Court, the only court in Great Britain hav- ing jurisdiction in extradition eases.
 "Froest and I had an exciting lookout once for an embezzler from Colorado That was about six years ago and the case was famous at the time, though I forget the embezzlers name. Froest joined me at Queenstown, and we waited the arrival there of the Cunard ship from New York, on which it was believed the fugitive was passenger. Owing to storms the ship was two or three days overdue. and finally we sighted it two hours after midnight one terribly cold and stormy night off Roches Point, the famous entrance to Cork har- Dor. The ship slowed down and we drew alongside in our tug. The ships doctor was first to recognize me, and he hailed me to know what was up, astonished at seeing me in such circumstances. I shouted back to him the name of Froest and he said something about the devil. It took us near ly two hours to find our man amongst the sleeping passengers, but we found him. and Froest put irons on him, locked his state room door, and he and I proceeded to Liv- erpool thence to London, travelling from Liverpool to the metropolis in a special reserved compartment of the first class F'roest travelled like king.
 One Night on a Liner.
 One night Froest was in Queenstown, and he and l decided we would board the White Star liner Majestic off the harbor and go to Liverpool, and on to London for a lark It was S:3O o'clock when we boarded the ship and were welcomed by the officers with honors and assigned to the finest saterooms without charge. We immediately went to the smoking saloon and had a drink, we both being cold and somewhat fatigued While we were drinking Froest sized-up every saloon passenger present. and winked at me- saying nothing here. Excusing him. self and saying he'd be back in twenty minutes this living Sherlock Holmes left me with my pipe and several American ac- quaintances who had recognizerd me and kindly joined me, amongst them being the Mayor of Chicago Jefferson M. Levy of New York, now a Congressman, and Soap Kirke, the Cincinnati millionaire soapmak- CTS son. Within less than twenty minutes Froest had been through the. second cabin and the steerage, and had seen every man of the ten or twelve hundred aboard ship, and had came back to me. He motioned to me, and I left my seat to join him.

Froest and Americans.

My own official duties abroad often brought me into contact with the renowned Inspector Froest, more especially in ex- tradition cases. With the exception of the eighteen months Froest spent with JabeE Balfour in South America he has had the handling of all extradition cases between Great Britain and the United States, in nearly all instances arresting the American fugitives from justice and bringing them up before the Bow Street Magistrates

Remedy for "Pistol Toters."

From the Selma Times.
 We think Representative Young's bill re- quiring pistol toters'' to registed their pis- tols and pay a license for the privilege of carrying them, with a penalty of three months imprisonment for any one convicted of not complying with tfe law, is good one, and it, or something similar should be enacted. We think that straight im- prisonment clause a good one, much better and would more effectually restrict the practice of carrying concealed weapons than fning the offenders. If the bill becomes law we expect to see a general disarma- ment.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 There is some resentment at an insinu- ation that Senator Hanna would derive personal benefit from the enactment of the ship subsidy bill. Perish the thought. Mir. Hanna is an honest man. That is to say, he is anxious to pay the debts he incurred chairman of the Republican National Committee in warm residential campaign.
