The Board of Aldermen is to re-
ceive the statistics of the police
force, which it demaded not long
ago when Commissioner Bingham
asked for about fourteen hundred
additional patrolmen. Acting Com
missioner O'Keefe made public an
abstract Of the report and tabu-
lated statistics which have been
prepared by the Aldermen. The
table shows that in 1896, the wear
of the consolidation, there was one
patrolman To- every 500 inhabitants
while at present there is only one
patrolman 10 every 547 Inhabitants.
The relative number of patrolmen
to inhabitants in 27 important
cities here and abroad is shown
and, with few exceptions according
Ia the tables, this city is afforded
the slenderest protection of all. .
In 1896 the population of the city
was 3,272,4l9, the number Of pat
rolmen 6,505, or one patrolman to
SOB persons. In 1907 the population
is 4,2s5, ,435; number of patrolmen
IS3O, or one to each 547 inhabi-
tants. This would indicate an adj
dition of our new patroIman for
every 80 new citizens in the last
II wears. The figures of the
Board Of Health indicate that the
population of the city next year
will be 4,422,Gs5: so that if the
increase Of 1,4OO patrolmen is
granted there will still be only
cne TO every 40 inhabitants.

The formula of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, so injurious to deli cate women even in small quantities when long continued.

HER BROTHER ID TESTIFY
Actions of Jerome Indicate That he Will put Howard Nesbit on
 the Stand.
EXPECTED TO CONTRADICT MRS. 1HAw
Or. Allan McLsne Hamilton to Testi- " for Proseoution--Cross Exam instion of pr. Evans Begun by the District Attorney--Many Of Del mas Collections Sustained.

New York, Feb. 2s.--Thcre were important developments Wednesday in the Thaw trial as affecting District Attorney Jeromes future conduct ol inc case. By recalling Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to the stand to question her about conversation with her brother he indicated that he intends to put Howard Nesbit on the stand to contradict his sister as to material fact. She denied positively that she had ever told Howard that Thaw had treated her cruelty because she would not tell lies about Stanford White. Mir. Jerome further stated that he would call as a witness for the state in rebuttal, Dr. Allan McLane Hamil- ton, who for time was employed as an aiienist for the defense. Dr. Hamilton's last public statement was to the effect that he believed Thaw to be still insane. Mir. Jerome also said he would call Dr. Blngaman, the Thaw family physician as witness for the state. He was prevented from cross questioning Dr. Bingaman "Wednesday as to hereditary insanity in the Thaw family by objections from Mir. Delmas.
 After Mrs. Thaw and Dr. Bingaman had testified briefly Wednesday, Dr. Britton D Evans was called for cross examination. Dr. Evans is one of the principal witnesses for the defense. and there were indications that the district attorney intends to make his examination a most thorough one.
 Mir Delmas was constantly on his feet with objections which Justice Fitzgerald in nearly every instance sustained. The judge further warned the district attorney that he was talk ing too wide a latitude.
 The cross examination of Dr. Evans contrasted sharply with that of pr. Wiley, the first alienist for the de- fense put on the stand. Dr. Wiley was left entirely to the mercy of the prosecutor. not single objection being registered by MT. Gleason, who at that time was examining the wit nesses
 Mir, Delmas announced that the defense will be finished this week.
 During the recess Mir. O'Reiily pleaded with Dis rict Attorney Jerome fer permission for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to remain in the ccu-t room now that her testimony Is con- rludoi.
 q guess we had better keep her out, said MT. Jerome.
 Dr Evans was recalled immediately after recess and the district attorney resumed his cross examination.

or AS interesting as any OF these
nIaces is Jim Bakers cabin, built in
tbe early 40s by this intrepid trapper,
scout and pathfinder, who ranks with
lin Bridger and Kit Carson among
the great characters of the early west.
Here Baker penetrated, long before
anv other white man thought Of set
fling in such wild country, and here
he lived with the friendly Indians and
fought the unfriendly tribes, every
dav being spiced with some thrilling
adventure.
Bakers unique cabin, which is built
with lookout" on top, where the
trapper used to watch for unfriendly
Indians, is located in a romantic spot.
1t is in the valley of the Little Snake
river which winds along the Colorado
Wyoming state line. 1t is in the foot
hills of the Sierra Madre mountains,
and near it is the celebrated Battle
mountain, where Baker and some trap
pers and squaws successfully stood

its inaccessibility, but this will soon

Old Jim Baker himself would

this valley which the building of the
Little Snake river ditch presages. He
