When Washington Tompkins was called up
in the Police Court yesterday little, bright
eyed colorsd boy, about six years old, who
could just peep over the railing, staggered up
to the bar from seat in the back Of the
room.
"You are charged, )" began the clerk
"ssh 7" asked Washington.
The clerk then proceeded to read the charge
OF vagrancy without further interruption, but
Washington became lost in contemplation of
q battle between two flies on window pane,
and made no answer to the charge.
"Have't you any home, boy" asked the
Court.
Washington simply stared with big, round
eyes IN reply, and wondered II the Judge
thought any body lived without place to live
in.
"His mother is here" said a bailif. "she
brings the charge against him."
neat. looking colored woman then came
forward.
"This boy won't stay at home, judge" said
the woman, "and can't control him.
police officer said the boy was found or
the street all the time.
"He's the stubbornest boy ever I saw
added the mother, with emphasis.
Judge Smell advised her TO take the little
boy back and try to correct him, and II he was
still incorrigible to bring him before the Court
again.

A Trial in which the Wrongs Of an I'm
licensed Drunkard are Brought to Light.
Luke W. Knott kept o little grocery at the
corner Of Twenty-second and streets north
west, and did fair trade. Like many other
proprietors Of small groceries, he thought
that the receipts Of his business could be In
creased by adding the sale OF liquor. He put
in large refrigerator, which acted In the CO.
pacity Of liquor and meat cooler and screen.
Behind this he doled out whisky In less guam
tities than q pint. The Government got
wind Of It, bounced Knott, and hauled him up
for keeping an unlicensed bar. Judge Smell
declared him guilty, and the case went up on
appeal.
Sam johnson, O light, wiry colored man,
minus nearly all his front teeth, was put on
the stand 10 prove the sale, and the following
colloquy occurred
"Did you drink there ~

Owing to your presence during tlc greater part
OF theec examinations, Il is haraly necessary to
state the methods used in arriving At the results
which are detailed hereafter. Suffice II to say
that all the ordinary and many unusual means
Of checking the correctness Of our conclusions
were employed, and there can be no reasonable
doubt OF their accuracy. In particular, all those
items In the nature Of Contingent Assets, such
as Accrued Interest and Deferred and Oatstand-
ing Premiums, which experience has shown In 50
many Instances TO have been the hidin place Of
fraud and eareiessness, have been thoroughly In
yestigated in each instanee. Premium Notes.
which, owing to their multitude and the labori-
detail Involved In their Individual inspection.
have usuallysbeen overlooked, have, In every in
stance. been accurately verified, notwithstanding
the delay thereby entailed, and am able to say
that every item OF Assets which has been claimed
by any company, and allowed In this report, has
been actually Inspected either by you or BY my
self or those assisting me.
The receipts and disbursements In each case
were subjected to careful analysis, to ascertain
the correctness OF the various accounts, under
which different classes Of income and expenditure
were entered, and We are pleased to be enabled
TO state that in no instance were there any ille-
gitimate or hypothetical entries made for the
purpose Of initiating the payments made, or ofre-
ducing the ratio OF expenses 10 income, or other
wise conveying any false impression. In this
part OF our duties We were struck with the fact
Of the Conservative amounts paid for the procur-
ing Of business; and the entire sufhciency Of the
margins upon premiums for the procuring and
maintaining the same.
The Department Registers OF Policies in force
were, In every instance, compared with the books
OF the respective companies and found to agree.
The reserves, as given in the Report, are the re-
suits Of q careful valuation Of all policies in
force, previously made by me as Aetuary Of your
department, and upon the principles provided by
the law.
