NEW LINE OF CRIMINALITY
Fraudulent Identification Has Been
Taken Up as a Means of Gaining
Dishonest Living.
emits.
John Thompson of Hamilton, On-
tario walked into the parlor of his
home one night recently and found
his family mourning around a coffin
in which they supposed his body was
lying. There had been a storm on
the Great lakes, and when Thomp-
son’s father read of the finding of
the body of John Thompson, fireman
of a lost lake steamer, he went to Ket-
tle Point and identified the body as
that of his son. The coffin had just ar-
rived, and Thompson's mother had
Just advanced to look at the body en-
closed when her son entered. Thomp-
son senior could not-explain the iden-
tification.
But there have been many cases like
his in the way of mistaken identifica
ition. Every day at the morgues in
the large cities there are cases of
fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
identifying bodies as those of rela-
tives. Some know them by this mark
and some by that, but they are abso-
lutely certain. In some instances cor-
oners have had to prevent rival iden-
tifiers coming to blows.
Fraudulent identification has got to
be a regular trade. Inquiry is made
at the morgue for a fictitious relative
by a member of an identifying gang.
‘The dead are closely observed. In-
cidents of their history and informa-
tion as to what was found on them
are gathered carefully. Then when
another member of the gang has learn-
ed these facts he goes to the morgue
and identifies the body that will yield
the most profitable return.
ALL THE NEWS OF THE DAY
Chiefly as Understood by the Man
Who Does Not Have Time to
' Read the Papers.
“I am glad to hear,” said the Man
Who Does Not Have Time to Read the
Papers, “that this income tax will
apply to interblocking directors.
“1 wonder when they're going to
start running trains in this new Cats-
kill aqueduct, now that it’s finished.
“I don’t believe Wilson will ever
succeed in having this James Lind
elected emperor of Mexico even if he
does speak Latin. ?
«I knew the telephone company
would have to cut rates when the par-
cel-post company got to competing
with it.
“It seems to me that this paying of
$5 a day to automobile inventors as a
millenium wage is going to lead to
anarchy or even to sociology. But that
ain’t any worse than paying $12,000
a year to the city chambermaid, as
they do right here in New York.
“Were you to the auto show at the
Garden? Who won the races?”
“Jt wasn’t at the Garden,” said the
Man with the Newspaper, “and they
didn’t have any races.”
“Didn’t, eh?” snorted the Man Who
Doesn’t. “Police stopt ’em, I suppose.
More of this impuritanism.”—New
York Press.
Russia’s National Debt.
For several years Russia has been
jncreasing its national debt, and fig-
ures show that over 45 per cent. of
loans emitting in the course of the
last five years were subscribed in for-
eign countries.
The Russian government is anx-
fous to get money from other lands
and is expected to seek further safety
in European markets very shortly
with which to meet requirements for
the present year.
Statistics show that during the
past five years 5169.6 million rubles
were raised by Russia, 3657.1 millions
in the ceuntry, and 1059.3 abroad. The
value of a ruble is about 51 cents.
Very striking is the manner in which
the Russian national debt has been in-
creased in the course of the last two
years, as also the additional amount
of money borrowed on foreign mar-
kets in the year 1912, which jumped
from 256.0 million in 1911 to 448.3 mil-
lions last year.
Historic London Building.
The Inns of Court hotel, London,
which is to become the telephone ex-
change for Holborn, began life as the
Blue Boar tavern in Plantagenet times,
taking its name from the crest of the
De Veres, who owned the land there-
abouts. When its neighbor and rival,
the George inn, was demolished under
Queen Anne, the Blue Boar annexed
the name George as its subtitle. It
was at the Blue Board that Cromwell,
disguished as a trooper, stopped a
man about to set out for Dover. In
his saddle he found a letter from
Charles I. which determined him on
the king’s execution.
Emerson Was a Prophet.
Emerson lived before the days of
the Frisco receivership and the bank- |.
rupting of the New Haven road, yet
one may read in an 1857 entry of his
newly published “Journal:”
“I took much pains not to keep my
money in the house, but to put it out
of the reach of burglars by buying
stock, and had no guess that I was
putting it into the hands of the very
burglars now grown wiser and stand-
ing dressed as railway directors.”—
Collier's Weekly.

The charity that begins at home and
gemains there is anaemic. An occe-
sional outing will do it good.—Judge.
WILL UTILIZE COAL WASTE
Gigantic Central Power Plant Is New
Under Construction at
Hauto, Pa. :
What is believed to be the largest
central power plant in any coal field
in the United States is now being con-
structed by the Lehigh Navigation
Electric company, at Hauto, Pa.
As is well known, the fine sizes of
anthracite, such as buckwheat No. 3
and smaller, although containing a
high heat content, possess but little
present value at the mines. The fun-
damental idea in building this power
plant at Hauto, says Coal Age, is to
convert this low-priced and, from the
monetary standpoint, comparatively
worthless fuel into commercially valu-
able electric current.
A considerable proportion of the
fuel mined in the country today is
used in the generation of electricity.
Particularly during the past few years
the idea has been gaining force that it
is cheaper to manufacture power at
the mine and transmit it to the point
of application than it is to ship the
coal over an equal distance and there
convert it into electric energy in a
small and isolated plant.
One of the unique features of the
plant is the fact that the ashes from
the furnaces can be discharged direct
into air-dump ash cars of standard
gauge and run into the building be-
low the boiler room floor. The ex-
pense of ash disposal is thus greatly
reduced.
RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN INDIA
Influence of the West 1s Being Strong-
ly Felt Throughout the
Country.
India’s religious and social progress
is undergoing important reshapement.
Caste is loosening. Adherents of Hin-
duism are divided at present into three
camps; the ceremonalists, or those
who in orthodox faith adhere to the
traditional rites of worship and sacri-
fice to the ancient gods; the reform.
ists, who, holding to the main ten-
ets of Hinduism, are breaking away
from caste and idolatry, and the edu-
cated Hindus, whose views are being
highly colored by influenges from the
West and whose religion, as far as any
one can perceive, is often little more
than a name.
Christianity is adding not less than
1,000,000 converts during the past
year, but almost entirely from the low-
est’ Hindu society, which has little in-
fluence upon the educated communi-
ties. The Indian tendency seems to be
to retain the main principles and
forms of Hinduism, but to revivify
them with the more generous and al-
truistic spirit of Western religion. As
one missionary teacher expressed it,
the future religion of Indina will be
Christian in spirit, but with Hinduism
and the Indian sacred books as the
Old Testament.—Christian Herald.
Prolific River Nile.
It is believed that the river Nile
contains more kinds of fish than any
other river in the world.
It is more true in repairing the health
ta n in repairing clothes, that “a stitch
in time saves nine.” The timely use of
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription before
the strength is run down, before the hole
in the health has grown so big by neg-
lect, would save many a woman from
periods of suffering. But whether used
soon or late, “Favorite Prescription” is
the one remedy for the ailments of wom.
en which can be always relied upon to
soothe the nerves, strengthen the body,
brighten the mind, and build up the
health. It contains no opium, cocaine or
other narcotic, and is free from alcohol.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
When Run Down
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA, THE RELIABLE
TONIC MEDICINE, BUILDS UP.
The reason why you feel so tired all the
time at this season is that your blood is
impure and impoverished. It lacks vitali-
ty. Itis not the rich, red blood that gives
life to the whole body, perfects digestion
and enables all the organs to perform
their functions as they should.
From any druggist get Hood’s Sarsa-
parilla. It will make you feel Detter,
look better, eat and sleep better. It is the
old reliable tried and true all-the.year-
round blood purifier and enricher, tonic
and appetizer. It revitalizes the blood,
and is especially useful in building up the
debilitated and run-down. \
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is helping thous-
ands at this time of year. Let it help
you. Get a bottle today and begin taking
it at once. Be sure to get Hood’s. 59-18
