"The people in this city may not have .

that's what they did in the district now repre-
sented by Mr.. Mndd. That Representative

South Washington and accused him of being

the accusation, but took Mr.. Mudd TO task for
the speech he hsd made. The latter tried TO
explain to the minister how his speech had

minded him that he had plenty Of time to pre-

TAKEN FOR CRIMINALS.
The Popular Idea About Odicials Who
Ride i'm the Patrol Wagons.


The police patrol wagons Of the first and sixth
precincts are used every day to transport the
clerk of the Police Court and other officials to
and from the police stations where the sessions
of the court are held. and when they all get in
the wagon there is not much room left. The
passage through the streets of the wagons at
tracts the attention Of persons who naturally
suppose that most Of the persons in the vehicles
are accused criminals and, from their general
neat appearance, they are taken for confidence
men. bunco steerers or three-card-monte sharks.
Judge Miller never rides in either wagon, as
he does not care TO be gazed upon by the pub
lie. while Judge Mills, when he held court for
a couple of weeks. took q seat among the other
officials and rode through tho streets.
Clerk Potts does not like the situation very
much, although he sometimes takes advantage
of the opportunity to save time and make the
trip in few minutes.
Bailiff kendig invariably takes q seat either
with the driver or at the rear end of the wagon,
and. fearing he might be taken for a criminal,
he uses his badge as special policeman TO let
the people see tina. he Is an officer.
Hack Inspector Quinian, who now has charge
OF the funds collected as fines in District cases.
also occupies seat IN one Of the wagons occa-
sionally.
Deputy Marshal Hall carries a book in his
hand to let people see that he Is an official
Bailif Hooe carries the seal of the court and q
box of papers. but persons unacquainted with
tie workings of the court know no better than
that the property is to be used as evidence in a
case. Oficer Madiys who has charge of the
prisoners, is used TO riding in the wagon with
prisoners, and he therefore pays no attention
10 what Is going on in the streets
When Deputy Clerk Harper makes the rounds
he always rides in the wagon. and one day he
was pointed out by a lady who wondered who
that good-looking young man was and what he
was arrested for.
why. that's Mr.. Harper" said another lady
to her. He isn't prisoner. He's one Of the
clerks of the Police Court"

LIGHTWEIGHT BREAD.
Several Bakers Wagons Raided by the
Police This Morning.

The police made raid ON bakers wagons
this morning, searching for lightweight bread,
and obtained evidence against a number of
bakers, on which warrants were issued, and the
cases will be heard in the Police Court day af-
ter tomorrow A large quantity Of bread was
taken and some of it was five ounces short &C
cording to the scales used by the officers 1t
was the intention Of Mr.. Dumont to hear the
cases in the Police Court today but this could
not be done owing to the absence of the seaer
Of weights and measures and the defendants.
Mr.. Dunont said that that official had been
notified to appear but as no legal summons
had been served on him an attachment could
not be asked for.
Judge Miller said that the sealer Of weights
and measures was the proper person to weigh
the bread, but tomorrow it would be too late to
weigh it. The court suggested that the officers
weigh the bread on stamped scales, but he did
not know that it would do them any good if
the defendants contested the weight The
bread, the court thought should be weighed as
soon as it was taken and that it should be done
by the proper person.
