SIXTEEN NOW EMPLOYED

IF THE NEXT CENSUS SHOWS 25,000 POPULATION, THEN 25 MEN CAN BE ON FORCE VIEWS OF THE CHIEF.

In event the next census shows Richmond to have a population of 23,000, this city will be entitled to nine more patrolmen than are at present on the local police force. The force Is now composed of sixteen policemen, excepting officers. According to law every city is entitled to one patrolman for each 1,000 inhabitants. The last census, taken in 1000, shows Richmond to have a population of 10,000, and even according to that the city would be justified in the employment of three more bluecoats. Views of the Chief. 'But we don't need them," said Superintendent of Police I. A. Gormon. The chief then went on to state that the advisability of adding three more "cops" to the force had been the source of some heated debates between the police commissioners and other city officials for the past few years, but had invariably ended with a continuation of the present number. He declared that it was doubtful if there were any other city in the state where a similar condition of affairs existed relative to the police force. He stated that the Richmond police force bad a record of which it should be proud and at no time had it been deemed necessary to add to its numbers. "However," added the chief, "if the next census shows this city to have a population of 25,000, and I believe it will, the force will probably be increased by two or three policemen, just for appearnces sake, although I do not think it at all necessary." The official census will be taken some time in April, but the result will not be known until next summer.

The Three Twins. One of the largest musical productions to be seen here this season, is that of 'The Three Twins" which comes to the Gennett theater tomorrow evening. The sale of seats is an unusually large one, and the engagement promises to be one of the successes of the year. One of the greatest novelties in a performance which surprises us with a new one at every turn, is the Faceograph. This is an enlarged picture of Miss Gladys Hall who, in order to pose for the effect, is compelled to stand on her

, head with her face in front of a pow

erful lamp.

The Inventor of the Flouring Mill. About the year 70 B. C. Mithridates, kins of Cappadocia, one of the most ingenious and able princes of the time, invented the first mill driven by water. This triumph of his skill and ingenuity he caused to be erected in the immediate vicinity of the royal palace. In the course of time the Cappadocian bakers became celebrated and were in great demand throughout all parts of the world as tkyen known. These mills were usually placed upon boats on the river, being so elevated and contrived as to be easily driven by the water, and the millers were thus enabled to move from place to place, distributing the meal to their custom era,

Lend a Hand. ! It's all right to say "cheer up," but ao something to push it along. Boston Herald.

At the Murray. With plenty of variety the program this week at the New Murray is being well received by the audiences at the popular play house. Stanley and Chambers, the comedy trampoline acrobates, are very popular and receive a hearty applause in all their appearances. Von Hoff, the world's greatest mimic, the comedy sketch, "The Snap Shot" by Mr. and Mrs. Dowling and the motion pictures are three important acts in this week's program, which is closed by the Gypsy Seranaders, about whom some commendable things has been said in other cities and they do not disappoint in any part of their delightful act.

Was I Ever a Chorus Lady? Rose Stahl, who appears at the Gennett tonight, says: , "Was I ever a chorus girl? Never! And I was never in vaudeville until "The Chorus Lady" was transferred from a sketch in a magazine article to a one-act play. I took it out on the continuous and then to London, and it made such a hit that it was changed a bit, made into a four-act drama, and here we are. "While it is true that I never filled

the place of a chorus girl myself, aside from the fact that Patricia O'Brien is a good photograph of this particular woman of the stage, I am tremendously familiar with the chorus queen who, apparently on the same income, rides in automobiles. "There are lots of Patricia's struggling, plucky, spunky, straight and good-hearted. I studied the chorus 'lady' on and off the stage for years. It's a sight for the gods and the humorist to see her at a lunch counter on the road. She falls off the train and rushes into the station to get a sandwich and a glass of milk, or a doughnut and a piece of pie. She gives her order as King Richard might call for his horse, or Cleopatra her barge and heaven help the poor attendants if they do not fly to her bidding. She is disdainful of her food and scathing in her comments on the service. She pays her check with the air of an injured queen and stalks out, leaving the lunchroom menials under the impression that they have failed to please Mme. Duse or Sarah Bernhardt. Then she goes back to the train and will sit up half the night sewing frills on her costumes, to make a brave showing on the opening night in the next town, and then, after a night of work, she trudges out of the station in the chilly dawn to search for cheap lodging."

SEAL HUNTING.

EsKimo Methods In Dealing With the Wary Creatures. Writing of far northern huntiiis methods. Harry Whitney thus describes in Outing how Eskimos kill the vary seal: "Many seals were seen on the fresh made ice. and Eiseeyou, my head man, expressed a desire that I take charge f his dog team while be stalked some f them. Seals are extremely shy. and great cauUou must be practiced in approaching them. The Eskimos use a blind in the form of a miniature 6ledge, about eighteen inches in length by six in width, with bearskins tacked on the runners. Fore and aft are two upright crotcbed sticks, upon which the rifle rests and to which it is lashed. On the front of the sledge a crossbar sustains two long perpendicular sticks, over which a piece of white cloth is stretched, or when that is not attainable bareskin is substituted. Through a hole in this cloth screen the muzzle of the rifle protrudes. "Holding his blind before him, he was enabled to walk within 300 or 400 yards of a seal without startling it Then he dropped on his hands and knees and pushed the little sledge before him. Thus hidden behind the cloth screen, which so blended with the ice as to arouse in the seal no suspicion of danger, he approached within fifty yards before shooting. Seals always lie close to their holes, and it is necessary to hit them in the bead or under the shoulder and have the bullet penetrate the heart and kill them Instantly; otherwise they will flop into the hole and sink before it is possible to reach them."

NORWAY'S BILL OF FARE.

Fish end Boiled Potatoes Served Day After Day. "As we sat cozily before the cheerful blaze," writes Caroline Thurber ia a delightful account of "A Motor Invasion of Norway" in the Century, "we indulged in mathematical calculations and found that we had eaten forty-two consecutive meals of fish, with potatoes never otherwise than boiled. One of the women of our party once cried from her soul to a sympathetic looking host, 'Why, oh, why, are there no chickens in Norway? " There are. madam, but they are for laying purposes.' Then why, oh. why, do yoo always boil your potatoes?1 'We are different from yon. madam. We don't like them messy. We prefer to know a potato as a potato when we eat it. ln our passage through the country we had certainly encountered new and unpalatable foods, bnt we were always nourished, for good milk, butter and eggs were everywhere at hand, and we developed powers of digestion previously undreamed of. Even so. one supper menu staggered us nota bene: Sausages, three kinds; raw salmon pickled anchovies, shrimps, cold fried fish, cold fish pudding, cold meats, five varieties of cheese, pickles, oranges and gooseberry marmalade, tea. four kinds of raised bread, flat bread with caraway. English biscuit. Norwegian rusks, fried eggs, hot stew (variety unrecognised) . and boiled potatoes,"

TURN DOWN INDIANA

Ohio National Guardsmen Don't Want Camp at Ft. Benj. Harrison.

GETTYSBURG IS PREFERRED

Washington, Pan. VI. If General C. C. Weybrect can bring it about the Ohio National Guard will have the battlefield of Gettysburg for a summer outing ground. The Adjutant General ia in Washington now conferring with the War Department officials about the maneuvers for this year. The general staff has asked the Ohio guard to go to Indianapolis, where the troops camped two years ago. General Weybrecht objects to this plan bpcause he says the ground available at Indianapolis is too cramped for such exercises by a division . of men as would justify the expense of moving them. It is the general's suggestion that the Ohio guard go to Gettysburg instead. While the point has not been settled definitely it is probable that the guard

of the Atlantic states will mobolize at Gettysburg this summer, as the Middle Western troops will unite at Indianapolis. The Ohio division would go to Gettysburg in July, while the time fixed for Indianapolis is early in September. The general has made an argument of this difference iu dates in favor of the eastern location. Ho will know after a day or two more of consultation with the war department officials. Meanwhile General Weybrecht will attend the meeting of the National Guard association in Washington. Former Adjutant General A. li. Critchfield, who arrived today, with Adjutant-General Weybrecht and Assistant Quartermaster General Miller, is to go before the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and ask that the national shoot be held again at Camp Perry. So far as is known Camp Perry will have no opposition. The ground and range are so far superior to any other that it is not thought that the board will consider another location.

Do you know how To find quick relief from backache; To correct distressing urinary ills; To surely cure sick kidneys V Just one way your neighbors know Have used Doan's Kidney Pills: Have proved their worth in many tests. Here's Richmond testimony. David Hershey, 31 South Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I v. as troubled for some time by kidney complaint and the remedies I tried did not help me. 'Often I was hardly able to straighten on account of sharp, cutting pains across the small of my back anJ the least exertion or any cold I contracted caused the kidney secretions to pass too frequently. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Co.'s Drug Store, cured me and at that time I publicly recommended them. I now gladly confirm all I then said, as

HOW LONG IS A DAY?

(Some of the World's Inhabitants Eat 315 Meals During One. If we should meet a man and he should casually remark that he ate 13 meals yesterday we would doubtless be somewhat astonished at his appetite. Likewise we would feel sorry 2or the man who said that, having foolishly eaten three eggs with bacon for breakfast, he had no appetite for his Christmas dinner. But maybe the first mau was from ypitzbergen. where they have a day three and a half months in length, whereas the poor chap who missed the-Christmas feast lived in Finland, at Torena. where Christmas day is something less than three hours long. On the whole. It would be rather wise if one should undertake to do certain work, to receive so much per day in payment, to understand just where the work is to be done, else one might have to labor eighteen and a half hours at Stockholm, if it happened to be the longest day of the year, or all the time from May 21 to July 22 if at Wardbury. in Norway. In St Petersburg the longest day is nineteen hours and the shortest five hours. At Torena, Finland, there is a twenty-two hour day. At London and Bremen the longest day is sixteen and a half hours, while at Hamburg and Dantzig there are seventeen hours in the longest day. In Washington the longest day Js about fifteen' hours.

Writer's Cramp. "Pa, what is writer's cramp 7 "It's being cramped for money, my son. All writers suffer from it."

Columbus, Ohio, January 12. -Courts where domestic difficulties may be

aired and judicially settled were ad-

vocated by Judge E. B. Kinkead. of the Franklin County Common Picas Bench, in an address before the State Association of Probate Judges. He would give it the uame of the Delinquency Couit. and said that it should also take oer the powers of the divorce tribunal. For instance, if a man was dissatisfied with the cooking at home the court might order the woman to take lessons in the culinary art. Again, if the man insisted upon attending lodgo meetings six nights in a week the judge could force him to take demits down to a proper basis. Or he might agree upon the division of the income, setting aside the proper amount to be paid the wife for new bonnet money. To this tribunal vould also be given the function of handling the present nusinesa of the Juvmile courts. In fact, all matters of domestic difference might be referred to it. The association instructed the Judiciary committee to revise the Probate code and request of the general assembly amendments to existing laws governing the settlement of estates and will contests. At present the law provides that the limit for the settlement of estates and will contests. At present the law provides that the limit for the settlement of an estate is 1!S months. An amendment will be asked to shorten this to one year. As to the contest of wills, the limit is two years, and an amendment will be requested making the law provide that such matters must be settled within one year. All portions of these laws which have to do with the settlements of estates or will contests, such as the filing of claims and other proceedings, are to be shortened in proportion to that of the chief subjects.

Ironwork In India. India was the first country which turned iron into weapons. Persia borrowed the art from India. 'The Itlgveda. which is the oldest record In the world, gives evidence of this. So do also the Astras and Sastras of the Dbanurneda. and during the early part of the Christian era the Indian blade was the most used throughout the eastern and western world. This art reached Its greatest perfection la northern India, the Punjab, -Nepanl. Rajpatana. Gujarat and other provinces, where they still make beautiful arms.
