U. ' 'Shadowing" says a Chicago detec
tive, "is the most difficult and the
most scientificf work in my profession
In all Of his great cases Allen Pink
er ton depended mainly on what he
learned by shadowing. If a man is
well1 shadowed for two weeks so
much can be discovered concerning
his habits, his associates, his inclina
tions, his secret acts, in short, of his
inner life, that almost a perfect bio-
graphy'of him can be written. Every
man does many characteristic things
when he thinks he is alone, that be
never would do in company, and the
shadow' learns a man's true charac
ter by witnessing his natural life.
More people than you imagine have
been 'shadowed, for the information
of both friends and enemies. Many
curious, J and sometimes suspicious
wives have had their husbands 'shad
owed, ' and many a husband has lock
ed up in his office desk a mirror of
his wife's private life in the form of a
'shadow's'; report. JN early every

man in jnicago prominent in dusih

filed away a document that would

.Men are oftenest shadowed when
hey are in trouble and they rush
here and there, talk to scores of men,
enter scores of places and get up

Discovery of a Plot to Harder an
Heiress
Boston, Oct. 26. A morning paper
tells a sensational story in connection
with the mysterious arrest of a wo
man here Saturday night. The pris
oner is said to be the principal m a
conspiracy to murder a prominent
young lady of West End. The young
ady is said to be heir to considera
ble property," and by getting rid of
her the property would fall into their
hands.- Some time ago the conspira
tor tried to put their plans in opera
tion by attempting to poison ht r.
Although the young lady suffered
considerably by the infamous work.
she finally recovered. Her would be
murderers, decided to adopt other
means of taking her life. Their plan
was to have the young lady sent to
Baltimore, where the next attempt to
kill her was to be made. They then
hired a fellow in this city to perform
he. work, advancing him money to
carry out their schemes. This man's
heart failed him, however, and he ac
quainted the police with the story,
still pretending to his employers that
he was willing to do their bidding.
For two weeks detectives have been
watching every move made by the
conspirators, and on Saturday after
ncen thoy had such a strong case
against the woman that they decided
to arrest her. The police are hard at
work collecting evidence, and some
very startling developments are expected.

Months. "
A decline in the' emigration from
Greot Britain i3 reported for the nine
months' eudiug September 30 this
year as compared with , the same
period of last year. The total emi
gration in tho period named was 168,-
97, against 200,416 m 1884, or a de
crease of about 15 per cent. The
greatect decrease is . shown in the
number of persons - bound to British
North America, only 17,922 leaving
this year, against 28.807 Jast year, a
decrease of over 10,000. The emigra
tion to the United States . amounted
lj.4,bb persons, against 130,054. a
decrease of 15,092. A very slight
increase was shown in the emigra
tion to Australia. Considering the
Cf-neral depression in trade in Great
Lntam during the past year, the
decrease e-hown has occasioned some
surprise.

SPECIAL DEMVEBI PKOD
The Post Odce Department Paz
xled Over Some Unexpected Ob
stacles. , ' : - -Washington
Correspondent Philadelphia Times
The special delivery system so re
cently inaugurated has not proved
such a success as its oneinators ex
pected of it.. Several problems have
arisen which puzzle. th department.
In the first plaoer the- laws authorize
ing the service made no provision for
its support in cities where it did not
support itself .The department found
itself in many cased powerless: to
carry out its own advertised scheme.
From many small towns w here the
full delivery system does not obtain
the reports ' come that ' nobodv could
be found to deliver the special letters
for the money there was in them. As
there were wre no regulars carriers
in such tow n no way out of the dif
ficulty was found until it was ; sug
gested by an Indiana Postmaster that
bis assistant in the office be allowed
to deliver such letters and collect the
revenue therefrom. The Post Office
Department . to-day decided ' that
wbere such assistants were hired bv
tne : Jrostmaster tnis might be done.
but that no official appointed by the
government could be allowed to add
to his salary in this wa v. Unless the
Postmaster or his- assistant will un
dertake to run about town and de
liver special letters' in person for
nothing, there will be a good manv
amces wnere the blockade will exist.
In the opinion of legal officers the
government if liable for any damage
which may arise from the non.deIivs.
ery of letters - prepaid at the special
rates, the same as a telegraph com
pany is liable for the non-delivery of
aispatcn. 'ine ohligation on the
part of the government is stronger,
owiner to the fact that it entersihto a
special contract for the additional
ten cents to deliver the letter imme
diately " in. certain : specified cities.
The i department Understands this
and feels considerable ; embarrassment.

A dramatic scene occurred in the
jail at St. Louis Friday night when
Samuel N. Brooks, of Hyde, England.

but the elder gavevent to grief and

old man staggered forward and fell
heavily against the: bars of the iron
cage in which 'the interview took
place. He recovered himseli bv a

''It would have been better for vm
to be dead than here," he continued,
"ana L oia not bciieve the report un

on his face. . He asked no questions

in his son s insanity, saying : "The

It Tnstes IJhe Mnle.
The members of the colored Meth
odist Conference, now in session at
Washington, listened yesterday to a
colloquy between, their bishop and
frof. A. 111. Soloder, a converted can
nibal, the effect of which was to send
a shudder through the brethren. The
Professor, who is a native of the Fiji
Islands, on being introduced to the
conference related a number of in
teresting things, and among the rest
he fact that he had eaten human
flesh ."many a time.n . To a question
rom the bish as to the difference in
taste between human flesh and beef,
the convert, with a movement of the
jaws suggestiv- of any thing but com
punction, repaid .that human uefch
tasted more hke mule sweet like.
The Professor's grastronomic exper
ience seems to- be rather extensive,
and his taste rather promiscuous for
agreeable companionship.
