A Police Dos.—“ Allen Pinkerton,” the 
dog detective o£ the St. Joseph police 
force, is dead. Hundreds of our people 
who for the past eight years have seen a. 
queer-looking little black dog, with white 
hair around his neck and a bushy tail that 
curled over his back, will read this an¬ 
nouncement with surprise and gen ui ne re¬ 
gret. The first known of the dog is that 
ten years ago he mysteriously turned up at 
the residence of John O'Connor, where he 
remained for about two years. At tin; 
end of that time he became a voluntary 
member of the police force, and demeaned 
himself in such a manner as to gain the 
name of “Allen Pinkerton,” after the no¬ 
ted Chicago detective. He followed the 
men about day and night—first one mem¬ 
ber of the force and then another. Many 
a dark night has he assisted the officers in 
discovering the whereabouts of tramps 
who had concealed themselves in empty 
barrels and boxes, and MS' terrifying bark 
has caused hundreds of petty thieves to 
take to their heels. He prowled about the 
darkest comers in the alleys, and whenever 
an int oxicated man was found g. yelp or 
two was sufficient to bring up the nearest 
officer to look into the matter. His well 
known voice was relied on with as much 
confidence as the sound of a policeman’s 
whistle, and it was always answered. At 
roll call he was prompt as any of the men, 
and on such occasions he was the pet of 
the office. He had themost wonderful sa¬ 
gacity aud appeared to almost comprehend 
the orders of thecMef. Nearly every lady 
who visited the morning market knew the 
dog and spoke kindly to him, wMlo the 
market women petted and carressed him 
whenever he came about, and always had 
a dainty morsel with which to tickle Ms 
palate. Of late years Allen has been grow¬ 
ing feeble and for the past six months or a 
year he has been able to travel with Ms 
old associates hut little. Since Mb health 
became poor he has made his home with 
ex-Polieeman James Hudgens. On Thurs¬ 
day last Allen was taken sick, and not¬ 
withstanding everything was done for the 
poor dumb animal that man could do, he 
calmly died on Tuesday. During the last 
two days and nights that he lived Mr. Hud- 
gen, who more than Once while patrolling 
his lonely night watch realized the value of 
his cheeerful presence, nursed him contin¬ 
ually, and when his death was announced 
every member of the force felt the deepest 
regret. He was buried in Mr. Hudgens’ 
yard, wrapped in a clean white sheet, and 
his remains enclosed in a neatly made 
coffin.— St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette. 
THE PARKER GS-TJIV. 
PARKER BROS., Meriden, Conn. x< 's7 Tjh ambers”' r ma ' 
The Parker Grim Again Victorious! 
Til the Tournament Just closed at the St. Paul Driving Park, 30 prizes In tlio regular shoots 
and the sweeps following them were won by sportsmen using the Purker Gun. 
The Rochester (K. V.) Democrat. mid Chronicle, of recent date, in referring to the remarkable 
execution of these guns at their tournament, in Which the Parker Gun won toe Gold Medal for 
the Best Average, gays: “ The Parker Gun is one nf the finest ever admired by a true sportsman, 
and ol late years It has been generally used where before nothing but those of European make 
would bo thought of. This company baa successfully suuoeeded in making their own steel barrels, 
which, together with other novel and important improvements, make their gnus the finest yet in¬ 
troduced among lovers of field and forest sports. Dr. Carver, the celebrated American marksman, 
used this gun m his late exhibition before the Prince of WaleB, and recommends it highly as a lowi¬ 
ng piece, as do also Ira Paino and other noted shots.

Whipple. One large octavo volume. 773 pages. 
Price. $11. 
The publisher's have done a great thing for the 
young men of to-day in presenting to them in 
accessible form the great speeches of Daniel 
Webster. Savo the numerous extracts in school 
readers and speakers and the six large volumes 
of his “works" edited by Edward Everett, the 
former meagre and unsatisfactory, the latter 
too expensive for general possession, no means 
have been afforded to the student of making 
himself familiar with the English of this master 
of prose. The book now before us fills this want. 
No understanding of the momentous history of 
our republic can. be complete without an 
quaintanco with the forensic debates of our 
statesmen. The value of this publication, botb 
historical and rhetorical, cannot be overesti¬ 
mated.
