IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The Editor desires to call attention to the fact - that all photographs of prisoners in custody, trans- mitted to the Convict Branch of the Metropoli- tan Police Office, for purposes of identification, are seen by the police and warders who visit all prisoners under remand, in the Metropolitan Police District three times a week. This system, esta- blished in 1879, has been the means of ascertaining the previous convictions of 7000 prisoners, and affords great facilities to Chief Officers of Police, and the Governors • of Her Majesty's Prisons. Such photographs are also compared with the albums in the Convict Office con- taining the portraits of all Convicts liberated in the Kingdom, which are further open to the personal - examination of any police officer or warder. IDENTIFICATION OF BODIES. UNCLAIMED The attention of the Editor has been directed to the want of any system existing for the publication of descriptions of dead bodies coming into the hands of Police, and which are buried without having been iden- ' titied. It having been suggested that the particulars should be inserted in the POLICE GAZETTE, the Editor will be glad to print any information which it may be ^ considered desirable to publish.

METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 69.— The special attention of Police is called to the proceedings of a man calling himself A. DE L. BEL- MONTf; of No. 35, Great Percy- street, Percy Circus, London. His method is to advertise for lady artistes to assist in executing large orders for Christmas, Easter> wedding, and menu cards, giving a number and the office of the newspaper containing the advertisement as the address to apply for particulars. Lady appli- cants in reply receive a circular, headed " Royal Art Studio, Great Percy- street," holding out that from 15s. to six guineas per dozen cards might be realised, and stating terms of employment as £ 1 lis. 6d., a charge intended to cover the usual copies, postage on, or in parcels, as well as instruction in Floral Illuminating. Upon work being executed and sent him under these terms, all efforts to obtain payment from Belmonte have been unsuccessful. There is no doubt that the " Royal Art Studio " is a sham. In the event of its being known to Police that any persons have been defrauded by Belmonte, it is requested that the particulars may be forwarded to J. Monro, Esq., Assistant Commissioner, with a view to proceedings being taken against Belmonte, who is known to Metropolitan Police. 60.— The special attention of Police is directed to a young German, whose practice is to call at houses and obtain money by false representations. Description, short, slight figure, very dark, appa- rently short- sighted ; dress, dark brown clothes, round hat, carries a cane. Speaks little English ; eager, excit- able manner. States he is known to Herr Pauer and Pro fessor Blackie ; has been employed in the Strauss Orchestra, and requires a loan for the purpose of proceeding to an engagement as violinist in Scotland. Also that his parents were burnt in the disaster at the Ring Theatre, Vienna. May be recognised by a habit of seizing repeatedly and kissing the hand of the person he is addressing, or from whom he may have obtained money. 61.— The attention of Police is called to an ad- vertisement which appears in various papers as fol- lows :— " Violin for sale, rich tone, labelled ' Antonius Straduarius, Cremona, 1690'; good bow, lock- up case ; 25s. The lot may be had on approval." The object of this advertisement is clearly to mis- lead unwary people into the belief that they may buy a particular violin as advertised, and that such violin has the name of " Straduarius " on it. The fact is that hundreds of these violins are manu- factured, and the label " Antonius Straduarius," ifcc., is affixed by the seller, who has appeared under the address of " Clara, 37A, Theobalds- road, W. C.," and recently " Mr. Bennett, Ramsbury House, Cardigan- road, St. Albans." It is doubtful whether a prosecution for fraud would succeed, but the advertisement is undoubtedly meant to deceive, and, as a matter of fact, deceives many.

In these days of electrical quackery it is nighly satisfactory to find that an enter- prise for the development of electrical manufacture on a large scale has been projected. The public become necessarily the gainers by such enterprise, inasmuch as the aims of a Company, conducted on the auspices of the Medjcal Battery Company, are those of perfecting and extending, by the aid of capital and skilled li-. lxmr, the manufacture of • lectrical appliances as aids to health and to th* cure of disease.

( Late Superintendent X Division Metropolitan Police.) '' Come, for all things are now ready." The invitation is very simple. There is nothing simpler than the Gospel invitation. Why, you re- member the story that our blessed Saviour told us of the marriage feast, and how the messengers were sent out to invite them to the supper 1 They would not come. Why would they not come 1 Did any of them doubt that they were really invited ? Did any of them fail to understand the invitation ? They all knew that they were invited. What is the meaning of in- vited 1 Why, " I will be pleased if you come.' That is not difficult for any one to understand. They made excuses. They had no reasons. " Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." What does that mean! Not to look at the waters, not to argue about the waters, but to drink. Oh ! how simple are the invitations of Christ. There is a story which Mr. McCheyne tells of a little boy. One Sunday even- ing, after having been in the church and heard the Gospel preached, when he came home, and before he went to bed, he said to his sister, " And there's me come awa' again without Christ." He understood what is meant by an invitation. He felt that he ought to have taken hold of Christ then and there, when Christ was preached to the sinner, and that he had neglected it again. " I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."— 2 Cor. xi. 3. EPPS'S GRATEFUL- COMFORTING.
