USING THE WHITE CLUB. POLICE OF PARIS Are Not Particularly Popular With the People. BOT THEY DO THEIR DUTY WELL Their Pay is Small and Promotion is Slow. .ADMIRED BY FOREIGNERS Ppecial Correspondence of The Evening Star. PARIS, April 2, 1898. A LL THROUGH THE Dreyfus and Zola troubles the one cry of the Parisian crowds was “Vive yarmee!” No one ever dreamed of shouting “Vive la police!” There is 1.0 “panache,” as the French themselves say — no fuss and feathers — about the police force. But their work is harder by far than that of the army, except, of -ecurse, in actual war, which does not come often. Year in and year out the policemen of Paris pave to defend by night end day the ungrateful Parisian crowd against ene- «mies worse than Prussians. If life is se>ure in Paris, if you can pass through ‘he streets without being held up by highway- rien, if cabs do not run you down, and if the beautiful streets are kept with some erder and cleanliness, it ts owing to the <police, which watches by night and watchs by day—with a little too much of paternal providence for the freedom-loving Anglo- Saxon, but with good humor, in the main, sand certainly with success. It is no easy task jn a city Hke this, where the adventurers of the whole world throng.. The average of murders all the year round is two daily, and that of sul- cides is the same. Nothing is more com- mon than to hear of a policeman taking a header from the river embankment after some unfortunate, who is trying to end her troubles by jumping into the Seine. Often he brings her safely out, to be thanked by nobody—sometimes not even to have his name in the papers. If, as also happens, he has a knife stuck in his back by some night marauder, whose little game he has spoiled, he will be patched up in the -hos- pital at the city’s expense, complimented by his superiors, given a medal perhaps to wear on his breast, but the ungrateful Parisians pay no attention. They never think of cheering the police. As a rule, the Parisian crowd looks-on the policeman much as the school boy looks on his master. Others May Admire Them. It would be a long inquiry into human perversity to search out the reason of all this. The Frenchman loves a uniform that flatters his vanity, which the neat dark- blue coat and trousers of the policeman do not. Then the police direct him, and he likes to do what he chooses fn little things, although he flies at once to the petticoats of the government for protection in all the feat things of life. He is made as he 1 But the foreigner may be permitted to ad- mire a police force which is said to be ab- solutely incorrupt, where there are no money prizes to be won, and where a great irregularity, to be admitted only in the highest secrecy, is to accept a cigarette from a friend, or, in the favorable dark- On Their Beat.

TWizre are few oc- easions when it would serve any one to offer them money, and the severe bunish- ™ment invariably meted out to the police- -man who should be detected accepting it t its this kind of corruption. Besides, Se ye part of the corrupter; and then he is most of the time in company with another liceman, and one servs as a natural watch ‘en the other. His loss would consist in be- ing put back from advance in the service, or in being altogether dismissed. What induces able-bodied men to ert2r the police force, with its scanty pay, is the fact that it is a permanent service, with a duratien which is limited only by incapac- ity or ill-behavior, and- with a pension at the end of it. It is governzd by the strict- est civil service rules, just as everything else is supposed to be in France—from the lowest school teacher to the high>st pro- fessor in the university, from the lictle jus- tice of the peace to the judge of appeals, from the clerk in the tr2asury up to the chief of department. This provides a safe berth until death, which ‘fs all that tne un- ambitious Frenchman desires. Meanwhile, his wife can carry on some little businzss in which the brave policeman can ald when he is off service. Then when he retires on his pension he is still able to help or sven may have formed relations with political men which can secure for him sume new berth like that of selling tobacco or as a guard in public buildings, especially if he has first be2n a soldier of some years’ standing. To understand how little the Paris police- man really gets for his work, it is neces- sery to go over the various classes in which he is found. With the late additions to the force, it numbers something like 8,- oo) men. Of the rank and file and under- officers to which a policeman can hope to be promoted, there are 100 brigadiers, 700 sub-brigadiers and about 7,000 simple po- licemen. The latter are divided, on the score of salary, into four classes. ‘The first are paid from $280 to $320 a year, according to the time they have served on the fore unless some fault has set them back. The second are paid up to $360, the third reach $!80, and the fourth $400 a year—beyond which there is nothing for the greater number, who can never come to be even under officers. Besides this salary, they have their uniforms (or $24 a year) and $37 to pay their lodging. The sub-brigadiers Tay receive pay as high as $420, and the brigadiers $460 a year. Have Few Perquisites. There are a few recognized perquisites to eke out this not overbrilliant livelihood. Not only in theaters and all public amuse- ments, race courses, balls, but even at many private soirees, the presence of these policemen (in uniform, for the secret police is another and totally different service) is required by law, and the number of police- One Who Has Risen. iren on duty at such times naturally varies with the crowd. For this work what is called an indemnity is allotted, but for the sake of fair play, it goes in a lump into the hands of the district officer, who, at the end of every three months, divides it equal- ly amorg all the policemen of the district. This may amount to several dollars in the course of the year. Then it is common enough to reward a special act of bravery with a Hight money reward. But, alto- gether, the policeman of Paris has to ex- pect to live at best on sometimes less than $00 @ year al! told. At the end of his twenty or twenty-five years he can retire on half pay, or even more. If he has had a wife to lay up money from her own earnings, he is better off than the majority of workmen and as Well off as the mucs of small shopkeepers. And, what counts most of all with this thrifty race, he has been free from anxiety for the future. To write up his history would be interesting. For the present it is erough to give the strictest of all his rules -end the hardest for a Frenchman to ob- serve: he must not talk with members of the other sex while on service. But he may make eyes at them, and for them he stops traffic by holding up his white stick at the cressings where he may be stationed. Their White Stick. By this white stick hangs a tale. It may show the difficulties of the Paris police in dealing with their own people. It is only two years since the policemen at the cross- ings which are most frequented were fur- nished with this showy sign of authority to stop the tide of cabs and carriages and carts which at certain hours of the day mixes in a tangle, to the imminent danger of life among pedestrians. It was published far and wide that when the white stick should be seen above the heads every driver should pull up, under pain of having his name, number and what not taken down in the little book which every police- man carries. ‘his would mean that he would hear from his disobedience some weeks later in the police court. The cab- bies, who have from time immemorial pur- sued eir little game of running down hu- man beings, felt that their hour had come. It was too much of a republican form of government for one old driver, who dated from the empire. The first day he saw the hated sign of slavery rise he leaped from lis seat and mauled the astonished policeman vigorously, crying as he did so to the satisfaction of the Parisian crowé: “I am not going to be led by a stick at my age!” That cabby is still cooling his head in prison—for woe betide you if you touch a policeman. It is not his saber (which he wears instead of a club), but the whole machinery of the French code which he brings to bear against you. “Outrage to public authority” is a grave offense—and he is all that. ‘The Paris police form a na- tional force, which depends directly on the national, and not on the city, government: and the foreigner, if not the Parisian, is willing, after experience, to ery: “Vive la Police! STERLING HEILIG. IN THE CHURCHES At the Easter evening Sunday sches \ celebration in the Keller Memorial Luther- an Church, Maryland avenue northeast, Mr. Frank Welis, the noted New York Sunday school worker, will be present and make an address. As soon as the weather will permit the construction of the summer home of the pupils and sisters of St. Rose Industrial School of Washington, which is to be erect- from the ground level, and will be of two “stories with a pitched roof, a broad porch extending the entire frontage. The Sunday school of Ryland M. E. Church has elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Mr. H. L. Strang; vice president, Mr. M. C. Mai tin; secretary, Mr. Clarence Fisher; treas- urer, Mr. Nixon Brewer; librarian, Mr. James McCauley. The financial statemen< of the church made at a meeting a fev" evenings ago showed that the cash receipts curing the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Hartsock, whose term there recently expired, amount- ed to $27,360. Great interest is being taken among the membership of the Brotherhood of St. An- drew in the preparations for the general convention, which is to be held in Balti- more from September 28 to October 2. in- clusive. An unusually Targe attendance of members from a distance is expected. Among them will be representatives of the Brotherhood cf St. Andrew from Canada, Scotland, Australia, England, West Indies and South America. This body is compos- ed of representative laymen and many ot the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It was organized out of the Young Men's Bible class in St. James Church, Chicago, November 20, 1888, and from a small beginning has grown to many thou- sands of members throughout the United States and foreign lands. Rev. Dr. Richard Harcourt of the Balti- more conference. and well known in this city, has been appointed corresponding sec- retary of the American Tract Society. It was understood that Dr. Harcourt would become pastor of the People’s Church in Boston, bet that. congregation retains its present pastor for another year. At the end of the term, it is understood, Dr. Har- court will be appointed to that place. Friends of Dr. Harcourt say his present appointment will afford him 2 much-need- ed rest and give him the opportunity which he has long desired,for travel in the east and in the Holy Land. Sister Augusta B. Shaffer, who, as here- tofore stated in The Star, has been an- pointed to take charge of the Muhlenberg Mission, Liberia, sailed for that distant land Wednesday. Sister Shaffer was until recently head sister of the mother house of the Lutheran deaconesses of the genera: synod. She goes via Ei md, and will be accompanied by Miss Van of Bridge- ton, N. J. Active preparations ere being made by kading Baptists of the District of Colum- bia to attend the forty-third session of the Southern Baptist convention, which will be held in the Freemason Street ‘aptist Church of Norfolk, beginning Friday. May 6, and continuing about a week. The an- nual sermon will be preached, it 15 ex- pected, by President B. L. Whitman, D.D ot Columbian University, or, in his ab sence, by his alternate, Rev. J. J. Tavlor of Alabama. The American Baptist educa- tion board will hold its annual meeting in Norfolk the afternoon and evening of May 5. Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks of the Nine- teenth Street Baptist Church, this city, has accepted an invitation to speak at the annual meeting next week in Baltimore oz the Maryland State Temperance Leaguc. Pr. Brooks’ theme will be “The Principles of the Anti-Saloon League and Its Work in Washington.” ‘The annual collection for the students cf St. Charles College wiil be taken up in the Catholic churches throughout the arch- diocese of Baltimore at all the masses to- morrow. This collection is exclusively for the education of those who are preparing themselves to exercise the duties of t ministry in this archdiocese. Cardin: Gitbons has expressed the nope that this Easter collection will meet in part at least the growing demand upon the archdiocese by the multiplication of parishes and the death or retirement by reasen of age of so Many devoted priests. One of the mort prominent personages who will attend the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in Baltimore next month will be Rev. Dr. Young J. Allen, who has the reputation of being probably the best known white man in the Chinese empire, where he has labor- ed for the last thirty-five years as a mi sionary. Dr. Allen is expected to vis Washington in the course of a few weeks. Mr. I. L. Blout, president of the Wash- irgion Hebrew Corgregation. has returned trom a visit to Baltimcre, where ke went for the purpose of inspecting the arks of the different temples there, with a view of deciding upon the best plan of adorning the irterior of the new temple in Washington. A movement fs on fcot among some of the leading Baptists of this city and var- ious northern cities to establish at Black Mountain, the home of the late Senatot Vance, a community, the general plan of which {s similar to that of Ocean Grove, N.J., but under the direction of ministers and Christian people of several denomina- tions. The community will be on the line of ths Southern railway, about twelve miles east of Asheville, N.C., and a cor- responding distance from Biltmore, the estate of George Vanderbilt. A charter has been obtained from the North Carolina legislature with special privileges. The grounds of the association contain over 4,300 acres, and the altitude of the settlement is 2,700 feet above the sea jevel. This is the highest land east of the Rockies, and there are twenty-three moun- tains in the vicinity higher than Mount Washington, N. H. Schools, stores and exceptional religious privileges are already being provided, and the sale of lquor is forever prohibited by legislative enact- ment. Some of the most prominent of the Sal- vation Army people of this city expect to visit New York week after next to attend the series of farewell meetings which are to be given there in honor of General Booth, who is about to return to England. Hs will reach New York the 19th instant and remain one week. The mass meeting in his honor in Carnegie Hall is scheduled for the evening of the 19th, and on the 20th and 21st he will meet officers of the army from all parts of the United States to the number of a thousand. The >vening of April 22 a banquet is to be given In the Lenox Lyceum. Sunday, 24th, General Booth will make two addresses at the head- quarters and one in the Academy of Music. Other meetings have also been arranged for him. His final address will be delivered on the “Social Work of the Salvation Gen. Booth will be accompanted down New York bay on his departure on Wed- nesday, 27th, by four or five small vessels, each of which is expected to be loaded with Salvationists. On account of the general's advanced age, it is considered unlikely that he will again come to this country, and it is the intention of those connected with the national headquarters to make cee occasion of his farewell visit memo- Table. At the recent congregational meeting of the Eckington Presbyterian Church the following officers were elected: Messrs. 8. Garnet Wise and Willam li. Richards were chosen as ruling clders, and Messrs. Carl A. Johnson, George W. Morrison and Edward C. Finney were elected deacons. Mr. William A. Taylor was sclected as a trustze. The reports of the various lincs of work for the year were most encourag- ing. The contributions have more than doubled. The pastor's salary has been in- creased, and in a few weeks the church will have new pews placed in it by the Ladies’ Aid Society. Irwin B. Linton will be a commissioner to the general assem- bly at Winona in May. Rev. Dr. 'T. C. Billheimer, D. D., of Get- tysburg, Pa., is assisting’ his son, Rev. Stanley Billheimer of West Washington Lutheran Church, during Passion week and Easter in the various services in his church. Rev. Joseph O’Brien has been appointed by Cardinal Gibbons chancellor of the archdiocese of Baltimore to succeed Rev. W. A. Reardon, who has been filling that position since the death of Monsignor Mc- Colgan. Father Reardon took charge of the duties of the office, but recently he was appointed pastor of St. Peter's C..urch Baltimore. Father O'Brien will assume the duties of the chancellorship in a few days and will then become a member of the cardinal's family. The new chancellor is regarded as admirably equipped for the duties of the office to which Cardinal Gib- bons has appointed him. ADVERTIMED LETTERS.
