CIRCULATION INVESTIGATION. tn tv timely editorial the Item last evening calls-attention to the circula Mon ' claims of the three Richmond newspapers, and suggests that Inas much'asqtbo totals claimed are more tr less conflicting, it would be wise to have the merchants of the city inves tlgate them at the expense of the pa pers. It seems to us that the Item's proposition is fair to all "concerned, and the Palladium Is perfectly willing to bear Its share of the expense of such a canvass providing the Item and tho Sun-Telegram are also Included In me unaertaKing. Ana tnere is no doubt but that the paper that would refuse so reasonable a proposition is thn nnn trmf 1fl' nfrnlrt nf Vi n vHn rr tta real circulation known. The Palladium Is not ,nf raid of having its circulation known; on the contrary it prints a weekly sworn statement believing that its advertisers have a right to know Just what they are spending their money for. We want them to feel that they are buying a known quantity when they purchase space In our columns. Below we print the proposition submitted by the Item and which we accept under the conditions we have stated above. "The Item therefore makes the following proposition to the two other Richmond dallies, and to the ruer chants of Richmond: Have a committee of three to five oMhe local advertisers appointed eith er by the merchants or by the newspa pers, and let this, committee hire the services; of : a disinterested circulation accountant, the expense of whom will he shared equally by the three papers This committee with this accountant to make -an investigation of the circu latlon of the three daily papers of Richmond, and in so doing they are to be given free acces3 to the press rooms, the counting rooms, the mall ing department, the mailing lists, the postoffice receipts and weights, the bills of lading of amount of paper bought and used, the route books of any and all carrier boys, either in Richmond or any adjoining towns, the cash books, ledgers and other books that will assist or may be necessary In showing how much of the circula tion is paid for and how much Is "floating," and any and all other books receipts and other documents of any character necessary to a thorough and searching investigation.. All the fig ures obtained from tho private hooks of any concern to be kept private, on ly insofar as they may appear in tho general result of tho investigation The result of this investigation 6hall be published on the first page of each of the daily papers of the city, free of charge. The statement of the result shall be In such form that will specify not only the amount of circulation, but the kind "paid," "total copies print ed, etc., and the distribution of this circulation by towns, rural routes, etc Now, gentlemen, if you are not afraid to show your hand, If you really have real circulation, step right up and let s be honest with one another, and the advertising public which pat ronlzes us. A STEP IN ADVANCE. Postmaster Spekehhier in creating a board of letter carriers to whom matters relative to the service in gen eral la to be refeir.-ed and passed upon before any definite action Is taken, is jetting an example that might be Emulated In. many other business en terprlses, private and governmental It stands to reason that the men who actually carry Out the details of any part of a business system know where the flaws cxslt. if In fact there are any, and they understand .how the service may t be bettered. As rule, - however, the men at the head of 'a "system rarely entrust affairs to the men who actually do the work

and as a result Innovations are made and changes are ordered which,

though they may not be necessary or advantageous, must be carried out be cause they are ordered. Postmaster Spekenhier believes In entrusting the consideration of proposed changes to the men are most directly concerned. They, not only.are responsible for the carrying out of orders but In a large degree are responsible for the orders themselves. More .than a passing Interest In the development of the service naturally will result when the men themselves have a hand In the planning and the Richmond postmas ter is to be commended for his action which is a step In advance. NEED FOR HUMANE SOCIETY. The appeal made through the col umns of the Palladium yesterday, In behalf of mistreated horses should be the inspiration for the good people of Richmond to see to it that the Humane Society, already in existence, shall be rejuvenated and made a means whereby the dumb animals In the city end vicinity are given the consideration which is due them. There are many persons who really do not know what constitutes the mistreatment of a horse. They see these beasts of burden driven up to a curb and hitched, to remain all day n one place without food, water or shelter from the hot rays of the sun, and yet they neglect to take a step which may relieve the animal. What Richmond needs is a humane officer who can spend much of his time lookng after such cases as this and oth ers that are worse. A few prosecutions and convictions will open the eyes of people in general and horse owners in particular and the result will be that the horse is given the good treatment he richly deserves. Few horse owners mistreat their animals; some of them do so unwittingly and then there are a very few others who are actually malicious In their cruelty. There Is work in Richmond for a humane society that is active and there should be something done to bring about this activity. After all, the publisher who is a cir culation "liar," is doing business under false pretenses and deserves no more consideration than a "time serv er ' in tne penitentiary. I " MARKING OF MONEY." It la Done With m Fin and Not With a Pen, mm Supposed. "now is money marked?" repeated a headquarters detective to a reporter's query. "Well, It is not marked in the manner that the public thinks It is. "The average person no doubt be lieves that money is marked by private marks plaeedoa the bills with pen and Ink. Perhaps some employers thus mark the bills they place in the cash drawer which is being robbed by a dishonest clerk. Of course 'marked money of this kind is good evidence in court on the trial of a man upon whom it has been found, but a check mark in ink, unless very expertly put on, might, with the aid of a good lawyer for the accused, be shown to have been perhaps accidental, and thus would the ever sought reasonable doubt of the aecuired's participation in the rob bery be raised. "There are several different ways of marking money by police experts to the end that they may establish Its positive identity of having previously been in their hands before the thief extracted it. The way I personally em ploy, and which Is perhaps the safest to secure certainty and conviction, is the 'pin prick method." "Let us take the familiar silver cer tificate of the five dollar denom mauon ror an illustration; one that has been somewhat worn Is better than a new note from the treasury. In the center is the bead of an Indian chief in full regalia of feather and trappings, presenting a full face view. We now take this pin and make two puuetures right through the bill and directly through the pupils of the eyes so. I band you the bill. and, even though you saw me make tho punctures, they are not visible at a casual and even critical glance. I now raise it to the light, and you can see the two tiny holes made by the pin point as distinctly as windows in a building. I then apply the pin point very neatly at the twist in the neck of the large figure 5 at the two upper extreme ends of the note. You will observe that these diminutive twists do not appear in the necks of the two figures of 5 which are in both ends at the bottom of the note. I then pierce the note at the extreme ends of the scrolls on either side of the word "five. which may be seen in the direct center of the note at Its lower edge. "The marking of the note is now complete. It is exhibited to one or two persons in the secret for the purposes of preliminary examination and iden tlflcation, and then placed In the money drawer, perhaps with several others of the same denomination, all exactly marked alike with the greatest care The thief may be on the lookout for marked bills, usually ink marks, but he Is a slick one who will get on to the Invisible but surely present pin pricks You see, this class of thieving does not admit of a crucial examination of the money before taking; it Is usually done very quickly by palming the bills. placing them In some preliminary place of safety, to be later removed." Then we count on detection with the bills on the person before the thief has a chance to exchange or to spend them. "And the pin pricks remain? Indeed they do. The money is afterward care fully placed In envelopes and Is not promiscuously handled. When they are exhibited In court and their preliminary preparation explained under oath conviction Is practically certain." Washington Star. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

BLOODY OUTBREAKS

OCCUR IN ODESSA Anti-Jewish Feeling in Russia Cannot Be Kept Down by Peaceful Means. MANY KILLED OR WOUNDED PROPOSITION TO CREATE AN AD VISORY COUNCIL TO ASSIST THE EMPEROR REGARDED AS MOVE TOWARD DICTATORSHIP. Publishers' Press J Odessa, July 24. Anti-Jewish out breaks have commenced here. A num ber of persons have already been killed Or wounded. Cossacks and rowdies are plundering the deserted Jewish houses and shops. On Srednaia street, three Jews were killed and three were wounded In attempting to defend their property while the police looked on. Another bloody conflict is in progress in Stepovai street. The whole city Is in a state of panic. Many of the Inhabitants are fleeing. The Black Hundreds are distributing blood-thirsty proclamations In the streets. St. Petersburg, July 24. The way has been prepared for a military dic tatorship by a proposition now under consideration at Peterhof to create an advisory council to assist the em peror. Premier Btolypin, General Trepoff asd others conferred with the emperor on this subject. On the sur face, the scheme is to form such a council out of the members of the council of the empire and conservatives and liberals like M. Shipoff and Guchkoff, and also possibly, several of the Constitutional Democrat lead ers, with the purpose of reassuring the population of the sincerity of the government's future Intentions. M. Stolypln evidently believes sincerely that the plan is achievable, but there is little hope that either Guchkoff or ahipoff will in any way make them selves responsible for the energetic PREMIER BTOLYPIN. measures of repression, which the em peror's coup d'etat, entails, and it is certain that none of the Constitutional Democrats will brave the charge of open treason in giving co-operation to any government measure after the step to which they committed them selves at Viborg. The plan, therefore, which Is fore doomed to failure, seems to be a de liberate plot of the court camarilla to induce the emperor, who shows weak ess and vacillation in the present crisis when eriergy and nerve are imperative, to intrust the direction of affairs to an advisory council, and while nominally, the council would re tain the authority, the camarilla would gradually absorb Its power and ex ercise a virtual dictatorship, as did Count Loris Melioffs committee or public safety during the terrors pre ceding the assassination of Alex ander II. The bulk of the members of the out lawed douma who held a meeeting at Viborg and issued an address to the people, arrived here from Viborg. A popular demonstration was prevented, but the members were not arrested. Domiciliary searches continue in all. quarters of the capital, the prisons are already filling and the old, blind system of attempting to conceal from the people what is happening has been adopted. The censorship of the press has been re-established 'with a vigor unknown since the days of the late Interior Minister Von Plehve, accompanied by the wholesale confiscation of newspapers. No word of the proceedings of the members of parliament at VJborg or of the address adopted has been permitted to be published. At two meetings, one near the Karva Gate and the ether in the Viborgski district, across the Neva, the Cossacks sent to disperse them refused openly to do so and fraternized with the workmen. This is par'tially confirmative of the revolutionists' boast that the troops will not lire again on the people. Carried Out Threat. Sosnowiee, Russian Poland, July 24. -Simultaneously bombs were thrown tnto four stores of the Srnger Sewing Machine company, located here, at Bendzin, at Zawierz and at Czenstochau, wrecking each of the shops and wounding many persons. The bomb throwers were agents of the Polish Socialist party which had made the Singer company an exauple of what ay happen to others for refusing to aontrfbute to the revolutionary cause. Emissaries of the party asked the rep resentatives of the Singer company's Polish branch to pay a certain sum for the benefit of the party. The agent refused to do so, and was in formed that the shops would be de stroyed. ;. la each instance a man ea tared the stores a&d ordered the

women and clerks to leave. Details are still wanting, but it appears that In some Instances the employes refused to leave and the bombs were thrown without any further utter ances.

Members of Dcuma Seized. Viborg, Finland, July 24. During the night the members of the outlawed Russia parliament received word that two of their number had already been arrested, namely Father Koyarkoff, at Voronezh, and a Cossack deputy, M Kharlamorf, at Rostov-on-the-Don. The authorities are also understood to have orders to arrest several Social Demo crats, especially a priest named Afansieff. Both Father Koyarkoff and M. Kharlamoff distinguished themselves by preaching revolution from the rostrum of parliament, the latter being especially bitter in his denunciation of the use of his people in massacreing their Russian brethren. Czar Condemned to Death. St. Petersburg, July 24. Proclamations announcing that the death sentence has been imposed on the emperor, General Trepoff, M. Pobiedonostseff, who was procurator general of the Holy Synod, General Orloff, the 'pacificator' of the Baltic provinces, and others, have been scattered over part of Peterhof. The terrorists are said to have succeeded in nailing copies of the sentence on the doors of General Orloff's and General Trepoff's quarters. Traveling Evangelists. F.
