A SMART firm on Main street are dis
playing Grover Cleveland babies in their
show windows. Now this is all very
well. But there is certain style and
method in all things. The babies who
are exhibited in that window are all
good looking-perfect loves of babies
but they are at least year old. Then,
horrible to relate, they are blond babies,
while we have authentic assurances
that Growers tootsy-wootsy umpty
iddity is brunette. The Layout of the
Cleveland baby does not yet include
socks. which the blond babies in the
Main-street window are picking at, in
at least twelve months old infantile
play. Here is a baby anachronism of
the first proportions.

A POLICE SCANDAL.
The Story Told About Officer Vignes's
Resignation.

The Story Told About Officer Vignes's
Resignation.
The resignation of Officer Vignes was
accepted yesterday at the meeting OF the
police commissioners. Every effort has
been made to keep the matter leading
up to the resignation quiet in order to
avoid another police scandal. Vignes is
accused of accepting bride of $50 in a
case. Yesterday the HERALD noted that
a Frenchman named Toilet had been
fined $50 for taking liberties with a lit
tie Anaheim girl. Vignes arrested Follett
and the story as told is that Follett
offered Vignes bride of 800 if he got
him out OF the scrape. He put up 500
with Theodore Bauer under the condi-
ton that it was to go to the officer pro-
vided he got out of the serape. Follett
did no. get off so easily as he had an
ticipated. At all events it is alleged
that Bauer turned $50 of the money over
to Vignes. Chief Glass got wind OF the
matter and made an investigation.
There are several people who think
that Vignes is the victim OF q gang of
and that the whole matter is a put up
job. Vignes, however. seems to have
been willing to resign rather than get
dismissed or fight the case, which GER
tainly places the ex-police officer in a
bad light. 1t is alleged that Bauer adj
mitted, to the chief, giving Vignes the
money and that two other Frenchmen
claim that they saw him do it.

The demand for houses in resi-
dence portions of the city is increasing.
The eastern winter visitors are on their
way here in large numbers. The hotels
are filling up with strangers, and the
large boarding houses are receiving
numerous applications for accommoda-
tions. Before the winter is half through,
the accommodations available will be
overtaxed, and yet we hear of no move
towards the erection here of such hotel
as our CITY renuires.

DEEPER IN THE SOUP.
The Six Gay High Rollers Not Out of
Their Trouble.

Their Trouble.
The sextette of frolickers who were dis
turbed in the midst of their champagne
entertainment in room at Mrs. Pott-
hoff's lodging house on Main street
near Second, on Tuesday night and ar
rested on complaint of the landlady did
not leave well enough alone yesterday.
The six had each ten dollars bail up.
They wanted to get this bail money
back, so they consulted with Mrs. Pott-
hoff who few hours previous had burst
in upon them and not only disturbed
their pleasure but actually horsewhipped
one of the society young bloods of Los
Angeles. Mrs. Potthoff decided that she
would not sweae to the complaint. This
was the schemr to get back the sixty
dollars. 1t was figured that the sextette
could have glorious time with one-half
of the sixty dollars. AT all events, the
two young women appeared in front of
the police station in hack yesterday
afternoon at the time of converting the
police court. They were both heavily
yelled. The girls were there in case the
leaders deemed it necessary that they
should appear, The four young bloods
did not get their money back, not by ten
bottles OF champagne, for Sergeant JET
fries swore out complaint charging all
of them with disturbing the peace, the
landlady included. The men were all
arrested and gave $25 bail. Just before
midnight the two girls were found in
hiding in Spring-street lodging house.
One Of the boys was on hand to put up
their bail. The young high-rolers are
deeper in the soup than ever, and if the
case comes to trial will get considerable

ssTaxpayers. Protest.

EDITOR MoNlToR:-At the risk of being
called an ''old FOSSIL | feel called upon to
protest against the action of our Borough
Council in reference to the waterworks
scheme. The latest information | have
received is, that the plant gives the
borough a supply OF water, but the pres
sure is so weak that it will not afford fire
protection" Now my understanding is
that fire protection was the original idea
of the want of waterworks. What in the
name of Sam Hill" does this borough
want of a system of water supply if it does
Council by their actions say, the residents
of the borough have voted to have water
works and we are going to put them
through" notwithstanding the fact that
the majority of the community have
changed their minds since they have in-
vestigated the subject. ! am well satisfied
in my own mind if there was an election to
be held tomorrow to vote for or against
~aterworks. the vote would be two to one
against it. The protest of the tax payers
which was presented to Council a few
weeks since, is an evidence of the truth of
the above assertion. If there is any way
to fight this swindle l think it will pay
the taxpayers of the borough to expend
some money in that direction. have a
faint idea that an ordinance proposed or
passed by Council must be made public for
a certain Length of time. before it can have
any force or effect. | do not recollect see-
ing any publication of the ordinance in re-
ference to the waterworks, in either of our
papers. TAXPAYER.

In your last weeks issue, l notice that

five secret societies, but three of them are
considered beneficial; the I. o. o. F., K.

with Citizen" (although he lives beyo
the city(?) limits). 1.-THE l. o. G. T. aud
P. of H.. are not beneficial orders, what
are they? IF they do not benefit their MEM
bers, why do their members attend week
after week? If it does not benefit Citizen"
why is he a so regular an attender of the
grange, surely not altogether for the
slcial part. 1t is very plain to be seen by
''Citlzen's' letter that he is a member ofthc
Iron Hall. which is all right, and | have
nothing to say against the order, but when
he says that lit is the general impression
that no more orders are needed here at
present" | must say that | think he says
a little more than he knows. If he had
said it was the general impression with
Iron Hall members that we did not need a
lodge of the Mutual One Year Benefit
Order, he would have said Just what he
meant. But why Iron Hall members are
so opposed to the new order | can't see,
and if "Citizen'' will take the pains to read
a copy of Our Mutual Benefit. a paper pub
lished in the interest of the NJ. o. Y. B. o.,
he will find it contains nothing detrimen-
tai to O. I. H., but much in favor of it.

Not only is there a sort OF ''goneness'
in the oyster market in this section,

by an exchange, through Maryland as
we'll. 1t says:
Ten thousand two hundred boats are at
work on the Maryland oyster beds and are
not catching enough to pay expenses.
Fully one-half of the houses are closed.
Less than ten years 9 the receipts of
oysters at Baltimore were G. DOC, 600 bushels
by January 1st. Two years ago they were
1000, 900, this yea they are less than
2 900, 900, and the quality is the worst ever
known. At this rate of decrease there will
not be a million bushels caught next year.
General Joseph b. Seth, commander Of the
oyster navy, says that the State is face TO
face with the destruction OF the entire in
dustry which has been until this year
Maryland's greatest single source of
wealth.
