For close to a score of years, in the
early part of the eighteenth century, the
mention of the name Of Dick Turpin sent
a shudder through the frame of every
Englishman, for II was the synonym OF
everything to be feared in those days
Richard was born at Hampstead, Essex.
in 17O6 His father was atsinnkeeper.
but young Dick chose the calling Of a
butcher, and, having been detected at
cattle stealing. he Joined gang of
thieves. Several of the members having
been captured and hanged. Dick asso-
ciated himself with the highwayman, Tom
King. So closely was he being pursued
that he was compelled to nee into York
shire, where he passed for q gentleman.
but only for brief period.
In the early part of his career, TurpiD
selected lonely farmhouses for attack
while the male occupants were away.
With his companions he would invariably
torture the inmates into yielding up their
valuables.
Turpin and King were not to be very
long associated. One day q constable
was on the point Of arresting King. when
Turpin. riding up. fired. but missed his
man and shot his ally through the breast.
from which he died. In March, 1739. he
was tried at York for horse stealing, was
found guilty and sentenced to death.
When he was being conveyed to the
place Of execution, he divided a consider
able sum of money among five men to
follow the cart as mourners, and he died

CIVIL SERVICE FALLS SHORT.
G. c. Tanner Says Uncle Sam Hasn't
Adopted Whole System.

Editor Tine Washington Herald:
The very little We have of civil service
we copied from European countries The
copy fell far short of the original in al.
most every respect. This is more espe.
cially the case with respect to superan-
nuated employees of the government.
Our system makes ample provisions for
the inlet Of employees, and many come ir
from heaven knows where, or how. OF
when, but it makes no provisions for an
outlet We see the omission only when
We come to the dam and see pond water
that We cannot escape.
1t is strange in copying foreign systems
that we should have left out half of the
plan. 1t shows us as poor copyists and
shor rtsighted economists: but we do ac-
tually see things sometimes when they
obstruct our view, and We cannot pos
sibly escape seeing them.
Retirement of old employees is one OF
the absolute appurtenances Of any ma
tional civil service system. and without
it there is nothing practical or rational
about it. This is the sum and substance
of the matter.
Either give it An outlet as we'll as an
inlet or abolish the whole thing; in other
words. let US have a real civil service
something We have not yet had in its
entirety. GEO. c. TANNER.

Seven Famous Outlaws
No. S
DICK TURPIN.

without loss of courage on the 7th Of
April, 1739 at York. aged thirty-three.
He had such a considerable following
among the rough element At the time
that his body was rescued from the
clutches Of a surgeon and was buried in
the churchyard of St. Georges Church,
York. His fetters. weighing twenty-eight
pounds, are stfll shown at York Museum.
The fact of Turpin's migration to the
North after shooting King may have sug-
gested to Harrison Ainsworth, the novel;
ist, the Interpretation Of the well-known
legend Of the ride to York into his ro-
nance of "Rickwood," in which Dick
Turpin figures monumentally. According
to somewhat substantial legends, Turpin
set out upon his adventurous ride from
Broadway, Westminster, on his famous
mare, Black Bess. whence. says Walcott.
the Black Horse, Broadway, has its
name. The spot where this same apocry-
phal black mare sank exhausted to the
ground Is still pointed out on the York
race course.
The amount of interest shown by the
English in this famous outlaw Is demon
strated in the many baseless stories that
have been credited to him and in the
buildings and locations with which they
associated his name. For instance, the
Turpin traditions at Hounslow.. at Finch
ley, and at Enfield. where one OF the rob
ber's lurking places in Camletmoat Is still
pointed out. Dick Twpin's portmanteau
forms the subject Of an engraving in
Pink's 'Clerkenwell." and the legend was
humorously applied in the well-known
ballad in the "Pickwick Papers.

Alexandra, Va Jan. 1s-The question
of the power of the board Of police COM
missioners to appoint a second acting
lieutenant of the police force was the
principal theme at a meeting of that
body tonight. Following the debate. a
resolution was offered by Commissioner
Oehlert that the city council be requested
to ask Corporation Attorney Fisher for
an opinion on the subject This was
passed. The matter was brought up by
Commissioner Oehlert, who explained
that Policeman Roberts had been acting
in the capacity of assistant lieutenant
Commissioner Bryan did not think the
board had a right to fill the position. in
asmuch as the charter does not provide
for any such position. Commissioner
Oehlert, however, stated that he had a
personal talk with the corporation at
torney in reference to the matter. and
the latter in a personal conversation told
him the board had right to govern the
police force as it saw fit Commissioner
Barrett thereupon suggested getting the
official opinion of the corporation attorney
in the matter.
The annual report of Chief Goods for
the year ended December 81 last showed
that 1,43S arrests were made There
were 1,0H dodgers accommodated at police
headquarters. Since June 1 last, 125 un-
licensed places have been investigated.

Revenue Callahan. The value of stolen
and lost property was given at $3.975. 75,
and the amount recovered was $3. 81. 90
Il
of extraordinary character had occurred
during the year.
According 20 the report drunken and
disorderly people were the chief Offend
ers, there being 80 charged with this
offense. Next in line came people
adjudged guilty of disorderly conduct and
fighting, numbering 27s. For assault with
deadly weapons there were 23 arrested.
One arrest was made for murder, while
three were made for attempted murder.
The number noted for petit larceny was
ninety-nfne. with fifteen for chicken
stealing, and -fifty-nine for gambling.
Later in the evening the chief appeared
before the board and was interrogated
by the members on certain matters. A
pistol recently lost by Policeman Samp-
son through an accident was returned
he having substituted similar one for
the lost weapon. The board then ad
journed.

war to Rid City Of Impure Foods
Not New, as Stated.
That the sweeping crusade" by the
United States to rid this city Of impure
foods has been going on since the enact
ment Of the pure food law, and has not
just begun as stated. was the statement
made at the district attorneys Office and
the Office Of the Solicitor Of the Agricul-
ture Department yesterday afternoon
In so far as these two divisions OF the
government are concerned, there is NO
more activity now than there has been
for the past few years or will be in the
future, it is declared.
Assistant District Attorney Stanton c.
Peelle, who is prosecuting these cases,
stated that impure products and goods
were confiscated nearly every day. There
is absolutely nothing new in this" he
said, ''and this ONCE Is doing no more
now than it has been doing. Reports are
received by this ONCE from the Bureau
Of Chemistry of the Agricultural De-
partment and are Immediately acted
upon"
Concluding, he said that in his opinion
the accounts of the crusade '.just begun
were exaggerated.
