DDIITCTIVES DETECTED. in

Chicago Tribune.
B. Murdocx, or Murtha, wbo is said to ti
be a Pinkerton detective, together with a
i eorge B. Armstrong, Albert Jennings li
and Paul Ward, aged respectively 28, 25, T
19 aad 28 years, were arrested by Mr. of
IMooney of Mooney & Boland's detective p
agency and confined at the armory. The a
charges against them are for conspiracy a
and larceny, Murdock also being charg- e
edWith carrying concealed weapons.
The arrest and circeumstances leading
ing thereto are given as related by Mr. tc
iMooney in an interview at his office. w
About a week ago a young man made w
application to the janitor of the Railway
Age building, situated on Adams street. v
opposite the post-office, for an office in
the building. There were none vacant p
The applicant, who was Murdoek,the de..
t etive, was especially desirous of secur
iug an apartment in the building. He t
renewed his request from day to day, d
offered to pay liberally for the accommo
dation, and was so persistent that the n
janitor became suspicdou. At length
Murdock admitted that he simply desir
ed to gain admittance to the offices of
the Western Trunk association, which e
occupy the entire fifth floor. He mid he b
a wished to have unknown access to the p
books of the concern, and offered the it
nitor $50 if he would aid him. The ti
tor related the circumstane to Mr. I
a Vining, the agent of toe concern. The c
n agent conferred with Mr. Mooney and
retained h services. The janitor was a
instructedto admit Murdock to the room. p
Wednesday right was agreed upon by
Murdok and the janitor : a the time for
r undertaking the enterprise, but it was b
* abandoned. Again, lat night, the de- a
teetives lay In wait. This time they ware a

dock and the three companions arrived. b
They took three letter books and I
twoboob of meorand t had inten- m
tionally been left outof the safe. Gath- a
ergi the tooks in their arms theyleft g
the office, passed down stairs past the
room occupied by Mr. Mooney and his I
ttand entered a saun on tbe t
rdfloor exactly under the one in v
which the detectives had been coacealed. a
The gas was w itted in the room now ta- t

Murdock. A

"You may well say so, and in support
of that opinion you can quote me. That

hold of in an experience of nlgh on to

The creature in question was rasping
with its beak one of the rods in its cae or
in a way that indicated unusunal robust
ness, and was muttering, in depraved, r
catarrhal tones, something about "plug p'
tobaccer."
'-One of the likelihet?" the reporter
repeated, with the stress on the first
word.
"Yes," said Capt. Sparks; "I always YO
make an exception in favor of Don Cri- we

about him that entitled him to emin- '

"Will you have your hair cut medium tic
or pretty short?" asked the barbe:. I
"Pretty short," answered the custom- of
er. The barber then took up a nickle- im
plated instrument and ran it up the an
beck of the customer's head with aclick- po
ing sound. "This isa'clipper,' "he said.
"I can shingle a man's head with this
-cut the hair down close to the scalp,
s you know-in three minutes. Before
we had this tool I've been an hour do
ing the same job. LIst year we had the
'ontract for shearing the American Dis- th
trict telegraph boys. The man who did ca
i the work clipped 150 heads in five hours. ve
SI've cut 80 heads in a day myself with is
only scissors. They were convicts. The of
clippers used to cost $5. Now we get g
- them for 3.50. It takes about fifteen cn
, minutes to cut hair as I'm cutting yours in
and about the same length of time to br
shave an ordinary face and dress the m
a hair. Journeymen barbars own their a
own razors, but few of them know how
e to keep razors in order. They send th
o them to the grinder's abo::t once a week. th
The boss furnishes everything but the an
e raors. Barbers are paid $6to$13 a week. at
1- A week is 6 days and half a day Sunday. e
There is also one day off every other a I
week. In some of the down town shops a
it barbers are given a commission on the e
e work they can do. Uually it is 50 cents a
ou of otevery dellar they take at the chair t
and 10 to 20 per oent. on the sales of c;,
brhes, sp, etc. There are about 3,- d,
e 000 barber shops in New York and there m
must be 10,000 be. Very few of the of
Sshops have more than ten workmen and
not many have that number. There are
S15 or 20 ageneis in New York exclusive

A frequent charge against members of
the bar, made indeed facetiously in moseet th
cases, is that of insincerity and lack of de
veracity. If the charge is a valid one it u
an
is net a result of negligence on the part of
Sof thelaw-,aakeis in not providing safe- wl
guards for the honesty of those of who to
a are to practice law. Since an early day
e in the history of Maeaachusetts there ma
o bar always been a prescribed oath which m
e members of the bar are required to sub- b
r scribe, and to this comparatively recent in
v legislation has added a requirement that th
i those who are admitted to practice in a
*. the courts must subscribe the oaths to of
e support the Constitution of the United
States and of this Commonwealth. The
attorney's oath of office is in all con
eience strict enough, and if there is such
ra thing as a dishonest lawyer he must be 0
a perjurer as well. Below is given the u

Prior to 1701, as the profesmon of the
law had nqt been loosed upon in the
colonies as very respetable. parties had
gen y pleaded their own causs and
Sthere xrfew legal regulations for
members of the bar. In the Plymouth  
colony in 1681 it was enacted that "these a
shall sot be allowed above 6 shillings b
cost lor any attorney or attorneyes to
any one action-and where there shall -
happen to be but one day in any one ac
of tion, then te have 2 shillings and six- a
a n onely allowed him for cost there- I
In 1671 an eort was made to secure
'e honest practtionersofthe law without the
m Ianctionot an oath, the General Court de a
of daring, "Liberty is granted by this ourt .
l to anyp~erson to improve one or two At.
tornies to help him in his Ples; provid
t edthey be pesons ofgood repute, and i
Ssuch as the Cort rhaol ove; and the t

To prve to a suit from get

le aving the other party without cosap

"no pernoa shall Eolntertain more than f

Direct electric lightine of one of the
trains of the District Railway between
Kensington and Putney is stated to be
very successful. The light is not only
superior to that obtained from oil or gas,
but is reported to cost only two-thirds
that of the latter.
Good shellac varnish is made as fol
lows: Take of very pale shellac 5
pounds, mastic 1 ounce, and alcohol 5 or
6 pints, and dissolve in the cold to pre
vent toe evaporation of the alcohol, stir
ring the mixture meanwhile. This is a
good varnish for furniture, and it is much
employed in France by c.iinet-makers.
A cinerary urn has been discovertd on
the farm of Cuttyhill Loringide, Aber
deenshire Scotland. The shape of the
urn is globular, 15 inches in diameter
and 11 arches in depth. It was formed
of a brownish sort of clay. The bones
which filleJ the receutacle crumbled in

If the expressad belief of some Cornish
miners regarding the probable develop
ment of the tin mine of C'ajalco, in the
Temiscal Range, California, turns out to
be verified later on, it will prove of vast
importance. They are of opinion that
the vein struck will increase in richnem
as it increases in depth. Lately the
mine assayed 13.1 per cent. from the ore,
of purity of 0.96.
Herr C. Schneider, of Dresden, lhas in
vented a dry galvanic battery. It con

copper and the inner or smaller one of
amalgamated zinc. Both cylinders are
open at each end, and the space between
them is filled in with a mixture of plas
ter of Paris and a saturated solution of
chloride of zinc containing 7 per cent.
Sof chloride of sodium.
Iron sulphate is a good manure for
a certain kinds of crops. A plot of land to
which the sulphate had been applied by
Mr. A. B. Griflths of the Chemienl Soci
ety, London yielded 56 bushels of beans.
d A plot similar in other respects which
II ha, not been manured gave only 36
bushels. The asL of the plants from
t first plot contained more iron and phos
- phoric acid than those from the second

I Several methods of treating vines af

Io vapors ofmlphr and asTluric add.
g This has been tried, but on fatoe limit
- ed a scale to speak in any definite terms
i of its efcacy. The vines so aot seem to
I bare been very perceptibly bneited by
t- the treatment ofthe earth, because the
u vapors of sulphuric acid do not penetrate

o besides, it is found that they evaporate

he made himself troublesome when the

c- Monday (wash-day) by pulling at them
t- and annoying her by his playful pranks.
SFinally, to save herself from Irther an
r noyance, every Monday morning the
Sgdrl would tie the dog up, releasing him
e- after all the work was done. He resent
ed being tied up very much, but stood it
a for several weeks. one Monday morn

the dog could not be ound. As sog as
the washing was out of the way be ap
