THIRTY-NINE FRISONERS IN THE LINE The “Offenses Were, ‘However, Mostly of a Trivial Nature. ~~~ DOSES OF JUSTICE’ GIVEN ‘There were thirty-nine prisoners in the toils at the Police Court this morning, and even some of them were able’ to~'say ‘Merry Christmas” and mean it. Although there were so many prisonets locked up the offenses charged were, as a rule, trvial, and thd police who had made the arrests were able to sit about the court instead of being out on their beats. In the proces- sion of Judge Kimball's prisoners there was not the usual number of familiar faces that were seen on holidays several years ago. Poor old Agnes White died several years ago, Katte Goose passed away only a year ago, while Ellen Ale has re- formed and is conducting a mission in one of the alleys in South Washington where in days gone by she celebrated her holidays,and they came every month in the year. In the court room there was not the usual number of spectators, for many of those who make this their loafing’ place had a home attraction today and they missed seeing the victims of the police appear and get their doses of justice. Was Playing Crap. A full-grown colored man, who answered to the name of James Majors; headed the procession and said, “I'se guilty of loud and boisterous.” “He was playing crap, your honor,” said Policeman Quinian. “1 arrested the other in the game last week and he was fined.”* - “ven dollars.” Charles Wilks, a colored boy dressed in kis Christmas suit of clothes, next ap- peared and said guilty. “I was a@ litte full last night,” he said, ‘and another fellow was with me, but the police let him & “I have nothing to do with that,” said the Judge. “If the officer had let you off you might have been with nim row. But he did not do it, and you will haye to pay your fine or go down.” Policeman Carson had what he thought was a case. Harry Lundy was the name of his colored vicum, and the poheeman said that at midmght he made a loud noise to welcome Christmas. “Did he use any profanit: asked. “No, your honor.” ‘Do you know this man?’ Yes, sir; he was here some time ago for conducting a walking ‘speak easy.’ ” Judge Kimball did not say how many hundred people were making loud noises last night about 12 o'clock, and as he Id tind no justtiable excuse for impos- ing a fine, Harry was turned out to end his celebration. A Brick-Throwing Contest. Frank Washington and Ida Middleton, a colored couple from the Navy Yard,appear- ed on complaint of Officer Stewart. “They were engaged in a brick-throwing contest and profanity at Sth and M streets last nigh the officer said. Do they plead guilty?” Yo, your honor,” said the officer. “The woman, who has a black eye, claimed that the man had knocked her.down, apd,she was only trying to get even.” That was Ida's statement to the court, — was released, Her companion wag ned. a Tom Holmes put on his Sunday clothes last evening and went out to da some celebrating.

Theodore Ritter, a young colored man,at- tended services at St. Augustine’s Church at 5 o'clock this morning and had some difficulty with one of the ushers. Police- man Preston said that Theodore was put cut, but there was no evidence that he was Giserderly or that he disturbed the chyrch service. His personal bonds were taken, and his collateral returned. A Spenkeasy Raided. “We raided a bawdy house and ‘speak- easy’ on Maine avenue last night and found these women in there,” said a po- ‘iceman, and he referred to Mary Spencer and Mabel Williams, well-dressed colored women, whose reputations were given as “evil life and fame.” One of the women made a serious charge against the police. She said that a man named Lancaster, who does work for the police, came to the house to sell tickets for the police benefit, and the madam refused to buy any of them. The man, she said, threatened to have the house raided unless she bought tickets, and then the raid was made. “I can prove that this statement is false,” said the judge. “Every time these disrepu- table women are brought here they make these statements, and I’m tired of it. I have the three white boys here who made the complaint.” A young man named A. O. Kellar appear- ed on the stand and said he had made complaint to the revenue officer and also to Sergt. Daiey. The officer said he was first complained to by the collector of internal revenue on later Kellar came and complained to im. “Mary Spencer,” the officer said, “was in court some time ago and was released upon a promise to leave the city. “Did she leave?” the court asked. “She says she did,” the officer answered, “but she soon returned.” “That's what they all do,” the judge said, “and Mary will have to go down for ninety days.” Mabel was given two months. He Didna’t Remember. “You are charged with disorderly con- duct,” read the clerk to James Walsh. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “{ don’t remember,” the man answered, “and so I'll leave it to the officer.” Sergt. Daley had arrested him about 5 o'clock this morning at his home on 41-2 suet. The prisoner had gone home under the influence of liquor, and had some trouble with his mother. ‘During the strug- Bie before the officer arrived Mrs. Walsh Was thrown to the floor and injured. Cries of “murder” attracted the sergeant, and when he reached the house Walsh ha a table leg in his hand. When he endeav- ored to assault the officer the latter struck him with his club, and drew blood enough to stain his shirt bosom. Mrs. Walsh did the best she could to get her son off, but Judge Kimba!l held him gaiity and tined him 320 or sixty days. “L only had three drinks of corn whisky last night,” said Susan Purpose, a colored woman, “and i didn’t think it would make me drunk. When I woke up this morning I started out the door to go to work, and was surprised when I found the iron’ bars in front of me.” Susan promised to keep sober in the future, and the court released her on her own recognizance. ilijah Johnson's best girl gave him a red necktie, and he said he had been ar- rested as a suspicious person, although he did not know exactly Of what he was sus- pected. Policeman Bradley’s evidence was that he had seen the prisoner go over the bridge almost every day, and he had also seen him in policy shops. “I have played poli who works for his living, 0 over there to shoot cra) There was nothing found on him to in- dicate that he was a policy runner or that he was engaged in the business in any way. Judge Kimball said that he thought persons arrested in connection with the policy business should be charged with the specific act. Mr. Pugh was of the same opinion. He could not tell why the officers always bring these cases under the vagrancy act. But Judge Kimball held him guilty just the same, and sent him down in default of security. said the prisoner, nd sometimes 1 Se Hygiene of the Mouth, From the New York Herald. The medical authority of the Herald's European edition emphasizes again the great need of antiseptic precautions to keep the mouth always free from disease- producing microbes, and more especially in sickness and old age. He says: “The cavity of the mouth contains in- numerable microbes that are lodged in the tartar or between the teeth, and multiply there indefinitely, becoming the source of various complaints of the gums, and in some cases even the point of origin of an infectious complaint. The most minute cleanliness of this cavity is therefore in- dispensable.” Among the best antiseptic agents is a 2 per cent solution of boric or salicylic acid. In addition a stiff brush should be used, even if it should “make the gums bleed at first.” And this brush should be kept standing in clean water and disinfected once a week in a solution of corrosive sub- limate (one to a thousand). During illness it is of the utmost ifhport- ance to keep the mouth clean. Our foreign medical correspondent says: “Patients shovld be encouraged to rinse out their mouths and gargle their throats from time to time with a vegetable, lemon- ade, orange or lemon juice, and their teeth should be cleaned twice a day with a soft brush and a very weak solution of sailcylie acid. “It is advisable not to wait until patients ask to drink, but to offer them, at least every hour, some fresh water or lemonade. Abundant drinking during illness not only has an excellent effect by the mechanical flushing of the system it occasions, but it also has the advantage of preventing the mouth from becoming dry.” ———e0. Sneezing. From the Loudon Dally News. Dr. Scanes Spicer, reading a paper the other day before the Chemists’ Assistants’ Association on “Sneezing,” told his hearers that the act of sneezing has always been regarded “as supernatural, and by many races was held in reverence. Hence arose the custom, not even now altogether obso- lete, of making some remark directly after sneezing Sneezing was regarded as a sign of impending death during the plague of Athens. Many classical writers make espe- cial reference to sneezing, and some sup- posed that during sneezing devils were cx- pelled. Sneezing itself is a reflex nervous action, and is brought about by mechanical irrita~ tion to the ends of ths nerve fibers which occur In the tissue uf tis <ose. When this irritation occurs, whecia: It be due to a foreign body or char; of temperature af- fecting the tissue of the nose, a nerve im- pulse is transmitted to the brain and cer- tain nerve centers in the medulla oblongata are affected; this results in certain im- pulses being transmitted along the nerves to the muscles controlling respiration. By this means the egress of air during expira- tion ts delayed, and the various exits are closed. When the pressure, however, reach- es a limit, the exits are forced open, “a powerful blast of air is expelled, and the patient sneezes.” oo Pedigrees for Rich Philadelphians. From the Philadelphia Record. Of all the queer professions there is prob- ably none queerer in this city than that of a certain shrewd young man about town who calls himself a “pedigree hunter.” ‘This young man has a large clientele among the wealthy, afd he is in a fair way to be- come one of that class himself. His meth- cds are interesting. Having made himself thoroughly conversant with “Burke's Peer- age,” he announced himself as an expert in the tracing of pedigrees. There are, of course, a large number of wealthy Phila- delphians who are anxious to be able to say that their forbears were illustrious knights and lords ages since. Their family traditiors are not too authentic, and so the pedigree hunter is engaged to go over to dear old England and look the matter up. ‘The expert sails away in the most com- modious of ocean greyhounds, puts up at the best hotels on the other side, performs his researches leisurely, and returns with a complete family tree. His expenses are paid and he pockets a big fee besides. CARLISLE’S® PLAN bow Sood f 36 For the Reorganization: of the Office of the Supervising Hrohitect, BASIS OF DIVISIQN:OF DUTIES Two Divisions Abolished, but No - Clerical Dismissals Expected. THE COMING MAN Secretary Carlisle has made public his plan for the complete reorganization of the otfice of supervising architect of the treas- ury. Under this plan, the architectural and technical functions will he entirely separated from the administrative {unc- tions. Mr. Charles E. Kemper, the present assistant supervising architect, will carry out the Secretary's plan,and when fully re- organized he will take charge of the ad- ministrative branch. The new regulatiuns state that in the office of the supervising architect of the Treasury Department there shall be a supervising architect, whose duties shall be those which are now or may hereafter be prescribed by Iw and the order of the Secretary. To the super- v.sing architect six divixions are acsigned, the architectural and technical work of which, together with the discipline of the force employed in such work, shall be en- tirely under his direction and control, sub- ject to such orders and regulations as may be made by the Secretary of the Treasury. The divisions assigned to the supervising architect, and the work to be performed in each, are as follows: The engineering and draughting division, the chief of which shali be known as the chief constructor. In this division will be prepared designs and working drawings for public buildings which are not opened to competition under present or future legislation, and the draugiting work re- quired by the repairs division. ‘The tracing division, which will trace the working drawings for photographic dupli- cation. ‘The photograph gallery, which will make photographic duplications of the plans aforesaid. ‘The computing division, which will pre- pare estimates of cost for public buildings, Specilications for the same, and will pass, under Instructions from the supervising architect, upon all questions of material submitted for work under contract, and carry on all work similar in character to that now performed in this division. ‘The repairs division, which is charged with the repair and preservation of all public buildings under the control of the ‘Treasury Department, the heating, hoist- ing and ventilating apparatus in said build- ing, and the purchase of vaults, safes and locks. The inspection and material division, which will have charge of the office corps of inspectors, writing their letters of in- struction and receiving their reports. Thi division is also charged with the active in- spection and supervisiog of;all work pro- vided for or prosecuted under any con- tracts, drawings or specifications prepared in the office of the supervising architect. It will be the duty of the cl:ct of this di- vision to receive all material men who visit the office for the purpdse of securing the use of their goods in public buildings, and he will take the data necessary to en- able him to present intelligently the mer- its of any article which, in his opinioa, should be brought to the notice of the su- pervising architect. The Duties Defined. The supervising architect’ will keep his office either in the engineering and draught- ing division, or in direct connection there- with,and will not be required to receive visi- tors except those who desire information with reference to matters of construction pertaining to work in actual progress. He will sign the mail which originates in his division, or which arises from the necessi- ties of the public service in conection therewith; but all mail heretofore signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, or an as- sistant secretary of the treasury, will con- tinue to be so signed, All business of an executive or adminis- trative nature not within the jurisdiction and control of the supervising architect, will be conducted by a chief executive offi- cer, who will act as supervising architect in the absence of that official, and whose duties, in general terms, shall be as fol- lows: e The chief executive officer will receive all visitors on public business, except material- men and those who may desire to confer with the supervising architect concerning matters of an architectural and technical nature pertaining to the work of construc- tion in actual progress, and he will re- ceive and have distributed to the proper divisions all mail matter adressed to the supervising architect, or other officials in the office, and check’ all letters and other papers originating in the divisions of the supervising architect as to proper official form. He Is charged, also, with all questions of discipline arising in the divisions assigned to him, and all messengers and mailing clerks will be directiy under his control; all correspondence of the office not origin- ating in the office of the supervising archi- tect, or in the divisions assigned to him, and which does not require the signature of the Secretary, or an assistant secretary, will be signed by the chief executive offi- cer, such as transmission of checks, pay- able out of the annual office appropriations for the repair and preservation of public buildings, heating, hoisting and ventilating apparatus, vaults, safes and locks; all the correspondence with the disbursing agents, superintendents and others, con- cerning request’ for funds and notifications that moneys have been asked for and will be transmitted; all questions relating to matters of final payment, and generally all other correspondence which does not arise in the work performed by the six divisions strictly under the control of the supervising architect. He will also be the custodian of the bids and open them, in conjunction with the supervising architect and chief computer. Under his immediate supervi- sion and control there shall be two divi- sons, as follow: ‘The Various Divisions, The law and record division, the chief of which will be the law officer of the entire office, and his opinion upon matters of law originating therein shall be binding, sub- ject to the right of reference, through the assistant secretary of the treasury in charge, to the Secregary of the Treasury, or the law officer of the department. This division will commence and, carry forward the work of putting into permanent record form all deeds and other papers relating to titles for sites for public buildings, marine hospitals, quarantine stations and all other real estate belonging to, or hereafter ac- quired by, the United States and under the control of the Secrétary of the Treas- ury.

This division will also prepare all the correspondence with disbursing officers, together with all other correspondence relating to payments out of the various appropriations made by Con- gress. A board of award, for the awarding of contracts in the office of the supervising architect, is created, consisting of the supervising architect, the chief executive officer, and the assistant secretary of the treasury in charge. This board will pre- pare recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for the award of all con- traéts arising In the oflice for the construc- tion of public buildings and repairs to the same, and all contracts for repairs to heat- ing, hoisting, and ventilating apparatus, and the purchase of vaults, safes and locks. ‘A majority of the board must con- cur before any recommendation is sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, and in case any member of the board shall dissent, the majority and minority shall each file 2 brief statement in writing setting forth the reasons for concurrence and non-concur- rence. The copying division and the division of records and files are abolished. The work now performed by the copyist division is indefinitely suspended, and the force now cmployed in the two above named divia- ions is transferred to the law and record division. This order shall take effect on the Ist day of January, 1895. To Provide for the Clerks. The abolition of the two divisions named involves the dismissal of their chiefs, Mr. F. W. Knowlton of Maine and Mr. E. W. Combs of Kansas. They are both ap- pointees of the present administration, and are democrats in politics. They have been notified that their services will not be re- quired after the Ist proximo. An effort will be made to provide for all the clerks and employes of the two divisions by giv- ing them employment in other departments of the office. So far as known the proposed reorganization will involve no reductions in the office other than those already men- tioned. Secretary Carlisle will appoint the super- vising architect within a very short time after the reorganization of the office is effected, probably the first week in Jan- uary. He has practically made his selec- tion in that respect, but will defer the an- nouncement until after the new arrange- ment is made. The most diligent inquiry fails to reveal the identity of the new ap- pointee, but those in a position to know say that it may be accepted that he architect of the highest standing in his profession, and one who will reflect credit upon the office. a Written for The Evening Star.

Tyne was a sub- stitute, having volunteered to take the place of Dick O'Brien, who was to have faced Kenny, but who backed out when it was found that there was but $6 in the purse. Tyne had evidently begun to cele- brate Christmas and was in no condition to fight. He had barely raised his hands in the first round when Kenny opened upon him fiercely and knocked him out with a hard right and left. It took about five sec- onds to do this. Another fight had been arranged between J. Glynn of Baltimore and Harry Callan of Washington, but the former failed to put in an appearance. Base Ball W the Foot.
