Chiefs of Police in Convention.

Early in May next there will convene
at the National Capital the largest
meeting of chiefs or superintendents of
police ever assembled in this country,
all the larger cities to be represented
from New York and Norwalk down,
with the veteran Thomas Byrnes at the
head of the list.

It is not a mere holiday jolificaticn
which is contemplated, although the
chiefs will doubtless indulge in abun-
dant interchanges of good-fellowship
and have a fine time generally, but it
is to be in the main a business conven-
tion, having for its object the establish-
ment of a certain central bureau and
the adoption of certain measures
that were agreed upon at a meeting in
Chicago two years ago, when the
“National Chiefs of Police Union” was
organized. .

It had long been felt that the heads
of the various police departments of
the United States being engaged in a
common cause, as it were, and having
interests and aims largely identical in
their character, should be united by
closer bonds of affiliation, become
better acquainted with one another
and with their respective fields and
methods of Operation and by reducing
their work to more systematic lines
than are now pursued, to greatly pro-
mote its efficiency in the detection and
prevention of criminal offenses.

There is no question but what this
can be done and to the immense and
lasting benefit of the general police
service. The movement had but a
small beginning at Chicago, less than
fifty chiefs being present, but the start

‘ was made and received a vigorous im-
petus at. the following year’s meeting
in St. Louis, where nearly a hundred
officials were in attendance, and where
it was agreed to hold the next conven-
tion in Washington.

The meeting will unquestionably be
one of uncommon interest, and the
hospital people of the National Capi-
tal, are sure to do all in their power to
make‘ the visit of these guardians of
the peace, one long to be remembered
for its enjoyablenesm As a class, the
chiefs of police throughout the coun-
try, are men of superior intelligence,
courage and high standing. They are
charged at times with responsibilities
of a most weighty character. They
have trusts, both delicate and danger-
ous to perform, and as conservators of
geod morals, the representatives in u
peculiar sense of law and order, they
rightfully command our respect and
regard. L

Of one thing, Norwalk will feel as-
sured, and that is. that no two cities in
the American Union will send better or
handsomer chiefs than Chiefs Bradley
and Vollmer.

Beauties of Finance.
In these days you can take your
paper money to the United States
Treasury and get gold for it. Then you

can cut around the corner with this
gold and sell itatapremium—that is

for more paper money than you gave
for it.

Every merchant, of course, expects
to sell what he has to sell for more than
he gave for it. But the funny feature
in this case is that the man buys and
sells from and to the same establish-
ment. tle buys his gold from the treas-
' ury, and immediately sells it to ‘Or for
’ the treasury at a higher price.

*"For $10,000 in paper the Treasury
must give you $10,000 worth of gold.
And in order to keep up its supply of
gold the Government must buy. It
Will therefore buy from you the gold it
has just sold you. And it will give you
anywhere from $10 to $50 advance on
your $10,000.

And you can do this a million times
over. So that cut of your $10,000 you
may make from ten to fifty millions.
The peOple pay; but the Government
is “maintaining the parity of every
dollar with every other dollar.”

FOLLOW NATURE AND KEIEMELL,
A GOOD RULE. “

The Question Is‘ imaohtantéflre

You Prepared ForkSpr‘ing? __

2..
P;

 

If Not, Here is Some Very Neces-
sary information fer You.

Nature will soon begin her annual
struggle for freedom from Winter’s icy
imprisonment. Already beneath the
frozen’ surface, giant forces are moving
in that direction. Purification is go-
ing on. -

It is the same with the human system.
The lengthening days are approaching
when the blood seeks to recover from
its sluggish inactivity, and it bears in
its course germs of health or disease,
as it has stored up the one or the other.
It requires therefore to be enriched
with vitalizing and health giving qual-
ities to give tone, vigor and health to
the system. ‘ - _

For this needed and beneficial service
nothing is so powerful as Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy._ Like
Nature’s own wondrousremediesin the
physical world, which purify the moun-
tains and streams as they leap; from
their confines to fill the valleys Wllll
new life, and cover orchard and field
with flower and fruit, ,it brings new.
force and health to wasted tissues and
enfeebled nerves. "

Now is the time when your nature
calls for help. Don't mistake; no other
remedy equals Dr. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy as a spring
medicine. No other remedy Will so
quickly and certainly strengthen your
nerves, invigorate your blood, and cor-
rect the action of all your organs.
It will make you well and strong as it
has done thousands of. persons; as it
did Mrs. W. A. Cutler, of 59 Orchard
St., Worcester, Mass. ~. ‘

“A year ago,” she says, “I fell ill
with nervous prostration and neural-
gin, which affected my whole system.
My digestion was also very poor. Alter
eating I would be taken With a smoth-
ering sensation, while the pulpitation
of the heart Was terrible.

“Severe nervous headaches made my
life miserable in connection with these
other troubles. I was in a fearful con-
dition, and became greatly disoour
aged. I consulted physicians and treatT
ed with them, but with no benefit.
Nothing I took did me any good.

"Finally as a last resource, I com-
menced to use Dr. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, which. had
been wonderfully praised to me. With
the first bottle I noticed an improve-
ment. and persevering in its use, I con-
tinued to steadily gain in every respect.

“My nervousness wasgsoon cured.
The neuralgia, headaches, palpitation
of the heart, indigestionand all. my
complaints entirely left me. All-this
was accomplished by Dr. Greene’s Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy.

“This wonderful medicinedid for
me what all the doctors and their ined-
icines could not do. I wish to urge all
sufferers to try it.”

N 0 power of words can describmthe
wonderful good which‘this‘ remedy "is
doing among the sick and suffering.
Those who take it are cured. Thous-
ands Of people, at the advent Of, spring,-
while not exactly sick, are yet out of
order or ailing in some way. They do
not feel just right, are not Well and
strong. cannot eat or sleep well. are
nervous, and have no strength or am-
bition for work or pleasure. Their
stomach, bowels, liver or kidneys are
inactive and torpid. Such people need
this best of all spring medicines, Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem-
edy, to restore the natural action of
these organs, give strength and vigor
to the nerves, and new life and vitality
to the blood'.

Why lose time in trying uncertain
and untried remedies, when here is a
physician’s prescription, a discovery
made by the greatest living specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases,
Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New
York City. If you take'this medicine,
you can consider yourself under Dr.
Greene’s direct professional care, and
you can consult him or write to him
about your case freely and without
charge. This is a guarantee that this
medicine will cure, possessed by no
other medicine in the world.

 

Senator D. B. Hill.-

Of the many surprises in political life
which have from time to time startled
the community, Senator David 13. Hill
has furnished more than an average
share.

Despite the bitter feelings which it
has been alleged exist between Presi-
dent Cleveland and the Senator, it has
been demonstrated on two occasions
that the Senator places the success of
the Democratic party at the head-“Of
all other perSonal desires. 4

During the heated campaign of 1892
Hill stepped into the breach and the
battle was won. ’

Now, while the President is being as-
sailed'on all sides. Hill again comes to
iihe front and electrifies the people with
an able defence of Cleveland and his
financial policy. He has sent the gold
bugs of Wall street into a state of panic
by his plea for bi-metallism. _ ' .

The Endless Chain Aga. n.

It is understood, we are told, thafltthe
parties who are to lend their gold to
the government, taking 4 ~per cent.
bonds in return, have agreed not to
draw out the coin again, as‘has been

 

 

our securities. Of course that is .a
very satisfactory arrangement, but will
it avail anything ? Suppose
stands by his bargain ; what is to pre-
vent Brown from taking out the gold
which Jones heroically resigns? And
suppose that Smith, .who has entered
into the same compact, has a wicked

is to hold Robinson while Smith
another way ? '~

A modest little item of news in the
New York Sun of Saturday runs
efi'ect:

looks

 

in determining the gold puzzle. ' It Was

done heretofore by the purchaSers of V

J ones;

partner of the name of Robinson;j,w1m,

to this “

“Russell Sage took a hand yesterday! '

of the practical sort. He Withdraw
$550,000 in gold coin from the sub~

cantile Trust Company’s vaults. 7 He
will keep it there until he determinrs
what to do with it again. Mr. Sage is
always supposed to have his weather
eye-open.” '

The fact- is that Congress, by its re——
fusal to give the country any legislation
in the premises, has left our gold re—
serve exposed to the same old condi—
tions that have proved so disastrous in
the past. The endless chain is still in
operation and, no matter how loyally
the Morgans and the Rothschilds may
keep faith, the gold can, and in all
human probability will, be drawn out

equal certainty, find its way back to
the cofiers of those very frugal and far-
seeing financiers. Bargains of the kind
we are considering look mighty pretty
on paper, but in times like these they
cut precious little ice.

An insidious Vice.

The St. Louis Globe~Democrat em-
phasises the fact that the all too prev
alent vice of gambling is far more
dangerous to business integrity than
drunkenness. It quotes an experienced
business man as saying :

“Gambling is the skulking, poisonous
foe to business integrity. You can see
the signs of drunkenness and guard
against being damaged by a drinking
partner or employee, but more often
than not, you know nothing of the
gambler’s downward progress until your
losses tell the tale, I have seldom seen
a casein which the habit of gambling
did not have the companion habit of
lying. The lying gets worse as the
gambling becomes confirmed. Your
gambling associate comes along with
such a cheerful mask of falsehood that
you are indignant when somebody inti-
mates that he is treading the dangerous
path of dalliance with cards or horses.

“Some years ago I had a little experi-
ence which I’ve no doubt many mer-
chants can duplicate. I was a managing
partner in a branch Of one of the most
extensive houses in St. Louis. We had
a salesman whom we valued highly.
It came to our knowledge that he was
falling in love with poker. I said that
he must be warned. The other partner
thought he wasall right, but consented
to the warning. In a few months the
man collected a bill and lost the money
at poker. I then insisted on reporting
a discharge to the main firm, but my
partner stuck to his faith in the man’s
promises. Finally we compromised by
retaining the delinquent on condition
that my partner notify the firm that he
would be personally responsible for"

occurrence.

be paid directly to our headquarters.
Before six months had passed the

$1,500, and lost every dollar.

My partner took the money out of
his pocket and reimbursed the firm. It
is not necessary to tell anybody who
knows gamblers, that he never received
a cent from the man he had befriended.

The preacher and the law-maker may
grade other vices as more heinous, but
the merchant and the banker, who
know what is good for them, are more
afraid of gambling than of anything
lese.”

Fish in the Sound. .

Sooner or later there will scarely be
any fish in the Sound unless something
is done to prevent the detruction of
them. A gradual diminution of salt
water food fish is reported all along
the coast. This destruction is caused
in most cases by willful violation of
game laws. The fish phosphate fac-
tories for instance, cause the disappear-
ance of immense quantities of bluefisb,
bass and scoup. The gill nets at the
entrance to harbors and bays have al-
most exterminated the striped bass,
which once was very plentiful, while
early "spring pound nets are set for
alewives, fiatfish, smelts and fiounders,
and these are caught by the ton and
spread upon the ground as fertilizer.
The most obstructive nets probably are
the pounds, since they are made of
fine meshed netting and cover an im-
mense area. In some instances these
nets are 4,000 feet in length and natur-
‘lly catch immense quantities of cun-
ners, killies. butterfish, white perch
and young try of the blackfish and sea
bass which frequent our waters.—

it: Shares the Same Fate, as It liasiRee-n .

Sent to the Calendar -— Higgins
Speaks on Finance—Routine Pro-
ccedlugs of the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—-The senate be-
gan its 11 o’clock sessions today rendered
necessary by the pressing demands of the
appropriation bills. Only ten senators
were present when the session opened, but
the galleries were well filled with delegates

'50 the Woman’s National association in

session here.

Mr. Hill (N. Y.) was one of the earliest
comers. Mr. Jones (Ark), in charge of
the silver bill, which still held its advan—
tags as the unfinished business, circulated
among his associates. ,

Mr. Platt (Rep., Conn), Mr. Higgins
(Rep, Del.) and other Republican senators
were evidently prepared to carry forward
the opposition to the silver bill, and Mr.
Higgins secured the floor for a speech, but
Mr. Jones soon came forward with an im-
portant announcement.

"The friends of the regular order, the
silver bill,” said he, “have no wish to risk
the danger of an extra session of congress.
They so stated at the outset of the dis-
cussion. Events have shown that this
danger might be incurred, and that the
great appropriation bills might be put in
jeopardy. For that reason the friends of
the silver bill have authorized me to say
that it will not be further pressed at the
present session of congress. ”

Senator Elect Carter (Mon.) appeared
on the floor during the preliminaries and
was warmly congratulated by the senators.

The presiding officer presented the Wol-
cott silver resolution, coming over from
last night, declaratory in favor of silver
coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, but stating
that it was inexpedient at this late day in
the session to take up the silver bill.

Mr. Manderson offered an amendment to
the Wolcott resolution as follows: “Pro-
vided that efforts should be pressed by the
United States to induce international bi-
metallism, and any legislation for free
coinage of silver should provide for the
maintenance of the parity between both
metals to which the faith of this country
has been repeatedly pledged. ”

‘ Mr. Chandler's Remarks.

Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) addressed
the senate on the Wolcott resolution. The
speech was brief, but was looked upon as
significant and was followed with inter-
est, owing to the prominent part Mr.
Chandler has taken in shaping the course
of the Republican side of the chamber. He
said: “In deference to the prevailing opin-
ion Of New England and because it may
be unwise to open our own mints to the
unlimited coinage of silver Without con-
current action upon the part of other great
nations, I shall vote against the pending
resolution. But I very much regret that
I cannot also now vote in favor of some
aflirmative measure in the direction of bi-
metallism, to promote which the Republic-
an party is .pledgcd by the promises of
its national Convention. in 1892, which as
yet nothing has been done to redeem. Bi-
metallism, as I understand it, is the use
of gold and silver as money metals, each
equally entitled to coinage as money in
the mints of the bimetallic nations.”

Mr. Gall sought to take up the Indian
appropriation bill, but it was cut off by
the Objection of Mr. Butler (S. C.), in
charge of the pooling bill.

A bill was passed granting the railroad
companies additional powers ' to secure
rights of way, etc., in the Indian Tcrirtory.

Higgins on “'olcott’s Resolution.

Mr. Higgins then addressed the senate
on the Wolcott resolution. He urged that
it was meaningless and could effect noth-
ing. It would not receive executive ap-
proval even if it went through congress.
Mr. Higgins declared that his side of the
chamber were not for gold monometallism
or for silver monomctallism, but for a.
judicious use of both metals. His speech
then took a. wide range as to the course of
the country and thc parties on finance. 'He
said the repeal of the Sherman law was
notice to the world that the United States
would no longer be the patient ass to bear
the burden of silver.

At 12 o’clock the hour of unfinished
business arrived, and a. sharp controversy
arose as to the precedence of various bills.

The Wolcott resolution, under the rule,
Went to the calendar.

Mr. Gorman appealed to senators to stop
the fruitless discussion on the pending
Wolcott resolution and to take up the ap-
propriation bills, which were demanding
attention, if it was hoped to pass them.
He moved to take up the Indian appropri-
ation bill.

Mr. Butler, in charge of the pooling bill,
objected and demanded a. roll call. The
motion prevailed—yous, 55; hays, 12.

The effect of the vote was to displace
the silver bill as the unfinished business
and to send it back tc‘he calendar. The
vote against the Indian appropriation bill
was not a test of strength of the pooling
bill, as many friends of that measure vot-
ed to consider the Indian bill.

The negative vote was: Blanchard, But-
ler, Camden, Cameron, Faulkner, Hun-
ton, J ones of Arkansas. Lindsay, Mills,
Mitchell of' Wisconsin. Quay, Wolcott; to—
tal, 12.

Senator Higgins Continues.

The Indian appropriation bill being tak-
en up. Mr. Higgins continued his inter-
rupted Speech on the finances.

“As long as our mints a‘re absolutely
closed to the coinagepf silver bullion we
shall be fast approaching a single gold
standard, if we have not already reached
it. Gold monometallism is our destiny if
some affirmative action in anather direc-
tion is not soon taken. Against the adop-
tion‘for America of the single gold stand-
ard it is my duty to speak and act in ac-
cordance with the pledges of my party and
with the interests of the great mass of the
American people, debtors, producers and
property owners. It may ,,be—it doubtless
is—the pathway of strength and honor for
the national government to pay all its ex-
isting obligations in gold. But that is a
small branch of the pending question. It
is agreed by all writers on political econ-
omy and the question of money that a
diminution in the quantity of the metallic
money causes an appreciation of the re-
mainder and produces falling prices in
commodities. If there are $4,000,000,000
of gold and .4, 000, 000, 000 of silver in ex-
istence, constituting together the world’s
measure of value, and one half of the
quantity is abandoned as a. money metal
and measure value, the other half appreci-
ates in value, and destruction comes to the
values of- all other property. while all the
debts of the world remain unreduced.

In the House. . .
At the opening of the session of the house

today. some time was spent in unraveling

A DELIGHTFUL BASCAL.

Whipple Won People’s Confidence, and
' _ They Paid For It. .

OMAHA, Feb. 21.—Nebraska and Iowa
people were startled today by developments
which indicate that Albert Whipple, the
absconding banker, merchant and army
contractor of Crawford and Hyennis, now
a fugitive from justice, with creditors for
815,000 to $20, 000 left inthe lurch, and AJ-
bert B. Whipple, who was sent to the Fort
Madison prison, Iowa, in December, 1886,
are one and the same man. Whipple was
the agent of the ”O.” at Coin, Ia., at the
time. and, though a young man, soon at-
tracted attention by the rapidity with
which he grasped business propositions and
was slated for an executive position Wi
the company when a gigantic scheme in-
volving the forgery of avast number of the
company’s tickets was traced to him. He
had succeeded in disposing of a large quan-
tity of them when arrested and was sent
to the Iowa penitentiary.

A young woman of Coin who was des-
perately in love with him enlisted the sym-
pathy of Congressman Hepburn and oth-
ers so that they interceded with Governor
Larrabee for his pardon. He went west
when released and vowed never to return.
While in prison Whipple mastered short—
hand and upon his release secured a place
with an army officer and later became a.
clerk to a quartermaster. He was station-
ed as transfer agent of the government at
Rushville and Bordeaux, Wy., and finally
got army contracts at Fort Robinson. He
opened a store at Crawford and one at
Hycnnis and later a bank. One day his
bank at Crawford was entered and robbed.
he claimed, of $3, 000. His stenographer
had been sent .on an errand. and he was
alone at the time. Some one was passing
and heard half smothered cries and found
Whipple locked in the vault, from which
his stenographer soon released him. It
was thought impossible for him to have
locked himself in until Charles Greb. the
banker, investigated and found a fine Wire
leading inside by which Whipple had been
enabled to throw the bolts. One stock-
holder learncd he was about to leave Craw-
ford, went to the bank with a gun and
compelled Whipple to buy his stock, pay-
ing cash therefor. The audacity of Whip-
plc, who could not have obtained a bond,
even as night telegraph operator, if he
applied for it, and who yet became a banker
and merchant and was trusted to the ex-
tent hc was, leads his relatives, who are
among the best people in the west, to, be; -_ ..
have he was insane. ' '
