast and was seen no more for five days. This had been the programme for year before l came to the house, and was not bit curious over 1t.
 At about the time of my removal l was set to watch in a general way certain dealer in bric-a-brac named Saunders. His shop was good three miles from Queen street He dealt in all manner of art goods second hand.

POLICE BILL PASSED.
Gets Seventeen Majority In Kew
 York Senate.


 Albany, Jan. 3o.-The New York city police bill passed the senate at 25 min utes past 6 o'clock last evening by a sent.
 This is the bill providing for & single headed police commission. By its terms il practically legislates Chief of Police Desery out of office.
 While the mayor has the appointment of the police commissioner under this bill the appointee may at any time be remoy- ed by the governor. His term is five years and his salary ST.5oo. He has two deputies. which he himself shall choose. The bill will come up in the assembly today. and an effort will be made to jam it through.
 The debate on the bill occupied the day in the senate. Senators ponnelly and Foley, Democrats, attacked the meas ure and protested against the partisan advantage which they claimed the ma -jol " was taking. Senators Elsberg and S.l.er. Rep. hlicans, of New York city defended the bill and its constitutionality. Senator Stranahsn spoke as sponsor for the measure and said that it should be passed without amendment.
 The attitude of Senator Maltby, Re publican, of St. Lawrence county created a stir when he spoke on the measure. His argument against the bill was even more forceful and effective than that of the Democratic senators. But in condemning the bill in its present form he declared in favor of a metropolitan police bill and said that the state should take unto itself the administration of the police affairs of New York city.

 CIPHER
 and it had been pretty we'll established that he bought goods without asking any questions. In watching him l as- sumed another identity and became customer. We came to be on quite friendly terms, and I fiattered myself that he had not the slightest suspicion of the part I was playing. At one time and another I was the means of enabling a number of householders to recover stolen goods Saunders had bought. but the man always evaded the law. I got to know that he lived in Jane street, only a few blocks away, where he had a wife and one child One of our men occupied room in the same house. and In a casual way he had learned that Saunders was home only two nights per week. He came and went as did my neighbor Hadan.
 A year after I began watching the bric-a-brac shop there were complaints made about certain merchant tailor named Davison. He was making suits to order so cheap that other tailors de clared the goods must be stolen. AS
 
 stolen from a tailor in a town 50 miles away were found in his shop. but be proved himself clear of the law by narrow margin I became a customer and an acquaintance. I brought GUS toners to him, as I had to Saunders. There were many times when We had a glass of ale and pipe together, and from the very outset I used my best efforts to get on to his little game. | He continued to make suits to order | far cheaper than his rivals, but though | his shop was searched again and again no more suspicious goods were found Davison was full of talk and seemed | to be without suspicion. but I got DO | information from him to help my case. | early ascertained that he lived in | Montgomery place and had wife and | two children. By the merest accident | I further learned that MT. Davison was home only three nights per week. and l am honest enough to confess that did not connect the circumstance with the domestic life of Hadan or Saun- ders. The reason I didn't was because had not yet suspected Hadan of any thing and because 1 had no case against the other two.
 As to Hadan. living in the same house with me, he cultivated my ac- quaintance. He told me of his busi- ness, invited me to lunch with him and was as frank and open as aEy man I ever met. On half dozen occasions he invited me to drop into his work | rooms in case 1 found myself near them, and admit took quite liking to him. His wife was more reserved and less to be seen. but yet the four of us went to the theater occasionally in company, and she was agreeable if not talkative Hadan was a fair sized man. who always shaved smooth. His reddish hair was scant. one of bis front teeth broken, and he hmped a little. from an old accident. Any policeman could have picked him out of . crowd so . Geeezknta0n SANSdsEl wN (

larger man. with hair turning srac. perfect teeth and side whiSkers. DavI- son was a smaller man than the other two, with black hair, black mus tache and prominent wart on his cheek. Hadan had the voice of a woman: Saunders spoke slowly and with growl; Dawson had what might be termed fair voice.
 Now. then. for six years I knew these three men, and two of them were un- der espionage. I talked with them, ate with them. drank with them and never imbibed the fainteSt idea that I was the biggest fool in the world. One day a man who was in a machine shop not far from detective headquarters was killed by accident. l happened to be almost the first one on hand. 1 recog- nized him at once as the tailor, and the body was taken home. While doing his work the undertaken found that the black hair and mustache and wart were all false. This was revelation even to the wife. The affair was pub lished in the papers and in less than two days 1t was found that Hadan, Saunders and EaviSon were ont and the same man. He had padded his body to increase his size and apparent weight. and a false tooth, whiskers, mustache and wart had done the rest. You Ill say I ought to have detected the cheat by the voice. In an ordinary case. yes, but this man had made study of disguising his voice and was doubtless natural mimic to begin with. l never caught a tone to make me suspect.
 You will say that a good detective ought to penetrate such shallow dis guises as false whiskerS. In answer to that let me say that whiSkers or mustache can be made to look so genu- inc that no living man can detect the cheat. The wart was a new dodge and one l was not up to. It was so well done that I had seen the man prick 1t with pin and cringe a little as he did it. l should have felt bad enough at being fooled even had there been no case in 1t, but there was a case. The Silversmith was fence" for thieves, the bric-a-brac man was another, and the tailor was third. He was mar ried to three different women: he lived in three different parts of the city; he carried on three occupations; he repre- sented three different men. All this he did successfully for six or seven years and but for the fatal accident might have gone on for years more. During his career he had made a for tune. and never a person had suspect ed the disguises. It seems as if a wife should have detected them, but the three did not. or at least so claimed He divided his time between them, passed as a respectable member of so- ciety. and they accepted his excuses for his absence without question. In each case he told his wives that he travelled so many days per week, and in each case he left the house and returned to it with hand baggage. Yes; I was made fool of; but, fortunately, I was the only one who knew it. and l may give the fact away now without my identity being suspected. It would have added more glory to my record to have caught up the sly rascal, but now and then the sharpeSt of our profession are out witted, and if I made stupid blunder in the one case I have offset it dozen times over in making a success of oth- CTS.

The Episcopal Church on Divorc

The Episcopal Church on Divorce.
 A good many persons seem to have received the impression that the Epis- copal church has altered its rule about the remarriage of divorced persons. That is not true. A committee appoint ed at the last general convention has unanimously recommended that Epis- copal ministers shall be forbidden to unite in matrimony persons who have been divorced so long as the former spouses of such persons are living. It has also recommended that divorced persons, except innocent parties in di- yorces secured for adultery, who mar " again during their former spouse's lifetime shall be excluded from the sacraments of the church, except when in extremis or when penitent and liv- ing apart from the husband or wife last acquired. But these recommenda- tions are not yet laws of the church and won't be until the next general convention. which meets in San Fran cisco. has ratified them.-E. S. Martin in Harper's Weekly,
