A good detective isn’t an orator or a conversational con man, and he isn’t expected to be. The less a sleuth does in the way of shedding words the hotter he is when it comes to doing business. About half the men in the depart- ment now think they are night editions of Chauncey De- pew, with a scare headline clear across the top of the first page. “It's a funny thing the way we develop our detectives, We take 7 raw young slob off a street-car or out of a slaughter-honse and put him on the police force.

Silva, taking a survey of her own, tells of 500 women of her acquaintance who gam- ble, some of them pawning their jewels to pay their poker debts. She'knows of one saloon in St. Louis where perhaps 1,000 women are served with intoxicat- ; ing drinks between 11 A. M. and 12.30 P. M., the shop- _ ping hours. ; Are not these Gilray pictures of fashionable vice? ‘We almost stand with the candle snuffer at the table and see the cards and the wine cup and the leering eyes. But down in Louisville we hear Gen. Castleman say- ing: “I never knew a young lady to do any of these things so recklessly charged. I don’t belleve it." And in Boston Julia Ward Howe is saying: “These sweeping statements give a false impression. If the Rev. Mr. Richardson would have said there are fome women high in society who smoke, drink or gam- Die he might have been near right, but as it is it is simply an exaggeration beyond discussion. I have never heard of a young woman in society intoxicated. I do Delieve that women have become fascinated with the gambling spirit.” Q And these opiniong corroborate the view of most Observers. So far from relaxing restraint in the matter of drinking and gambling women seem rather to have tightened it. “You must have tried buck against the janitor.’ to “That commercial traveller of yours is a man of most abandoned charac-| % ter.” “Sort of base drummer, eh? “What's the matter, Jimsby?

The late George W. Williams, the Charleston banker, ‘one of the South’s greatest business men, began his mer- eantile career with a capital of $10 and a position as ¢lerk in a country store at eighteen. At twenty he was taken into partnership. His business beginnings show an interesting parallel with those of John Daniell, the Broadway merchant, who died last spring and who was born only a year after Williams in 1821. Daniell was an errand boy in a Ohatham Square store at sixteen, and at twenty-two he was superintendent of a Broadway etore that was Stewart's rival for many years. The point is that each of these great merchants, starting with practically no means, was well established in bus!- ness by the time he was twenty-one. Is such progress possible now to youths beginning in equally humble cir- cumstances? ~ It was the regular thing for the old-time merchant to begin with nothing and rise to eminence by force of _ circumstances and his indomitable perseverance. This evolution was seen in Russell Sage, the grocery store clerk; in Wanamaker; in Henry Siegel, the clothing store clerk at $8.50 a week; in Hugh O'Neill, notion store _ clerk at seventeen and worth $8,000,000 at fifty; in J. S. Morgan, J. P. Morgan's father, dry-goods store clerk and founder of a Boston banking-house; in Andrew Car- neglo, cotton factory bobbin boy at $1.25 a week. They tolled on contentedly for little, avalle* themselves of the first opportunity to better their condition and rose to partnership or proprietorship. Willlams himself was @ perfect example of this evolution. In his long bust- ness career he divided $21,000,000 in profits with his partners and left a fortune of $3,000,000 for his heirs, But can a clerk in a retail store nowadays look for- ‘ward to any such future? Ninety-nine out of a hundred putting the question to themselves would answer it in the negative. What chance in a small business with the big stores monopolizing the retail trade? But the hun- - dredth, endowed with more energy. greater self-confi- dence and a little more talent, answers it in the affirma- tive by appearing a few years later at the head of a house of his own in the wholesale district or on thej| edge of the “shopping” centre, Brouiway, or into the silk importing district, or into the cloak: manufacturing region, or toward the margin of the Fifth avenue line of shops. Some of them have crossed the Bowery for their new environment, others have co:ue down from far uptown. It is an interesting thing for a buyer recalling the New York stores of fifteen or twenty years ago to learn the history and antecedents of some of the stores that now invite his trade. Not a few of these firms had their origin in small clerkships; some may have been founded on $10 bills cautiously invested @ decade or more ago in small ventures in east side base- ments.

The cop is put in the way, of advancement, and it’s a guaranteed special to be played to win only that he'll make a request to get into the Central Office. “His education has been confined to the narrowest limits, and if he had to think quick to save his life he'd die twice. He is sent out on a case and works along the lines laid down for him by some old-timer, never admit anything to anybody about anything and make a round If it becomes absolutely necessary to make a pinch he goes out and sloughs some discred- {ted ercok who should have been retired on a pension long before. “he average detective never gets back anything that is stolen unless he finds it in a pawnshop. When it somes to a murder mystery, a knock-kneed reporter with eyeglasses and the cigarette habit can make him look like a plate of ice-cream at a mixed-ale party. “The Brooklyn Bureau was the limit, and the Hmit was the sky. Cap. Reynolds was one of these here gosh darn sleuths, b’gee. He was a reg’lar constable, by heck, and on Old Settlers’ Day he always wore his badge pinned to the outside of his coat so everybody would, know who he was. He had a lot of men on his staff who think San Francisco is immediately to the rear of Weehawken and kiss their families good-by when they. go over to New York—as they call it in Brooklyn, The combined Brooklyn Detective Bureau, as it stands now, couldn't catch afire if it was thrown in a furnace,” 3 “Do you think the new head of the Detective Bureau a good man?” asked The Cigar-Store Man, “Well,” replied The Man Higher Up, “he has been associating with newspaper reporters around the Crim- inal Courts Building for a good many years, and if he don’t know all about everything past, present and ta come he hasn’t been a good listener.” Re i THE CHINESE ART OF WAR. Oe A novel method of testing new weapons of warfare is now in vogue in China, A large cannon of the latest type was recently imported from Europe, and when it was landed on ‘the coast of Hainan the miiitary mandarins of the dis- trict first inspected it closely, and then resolved to test It. They therefore procured a boat, which they anchored some distance from the land, and then they loaded the can- non and fired @ shot at it. ‘To thelr surprise, the shot did not hit the boat, but fell short in the water, They de- termined to try again, but did not want to miss @ second time, and so they brought the boat to the very spot where the first shot had fallen and anchored it there, ‘Then they fired, and to their unbounded joy, the shot went clean through the vessel. Evidently tt never occurred to them that they could have attained the same end oy aiming more carefully and slightly changing the positton of the cannon, or, if It did occur to them, they thought that it wes easier to move the boat than to so aim with the heavy cannon that they would be absolutely certain of not losing! & second shot, TRUNDLE BE { .
