The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-29

Captain Lucy's Office has been admin
istered with marked ability, and never,
probably, hes the city been 20 free OF
crime of serious nature as during bis
term of Office. In Mr.. Neill McCa=hin
day clerk and boOk-keeper for the de.
partners, Nj. Lucy has a courteous
gentleman and a careful ard efficient
officer, aud never perhaps in the history OF
the Office we're the books in better shape
The pstrolmen are Eide-8vake men.
fearless in the discharge of their duties
which they discharge with as little harsh
ness as possible. Not man on the force
but what is gentlemsnly in his department
and courteous 10 all with whom they are
thrown in contact.
All in all, Austin has superb marshal
and splendid police force.
In this connection the following COM
pliment paid the city marshal and the
force by Mayor Robertson in his repor,
the last issued is applicable now:
The improved condition of this city Is
plainly visible in the greatly reduced
number of cases in the recorder:
court. l do not attribute this result
wholly to the fact that people have re-
formed and grown better, but rather to
the fact that this city is under better police
control than ever before. The criminal
classes have realized this fact, and have
left this city and taken care not to return
1t costs less TO prevent crime, by the en-
ployment of sufficient and competent
agencies, than it does to bring it to pun
ishment after it has accomplished its pur.
pose. Peace and good order reign in this
;ity. This condition of security has OBJ
tanned for the past two years. The peo-
pie of this community have perfect con-
tidence that they will be protected Ill life,
person and property under the present
police management. This condition OF
affairs has been brought about by
the administration of the Office
OF city marshal being placed in the hands
of man competent and qualified to dis
charge its duties, and By clothing him
with power and authority to select and
discharge the members of his force upon
his own will and judgment. The marshal
has organized an efficient force, and has
placed the~under the very best discipline.
The people can rely upon its protection
with every assurance of safety. do not
believe that any reduction should be made
AZ 'HS POiiSe lOICe' anu dn SbllSHeu JOdt
no part of the people desire it. Nor do
believe that any limitations should be I'M
posed on the power of the city marshal in
organizing and controlling the depart
ment for which he is to be held response
BILE. As the police department is row Or
gained and administered, this city is
afforded a sure and safe guarantee that
good order will prevail, and nobody is
complaining at the cost.

TAKE CARE or YOUR EYES.

Agency for the LeMare's Celebrated
Rock Crystal Spectacles Il Eye Glasses.
Few matters deserve more care than the
selection of help to sight, because II the
glasses are not scientifically correct, the
Injury done to the sight viii probably be
irreparahle and on the other hand unless
the lenses are properly adjusted to the VI
sion. the wearer will risk becoming unable
to see without them altogether.
LeMare's Spectacles are the best that
science has yet been able 10 produce, be-
ing perfectly colorless, have no eprismatic
rays common to the glasses in use. The
core or the centre of the glasses come di-
rectly in front of the eye. and consequently
do not tire the eye, but produce clear and
distinct vision as in the natural healthy
sight. their lasting qualities being such
that frequent change is unnecessary. With
view OF adjusting the lenses to the re-
uuirements OF the eye, the sight is measur-
ed by new system, which enables anyone
to fit accurately, and which has by exper-
fence proved the most unerring guide.
1t is now clearly proved that by the use
of scientifically manufactured spectacles,
impaired sight may to some extent be re-
stored, and In all cases departing vision
may be checked, while, as Is well known,
the ordinary spectacIes bring about a con-
trary effect. The undersigned intends
making It q speciality. and with that view
has obtained the very latest and most Inn
proved spectacles. A trial solicited.
