becoming so bold. that they stand in the
public streets, and, with shotguns, shoot
at pigeons flying over, making it danger
Gus for the people in the neighborhood
We are also very much annoyed by
men and boys with parlor rifles, who
think that as long as they are on the levee
they have a right to shoot at anything
they please. 1t is not an unfrequent thing
to have bullet whiz past your head.
We have borne this annoyance for a
long time without complaint. and we now
ask for protection, being within the city

we have that right.

sion You are a brick" or ''He is a
brick, - ''They are bricks?' Why should
human beings ever be compared to
bricks? ELLA AND BESSIE, Sacramento.
1t is colloquialism, meaning good
fellow. There are several stories as to its
origin. Rossiter johnson in the Book
Buyer gave this reply and he is superior
authority: Arcesilaus, King of Sparta,
was asked by visiting philosopher why
his capital city was unprotected by a
wall. The King took his friend to the
plains on the edge of the city lands, and
pointed to his armed guard, 10000 strong,
all in martial array, each helmet glisten-
said, ''are the walls of Sparta and every
man brick" Hence, "he's brick, !" has
come to mean he is stalwart, guard, a
protection, he is brave, firm or brilliant
or gallant and heroic.

Albany, Ga, April 29-Sherif Ed
Black Of Early county is hero in AL
bany tonight Yesterday a flying
jenny man struck the city and applied to
the mayor for a license and was told by
his honor that such an instrument would
be supplied TO him at the rate of s25
day. This was rather steep for the flying
jenny man, and after he had left the
mayors Office he became very angry and
began TO pour down libations to drown his
disappointment. While he was taking
drink in saloon he gave
vent TO his anger and expressed
the wish that Sherman's army was in
existence so they could burn the blank
town down. Sheriff Black, who was pres
ent, told the fellow not to repeat the re-
mark or he would have to take the con-
sequences. The remark was not re-
peated, and the fellow went out, but re-
turned and asked the sheriff to take a
drink with him. The sheriff replied that
he did not drink with his sort This set
the flying jenny man wild, and he became
very abusive, but before he had time to
express himself as freely as he desired
the sheriff had fallen upon him and smote
him hip and thigh. The fellow endeavored
to use a knife on the officer but that was
taken from him, and he was kicked into
the streets and shortly afterward left

GERMANY's ARMY BILL.
The Fate of the Measure to be Decided
phis Week.

Berlin, April 29-When the report of
the committee ON the army bill was pre-
sentcd to the Reichstag few days ago
Herr Won Levotsoon, the president, pro-
posed that the debate on the report should
open on Tuesday. The leaders Of the
different groups ConCurred in the opinion
that four days would suffice for the dis
cuSSlon. SO n week hence the fate
OF the bill will have been settled
and ono phase of the crisis ought to be
over. To-day Chancellor Won Caprivi caused
To preColato into the lObbieS information
to the effect that the government would
cause the second reading of the bill to be
postponed, presumably because Emperor
William desires to be present in Berlin on
the evening of the dissolution of the
Reichstag. Even at the last hour Chan
cellor Won Caprivi has, with no apparent
chance of success, made fresh overtures
Tor support TO the Ccntcrist leader. Count
Von Ballcstrem through Mai. Won Heinin-
gen-Iiuenc, another prominent member of
that party. 1t is reported that the latter
is reinforced by a letter from Cardinal
Ledoehowsl1i, prefect of the propaganda
hde, urging the center party to try TO
come TO terms with tho government on
the bill. There is no doubt what
ever that since the interview given
by the pope to Marshal Bieberstein, the
imperial minister of foreign affairs, that
some current of Cancellation with the
vatican has set in which has been vaguely
but perceptibly flowing around the mem
bers of the Reichstag. No one,
however, who is well informed
of the opinion held by the centerists
could doubt their unt1inchfng adhesion
to existing decisions. True, there are in
dividual waverers, but even these, when
the division comes, are likely to throw off
the strong personal influences that Arch
bishop Koff and a few other Catholic per
sonages are cXerting, and go with the
majority against the bill. No occult
pressure can overcome the fact that is
weighing most with the centerists that tho
rcpugnancc of the Catholic electors is so
strong against the bill that members rep
rescnting the party in the Reichstag
would certainly be punished by their
constituents if they failed to observe the
pledges that they have made.

less After a Lively Session.
Berlin, April 99.-For the moment the
public is so utterly absorbed in the ALL
wardt inquiry that nothing else political
has any interest. The affair reached a
climax to-day in a scene that was with
out parallel in the history of the Reich
stag. The committee appointed to exam
inc the documents submitted by Herr
Ahlwardt in support OF the grave charges
Of corruption he has made, held plenary
meeting to-day TO discuss their report.
Herr Bebel described Herr Ahlwardt' s
documents as worthless He declared
that they were Incorrect copies of old
pamphlets, with concocted interpolati
badly spelled and containing a number of
erasures One of the letters was I'M
doubtedly forgery
Notwithstanding these disclosures,
Herr Ahlwardt remained callous and un-
abashed and declined to withdraw his
charges.
A remark Of DR. Lieber, expressive Of
disgust, brought Herr Ahlwardt TO his
feet with an abusive TRADE and he finally
left the committee room, shouting that he
would not remain to be insulted. He
then rushed into the lobby where he told
a group Of his friends that the committee
would next declare him mad
The committee briefly passed a report
affirming that all the charges were base
less.
