IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS

IgW-~HE REGENT DEATH Of Dr. AIphonse Der
 IL tillon of Paris revives interest in for mer discussions as to the relative merits of his system Of identifying criminals, and the finger print method.
 B The ordinary Identification Of criminals by. photographs and descriptions is at best uncer- tain and cumbersome Tn a big office ioO,- GOO pictures may have been collected in the Rogues' Gallery, and it would take any one a week to go through them. The thousand shades of expression on the human face partic- ularly when man is reluctant to enter this Hall Of Fame, makes Identification often du- bious.
 In the five cent thrillers that you buy at the news stand, the detective can always recog- nize a given face after intervals of many years Real detectives not gifted with such powers of memory.
 The system of measurements which Dr. Bertillon invented has been very widely used It was claimed that two people in the world could show measurements corresponding in all particulars.
 The system encountered the objection that lit took man with much experience in such measuring to produce reliable results Errors were occasionally made, and measurements by different men varied, even. those made by the same man at different times. As result the Bertillon system has been to an extent discard ed in favor of the finger print method The criminal who is held merely on fin ger print laughs at the dirty little smooch pro- duced against him. But as the enlargement is l shown, and the wonderful individuality sex- plained he pales at the certainty of this demon stration. No two men have the same finger marks. A number of thieves have in this way been jailed as the results of marks unconscious- | Iy left on windows.

BENEDICTINEs.

T~FE FIRST to introduce the monastic life A into western Europe was St. Benedict, who was born of noble Italian family about 4SO and who died on March 2l 543. His festival is celebrated to-day by the members of the famous Benedicfine order of monks Of which he was the founder. Benedict was sent 10 Rome as lad to be educated, but he soon fled from the wicked city and sought refuge in the desert mountains of Subiaco. For three years he lived in an almost inaccessible cave. The fame of his sanetlty soon gathered disciples about hin. but he made enemies Of some of his monks by the rgor of his rule He built q dog cn monasteries at Sllbiaeo. and then removed ip Mantle Casino, where he.founded an abbey in which he wrote his rule and where he lived tii his deaihs His Regula Monachorum," or rule of the monks, soon became the common isale4of western Inonachisn, No other rel gious order has been so remarkable for its extent, wealth. and members of note and learning, as the Beneeiictine Of this ordert there have been some two-score popes and cardinals archbish- ops, bishops and saints by the thousands.

THE BRITISH LEAD IN

FOOTBALL, ANYWAY. M When Englishn say that cricket is a faster and better game than baseball, practically everybody on this side of the Atlantic will burst right out in gHffaws of uproarious nirth. The question of baseball versus crick- ct has already been decided by a fair and unprejudiced Jury. The Cana dians. were the people who had to de- eide between the two games. So far as any prejudices they may have en- tertained were concerned, they Woul1 naturally lean toward cricket, the na- fional game of the mother country. Yet everybody knows that baseball has far surpassed cricket in the. popu- lar favor of Canadians.
 In the matter of Hootball however. John Bull is able to give Uncle Sam quite a few pointers. From the view rates sports according to what may oe got out of them in health and yigor as well as pleasure, soccer football seems to be very near the ideal ath- letfc game. and as superior to the American intercollegiate grfdiron con- test as baseball is to cricket. As an exercise for the development of the body, the American brand of football is not to be mentioned in the same breath with soccer. Yankee football puts a premium on bigness, bulk and beef. and eliminated the lads of slender and frail build. Soccer Is clean and fast, and mental quickness and alertness and speed are the main requisites. Dangerous play is barred

in soccer. and this is as it should be, for sport can be sufficiently strenuous without involving brutality or any, thing but remote danger to life and limb.
 Bows and men who want a game that can be played during the greater part of the year, that develops mus cle. speed, suppleness and qufckness of thinking, and that comes pretty nearly to being the ideal outdoor sport should organize soccer teams It is a game that can be played with great benefit by the lightweight as well as the heavyweight, and in some ways the former has the advantage
 The difference between soccer and American football is about the differ ence between an old-tfTne fight to the finish with bare knuckles under slauEhterhouse rules and an exhibition of clever glove boxing by such mas ter of the game as Packey Mcfarland The really good boxer, who uses his head, doesn't have to knock down his opponent to prove his superiority, and in soccer Q team doesn't have to fight it's way to victory over the matmed and raauled prostrate forms of their foemen.
 The desire to play football seems to be inborn in humanity The Chinese are said to have played it away back in the dim and misty past, and so did the ancient Romans and the Aztecs The early Germans played footbal Il with the skulls of their enemies, and in England it is said, the dome of 2. Dane who had been captured in bat tie was the first football. Football was at first brutal, dangerous game. and many were killed in nearly every contest With increasing civilization. England has contrived in soccer a type of football that eliminates the old cruel features, but the American intercollegiate game is a tendency to- ward reversion to the football of our ancestors. When it comes to foot ball, one Is forced to admit that Eng. lishmen are better judges of what coei- stitutes good sport than Americans.

DESCENDANT OF
 ANCIENT FAMILY.

Gilbert George Reginald SackvilIe. eighth Earl de Ia, Warr, was recent visitor to America, but he is not the first of his old and distinguished fam fly to set foot on these shores. The young Earl, who was born forty-five years ago today. is the descendant Of that immortal Thomas West, third baron de la Warr, who came over to govern the infant colony of yir-= ginia more than three centuries ago, in I61o, and who succored the set. tIement in the nick Of time to save it from ruin and abandonment- His governorship was wise but brief. H. health forced return to England, but some years later he again sailed for Virginia, and died on the way.
 The. title of Baron a e Ia Warr dates from the year 1909. and the earldom was created in I761. The Earl also holds the titles of Baron West, Wis count Cante1upe and Baron Buck | hurst. The present holder of these iIlustrious titles has not done much. toward perpetuating the glory of the family He served with Bethune's Horse in South Africa. but without gaining any particular distinction His first wife was MurieI. daughter of the first Lord Brassey. They were mar ried in 1891, and the Countess secured a divorce after an unhappy domestic life of eleven years. In 1908 the Earl married HiIda. daughter of Col. C.. Lennox Tredcroft. Last year she. too. tired of the Earl as a matrimonial i T,<,<.<, 1<.,- 1< <f fI, z. q <; vorce court granted her a decree Of restitution of conJugaI rights. as a preliminary to divorce proceedings. The Countess alleged that she had been deserted by her noble husband, who had permitted his affections to stray elsewhere

4 the precise distance attained by De Yer H.. Warner when he was thrown out of the Re- publican camp. He may be near enough to walk back, or, being very wealthy man, and a liberal contributor, the depleted treasury of some later day may cause him to be invited in again.
 That there is a serious dispute between John T. King, and Mr. Warner, there can be little doubt. But such differences are always being healed by time, and the alternative pre- sents that MT. King may mean nothing more than to teach Mr. Warner his. place.
