which could do the most toward non

Pariament's Indignation.
The despoiled merchants made
many efforts to induce the government
to protect their goods, but these were
unavailing until it was shrewdly
shown that the government its elf was
being robbed of $25O,OO0 yearly OF
customs Duties by the smuggling
ashore of the stolen merchandise.
Then parliament became Indignant
over the outrage and it's indignation
was the first step in the establishment
of the present system of river pr1tec-
ton. A body known as the Marine
Police was formed in 1898, consisting
of sixty-two men. In addition to
patrolling the river, this department
got at once to the root of the trouble
by supervising the unloading and load
ing of vessels. Some eight hundred
men were enrolled as Jumpers" ana
They worked under the control of the
police and at once there was striking
diminUtion in the number OF rob-
berries. Year by year the police sys-
tenn was improved and elaborated up
on until the present state of efficiency
was realized.
Receive Small Pay
The force today consists of 206
men, including the superintendent,
Chisholm, eleven inspectors, forty-two
thirdclass inspectors and the re
mainder patrolmen. The third-class
inspectors rank between the sergeants
and captains of the police forces in
the large American cities. The third.
class inspectors receive from 1926 TO
SIP per week and the patrolmen from
Sc to $3.50 per week, less than one
third the amount paid to the New
York police. After twenty-five years
service a man can retire on pen
sion of three-fifths Of his salary, or,
after twenty-six years, on two-thirds
of his salary.
In addition to his salary each man
receives two uniforms a year and a
suit of oilslCins. The men remain ON
duty six hours, followed by twelve
hours off. The Jurisdiction of the
police covers the river boundaries or
London. There are three river sta,
lions, one at Mapping Bridge. the
Mapping station being the headquart-
ers. Two steam launches and twenty
eight row boats are used to patrol the
river, in addition to disguised or
private boats employed for certain
emergencies.
In addition to protecting the ship.

ed, and number OF lives are saved
annually In consequence. The dead
of the Thames are also gathered In.
The records for 1896 show that ninety
nine bodies were brought ashore, OF
which eleven were suicides, forty-eight
men accidentally drowned and forty
whose drowning could not be ac-
counted for. Twenty-tree cases OF at.
tempted suicide were frustrated by
the police.

London, Oct 14.-Sir Henry Irving

Death was totally unexpected. He
was engaged in a tour of the prov

days ago spoke at a public meeting

Wednesday he was entertained at
luncheon in the Bradford town hall. at

to the address, Sir Henry spoke of
himself as one the sands of whose
life were fast running out, but no one
then present had the slightest idea
that the end would come so soon
The news of the death of Sir Henry
was received too late to permit of
more than brief announcement in the
London newspapers. The Telegraph
and Post however, print lengthy mem
cries, speaking of him as the greatest
actor of his period.

NHE METROPOLITAN

~ HE METROPOLITAN police
force of London has often been
the subject of adverse criticism,
but little fault can be found
with the river police who guard
the riches of the Thames from
the thieves who make a speciality
of foraging upon shipping.
The Thames police come very near
being a model body of officers. The
records of their work show that the
total loss, by theft, of property in the
Thames of a recent year amounted to
500. This is something of remark
able showing in view of the fact that
thousands of millions of dollars
north of merchandise are under the
official care of the Thames police dur
ing the year. For its length and
breadth there is no river the world
over where so much shipping wealth
is constantly concentrated, and when
it is remembered that the criminal
population of London is something
gigantic, some idea can be gained OF
the potency of the police in protecting
the one from the clutches of the other.
But It has taken century Of in
cessant work to bring about this
happy condition of affairs. In former
years river thieves on the Thames were
terribly abundant A century ago
when the shipping did not amount to
one-fifteenth Of the sum It yearly rep
resents nowadays, the West Indian
merchants alone lost s1,250,0O0 worth
OF goods by the depredations Of the
robbers in the year Of 1897. II the
losses Of all the shipping merchants
had been totalled up in that year the

against another with mournful sound.
Something stumbled along on the OPP
posite bank OF the creek. 1t was only

they were probably frightened BY the

which is owned by Mr.. Niles barked
loudly several times and this is supposed
to have frightened the burglars. Mr..

him keep quiet.
The burglars entered the house BY

which was later found outside the house.

but it was thought that some one had

Tuesday morning that Mr.. Niles be-
came aware that a burglary had been
committed. He discovered watch in

As no property was stolen the matter
