PINKERTON, Ameti- ean detective, returning from a study of London’s “truly won- operation during the coronation that after all the British police have nothing “on” our own when it comes to real practical eleuth- ing, New Yorkers will incline to indorse this opinion with unwont- ed cordiality et the present mo- ment, in view of the fine work Gone by Commissioner Dougherty’s men in the case of the Jackson murder at thé Hotel Iroquois. M Here was an actual crime as strange as fiction, and presenting }fome complications not found in the stock in trade of up-to-date ‘writers of detective stories. The arrest within less than twenty-four houre after the crime! “waa committed of the bellboy Geidel, the confessed murderer, in- volved photographic identification of finger printe discovered on tho ‘bottle which had contained the chloroform employed by the ai in, and from which hottle the druggist’s name on the Inbel had been} _,ttaftily effaced. Of course the application of the Bertillon eystem in detective work is no novelty, either in fact or fiction. Conan Doyle had Sherlock Holmes working it away back in the first series. , But, as it turns out, the finger-prints on the chloroform bottle were | amot-those of the man who committed the murder, but of the Coroner | who first investigated it. The alew that ran Geidel to earth was unravelled by the police detective, Van Twistern, who found a sec-| ond label under the defaced one, and by means of two letters traced | the bottle to a pharmacy in Newark, N. J., where the druggist had | sold the chloroform to a woman who kept lodgers, and one of these lodgers was the discharged bellboy of the New York City hotel which was the scene of the mysterious crime. Is this more extraordinary than the things which transpire every few pages in the Conan Doyle stories? Perhaps not. But the Doyle'etories, and all other detective tales fabricated from fancy, start where this one ends, with the solution of the problem already in hand, so that the author has only to make his Holmes or Vidocq or Dupin work backward through @ labyrinthine groove carefully cut out for him in advance. For a real and still undeveloped detective story there are at- yotractives possibilitics in that ‘safe-blowing at Ardsley, by Hudson River pirates who made their escape in a ewift and unidentified motor boat. » \ More dramatic and awesome by far is the Beattie murder mys- tery in Virginia, where bloodhounds have been brought on the scene in tho endeavor of the prosecution to ascertain whether it was a highwayman or the husband who killed the hapless young wife in an automobile passing along @ lonely road. “The dogs, taken to the spot where the girl-wife was slain, eniffed about in the road, then lifted up their heads and bayed with- , out moving in their tracks, They refused to take any scent that left the place, and it was as if they cried aloud that the murderer was there, and that it was useless to look further.” Both a motor-boat chase and a bloodhound scent occur in the Sherlock Holmes tale called “Tho Sign of the Four,” if we remom- ber rightly. But how trivial and fantastic such imaginings appear Evening derful” Scotland Yard as seen in! season, expresses his conviction WELL *OLO TOP, How DO You FEEL? CANT You SUcceST SOMETHING ?

INSTITUTIONS VS. MONUMENTS. HE United Italian Societies, and four of the five : Italian daily newspapers published in New York City, are opposing the scheme to erect here a monument to Dante by the sculpior Ettore Ximenes, who did the Verazzano in Battery Park. The opposition is not based on artistic grounds, nor is it primarily due to the fact that scarcely a third of the $30,000 needed for the work has been raised, although the promoters announce that their big bronze will be dedicated some- how, somewhere, in Ociober, The main point, as stated by Editor ~Frugone, of the Evening Bulletin, is that before any more Italian monuments are put up in this town, some schools and hospitals | should be built, and something practical done to uplift the neglected | poor of that nationality. tify by @ Ubereal eppiication of pearl powder.
