If one group of fnanciers is nego- tiating with another group that win bear watching, a sleuth Is called in and set on their trail. Wall Street men trust their detectives no more than they trust one another. for the sleuths themselves are constantly subjected to a system of espionage to see that they are honest and faithful. If detective is sent out on a job in nine cases out of ten another detective is put on his trail, This Is called shadowing the shadow
 Private detectives played promi- nent part in the Equitable Life Assur- ance scandal, probably more promi- nent part than they have ever played In any other financial affair Every agency making a speciality of Wall Street work had all 1t could do in the four months that this struggle was one It will be recalled that this was light between President Alexander of the Society and James Hazen Hyde who owned the controlling interest It was natural that they should employ de- tectives to watch each others every move. Hyde distrusted some of his own friends and kept small army of sleuths on their tracks Even the law years distrusted each other. and em- ployed detectives to find out if their suspicious were justified.
 Ftnanciers first began to employ de- tectives to watch their employees If they had man in a responsible post tscn. who handled much money, and seemed to be spending more than his salary Justified, they got detictive to watch him. The detective was required to report his hour of going home, where he ate diner. what his amusement con sisted of, and especially if he spent much time in the tenderIoin or around the race tracks. Beginning with this sort of work, the sleuth has gradually won a more important place in the street"

This was brought out in the testimony of experts at the in- vestigations by the legislative commit tee at Harrisburg Within a recent period Mir. sanderson has purchased q yacht and expects to cruise during the summer months under the flag of the New York Yacht Club.
 It has been testified that MT. Sander sons profits on the material furn- ished in equipping the capitol were enormous. For instance. in list of articles supplied by him, the com missions experts have shown that while Sanderson paid s2s.o for cer- tain group of furnishings, he was en- abled, through the unique system of per foot" and per pound" measure ments and weights, to charge the State si55, s6s60. It was shown too. that painting and decorating 313.283 feet of walls and ceilings cost the State $7ss,- 4731s. while 1t should have cost only $164, 4735S.
 Other exposures of the manner in which Sanderson piled up profits on the Capitol until they reached mill lions of dollars were brought to light by the investigators. One of them was the fact that rostrums for the Senate and House caucus rooms, which were supposed to have been built of ma- hogany, were really made of putty, painted and veneered so as to resemble mahogany. This. of course resulted in a big profit. The eub-contractor built the rostrumsl and charged San derson s2,oeo while the States bill was s35,144, and he got the money. too.
 Detectives in Wall Street.
 Every day the detective is becoming more important factor in the business of Wall Street. The detective even figures in great railroad and indus trial deals. and. in fact. he has hand in almost everything.

Has Used Duffy's for Fifty Years

Mrs. Anna B. Depew, of Whar- ton, Ohio, who has just celebrated her t0tst birthday, is still hale and hearty, says that she would have been under the sod if 1t had not been for DUFFY'S PURE MALT WIHSKEY.
 Mrs. Depew has a good appetite, sleeps well and enjoys perfect health, notwithstanding that the doctors gave her up to die A years ago, and she says she believes that she would have died if 1t were not for the prompt use of the great family medicine-Duffy's Pure Malt WhiskeY.
 I he following are Mrs. Depew's own words, written Aug. 17th, 1906, after she had celebrated her 101st birthday.
 q wish to tell you what OUTFITS MALT WHISKEY has done for me. Fourteen years ago the doctors gave me up to die. We had some DUFFY MALT WHISKEY in the house which commenced to use right off, as a last reaoFt. and I grew better, and finally became well. taking 1t according to directions.

n.< city AwaKeas to ReaIiratiea that Criminal. are Under Protecsien of Guardians of Law--soelety Makes War ea .saa-Aer.." wAe Annoy she shop Girls.

New York. March Special )-- Every now and then New York wakes m and makes the discovery that It's nolice force is bad. very bad. The city has inst made another of these peren- nIai discoveries and Is in the midst of nn anti-roiice agitation.
 The present agitation was staIteo by Gen. Theodore Bingham, the stren- nous Commissioner of Police, who, on his induction into office. introduced into the vocabulary such euphonions ex- nressfons as "heIfs delight" and "heu's bells" Like many another commits eaoner gone before, General Bingham found that the department was not dos ing It's duty. He found grafters among the patrolmen. the sergeants, the cap- tains and the inspectors.
 .Helrs bells" quoth the General. .show can I run things when haven't even the power to reduce an officer who does not do his duty?"
 Forthwith, the General decided that If the power to reduce inefficient and dishonest inspectors were given to him he could Improve matters. To think was to act and he started campaign In the Legislature to obtain the neces- eary legislation to carry out his Idea.
 The history of the police force shows that it has always stoutly resisted any effort to purify 1t. so straightway the inspectors started campaign in oppo- sftion to General Bingham. There has been talk of an immense poodle fund to influence members of the Legisla- fure at Albany, and 1t is doubtless true that such a fund has been raised, al- though the authorities may never be able to prove 1t.
 According to the story, an attempt was made to collect from every one of the s.es2 patrolmen. an assessment of s2o each. Of course. the attempt failed in many instances, but there Is proof that sS2,000 has been raised {. Commissioner Bingham and District Attorney Jerome raided the headauar- tsrs of the Patrofmen's Benevolent As- sociation and found that amount. The policemen explained that they were collecting the money in pursuance of a plan to Increase the moFtuary benefit from the present ss25 to $1 ,0o0
 Every good citizen approves Gem eral Bfnghams course, and every per son who has his eyes open, knows that the members of the police force take protection money from liquor sellers and dive keepers. The funny part of it to an on1ooker Is that the city which has been living under these same con- ditions for years. should wake up every now and then and make such fuss without accomplishing anything.

BLOOD GETS SOUR.


 At this time of year, says a we'll known authority. the Kid- neys become weak, ciogged ana inactive, falling to filter out the poisons and acids. which sour the blood, causing not only fa- ? cial and bodily eruptfons. but the worst forms Of fsheuma- fism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions
 It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescrip- .tion pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dan- deiion, one-half ounce: Conn pound Kargon. one ounce: Corn- pound Syrup Sarasparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle and take in tea spoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime.
 This simple hcme-mads mix ture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, SO they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matt ter from the blood, and expci this in the urine, at the same time restoring. the full blood .count"--that is, s5 per cent red blood corpuscles--which is ab- soluteIy indispensable to per- feet health.

The girls rebuffed the men when they spoKAstb them but they kept on talking to thefn just the same. The officers watched the five for a minute and then stepped up and arrested the two men.

It Is the fraudulent deprivation OF an

NEW IMMIGRATION LAW.

The new immigration measure Will
provide for very exhaustive investigation
of many points. Meanwhile, great eff
forts are going TO be made to distribute
tn. newcomers more thoroughly
throughout the country, and to test their
fitness for success, particularly in South
ern agriculture and industry. AT pres
ent we are receiving immigrants at the
rate Of considerably more than a million
a year, one-q larter. of them coming from
1ta'y, ano her quarter from the races OF
Austria Hungary, another quarter from
Russia and the remaining quarter frt m
Germany, Scandinavia, the British Isles,
and scattered sources. The situation
REQUIRE. the most exhaustive study and
ANALYSIS. Ii these new factors that make
up the bulk OF cur immigration should
be sifted or restricted in some radical
fashion, public opinion will support con
erees in legislation after the argument
has been sustained by showing of un-
deniable facts. At present the country
is in great need of labor, and good kind
of immigration is welcome. But in the
long run, our industrial life itself. as
well as our social and political institu-
tions, must depend upon the character
OF American citizenship. and it would be
a fearful mistake to bring here classes Of
people permanently undesirable in vast
numbers merely to meet a temporary
demand in the labor market.-From

American Monthly Review OF Reviews

DESTRUCTIVE SUSPICION.

Truth, it has been said, is to be found
at the bottom OF the vel, but it is some
times discovered in deeper and darker
places. For instance, the Chicago Trlb'
une has found this nugget in its editori'
al rooms: IA deep dstrust OF all whose
political or economical ideas do not coin
eide with one's own, u readiness to as
cribe unworthy motives TO all opposition
is no basis upon which to rear an en-
during civic .t,ucture." Excellent. But
the Tribune might vastly improve this
preaching by occasional efforts at prac-
tice. While it breaches eloquently
against ''setting class against GLASS;" it
works diligently at that very objection
able practice. If it differs in this respect
from those it lebukes, the difference 's
not in setting class against class "in the
abused name OF Liberty" as it Gays they
do, but in the honored interest of mas.
terful parasites.

Artists at the Grand.

Artists at the Grand.
George Primrose at the head OF a pro.
cession of artists, comes to the Grand
theater tomorrow night, when the local
theater-goers will be given view Of the
finest minstrel organization outside coon
paradise.
Aberdeen is ripe for just such treat
of black-face fun, and Manager Benn is
congratulating himself that George
Primrose-the King Bee OF Minstrelsy-
has been the one selected to deliver the
goods. The one new act alone is said to
the best this famous minstrel has ever
had. 1t is entitled Twilight on the Old
Plantation" and is in two scenes. The
first represents a negro cabin with it's
tangled growth Of wild flowers; the sec.
ond, a fascinating view of a cotton field
a.bloom. By a clever manipulation Of
the lights many wonderful and inspiring
sights are produced.
Mr.. Primrose appears in soft.shoe
dance that is absolutely unique, and is
assisted in this by score Of dancers.
This one act is stated to invite the Hottest
consideration of the most exact critic,
and is a revelation of skill in dancing
aud high art scenic accessories. The
staging and costuming are noteworthy
features. and the old essentials OF min.
strelsy, such as the jubilee melodies, the
"cane and cotton" enchanting tunes and
the songs OF home and mother have not
been overlooked.

COON pLAYSPOLiTICS.
Blocks AppOrtiOnment Bill TO Con.
troll Federal PATRONAGE.

OLYMPIA, March 9.-Lieutenant Gov
postmaster OF Port Townsend has become
a considerable factor in congi essonal
apportonment, and another meeting OF
the conference committee has been called
for Monday morning, presumably to find
whether a way cannot be devised to sat
isfy that desire by taking jefferson coun-
ty out Of the second or Pierce county
district and attaching it to the first. This
proposition will be fought to the end.
Rather than block congressional APP
portlonment entirely, the senators from
Pierce and other counties agreed to con.
cede San Jnan and Island counties to
the first or King county district. Lieu
tenant Governor Coon stacked the con.
ference committee in a game he was
playing with ecme Of the friends OF
Congressman CnNhman by appointing
on it Kline and Rands, the latter from
Clarke county, the extreme southern
end Of the proposed second district. and
the former from Whatcom county, which
wishes Jan Juan and leland to he in the
fret with Whatcom, to keep King from
having too great prelominance.
In other wo,ds, the lieutenant govern.
or appointed a committee the majority
of which was against the majority vote
of the senate which amended the house
bill by including San Juan and Island
in the second district. In the house, of
course. the conferees appointed repre-
sented the bill as it passed the house.
An interesting story is told by some OF
the senators Of what the lieutenant gov.
ernor proposed before he appointed SEN
ate conferees. II Congressman Cush.
man would indorse his candidate for
postmaster Of Port Townsend, Coon
would in turn appoint as conferees on
congressional apportionment senators
| desiring San Juan and Island to remain
with Pierce county In the second district.
A telegram was sent to Congressman
Cnshman laying the pr position before
him. to which he replied in substance:
