CHARITY THROUGH THE POLICE. | How It ts Accomplished and the Distribu- tion Made Since New Year. “In the course of twenty-four hours the police in the District of Columbia come in contact with 25,000 or more people—the good, bad and indifferent, the rich and the poor—and it is but reasonable to believe that they become ac- quainted with nearly all eases of poverty and want,"said Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police de- partment to a Stax reporter yesterday. “Those families or individuals in want whom they do make their conditions known. For some years | a small proportion of the amount appropriated by Congress for charitable purposes in the Dis- trict has bten set aside by the Commissioners to aid the suffering poor reported by the | lice. This amount has never exceeded 22,000, | and in Jatter years it has averaged much less than that. Within the past year and a half, in addition to the allotment from the congress sional appropriation, the interest on the cen- | tennial inangural fund (that sum of money | which was donated by the last inaugural com- mittee) has been applied to the same object. CHARITADLE SYSTEMS ELSEWHERE. “This work of charity is not generally incum- | they generaily having charitable organizations, conducted without expense, which look after the unfortunate. For exainple, St. Louis has its ‘Provident Association,” ‘conducted by ja board of charitable —_gentiemen who ea thels | time and | services to carr’ out the purposes the name would indicate. When the winter season comes | around they call upon the charitably disposed | merchants and others for contributions for the poor and the response comes in the way of pro- visions and money. They have a ware house in charge of = an_—_attend- lant and deserving families are given orders for what they may need. The citizens generally are supplied by the association with ts ofaconvenient size tocarry in the d when a family or individual asks aid upon the public street one of these | tickets is handed the applicant, and it answers as an introduetion to those having the disposal of the funds and stores of the asso- |ciation. A wood yard is conducted | where contributions of fuel are hauled, and a | mau in want, if physically able, is paid for half | a day's or a day's service in sawing and split- | tressed families. All demands made upon the police are likewise referred to the associa- tion for aid. THE POLICE METHOD IN THIS CITY. “In this city,” he continued, “the police de- partment is the only institution which fur- nished assistance to the poor without a cost for distribution. The method pursaed is perhaps not generally understood by the public. It is this: “If an officer while patroling his bent dis- covers an unfortunate in need he makes a thor- ough examination of the case and then reports to his commanding lieutenant whether it is de- serving or not, and if the report is favorable an order is then issued on a convenient grocery or wood yard for what may be required, the total mount not exceeding a doliar or two. accord- ing to the conditions surrounding the case. The following is a copy of the order: No. 45. Wasurxatox, D. C., February 7, 1891. Se Please deliver we Smith or bearer groceries to the amount resi- dence. , and charge to the Fourth ypolitan Police Precinet. Metroy “This is signed by the lieutenant, and upon delivery of the articles that may be selected by the applicant the order is receipted. At the end of the month the merchant renders an ac- count, which is substantiated by the orders he has obtained, to the police department, where | at is from the charity fund and then for- warded to the auditor of the District and the treasury of the United States for final adjudica- tion and settlement. DISTRIBUTION SINCE JANUARY 1. “Since January 1, 1890, 1,345 orders of this character have been given to the poor by the police lieutenants, 376 individuals have been furnished a small cash donation, relieving in the aggregate about 7,991 persons, at an ex- pense of £4,927, £327 of which was contributed in the winter of 1890 and $200 in the winter of 1891 by public-spirited citizens of Wi ‘The covered by this expenditure was one year and three mon’ “It us fortunate,” concluded the chief clerk, “that the season of the year has come when the demands for charity comparatively cease, as the funds available are about exhausted, and to extend further relief another appropriation | will be necessary, unless the superintendent of the department furnishes it from his own pocket, as he often does in extreme cases.” gee Keep to the Right. | To the Editor of The Evenins Star: | A young lady bicyclist was canght between a | street car going up and s heavily Inden two- | horse wagon coming down 9th street near K | northwest about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She maneuvered her iron steed with remark- | able skill and coolness, balancing herself on a | motionless machine, as the two vehicles threat- ened her on either side, thus saving her life, although the machine was crushed under the heavy wheels of the wagon. She had just trnéd into 9th street from K and was on ‘the right side of the street, while the wagon was coming down on the wrong side. ‘The car pre- vented her from getting entirely clear of the approaching wagon. Accidents of this nature would be less frequent if it were made an abso- lute lnw, enforceable by the police at all times, instead of merely a general rule, that vehicles should keep the right side of the street. Ex- pecially is this neo@ssary on all car-line streets, because of the narrow space on either side. In view of the fact that so many ladies ride bicy- cles the subject is worthy of serious attention. To the credit of the driver of the wagon it should be stated that he voluntarily stopped to ascertain what damage had been done. Ax Eve Wirsess. pee ‘Mr. Tanner's Denial.

A Pleasant Visit to Baltimore—A Parade, ‘Test of Engines and a Banquet. Asstated in Tux Stan of yesterday, the Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association of | the District leftat noon to participate in the | parade and test of hand engincs with the Balti- | more veteransin that city. On arrival there at | 1 o'clock they were received at Camden depot and escorted todinner. The line was formed | bent upon the police force of different citics, | ting the wood, which is afterward sent to dis- | at 2:30 Welock, moved at 3 o'clock and the display made was a handsome one, the Balti- | moreans turning out in force, drawing by hand | their hose carriage, and having several hand | engines in line drawn by horses, one of whi: | was assigned to the Washington vets to work at | the test. It was about 5 o'clock when the Wash- | ington monument on north Charles street was | reached and there was a dense, crowd assem- | bled there. The Washington association, headed | by Kit Carson Drum Corps, murshaled’ by Mn Jobn W. Thompson, with a number of non-u formed members and the ofticers--J. H. Rich- ards, president: Godwin Pic ice president; veabody and A alins John Miller and Danie! | bearers—on the right of the line, attracted much attention on the route,as also in the test. THE TEST AT THE 3ONUMENT. The summit of the monument was not reached by either association in the test. There was oply ‘slight difference in the heights | thrown, the Baltimoreans having the ad- | vantage, as from the station of the Washington | men the mnd had its effect. Both sid aimed the victory and the Washington m were allowed to take the brooms. fhe test between the gallery engines was brought to a close by an accident to the Baltimoreans—-the goose neck of their engine blew off and twoof three men were thrown off to the ground, fall- ing backward. These were G. F. Fooks and Hugh L. MeAvoy and the latter was quite seriously injured. Returning to the headquarters of the asso ciation on Cortlandt street a rest was taken till 7:30 o'clock, when a bountiful repast was served. | trol , engine TOASTS AND SPEECHES. Then came toasts, speeches and songs, Messrs, Lawrence Clark of the Fireman's Herald, New York; Chas. T. Holloway, presi- dent, and Ben Isreal of the Baltimore vets, J. J. Peabody, W. P. Brown, President Ric ards, Lieut. John P. Kelly, F. Mohler, James Ragan and others made remarks, and’ Messrs, Peabody, Isreal and C. Furtner sang sevoral of the old-time songs. Mr. Thompson spoke of the kindly feelings existing between the two associations and be- spoke for the Baltimore association a hearty welcome by the Washington vets and the ple when they shall come down to assist in the formal opening of their headquarters, the old Union engine house. . President Holloway expressed for his asso- ciation the pleasure of having the Washington aseociation with them, and assured the mem- bership a hearty welcome at any time. Lieut. Kelly assured the Baltimore vets of a safe escort through the sixth precinct at any time, and gave the following toast: ‘The Old Firemen’s Union, for in their Union is Harmony, Good Will and Friendship; with these United there is Perseverance, and’ they were always Vigilant and Independent, Mr. Isreal, Mr. Ragan and Mr. F. Mohler of the old union each spoke in a happy strain. FIREMEN IN ANCIENT ROME, ‘Mr. Peabody in the course of his remarks, said that firemen were known in ancient times and two centuries before the Christian era we find in Pliny’s letters that a body of firemen was established in Rome, and he says these ai cient firemen frequently created dissensions and tumult. After a fire in Nicodemia he writes to the emperor to consider whether it may not be advisable to form firemen of 150 members and says: “I will take care none but those of that business be ad- mitted into it, as this corporate body will be Testricted too small a body it will be easy to keep them under proper regulation ‘Trojan writes to Pliny in answer: “But it is to be remembered that societies of this sort have greatly disturbed the peace of the prov- ince in general and of those cities in particular. Whatever name we give them and for whatever 1 they may be instituted they will not fail to form themselves into factions assemblies, however short their meetings may be. It will therefore be safe to provide such machines as are of service in extinguishing fires,enjoining the owners of houses to assist in preventing the mischief from spreading, and, if it should be necessary, to call in the populace.” ‘The di tion to procure machines as of service in extin- ing fires was in consequence of Nicodemin, jut, fortunately for the eee of information of fire engines, Pliny again writes to ‘Trojan that “while making progress in a different part of the province # destructive fire occurred in Nicodemin, which was not provided with fire engines, buckets, or a single implement to ex- tinguish fires, but which | have now given order to provide.” ie had read these extracts, he said. to show that their old calling was un ancient one, and from the tenor of these quotations the ancient firemen and the old volunteers were much the same in some respects at least. Under the escort of their Baltimore friends the Washington vets took up the line of march to Camden street depot at 10:30 o'clock and at 11 started for home, arriving about 12:20, after a most pleasaut time. ———— Blackbeard.

A bold burglary was committed at an early hour Sanday morning, at the wholesale and retail grocery store of Jos. B. Dyer, No. 8480 M street, and goods enough to start a small store were taken away. It was late Saturday night when the store was closed and the burglars made their call soon after midnight. An entrance was effected two men engaged in the robbery. Each of the burglars must have made several trips to the store, as the goods recovered were enough to fill'an ordinary wagon. Policeman Grealy was walking along Grace street about 3 o'clogk in the morning when he noticed a colored man with several bundles going in the direction of Cissel’s alley aud he stopped him for an explanation of his presence on. the strect at that hour with a minature grocery store on his shoulders and in his hands. ‘The negro proved to be Ed- ward Brent. He had two sacks of flour, some meat and other articles in a bag, and the _— officer _~—_suapected that he came by them in a manner that was not honest. In order that his conduct might be fully investigated the officer locked him up as a suspicious person and then visited ~ the house in Cissel’s alley where Brent lived. ‘There the officer found the other groceries and had them taken to the police station, where Mr. Dyer identified them, An inspection of the store showed that they had ken something of almost everything in the store except thatacan of dynamite was not touched. Brent was then charged with house- breaking and yesterday he was photographed for the rogues’ gallery. ‘The case was taken’ to the Police Court, but as the gonds were not there for identilication the case went over. When the case was called in the Police Court Mr. Dyer identified the property aud Brent was held in $500 bail for the grand jury. Sega A USURER'S HOUSE WARMING. How German Officers Got Into Disgrace Owing to Their Impecuniosity. A Berlin special, March 29, says: The kaiser and his military council have before them a long list of officers of high and low de- gree who recently appeared in full uniform at a ball given at the housewarming of a usurer named Abrahams. latter's new palatial residence has been built up on the ruined careers of a host of young aristocrats and army men, and Abrahams, who is a very smart man, thought the time had arrived when his daugh- ter might aspire to a position in society among Indies of rank. ‘To set the ball rolling Abrahams called upon each of his debtors and under promise of grehter leniency or further advances, as the case might be, induced them to appear at his ball im full uniform, which they are only allowed to wear at great court receptions, when infantry officershave to appear in white woolen rymen with the broad stripes y worn only by generals. : It was, he said, for the purpose of meeting some friends from the country who had never seen such a spectacle and had to be obliged, as they were the real bankers in money-lending matters, When the officers arrived they found the honse lit up and swarming with hired wait- ers, many of whom they had met before at popular restaurants. They also encountered to their surprise, a number of comrades and, in many cases, superiors, though each of them had been asstired that he was the only invited army man. BA et as Abrahams received thom with a big diamond on his unusually clean shirt front and a smile two yards wide, assuring his friends that it was only’ a little joke after all. i A At the dinner the highest in social rank among the officers were -placed_ next to Abra- hams’ daughter, while mother Abrahams was attended by a real live price—who holds an im- portant command in the bodyguard of hussars. Aside from Abrabams female relations there were a number of young and pretty women, made kuown only by their Christian names. Like the waiters, ‘ess ‘were, however, not total sf ers to their cavaliers, being habitual fre- quenters of that part of Friedrich Strasso, where they are tolerated by the police.

W. T. D. Clemza against the action of the Maryland University Law School in excluding two colored mon from attendance at the lec- tures, The report of the committee was to the effect that such matters came within legitimate scope of the union. The report was adopted. Key. Dr. Clemm said he rojoiced that the golored man had been vindicated. He in- tended, he said, to agitate the matter until the colored man had his rights at the Maryland Law School. He had consulted eminent law- Zor# and he had learned from them that the Ww school, by excluding the colored man, was violating the Constitution and thervby forteit- ing its charter. Colored men were allowed to sit in Congress, in church conferences and in other places, and it was sheer nonsense for a law school to shut its doors in their faces be- cause of the objection made to their company by a few dudes from the south. Rev. W. M. Alexander of the Baptist church, colored, thanked the committee for the repor presented, stating that it would be an encour- agement to the colored man, and that ii terve notice on those who were inclini hhold the colored man's rights that he had powerful and influentia ox: suarerer Stabbed at His Own Door.

Most of the ladies, he said, were personal acquaintances of liis daughter and only a few stray ones had been procured at the lust moment ‘at the in- stance of the headwaiter to take the “place of those who were prevented from fulfilling their engagements, Besides,” concluded the wily Abrahams, with a smile, “those gentlemen who object to my hospitality are at liberty to withdraw, but must beware of the consequences.” ‘The threat worked like a charm, and the poor, deluded victims had to bear their disgrace. The ordeal lasted for four hoursand concluded with chanalian scene after the officers had suc- in drowning their mortification by y potations. After the feast they were ked into second-class cabs, provided by homes. The whole thing got abroad through the in- discretion of the hired waiters as well as the boasting of one of the Misses Abrahams, who appeared at the kaiser's Inst gala night at the royal opera and familiarly greeted a lieutenant colonel in his majesty’s suite. About twenty-five officers are implicated in the affair, some of them personal friends of the emperor, others distinguished by birth or cial talent. The deliberations of the military council will probably result in saving these gentlemen from being degraded by rearrang- ug their tinancial affairs and at the same time giving them wholesome lesson. Abrahams will be prosecuted for usury if that can be done without damaging the reputation of his victims. ——- The Women Indorse Gen. Morgan.
