To the Editor of The Evening Star:
As there will doubtless be number Of foot
ball games here in the future, and as the crowds
will increase with the growing popularity Of
the game, suggestion to the police authorities
may not be amiss. There was a large attend
ance at yesterdays game at Capitol Park and
policemen present showed q wOcful ignorance
of their duties. To be sure, the force Of blue
coats present was entirely inadequate, and
there should be some allowance made for po-
icemen who had to keep the crowd back from
the east foul line without the aid Of ropes. but
there is no excuse for the wretched judgment
shown OH the bleaching board side. When the
game opened the spectators on that side were
all behind the stand fence. and policemen were
stationed at intervals to keep them there. But
they didn't do it nor did they pretend to doit At
an exciting dispute during the game the crowd
began leaving the bleaching boards, first III twos
and threes, and when it was evident that there
was no hindrance. in fifties. The attention of
the police was called to their negligence when
the first break was made, but they would not
even face the crowd. Later they were franti-
cally endeavoring to keep the people back from
the west foul line. When one Of them was
told by an indignant spectator that they had
neglected their duty, he replied: 1T would
never do for us to go out and begin clubbing
those young men over the head" He seemed
to think there was nothing between abject in
difference and brutal clubbing. To keep the
field clear there should be more policemen,
and those who are present should have some
idea of what they are there for.

and he said that when he drinks it effects his
head and he don't know what he is doing.
Sergt. Boyle related conversation he heard

they had bought too many half pints Of black
berry and gin.
The judge gave Clinton johnson the benefit
Of his never having been charged with such an
offense before and fined him S25 or sixty days.
So far as Walter was concerned the judge said
he was going to give him the same dose that he
intended to give others who continually assault
officers. His sentence was six months in Jail.

A Department Clerks Trouble.

Il am clerk in one of the departments" re-
sponded a nicely dressed young man when
questioned by Judge Miller. The young man
gave his name as John Belts. He was arrested
near 9th an6 F streets about o'clock in the
morning and the charge against him was pro-
family, The question of whether he was under
the influence of liquor or not was mentioned
and his reply was a denial, although he said he
had drunk some beer, but Policeman Williams
said that he was intoxicated. The trouble all
started because the young man suspected
another man Of evil intentions and he COM
planned to the officer. Judge Miller thought
that Belts got himself worked up over the af-
fair after the other man had gone away and
that he wanted to fight at long range. The
court finally fined the young man and suspended
sentence.

other articles from push carts will have to
keep OH the move except when making sale

A Bunch of KeYA.

A negro named Frank Brown, who was on
trial in the Police Court yesterday for disorderly
conduct, had a large bunch of keys in his
pocket. The presence of such bunch Of keys
on Brown the court thought was at least a sus-
picious circumstance. and the prisoner was
called upon to make an explanation concern
ing them.
He told a story of the keys and claimed that
they belonged to his sweetheart.
The judge doubted the truth of Browns
statement and Officer Sullivan went out and
brought in the prisoners sweetheart. She did
not corroborate the statement of her lover and
the latter was fined $40 or thirty days.

His Explanation Not satisfactory.

John Thomas. alias Henry Harris. the colored
man arrested on suspicion of chicken stealing,
as heretofore mentioned in TIE STAR, was
taken to the Police Court yesterday and
charged with being a suspicious person. He
was also charged with assaulting Policeman
Williams, who arrested him. The prisoner
plead not guilty to both charges and Judge
Miller heard the proof When arrested the
prisoner had a basket of dressed chickens il
his possession, which he was trying to sell. He
grabbed the officers by the throat and choked
him when the latter placed him under arrest.
He made several statements as to where he re-
sided and sent the officer off on many wild
goose chases looking for feathers. The defend
ant, in his own behalf, told Of how he got the
chickens from another man and in giving his
testimony he used the word met
The judge, interrupting, said, 81 guess you
did meet him and afterward left him to dress
the chickens"
He was required to give bonds or go down
for ninety days as a suspicious person. and was
fined $40 or thirty days for the assault.

d. Colburn was yesterday called upon in the
Police Cour: to answer a charge of threatening
his wife's life. Both husband and wife told
their sides of the affair, and the latter declared
that she was afraid he would kill her. Their
son was called as an impartial witness, and, al
though he did not say anything hattering about
his father, he sail he thought that his fathers
threats had no meaning to them. Judge Miller
in discussing the affair told the wife that it was
little game Of give and take. To the husband
he gave words of warming not to repeat the
offense. The husband was placed under $500

Each succeeding season makes it more ap-
parent that people are seeing the wisdom Of an
early selection of Christmas presents. The
success of the holiday Opening at the Palais
Royal is illustrating the fact. The "Child's
Dream of Christmas" which is depicted in one
of the show windows, is quite artistic, both in
conception and execution. while the interior
decorations are the most brilliant ever seen at
the Palais Royal. The completeness of the stocks
will also be noticed, and especially the variety
of choice goods. The lace handkerchiefs at eli,
pocket books at Sl4, seal capes at $50 and fans
at S35 are but few of the many high-priced
novelties that have attracted not only admirers
but purchasers

thrOng on Pennsylvania avenAe Wednesday
night by Capt. Annie Skidmore and others Of
the Salvation Army. The open air meeting
was held on the space near the corner of 7th

followed the Salvationists to their barracks on

the meeting so much that Policeman Col

appeared before Judge Miller yester-
day to enter complaint against the
prisoner. The latter admitted that he
made slight noise in the hall, but he dis
claimed any intention to disturb the meeting.

drunkards and said there's good deal Of
truth in that"
sort Of IN amen" remarked the court.
Dom was under the influence Of LIQUOR at the
time, and he was therefore well qualified to re-
