the defendants alleged refusal to do duty
about twenty miles off the coast OF Virginia.
Witness said he ordered Wilson to tar the ropes
cut he twice refused because his hand was sore
The defendant said he refused to tar the rope
because he was not furnished with a brush and
he did not want to use his hand because the
tar would injure it. He accused the master of
having used bad and threatening language to-
ward him.

captain had not complied with. The court

THEY WERE ALL FOUND GUILTY.
The Trial of Police Sergts. Duvall, Con-

The Commissioners today received the find
ings of the trial board in the cases of Sergeants
Duvail, Connolly and Jones and Private More
land OF the police force, who we're tried by a
board consisting of Col Robert, Chief of Police
Moore and Capt. Austin for vio-
iating the regulations of the po-
lice department in failing to report
the character of the house occupied by Griffin
S. Reed. 1t will be remembered that The STAR
has from time to time called attention to the
facts connected with this case and how Col.
Robert personally visited the place in question
and found sufficient evidence, in his opinion
to refuse the house liquor license.
The trial took place several days ago and the
board was unanimous in finding them all
guilty and recommending that Sergts Duvall
and Connolly and Private Moreland be dis
missed from the force and Sergt. Jones
be reprimanded and cautioned to exercise
more watchfulness in the future. These
papers have not as yet been acted upon by the
commissioners, but it is believed that they
will approve the findings of the board.
especially in view of the fact that Col. Robert
has conducted these investigations himself.
The officers implicated seem to have OBJ
tanned a notion of the findings of the board.
for already great deal of influence has been
brought to bear upon Col. Robert to change
his decision. The colonel, however, is firm
and 1t is understood will stick to his position.

Some of the London newspapers have
been inconsiderate enough to harrow the
feelings of polite society by publishing
the tale of an East End tragedy whereby
n dock laborer died of starvation. Mark
Vale was the victims name, and his
neighbors report him to be a temperate,
steady man, who made every effort to
obtain sufficient work to support his
family, consisting of a wife and five
small children. He had a little money
due him On Thursday, and dropped dead
at the paymaster's feet as he received it.
The doctor who made the post morton
said death was due to starvation, and
the mans stomach was entirely empty.
The eldest boy told the coroner that their
father had eaten nothing since the pre-
vious Saturday, though the children had
had a little stew twice since then. Their
father ate nothing in order that there
should be more for his little ones.
The West End was quite shocked when

Bene1s-tions from the Dead As Illustrated
by the EEyptfAns-

BenetAEItionr ron n jena n AAAusiEhtcn
by the Egyptians
A package of peas was once found in
a fold of the wrappings of an Egyp-
tan mummy, where it had lain undis-
turbed 5000 years. The peas were at
once soaked in tepid water and after
wards planted. They soon terminated,
grew finely, and produced a good
crop. 1t will be remembered that at
various times kernels Of wheat have
been found in the wrapping cloths Of
mummies, which, on being planted,
have grown and flourished finely.
The above facts teach us a very in
tersting lesson regarding the Egyp-
tians Of the years far, far back; it is
this: Their religion taught them to
provide for the continuance of the
fruits of the earth in remote times,
30 hat the blessings of God might
be made manifest to man as well
through the bounties of nature as in
the growth of the spirit. And thus
they made use of death for the trans
mission of the germs of life to ages in
the incalculable future, for they knew
that the repose of the dead was sacred
among the people of the passing gen
erations, and that only chance and
natural changes and causes would re
veal their good works-reproducing
for others, perhaps at q time when the
need would be greatest, those life Civ
ing plants whose benefits they had
enjoyed.
If the Egyptians honored the dead
with costly burials, they took care
that life should have the benefit Of
death in something more durable than
monumental stone and the fulsome-
ness Of eulogy. How much nobler,
how much higher, the economic moral
ity OF this han the later custom of
placing marble memorials Over or be
side the dead, and inscribing upon
them, notaiways the true character of
the occupant of the tomb, but a sup
posititious one which wealth could
purchase-perhaps a lie to the genera
ton then passing onward, and only a
description Of that which should come
after.
The Egyptian priests tried their
dead, in solemn court and and with IN
imposing ceremonial, and they gave
honorable burial only to those who
had been honorable in their lives.
Why may we not believe hal those
dead in whose custody were left seeds
for the reproduction OF fruit in after
ages were persons of peculiar sanctity
of lives or distinguished by the noblest
virtuesl We may venture to suppose
that these things were confided TO their
ghostly keeping 70 that the blessings
of the inheritance might be magnifed
to us.
The world is every day learning by
sharply presented contrasts to respect
more and more highly the wisdom and
religion of those mighty men of Egypt
whose histories they have $ 20 carefully
handed down to us. Their monoliths
and tablets, thus inscribed, now thou.
sands of years old, if left where they
belong, under the burning heaven of
the east, and enveloped by a pure,
clear atmosphere, will be fresh, com
paratively, as though newly hewn
when our shafts and memories shall
have crumbled into dust, u books
become widowed and worm eaten
and the memories of our honorable
dead shall be perpetuated only in sther
and perhaps inaccurate histories. -
James NJ. Stewart in Washington
Post.
