OAKVILLE HAPPENINGS

Yesterday the 4:40 D. m. train from WatertoWn came within an ace of run ming over an intoxicated man a few hundred yards above the local station, just below the curve. Drunkenness had so thoroughly enwrapped this thoughtless fellow in oblivion that he apparently did not hear anything com ing and kept on staggering from one side of the track to the other until the train got within a few feet of him. A number of people were on the station platform shuddering at what seemed inevitable as he fell to one side. His escape was no doubt due to the quick action of the brakes.
 George Poker of Newton Heights and Adrian Roullin of Waterbury ran a race of one mile yesterday at the Driv- ing park before large crowd of on lockers for bet. Poker won.

Bather,s Marrow Escape.

A short-sighted sportsman was asked. one morning. by fellow-sojourner in a small hotel on the shores of Loch Carron what sport he had had. "Just seen a seal, he said; "shot at 1t three times and missed it each time" At dinner, an hour later, he sat next to man with & bandage round his head. "Accident?" he inquired. "Accident!" was the indig- nant response; attempted murder, you mean I was having bath about an hour ago, when some lunatic fired at me three times from the shore and shot part of my ear off, Wonder who 1t could have been.' murmured the sportsman. and changed the conversation to the Japanese war.-San Francisco Argo- naut.

New System of Measuring Criminals

New System of Measuring Criminals.
 The police of London have intro duced exper1mentally new system for recognizing criminals. As it has been successful, 1t will soon be adopted by number of other police departments both in England and abroad Tn this system only the impressions of the fingers are taken. Compared with the "Bertillon" system, it has, above all, tho advantage of simplicity, as it can be applied without any contrivances, and is, therefore, much less expensive. Whether it can completely take the place of the Bertillon system remains to be seen. The Berlin police have for the present also inaugurated a card collection of impressions of the fingers for recognition purposes. The new sys- tenn is called '1Daktyloscopy."

A LOCKOUT IN DENMARK.
Settlement by Arbitration Has Be- come an Established Pro-
 vision in Labor Troubles.

There is no permanent arbitration court in Denmark, and the lockout of 1899, affecting 40,000 workingmen, and which caused great suffering, was set tied as result of proposition drawn up and submitted by three prominent citizens of Copenhagen, who volun- teered their services to the employees, and who, because of their high standing in the community, and the universal confidence imposed in them, were ac- cepted by both clements to the contro- versy as arbitrators The king con- ferred upon them a decoration in recog- milton of their services for the public good.
 Provision is made for an arbitration court at Copenhagen under the act of April 3, 1902, where employers and em- ployes elect by agreement to establish such court for the adjustment of their differences. The king may by decree de- termine that witnesses may be sum- moned and be required to testify, just as they are in any regular court. Wit nesses are required to appear at the time and the place determined upon by the pl OoluCAI OL luC plIl 0LlOA All inhabitants of Copenhagen and dis tricts about Copenhagen are subject to call as witnesses. Decisions handed down by the president of the court may be appealed in accordance with the rules governing appeals from an ordinary lower court. There is in Copenhagen an employers association, the purpose of which is to guard the interests of em- ployers as labor unions do those of the employees. This association publishes weekly paper.

MODERN BATTLES.
= The Directing Head is Never at the
Front

Today circumstances place a COM
mander completely out of sight of his
army. He is usually located at least
10 or 15 miles from the firing line.
and in many instances even farther
away. He sits in a room. whence ra-
diate telephone and telegraph lines
TO the remotest portions of the field,
placing him in communication with
his principal subordinates. The IA
nous painting of Napoleon at Aus
terlitz represents, in the popular eye,
a commanding general directing
great battle. But it belongs to the
warfare of the past. The artist who
aspires to depict the direction of
modern battle must show a man seat
ed at a table on which is spread a
huge map dotted with little flags in
hicating the location of the opposing
forces. with an ordinary desk tele-
phone at his elbow. In an adjoining
room is a switchboard, where sit
alert operators ready to connect the
commander with any of the field
headquarters. From this room, also,
comes the steady clicking of score
of telegraph instruments, busily re-
ceiving and sending messages. But for
the military uniforms of the messen-
gers and the going and coming of
staff officers the man at the table
might be a stock operator directing,
through his brokers, a deal in steel
or railroad securities. Even the ste
nographer at his elbow is not lack
ing. but sits quietly taking messages
under dictation. to be transmitted
presently by telegraph. other offic-
iers copy these messages and file
them away. after putting them under
a time recording stamp. to show the
hour they were sent. so that after
ward delinquencles may be located
and responsibilities fixed. Thus, apart
from the excitement and horrors of
the battlefield a general sits at a
desk and calmly directs the battle.
He hears that this attack has been
repulsed, that reinforcements are
needed here, that ammunition is
running low there, that this division
has been cut into pieces. that those
troops have been two days without
food, and so on, along his 40 miles
Of front. and takes his measures ac-
cordingly. This picture is not fanci-
ful. With due allowance for the fall
libility of all human devices when
subjected to the strain of abnormal
conditions it is substantially correct.

ers. A more creepy, ghost-like thing
never saw. 1 knew not what they
were, but they fascinated me and
made me shudder and 1 found my
self drawing towards them, step by
step, hardly conscious that 1 was
moving. 1 do not recall that any one
of US uttered a word. Yet they were
only sick men coming back from the
front-soldiers sick with the kakke.
the "beriberi," the sleeping sickness.
1t was hard to believe that the face
of any one of them had ever belong
ed to a soldier-harder to believe that
sickness could make a soldiers face
so gentle. That man in the red shirt
and those grey ghosts that shuffled
so silently out of one mist and so si-
lently into another are the high
lights in the two most vivid pictures

Mrs. Blank, wife of Governor
Blank Finally they agreed to sub
nit the question to the first man
they should meet. He proved to be
an Irishman. The case was put be-
fore him, and he was asked for a
decision.
