It ts agreed that no human g can with certainty anticipate the find- of juries, but General Bacon came rer doing so, {t is said, than has any other individual known locally. The attor- neys Interested In cases on trial always sought General Bacon, when the evidenc had closed, to secure his Views regardir the result. On one or two occasions whea juries failed to decide as General Bacon thought they should have done he did not all to express himself concerning them rously and unmistakably. The deceased was particularly interested in the Funk and Snell murder trials of re- cent date. He was a particular friend of one of the prosecutors who held office when Mr. Henry E. Davis was United States attorney, and at the close of the proceedings each day during that period would have some comment to inake, such as, “You were a little angry at that wit- ness today,” or “That was a first-class argument of yours to the jury.” Judge Cole's Comment. “I knew General Bacon intfmately for about twenty years, and I loved him," re- marked Justice Cole of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to a Star re- porter today. “I saw him nearly every day, and he was one of the finest men I ever met. I was always glad to soe him in court. He paid close attention to every word spoken, and could generally reach a proper conclusion. For his age he was a remack- ably vigorous and active man. ‘Just one year ago, I remember,” con- tinued Justice Cole, “I met General Baex in the corridor of the city hall. I remarked that he was looking very well, and could uot be very old. I then inquired his age, saying he surely would not object to telling = replied General Bacon; “I do not object to telling you, I am not old. I am just twenty.

SERGEANTS INSTRUCTED. Promoted Men's Daties Outlined by Chief Sylvester. ‘When Major Sylvester decided upon De- tective Thomas P. Hartigan and Acting Sergeant Samuel Murphy for promotion, he summoned the men to his office and gave them an outline of the duties expected of them. The two men were selected because of the major's confidence in their\ ability. ‘They are both young men, and the chief did not fail to remind them that they are in line of promotion. During the course of his address Major Sylvester said, among other things: “The idea which prevatled for a great many years was that when a man became sergeant he got a little more pay, that he would be temporarily in charge of the sta- tlon during the lieutenant’s absence, and that the supervision over the privates was routine. Sergeants should feel that they are advanced one step and in command of the men, next to lieutenants, and directly responsible for a correct performance of duty. ‘ “The sergeant’s policy should be to relieve where he can, not pull down. Even if a man is a thief, it does not stand that he should be cuffed and abused. On the other hand, he should be treated with humanity. You have got him, restrain him, and put him out of the way of doing harm to socie- ty. You do not want anything further. I would Ike to have the sergeants all feel that respect Is due the lowest individual. A man who is a drunkard cannot take care of himself, and perhaps it is a disease with im, and he is all the more deserving of kind treatment. “I would like to have the mén understand that mistakes they make not only reflect upon themselves, but upon the department as a whole. I would like to have sergeants understand that they are officers and not Privates. As long as members of the force do their duty that {fs all you can ask. Where they are deserving of credit it should be given them, and you should be on such terms with them that they are prepared to say you have been fair and just.” CLUB (1874). UNITY Proceedings of Social and Business Meeting Recently Held. A social and business meeting of the members of the executive committee of Unity Club (1874) was held Thursday even- ing last, at the residence of Mrs. Della Sheehy, 406 Massachusetts avenue north- west.

Diamond Ornaments Valued at About $2,500 Hidden'in Chimney at Ber Home. Lena Lawson, :a colored girl, seventeen years old, was arrested last night on a charge of stealing about $2,500 worth of Jewelry from the house of Frederick L. Harvey, No, 2146 Florida avenue, where she was employed as nurse. The girl was ar- rested by Policemen Jack and Potter of the third precinct at her home, No. 6 Alex- ander court northwest. She afterward con- fessed her guilt and gave up all the proper- ty with the exception of a diamond ring, and this was afterward recovered from Nellie Johnson, colored, who lives in Sum- ner’s alley. The ring had been given to her by Herbert Green, colored, to whom Lena Lawson had presented it about ten days ago. Green is a married man, and the officers arrested him at his home in the Douglas flats. He admitted having accepted the jewel from the girl, and said he thought it was not worth more than 10 cents. Mrs. Harvey, who is a daughter of the late Representative Holman of Indiana, missed her jewelry about 7 o'clock last night. The diamond ring, worth about $40, had been taken about ten days ago, but Mrs. Harvey did not discover the loss until the other jewelry disappeared. The prop- erty taken consisted of a diamond brooch, containing twenty-four diamonds, valued at $1,500; a pair of diamond earrings, worth $500, and a lace pin, valued at $400. The Girl Suspected. Mr. Harvey called at the third precinct station soon after the theft was discovered and the police concluded from his explana- tion of the affair that the colored nurse girl had committed the theft. Detectives Lacy and Peck were sent from headquarters to assist in the Investigation. When they reached the station they found the girl un- der arrest. The officers had taiked to her about the robbe but she denied having committed it. yon after the detectives reached the station, however, the girl told Detective Lacy that she would go with him and show him where he could get the jewel- ry. He went to her house and found the property in the chimney, where the girl had hidden it. After the recovery of this prop- erty Green was arrested and the ring was recovered from the Johnson woman, Conversing with the detectives Lena said she took the jewelry from her employer's house Thursday and wore it to a cake wal The next day she returned it. She realized that the expensive ornaments had added to her popularity Thursday night, and yesterday she concluded she would be- come the owner of them. Girl Committed to Jail. This morning when the case was investi- gated by Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny, the latter expressed the opinion that Green had accepted the ring believing {t was of little value. Tho officers told him that Green had made no effort to conceal the 2 tts and no charge was preferred against tm. The Lawson girl entered a plea of guilty when arraigned on a charge of grand lar- ceny. Judge Kimball held her for the ac- tion of the grand jury, and she was com- mitted to jail in default of $1,000 real estate security, ——_—__ AGAINST PROPOSED CHANG Vetition of Colored Residents Ad- dresxed to Senate Committee. Following the mass meeting recently held at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church a petition was prepared for signatures of. colored residents, which set forth, among other things, that “believing if a change is adopted according to the proposed plan it will be of tncalculable injury to a large percentage of the patrons of our public schools by reducing their advantages for education to the unfavorable conditions which prevail in other rections of the coun- try where separate schools are maintained for white and colored children under one Supervision, we respectfully, but earnestly. remonstrate against that portion of the measure which eliminates the office of su- perintendent for the colored schools, and we ask your honorable body to amend the bill with the following provisions: “That the board of education be increased to seven or nine, in which proper representation be n the colored citizens of the District on » basis of the enrollment of colored chil- dren in the public schools.

RELEAS: Officers Fail to Identify Prisoner as Man Wanted. William McFarland, colored, who was re- cently arrested by the police of South Washington on suspicion of being Isafah Yelverton, wanted in North Carolina on a charge of murder, was released from cus- tody Saturday. Sheriff Scott of Goldsboro’ and his deputies came here Friday. Sat- urday a man who knows Yelverton arrived and saw at a glance that the prisoner was not the man wanted. McFarland was ar- rested on information furnished by private detectives. He spent four days in the po- lice station, and the case cost the state of North Carolina about $200, Cruelty of Horse Owners, To the Editor of The Evening Start In the article regarding cruelty to animals in a recent issue of The Star, reference was made to the indifference of owners. In this connection I should like to relate a circum- stance I witnessed a few days ago. There was a handsome carriage, with two horses, being driven up and down 10th street in front of a store, and the driver, a colored man, lashed the horses unmercifully every few steps they took. I waited at the store for the owner to come out, and when she did so I said: ‘Madam, I thought you would like to know the fact that your driver has been cruelly whipping your horses, for nothing, ever since you have been in the store.” She only smiled and said: “Oh, that’s all right; horses get the devil in them.” I turned away disgusted, with tne remark: “I think the driver has the devil in him this time,” and I thought the owner had the devil in her worse than either.
