To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The winter promises to be a hard one
for the poor. 1t is important that they
should be helped as far as possible, with
out pauperiZng them. Something can be
done in this direction by enabling them to
obtain their supplies at low prices. Com
PEELED to buy coal, for example, in small
quantities, they now pay for it, if We are
correctly informed, at the rate of $l2 to
SIS a ton, or from two to three times as
much as it costs the rich. Could any char
ity be devised better or wiser or more ur-
gent than some plan by which they could
secure their fuel at more reasonable rates.
say by the establishment of depots of sup
ply at the police stations through the city
or at other points?
Possibly the coal merchants themselves,
in the stress that is pretty sure to be upon
us, might arrange to meet the necessities
of the case at slight additional cost.
Similar suggestions would be in place in
regard to grocery and market supplies
Far better than out and out gifts uhere
Will be plenty of these called for) will be
some arrangement by which the worthy
poor can purchase their own supplies at
the lowest possible rates. Only those who
come in contact with this class-I mean
the thoroughly deserving poor-Can under
stand the distress already upon many of
them and the anXieties with which they
are looking forward to the winter.

The Geological Society met last night at

Walcott in the chair. Secretary Cross read
the minutes of the preceding meeting and
tneywere approved. In conformity to the
custom of the society, the first half hour was
devoted to brief Informal talks Prof.
Hiiiebrand made plea for more thorough
analysis of rock, that all its properties, ex-
listing no matter in how small percentage.
might be accurately determined Perhaps
the system of analysis current might be all
that is now needed, but we owed 1t as a
DUTY to ourselves to tighten the tasks of
posterity. Although the necessity for alb
soiutely accurate analysis is not 50 much
felt now, the time was approaching when
IL would be essential in solving certain deli
cate problems. Incomplete analyses were
often misleading. Prof. Hillebrand chalked
on the blackboard the comparative ANALYSES
OF certain specimens of rock, the one a cur
rently accepted analysis and the other a
complete analysis. Several discrepancies
were revealed. Prof. G. p. Gilbert told of
his discovery of a base level bed at the
foothills of the Rocky mountains south of
Canon City, and at the base of Greenhorn
It's great antiquity. He illustrated his re-
marks with chalk. There were two formal
papers one by Prof. S. F. Emrnons from
notes taken on the geology of Lower Cali

ignorance concerning Lower California. 1t

Prof. X. T. Hill read a paper on the
southwestern extension of the Comanche
series. He told of how the manifestation
of this phenomena had first attracted him
in the wilds of the woolly west, and had led
him to the study of his chosen science; then
of how he had traced the Comanche series
down through Central America and as ia.
south as Ecuador, thence to the eastward

The Policeman and His Pistol.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
/ think every reader of your paper must
have been filed with Indignation and pain
and helpless man on the suspicion that
he might be thief. Is there any limit
whatever to the slightness of the reasons
for the use of a policeman's pistol? If a
man is detected in the commission of a
crime and resists the officer or If a con-
victed culprit attempts to escape from law
full custody or if the officers life is endan-
gered there may be a reason for his use of
the weapon with which the law arms him.
work, who is halted by two men in citi-
GEMS attre-a circumstance which might
alarm any one, and, suspecting them to
be two of the might Doctors of whom
his race Is in such terrier, he runs from
them. He has committed no crime; he is
not even suspected of one. But because he
will not stop for men whom he suspects
much more than they do him the poor fell
low is cruelty shot down and his harmless
life is probably ended. 1t is TO be hoped
that the law will sternly interpose in this
case and settle the fact that human life
is of too much value to be taken with such
careless lightneSs. Let every guilty man
be sternly punished, without the interpoSi-
ton of the mawkish sen tmentality that
saves so many scoundres from their just
deserts, but let ii be decreed that a man
against whom there is not even suspicion
shall be safe from pistol balls, even If he
commits the heinous offense of refusing to
stop at the call of an ununiformed police
