MlLLER'S JUSTICE.
THE GRIsT THAT IS BROUGHT TO 1T
EVERY DAY.

Opening Of the Baseball Season In Court
His Honor as m Umpire-Lucky Es-
cape of Street Gamin--Alleys Must
BE Kept Clear--A Vigilant HOokman
and Dishonest Boy.
The baseball season has commenced in
the Police Court as well as at the park
out ON Seventh street. Every year, about
this time, any number of small boys, are
brought before Judge Miller charged with
playing ball in the street. But the Judge
is an ardent admirer of the national sport
and he is generally very lenient to the
youthful culprits.
This morning Mark Davis who was
charged with playing ball on reserva-
tion, was fined So, and his love for ball
playing was damponed.
Charles Smith was so enthusiastic a
lover of the sport that he tried to pull q
board from the fence at the baseball park,
and he was assessed 50.
John Winters, another youngster, was
given a bit of advice and allowed to 80.
A Street Gamin.
His legs were bare; he had no hat b
cover the tangled mass of hair, and the
belt that held up his ragged trousers had

suspicious circumstances by Mr.. Small
wood, who keeps store in the southwest.

THERE Is A GROWING sentiment in favor
of the proposition that the successor to
Biigadier- General JOHN GIBBoN, soon to
he retired, should be taken from the artil-
lery branch of the service Very likely
this feeling has been strengthened by re-
cent developments which have suddenly
awakened the country to the importance
of pushing our coast defenses. We have
slept too long upon the fallacious dream
that the United States need not prepare
for war or anticipate events that will
bring our artillerists into prominence.
Pride has prompted us to build ships and
to rejoice in the prospect of some day pos
sessing a powerful navy, but infatuation
has kept MS Indifferent to the far more
vital necessity of coast defense. But pub
lie opinion has been aroused by the Italian
imbroglio. No one believes that any
thing serious will come of it, still less that
we need fear the worst that Italy might
do. We have been reminded, however,
that our fancied security is chimera, and
in the hasty survey of the situation that
syents have prompted, we perceive that
the arm of the service upon which we
must chiefly rely is the artillery arm. All
this naturally suggests the promotion OF
al artillery colonel to the place that will
De made vacant by General GIBBoN's re-
tiroment, especially since there has beer
40 such promotion in that branch fol

In the main building of the National

large-caved heads almost to thegl roof.
From these three palms can be extracted
the material for many good toddy, as
was fully explained to the Critic who

Smith Yesterday afternoon. One of these
palms. and il has the Longest Latin name
of the trio, is known by the natives Of
Northern Africa as whisky palm, or the
equivalent in Arabic. Tap the big hollow
stem and fiery liquor will trickle slowly
out. This is just as good as the average
whisky sold over the bar, and when
mixed with little of the cold sparkling
water that can be tapped from the big
palm that rears itself near by, and a little
of the sweet syrup that results from a
knife thrust in the body of the palm on
the other side, toddy can be mixed that
is very paatable and much liked by the
native Africans. The taste is peculiar,
but not at all unpleasant. II has all the
