THE PITTSBURG " DISPATCH, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 189L
the m3tu A'mcmber from one of the South
ern States whom I will call Mr. , to
avoid personality, was one day in conversa
tion with Moorhead at the latter's desk.
Thev both became somewhat excited, until
finally Mr. called the General a liar.
Ho quietly replied: "That remark only
serves to confirm the impression I have
long had of you, that you are an unmiti
gated blackguard; that is nil I have to say
to vou now, but when the House adjourns
I will have something more to say."
Mr. retired to his own side of the
chamber, and presently one of his col
leagues came over to Moorhead's seat and
said, "General you and Mr. have had
0oine altercation, and he used an expression
' that he regrets and will apologize for it if
yon will give him the opportunity."
"Yes." said Moorhead, "he's got to."
"Well," said the member, "he complains
that you gave the first offense and, under
the rules of the code, you ought to give the
opportunity for an apology."
Moorhead replied: "I know nothing
about the rules of your code. I have a
short code of ray own. If a man insults me
he must apologize or I'll club him."
The apology was made, and that pros
1 jective duel happily averted.
A rOlXTED STYLE OF OBATOEY.
General Moorhead was not a brilliant
speaker, nor much given to speaking in the
House, but possessed the faculty ot saving
what he had to say in a few strong, clear,
terse sentences, that went to the very mar
row of the question, and never failed to
convey his meaning without the possibility
of mistake. In a speech in reply to one of
his colleagues who had attempted to apolo;
gize for the rebellion, and charged its
cause to the Abolitionists, Moorhead said:
"The creat question of the hour is, not bv
what process the present condition of
things nas been reached, but how to sup
press the rebellion; how to beat back our
rebel foes, how to save our people from
spoliation and slaughter; our country from
, division, our Government from overthrow;
duties in whose presence every other hides
its diminished head. I have, Mr. Speaker,
uniformly observed that the men who waste
their energies in discussing the past, are
leatt willing to meet the responsibilities of
! the present, or rise to the stature which it
'demands."
THE "5A5IE IDEA IX TOETRT.
How strikingly, though ignorant of it, he
had caught the idea of l'rof. Lowell, and al
most his very form of expression:
Xevi occasion teach new duties, Time makes
anccnt-srooQ uncouth,
Tory mut upoard still, and onward, who
w oald Keep abreast of truth,
Lo, before u9 gleam her cunpflres! We our-
sel cs mut Dilgnni- he
Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly
through the despera'e wintry sea,
Xor attempt the future's portal with the
past's blood-rusted key.
General Moorhead was one of the bravest
spirits that ever lived. He had the courage
of his convictions, and never hesitated to
give expression to them when occasion de
manded, and that too in,a manner that both
pricluded answer and disarmed resentment.
To him may be fitly applied the lines of.

THE SYSTEM AT BIVEESIDE.
Now, if "The-man-who-looks-like-me"
can be outdone, all danger of such mistaken
identity may be
averted. The hu
morous adventures
of two persons who
resemble one
another would
only be heard of in

haps seem less
reasonable with

It was while witnessing the remarkable
detail of this Bystem that the thought
struck me what a satisfactory state of affairs
would ensne if this same method, or some
modification of it, could be generally
adopted. Let a family, for instance, keep
just such a record of its members.
The Bartillon system, as it is called, is
rather new in the United States. It was

WHT ORDINARY DESCRIPTIONS PAH.
The penitentiary in Allegheny was one of
the first to try it, and up to the present
they have so
t ho r o ughly
"written up" 900
convicts that it
is hard to under
stand how any
one of them may
ever escape the
brand of infamy
thus laid up
against him or
her, so complete
is it. The origi
nator of the sys
tem, Mons. Bar
tillon.of Erance,
explained it in
1881 as "ameth- Length of Reach. '
od of describing persons and identifying
individuals, vastly superior to the old one
with its vague indications of a person's
height, color of hi3 hair and eyes, his com
plexion, size and form of nose, chin, fore
head, etc"
Prom personal measurements and obser
vations made in Paris with 10,000 subjects,
Mons. Bartillon states that among 100 per
sons of the same height, thus observed S7
had what is commonly called "brown" hair;
10 had blonde hair; 2.7 had black
hair, and 0.3 for 3 in every
1,000) had red hair. A person with brown
hair, therefore, has no distinction from nine-
tenths of the total population. In other
wordsj in nine out of every ten tijues a de
scription of the color of the hair would be
useless, or nearly so. For this reason the
color of the hair has a characteristic de
scriptive power only with the blonde, black
or red-headed.
DESCRIPTIONS OP FEATURES.
As every policeman or undertaker in
Pittsburg knows, this irregularity of repar
tition is more striking in relation to the
epithets, 'long,'- "large," "medium," I
4,
Length of Trunk.
EfsSk? Ml
"small," etc., meant to convey impressions
of the nose, forehead, mouth, feet, etc.
The description "medium," perhaps, is
used most. Similar difficulties appear in
the descriptions of the color of the eye. Of
a group oi 100 persons observed once, one
fourth of even height had so-called- hazel
eyes, one-fourth had what are commonly
caHedgray, one-fourth blue and one-fourth
of indistinct color.
Mr. J. M. Bay, the official who conducts
Jho measurements at the Western Peniten
tiary, tells me that dark-blue eyes turned
from the light and observed at a distance of
several feet appear black, owing to the con
trast of the dark-colored iris with what is
commonly styled the white of the eye. The
so-called gray eye is generally nothing but
a blue eye with more or less yellowish tint,
appearing gray on account of the shadowy
cast of the eyebrows. The height of a man
described as "medium" is. very vague, and,
on the whole, half the runaway criminals,
or unknown dead, described by the old, in
definite method, have never been identified
by the published descriptions alone.
THE MKASUREHKNTS MADE.
when a new prisoner is brought to the
penitentiary he is taken to Mr. Bay's office,
stripped from the waist up, and put through
the most thorough measurements he ever
underwent in his life. His head is meas
ured tor width and length by the caliper
compasses. Then he is placed against the
wall, in his bare feet, and measured for
the heighth of body. Metal measuring
scales are attached to the wall, and are
marked off in the metrical system, so that
the smallest fraction of an inch is arrived
at. By other metal marks the distance
reached by the convict's outstretched arms
are determined to the delicate parts of
measurement Ordered to place his hand
npon a stand, the fellow's middle and little
fingers are measured, the length of his fore
arm recorded, the length of his trunk taken
while seated, the length of his right ear
ascertained, the true color of the eye found
by occupying a proper position with regard
to the light, and many other accounts taken
by the officer with the rule and called off
to the clerk at the desk. The accompany
ing photographs faithfully illustrate the
course a prisoner is put through when he
reaches Allegheny.
The purpose is to accuratelv measure all
the parts of a person which have reached
full development and cannot change in
after years.
In the five large blank books of the "West
ern Penitentiary Mr. Kay has made a classi
fication and sub-division of these measure
ments. The same classification and sub
divisions are adhered to in the other peni
tentiaries, jails and workhouses that nave
adopted the Bartillon system. Suppose
Johet Penitentiary in Illinois has reason
to believe that one of the prisoners recently
taken in at the penitentiary in Allegheny
is an ex-nrisoner who ran awav from there.
Keferring to the books a duplicate of his
minute description is made out and for
warded to "Warden "Wright in Allegheny.
He hands it to Mr. Eay.
THE SYSTEM IS PERFECT..
If you wanted to find the word "danger"
in the dictionary von would first look for
the letter "D."
Then you would
run your finger
down and through
the pages until
you came to the
.words beginning
"da," then to
"dan," then to
"dang, " and so on.
In exactly the
same way does
Mr. Kay find the
description oi this
man in his books.
The prisoners in
the institution
Lenath of Finaer. who have small
heads are classed in one group, large heads
another, large forearms one group, small
forearms still another. A collection of
these groups forms a volume, and by the in
dex the official knows just about where to
turn on the spur of the moment.
Suppose even that the man in question is
sailing under nn assumed name, the meas
urement of his head will determine at onoe
in which of the main divisions his real
name and photograph may be found. The
length of his middle finger, of his foot, or
forearm, etc., will enable you to arrive ex
actly at the place where his pnotograpn ana
detailed description have been filed, if at
alL Figures do not lie. In 1883, 49 indi
viduals were by this method exclusively
recognized as habitual criminals after all
other means ot Identification had tailed.
This was at the Prefecture of Police in
Paris.
NO OCCASION FOR A TEST YET.
In the same city up, to 1885, 500 had been
positively identified. Since the system has
been in vogue at Allegheny there has been
no escape, and consequently no occasion to
test the accuracy of the system. But there
is not one of the 900 persons who have
been within those walls since those five
books were commenced who has not gotten
his physical dimensions down in pen and
ink so completely that he shudders to think
of it.
This system of measurement shows some
curious tacts. People with small bodies are
not always small proportioned, some fre
quently having large feet, and large people
often have small ears, small fingers, etc.
Xo confusion exists in the collection of
photographs kept on file at the penitentiary.
The "rogue's gallery" here is made by one
of the xonvicts, who is a most artistic
photographer. The directors of the peni
tentiary have supplied him with a fine
camera and a well-equipped dark-room.
The photographs accompanying this article
were made by this prisoner, who regards it
as a favot to "be permitted to accommodate
visitors. Incidentally, this man has taken
some splendid scenic views from the windows
of the penitentiary, which form one of the
finest collections of work the writer has
ever seen.
NO CAUSE FOR MISTAKES.
Ko two persons in 100,000 could so closely
duplicate each other as to measure exactly
the same in all
Earts o f the
ody included
in the Bartillon
method. Men
very frequently
will have exact
ly the same
width or length
of head, but
would differ in
some of the
other particu
lars, such as the
little finger,
forearm and
ear. Even sup
posing two per- jra jf Footm
sons were so remarkably 'alike as to meas
ure the same out of a dozen details, or yet
in 12 out of 15. The few particulars in
which thev did differ would be sufficient to
make the identification complete!
It is interesting to stop and think to what
uses this system might be extended. "Why
devote jt entirely to the branding of crimi
nals? Could it not be used in giving to the
inhabitants of a country, the soldiers of an
army, or travelers in distant lands, individ
ual descriptions or charts of peculiar
marks, enabling them to identify themselves
or be recognized at all times.
USEFUL IN CASHING DRAFTS.
Might it not be used to prevent false im
personations; to record all the' distinctive
marks of an individual on bank drafts and
letters of credit, or in titles and contracts,
his personality to be established for his own
part, for the benefit of third parties, or in
the interest of the State? Would it not be
invaluable in absolutely identifying
prisoners and witnesses in important trials
at court
Let a certificate of life, or a life-insurance
policy, be filled in with the same style of
description as those books in the peni
tentiary contain of the prisoners; if fam
ilies kept such a complete private registry
of itsmembers how valuable it would be if
descriptions of persons becoming insane or
unconscious or meeting sudden death
among strangers came under the observa
tion of families who iiad missed relatives?

A very interesting Bible is in the posses

has been an heirloom in the family for
more than 200 years, having been brought
to this country by James Yates, a remote
ancestor, and a member of the colony estab
lished by William Penn in 1682. The late
Dr. Hunter used this Bible while writing
"his commentary on the Proverbs, and in
his introduction thus speaks of it:
"The Geneva Bible is one of tile earliest
English translations. The copy now in
our possession, by the favor of a friend (the
writer), has these words on the title page:
At Geneva. Printed by Iohn Crespin'
no date. The Psalter, bound up in the
same volume, which, however, seems to be
on a different and fresher looking paper, has
this: 'At Geneva. Printed by Iohn Cres
pin M.D.LXIX.'"
He is mistaken, however, with regard to
the Psalter being on different paper. If it
looks "different and fresher," it is because
it did not get so thoroughly saturated with
water in a flood in which the Bible was
immersed in 1817..The Doctor was not aware
of this fact.
He stated that in a number of passages
the translators have given a different turn
to the Hebrew from anything he had found
in any other translation. He refers to it in
several of his notes and quotes it with ap
proval. Below will be found an almost exact
copy of the title page of the Psalter and an
exact reproduction of the orthography fol
lowed by the first verse of the first Psalm,
with the music to whichit is set. A metrical
version of the Lord's Prayer, with the notes
to which it was sung or chanted, also accom
panies this article. The primitive notes and
crude music ot the days ot (jueen Elizabeth
and William Shakespeare show what a vast
improvement has been made in musical
science during the last 300 years.

of a different quality from that on whioh the
title to the Psalter is printed, beiug heavier
and not made- of as good material. To ac
count for different imprints and dates it
may be supposeef'that, as no edition of the
Geneva Bible was printed in English until
1576, a large edition (the second) was
printed in 1569 and sent to England in
sheets; that the person to whom these
sheets were consigned was John Bodleigh,
who, in 1565, received from Secretary Cecil
tho exclusive privilege of printing the Gen
eva Bible for 12 years. In 1576 Bodleigh
transferred his privilege to Kobert Barker,
in whose family it continued for more than
100 years, In disposing of his right to print
the Geneva Bible Bodleigh doubtless turned
over to Barker all the sheets of the second
edition which he still had on hand, and
as they were now his property, he placed
his imprint on them, which, it will be ob
served, is all he claims.

VERSIONS OP THE LORD'S PBAXEB.
The metrical version of the Lord's Prayer
by William Whittingham,
The loan collection in the art gallery of
the Exposition this year promises to be a
more interesting feature than ever before.
A visit was paid it,yesterday,by a Dispatch
representative, in company with Slanager
Johnston. The pictures have all been ar
ranged, and workmen were busy putting
the last finishing touches to the decorations,
the colors of which are maroon and green,
making a very fine background. ,
Manager Johnston was in ecstacies over
the collection, which is without doubt one
of the finest ever placed on exhibition in
this vicinity. He said the first time,he saw
it he thought it was grand, the next time
marvelous, "and now I just stand in open
eyed astonishment and wonder. Just look
at that Henner. That is one. Here is
another. In many collections they feel
highly elated if they can secure one, while
there are four or five in this one. This is
a collection yon can seldom see. All are
private property, and their valuation is in
calculable. To the following citizens we
are indebted for the loan:
"The first on the catalogue is the loan of
D. T. Watson, 25 in all,' among which may
be mentioned such prominent artists as
Gerome, Schreyer, Kosa Bonheur, Courbet,
Munkacsy, Henner, Vibert, Jacque and
many others. Colonel J. M. Schoonmaker
sends us 19. In his collection will be found
Corot, Gerome, Schreyer, Verbroeckhoven,
Diaz and others.
A FETE GEOUP OF TWENTY-FIVE.
"In the next group of 25, for which we
are indebted to Charles Donnelly, we find
such prominent names as Meyer, Von
Bremen, Schreyer, again, Diaz, Prere, Van
Marcke, Kico, Lerolle, and many more.
John B. Jackson sends in six. Here we
have Schlesinger, Preyer and Robier-all
the finest kind of work. From E." M.
O'Neill Ve have received eight valuable
paintings, which include two by Cazin, an
other by Lerolle, Kico, again, and Heller.
"Herbert DUPuy sends in five a Land
seer, Schreyer and Vam Leemputten in the
collection. Charles Lockhart sends ten.
There you notice a Van Marcke, a Maes,
another each of Gerome, Jacque and Cour
bet. From B. Wolff, Jr., we have 32, with"
such names as Portalis, Deloit, Achenbach,
Schlesinger and others. In Joseph Home's
donation of six will be found a Knight,
Jacquet and Dupre. From Mrs. Gusky we
have ten, which includes Gerome, Piot,

climatic conditions are then most favorable,

reduced to the minimum, and the even tem

"In addition to my headaches, I was

debted to Whittingham, so I think it is
pretty dear, that Adoniram Judson, to
whom the authorship of the present version
of this prayer (hymn 716 Methodist Hym
nal;, is accredited, received lrom j,ok: many
of his ideas. For the gratification of the
reader and for the purpose of giving honor
to whom honor is due, I copy Lok's version:
Our Father, which In heaven art,
Lord! hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In heaven and earth the same.
Give us this day our daily oread;
Our trespasses forgive.
As we for other men's offence
Do freely pardon give.
Into temptation lead us not
But d'llver us from ill;
For thine all kingdom, glory, power,
Is now, and ever will.
Compare this with Hymn 716, and it will
be seen that the resemblance between
the two versions is' too close and
too literal to be the result of mere
coincidence. Judson is the reviser of
this hymn, but he is not the author.

to prepare this collection refitted the gal

be made as comfortable as possible, so the
pnblic can enjoy the full benefit of the treat
in store for them."
In the main building, workmen are busy
preparing the numerous exhibits for the
opening next Wednesday. Everything
seems to be a sort of a chaos, but in a few
days all will be in smooth running order.
Some alterations have been made in Ma
chinery Hall, owing to the increased num
bur of exhibitors. The building has been
repainted and the glass in the upper end
has been painted in different colors, which
makes quite an improvement. The office
has been refitted and papered in handsome
style.
Duquesne way is being paved with Bel
gian block. Workmen are busy grading
the walk, which will be made of cinder and
rolled solid. The gas from the Exposition
well will be utilized for the boilers in
Power Hdll. Connections have been made
and it was found that there was a sufficient
quantity of the fuel to run the boilers for
the present. When the .Exposition is
opened it will require more gas, but Mana
ger Jonnsonis satisnedtnat the pressure
will equal the demand. The Westinghouse
electric display will be ready in time, but
the Edison Company's will not owing to
their machinery having gone astray.
The society has published a neat book,
which gives a history of the society and
also a li3t of the exhibitors. It is very
complete, and has many fine illustrations.
P. F. Smith was the printer. Altogether
the exhibition promises this year- to eclipse
all others. v

The paper is 40-pound linen book tyye,
old sty le brevier; marginal notes m non
pariel. Considering the fact that printing
was then only in its infancy, this book, as
to its mechanical execution, accuracy of
register, clearness of impression and even
ness of color, will compare favorably with
the best work of the present day. An il
luminated title page of the New Testma
ment read;: "Imprinted at London by
Kobert Barker, printer to the King's Most
Excellent Majestie, 1G10." Which then is
the true date, and whence the difference in
dates?
The first question is easily answered. In
a note explaining the changed position of
two cuts representing "Solomon's house in
the woods of Xebanon," it is said: "Where
as in ye first edition we did place these tn o
figures after ye first verse of ye 7 chapter of
1 Kings, we now are constrained by falling
owte of ye count to place them here." The
Hew Testament in a small duodecimo
volume was printed in 1557. Three years
later, 1560, the first edition of the Geneva
Bible was published. Between 1560 and
1616 over 30 editions of this Bible were
printed. Now, had the Bible in question
been the fifth, seventh or any other edition
than the 6rst, propriety of language, as well
as accuracy of statement, would have re
quired them to state the number of the
edition. This they have done, showing that
this old book is the second edition ot the
Geneva Bible printed in 1569.
THE DIFFERENCE IJT IMPBINTS.
There is also another significant fact
which has a bearing on the question of date, J

A -Because all have not the like measure
of knowledge, neither do all believe the gos

Q What Is the reason thereof?
Av Because they only believe the gospel
and doctrine of Christ, who are ordained
unto eternal life.
Q. Are not all ordained unto eternal life?
A. Some at e vessels of wrath ordained
unto destruction, as others are vessels of
mercvprepared unto glory.
Q. How standeth it with God's justice
that some aie appointed unto damnation?
A. Very well; because all men have in
themselves sin, which deserveth no less; and
therefore, the mercy of God is woudeiful in
that hevouchsafoth to save some of that
sinfnl race, and to bring them to a knowl

he that liveth ill must needs bo saved if he be

A Not so; for it is not possible that
either the elected should always bo without

have any will thereunto. For to nave either
good will or good work, is a testimony of the

The Growth of an Industry Comparatively
New.
In a visit lately to the factory of the
J. C. Blair Company, Manufacturing
Stationers, situated at Huntingdon, Pa., a
Dispatch representative was interested to
see engraved in handsome letters on a win
dow which .commanded one of the most
beautiful views of mountain, stream and
valley to be seen in Pennsylvania, the fol
lowing quotation: "Accuse not nature, she
hath done her part, do thou but thine."
This seems to have been the motive un
derlying the construction of the magnificent
eight-story brick building in which the
business of this progressive corporation'is
housed, as everything that thought and in
genuity could suggest has been done to make
the 200 or more employes comfortable and
to save as far as possible work and
steps in carrying on the business.
It is surprising that an establishment of
this size can have grown in so short a time, in
a place where light manufacturing indus
tries would hardly be looked tor. To have
advanced in ten years from one man and one
handcutter to the employing of 220 people
in a building eight stories high and covering
a space greater than a whole citv block, is
certainly rapid growth. The reason for it,
however, may be summed up in the axiom,
trite perhaps but appropriate, "Keeping
everlastingly at it brings success." ,
The products of the J. C. Blair Co. are
to be found in over 6,000 stationery and
other stores throughout the United States,
and judging by the samples shown these are
nowhere excelled for beauty and suitability
of design, neatness and care in manufacture,
as well as moderation in price.
"There were roaring noises in my ears,and
as my catarrh grew worse my hearing be
came" impaired. My throat was raw and in
flamed. It was painful for me to eat solid
food.
"A dry, hacking cough set in. I would
have terrible coughing spells. It seemed as
thongh my chest was being torn and lace
rated. The pains in my chest were fre
quently so bad that I was obliged to go to
bed. Night sweats were added to my other
troubles and weakened me terribly. My
limbs would swell and I lost flesh rapidly.
I thought, as did my friends,
vl Would Have Consumption.
"My heart would beat rapidly The pal
pitation would be followed by a slow, ir
regular beating and a feeling of faintness.
'1 had no appetite. The very sight of
food made me sick. What little 1 managed
to eat caused a feeling of distress at my
stomach. I could not sleep. I dreaded to
go to bed. I was so nervous that I was con
stantly tossing about in bed. When I laid
down the mucus would gather in my throat
and I had to sit up and hawk and raise to
obtain relief.
"Such nights asthese left me tired and un
fit for work in the morning. I grew weaker
and weaker, and the least exertion tired
me. I would have dizzy spells. They
would come over me on the street, and on
one or two occasions I fell down, and had to
be carried home and put to bed."
"You are looking well now, Mr. VaiL"
"Yes, and that is not all. I am feeling
well. As I said, I have no more headaches.
The cough has left me. Have no night
sweats. I eat and sleep welL In fact, to
state it briefly, all my symptoms have dis
appeared and I feel better than I have for
years. I owe all this change to the skillful
treatment I received from Drs. Copeland
and Hall, under whose care I placed my
self recently. I am grateful to them for the
relief they afforded me, and will gladly rec
ommend them to all suffering as I was."
THOUGHT IT WAS CONSUMPTION.
"Whatid you do about it?"
"What everyone else does, I suppose
tried all sorts of remedies, but to no avail.
My trouble seemed to be incurable. It af
fected my voice my hearing and my sight.
My voice had a peculiar nasal twang which
I could see was getting more and more pro
nounced. I had pains in my chest and
about my heart. I lost flesh and appetite.
My sleep did not refresh me.
"Some time ago I went to Drs. Copeland
and HalL They examined me and found
that the nasal passages were completely
stopped up with polypli little tumors re
sulting from the irritating progress of cat-
arrn. -iney removed thirty polypu lrom my
nose, and did it without hurting me, too.
Once more I conld breathe freely through
my nose, and you can't begin to imagine
what a relief it was."
"Was that all?"
"No, they placed me under a regular and
systematic treatment for my catarrh. Soon
all the symptons had passed away, and I am
now well and strong."
