Tho New York police have three
styles of clubs-lsnown as billcts, dress
sticks and locusts, says tho New York
Sun. The locust, which is also called
tho night stick, is u plain piece of round
locust wood 20 inches long and tx
inches thick, and Is carried only at
night. AS u rule, tho policeman keeps
It in his hand and swings it about by
tho thick leather thong which passes
through 1t inches from tho end. He
can, however,, carry 1t In his belt The
oillete are rosewood, ebony, ironwood
or cocoboio Every policeman must
furnish his own, and thus has an oppor-
tunity OF exercising his taste. The
regulation billets are 10, 10 or II inches
long, and the policeman may select the
size which he likes best The billet Is
always carried in the hand. The dress
stick Is used mostly on great occasions,
but often In the winter when the men
wear heavy coats, they carry these
sticks In their belts. The dress stick,
In fact, is always carried in the belt,
and Is never drawn except for salute or
serious business. The regulation stick
is 90 inches long and is worn with n
silk cord and tassel at the handle. It Is
always of rosewood and the color of the
cord and tasscl Is red for patrolmcn,

tragedy. A physician was in attendance
soon after the affair occurred gave it as
