EN-Chaplain bullock speaks oil Dis
honesty in Official Life.
Rev, DR.. j. J. Bullock Of the Presby-
terian Church, and late Chaplain of the
United States Senate, preached yester-
day at Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Episcopal Church from text: / John,
16, Hereby perceive we the love of
God, because He laid down His life for
u.s." The Doctor, in the course of his
remarks, said; "There has been a terri
bic collapse of conscience and general
decentralization of the people, as is evil
dent from the prevalent dishonesty so
common among those in official sta
tons"
He expressed it as his deliberate
opinion, corroborated by some of the
ablest and best men in the land. that
one prolific cause of all this was that
many Of the most popular preachers of
the day fail to preach the gospel in all
its purity and fullness. They leave out
the holy law of God, with its stringent
precept and awful penalty, and they
seem to have no thorough conviction
of the truth of the absolute and eternal
punishment of the wicked.

ally shot Saturday evening by COM
panion named George w. Gates. The

When the Fifth Precinct Station.
House was opened the first prisoner
locked up there was man named j.
NJ. Meyer, who was arrested for drunk
enness, and in accordance with the
custom in several other precincts the
station keeper named the prison in his
honor, and a sign bearing the legend,
"Aloyer Prison" was nailed up over
the entrance to the cells.
Mr.. Meyer, however, did not ap-
preciate the honor that had been done
him, and the otherday he wrote letter
to the District Commissioners com
planning that ii was not right that every
person visiting the station-house should
be reminded that he was once pris'
oner there, and asking that the sign be
taken down. The Commissioners have
therefore, ordered its removal, and q
