Multitudinous Russian Police.

Vance Thompson in Success Magazine"
1t is true, | believe, that where three
Russians ara gathered together one CT
them may not be spy. The grand
ducal party has its police it is known
as the ambassadorial police. Its head
quarters are the embassies of Paris,
Washington, London, Vienna-all the
capitals. 1t has that police of which
you read in the wonderful novels of
Russian life written by what sayages
| know not. Through Sardou's melo-
dramas it passes, fantastic and absurd.
Made up of grandes danes, of decayed
mobiles and broken officers, its ineffi-
cheney is proved every day. 1t is a
mere plaything in the hands of the
ambassadorial police of England. This
matter, as all others, the English
treat in business-like way. They
have in their pay almost all the por-
tiers and office boys of the other EN-
bassies; add to this that the system of
espionage in the world of society is
almost perfect The r nglish en-
bassies are served by a corps of won
derful women. Their agents are of all
ranks and types-intellectual artistic
religious; among the proletariat as in
the beau monde. That of Russia is
too busy covering up the scandals of
the grand dukes, at Monte Carlo or
Naples, to attend to its proper bust
ness.
Far more important is the Cars

remarkable men | have ever seen-an

ices that it has lost distinction. He is
a man of tho world-of every world.

No one knows him better. He goes
into that world as freely as into court

elected to the circuit court, he was the
youngest man on the bench of Chicago.
He has been a meber of the court ever
since, and attorneys say that he has
made one of the most efficient judges
Chicago has ever had. He is of a buoy
ant and genial disposition and good
talker, and as judge he has had the
support of many republicans, as indeed
he had in the lection just passed. He Is
the father of thirteen children, and his
fame in this respect has even called forth
the admiration of President Roosevelt
OF Judge DUNES honesty there is
no doubt, but as to his ability as mayor

when he will be hampered. not only by

GERM NAMES
Man FOR THE JOB
Mr.. TINcANzA is DESIGNATED AS
THAT coUNTRYs REPRESENT
ALIVE ON CONSULTING BOARD
OF CANAL COMMISSION.

Washington, April 25.-rhrough its am
bassador here, the German government
has notified Secretary Taft that, at his
request, it has designated Mr. Tincanza
as the German member of the board of
consulting engineers of the isthhian ca
nal commission. Mr. Tincanza is under
stood to be connected with the German
ministry of public works and is one of
the leading civil engineers of Germany.
The French government has not yet
announced It's selection of an engineer
member of the board. Il was at first sup
posed That Mr. Bunau-Narilla would be
named, but his private business interests
forbid the acceptance of the appoint
ment. The compensation of these con-
sulting engineers has not yet been fixed,
but it is Secretary Taffs purpose TO make
it very liberal in view of the high grade
of expert talent required. The board is
not to hold regular sessions, but will
meet only upon call of the canal conn
mission when it is confronted with some
great engineering problem. The foreign
members of the board will be allotted a
liberal sum for expenses over and above
the compensation paid to the American
commissioners.
II is proposed to increase the member
ship of the consulting board to twelve
or fifteen members. As Mr.. Hunter, the
British member. is occupied just now
with some important work at home, it s
probable the first real business meeting
of the board will not be held until Au-

JOHN sHERMAN's CARRIAGE.
Now Used as an Ordinary Hack in
Ashland, Ohio.

From the Newark IN. j. News.
The carriage owned by the late John
Sherman which has, without doubt, car
ried more distinguished people than any
other conveyance in this country is now
doing duty as an ordinary hack in Ash
land, Ohio. The carriage was used by
Mr. Sherman during the larger part of
his public life at Washington, and has
carried most of the Presidents for half
a century, as well as other noted people
of this country and visiting princes and
potentates
After the death of Mr.. Sherman the We
hicle was secured by a local livery firm,
and has since been put to mental service.
The last occasion when the carriage was
used in the Sherman family was at the
funeral of it's owner at which time 1t
was occupied by William Mckinley, Mar
Gus Hanna, William Day and George Cor
telyou. The carriage is in good condi-
ton and is not valued highly by the
present owners.

Servant Problem in the Navy.

From Harpers Weekly.
The navy is languishing in the throes of
the servant question A compilation of
the figures showing the relative number
of assertions in the various branches dis
closes the fact that the greatest per-
centage of this Illegal desertion from the
navy occurs among the coal-passers and
the messmen. Among the former the per-
centage of desertion is a fraction over
one-third of the entire force every year.
The explanation of this. of course, is that
the work of passing coal in the depths of
a war vessel is the hardest and dirtiest
of duties which fall to the lot of the en-
listed man.
The percentage of desertio among mess
men is 2315, and this disputes the argyll
ment that naval assertions are the result
of insufficient food. because the messmen,
by virtue of their connection with the
culinary department, which serves the
officers mess, have access to the same

What Race-track Trust Consists OF.

Alfred Henry Lewis in Success Maya
zine"
Born of the Percy Gray law, the
race-track trust-aside from the Wash
ington track, which is beyond the pale
of a New York statute-eonsists of
eight racing associations. These are
the Coney Island, the Brooklyn, the
Westminster. the Brighton, the Sara
toga, the Metropolitan, the Queen
County and the Buffalo association.
The law, giving a two months longer
lease of life than did the Ives, limits
racing to seven months--from April
Is to November Is. These seven
months are distributed among the
eight members of the race-track trust,
granting each from twenty-three to
thirty racing days. The Washington
track, to keep from getting beneath
the feet of its metropolitan fellows
and tripping them up, has race
meeting before and another after the
New York meetings begin and end

six races day.
