New-York tribune., 1890-05-21

A salutary lesson has been taught to the
police force, especially to the men who fill
the higher posts, by the punishment meted out
to Captain Hooker. IIooker's treatment of
Manager Hammeystein was nothing more or
less than persecution without excuse or pallia-
ton. The police captain sought to be re-
venged because he had not received enough
favors in the shape of theatre tickets, which, on
account of his position, he had presumed to
demand. The result of Hookcr's trial will
have decided tendency to discourage any
imitation of Hookers methods. He loses
months salary and goes to post where he will
have no further occasion to demand theatre

The argument in the Kemmer case before
the United States Supreme Court was a re-
threshing of old straw. No new points were
developed, and no apparent reason given why
the power of the Federal judiciary should have
been invoked in order to prolong the life of a
poor wretch who has richly earned the penalty
prescribed by law for murder. 1t is gratifying
to learn that there is strong likelihood that
the courts decision will not he kept back later

You want to keep your skin nice all

rules for you:
Don't bathe In hard water; soften 1t
with few drops of ammonia or little
borax.
Don't bathe your face while II Is very
warm, and never use very cold water
for 1t.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless II is with little al
cohol and water or little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water give your face hot bath,
using plenty Of good soap, then give it
thorough rinslng with water that has
had the chill taken off of 1t.
Don't rub your face with a coarse
towel; Just remember IL is not made of
cast iron, and treat it as you would the
finest porcelain-gently and delicately.
Don't use sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid of wrin-

bath every night--that Is bathe 1t with
water so hot that you wonder how you
can stand II, and then a minute after

A SCENE OF THE WAR.
A Captain Who Hauled Down His
Flag to Save His Cargo.
From ne Me,O York Star.

From the NeD York Star.
Captain Robert Watson Fuller, an
old.time commander of American sail
ing vessels, died in Brooklyn yesterday,
at the residence of his son in law, John
Gay, the publisher, 1121 Bergen street.
Captain Fuller was in his 93d year.
The last ship he commanded, the sail
ing vessel Metropolis. was seized and
burned by General Butler at New Or
leans during the civil war. The Me-
tropolis was loading at New Orleans
when tn war broke out and was seized
by the Confederates. She was re-
leased upon condition that her captain
would haul down the Stars and Stripes
and replace them with Dixie's flag.
This he consented to do In order to save
ship and cargo.
After he got out of the Mississippi
River and into the Gulf of Mexico he
fell in with Federal cruiser, which
promptly siezed the Metropolis as a
prize. Captain Fuller's explanation as
to why the stars and bars flew at his
masthead was unsatisfactory to the
Union authorities, so the Metropolis was
burned, The identical flag which was
lowered at the request of the Confeder.
ates will be buried with Captain Fuller
in accordance with his last wishes. II

There was kindergarten trial in the

the defendant nor the prosecuting wit
ness were over years old, and the two
witnesses who saw the affray were about

Judge Miller said he did not like to
to see cases of this description come
into court, for he did not like to fine
children for petty offenses of the nature
charged.
/ In this case, however, he imposed fine
of So on Eugene Anderson for striking
a boy with a stick, and explained that
he only did so to demonstrate to the
father that he must exercise a little

arrived in Washington at Z o'clock this
morning and is now performing before
$4,000 people at North Capitol and M
streets.
Thousands have been turned away
and the streets in the immediate vicin-
ity are seething, surging mass of hui
manity. The great free street parade
took place this morning and all Wash
ington was out in force to witness It,
1t was something stupendous. At no
time in the history of the world were
there so many costly objects, such won
derful vehicles OF such elegant costumes
publicly shown.
Among the large number of new
chariots seen were the golden one of
Cinderella, marine chariot of Sinbad
the Sailor, the Sleeping Beauty of the
Wood, Robinson Cruso, Bluebeard,
Mother Goose, Santa Claus and others,
some of which cost as much as $4,000.
There were thirty golden chariots,
seven open dens of wild beasts, with
trainers in each, two droves of camels
and herd Of elephants, many Of which
were harnessed to chariots.
! There were zebras, drawing fancy
chariots Of novel designs; ostriches.
llamas, guanocas, sacred cattle, white
mules, cages of birds, beasts and
reptiles, 400 Norman draught horses,
dancing girls, Arabians, music and
other novelties, TO enumerate which
would fill columns.
The parade stretched over mile Of
ground and its cost is placed at
81, 100000.
There are thousands of delighted
children present and the schools of
Washington are evidently lacking in
pupils to-day.
The arrangements are perfect and
those who witness the performances
tonight and tomorrow afternoon and

A Disappointed Worker.

From the Spltpapetd Repudtieda.
One of the absurd features of the last
Presidential campaign was the Harri-
sonian ball which one D. f. Brockett
rolled through thirteen States and the
District of Columbia, winding up in the
front yard of the Republican candidate
in Indianapolis, where the outfit was
photographed. This picturesque fea-
ture was lauded to an extent that led
the originator to expect an office after
election. He went to Washington in
search of his reward, but this has been
so long delayed that Brockett has been
driven to labor as trench digger.
