CITY POLICE ARE
PROBING DEATH
OF CULLEN

When the steamer New Shoreham ar
rived In this city at 80 this afternoon
from Block Island Police Inspectors
Egan and Ahern went on board and
subjected the crew TO rigid questions
as to what they knew with regard TO
the doings OF Henry Quillen. the sec
ond engineer. who WAS drowned in the
river Monday night and whose body
was recovered late yesterday after
noon.
The police have under detention a
man named Thomas Feeney. who Is said
20 have been with Quillen Monday
night and who was the man who gave
the alarm that a man had fallen from
the wharf. but who, when rescuers ap-
peared. ran away
While the police will not say they be-
lieve Quillen was a victim OF foul play.
they think that Feeney's action In run
ming away from the scene OF the ac-
cident was peculiar. even IL not sus-
picious, and the inspectors are on
deavoring TO learn where CULLEN was
Monday night from the time he went
ashore until he went to his drowning.
Feency. the inspectors say. denies that
ne had any trouble with Quillen. though
he admits he had been with him during
the evening, and insists that Quillen fell
from the dock 10y accident.
The inspectors say that even though
there may be NO foundation for a foul
play theory. they think all circumstances
relating 10 the affair should be thoroughly
Investigated.
An autopsy on the body OF Engineer
Quillen was made this forenoon by med
tcal examiner, but tho police say no
marks Of violence were disclosed and that
the only visible cause of death was drown
ing. Whether the drowning was acciden-
tai or the act OF another ia what the police
are trying TO ascertain beyond any doubt

KEEP TRACK
Of THE WORK
An Automatic Deice Which
szszszxs.eEaSszzs zASzstAs slsx.Zs,Is5xazeo
Keeps Track of Move
ments of a Man.

Use of the famouse block system"
in railroading has prevented many a
collision and other bad accidents; but
the idea of applying the same prlncl-
pie to business in the conduct OF rae
tory and office affairs seems a little
OYerdrawn, but it is a fact that this
will soon be done According to the
details of an invention just perfect
ed at Rochester. n. Y, man has
brought out a device for keeping
track of employees and their time in
the same manner in which the block
system keeps track of trains. In this
age of increased expenses in all
lines, business men find that they
must economic in time.
The device just perfected will keep
accurate track of every movement OF
an employee, whether engine wiper or
StenOgrapher; and it is so constructed
that when an emplOye is given task
he can receive no credit for his time
until it is completed. The system Oh
dividing time and work into blocks
as the railroad divides its right of
way makes it impossible for a work
man to enter one block until he has
cleared the last one. The device is
absolutely automatic and the record it
makes is infallible. 1t is so construct
ed that an employee cannot beat" it.
1t will save thousands of dollars in
lost time, and promises to work some
radical changes in the conduct of
large concerns The inventor has new
er exhibited his device publicly, al
though it has been thoroughly tested.
The first time it will be shown will
be during the National Business
Show at Madison Square Garden. in
New York, from the 18th to the 18th
of October, and at the same show in
Chicago at the Coliseum from the 9th
to the 14th of November, and it will
prove to be of intense interest from
many standpoints. At these big shows

increased proportion, forming 1853 per
cent of the total number OF white
prisoners in 1904 and only 71.8 per
cent. in 1890. This change, moreover,
is not confined to any one section of
the country, but is common to all.
Even the North Atlantic States,
which have absorbed most of the late
immigration. show larger percentage
of native prisoners and a smaller per-
centage of foreign than they did in
1890.
OF the LOG persons committed 10
prison under death sentence, 80 had
been convicted of homicide, of as
Sault, 2 of rape and l of a double
crime, murder being one of them. Two
women paid the death penalty for
homicide.
Life sentences were imposed upon
$40 prisoners, of whom $50 were con-
victed of homicide, % of rape, IL of
burglary, 4 of robbery, 3 of larceny,
of arson, 1 of assault, 1 of the crime
against nature, 1 of perjury, 1 of an
unclassified crime against property,
and 1 of a crime not stated. Twenty
women were committed during 1904
on life sentence.

A zoologist thus writes upon a point
in which he claims that the lower an

says Chums:
'It has taken human beings many
hundreds of years to acquire habits of
neatness and cleanliness, whereas the
animals have always possessed them.
From the time when they first made
their appearance on earth animals have
washed and combed and brushed them
selves with tongue, claws and tail.
Many Of them grow wretched and Ian

instance, will readily admit"

Pooling a Wolf.

4 boy twelve years old. the son of
pioneer In Montana, observed q wolf
sneaking about one day last winter.
He took a sheepskin and spread it
over a low bush in such a way that
it resembled a live animal, and after
a time the wolf made a dash for it. He
detected the fraud at once, and instead
of galloping away at once with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped il and
sneaked off with his tail between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim of joke, and he felt
the same as a boy who had been April

Bees Faster Than Pigeons.

1t is not generally known that bees
are swifter in flight than pigeons
that is, for short distances. Some
years ago a pigeon fancier of Hamme,
Westphalia. laid wager that a dozen
bees liberated three miles from their
hives would reach home in less time
than a dozen pigeons. The competitors
were given wing at Rybern, village
nearly a league from Hamme. and the
first bee reached the hive a quarter Of
a minute in advance of the first pigeon.
Three other bees reached the goal be-
fore the second pigeon. The bees were
also slightly handicapped, having been
rolled in flour before starting for pur-

kind she wanted. 1t should not be
necessary to point out the joke to the
