Many have wht that not a few of these auxiliaries were becoming entirely too independent. Hence Dr. Mere- dith’s resolution, which was introduced for the purpose of compelling these auxiliaries to return to the parent society or become entirely distinct organizations.

Deputy Clerk Columbus Harper of the Police Court played the part of an officer of the law yesterday afternoon, and his first victim was convicted and sentenced. He was on 7th street when his attention was attracted toa crowd, the central figure of which was a colored youth named Lewis West. The boy had suatched a pocket book from a lady, and when cornered he threw the pocket book into a doorway and then attempted toescape. When Mr. Harper reached the crowd he recognized the boy as having been before the court on previous occasions for similar offenses. Before Judge Miller today the boy was tried for larceny, and the jury re- turned a verdict of guilty. Lawyer Bacon, who defended, plead for the boy's release, his own recognizance to be taken, ashe thought another chance would benefit him. The boy's mother alko appeared and ‘Plead for her son, making all xorts of prom{scs, vat Judge Miller, after referring to the boy's previous record, said that the community bad some rights in the matter anid wax entitled to protection. By releasing the boy, the judge said, it would only put him where he could continue to rob persons of their hard-earned money. The judge added that he bad turned a uumber of boys over to their mothers, and almont every one of them had returned instead of doing better. The only thing the court could do under the cicamstances was to send him where he gould learn a trade and probably go forth in the world an honest man unde! circumstances that would give him every op- portunity to become a useful citizen. He was ‘seutenced to the reform school. pier aera ALEXANDRIA, THE FLAG CONTROVERSY.
