According to the Crowley News a drummer named
L. Hirsch and a loeal dude named Edmond Guidry
followed two married ladies on the streets of that
city and made insulting proposals to them. The
ladies reported the affair to their husbands “who at
once took steps to have the insulters put where they
would not repeat the offense.’’ What did these braye,
noble husbands do? Why, they had. Hirsch and
Guidry arrested, and the two scoundrels were fined

theirpublicinterestsshould each and all forswear them-
selves and betray their trust is monstrous. In whom
may the people repose confidence? It weakens our
faith in humanity—it does violence to the heart of
the country. It adds new advocates to the unfortun-
ate and baseless theory that “every man has his pree."
These men are far worse than common thugs and
highway robbers. The vulgar thief and robber be-
trays no trust and Violates no confidence. These men
have. They have been robbing the people under an
oath bound organization the penalty for divulging
whose secrets was death.
The oath taken by each of these \ illains. who had
previously sworn to protect the interests of the peo-
ple. was as follows:
“I do solemnly swear, before the Almighty God,
that in associating myself and becoming a member
of this combination I will vote and act with the com-
bination whenever and wherever 1 may be ordered to
do so.
“And I further solemnly swear that I will not at apy
place or time, reveal the fact that there is a combina-
tion, and that I will not communicate to any person
or persons anything that may take place at any meet-
ing of the combination.
“And I do solemnly agree that in case I should
reveal the fact that any person in this combi baton has
received monev, I hereby permit and authorize other
members of this combination to take the forfeit of my
life in such manner as they may deem proper, and that
mv throat may be cut, my tongue torn out and my
body cast into the Mississippi.
“And all of this I do solemnly swefir, so help me
God.”
Isn’t it horrible? And the worst of it is that we
know that this villainous work has been going on for
several years, and has only lately been discovered.
How are we to suppose that similar combinations
of desperadoes are not at the heads of other city,
state and federal affairs? In whom may we confide,
how know an honest man ?

My brother Bob and I are twin*,
end, both having fallen In love, not
with the same girl, but with the detec-
tive service from reading the ro-
mances of GaborlaU’and Conan Doyle,
we entered It at the same time and
for awhile worked In the same city.
This could not very well continue for-,
ever, and we at last drifted apart, 1 or
awhile we corresponded, theu tinully
lost track of each other.
Meanwhile for me the romance hud
gone out of the detective service, and
it had become Vhc detective business,
unvarnished, at which I struggled to
keep the wolf from the door for my-
self and family. I made very little
money and tired of my duties. How-
ever, there was no help for me. I
knew no other calling and kept on
hunting criminals.
One day 1 was sauntering along
Washington street, Chicago, when a
man passed me and whispered in my
eur, “C. & G.'s ill ten infinites.” then
passed oil and was lost in the crowd.
Who lie was, what he meant or
how he came to know me was a mys-
tery. My truinlng as a detective at
once assured uie that I might be on
the track of u crime. ”C. & G.’s In ten
minutes.” I have It! Tbo letters were
the initials of a large restaurant and
saloon near by. I kept right on to
the place, entered It and looked about
for iny man. He soou entered, passed
me without a glance and went to u
private dining room, to which 1 fol-
lowed him. The door was scarcely
closed when he said to me:
“It's some time since we met. The
last I saw of you you were being led
off by a cop with a pair of bracelets
on your wrists. So was I.”
“Memories are not nlwuys pleusunt.
Better come to the point at once.”
“Bight you are. Simmons and 1
(you know Simmons; he was with us
on the o, her Job) was discharged last
week. Well, we’re going to crack a

Join us, we’ll share the plunder In

I consented, and he unfolded a plan
to rob the —th National.

That idea of Congressman Livingston of Georgia
seems to strike us as the proper treatment of the trusts.
He suggests .that whenever the trusts kill out compe-

practical than adopting a constitutional amendment,
which it is doubtful if we could do.

Well, property has just about doubled in value in

The Nashville American calls attention to the fact
that less than two years ago the American army in the
Philippines numbered 70,000. The first of this year
it was reduced to about 32,000, and now it is t& be re-
duced to 18,000. This reduction may be warranted;
the authorities evidently think so, else they would not
make it. The war lias been over for some time, but
occasional outbreaks in certain sections are possible,
and the presence of a considerable body of troops will
have a good moral effect in strengthening the civil gov-
ernment until it is well established and the people are
accustomed to their new freedom. The reduction
of the forces in the Philippines from 70,000 to 18,-
000 in less than two years shows how erroneous were
the predictions of those timid souls who declared that
a standing army of 50,000 would always be required
in those islands. Many other false predictions have
emanated from the same source, and time will show
the absurdity of others.—Austin Statesman.
But the constant knocker never tires. Prove him
wrong about one thing and he has another knock
ready. Try as you may you can’t convince him that
fallen me. 1 was too old a bird to
give away my secret for nothing. I
went to the president of the —th Na-
tional and told him that I knew of a
serious misfortune al*>ut to happen to
him and that I would tell the secret
for $10,000. He questioned me to get
a clew without paying for It, but 1
sealed my mouth, and he tinully con-
tracted to pay me what 1 asked.
Of course on the night we were to
rob the bank I had policemen stationed
ut convenient places, who at the
proper time swooped down upon us
and captured us red handed and just
us the burglars were about to get
away with $75,000 In bills, besides a
large number of government bonds.
I was led away to Jail with a pair of
handcuffs on my wrists, which were
taken off us soou as I was out of
sight of my eolaborers. Meanwhll^
the man who had met me on the
street was standing beside me watting
for a Black Murla.
“There’s no way in the world this
could have leaked out,” he muttered,
“except through you. Now, 1 believe
you gave us away at Buffalo. You’ll
pay for this.”

brother. Had Bob gone to the bad?
My own brother, boni at the same
time, grown up with me, a burglar, a
Jailbird—It was sickening!
As soon as.I could get away I start-
ed for Buffalo. There I visited the
chief of police, who helped me to In-
formation about the bank robberies
that had occurred In that city, hut
there was no record of any one of my
name—Wharton—being connected with
any of them. One day a police cap-
tain, on seeing me, stared at me a
moment, then asked:
“How did you get out?"
I soon learned that be mistook me
for a man who bad been convicted of
bank robbery a year before and sen-
tenced to the penitentiary for five
years. I went to the prisou and there
found my brother Bob. As soon as he
saw me he threw himself on my neck,
exclaiming: j,
“Oh, Tom, this comes of reading
Gatoriau and Conan Doyle!”
“Explain, Bob.”

posed to rob a bank and convinced
them that I was one of their kind. Be-
fore I could explain bow I Intended to

Tampered with Jail Lock.
John Phillips, who Is known about
town as a gambler, was arrested last
night by Sheriff John Robertson for
drunkenness and locked up in one of
the cells in the county jail. Some
time during the night Phillips tried
to break jail and endeavored to pick
the lock. He was not successful, how-
ever, and this morning when the Jail-
er went to his cell he found the lock so
badly tampered with that it refused
to yield to the key. It was necessary
to break the lock before the pris-
oner could be taken from the cell.

Houston Chronicle.
Charles Jones, one time a valet to
Millionaire Rice, is supposed to have
left Houston last, night for parts un-
known. A call on his relatives, with
whom he has been visiting while in
the city, disclosed the fact that he was
contemplating a pilgrimage yesterday,
but as to whether or not he 'would
leave last evening was a question they
declined to answer, as well as one
relative to his probable destination.
This morning Jones is gone. No one
can locate him and his relatives re-
fuse absolutely to say a word.
The famous valet has been living
with his cousins, who reside on Mc-
Ilheney between Jackson and Chene-
vert streets. He was not at the house
yesterday, afternoon and those who re-
sponded to the door bell had nothing
to Bay concerning where he had gone.
