Paris. July 23.—Several of the Par is newspaper today cal'ed attention to the fact (hat this is the 15(>fh anniver sary of the birth of Francois Eugene A’i doeq. the notorious thief who became the World’s greatest detective, and who laid the foundation for the remarkable system of po'ice supervision which still prevai’r! in Paris. AA’hen A’idocq was a boy at Arras, and in his youfh. all France suffered from the lawlessness and crime that resulted for the Revolution. On the night that A’idocq was born 'there was a tbrrible tem pest and thunder storm, and the old mid-wife who assisted at his birth pre dicted that the boy would have a life of strange adventure, wild experiences and much hard fortune. AVithout being wicked by nature. Francois A’idocq drifted into evil among the bad influences that surrounded him. and his father was unwise in Ins courses with the boy. Early in youth he desired to go to America, and thus, breaking away from present associates, be able to begin life afresh under henrthful mor al conditions. The elder A'idocq. who was a baker, would not help his son to carry out his plan. So Francois stole a large sum from his mother, ran away to Ostend to get a ship, and was in turn robbed on the eve of sailing, and thus prevented from carrying out his plans. He drfted into the army and fought under Kellerman- For a time he had better fortunes, and at IS was an officer. But his evil genius kept him in con stant difficulties, and for years he was in and out of prison, and his constant asociates were the most hardened cri minals.. He hated this life, and when he received a long sentence on perjury evi dence. he thought of a plan that might be of service to him. He ,offered his services to the cb .es of police in Paris, to aid in tracking crim ;nals and making the city safer for hon est people, and in exchange for what he would do, he was. of course, to be re based from Brest. IPs offer was accepted, for no crim inal in France was more skilled in dis guise of every sort than be. and to him the languages of the underworld were thoroughly familiar. So he founded a system with secret agents t«.- work for him. and these he gathered from among the notable leader#! of the criminal class. For nearly 20 years Francois directed the detective force under the system lie founded, and then under a new admini ster tion lost his position. Still intent on being of service to society. Vdocq went to St. Maude. Fiance, and started an extensive manu factory of paper and cardboard. The peo ple he employed were the unfortunate men and women who had served sentences in prison and whom no other emn’oyei would engage to work. For some years all went well. and then the Government began to object to having centered at one place so many persons with evil records. It was not long till this resulted in the failure of A’idocq and the collapse of the enterprise which he had founded. He again entered the service . f the without any real authority. Once m bis life lie was signally honored. The Min ster of the Interior commended him for his labors, and Louis Philippe, the Citizen King, personally received him a ad thanked him. The death of the great detective occurred in Paris in 1857. Famous Yellowstone Geyser Slightly Slows t T p Activity. Yellowstone National Park. July 23. Even Old Faithful, supposed to be the most constant, and certainly the most celebrated gevser in th» world, is under going changes. This year Old Faithful is erupting every (>7 minutes and his out bursts last for about five minutes. In the memory of lving scientists this gey ser became active every 60 minutes, and there is much speculation as to changes beneath the earth’ surface which are slowing down this old wonder. Many gey'sers in the basin of the lire Hole River, the gr4test geyser area in the world, have ceased shooting entire ly within the last 50 years, while others which were formerly naetive are again shooting. Old Faithful still sends steam and water into the air to a height of 150 to 200 feet and is surrounded day and night by throngs of tourists await ing his outbursts.
