number Of evl.doers who are terrified out OF
future depredations by fear OF detection by
the energetic guard.

sionist. The charge Is, that they keep avery
respectable" resort for oficers and soldiers
from the hospitals, and that they are some.
times disorderly. The lieutsnant promptly
visited the place with his guard, fonnd y few
soldiers there, but "all quiet" and he did no I
molest the keepers; but II another complaint IL
made, the proprietors will be taken care of.
Lieut.. Raymond goes about in the day and
makes his observations, and then makes his
arrests at night. It seems to US that he could
be better able TO make these observations on
horseback. His usefulness would be very
much increased, as he could visit larger
number of places, especially In the suburbs,
and with much greater ease. We call atten.
ton to this matter. Let this officer have facili.
tics for the greatest possible efficiency.
