To the Etiter of The E¥ening Star: I read with interest a short article from ®@ London paper in Thursday evening's issue of The Star, entitled Muscular Power Producing Food, agree with Dr. and arley as to its sustaining Power. Sugar has been eptly called crys- talllzed sunshine, and the more civilized @ nation the greater amount of sugar con- sumed by {ts people, so that one might fudge of a nation’s progress by its con- Sumption of sugar. But I disprove of crystallized cane sugar in large amount for any length of time, for Feason of its physiological effects upon the system. It, however, is sq necessary to the system that it {s manufactured by the liver from albuminous material when not Supplied to the organism in other forms, but it ts pot crystallized cane sugar, be it un stood, but sugar in the form of glu- cose. Now, this form ofesugar, or glu- cose, exists in sweet fruits naturally, in some of them in large amounts, notably the date, raisin and banana, and in others less quantity, but al ‘3 to some ex- ent. The onion also contains considerable of it, along with a gummy matter which is useful in the same way. This form of sugar needs no digestion, but is assimilated almost as soon as eaten, while in the form of refined or crystallized cano sugar under- | ee a prolonged digestion, and if taken in rge amounts puts @ severe tax upon the Vitality to rid the system of it, and detracts from instead of adding to the muscular strength. There is a large amount of energy stored up in form of glucose in such sweet fruits I have mentioned, and when these are mbined with other suitable foods uilated by the system they afforda Wonderful amount of energy and staying Power for the quantity consumed. Is it eny wonder that the inhabitants of parts of Japan, the Greek porters and water carriers, the muscular Arabs and Hindoo Tunne Md others, perform such feats of strength and endurance and carry the burdens ay they do, endurance and strength that seem§ mé@rvelous to ordinary folks? | I think not, when the quality of the food fg considered.

William Reynolds and George Kidwell yesterday recovered the body of James Bry- ant, the colored man who was drowned the previous day near the causeway connecting Analostan Island with the mainland. The body had ficated over a hundred feet from the spot where it had gone down. Those who secured it had dragged for nearly fif- teen hours. It was taken to the station tn the patrol wagon, and there placed in the morgue. The coroner was notified, and, af- ter hearing evidence and viewing the re- mains, guve e@ certificate of accidental drowning. The appearance of the body in- dicated that death had resulted through a contraction of the muscles or cramps. The remains were turred over to the family of deceased. They Want Electricity. The Georgetewn and Tenleytown railroad are making renewed efforts to get permis- sion, under the charters to supply people along the route with electricity for illumi nating and farming purposes. Mr. Spencer Watkins, an officer of the road, has secured the promise of Senato> A. P. Gorman to as- sist in getting the amendment to the char- ter through. As yet, though, nothing deti- nite has been accomplished in Congress, and the Commissioners are being urged to exert themseives in the bills behalf. In one or cases the Commissioners have granted ial permits to parties, through the ar- nts of attorneys, to secure power from the company. It fs stated, however, that Assistant District Attorney Pugh has con- tended that the Commissioners have no nt such permits. Many appil- made to the The United States Elec- y¥ do not have their pow- er on in Georgetown during the day, and none, Im consequence, can be secured nrough them. A Serious Drought.

He Went to New York and Returned Poorer, but Wiser. George Singerfield, a colored resident of Augusta, Ga., has arrived home from a trip to New York, and his explanation to his wife and the members of the church of which he is a deacon would no doubt make an fateresting stiry. He had answered a “g nd had gone re he thought ‘ortune for his meney, He communicated, he said, with “J. W. Willis, 128 West street, New York,” and met him in South Rethle- hem, Pa. There Deacon Singerfield went through the usual operations. He saw the $6) put fa the satchel and the lock turned. Then he was driven in fine style to the and the usual injunctions not to open the satchel on the train for fear of detec- tion were given. In the hurry he was not given the key. Feeling certain that he had his wealth in the dust” satchel, he started on his way rejoicing. He was on a train that passed through here Wednesday night, the train on which Detectives Horne and Boyd went to Richmond for the al- leged murderers of Henry Brickner, The officers noticed that the colored man seemed more than pleased about something, and he walked from one end of the ear to the other smiling. Finally he walked to the tollet rogm, still with a death-like grip. But when he came out he was without the satchel and the pleased look had turned into one of sorrow and disappointment. He moaned, grunted, and then said, in a stage whisper, “I'm ruined.” He was repeating this when De- tectlve Horne, suspecting the cause of Deacon Singerfield's disappointment, said: “Hello, pap, have you been to New York? “New York?" he muttered, as though just getting out of a trance. “Yes, I've been there and I'm ruine: Then the deacon confessed that he had been swindled to the tune of $200, and he was talking about using his razor on his throat the same as he had used it to open the satchel. “What will I say when I get home?” he asked. And this seemed to bother him, al- though he consoled himself with the state- ment that he wouldn't have gone had tt not been for his wife. “And what will I tell the church people? But I was going to give some of the money to the church to help it out of debt.” This seemed to satisfy his consctence so fat aa the church was concerned, but still he could not tell how he was going to re- cover from the financial embarrassment in which his loss would put him. His house was recently destroyed by fire, so he said, and all the money he had was $100, and he knew he would have to mortgage his house. ‘The detective suggested to him that he say he had been robbed, and that would relleve him of the trouble. A passenger on the train gave the deacon a drink from a flask, and then made him @ present of what was left in the bottle. He was told that better men than himself had been swindled in this way, and he con- cluded that he would go on home, instead of endeavoring to have the thieves appre- hended. ——_— Valuable Tattoo Marks.

Scenes on the Beach Which Interest and Amuse. Correspondence of The Evening Star, ATLANTIC CITY, July 20, 1804. The visitors this week have been favored with more in the social line than at any time previous this season. Scarce one of the larger hotels but what has tendered its patrons several hops and partics, while at the smaller houses all has been life and animation. Pretty maids and gal- {lant men made the hop at the Senate Tues- jday evening one of the principal social events of the season. Among the dancers were Miss Alice Johnson, Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Gertrude Ertel, Miss Wool- man, Miss Bertha Woolman, Misses Purvis, Miss Octavia Stewart, Miss Beba Ballinger, Miss Holt, Miss Laura Warwick, Miss Mat- y, Miss Mein, Miss Lippincott, Misses Norris, Misses Helen and May” Cozins, Messrs. Elwood Bartlett, H. Ellsworth Smith, Lewis Bartlett, W. Sterling Coch- ran, George Batley, Bert Bartlett, H. Cook, G Wood and others. The dance at the Albion the same evening was a pleasant affuir. The large open-air pa- villon was crowded byabout one hundred and fifty merry dancers and a number of spec- tators. Some of those present were Mrs. Hugh Fleming, Miss Mildred Landen, Miss Elizabeth Smith, Miss Laura Zelsing, Miss Pierce, Miss ‘Tillie Grist, Miss Marion Cameron, Miss Blanche Crosscup, Miss Hattie Crosscup, Miss Mellie Showder, Miss J.

Spiser, Among hotel gue: ts there is an amuse- meat known as an “observation party,” a most interesting method of diversion. One ef them was held at Haddon Hall Monday evening, and called into play the retentive power of the memory of a large number of guests of the house, who were allowed a twe minutes’ glance at a table laden down with probably 100 articles, and then wrote a list of what they could remember of them. Handsome prizes went to those with the best’ memory, and were won by Mrs. Strubling and Miss E. Butterworth, and Mr. Butterworth and Chas. Bispham, ssive euchre occupled the time at cobel Wednesday evening. Fir: Second and third prizes on the ladies’ si were won by Miss Ethel Hall, Mrs. C. nd Mrs. G. E.

In not one point does thelr bathing costume vary— white duck trousers, with skirts making valiant but futile efforts to reach to the knee, biack stockings and dark waterproof cap. Neither to the right nor to the left does the Sextet swerve, but con- iv march up the beach, making those obstructing the way get out, or take risk of b are Misses Katherine, Nellie and May Ha the Agnes, fers, and Miss Katherine Madd Philadelphia. Three handsome young members of a theatrical company drew quite a crowd on the beach at South Carolina avenue yes- terday morning by their antics. !n the joy- ousness of their spirits they tried to scrape the cobwebs off the clouds with their pretty toes, but could only get as nigh as the white cap heid by one of the valiant }fe suards. Some one threw water on cne of the girls and before he could get out of te Way, she caught him around the vaist and gave him a good ducking in the water. After that the trio were left strictly alone. In a bevy of merry-making bathers cn the beach, all young women, there was noticed 4 novel adornment appended io cne of the “fixings” which now go with every fin de siecle bathing costume. After taking in a bird's-eye view of her trim, or rather trim- med figure, there was observed that on the garter which held in place the silk hose was a glittering buckle, which twinkled like the sparkling tays of a diamond. The young wonfan carefully watched the precious gem, end as she entered the water reen to take it off and substitute a somewhat less expensive garter.

As stated in yesterday's Star, the Bethle- hem cighteen-inch Harveyized armor plate tested at Indian Head yesterday resisted the attack upon it and met all the essential requirements ‘of the contract with the gov- ernment. Great resistance power was shown by the plate, neither of the two shots fired at it penetrating more than twelve Inche: ‘The officials of the Bethlehem Company say that the test bears out their assertion that the first plate subjected to the test suffered from a flaw as it came from the mills, After the second shot fired yesterday had struck the plate and remained partially im- bedded there was a crack in the plate from the top to the bottom a half an inch wide, The conditions under which the plate was tested were practically the same as on the previous occasion, except that the powder charge varied somewhat. The shots were fired from the twelve-inch gun used at the last test. The plate was oblong in shape, 181-2 feet long and 7 feet 6 inches wide and 18 inches thick for 4 1-2 feet from the top, and then gradually tapered off for 3 1-2 feet to a width of 8 inches. It was placed 887 feet from the gun. Carpenter projectiles weighing 850 pounds were used and the guns were charged with Dupont’s prismatic powder, . The first shot was fired at a striking ve- locity of 1,465 feet, with a powder charge of 249 3-4 pounds. It struck the plate in the left center, three feet from the top. A por- ton penetrated the metal six or eight inches, the remainder being shattered in pieces and scattered about the grounds. No cracks were visible. The powder charge of the second shot weighed $7 1-2 pounds, and the velocity was 1,026 feet. It struck the plate somewhat above {ts true center and penetrated about twelve inches. If also cracked the plate in an frregular line fro: top to bottom from the place where the sho: struck, Half the shot remained imbedded in the plate and the remainder lay immedi- ately in front. While the officials of the Bethlehem Company believe that large plates can be Harveyized with profit, yet they insist that it is unfair to expect a proportionately greater benefit because of the size of the plate as compared with those of lesser thicknes: ————_-4,.0.—_____ David H.

An officer was sent in search of her and visited the house of Kate Smith on North Lee street, but, al- though the object of his search sat in the doorway in front of him while he conversed with an inmate cf the house relative to her whereabouts, he failed to recognize her by the description furnished. Later on she was discovered at the steam- boat wharf and escorted to the station house, where she stated that she had been at the house of Kate Smith since her ar- rival in this city, but upon discovering the character of the place had left, with the 1 tention of remaining away.

Powell, the engineer Commissioner, has been er ing to perfect a system of union street rail- Way stations. These stations were to be so distributed throughout the city that several street rail- ways could use them without eonflict, each one bearing its proportionate share of the cost. The primary object scught to be ac- complished was the abandonment of corner transfer stations and the substitution of a weil ventilated and heated passenger sta- tion, which would be a protection to the traveling public in bad weather. The location of the central station was de- cided upon today. It ts proposed to locate the station on B street west of the Balti- more and Potomac railroad station, so ar- ranged that the 7th street cable tracks pass alongside of one end. All cars going wi on B street pass on the north of the station, while those going east pass on the south side. East of the station and between the main tracks a switch is arranged for cars which do not proceed further east. It is ex- pected that all cars reaching the station from the east will go further west, and, therefore, do not requlre to be switched at the gtation. This structure, as laid out, is 50 by 75 feet in plan. It has a sidewalk on each side outside of the tracks. It will be built of brick, one story high, of neat ar- chitectural design. |, ‘Three street railways now pass this point. Several proposed street railways whose routes reach or pass this point, are now pending in Congress. The location of these Stations gives a passenger an opportunity to reach any part of the city witnout annoy- ance. : The other propesed stations will be locat- ed as follows: : One in Georgetown near 26th and M streets; another at 7th and Flerida avenue; one at the Intersection of Marylane avenue, H street and Bladensburg road; one near the Pennsylvania avenue bridge over the Eastern branch. In the street railroad bills recommended by the committee they have had ref- erence to the establishment of these sta- tons, elther in expressed terms or by fix- ing the terminus as approved by the Com- missioners.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., July 19, 1894. Every day people from Washington regi! ter at the hotels and are soon in the full enjoyment of the social gayeties, which are a marked feature of the festivities of the season. One evening last week Miss Edith Hubbs of Washington, with the help of Prof. J. C. Smith, the master of cere- montes, introduced an entirely new parlor game, which has since gone the rounds, and has become such a “fad among the vis- itcrs as to almost amount to a craze, The game is called “fairy cricket,” and is de- scribed as played by the guests of the Cole- man House again last evening. In the cen- ter of the large amusement hall was placed a wicket, prettily mounted with pink rib- bons, and on either side, at a distance of abet twenty feet, was placed two white made by a combination of circular dises of stiff paper, one pair being tinted red on the outside edges, the other pair blue. There were two participants on each side provided with large palm leaf fans. ‘The aim ts, with the wind created by f. ning above the balls, though not touching them, to drive the spheres through the wicket, the red to the goal of the blue, and the blue to the goal of the red and ‘back again, meanwhile each party hindering and driving back the opponents’ balis. With interchange of players the game continued until one of the last players won. A tempt- ing prize always rewards the skill of the vietor. The Brunswick’s hop on Wednesday was an enchanting combination of all those es- sentials which go to make up an ideal ball- room scene. Among those present the fol- lowing were noted from Washington: Mis Turah Gittings, Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, Mis: Lulu Barnes, Mr. R. H. Thomas and Mr. B, F. Gittings.

Horner of Brookland, was among the mem- the class graduated this week from the Washington Training School for Nurses. The commencement exercises were held in the lecture room of the Columbian Univer- sity, and were enlivened by some charm- tion of the Marine Band, Wilson, president of the board of trustees of the school; Prof, Otis T. Mason and Dr. James Kerr made addresses, ‘The young ladies looked n: iness-like in their uriform suits, received many handsome floral tokens, The other members of the ciass were: Louisa F, Bellmore, Washing- “Menor M. Finley, Canada; Prof, Thomas sylvania; Ella A. Palmer, New York; Fred- mith, N6rway, and Marie L. ashington, Miss Lizzie W. Horner recently graduated from the Baptist Mis- stonary Training School at Chicago. Mr. W. C. Cox has become a resident of Brookland, occupying Mrs. Dunn's cottage on Dover street. A stray bullet from a 8 broke the plate gla window in Wolf's con- fectio: store on Michigan avenue, and n dangerous proximity to’ M. Baldwin of Eckingion, who was returning from an evening party in West Brookland. The shot came from the direction of the iversity grounds, and the police a non the sui hunt for the person who fired it, but so far without results. The lawn’ fete given by Potomac Corps, No, 2, at the residence of Mrs. Morrell Marean, on Lincola avenue, was quite a success, and was attended by a number of Brookland people. The grounds around the historic mansion were illuminated by elec- tricity and presented a handsome appear- ance, Mr. J. W Horner and family have re- moved from the Sargent road to Shadyside, Brookland, Besides the narrow escape froma white- washing by the Hyattsville B. B. Club, with a score of 12 to 1 against Brookland, the Brooklands yielded another game to the Peck Athletic Club of Georgetown, whom they played on Analostan Island Thursday afternoon, with a score of 29 to 18 in favor of the Athleti¢. Thero seems to be a great need for concerted work by the Brookland club, At 5 p.m. today there promises to be great fun at the home grounds in Unl- versity Heights, the Brookland club having been challenged by the Catchweights, a new club, composed of the older business men of Brookland, with Mr. T. C. Johnston as captain, aliber revolver A Night Fire. Last night's warm weather caused thousands of persons to remain on th streets, and about 11 o'clock, when an slarm of fire was sounded, fully 2,000 of the fresh air seekers forgot the weather and hastened to the corner of New Jersey avenue and L street,where a stable in the rear of Andrew Beach's caught fire in some unknown way. The dry timbers and hay in the structure made a big blaze and the crowd reached the scene before the fire department. The firemen had considerable ay. in pre- venting the destruction of a number of hotises. Two horses in the stable perish in the flames, and the house of J. C. Tay- lor, ei New sare avenue, was bad! scorched. Persons in the immediate vicin- ity threw their household éffecta in the streets. Several of the houses iaiacleth ot ly scorched, but beyond the destruction of the stable not much damage was ¢coné. The total loss amounted to less thaa §2,000. THE NEEDS OF ANACOSTIA The Flats and Police and Fire Protection Meeting of the New Citizens’ Agsocta- tion—A Rousing Mass Meeting in Prospect. An enthusiastic and largely attended meot- ing of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association was held in the substation last evening. Mr. R. B. Buckley called the meeting to or- der and spoke of its being a special meet- ing because of the urgent need of fire pro- tection. The reports of committees were called fo>, and Mr. Bartley, from the com- mittee for gas lights on Minnesota avenue, reported that the city authorities told him nothing would be done yet awhile because the appropriation had not been made. The resolutions adopted at the last meeting and presented to H. A. Griswold, president of the Anacostia and Potomac River Railway Company, in opposition to the discontin- uance of the transfer system with the Belt Line, cailed forth several letters in reply from Mr. Griswold, which Mr. Buckley had read. The railroad claimed that the eys- tem caused a loss of $1,300 per year to them. In reply to action of the association ugainst dirty cars and other alleged nuis- ances, a letter was read stating that ihe company would give the matter its earliest attention to remedy the defects in the ser- vice. The association then indorsed the ac- tion of the Northeast Washington Assocta- Uon for a free public libvary, and upon mo- tion of Mr. Carrol Smith, a committee of three was appointed to act in unison with committees on the same subject from other associations to get the library. Mr. Buck- ley announced as the committee Rev. Hugh ‘T. Stewenson, Julius Tolson and W. Mardea King. Sergeant rby, in charge of the Anacestia police, arose and advocated bet- ter police facilitic He said there was a crying need for a new station, as the want of one badly crippled the service in Ana- costia. In 1885, he said, we had four mount- ed and one foot policemen. We have nov. tweive mounted and three footmen, includ- ing the sergeant. “It can be seen,” he sald, “how much we need better facilities when an instance that was manifest yes- y. We bad three men who look afier Anacostia proper. hese three men were at court together y, and the people of Anacostia were really without protection for several hours. A murder could have been committed right here in the business section of the town and the murderer escape for lack of police fa- cilities. We do not want more policemen; we want a new station, and then we can inaugurate a reserve system, as operated at the city stations. By having the officers here on reserve the town is much better provided in case of anything happenin; After some little discussion it was decided to make this subject one for special con- sideration for Monday night. The question of reclamation of the Anacostia flats was then brought vp and the action of the East Washington Association was indorsed and a committee appx 1 to take any nece: r steps to aid the Wri in this direction. ‘Th committee was composed of Messrs. Buck- , chairman; Mith, Barth Minnix, Tol- son. It was suggested to provide for a trip of some Congressmen up the river, that they might view for themselves the un- healthy condition of the flats, and the com- decided to take the matter under went. Mr. George Walson, secretary tion, then presented a _resolu- et at the death of Mr. John N. the late treesurer of this associa- tion and a prominent citizen ef Anacostia. The resolution was adopted, and, on the question of electing a treasurer to fill the unexpired term of office, upon motion of Mr. imore street sewer, and the matter was urged to their attention. It is pro- once give it Posed to have the sewer extended from Jefferson street to Grant, where it will form a more natural terminus, - The final and most ortant question Was then arranged. It was the mass meet- ing for Monday night, when every citizen of Anacostia is expected to turn out and give his aid to getting the Commissioners to gi better fire protection. Mr. Buckley announced as the speai sion Mr. Simon W. A. Linger and H. A. to those mentioned every citizen is ex- pected to voice his sentiments and a rous- ing indisnatiéna meeting is eapected to re- sult. It is proposed to then open a mam- moth petition book to be signed by every resident of Anacostia, petitioning the Coms missioners in the matter. Haines’ Hall has been secured for the occasion, but fearing that it will not be large enough, arrange- ments have been made for an immediate adjournment to the Masonic Hall, Jackson and Pierce streets. So much are the citi- zens aroused over the fire engine project that the meeting and its object will be an- nounced from the church pulpits on Sunday morning, Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson of the Baptist Church volunteering to do so, and Rey. James McLaren of the Methodist hurch promising to do likewise. It was announced that the insurance underwriters have been seriously considering the ad- visability of increasing the Insurance rates unk some further protection from fire is provided in Aracostia.

The Datly Show of Fine Equipsges and Tollets om Ocean Avenue. Correspondence of The ‘Star. ELBEWON, N. J., July 20, 1894. It was prophesied that summer resorts everywhere would suffer in consequence of the depression in business, but the predic- tion is not verified, at least not in this eee. tion of the country, at the charming clus- ter of resorts near Elberon, Long Branch hotels, it is true, are not crowded as in for- mer years, but there is a sufficient number of guests to make the top of gaycty spin even if its whirl is not furious. There ic @ strong tendency to eottage Mfe at the re- sorts along the Attantic near here. Ocean rmteeccehg were bre msm at 4 p.m. with fine urnouts, occul arrayed peo- ple from near-by resorts. The latest wrinkle is to drive three horses abreast—tandem teams are seldom seen. The Ocean avenue @rive is from ten to fifteen miles long, ex- tending from Asbury Park, Belmar, Beach, Interlaken, Ejberon, West End, Long Branch, Seabright and Normandie-by-the- Sea to Sandy Hook. Bad pte hrm § that the ocean ts a relent- s fury intent upon washing away Long Branch, for it has again made inroads upon North Long Branch, where bulkheads are not yet built. It is predicted that, unless bulkheads are built all along the coast, Seabright will in time lie beneath the deep blue sea. An old farmer here remembers the time when a farm extended beyond the present sea limits of Seabright. Daring the great storm several years ago a cottage was literally washed out to sea. Fortunate- ly the tenants had fled from the angry waves. The Shrewsbury river will probably some day join the Atlantic, and then a diver’s bell will be needed to discover Sandy Hook. There is fine crabbing at Pleasure bay and on the Shrewsbury river, and many crabbing parties are made up. Prizes are given to the one catching the most crabs, and a dinner at the bay follows the crab- bing. ‘One sees many funny things when are bathing in the briny deep. The other day an old Jady went in bathing. She opened her mouth to speak, when a big Wave struck her full in the face, washing out her teeth and causing her to swallow a quantity of salt water. She made a grab her teeth, but just as she thought she had them a wave Washed them off again. After repeated attempts she finally got them. A nurse here has an ingenious way of keeping her little flock about her. She fastens ropes of different lengths to her belt, and the end of each to a child. The oldest goes a little further than the second, the second a little fusther than the young- est. : it is said that many matches are made at resorts in the glad summer time, but I know of at least one match which is off now, and it promised well in the city. A pretty girl and her beau went in bathing, and the next dar che told her mother that her feclings suffered a revulsion when in bathing with John, who, she sald, looked “perfectly horrid” tn the water, Water is ho respecter of persons, and doubtless John Gid present a sorry spectacle in an ill-fitting bathing suit ond hair hanging in wet strings about his face. It is quite the thing to go to the swim- ming pool. Shooting matches are frequent at beautiful Hollywood. These matches are gotten 1p by Mr. John Hoey, the son of the late Hoey, whose hobtiy Hollywood— with its magnificent hotel and cottages— was. Every cottage at Hollywood is taken, and the hotel is almost full. AT DEER PARK. The Washiectonian: Joying the Mou of The Evening espondence Star. DEER PARK, Md., July 19, 1994, Mrs. John G.

Boyd, wh in the saloon business on Virginia avenue between 2d and 3d sirects, where his prede- cessor made a fortune. But Boyd could not do a Sunday business, and he may have to retire from business before long. Although he has only been in business a few months, the police have hed three charges against him. The first charge was keeping an un- licensed bar, but he got his license before the case was heard, and next came a case of Sunday bar. He was held guilty under the charge and fined. Yesterday there was another charge against him. It was shown that on the Su and looked up and down the alley. ing the coast all clear, he opened his gate vhite end col- red persons in search of “hummers,” or ‘thomé runs,” es they are calied. Among them was 2 colored woman, and she afterward told the police that she got 15 cents’ worth of gin. Boyd made no dental of the charge, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Judge Miller imposed a fine of $100 and costs or ninety days on the farm, and the ex-policeman went down. —_———— The Golden Cross.
