Changes In Methods Upon the Part Of
Authorities Toward Persons
Accused Of Crime

Maj. Sylvester. superintendent of police,
who went to Philadelphia last night to at
tend the annual meeting Of the National
Prison Association, presented his report
this morning as chairman of the committee
on police forces in cities. Prof Charles r.
Henderson. Phi D., of the University of
Chicago, is president of the prison associa
ton and Samuel c. Lemly, l. L. D., Of this
city Is one Of its honorary vice presidents,
and Frederick Howard Wines, l. L. D.,
also Of this city, is one Of the active vice
presidents.
The report submitted by Mai. Sylvester is
in part as follows:
1T is refreshing to observe that in most
Of the leading cities the heads Of the de-
partments and the rank and file cherish the
hope that the era will come when politics
will be eliminated from policing; when those
charged with the protection Of life and
property may make their calling an indie
pendent one, and be enabled to execute the
laws without fear or favor, and feel secure
in their positions, il in the right. We have
but to look to the city of Cincinnati to I'M
derstand the value of a department nom
partisan in character. 1t has undergone no
harsh criticism in years.

MORE THAN COINCIDENCE.
Phenomena That frequently Happens,
Suggests Some Curious Questions.

Il have noticed one rather peculiar
thing about the tunes heard in the
streets of Cities" said a man with a
leaning toward speculative science
to a New Orleans Times Democrat
writer, "and that is a rather singular
unconsciousness in the matter of imi-
Eating sounds, such as popular airs,
and SO forth. | have found myself
doing exactly this very thing, and 1
suppose other men have had the same
experience For instance, | have
suddenly found myself humming or
whistling in very low key some pop
ular air, or sometimes | would sud-
denly thrum the scale of familiar
tune, and before walking two blocks
some other fellow would be whistling
the same thing loud enough to be
heard at least half block away. Did
he cause me to think of the tune or
to hum it? Or did my thinking or
humming influence him? So far as
my experience goes, in instances of
this sort | have not been conscious
of hearing anything that would even
suggest the scale that would bob up
in my mind. There could be moth
ing in the ordinary discordances of
the street, incident to traffic, rum
bling wagons and cars, shifting and
stumbling feet, and things of that
sort, to develop the idea of the par
ticular harmony whichsuddenly came
to my mind. If the man began to
whistle the air before l began to
think about ii, did | hear him without
being conscious of the fact? Did
the inaudible waves of the tune strike
the drums of my ears without any
sort of consciousness of the sound on
my part? These questions | cam
not answer. All know is that the
thing happened, and it has happened
too often to be put down as mere
coincidence. My thinking may have
started the man to whistling or his
whistlng may have started me to
thinking in some mysterious way. If
the man whistled what | thought,
why did he do it? 1t must be some
sort of mental telegraphy with little
sound waves of too delicate a nature

cation. Or are we getting so wise

A DRIVING TOUR.
Is One of the Most Delightful of Sum
mer Reereations.

OF all summer outings that give
rest with recreation and freedom
from care with constant change of
scene, carriage driving is one of the
most delightful. Choose you, if
choice be granted, a horse who is a
fast walker, but who is withal staid
and sober, and with dignity above the
freshness kicked out on hill pastures
long ago; an honest horse, free from
guile, in whom your trust may rest
unsecured even by the reins. And
choose you carriage which is large
and roomy and comfortable, So are
you started for strange adventure.
\ carriage drive is like unto the
tangle of strings at a cobweb party
the beginning you are sure of, but
who shall say where it will end? You
plan it all beforehand, and in the
making of the schedule is great pleas
ure. But with each day come new
perplexities, delightful perplexities,
winding, shady, grassgrown vaga-
bonds of roads with disrcputable
patches of briers on the one side,
and moss-gray moldering old tree
trunks on the other wandering
apparently without aim into the hills
and filling you with an irresistible
desire to wanderalso And, after al,
the most delightful drive is witho',,
aim save the pleasure to be derived,
and without plan save as to a general
direction, leaving to hayward roads
and the chance of each day the d,s-
Of the morrow.-Country
Life in America.

ROYAL ANGLERS.
King Edward VII. Said to Be an fndif-
ferent Fisherman.


King Edward, it seems, is not
very keen fisherman, not half SO
keen as his brother, the late duke Of
Edinburgh, or his son, the prince Of
Wales, but ii is quite a mistake to
suppose that his majesty has never
taken any interest in fishing. As
youth, says the London Fishing Ga
zette, he fshed in the Highlands, and
when as prince of Wales he rented
Abergeldie on the Dee he used TO fish
for salmon now and then, though, as
old Donald Morgan says, his majesty
was mot awful enthusiastic" Lord
knollys, however, recently informed
Mr.. Marston that the king on one oc-
casion caught 21-pound salmon on
the Floors Castle water on the
Tweed.
As regards the queen, we have long
known that she is a keen disciple of
lzaak Walton, as is also Princess Vic
toria, and they often fish together
when in Scotland. Her majesty has
killed salmon in Ireland, and so dead
ly is the Alexandra fly, named after
her, that its use is prohibited on many
waters. The prince of Wales is per-
haps, the keenest and best angler the
royal family has produced, and will
spend long days on Deeside enjoying
the sport. Then the Princess Louise,
duchess Of Argyll, and the duchess Of
Fife are devoted to angling. When
in Canada Princess Louise had grand
sport with the salmon. The duchess
of Fife has had many good days sport
on the Dee, near Mar Lodge, and
spends much of her time with her
children in the enjoyment of her ia
vorite sport while the duke is deer
stalking.
Those jolly specimens of young
England, Prince Edward and Prince
Albert, sons of the Prince of Wales,
are, as Mr.. Marston tells us, both
keen on fishing, and each of them
caught nice lot of roach with the
fly recently; even little Princess
Mary was successful in landing one.
The young princes tried their hands
at the trout in a Norfolk stream,
and Prince Albert (aged six) got a
brace, and Prince Edward (aged
seven) half brace, with the fly,
March Brown and Black Gnat. The
fact that they were able to send a
trout to the king, who was then stay
ing at Sandringham, and a brace to
their parents in London. afforded
them as great pleasure as the CATCH
ing Of the half-pounders. They have
taken as many as Is or 20 roach each
of an evening.
