Resisting an omcer.

George r. Foote, brutal looking
bully of Shows alley, filed himself
with bad whisky last night and pro-
ceeded to take possession of the squalid
thoroughfare. Officer Maddox heard
him and attempted to make an arrest,
but Foote resisted and drew pistol on
the policeman The man grappled
with him and attempted to use the
weapon, but the officer was too big for
him and threw him down on the
rough stones of the alley with force
which took his breath away. Then he
dragged him to the station and pre-
fercd four charges against him.

The Queen of Portugal some time ago

enthusiastic in its praise. Not entirely
satisfied with verdict which could not
well help but be swayed by affection or
interest, the Queen sent It, anonymously,
to a publisher. That discriminating
and impartial judge returned it with the
stereotyped phrase of refusal, "de-

But was she right? 1t isa matter of
doubt, at least A publisher looks
upon manuscript submitted TO him

tion with him is, win it please the

THE Critic feliciiates its handsome
morning contemporary. Handsome
animated things are usually vain, proud
and boastful, pretending, in the con
seriousness of their own superior spleu-
dor, to see no merit in the beauties AMI
virtues of others When the robin
sings, the peacock spreads its dazzling
plumage, as if to ridicule the happy
melody of its little neighbor. The Post
is refreshing exception to this natural
instinct It's modesty is a chastisement
TO all presumptuous beings. Though it
is fully aware of its own charms, it whis-
pers them rs chastely as the maiden
breathes her prayer. Theve thought
of the boastfulness of others makes it
blush. AS for bespattering itself with
self-adulation-perish the possibility
The Post is lovely study in the clean
illness of modern journalism.

CHICAGO. April 1.-The general pas
senger agents of the Western roads met
to-day to again take up the question of
recognizing the Western States Pas
seDger ASSOCIATION. This was in &C
cordance with the resolution adopted
last week. which provided that such a
meeting should be held in case the
agreement was not signed by all the for
mef members of the association by
April l. Several of the roads have not
signed, and among these is the Mis-
souri, Pacific, which also declined to send
representative to to-day's meeting. 1t
is understood that the Missouri
Pacific has decided not to subscribe to
any agreement at present on account OF
the traffic contract of the Union Pacific
and the Chicago u Northwestern. The
Burlington, Cedar Rapids 81 Northern
and the Iowa Central both decline to
JOIN the proposed association, but
promise to live up'to its rules and regu-
lationS so long as they can do so with
out detriment to their own interests.
The Wisconsin Central. notified the
meeting that owing to the change in
management oceasioned by the lease OF
that line by the Northern Pacific it
could not say what its course would be
before about Aprll 10. Accordingly an
adjournment was taken until that date.
1t is generally conceded. however, that
unless the Missouri Pacific comes in, no
organization can be effected.

New YORK, April 4.-The senate
committee to investigate cities of this
state. and which has recently probed
the sheriff's offices, will tomorrow be
called upon by men of the Central Labor
union. They will present the investi-
gators with a formidable document,
which alleges that the police depart
ment is "a menace and disgrace to the
CITY," The force, as a body, is char
acterized as dishonest, brutal, even
criminal" 1t is charged with having
reduced the art of blackmailing to a
science, maintained system OF ter
r0rlSm over certain classes of the
community, eXerted itself in the inter-
ests OF certain candidates, established
a system OF espionage over respectable
citizens for no other purposes than to
prosecute them should they offend the
powers that be. The presentment
further charges that men pay large
bonus for positions on the force, so
profitable has the business become, and
that a man must buy his grade from
roundsman up to superintendent. ut
is a matter of common nOtoriety." con-
tinueS the document, THAT police Off

New YORK. April. -Notwithstand-
ing the rain and the heavy road, at least
500 dead Cinnamon were made happy
to-day at the various New York cene-
teries. 1t was ''Sho zee day." or,dec-
Grafton day, among the Chinese Of
America. On this day the dead China
men have big demonstration at. their
respective fesidences-the graves
whittier their friends and relatives are
expected to bring them their annual
provisions. These consist not only, of
choice roasted pigs, chickens and other
delicacies of the American and Chinese
markets. but even wives and servants.
These last are an imperative trib-
ute, although in life the deceased
may have been bachelors and not rich
enough to hit the pipe but once year.
They are supposed to have left the mis-
fortune of poverty and all others behind
them in the body, while their spirits en-
joy the life of nabobS. But these en-
iayments must be started to them from
this side of the mysterious river. The
paper bloases and money that the devo-
tees burnt to-day at the graves are
changed into silken garments, and the
yellow paper slips into pure gold bars
to-day in the other world; so were the
beautiful paper wives and pretty paper
servants of both sexes. There were
about 200 of these females reduced to
ashes IN Evergreen and other cemeter
les, and almost as many roasted pigs
were set before the graves, and after
ward swallowed by Cinnamon who were
not yet dead.

The Mackey System Said to Have
Changed Hands.

LOUISVILLE. KY, April 1.-The
Times this evening says advices have
been received from New York that the

the Louisville. Evansville q st. Louis
air line: the Evansville Il Indianapolis;
Evansville u Terre Haute; Peoria,
Decatur & Evansville, the Tell
City q Cannelton, the Illinois
& st. Louis and the Rock
port, Jasper & Mt. Vernon railway-a
total of $50 miles. In regard to this re-
ported deal, j. G. Fawcett, a railroad
contractor of this city, said tonight; 81
heard at Cincinnati yesterday that the
Vanderbilts had bought the Cincinnati,
Wabash & Michigan road from Mr..
Mackey, and have excellent reasons to
believe it is true: but | do not know as
to the other roads of the Mackey SyS-
tenn. The Michigan lines would be a
good feeder for the Big Four"
and as the latter has to use
the Michigan road to get into Indian
apolis, the road would be useful to them"
General Manager Evans, of the Mackey
system, left the city today, and there
was no other official of the Mackey sYS-

ating for the purchase of the Chicago u
