boyhood he led life Of constant war.
fare, peril and treachery. In order to-
save his dukedom and his life from the.
greed of neighboring potentates he
was forced to acts of brutality and
crime. At length he was safely estab7
lished in his own realm and looked
about him for further conquests. his
eye fell on England.
The English king, Edward the Con-
fessor," was childless. William per-
suaded or bribed Edward to bequeath
to him the throne of England.
Edward died early in 1866. The
English decided, rightfully, that no
king could legally bequeath his crown
to anyone. So they elected Harold
their king. At once William demand
ed the crown. Harold refused to give
it up. William stirred up an invasion
of England by the NorWegians and
landed a Norman host on the British
shores at about the same time. Har~
old thrashed the NorWegians, then
hurried his tired army to Hastings to
meet William. The NOrmans were
victorious; and in London, on Christ
nas day, 1865, William was crowned
king of England. There he built a
fortress that later became the famed
Tower Of London"
\ His conquest of England was piece
of bare highway robbery, with no
shadow of moral right to justify it.
Yet, In the end, it was the best thing
that could have happened to the coun-
try. For it infused new blood into the
rough Saxon strain, moderniZed the
isolated. old-fashioned British and
brought them into touch with the
world at large and with progress.
To create a royal hunting park for
himself (the New Forest) he destroyed
villages, churches, converts and farms
for a space of thirty miles in Hamp-
shire and had desolate track stocked
with game for his own pleasure. The
evicted inhabitants were turned away
to starve Williams fathers had been
sea rovers. He had chosen to become,
land pirate; merciless, grasping; a
lawless laWmaker.
The king Of France made fun of
Williams fairness William, IN rage,
found excuse to invade France. There,
in 1887, he captured and burned the
town of Nantes. AS he was riding
through the city's hot embers his
horse reared and threw him, causing
mortal injury.
Thus the BLACKBOARD who for sixty
years had braved death in every form
persisted at last through q bit of care
less Craftsmanship.

Success of Finger-Print System
Hard on Crooks.
Has Been Means of Securing Many
Convictions and Its Use Is Being
Adopted More Widely by
the Police.

napolis.-Burglars operating in
indianapolis in the future will have to
wear gloves, as the detective depart
ment henceforth will pay more at
attention to the practical side of the
finger-print system. Captain of Detec-
tives HoltZ, on a recent visit to New
York, found the detectives there were
making use of the finger-print system,
and he believes it will be great help
in solving burglaries.
The detective department here has
used the fnger-print system since it
was adopted by the national bureau of
Identification. 1t has been used, how
ever, more in identifying prisoners
with the Bertillon system. After
prisoner has been brought in and his
Bertillon Identification has been COM
pleted, the finger-print cards were
used to verify the Identification more
completely.
When l was in New York recently
found the police department using
the finger-print system to identify bur-
glars who leave finger prints around
the job they have DONE" said Cap
tain Holtz Several large burglaries
have been cleared in the east through
finger prints, and the detectives there
say burglars now wear gloves when
they are at work.
Il have always believed the finger
prints practical in police work. Ere
quently the finger prints of safe blow
ers are left on the door, and the or
binary burglar is apt to leave finger
prints around a door or window.
THE trouble is, the finger print to
be of any service to police work, has
to be very clear, or the expert is un-
able to see enough lines to make an
Identification"
Bert Perrott, Bertillon clerk, is also
the f1nger-print expert. Perrott, since
he has taken up the finger prints in
connection with the Bertillon work,
has shown great skill. Recently, as
a test, a glass bottle was taken into
the detective department at roll call.
Previously the detectives had gone to
Perrott's office and he took the i'm
preston of their finger tips.
After leaving the bottle Perrot re-
turned to his Office. Detective Frank

BETTER EYES, BETTER MAN
California Prison Warden Has a The
ory Along the Lines of
Reform.

Sacramento, Cal.-To carry out his
theory that steps for all-around bet
terment of prisoners should be taken,
beginning with physical conditions,
Warden Johnston of Folsom peniten-
tiary has had thirty-two prisoners ex-
amined by eye and ear specialists.
Jake Oppenheimer, "the Hyena," I'M
der sentence of death, will be fitted
with a pair Of glasses. The warden
said that Oppenheimer was pleased
with the result, as his vision had been
much impaired in the preparation OF
book he is now writing, entitled
"The Thoughts of Condemned Man"
Another prisoner will be fitted with
an artificial eye, on the theory that
any improvement in a prisoners looks
will heighten his self-respect and
make him more amenable to efforts
for his reform.

Workmen Discover Tomb of Andrea
Morosini in Venetian Church
Mummy Also Found.

Venice.-It always pays to scrape
the walls of the churches and palaces
of Italy, for almost invariably under
the uninteresting outer wash are
found frescoes of more or less value.
This is just what happened here in
the Church of SITS. John and Paul,
where some frescoed figures of the
evangelists have come to light near
the high altar
What is, perhaps, more interesting
to the ordinary traveller is the dis
covery in the same church at the
other side of the high altar of a Gothic
sarcophagus of the fourteenth cen
fury in which a mummified body was
lying on the back with the head turn
ed to the right. One of the feet was
detached from the body. From the
description it was learned that these
were the remains of Andrea Morosini,
a famous warrior and a member of
the family which gave four doges to

New York.-Wall street has just lost
one Of it's most interesting and best
known characters, and at the same
time is minus fourishing business
The character in question is known as
Blind Charley, and the business is
that of begging, by which he has ac-
cumulated a fortune Of more than
100000
Kind-hearted brokers, fresh from a
successful turn in the market, have
been cheerful contributors to the bat
tered tin cup of the blind beggar, and
so generous have been gifts that there
is apparently no reason why Blind
Charley should not have run his for
tune up to the half-million mark If he
had only used bit of discretion. The
trouble began when Charley started
out for Coney Island last week, all
dressed up. He looked about as much
like a beggar as Andrew Carnegie or
John D. Rockefeller might look If they
ever took it in their heads to give
Coney a whirl The little boy who
led the way had on new suit and a

1t is possible to say of Emerson. as
he said of himself, that his sentences
are mutually repellant particles-that
he has no construction; of Dickens
that he runs too much to external
tags for character; of Jane Austen
that her stage is small; of Scott that
he is careless and long; even of
Shakespeare that he is uneven, cares
nothing for the spiritual unity Of
the universe, and sees life only as a
panorama. And when you have said
all these things you have said moth

thing that makes Emerson, or Dick

novel way of robbing peasants carts
as they drive in laden with provisions.
The peasant drives while his wife
sits at the back of the cart to keep
guard. The thieves jump onto the
cart, put their arms round the wom-
ans waist, kiss her and hustle her
off with endearing terms. Off runs the
outraged husband to catch his wife.
Meanwhile the Don Juan's accom-
plices take away the provisions and
disappear into the forest.
When the peasant finally gets back
his wife he finds he has been robbed
Of all but the cart The trick is prac-
ticed with great success.
