The citizen has little II any con-

fcrmance of q dangerous, or unpleas-
ant duty.
The Cairo police department pre-
SCENTS a fine physical appearance. but
the same cannot always be said of
their dress. On rainy days police
men frequently are seen carrying
umbrellas. Rubber ponchoes, such
as are used by soldiers, or rubber
capes. used by policemen in other
cities. should be included in the
equipment, as we'll as rubber
cover for the cap. 1t Is not fair TO
handicap the policeman with an UNI
brella
Tia winter time the policemen
have been permitted TO use their
own discretion in the choice Of over
coats, with the result that many
styles have been represented. 1t
was difficult to distinguish the po-
licemam from the street car motor
man during the winter seasons. 1t
should never be difficult to dis
tinguish the policeman from the
civilian. at any season OF the year.
Several needed changes have been
made in the police department since
the new administration assumed
charge OF the eity's affairs and it is
to be hoped that in the general re-
organization plans the personal APP
pearance OF the policeman will be a
consideration.

NEW TARIFF CAUSES
PANIC IN BELGIUM
Diamond Merchants Say
United States Duty Is
PrOhibitive

Amsterdam, October 1.-THE diamond
merchants of this city are in panic over
the proposed 20 per cent import duty on
diamonds in the new American tariff The
honest merchants affirm that they will
no longer be able to sell to American
dealers for the reason that INSCRIPTIONS
houses will offer diamonds on the Ameri-
can market which have been smuggled.
The 20 per cent difference in the price of
the smuggled and the unsmuggled dia-
mond will, it is averred, allow the dishon-
est houses to pay their agents we'll for
smuggling and yet take large profit
The result from the American customs
standpoint will, it is believed, show that
the net revenue following the passage of
the bill will be less than it was before
under the 10 per cent rate.
There are, 1t is estimated here, 10000
diamond cutters in the world, and one
fourth of these cut diamonds for the
American market. But only 300 diamond
cutters are in the United States. Some
10000 cutters are working here and in
Antwerp. Some thousands of these men
will be out of work If the American bill
passes, temporarily at least, because while
the bill has been pending the surplus stock
Of diamonds has been exported to the
United States. These exports will meet
the demands of the American market
for from six to nine months after the bill
is passed.

Safety Pin DELAYS Shin

Among the passengers who sailed on
the George Washington for Bremen yes
terday were ex-Gov. Edwin Warfeld of
Maryland, who says he is "the first Pro-
gressive." and the Prince Nicholas En-
galytcheff of Russia.
Ex-Gov Warfield, who is going abroad
on business trip, says he is the origi-
nator of the present progressive doc
trine. when 1 ran for governor in 1899, >
he said, 'it was on an independent ticket
and the most important doctrines of the
present progressive party were embodied
in my platform
Prince Engalytcheff who was the Rus
sian vice-consul in Chicago for IA years,
was accompanied by his wife, the daugh-
ter of C. W. Partridge of Chicago, and
by his l1-year-od daughter. says the New
York Sun.
The George Washington was delayed
five minutes at the pier by steerage
passenger from Brooklyn, who had lost
hiss ticket. Hermann Eickel arrived al
the pier two minutes before sailing time.
He carried small hand trunk, two suit
cases and pack sack. When his ticket
was demanded he set the luggage on the
wharf and hunted.
His pockets were pinned shut with
safety pins. Two longshoremen helped
him open them, but nothing of value
came to light. Then Eickel wept. The
ships officers were shouting and a GU
rious crowd gathered. 1t was four min
utes after leaving time. Then one of the
longshoremen produced the ticket from
the lining of Tickel's coat
The happy traveller wanted to kiss him,
but the longshoreman was bashful and
objected. Eickel was hustled aboard and
his luggage was tossed after him.

with a speed that suggests the miraculous
to the simple white man.
The late Lieut.. Boyde Alexander de-
scribed the system of telegraphy In his
record of his journey From the Niger to
the Nile:
The dawn was now breaking and
away ON the horizon the world seemed
waking to an alarm of drums. AS we
went on the drumming grew louder,
and presently one could distinguish the
separate taps that fell with a rhythm
resembling words. 1t was the Tubus
signalling to the beleaguered town.
I heard afterwards that the drumming
had been kept up all through the night,
and that the burden of it's message
was: Where are your big friends? We
are coming to eat you up'@
All through the continent the natives
have a very perfect system of signal
ling with drums, by which means they
rap out messages from village to viii
lage, and it is quite wonderful how
eswiftly and how far they are able to
spread news. rhe drumming Is always
