new YORK BOASTS OF
BEST ROGUES' GALLERY
Crooks to Number Of 10000
Carefully Indexed.

New York-This city now has the
most complete rogues' gallery in the
world Such is the proud boast made
at police headquarters. 1t took year
for Deputy Police Commissioner Frank
A. Lord and Lieutenant John Allen to
lift this town into the rogues' gallery
leadership, but they have done it, both
say.
Crooks, confidence men, murderers,
burglars, pickpockets, gangsters, gun
men, to the number of 10000, are now
indexed and cross indexed in the mod
ern gallery. Their photographs are on
file, also their finger prints, their Bertil-
Ion measurements and a vast quantity
of other information concerning them.
There are now 10000 finger prints on
record in the gallery, all neatly classi-
fed.
At moments notice any picture
can be found. Suppose second story
suspect is brought in. The detectives
turn to the section marked Burglars
then to the subclassifcations. They
read "Burglars-A, loft; B. safe; c.
plain; d, second story.
The police then look under the proper
subdivision where the pictures are kept
for the photograph of the man under
suspicion.
There are $500 pictures in the gal
lery of general thieves" men whose
talents for gaining dollars dishonesty
are too varied to be limited to one par
ticular subdivision. Photographs Of
1900 pickpockets, of whom 300 are
women, are on file. In the main the
subclassifications and the cross index
ing are innovations.
Deputy Commissioner Lord said that
he had been unable to recover all the
photographs which were removed dur
ing the Waldo regime. Many of them
he feels sure he has replaced. When
the pictures were taken out the records
went with them, and SO it will never
be known definitely to what extent the
vast correspondence with penal insti-
tutions and other police departments
has succeeded in repairing the losses.
The police rogues' gallery was start
ed here by Police Commissioner James
G. Kelso in 1870. Joseph A. Faurot,
the present head Of the detective bu-
reau, and Sergeant Crow are largely
responsible for building up the present
gallery. Faurot was sent to Paris
twice, once to study the Bertillon sys-
tenn and then to study finger print
methods.

Smith Center, Kan.-The municipal
marriage bureau, organized last
spring, is to be abolished. What cor
respondence could not accomplish the
maturing wheat crop has been able to
do and do WELL
There has been an oversupply of
women and girls in Smith county, bur
the coming of the harvest hands has
changed all this. Bright young fell
lows from colleges and universities,
east and west, have become interested
in the western Kansas girls.
Two weeks delay in harvest work
has given the strangers ample oppor-
tunity to go courting, and there isn't
a girl in Smith county now who hasn't
at least one beau. Many of them have
two or three applicants, and the mar
riage license clerk is anticipating a
rushing business.

Seraner came all the way to Saline
county from Fayetteville, O., to become
the bride of Francis De Sales Schnei-
der, young farmer near Salina, and
even then came near losing out for
delay at least, but she was equal to the
occasion, and she is now Schneider's
bride.

fairs of this young couple was caused
by Schneider getting into a runaway
accident and sustaining broken leg,
fractured ribs and bruises all over his
body, and the sweetheart found him
bound in plaster Of paris casts SO tight
he could not move.

young lady hooked up the favorite
horse to a buggy and came to Salina,
secured the marriage license, engaged
the preacher and returned to the farm.

A REMINDER OF FORMER DAYS

The calling at The Democrat Office
this week of Samuel Platt of Pineville,
Pa, was a decided reminder of earlier
days in our town. Mr.. Platt is the
older son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
James A. Platt, highly respected pio
neers of Mineral Point, and was born
here July IA, 1857, just So years ago.
He attended school here until his four
teenth year, and completed his educa-
ton in the public schools of Philadel-
phia. His appearance marks him as a
right good citizen of what would now
be called the east; although he comes
from one of what the old biographies
termed the Middle States. He is en-
gagged in farming and other enterprises;
and is intensely interested in agricul-
ture and education. He is forward
looking man in politics and hopes for
some good results from the administra-
ton of Gov. Brumb mbaugh, who repre-
sents the more liberal element in the
Republican party. Samuel reports his
brother Charles S. Plat and his sister
Mrs. Isadora P Brown as being in
good health and living among pleasant
surroundings in Pennsylvania.
The father, Mr.. James A. Plat, had
good knowledge of geology and in his
life time contributed to The Democrat

sibilities Of southwest Wisconsin as a
mining region

MUSHROOMS FOR FOOD.
Germans Consider DeIicacy to Take the
Place of Meat.

Germans Consider DeIicacy to Take the
Place of Meat.
Hamburg.-AS an auxiliary food sup
ply, of which little advantage is taken,
mushrooms are being urged upon Ger
man epicures, and especially upon
Catholics, as substitutes for meat on
fast days.
DR.. Won Langemann, a Dresden ply
sician, estimates that there are over
200 kinds of mushrooms in Germany.
At least one-quarter Of these are not
only edible, but nourishing and tasty,
while only seven can be classed as
poisonous toadstools.
The annual crop, if it all were har-
vested, would run into the millions of
marks in value, he believed, and would
supply hundreds Of tons Of food. AL
ready the inhabitants of villages in the
vicinity of forests have learned to sup
ply themselves with a valuable food
that costs nothing but the gathering.
For an illustration of the fact that
representation is the thief of time
visit the Cornfalfa farms of the Swartz
brothers near Waukesha and see halt
dozen big barns filled with alfalfa and
in addition stacks 60 feet in diameter
and so feet high, and then reflect upon
the fact that the most urgent campaign
is necessary to get the farmers of the
state to grow this crop.-Wisconsin

Mrs. Mary Davis, Miss Rose Mcconnell
and Mr.. James Dover of Janesville,
Mrs. Charles Stock of Waupun, twelve
grandchildren and nine great grand
children.

by relatives and old time friends, took
place Monday morning at half past
nine o'clock. from the home to st.
Pauls Church. with Requiem mass by
the rector, Rev. FIR. l.. P. OReilly.
Interment at st. Pauls Cemetery.
Mrs. Dover was good, kind mother,
a devout member of St. Pauls Church,
and will be greatly missed by those
who loved her. The family have the
sympathy of many friends in their
bereavement.
Mrs. Elizabeth GlanviIle.
Elizabeth Glanville, daughter of
Capt. and Cassandra Poad, was born in
the village of Linden, on the 7th day of
July, 1949. An invalid for thirty five
years but dauntless in spirit, she kept
going until the evening of her sixty
sixth birthday, when, engaged in her
household duties, nobody in the house
but herself, she fell to the floor uncon-
scious, and the next morning died at
nine o clock.
The deceased became the wife OF
Oliver Glanville in November, 1871.
Of that union two children were born,
daughter Josephine, now Mrs. Samuel
Launder, and a son Archibald, who
continued to reside with his mother,
and who went to work on might shift
only an hour before his mother col
lapsed, but only after she had assured
him she was as we'll AS usual. Mrs.
Launder, the daughter who lived near,
went over to her mothers an hour or
two afterwards, and found her in a
diving condition and unconscious.
The deceased was a woman of more
than average ability, of indomitable
will and locally distinguished for her
housekeeping qualities. For many
years she was very sick woman, but
she never lost heart nor her ambition.
But no force of human will can prevail
against the ever forward march OF the
years, and so she too, following her
husband, passed out beyond the bar;
and those of us who have known her
longest and who know her best, Will
cherish her memory for the sterling
oualities that she possessed.

 Secretary Carter states that the hike to Fort Huachuca was probably the biggest feature of the outing. The boys carried their blankets, cooking utensils and personal effects, after the manner of soldiers. On the return trip to the headquarters the boys en- joyed the novel experience of an alI- night encampment on the desert. The usual campfire story was read by Secretary Carter, who also gave the boys a comprehensive talk on some of the essential characteristics of the ideal soldier or participant in any great movement demanding personal qualities and initiative
 Secretary Carter states that he will direct another camping trip in the near future, unexpected delay being involved by the absence of General Secretary Richardson 4 permanent organization of the boys engaged in the camping activities will be one beneficial result Of the whole affair
