TOWNS POLICE
DEPARTMENT

Few persons have any just concep-
ton of the Importance of or the variety
of activities embraced in the police
department of town even the size of
Danville A visitor to city hall, who
should remain in touch with the Off
GERS during their daily round of duties
might learn some interesting facts.
One of the misconceptions that peo
pie labor under is the fact that the.
officers duty consist solely in patrol
ing their beats, arresting an offender
now and then but for the greater part
of the day having an easy time of 1t.
1t is not generally known that, the
United States mail brings the cheif-
of-police quite IA budget daily, which
directs not the least of the activities
of the department during the day.
There are communications from the
police departments of other cities, en-
closing warrants for the arrest of per-
SONS, together with detailed descIip-
tions, which have to be closely noted

At the present time there is i'll city
hall drawer full of matter of this
sort, including portraits enough to
stock up "A "rogues' gallery" The
faces depicted as Iule are of a vii
lainous tpye, which together with the
depressing record of the man wanted
I . thn
circulars to linger i'll the memory like
a nightmare. Some of the communica-
| tions relate to lost men-who have
broken down under the strain of wOr-
ry and hard work and have wandered
away from home. The portrait on
these circulars, or probably a worn
Photograph accompanying a plain let
ter, III striking contrast to the hard
countenance of the fugitive from jus
! tice, reveal a kindly and benevolent
face, although scanned with the lines
of care and weariness. Relating TO
this class the letters that accompany
or the bit of reading on the circulars
tell IA sad and tragic tale, which
causes the practical and unsentiment-
al officer to heave a sigh as he folds
up the paper and lays it away with
the score or so of others that at all
! times claim his attention
The officers can not remember the
details of description in all cases, but
they can carry in their minds all the
salient features. To illustrate the ten
acity of their memory in this respect
we have only to revert to the case of
"Blinky" Paul, of Shamokin. who
was arrested in this city by officers
Mincemoyor and Voris couple Of
weeks ago. The fellow, never seen by
the police before, was detected on the
street after midnight. All the officers
! had to direct them was description
received through the mail two months
previously and which they were able
to apply at the first sight of the man.

TOO MANY KISSES A DAY.
Forty More Than Any Woman Should
Stand, Says West Virginia Judge.

Declaring that forty times n day is
more kissing than Il woman can stand.
the police judge of Bluefeld. w. Va.
recommended that Edward Schneider
and his wife seek separation. Schnei-
der first had his wife arrested because
she allowed him only twenty kisses a
day when for years he said he was
getting forty.
Later Mrs. Schneider had Schneider
in court. charging that he threatened
to kill her when she refused TO allow
him the forty kisses. The court dis
missed the case after advising the cou-
pie to break away for good.

Tho First Firearms.

The early history of firearms in the
sense of tubes from which missiles are
compound of the nature of gunpowder
is wrapped in obscurity, though it may
be inferred from the few early records
that such weapons were first employed
in warfare soon after the beginning of
the fourteenth century, if not some
time before. The country of their ori-
gin remains uncertain, but it was most
probably Italy.

Announcement is also made by MISS
Alice Lakey. chairman of the food COM
mittec of the National Consumers
league, that resolutions have been
adopted urging upon Congress the ne
cessity of amending the pure food act
so as ito prohibit absolutely and un-
dualificdly the use OF benzoate or soda
and similar personalities Inc IAN
euage of the resolutions adopted by
the committee of the Consumers league
closely follows that Of the resolutions
adopted by the American Medical as
ISOLATION and the American Institute
of Homeopathy. The Consumers league
is nm organization composed principal
ly If not exclusively of women who are
interested in pure food from the stand
point OF wives and mothers and who
are perhaps more interested In the sub
ject than the average man.
II would be impossible to enumeratc
at this time all of the organizations
which have allied themselves to over
turn Sccy. Wilson on his benzoatc Of
soda decision, but a few Of the moro
important are: Tho American Medical
association, the Pennsylvania Medical
association, the American Institute Of
Homeopathy, the National Grange and
the National Consumers league. AS
most of these are national organza-
tions. It is expected that the state or
ganizations will fall In line and that
Congress will be flooded with petitions
favoring the amending of the law so as
to prohibit the use of chemical prescrv
atsves, particularly those made from
coal tar such as the synthetic benzcdtc

COPPER PRODUCTION.
Great Gains Shown This Year-In-
creased ConsnmntIon Looked For.

The visible supply of copper in Great
Britain and France. which comprises
practically that of Europe, shows
an Increase for the month of Novem-
Der of 14.291. 200 pounds. says the Bos-
ton financial News. The increase since
the 1st OF January amounts to l12.1H.-
120 pounds. The total on December l.
is 23e, ,S57 500 pounds. The increase In
the surplus In the hands Of American
producers up to the end OF October was
3l.152,S60 pounds. making n combined
total OF 143.293.4 .4S0 pounds increase in
stocks since January.
These figures I'm themselves do not
seem very encouraging. but when II Is
remembered that we have had a new
high record production. they seem less
unfavorable. and Furthermore. the in
crease is only about 10 per cent of our
production alone. and an increase of
that percentage In the consumption
would Offset the gain In the surplus
The prospects are that next year we
shall see more than a 10 per cent in
crease In the consumption as COM
pared with 1909. with little or no gain In
the production. 1t is on this basis that
the best posted copper interests feel
very optimistic over the outlook for the
next year or two. and have been large
buyers OF the shares of the producing
companies.

UNCLE SANS NEW ORE.
Disclosure of Seven Feet of Shipping
Ore West of Old Workings.

Ore West of Old Workings.
Seven feet OF shipping ore In a new part
of the Uncle Sam Mining company's
domain Is the latest report of the strike.
mention of which was made by Presi-
dent John Dern last week. AT that time
only foot of ore had been encoun-
tered. but during the past few days
it has widened to feet. and gives every
promise OF developing into a big body.
Supt Griggs, who Is not given to Jump
ing at conclusions, says the find prom
iscs we'll for the future.
The disclosure was made to the west
of any other workings in the mine. and
was undertaken by Supt. Griggs, In
spite of the fact that some of the larg-
est stockholders expressed their lack
of faith in the developments in that
direction That his judgment is now
backed by results Is very gratifying to
the management. The ore carries bet
ter than 30 ounces silver. 80 per cent
lead and about $3.50 in gold.
