Under the present law with its higher
rates the revenue collected in the state
of New York from liquor licenses is
four times what it was under the old
law. Yet there has been a marked de-
crease in the number of saloons. Dur-
ing 1895 and 1800, under the old law,
33,437 licenses were taken out. During
the present corresponding period un-
der the new law 27,372 licenses were
taken out. The net receipts for the
first mentioned year were 82,9:31,000;
for the second, 811.004,000.

There are 3,000 insurgents before
Imus and Hacoor, keeping the Ameri-
cans sleeping on their arms and nightly
awaiting attack. The Filipinos have
several cannon. The first mayor of
Imus under the American regime, who
ultimately deserted, is their leader in
the assaults and is ambitious to take
the town. Three soldiers of the
Fourth infantry have deserted and are
now with the enemy. Moat of the in-
habitants of Iinus are so strong in
their sympathies with the insurgents
that it is necessary to use a part of the
regiment to patrol the streets and to
prevent shooting from houses when-
ever an attack begins. The American
forces in the north have separated into
many small commands and are pursu-
ing bands of Filipinos.
(ien. MacArthur is engaged in clear-
ing the mountain country west of the
Manila-Dagupan railroad. Gen. Grant
is moving from Angeles toward Subig
with 400 men. Col. Bell is sweeping
south from Mangatarem. Thus far the
American commanders have been un-
able to locate large bodies of insur-
gents, although there were about 500
in San Clementine, nine miles south
of Mangatarem, early in the week.
Col. Hood, with the Sixteenth regiment
and cavalry and Gen. Lawton, with a

Washington. Dec. 8.—The state de-
partment is using its utmost endeavors
and sending dispatches to all parts of
South Africa to discover the where-
abouts of Consul Macrum, who so sud-
denly and mysteriously disappeared
from his post of duty as American con-
sul to Pretoria. As Mr. Macrum was
the only American consul in the Boer
republic and was authorized to also
look after ltritish interests during the
hostilities, his conduct is perplexing to
the state department. This accounts
for its activity in trying to locate him.
It is stated that Slacruin has joined

though ingeni'
boldly advanced and audaciously
fended, they have invariably come to
naught, for the simple reason that they
were not based 011 fundamental truths.
Poe's attempt to value epics by weight
in now regarded as satirical rather than
earnest, and the assertion that eminent
editors of wide experience are in the
habit of judging manuscripts by the
feel of them is usually ascribed to the
promptings of humor. However, the
time for idle jesting has passed, for it
will be possible henceforth to judge
literary productions with an exactness
that will make criticism useless and
loK rolling futile. By applying the
laws 1 have formulated it will be possi-
ble for the publisher of the future to
•educe his losing ventures to a mini-
mum and for an author- after he has
had a book published that will fur-
nish the necessary data—to avoid the
•uinous results of publishing in the
wrong direction.
Having discovered the characteristic
trend of his wave of influence and the
average intensity of his intellectual
pressure, a writer can offer his works
to an appreciative public without fear
of failure. Of course, in dealing with
first books judgment will still be neces-
sary, but judgment backed by scientific
experience will be much less likely to
err than that which inspires the pres-
ent order of critics, who can give no
excuse for their existence other than
a divine right to be fiendish. Of course,
1 realize that my deductions will be op-
posed or, at least, misunderstood by
that class of critics w hose minds are so
broad that an idea gets lost in them,
but to such people 1 shall have nothing
to say. In order to present my case 1
shall begin by stating the laws of the
intellectual atmosphere in the ordei
of their importance:
1. Impulses of humor travel from the
west to the east.
2. Impulses of wisdom travel from
the east to the west.
3. Poetry travels from the north tc
the south and from the south to the
north.
Only waves that are direct in theii
motion develop permanence. Cyclonic
waves are short lived and a second is
never generated from the same source.
Amazing or absurd as these state-
ments may seem to the literary and un-
thinking. I am sure that every scientist
will accept them as authoritative, for I

Iiik Unpopular.
Warden C. C. MeClaughrey, of the
Wisconsin stnte prison, says that the
Bertillon system of measurements is
away ahead of the achievements of
Sherlock Holmes in the detection of
crime. Under the direction of Dr. F.
(i. Messer this system is well in hand
at the Waupun prison. It was devised
in 1880 by M. Alphonse Bertillon, the
well-known French anthropologist, who
figured in the Dreyfus case, and was in-
troduced in Puris in 1S82.
The Bertillon system was first intro-
duced in this country by Maj. Me-
Claughrey, father of the warden of the
Wisconsin prison. Maj. MeClaughrey
was then warden of the Illinois state
prison, at Joliet. Matthew Wilson Me-
Claughrey, a younger brother of the
Wisconsin warden, installed the system
at the Waupun prison and at the cen-
tral police station in this city. For
many years he has been engaged in iden-
tification and detective work, complet-
ing his education as an expert in Paris
under M. Bertillon. Mr. MeClaughrey
was injured while installing the system
at the Wisconsin prison, a convict who
was being measured striking him on
the head.
Since the introduction of the Ber-
tillon system there has been a waning
of the tattoo fad. There was a time
when a tattoo mark was regarded as
indipensable by men who made law-
breaking their business. They consid-
ered it u sort of a charm, and believed
that to a certain extent the indelible
ink figures that adorned their breasts
or arms made them immune to arrest.
But that day has gone by. The clever
modern crook knows that the tattoo
is a hoodoo. Under the Bertillon sys-
tem of registration of the marks upon
a man's body it is a certain clew to the
identification of prisoners.
"There is one peculiar thing about
tattoo marks," said a member of the
state board of control recently. "Some
time ago. when the board was hearing
prisoners at Waupun, I took occasion
to ask every man who came before us
if he hnd any tattoo marks upon his
body. Most of the men had, but I
took notice that the real clever crim-
inals hnd fewer marks than the bung-
ling fellows. I learned that most of
e prisoners had been tattooed by the
me man. It seems that the fellow
made a practice of securing short juil
ntences in various places, and while
iu jail tattooed his fellow-prisoners, ac-
pting whatever amount of money
they were able to pay. You'll never see
11 flag design tattoo on a real tough man.
For some reason the fellow who is
real vicious doesn't like to have the
national emblem pricked into his skin.
He much prefers an anchor or a s r\
pent,"— Milwaukee Sentinel.
