the labor expended upon an American

Gently said: eff the police forces of the
country today adhered to the methods
and practices of ten years ago they
would not be prepared to contend with
the criminal and disorderly classes.
1t should not be forgotten that in this
period those agents of the people who
are chosen to combat crime must more
than ever before have higher intelli-
gence, more accurate training, greater
courage, both moral and physical, in
order to cope with educated clever,
unsupported professionals who have
succeeded the goldbrick man of days
gone by. In time the bank burglar
with his can of powder and drill has
given way to the yeggman who uses
nitro-glycerine; the faker who delight

who sells cheap gold mines and three

This has been bad year for crimi-

brought out at the convention of the
Police Chiefs Association of New Yorh
State, an address delivered by the
president OF the International Associa-
ton OF Police Chiefs and by
the operations Of the var ious police
bureaus Of the United States govern
ment. The secret service division OF
the Treasury alone caused the arrest OF
632 persons charged with serious
crimes. OF those taken into custody
forty-one were arrested for counter
feiting the currency, ffty-two for max

counterfeiting coin and the remainder

States statutes. OF the 532 alleged Of
tenders. 1872 were native Americans,
forty-two were Italians (some Of whom
were naturalized) and thirteen were
Austrians. The largest number of ar
rests were made In Pennsylvania where
those apprehended numbered ninety
four. New York followed with seventy
seven arrests, Ohio with thirty-fiye.
California with twenty-nine, Missouri
with twenty-three and in the remaining
instances every state and territory with
the exception of Alaska was represent

As compared with last year there
was decrease In the amount Of count

officers and an increase In the amount
or counterfeit coin confiscated. The
total face value OF the notes seized was
$36,834, against $44,350 the preceding
year, md OF the spurious coin, $24,11O
as against 6,419 the year before. The
number OF plates for printing counter
felt bills captured by the government
was 165 and the number of dies and
molds for casting and stamping count
erfeit coins was Asa. Nearly all this

rather remarkable increase in this
Illicit industry and the raisers were
particularly busy in circulating these
altered obligations in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and other states of the middle
west. 1t is believed by the officers of
the secret service that the leading Of
tenders in this division of criminal
work were captured, though there is no
doubt that many altered bills are still
passing from hand to hand in the chan
nels OF trade. Counterfeiters in the
United States do not restrict their
operations to the manufacture of Amer
lean money, and one of the skillful
pieces Of work done by the secret SER
vice men was the apprehension of

OF that eruption no one had the slight

much greater than that of the awful
hurricane which once laid so large a
part OF Calcutta on the ground and

less than twenty miles of the earth's

the only time, it stood revealed to I'M

upon one OF these structures, II will

Bonry arch, the heavy stone-capped

THE WORD LOBSTER.

In letters from Sir Walter Scott to
William Clark of Eldfn, under date of
September 10 and 3o 1892, are found
allusions to the word lobster" as a
playful sobriquet for the redcoat Off
GERS and soldiers of the British army.
In this case a boiled lobster is meant,
as per evidence of the following coup
let, once familiar to the English street
boys, and quoted whenever a rif1eman
in green was seen walking arm in
arm with a soldier in red:
There go two Holsters. claw In claw,
One is boiled, and t'other's raw.
Sir Arthur Hazlerigg, in CROMWELL 8
time, commanded a regiment of cuiras-
siers, who from their complete armor
obtained the nickname of HOLSTERS"
(Baldocks Cromwell as Soldiery')
What was mere raillery in England
may readily have grown into an ex-
preston of hatred and contempt in
America at the time of the Revolution,
and, in point of fact Bancroft's His
tory of the United States" relates that
HOLSTERS" was one of the abusive
epithets applied to the soldiers by the
mob on the occasion of the Boston
massacre.-Philadelph Press.

CENTRAL AsIA,s NEW RAILWAY.

Within a short time regular traffic
will be opened on the Tasnkend Rail
way. a new line which starts at the
station Kinel. east OF Samara, and runs
southeast to Aktiubinsk in the Mon
godjarsk Mountains. north of the Aral
Sea, thence to Zazalinsk and Turke-
stan, where 1t connects with the Cen
trail Asian Railway.
The new railway is of great impor-
tance. Although the traffic to Central
Asia was maintained long ago by
steamers on the Caspian Sea and the
Central Asian Railway, UP to the pres
ent it took six and half days to
travel from Moscow to Tashkend,
whereas 1t will now take only four
days.
The journey from Moscow to Tash-
kend will cover 2099 miles. Besides ac-
celebrating the passenger and post SER
vice, the Tashkend Railway is impor-
tant as far as the freight traffic is
concerned. as. for instance, the trans
portation of corn to Central Asia and
cotton and horticultural stock from
Central Asia and European Russia
The new railway is also important
from strategical point of view.-Rail-

WIDOWS AND MARRIAGE.

DO widows or widowers most re-
marry?" asked the reporter
Widows. Widows decidedly" the
minister answered
How do you account for that fact?"
I account for it on monetary rather
than on sentimental grounds Widows
remarry oftener than widowers be-
cause they need help more than wild
overs They are alone; they may have
a child or two, and all the money they
can call their own is a life insurance
policy for $1,000 or $1,000
SO they remarry. They remarry
speedily. With much wisdom acquired
from their first marital experience they
have no difficulty in persuading some
prosperous and steady young man to
set them afoat upon a second matri-
nlonial voyage.
'Widowers are most apt to remain
single II they have children Eight
out of ten of the widowers whom L re-
marry are childless men.''-Exchange
