THE current number of the New York

the civil service question. A side-splitting
form of examination is given, and it will
be found of peculiar interest to Depart

THOMAS HAYDEN, the man arrested on
suspicion of connection with the robbery of
jewelry from George W. Smith, was tried
to-day for trespassing in Stanton Park. 1t
will be remembered that the stolen prop
erty was found in the park, and two days
subsequently Hayden was arrested while
trespassing on the parking as if looking
for something. There is no evidence to
connect Hayden with the robbery and he
was released on paying small fine for
trespass.
ANNA REEVES, young white woman,
came to the Police Court as q spectator to-
day in state of exhilaration, and despite
1sap.
began to raise Hades among the people
around her and finally ventured on dancing
hornpipe, when the officers of the court
put her under arrest. The giddy young
creature realizing her situation sat down
on the floor and began to kick and struggle
until the combined efforts of several police
officers were required to convey her into
the dock. The maiden was locked up, and
during the remainder of the session her
dulcet tones were waited up the narrow
stairway as she sang, want to be an
angel"
