DETECTIVES IN FICTION.
Sherlock Holmes Dissected by Scot
 land Yards Chief.

London Letter to Washington Post.
 Sherlock Holmes confided to Dr. Wat son so many times his unreserved opin- ion of the official detectives, or Scotland Yarders, that Conan Doyle's readers will be especially interested in what Sir Robert Anderson, heard of Londons criminal investigation department. has just written apropos of Holmes return concerning the estimate which the regular man,'e hold of the amateur sleuthhound of Baker street.
 Perhaps it will be best to give Sir Roberts views as practical criminal agent upon certain details of the ''Ad- ventures before quoting what the fa- nous ex-commissioner of police has to say regarding Holmes gibes at the methods of the regular force.
 It implies no disparagement of Dr. Doyles art" he says, that in the 'Ad- Ventures of Sherlock Holmes the ele- ment Of exaggeration is seldom want ing. The Final Problem exemplifes this in a notable way. To an expert, at all events. the story of Moriarty s track iHS Holmes to Switzerland Is prepos- terous.'
 Sir Robert goes on: 'In this country an accused person must without the slight est delay be brought before a magistrate But in the Study of Scarlet we are told that Jefferson Hope was to be put be- fore the magistrate in the course of a week In The Man with the Twisted Lip the police at Bow street hush the thing up' apparently without the in- vestigation of a magistrate at all.
 ''And in The Sign of Four the closing scene reminds us of one of Dickens bag men stories. Jonathan Small makes a quartet with our two friends and the Bow street officer, whose prisoner he is, i In the Baker street lodgings we know so well, and,s. enseonced in comfortable chair, s%ffR a glass of spirits and water at hand, he spends pleasant hour in telling the story of his crimes. And even this is capped by pr. Watson being allowed to carry away the treasure chest, the corpus of the crime, which Is sup posed sto contain jewels of priceless value. He conveys it in a cab to the house of his

IST LOUIS LAWYER
 FACES CHARGES
James L. Blair Alleged to Have
 Forged Documents
ACCUSED BY FORMER C ERIK.
It Is Claimed That Defendant Counter feited and Used Notarial Seals of the Recorder of Deeds of
 St. Louis.

St. Louis, December 3.-James l.. Blair. the attorney, has been indicted by the grand jury on the charge of forgery in the first degree. MT. Blair was formerly general counsel for the worlds fair as- sociation. The indictment is the result of charges filed by James T. Roberts, an attorney at one time employed in Blair's law office. Roberts secured certain pa- pers and records on which he afterwards based his charges that Blair was jug gling the finances of large estates com mitted to his trust. That was more than three years ago.
 The story. however, did not become public until the present grand jury began an investigation. Roberts publicly charged among other things that Blair had forged deeds of trust and mortgages on which 900 was obtained from the estate of the late Peter B. Blow of St. Louis, and that he counterfeited and used the mo- tarial seals of the recorder of deeds of St. Louis, and frequently employed Wal ter Jenkins. purely fictitious person. age, to attest the documents.
 Blair acted as a sort of fiscal and in- vestmept agent for the firm of Dick Brothers, of Philadelphia and New York. of which Evans R. Dick, a relative. is the head. In the Blow estate he was CO., trustee with Edward S. Robert. The grand jury requested the Dicks, their attorney, General B. Graham, and others to come to St. Louis to testify, but the eommuni- cations were ignored.
 Owing to his reported serious illness, Blair was removed from his home to Mullanphy hospital one month ago. Varying reports of his condition have been given from time to time to the pub lie, but he is now reported to have almost fully recovered.
 bench warrant will be issued for Blair's arrest, and he will be required to give bond. The maximum penalty for the offense with which Blair is charged is life imprisonment the minimum, ten years in the penitentiary.
 Blair gave bond in the sum of s10OO0 early this evening to answer to the two indictments against him.
 Before the deputy sheriffs started for the hospital with the capias, word was received that Blair would appear person. ally before Judge Taylor and give bond, Later a closed carriage was hurriedly driven up to the circuit court and Blair, accompanied by Judge James A Seddon, his former law partner John F. Lee, 0 close personal friend. and Attorney H. T. Kent, was received in chambers by Judge Taylor. Bond for the sum of $5000 in each of the two indictments, signed by Judge Seddon and John F. Lee, was given. Mir Blair was evidently in great pain He walked with crutches and was as- sisted by Judge Seddon and MT. Lee. No statement of any kind was made by MT. Blair

STEELE A WITNESS.
Former Lieutenant Governor Testifles
 In Nebraska Postoffice Cases.

Omaha, Neb., December 3.-Lieut. Gov. c. S. Steele, former department com mander of the G. A. R., was a witness before the federal grand jury in it's in- vestigation of Nebraska postoff1ce ap- pointments. Governor Steele was twice a member of the legislature and served as president pro tenn of the senate from which office he succeeded to that of lieutenant governor when Senator Diet rich was elected to the United States senate.
 The appointment of a postmaster at Farbury, the home of Governor Steele was under consideration by the jurors The testimony of MT Steele was taken at this time to determine whether fur ther investigation should be made. As a result of today's evidence, a number of other witnesses will be called. No indictments were returned today. Sena- tor Dietrichs trial is not expected to come up before January as the district attorney expects to be occupied with the grand jury for two weeks. and the pre- paration of the case will take considerable time.

 SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
Mrs. Marc Antony Sues for Di.
 Vorce.
Mrs Cleopatra Named as Co.,
 respondent.

Rome's smart set is completely dum- founded today over the fact that Mrs Mare Antony, one of the leading lights of our four hundred. has begun proceedings Tor a divorce from. her husband through her attorneys. Referendum & Graftorum.
 1t has been known for some time that Mrs. Antony Is little groggy over Mares long stay in Alexandria. where his name has been linked with that of Mrs Cleo patra, prominent club woman, and at present the managing editor of Egypt But even the old friends of the family, who have shown the utmost caution in getting all the details never dreamed that.she would thus openly repudiate Mare Antony, who. with all his faults, is a good provider, ah eloquent orator, and strong with the adminstratlon.
 The allegations made by Mrs Antony in her complaint are of such a nature that the Republican. which is not in any sense a yellow journal. would scorn to print them but if any anxious readers will call on ye editor in our sanctum. we will gladly tell all We know of the sad affair.
 When seen this afternoon. the plaintiffs attorneys would say nothing except ''Mul- to alimonia!" and the plaintiff herself is equally reticent.
 It Is 10 be regretted that this disagree able incident has come into Mares fife. as he Is good fellow and q constant reader of the Republican. although he IS back considerable on his subscription We believe Mrs. Cleopatra Is the transgres- sor who should bear the blame. as Marc always was easy for brunettes and he once told us while We were out on a quiet bat with him. that she had a dan gerous pair Of ineandescents,

 iancee, and in her presence he breaks 1t open with pokeri' And thus the practical detective goes on at some length. Evidently however. Sir Robert An
 derson does not take Holmes gibe at the
 expense of Scotland Yard with great seriousness. There is a wide difference,
 he, says, between the work of the re- sponsible officer, whose business it is to
 bring criminals to justice, and the work
 of the private detective, who has merely
 to ascertain the facts and to solve seem
 ing mysteries. But the difference is not so vital as that which distinguishes the
 fancies of the novelist from the facts of real life.
 "He must be a poor sort af creature
 who cannot solve his own problems. And 1t Is delightful to notice how ac- curately the Sherlock Holmes keys in- verbally fit the Sherlock Holmes locks and how inveriably his two and two
 make four. But in real life keys are apt
 to get mixed or mislaid, and two and two have sometimes a way of making twenty two. All of which may be quite unpre- ventabe and is always most embarrass- inq.n
