bosom hundred of years. Including; a
barge ased by the Romans when Julius
Caesar ruled In sarly Britain. English
writers usually refer to It aa "Father
Thames' the father of London's
nighty commerce.
It Is of the river's weird and seamy
aide that I would tall the mysteries
and tragedies which bare 4eea bidden
la Its dark waters, the crime which
still flourishes along; Its crowded banks,
and the recovery of varied treasure,
lost overboard from craft of all slses,
from the earliest times to the present
day.
How few people know anything; of
the marvellous and Intricate network
of organisations by which order ia so
silently and ceaselessly maintained on
the river which daily bears on Its
bosom the richest freight In the worldl
The River Police, the Customs House,
the Port of London and Sanitary Au

Illvcr Police Kept Baay.
Of all these bodies, the River Police
are naturally more concerned than the
rest with what the public regards aa
ths tragic sli of life on the river.
Crimes of violence on the Thames have
undoubtedly decreased since the days
described by Charlss Lrtrkens In ths
matchless pen-pictures which are to be
found In many of his novela But
htevea and freebooters are as numer
ous as ever, these liver vermin special.
Islng In their vsrlous departments of
dlahonssty Just aa thieves do on land.
Thece are still "tier-rangers" men
who climb noiselessly on board vessels
lying in the Pool at sight, while the
watchman Is asleep, and help them
selves to any portable articles, often
descending to the cabins when they
find the coast Is clear.
Then there are "lumpers." who. while
engaged In unloading vessels, carry off
aa much valuable property as tbey can
cram Into the capacious pockets con
trived la the lining of their coats, and
often assist ths crew by smuggling
goods ashore. "Truckers" are smug
glers la a larger way of business, en
gaged In landing heavier ' parcels of
goods than ths lumpers'- can manage.
There are also gtlll "dredgermen." who,
under the pretense of dredging things
from the bottom of the river, selsa their
opportunity of throwing overboard any
article from the decks of barges or
ether exposed craft. In ths hope of be
ing able to dredge It to the surface
when ths vessel has left Its mooring.
"Toshers" confine themselves to
stripping from ths bottoms of ships ths
protecting copper, thus endangering
the lives of those on board. Another
set of specialists watch their chances
for etitting boats loose from their
moorings, so that they may afterward
claim rswaxds for salving them.

or more of the attaches of these con

the beginning of ths end of a system
of gambling and graft that has filched
untold mlUlons of dollars from Its. vic
tims. For years the Chicago Board of Trade
has been making war on bucketsnops.

co-operation of ths Government in this
work Is counted on as the last thing
needed. If the use of ths mails Is

An Ingenuity that is almost onbe

bucket shop operators to circumvent
the laws and to entrench upon 'the

plosive goods are on board, seeing that
all craft carry proper lights, and dredg
ing the river In order that the channel
may not be Impaired by the accumuia
tlon of silt. '
It has been during their dredging oper
ations at various points of the river that
the men of the Thames Conservancy have
brought to ths surface many an object of
antiquarian or romantic Interest. The
vertebra of a whale, dredged up in wool-
wlch Beach In 1892. recalls the fact that
whales were frequent visitors to the
Thames in prehistoric times: and a rello
of the glacial period has been preserved
In an elkhorn, found In the river at
Isle-worth.
Prehistoric Belies Uncovered.
Implements of ths Bronse Age. a spear
head, an old flint-lock musket, a brass
cannon inscribed wiUi Chinese charac
ters, the remains of an early Briton's
sword, and a bronse Greek or Roman
helmet (now In the British Museum) are
among the 'warlike articles of various
age which have . from time to time
been fished up from the bed of the
Thames. An Interesting discovery was
made during dredging operations at
Brentford in 106, when the Conservancy
men came upon a number of pointed
takes deeply Imbedded In the river's
bottom. They proved to be the tjemalns
of the fortifications constructed by the
Britons against the Roman invaders. At
that period Brentford was the first
place above London where there was a
ford or passage across the river, the
whole of the Thames Valley being cov
ered with forests and swamps. And to
day the London County Council officials
in building a new county nail nave come
upon a Roman barge that they are pre
serving with close care.
Valuable articles of Jewelry have
sometimes been brought to the surface
by the buckets of the dredger, and even
restored to their owners, as In the case
of a gold watch found In Hambledon
Dork. It was traced by Its number, and
although it had been under water for
than a vear. It was returned to
the owner 'very little the worse for lis

They are all within or adjacent to the

much below the first-class standard, are
still too high to be within the frequent

Save on exceptional occasions, when
there is a genuine event of "state"

are rarely sold out this season. Scalpers
are not able to do a land-office business
as In some other years. There are too
many empty seats in the ordinary

the way of cutting down expenses. Pro

settings and the casts must contain one

that the 5-cent and 10-cent houses
would educate more people to graduate
Into the patronage of the first-class
houses has not been borne out In prac

surmountable. The long opera season a novelty for
Chicago probably will snd with a defi

backers of the company expected when
they projected this enterprise. The at

It takes some time to establish the
personal relation between company and

Hobo Carts and Dogs Happy.

fo'r the hobo cats and dogs of Chicago.
They are to have a $20,000 hotel in
stead, where they may find protection
against wintry winds, against hunger
and against the kicks and ouffs of a
cold world.
Society women have taken tip the
cause of the wayfaring felines and ca
nines. A score of them met at the home
of Mrs. R. Hall McCormlck the other
day, discussed the woes of homeless
cats and dogs and decided then and
there it was time to extend the help
ing hand in a substantial way.
One of the women present promptly
subscribed $1000 and three or four
others followed suit. Within halt an
hour $8000 bad been offered and It was
decided the limit of construction might
safely be placed at $20,000. .
Not only is the cat and dog hostelry
to be established, but it will be lo

most in the midst of the fashionable

over near the Lake Shore drive. It
will be close enough' so that the so

Ten Robust Babes Arrive.
The population of Park Ridge, one of
the suburbs of Chicago, has a popula
tion of 2009, according to the Federal
census. Early last Spring it was just
10 short' of that number, but before
the suns of Summer began to shine 10
robust babies came Into being there.
They breathed a fine quality of subur
ban air and all survived.
These youngsters will not understand
for some years to come what a service
they have been to their fellow-townsmen
or to their future selves. Their timely
advent Into the world means that Park
Ridge will have a $10,000 public library
Instead of a $6000 building. Mr. Carnegie
has promised the library. One of the
conditions Imposed by him was that if
the suburb showed a population of less
than 2000, he would be the angel In the
establishment of a $5000 library. If the
population went beyond that limit, he
would double his donation In the interest
of the higher education of the villagers.
That is where the babies made them
selves felt.
Hughle Fullerton, well known ss a
baseball writer. Is one of the hottest
boomers of the town. Surrounded' by his
neighbors who had gathered at die town
hall to celebrate over the population
figures he proposed a concerted move
ment to swell the population to 2500 a
year hence. To what extent babies are
to figure In this increase Is not known
but the admonishment was given by in
direction that this means of lifting the
prestige of the town 'was one not to be
sneered at.
