Night. Saturday night the Police Court was brightly at 10 o'clock, Judge Miller took his seat on the bench and announced that the court was ready for business. Prosecuting Attorney Shilling- ton entered with a small bouquet pinnedon the lapel of his coat. The same crowd of colored women who are in daily attendance were there, although they were not especially interested in any case. James Collins was the first victim of @ special policeman, When brought into court he took a look at his policeman friend and said: “Guilty, of course.” He was charged with using profane language, for which a fine of 25 or two weeks was imposed. A EALTIMOREAN IN TROUBLE. Adolphus Simons, an aged citizen of Balti- ™more, was next in the dock. He was conscious of the fact that he @as intoxicated, and made that plea in extenuation for the charge of dis- orderly conduct. “Do you think you can take care of yourself to-night?” inquired the court, “Oh, yes, yer’ honor,” he replied, “I have money in my pocket.” “Well, go on,” said the judge. hank yer’ honor,” said Simons, as he made his way out of court.

SEVERAL FAKIRS were tried for obstructing the sidewatk, and the judge discharged them with a warning tobe more careful in the future. W. J.

She was released, Several other cases of drunk and disorderly were tried, but a mejority of them were dis- charged.

Your remarks on private bills in Congress, a majority of which you stigmatize as “moss- backed claims which had their origin in dis honesty or in a diseased imagination,” are to be regretted. Such remarks have the tendency to | justify that selfish hardness of heart so preva- lent “im Congress, rivaling the flint. It is strange that with your unexcelled means of knowing the spirit of our legislation you #0 widely miss the actual fact. The House com- mittee on claims of the last Congress made a careful report on this subject, to which another report from the judiciary committee gave con- firmation. Those reports truly ascribe the fault to Congress totally, which has the power, but lacks the heart to execute what is right between the government and its creditors, Unfortunately this unrighteous spirit has predominated from the start to the present hour.

THE BUILDING ONCE THE PENSION OFFICE NOW THE PALAIS ROYAL. The stately building at the corner of 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue has been made brilliant for several days past with gay-colored bunting and flags. Life-size pictures of Harri- son and Morton, with the inscription, “The Palais Royal welcomes the people's choice,” at- tracts attention, but not more than the sea of faces at the hundred and one windows, among them over two hundred clerks of the store, who cheered as enthusiastically for Har- rison as did six hundred government clerks for General Garfield, just éight years ago to-day. How time flies! and what changes it brin; Those who have not visited the city since Gat field's inauguration find great changes, and not least, many new, beautiful and extensive busi- ness houses. In the Palais Roval proprietor we have, per- haps, the only illustration of a shop-keeper ousting the government. The conversion of the pension office to a store has been so com- plete that only the lofty trescoed ceilings and e beautiful marble fioors will be recognized. Midway between floor and ceiling is a unique display of the stock in trade, presenting a medley of color and form truly bewildering. Just now the store is an object lesson in new | | spring styles. Handkerchiefs with band borders, “made to be worn with the new style dress goods, are folded in all manners of shapes, the display extending the entire side of one store, ‘To the right the newly-imported parasols with their quaint, long handles are invisibly suspended in the air, The laces form a filmy cloud of black, white and colors, and, seemingly, are floating over one’s head, while the display of jewelry twinkles and sparkles like so many thousand stars, Ingenious methods of displaying gloves. hosiery, dress goods and trimmings, boots an shoes will please and puzzle. Then there are leather goods, dolia, ribbons,embroideries; and upstairs, the department for babies and chi n, Here, too, are the new spring wraps for Jadiee and children, also underwear, corsets, . | The many different departments are, virtu- ally; so many separate stores, for each has its ee or buyer, who, by devoting his en thought to but one branch of the business, at- tains a thorough knowledge of its every de- and thus the most comprehensive stocks are kept of reliable and desirable goods, Very advantageous purchases, also, are possible, be- cause the immense volume of business of the combined departments enables the purchase of goods in wholesale quantities; and when, asis the case with the Palais Royal proprietor, astrictly cash business is done. special discounts are allowed when buying, and small profits are made possible when selling, @ combination of advantages which enable as low prices in Washington as are enjoyed in the large cities. The display of spring styles has been made ‘@ view of asking comparison with the stores of other cities. That the Palais oval is @ beautiful store will not be contradicted. It has indeed been said to be one of the most ar- tistically decorated stores in thé country, A Night Session of the Police Court. WHAT JUDGE MILLER WILL DO TO ACCOMMODATE INAUGURATION VISITORS, Iudgé Miller decided to-day that he would do what he could to avoid a Sunday session of the Police Court, and to that end he decided to hold @ session of the court at 10 o'clock to- night. Before this conclusion was arrived at a number of suggestions weré made as to a Sun- day's session. It was intimated that objection might be made in certain quarters, although a Sunday session of the court would be a humane act. ‘The police stations are not large enough to accommodate the persons who are apt to get “run in,” and with two days’ arrests the num- ber will be so large that tie prisoners will have 10 be packed away like sardines, To avoid this it was proposed to hold the session of the court A suggestion was made that the cases be tried in the stations, but Clerk Clagett had objection to holding a “carpet-bag” court, he called it. After the matter had been fally d the court fixed the time for 10 o'clock tomgut gee Treasury Department Changes. ‘The following-named persons, having served & satisfactory probationary term of six months each, have received absolute appointments: Jas.
