POLICEMAN KAvANAGH's COON.

Oaptatn Lange's Joke on Detective
O'Neil-"Don't Say a Word"
Policemamau Kavauagh of the Second
precinct, who lives on Church street near
jordan avenue, was returning hoine
early yesterday morning by way Of Jor-
dan avenue. when he saw what he at FIR st
COOK TO be a spitz dog run across the
street. On looking the second time, how
ever, ne saw that it was a raccoon, aud
shot it. He then hung it on a fence and
went home. 1t was afterwards ascer-
tained thar the coon weighed twelve
pounds. When Captain Lange OF the
Seventh precinct. who Is as fond of play
ing practical JOKES as his brother Captain
McKaig of the Fourth, heard OF the
shooting, he thought that it would be a
chance to have a laugh at Detective
John ONeilps expense, so when O'Neill
came III the Captain accosted him:-
"O'Neill, there WAS q coon shot in this
precinct last night. How is it that there
Is no report about it? I've got to make
my report aI Headquarters in an hour,
and what am l Go tell them? Must / tell
them that my men couldn't learn any of
the pa~rticulars?"
ONeiil, who terms all negroes coons,
immediately jumped to the conclusion
that u colored man was shot, He said
that he couldn't understand how it had
escaped him, as he thought he had COW
cred the precinct thoroughly. He said he
was sorry he had missed it, but would
Immediately investigate the matter. He
started down the street on a dog trot, and
on Jordan avenue, by diligeut inquiry,
ascertained the true particulars Of the
case. He was mad clear through, 8 o he
repaired to 1.-The Morgue." a saloon op.
posite the station house, and braced him :
self before facing his Captain. When he
returned to the station house Captain
LANCE greeted him pleasantly, and asked
whether he had learned all the particu-
lars, n If he had seen the body of the
coon. O'Neil made no answer, but he
looked daggers.
Whenever a policeman meets him now
he is asked:-"How about that coon,
O'Neill. He has a stereotyped answer
for all, Don't say q word" He won't
hear the last of his coon hunt for some
time, but he takes the guying manfuIly.
The coons of Jordan avenue, that is.
the colored people. profited by Kavan-
agh's shot. If O'Neill didn't. Last night
they cooked the coon and held a jolIifica-
tion. All the colored people on the ave-
nue. attended. There was d great smack
ing of dusky lips over the juicy steaks.
and the way they disappeared was a eau
ton. Blackville hasn'5 enjoyed such a
feast for many mouths, and IL will live
on the remembrance of it for many more
to come.

ave are as sure that II ood's S~arsaparil1a saved
our son Joseph's life as that the sun shines.
Five years ago on board ship our three boys
were ~vaccinated. Joseph had a very sore arm,
SO bad at one time that We were afraid it would
have to be taken off. Atlength it seemed to get
well, but about two months after, he began to
complain of soreness and paini in the vaccinated
arm. He had occasionally shown some signs Of
s~crofula, but nothing serious. His arm, how
ever, grew worse and worse and became swollen
and covered with sores. The inflammation and
sores also spread all over bis body, and he
was a mass of corruption,

A misery to himself and almost breaking our
hearts with anguish over his dreadful condition.
Many a time did I wish he was dead and out

1.-THE eruption was especially severe back of his
ears and over his head and the lower part OF
his face. We had to cut off all his hair we
could, as it was impossible to comb through tho
mass of hard crust and matter. Physicians did
him no good, and three specialists at the Eye

Nothing Could be Done.
They said it was a blood disease caused by
impure vaccination. Ono night ] happened

WASHINGTON. ID. C. May II, 1893
There has been a shaking up of dry bones
ia the Treasury Department.. A
list is being made OF clerks and other EN-
ployes who do not 20 nome 10 vote.
There are quite a number OF New Jersey
people in the list.
Secretary Carlisle decided to name a sue
cessor to Chief Sturteyant, of the Station
erv Division. it was said In his behalf
that he was not a p"olitician-that he
had not voted in thirty years. This
statement opened the eyes OF the Sec
rotary aud he expressed himself rather
vigorously. He could not understand. he
said, why a man who was credited TO a
State aud who had the right to exercise
the privilege of suffrage should refrain
from going to the polls. This" said the
Secretary, lis the duty of every man. aud
he who neglects this duty is not a good
citizen"
Inquiry ia the department shows that a
large proportion of the clerks stay at
home on election day. They are willing
to let the prunt of the fight fail upon Il
few enthusiastic and vlgorou men,
while they sit back aud attempt to keep
their places through a mastery inacilv-
ity. Mr.. Carlisle wants 10 know who
these people are, and he will know as
SOOu as the llSU eau Oe ulduc OUb. IL i
strike q good many men who are credited
TO New Jersey, but 1T can be added that
no steps will be taken just now TO remove
any of these barnacles. Mr. Carlisle
will wait and see if they go to the polls
next November.
Up to the present time New Jersey,
seems to have been overlooked in the dis-
%tr1bution of the chiefs OF divisions In the
Treasury Department. There are
eighty-ive of these places n quite n
number have been flied, but New Jersey
has net drawn any of the prizes. There
are several applicants from the State on
the books, but nobody seems to be press
ing their claims. The places pay $4,000 a
year, and it is said at the Treasury De-
partment that a State OF the Importance
of New Jersey is entitled to at least two
tut of the eighty-five.
Secretary Carlisle yesterday appointed
e. s. Palmer, of New Jersey. Special In
spector of Customs.
Senator Smith is expected to be in

amateur Criticism of Dickens

AIuabCuE OTItACI6AA Va DtCAOASs
We are fairly paralyzed at the
errors Major Pangborn fell into last
night in his discussion of Charles
Dickens. When he spoke of the
great novelist developing his literary
style as a reporter, he simply ran
counter to all judicious ideas on the
subject. The c%oncensus of opinion
is that Dickens style is marred by
two things, his lack of finished aca-
demic education and the reportorial
habit, of which he never wholly freed
himself But this is a minor error.
Major Pangborn speaks of Dickens
as writing Pickwick to order, to suit
the plates prepared by another man.
Now this is one of the absurdist mis-
representations that mortal man was
ever guilty OF. 1t is. an exploded,
used-up, WORKOUT old nursery tale OF
literary criticism. Dickens himself
has contradicted it in every detail,
and with a breadth and emphasis
which leave nobody the ghost OF an
excuse for repeating it. The Majors
repetition of it, last night, simply sug-
qests that he has never read Forster's
life, or Dickens own letters, for il ne
did lie could hardly have fallen into
such an egregious error.
AS for Mr.. Rabbits comparison Of
Dickens characters to the little girl
who was ultimately spanked most
emphatic we believe, it is a very par
rial and narrow criticism indeed. II
might be applied, perhaps, to half a
dozen or so of Dickens most notable
creations, the Bof1ins, Mark Tapley,
Little Nell, the Cheerable Brothers
and Little Dorrit, on the n hand,
