REPORT OF JUDGE SNELL—WHY THE REVENUES HAVE DECREASED—RECUMMENDATIONS AND 8UG- GESTIONS. Saturday last Judge Snell, of the Police Court, Inade the following report to the District Com- missioners: “* While the Police Court has been the source of considerable revenue in the past, the receipts from fines have been decreasing, and it may be Well to refer to the several obvious reasons for thls result. 1. There are fines imposed amply sufficient to yield ajarge revenue. During the current year the amount imposed in District and United '§ cases Exceeded $34,000, This would have afforded a net revenue of €20,000, as expenses of the court are not $1,600 per month, as stated in ‘THE Star of yesterday, but much below that figure. What are the causes of non-payment of fines? 1, poverty of criminals. The war left the poor criminal classes possessed of some money. This 1s now gone. Employment fur. nished means for some time; the largest recelpts have always been in the summer months, when there was plenty of work. Wuen there 1s no work, a poor man tined for disorderly conduct goes to prison. = 2. Diniinution of drunkenness and disorder therefrom. Thave had 130 eases on the sth of July 5 and so Christmas and New Year's merning. Dut now boat races and fair days,only add a few cases. Ihad on the occasion of the Hanlon and Courtney race but one person sibly affected by drink on the pubite strects, When 60,000 persons Were out to witness the Scene. My table used to be covered with razors and pistols in the morntng—they are now rarely Seen. The rigid enforcement of the statutes against, second offence of petit larceny, has thinned out the crowd of thieves, and they are largely represented at Albany. Crime. has Steadily decreased in Washington during the last ten years; pickpockets, burglars, rapers and murderers are promptly tried and when guilty convicted and punished. Auother cause of diminution of receipts is a Perversion of a United States statute designed to relieve United States criminals of revenue of- fenses, when large fines are imposed.

BENSON'S OAPCINE POROUS PLASTER is the only improvement ever made on the old style of Porous Plasters. It contains an entirely com- bination of active vegetable ingredients to which ite superiority oyer common Porous Plasters and its remarkable pain-relieving, strengthening, and curative properties are dus. CAUTION, To protect the public against imitations, counterfeits and fraud, we caution all pur- chasers to see that the word Capcine on each plaster is correctly spelled, and we specially caution all against accepting worthless plasters called by similar sound- ing names when the the genuine are asked for. The fact that BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS are being largely imitated ia the beat guarantee of their genuine merits and the high opinion imitators have of their value.
