HUNTING CRIMINALS.
FINGER PRINTS HAVE GREATLY
AIDED DETECTIVE WORK.
System Long in Use in the Orient
Thousands of Identifications
Made by Its Instru-
mentality.

Brooklyn.-"Pudd' head" Wilson's
wonderful detective work based on
thumb prints was only creation of
Mark Twain's pen, and many people
who have read the book or watched
Frank Mayo play the part on the stage
have looked on the idea as being far
fetched or impossible. Yet the police
are doing the same thing every day in
the present workaday world
Some of the greatest crimes have been
ferretted out with the assistance of fin
ger prints. So absolutely sure is this
method of detection that it has become
q part of the police routine in France
and England.
1t will no doubt be surprise to most
readers that the finger print system has
been in use in oriental countries for CEN
turtles. For hundreds of years the willy
Chinaman has insisted that the lines
of a persons hand shall be impressed
upon his passport or other important
document to make transfer of the doc
ument an imposibility. For time i'm
memorial the custom in Japan was to
have all state papers bear the red-hued
impress of the mikado's thumb. Tits
made it impossible for ambitious poll
ticians and reasonable statesmen to
issue edicts and DEGREES in the name
of their imperial master.
Forgery is impossible in the lands
where finger prints are used as sigma
lures. The Hindoos found this out be-
fore America was discovered, and they
put the finger print system into use,
making man put the impress of his
thumb on every deed, document or paper
of any Importance. When the English
conquered their country the Hindoos
still insisted upon having the indisputa-
BILE and unchanging attestation of their
finger prints affixed to all papers of i'm
| portance.
1t was not until 80 years ago that the
English people saw the true value of
finger prints. Forty years ago Sir Will

Early Egyptians in France.

There has just been laid before the
French Academy of Sciences a well au-
thenticated case of prehistoric Egyp-
tan remains found among the Irehis-
toric remains of ancient Gaul. The
connection between Gaul a nd Egypt
was established in this way: A card
of cut Aints of the Neolithlc period wss
obtained from Egypt and card of ex-
actly similar flints found OF R'ou
island, nine miles from Marseilles, was
shown with them. At the spot on the
island where these fints were excavat-
ed there were found lying nearest the
Furrace some Roman pottery; below
that Greek pottery, with Ligui ian and
Egyptian still lower and below t. esa
again masses of marine shells, pottery
and nints different from a1y yet
found, The remains found so back fer
Gt least 5000 years.

her features, and the blue eyes that
might have glanced with tenderness
are now shifty and cruel, the mouth
is set. and there are no roses in her
cheeks, while her golden hair is tossed

gravity system in the world. To a GER
tain extent it is a relic of the old horse
car days in Denver, before the tramway
invaded every nook and corner of the
city. And yet it is an extension of
street car service which the tramway
does not cover and step in advance
of any other horse car line in the
world.
The line runs from Englewood to
South Broadway heights. On the up
hill trip the motive power is a horse,
which slowly ambles up the hill in
about Is minutes, patiently drawing
the antiquated old car and it's passeu-
gers, but seeming never TO complain,
for the pace is not necessarily fast
Jimmy O'Brien, of Scotch-Irish-Can-
adian extraction, is the driver-to all
intents and purposes, so far as fidelity
to the best interests of the line is con-
cerned-he might as well carry the
title of superintendent or general man
ager, for if he owned the line he could
be no more faithful than he has shown
himself for three years while working
for Mrs. Bogue. Summer and winter.
he is always on duty, and never misses
trip, passengers or no passengers.
There are three horses which take
turns in doing the work of pulling the
car up hill, and then have the fun of
riding down, standing on the back
platform and surveying the scene or
viewing the mountains as the car
swiftly glides down hill with as much
complacency and dignity as could q

WORKING ON THE TREATY.
Russo-Japanese Peace Agreement AS
suming Shape.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. lin
American fashion the summer guests
at the Wentworth hotel have assumed
that the peace negotiations are prac-
tieall5t ever and they are LEAKING by
every train. The plenipotentiaries
however, realize there are many i'm
portant details yet to be decided and
are remaining in their rooms receiv-
ing and sending cablegrams. M. de
Martens and Mr.. Dennison are for the
time the main workers. They are
framing the treaty and are calling to
their assistance from time to time
those delegates whose advice they
need
nj. de Martens, after working con-
tinuously all the morning, has prac-
tically drafted the whole treaty. ac-
cording to the Russian Interpretation
of the agreement reached by the pleni-
potentiaries. His discussions with
Mr.. Dennison, the Japanese legal ad-
wiser, were chiefly on the form and
on the Interpretation to be given to
certain words in the French text of
the treaty.
Up to noon neither the Russian nor
the Japanese mission had received any
information regarding an armistice.
The conclusion of formal armistice
is, however, not SO important or urgent
as to create alarm if a day or two
elapses before it is proclaimed. AS a
matter of fact a tacit understanding
has existed ever since both countries
accepted President Roosevelt's invita-
ton to send pleyipotentiaries to Ports
mouth that there should be no general
engagement un:il the result Of the
meeting was known. Both Oyama and
Linevitch were ordered not to give
battle without direct and specific in
structions from their home govern
ments.

MUST SIGN TREATY BE-
FORE JAPS CONSENT
TO AN ARMISTICE

Portsmouth, Sept 1.-The armistice
signed by the RussoJ Japanese pleni-
potentiaries is to take effect after the
signing of the treaty Of peace. The
delay in the cessation of hostilities is
due to the refusal of the Japanese to
consent TO an earlier time.
Toxic, Sept. 1.-The public contin-
ues to be without information regard
ing the agreement of the peace en-
vcys at Portsmouth. The division OF
the island of Sakhalin and the wuiv-
ing of indemnity are not yet publicly
known.
Despite the lack of information
many people are convinced that the
Japanese government has made sub
stantial concessions and already are
criticising and objecting. Unless the
terms prove to be better than they
were anticipated it is certain that the
compact will prove unpopular and be
bitterly assailed by the press and by
the diet,a which is expected to meet
in special session shortly. The rad
ical elements are asserting that cab
met changes are inevitable. The mass
OF the public is not moved. There
unquestionably is feeling of great
relief that hostilities have ended and
that the men OF the great army will
return h11he, be disbanded and enter
the walks Of peace. This feeling,
however, is without public manifesto
tions. There has been no professions,
no display of flags or other marks Of
popular jollification.
The Capital City continues normally
quiet and reports from throughout
the empire indicate similar condi-
ton.
