A Sherlock Holmes at Bay.


The commissioner of police of New
York has blossomed out into a Sherlock
Holmes so suddenly as to take away
the breath of those who have admired
the correct yet methodical deductions
of the great master of detection.
About two weeks ago Jacob II.
Thompson, one of the editors of the
New York Times. was found dead in his
room in a reputable hotel. The police
and coroner decided that he had died of
apoplexy. There was evidence Of VIC
lence, the mans head being crushed
and mangled most pitiably, but the
| coroner found that these wounds were
self inflicted in his struggles to regain
his feet after having collapsed under
the stroke. The police accepted this
absurd explanation in the face of the
fact that there were bloodstains SO
high on the wall as to show conclu-
sively that the victim had been struck
while standing. Mr.. Thompson 8 friends
made such a row about the coroner's
report that the police were obliged to
open up the case again. and they are
now proceeding on the theory that it
was a murder and that somebody ought
to come forward and confess. They
have done nothing.
Sherlock Holmes would have taken
! observations of everything in and about
the room and would have whipped out
his lens and examined the floor, both
above and below. analysed the cigar
ashes on the carpet and ransacked the
victims desk at the office. Not sc
with the New York police. In eight
1 days they discovered Mr.. Thompson :
i wallet and in five days more proved
that his watch was missing.

of the murderer has been permitted te

THE TROUBLES OF HokE'
New York Tribune.

Poor Hoke Smith! He is just as bad
as a black republican He wants to be
governor Of Georgia, but his rival Clark
Howell, has dug up the damning fact
that when he was secretary of the interior
under President Cleveland he appointed as
many as eight negroes to office, and, what
is worse, appointed them on the advice
Of other negroes like Bishop Turner and
Bishop Brown, thus recognizing the pos
sibiltty Of a colored man being something
more than a mental, and worthy Of being
consulted in affairs of state. Hoke an :
swers that the places were inferior ones,
BETTING the negro's status in the, eyes of
Georgia democrats. Not so, says Mr..
Howell, they were ''such as thousands Of
white people in Georgia would have been
glad to have And SO, after all these
years, Hoke's sins come home to him!

. Did you ever realize how dependent you
are on the kindness and courtesy of those
around you? In times of general disas-

THE REAL CAUSE OF HUNGER
Baltimore Sim

A learned physician says that hunger
Is the sensation felt because Of the con-
traction of the muscularis either of the
pylorus or possibly also the entire stomach,
or Of the duodenum, or of the contraction
Of the muscularis of all these structures
The contraction of the pocketbook caused
by the beef trust price-list may also have
something to do with 1t.

Diligence and Patience.

Never be discouraged because good
things get on so slowly here and never
fail to do daily good which lies next to

diligent. Enter into the sublime patience

We since we have Him to fall back upon?
Let patience have her perfect work and
