We trust that this powerful and wealthy man
did not throw M his religion, II he had any, for
such reason. His experience with protesting
Christians should lead him to be all the more
dcsrous Of excmplfying the genuine nature Of

we cannot help SAYING that the "professng

church, though their expulsion should empty

there are great many progressing Christians"
like those mentioned at the Philadelphia meet

We wish they would 0nd out their own quack-

hold OF them, instruct them In their duties, and
require them TO display the practical power OF
true religion, under penalty Of expulsion from
the church, even though they be wealthy and
powerful.

TILE POLICE PROBLEM.
The Opinions Of the Incumbent Commission
ers and Of Judge Bosworth.


rrs and Of Judge Borworth.
Police Commissioner smith told the Com
mittee on Crime yesterday that there ought to
be at least $50 patrolmen on the police force,
and that good detective should receive $50
or 5000 year, the roundsmen $3.50 year. the
captains al least $500, the inspectors $4,000,
and the Superintendent $1,000. Politics, he
added, had too much to do with the appoint
ment ~ policemen. The Commissioners should
nave the power 10 remove policemen sumtnarily.
Police Commissioner NooThs thought That
800 tatrolmeu might protect the city. There
ought really to be 5000. He thought II would
be dangerous 10 give the power OF summary re-
movai of policemen TO such boards OF ponce as
are usually IN authority. There should, he
added, be a force of detectives who are I'M
known 10 anybody but the SUPERINTENDENT.
They should work with detectives who are
known. The unknown should work up the
cases, and the known detectives make the ar
rests and testify In the courts.
Ex-Pohce Commissioner Judge Bosworth
thought that IL was almost impossible TO have
| an efficient police force as long as tue COmmts-
| sioners were appointed by municipal authorities
Police Justice MURRAY said that he bad com
| mitted man 10 the workhouse three times III
| three weeks, aud that each commitment was
| for three months.
| Four car conductors testified that pick rockets
| opeiate almost daily on the Third avenue and
| the Grand street cars.

How He SURPRISED HER. A little
while ago, says the Toledo (Ohio) Blade,
a young lady and gentleman Of our city
determined to unite their tates in Hymen's
rosy chains, and the intention was carried
out few weeks ago. In discussing their
prospects, just before the wedding oc-
cured, the young couple concluded that
they could not 60 to housekeeping lmme-
diately, but must board for year or SO.
There are few things which young wife
resigns with more reluctance than the
hope OF succeeding to neat. cosy home
of her own, but this young lady did so,
and made up her mind to be as happy as
possible in a boarding house But Just
before the wedding the groom heard OF
an opportunity to purchase charming
little house. just such as his prospective
wife pictured their home should be, and
newly furnished precisely according to
her taste. A bargain was offered IN the
whole affair, and the groom closed upon
it, but resolved to keep the transaction q
Secretion surprise to his wife. This
he did etfectuallY. After the wedding the
happy pair started upon the usual trip,
and in due time returned to the city. The
husband suggested to his wife that before
going to the hotel they 60 up into the city
to call upon certain friend of theirs.
She assented, the hackman was directed
to drive to their house, and they were
shortly deposited at the door OF Il neat
dwelling on - street The door bell was
rung; the servant appeared and ushered
them into a neatly furnished parlor; a
bright fire was burning in the CRATE and
everything was cosey and homelike. The
wife sat down and the husband said he
would step back into another room to look
for the gentleman Of the house. He re-
turned shortly, alone, and the lady of the
house was also not forthcoming The
young wife expressed surprise, and Won
dered what could be keeping the hostess
so long. The time for the denouement
had come, and the young husband tender
ly informed his bride that she was the sole
mistress OF the house and all it contained
