DISAPPOINTED POLICEMEN.
The selection of MIR. Gallagher as n
Detective Not Liked

Detective Not Liked.
There is another commotion in the Pc.
lice Department over the selection by the
Commits toners of John Gallagher of Pitts
field, ILL.,, as a member of the Metropolitan
Detective Corp. Under the new appropri.
alton allowance IL made for the appoint
mcnt Of two extra men, but it was taken
for granted that the selection would be
made from the police force.
In the selection of Mr. Gallagher the
Commissioners have ignored the Army
and Navy clause and also the rule rcquir-
ing that those appointed ON the force shall
have been residents of the District Of
Columbia Tor two years preceding their
appointment.
The Commissioners selected Mr.. Gala.
CHER on account of his experience and
qualifications as an officer. He comes
highly recommended from Illinois. A
good many of the police officers who have
set their caps for promotion and the so
extra salary per month attached to it, are
very much disappointed.

IN HARD LUCK.
Pennlless Veteran and a Man
Made Famous Under a Wrong
Name.

An old soldier, Chicago man had bad
luck passing through here on his way home.
He had his ticket from Portland to Chicago,
but lost 1t, or some one stole it, He showed
1t to friend not ten minutes before he
missed it. He had only So, and as he
said piteously enough Its no use for me to
telegraph home for money, for raised all
could to come ON with. Little by little he
told his story, how he was worn out
veteran, but wanted to see the "boys" to-
gether once more so badly that he saved and
saved for months in order to raise the money
for the trip. The brave old fellow was game
to the last, and bought ticket to Montreal.
When asked how he expected to get home
from there he said, Some boat will take me
for what can do"
1t used to be said that fame was being
killed in battle, and then having your name
spelled wrongin the papers, and the porter
who saved the passengers on the Pullman
from Chicago to Portland had about as bad
luck. After the car got on fire, he aroused
them all, and at the risk Of his own life got
them all out. He lost all he had, and came
here In borrowed clothes. His name is
Samuel Evans, and 1t was printed Adams.
He got here without cent and only got
dinner because man who happened to talk
with him paid for 1t. Then he had his best
suit with him. and that was burned, and the
poor fellow was in a good deal of doubt how
ne was to get back to Chicago where he
would be assigned to another car. He would
be given transportation, but how he was to
live was what bothered him. Moral: Be
contented with three meals day, and don't
envy the hero who lost both legs In the war;

1t Was His Treat.

Those who happened to be down on
the Grand Trunk wharf Wednesday, thought
there was bound to be the tallest kind of a
row and ruction. A man walked along the
wharf. and companion followed him, both
had been drinking too much, and both were
inclined to fight. As they were walking
along, it occurred to the one who was behind
that it might be well for him to get in his
work first, and so he knocked the other off
the wharf. Down he went like McGinty ito
the bottom of the sea. dressed In his best
suit of Clothes" When he padded to boat,
and then got up the wharf, the spectators
looked for fun. Not a step did the other
bulge, but as the wet looking party APP
preached he simply said, "Come and get a
drink. it's my treat" and they walked off
together like two brothers.
