—* ¢ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1890-TWELVE PAGES. PEACE AT THE CAPITOL Blue-Coated Guardians of the Big White Building. DUTIES OF THE WATCHMEN. Captain Allabach and His Watchful Force—Where They Are Stationed— What They Must Prevent Visitors From Doing. ns LUE-COATED, brass-buttoned, more than ordinarily fine looking as a whole; polite at all times and men of much patience. That is a composite picture of the Capitol police force, the men who watch over the immense building in which two great branches of the government—the legislative and judicial—are located. No small task is it to guard the Capitol, and yet a com- paratively small number of active men by dint of constant exertion succeed in doing it. Not so well, probably, as it would be done were the number of officers twice as great as it is, but still it is done well, and that fact reflects much credit on the guardians of congressional and Supreme Court peace. THE CAPITOL POLICE FORCE consists of a captain, three lieutenants and twenty-one officers. They were not always as numerous, and the memory of man goes back to the time when a solitary watchman tried to | do the work which is now really too much for | & score of men to do. The duties of the police | are constantly being added to, and in a little while the force will have to be increased. ‘There are three reliefs of seven men each when all are in good trim and fit for duty. and each of these reliefs is commanded by a lieutenant, Eight hours is the limit of each man’s daily duty, except on some special occasion, when all the arailable repression is needed. What ex- tremes cf activity and calm fall to the lot of these officers. During the second relief of the day busy thousands—some following their le- gitimate callings, others merely sightseers— bustle noisily or saunter quietly through the jorsand committee rooms. A hundred s visitors ask a thoysand odd questions and keep the officers fully engaged. Some- body loses a pocketbook or achild or some other portable article of greater or less value and the police are at once appealed to. “Where ean I get a drink of water?” is acommon query, but hardly more frequent than “Will you please tell me how I can get out of here?” WHERE THEY ARE STATIONED, iceman always sits in the immediate of the main door of the Senate and an- other one does similar service near the House main door, while it would be as easy to find London bridge without a white horse. on it as it would be to cross the rotanda without en- countering one or wore of these servants of the law, as found in an act approved July 1, 2882. With the ebbing and flowing of the hu- man tide itis not difficult to pass away eight hours, but time hangs with a good deal of heaviness upon the hands of those whose turn it is to go upon the evening watch. Darkness settles down around and inside of the great structure and instead of being a lively center of peripatetic population all is somnolent calm. No living thing save a distant fellow-officer or the lieutenant making his rounds disturbs the almost unbearable monotony of rarely fractured silence. DOWN IN THE CRYPT the illumination is simply the cause of a shadow but a trifle lighter than the heavy blackness on the leeward of the big pillars: on the main floor things are brighter but searcely more somnus-chasing than in cellar. The still- ness is oppressive, and when it is broken by a footstep, a cough or a sneeze. the sound is magnified a hundred times and its echoes con- tanue as far as walls and doors will permit. ‘There is no less of monotony for the third relief, but there is more of light, for the sun ps in at the eastern windows and its rays swiitly oust the lurking shadows from a good many of the corners; but not from all, for there are ma and corridors in the big right is unknown. Occa- sionally there is an additional officer around during the extremely early morning. but he never announces his coming. It is Capt. Alla- bach. who has deserted his warm bed to visit the various posts and to see who is or is not “hoodling.” Very rarely is a policeman found asleep or otherwise neglectful of his duty and the captain says: “Ihe present force is the best body of men I ever had here.” CAPT. ALLABACE knows what he is talking about. His experience onthe force dates its commencement from 1880. when he relieved Capt. Blackford of the command, The captai a veteran of two wars. fi in the third in- rvice and he partici- | nt in that little inter- {co with the exception of Buena Vista. When the rebellion broke out the oid soldier again stepped to the front. this | 1 of the one hundred and thirty- | via volunteers. Here he did! ood service and for « time commanded a rigade of Pennsylvanians under Gen. A. A. Humpbrers. Capt. Allabach (for his present position b iced his title a step or two) is | er and a popular gentleman, especial daty of the police is to enforce | the law regulating behavior in the Capitol and | the use of the Capitol grounds. There is a re- inforcement of eight watchmen who do duty outside tue building, and although the Interior Department pays their sala: ‘of $900 each, they are reckoned as of the Capitol guards and controlled by Cap. Allabach, From 6 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. there are at least four watch- men on duty in the grounds, but during tho hours when watchmen are supposed tobe most nentire absence of patrol- one of the city officers strolls through the grounds, and that is all the protection afforded the traveling public that Eas to cross the big reservation. WHAT IS FORBIDDEN. Maultifarious are the duties of these watch- men. The bumble citizen and the lordly mil- | lionaire must alike keep off the grass; rapid Griving is not permi cd, nor can any one lega por climb upe2, remove or in any Way injure amy statue, seat, wall or other erec- tion, or any tree, shrub, plant or turf. It is also forbidden to offer or expose any article for sale; to display any sign, placard o: other form | Wertisement; to solic:t fares, alms, sub- scriptions oc contributions, Tke law also de- clares that goods or merchandise not going to or from the Capitol or government service shail not be conveyed through the grounds. In vari- ous ways some of these regulations are violated so far as the grounds are concerned. Two of the roadways are regular public thorough- fares and the butebers and bakers and grocery- men use them with as |i they do the common streets backmen who — posts of houor in the vi- einity of Greenough's marble representation of George Washington preparing for a much-| needed bath solicit fares quite frequently, but | the police do all they posatbly can to discour- age such enterprise. The statute 1s severe on those who make harancues or orations or utter loud, threatening or abusive language; but the law has never been enforced against newly elected Presidents. ‘The President of the Sen- ate and the Speaker of the Honse have invari- ably suspended that particular prohibition on Se as the swearing-in of a new ' j arrived. Owing to this st: Capt. Allabach are the three lieutenants. The senior of these by length of service is D. B. Bradley. Lieut. Bradley was born in Crawford county, Pa, in 1835, but his earlier recollec- tions are al exclusively of Wisconsin, to which place he was removed when quite young and from whence he went south in 1861 asa Union soldier. For more than three years he wore the blue and fought the rebellious and when the ife was over he settled down. as many a northern soldier did, in Virginia. During the Forty-third Congress he was ap inted to a position in the Senate post office. le was given his present place in 1884, LIEUT. 8. W. BAXTER isa Vermonter. He commenced to reside in the Green Mountain State in 1839 and was still residing in it when the sixth Vermont regiment was mustered in. With that regiment he left tate and for three years did all one man could do to settle the question of supremacy. Twice was he wounded, once when in the Wil- derness fight and again at Gettysburg. In 1967 he was appointed on the Capitol force by B. B. French, the commissioner of public buildings and grounds. For ten years did Mr. Baxter do police duty and then he resigned to go west, | On the Ist of December, 1839, he was reap- pointed and made licutenant. LIFUT. JAS. W. JONES comes from the land of blue grass and “blue ruin,” having been born near Brownsville, Edmonson county, Ky., on January 21, 1846. Seven years later he moved with his parents to Illinois and was one of the youngsters who re- sponded to the federal government's appeal for troops during the rebellion. In 1S¢6 Lieut. Jones moved to Iowa and there pursued the peaceful occupations of agriculturist and stock | raiser until 1553, when he was appointed a pri- vate on the Capitol police force. This he held with such credit that January 1 last he was pro- moted to a lieutenancy. There is a great need for additional men. New committee rooms have been provided for both Senate and House under the west terrace, but there are no officers who can be spared to do duty in their vicinity. No extra help can be secured unless Congress appropriates the money therefore and there are no indications of any such action. For a couple of days in the heat of inauguration times fifty extra officers are put in service, but that is the only extra force allowed. ‘The following is a roster of the force resent constituted: Jos.

The Value Some of Them Place on the Requirements of the Situation. “Sailors are the bravest fellows in the world,” seid a naval officer toa Star reporter the other day, ‘and the most remarkable liars. No reliance whatever is to be placed upon the testimony of some of them as to facta,even under oath. Just to illustrate it I'll tell youa little story about an incident that came under my own immediate observation. “I was a lieutenant on board the United States ship Atlanta, six years ago, when the captain of the vessel sent a boat ashore, in | cbarge of Midshipman Smith, to fetch off the chaplain. The chaplain was delayed on some account, and the bout waited a couple of hours atthe dock. Smith was an easy-going sort of fellow and he made no bones of letting the coxswain go ashore and buy a bottle or two of rum, which the men consumed, the result be- ng that they all were half-seas-ove: A DISASTER For when the chaplain at last did come—the tide had fallen two or three feet—he found it diffi- cult to make his way down the slippery steps from the dock to the boat, and the coxswain | helping him the wrong way, he fell sonse into | the water and was dragzed out like a drowned rat. “In consequence of this incident, on the chap- laia’s complaint, Midship! martialed, among the serious bodied in the indictment ag conduct unbecoming an officer, versive of discipline, neglect of duty, &c. To begin the proceedings, when the trial came on, the coxswain of the boat was called and the judge advocate said: *"What’ your name? sill Bobstay, sir.” ‘Your occupation?” “ ‘Able seaman, sir.” PUT ON OATH. “Do you solemnly swear to tell this court the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about this case?’ ‘1 do, sir.” “Kiss the book. Now. tell me, did you act as coxswain of the second cutter of the United States ship Atlanta on the afternoon of May 16, 1883, when that boat was sent ashore under command of Midshipman Smith to fetch the chaplain of the vessel?’ did, sir.’ ‘Well, then, tell the court precisely what happened on that expedition. leaving out no detail; and remember that you are on your solemn oath, so help you God.” he judge advocate sat down, and the boat- Swain transferred an unusually large quid of navy plug from his right cheek to his left. “* ‘You see, sir,’ he said, ‘it was this way: The second cutter went ashore for the parson, but he wasn't on time. We waited and waited at the dock, but not a sign of him turned up. So finally I said to this young gen’l'm’n here, Mr. Smith, touchin’ my cap: ‘Please, sir, may we go ashore and get a little something to drink, just to pass the time?” And Mr. Smith, sayshe: “Cox'n, I am astonished that you should make such an insolent request; it would serve vou right if I reported you to the captain, Pull that starb'd oar further aft.” THE AFFAIR EXPLAINED. “ ‘The time went on and still no parson—not awhite choker nor so much asa seedy black weskit. 1 was gettin’ awful dry, and at last I says, says I: “Mr. Smith, would you give me permission to go ashore myself alone and wet my whistle; Tifbe back inside of ten minutes.” But Mr. Smith flies in a rage at that—yes, sir, I remember that [mon oath—and he says, rays he: ‘You infernal scoundrel"—it was me he was alludin’ to—“I'll have you put in irons for —— ,impudence when we get back to the “So I didn’t get anything to drink, aud I was just feelin’ sorry for havin’ been so cheeky wheu who should come down the dock but the parson—the chaplain, I mean, sir—reeling drunk. He was so loaded that he missed his footin’ on the steps, and d——n me if he didn’t goker-slosh into the water—which was just as well, perhaps, for he was sobered uj (oe time we fished him out. And that’s all I know about the affair, so help me.’" « Gen. J. C. Fremont is mob of ill. Gen.

This is the case especially in the Catholic and Episcopal churches, in which the day is kept with the ceremony due to a fes- tival regarded as the most important in the Christian calendar, though in many other churches of the city special programs of music have been arranged. Easter is a great musical festival, and the choirs, augmented in many cases for the occasion, will vie with one another in rendering appropriate selections from the Great composers who have given musical ex- Pression to the spirit of Easter.

AN RASTER ENTERTAINMENT. Pretty entertainment for Easter week be a progressive whist party, with the Prizes symbolical of the season. Six prizes are the usnal number, three for ladies, of course, and three for gentlemen. For the first ladies’ prize a pretty fancy would be to have one of the small satin covered bon bon boxes in the shape of an egg. On opening this it is found to serve as a jewel case, and on a bed of soft cotton is lying a forget-me-not ring for the little fin; Another satin egg jewel case would bold as a pnze for the winning man scarf pin of some novel design in old silver or dull gold. For the second ladies’ prize have a very large satin covered egg which is bon bon box and is filled with tions, For the gentleman a somewhat smaller egg is discovered to be a case for cigars, which is well stocked with the proper contents. For the last and lowest prizes, which always sug- gest the misfortunes of the winners, let the satin eggs contain each merely a card purport- | ing to be that of a professor of whist, givi | hours, terms, &c., and intimating that Fee | Pains will be taken for perfecting in the svience pupils of extraordinary dullness and asking for | an appointment to wait on Miss Blank and Mr | Blank, the names being hastily supplied jost before the prizes are distributed as svon as the | fortunes of the game are known, } FOR THE SCORE cards have an egg-shaped double card of waters color paper folded at the end. When this ia | opened the score and other arrangements for | the game are disclosed. The outside is painted slightly to imitate the convexity of an egg and | email — with cord are attached. aS of At the table a pretty way to serve the ices would be to have them in the form of an egg | in a small nest of spun sugar. or they might be heaped together ona large platter all in a spun | r nest and served from there. For novelty bon bon dishes might be the email bisque Kens, which open in half and which could be scattered about the table, filled with con- fectionery, almonds and glace fruits. Individ- ual taste might add other ideas to these sug- gestions and a little variety given to such @ card party. AMONG LITTLE NOVELTIFG for Easter, or equally suitable for name card ata luncheon for instance, are roses cut out of water-color paper. These are doubled at one of the petals and painted white, pink or yellow. according to fancy, on each side.
