Saloons in New York Were Closed.

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst's onslaught on the police
Of New York has already borne fruit. 1t was
very difficult yesterday to find saloon open
in that city to which admittance could be
gained. The few that did admit customers
through side doors or rear entrances had 'look-
outs" stationed outside, and no one who was
not known could get in. The most frequented
places down town were closed tight and men
might be seen singly and in groups going from
saloon to saloon in vain in search for a drink
1t was probably the driest Sunday New York
has ever seen. Most OF the hotel bars were
closed, hut in some Of them drinks we're
served with crackers and cheese at tables. 1t
is said that the general closing of the saloons
at II o'clock Saturday night and yesterday is
due to the police, who notified the saloon
keepers that they must close.

would take $4,000 members to Chicago if the
project goes through.

coMrL1nrxr1xa JUDGE M1LLER.

Colored Jurors Thank Him for His Fair
ness-A Presentation From the Panel.
The April term Of the Police Court began
Saturday was an interesting scene. The judge
complimented the jury upon their good service
and reluctantly discharged them.
Juror Douglass then arose and, addressing
the court, said:
when men stoop to elevate those lower in
station than themselves they are themselves
elevated in the sight both Of God and man, and
1t is to that end that desire, on behalf Of the
Afro-American portion of this jury, to express
our thanks for the kind consideration you have
given the cases brought before you against
those of our race who are poor, detected, lg-
norant and despised
'And permit me, your honor, to say that
frequently my heart has been touched with
gratitude for the sympathy shown and the kind
ADVICE given, though they were covered Win
rags; and in no instance have you failed to
allow justice to be tempered with mercy"
Judge Miller thanked the colored members
Tor their kind words and said he would treas
ure them as the most pleasant remembrance
OF their services in their administration OF JUS
tlce. He hoped that matters would always be
that way and that the only criterion would be
guilt and innocence.
Juror Bailey, on behalf of all the jurors, then
addressed the court and presented the judge
with a handsome silver water set. Deputy
Clerk Joseph Harper and Bailiffs Bolts and
Hooe were each presented with set Of knives
and forks.
The pleasant episode was brought to close
by the reading Of few lines written by Juror
j. NJ Hall. He is a colored man whose head ID
as free of hair as the palms OF hands, and his
lines were as follows:
-. Having sat in your presence as a juror for
the present term, I deem it my duty to con-
graduate you upon your fair and just rulings
Will further say that you have had the pleas
ure to have had juror man like whom no
other judge has ever had, namely, hairless
man.
Following this was a general handwriting
ana the court adjourned.

THE STEAM ENGINEERING BILL.
ITS Passage Recommended by the Commits
siOners After Certain Amendments.

It's Passage Recommended by the Commits
sioners After Certain Amendments.
Upon further consideration of Senate bill
2OS5, ITO regulate steam engineering in the
District of Columbia" the Commissioners have
sent letter to Congress saying they are Of
opinion that the enactment Of the bill as
amended would be conducive to public safety
and not essentially prejudicial to any private
interest concerned.
The discussion at the advertised hearing they
say developed the fact that there are certain
classes of United States licenses which do not
require very great amount of experience or
skill on the part of the licensee, and are issued
to persons to take charge Of the engines of small
boats and other minor steam apparatus, who
should not be exempted from examination
when applying for licenses to manage more
complicated steam plants. The Commission
ers, therefore, recommend that the word
especial" be inserted after the word States in
line of section /.
The words mo person employed by the
United States governments or holding a sala-
ried position under the District Commission
ers shall be appointed as examiner in lines
IL to IA OF section 2. should be stricken
out, as the Commissioners fail to dis
Germ how the holding Of such positions
is disqualification in the premises.
Strike out three" in line 3, section A. and in
sert two" in lieu thereof. The words ''as fire.
man In some steam boiler room, fire room or
engine room" in lines 6 and Z, section 5,
should be stricken out and the words
employed in some capacity in attendance
upon steam boilers and engines affording him
the necessary experience to qualify him to re-
ceive license under this law, inserted in lien
thereof. The words three licensed engineers"
in lines and 9, section s, should be stricken
out and 1.-TWO reputable citizens" substituted
therefor.
All of section after the word dollars in
line should be stricken out for the reason that
In view OF the value Of the property Of the en-
ployer there will be no necessity to resort to
such an ignominious method of enforcing pay
ment of fine imposed under that section.
The word ''three," in line 4, section II,
should be stricken ont and the word two" in
serted, as adequately providing for the con-
tingent expenses of that board.
