Mr.. KNAPP'S VIEWS.

when men say there has been
no Improvement; when they say
that things are going from bad TO
worse. they indicate to my mind a
quickened public conscience which
now condemns sharply what was
not long ago accepted with toler-
ance, if not approval"
L wish to emphasize the point
that the average man to-day rec
ognizes as never before the de-
linquency Of many transactions,
which, not so long ago, were
looked upon as rather praise
worthy conceptions of business en-
terprise.'
L find great encouragement in
the conviction that railroad man
ayers, Of high and low degree, al
most without exception, have now
come 10 accept with sincerity and
unreserve the principles and policy
Of French regulation.
Il think the time has come and
present conditions are such that
reasonable restraint upon the is
sue of stocks and bonds would aid
rather than impede the extension
of railroad facilities
1T is coming to be understood
as a part of the habitual thought
Of our people that the right to use
the facilities OF public carriage Is
a political right rather than a con-
tract right. And. therefore. any
preference or advantage given TO
one person or one class Of persons
is a distinct invasion OF the po-
ltical rights Of all other persons.

Keeps Opinions to Himself.


He was asked his opinion about crime
in the United States, but he was reticent
about expressing an opinion. In fact he
didn't express an opinion. He evaded all
questions with reference 10 crime as Clev-
erly as a Cabinet member being inter
viewed about the business Of a secret
Cabinet meeting.
"Our business Is on the increase Mr..
Pinkerton said, IN answer 10 the crime
question.

criminals Is increasing he was asked
1t simply means that our business is
spreading. 1 am not prepared 10 talk on

Just then Chief Of Police George NJ.
Shippv, Of Chicago, arrived. Hello. Biz
he said, as he shook hands with the de-
tective Mr.. Pinkerton evidently was glad
that some one had appeared so that he
could offer an excuse 20 be excused from
answering crime questions.
Mr. PinkertOn has been in the business
since he was fifteen years old. During the
civil war his father, Allan Pinkerton, who
established the detective bureau, which
is now known all over the world was
chief Of the Secret Service OF the United
States under President Lincoln. As a boy,
Mr.. Pinkerton's first duties in the sleuth
line were carrying messages.
Has Seen Long Service.
Chief shippy was appointed TO his posi-
ton by Mayor Busse. He was an in
spector at that time He has been in
the service thirty-one years. and has
served in every capacity from private TO
chief in the Chicago police department.
J. j. Donahue, of Omaha, one of the
oldest chiefs in the country in point Of
service. is also here. He has held the
position twenty-five years. His superior
at present is known as the Cowboy
Mayor Of Omaha" Mr.. Donahue was
comparatively young man when he was
appointed.
Well" said his opponents at the time.
ARE they going to run the police de-
partment by boys?'
Donahue made good. and has held the
Job, while mayor after mayor has been
elected, realized his Importance. and kept
him IN the business.
1--WE used to have a great deal Of
trouble with cowboys who came to
Omaha to spend their savings" Chief
Donahue said yesterday. but the COW
puncher Of old doesn't give US much trou-
bic now. In the first place, he is getting
scarce. Secondly, we have taught him
that Omaha is not Caspar, Wye"
The Nebraskan chief was asked If he
had any cowboys on his force.
Mayor the Only Cowboy.
"Only one" he replied. "and that's the
mayor himself. Now and then the execu-
tive goes out and ropes a man. but it's
not often. And, incidentally, We have
one Of the best mayors in the country"
Chief Donahue and Mai. Sylvester are
great friends.

buried him with pomp and solemnity in
the Marlborough vault. A telegram had
winged It's flight across the ocean to Mel
bourne, from whence Mr.. Sampson had
received curt announcement of John
Glendurwood's safe ARRIVAL telegram
briefly giving the sad news of one broth
er's death to another, but no answer had
been vouchsafed, and the lawyer could
not but entertain strong doubts as to
whether the new Marquis of Iverne was
gone still further on his travels, and so
their message was unread.
Craiglands was very sad in those days.

all this, she was gentle and kind 10 An

"0f the total profits earned during
this period, amounting to SS1 600 10 the
Society has returned to its stockholders
in the form of dividends the sum of
2,2sO 50; paid all the running expenses
in the sum of Sl4. aO4 rs. and has now
an excess of assets over and above all
liabilities amounting to 81 ,096. 50.
1T has no debts of any character out
standing, and has never sustained the
loss of cent during the sixteen years of
its operations.
Its only Investments, amounting now
to $9Q,s70 are secured by first mortgages
on real estate, situated almost entirely
in FroStburg and worth in every case
much more than the sum loaned"
The Society is an institution in which
the borrower becomes a stakeholder on
equal terms in all respects with those
who invest. For example, of the
$5l7S43 of profits distributed last year
nearly ~ per cent. went to borrowing
stockholders, - per cent. to the invest
ing claSs-the difference between the
two, abont > per cent, representing the
always inevitable margin of unemployed
surplus.
The lesson of this showing is-to the
man who wants to convert weekly or
monthly the money he pays for rent into
interesting bearing payments upon his
own property, the Society provides
exactly the opportunity he needs.
