THE HOLLYWOOD BRAND.

A witness before the Lexow Commit
tee yesterday, himself a liquor dealer.
testified that certain members of the
police force, notably Inspector Williams,
are the proprietors OF n certain brand
Of whiHkey. known as the Hollywood. y
The witness did not charge that
this whiskey Is OF inferior quality, mas
much as he has never tasted 1t. 1t Is.
he said a manufactured" or offended
whiskey, whatever that may mean,
II there 10 nothing In the Police law
to prohibit 1t, there In no harm in a
policeman having an interest in II busi-
ness. 1t may appear inconsisten, tor
the police to supply people with wills
key and to arrest them when they have
INDUCED In 1t too freely. But what other
dealers object to seems to be that the
police use their influence us members
| of the finest" to force the sale OF their
whlskey above other brands. At least,
| that Is the allegation of the l.exow
Witness. who says saloon-keepers are in
duced to sell Hollywood in preference
| to other brands "by intimidation and
other inducements" For instance, Holly
wood may be sold after hours and OIL
Sundays without subjecting the sellers
to arrest. and consumers may get fight
Ing drunk on Hollywood without fear OF
being taken in
All this tends to show the versatility
Of the police genius In the matter OF
making money. 1t must be remembered
however, in justice, that 1t is a riva
dealer who gives this testimony. and II
may, after all, be the superior quality
OF the Hollywood that gives 1t a sale
over other brands. The best way Il
settle this point will probably be FOL
Inspector Williams to send FIVE gallon!
OF Hollywood to each member of tn
Committee to enable them to test 1T
quality during the recess.

A SLIGHT ERROR.

Chairman Lexow denies that the testi-
muny before his Committee has impli-
Gated Republicans and Republican Off
Gals as well AZ Democrats. His eX-
IlHnatlon Is that while the officials In
VOWED may have been called Republi-
cans they were not Republicans. their
Republicanlam having been easily sol
uble In the Tommany Hall fluid
Mr.. Lexow makes the mistake OF re-
garding Republican Police Commission
crs as individuals, representing them
selves only and not their party. it Is
well known that they were appointed
rot through their own influence but
through the action OF their party lead
ers; that the bargain making them Po-
lice Commissioners was made by Tam
many with the Republican organization
and not With them AS individuals. Nc
Clavc and French and Wheeler repre-
scented their party just as much as Tom
Piatt or Milholand or Bliss does.
The Republican Police Commissioners
have been made by exactly the same In
f,uences as are employed to-day In seek
ing to nominate a straight Republican
city ticket, to elect a Tamnany Mayor
and to make Lexow or some other Re
ulblican Governor

Is IT AN INTERFERENCE'

At the meeting of the Police Commits
siorers yesterday resolution was
adopted by the votes of Commissioners
Martin and Sheehan, against the oppo-
sition OF Commissioner Murray, direct
ing Superintendent Byrnes TO proceed at
once to make charges against policemen
implicated In the malpractices and
crimes alleged before the LeNow Com
mittee, and requesting the Corporation
Counsel to assign an assistant to aid the
Police Board in the preparation of the
charges and the trial OF the cases
After the adoption of the resolution,
Commissioner Murray offered another,
requesting the District-Attorney TO pre-
sent to the Grand Jury any person or
member OF the Police Department i'm
| plicated by the evidence before the
Lexow Committee. and to bring any per
son indicted to a speedy trial. This also
| was adopted.
The reason assigned for this action by

that to leave the police for more thar

Care of n Sick-ROom.

A sick room that needs cleaning can
be made fresh and sweet without sweep
ing and without dust by wiping every
thing in 1t with a cloth wrung out of
warm water In which there are few
drops Of ammonia. The rugs and dra-
peries, though there should not be any
in the room. the doctors tell us, may be
put upon the line for a thorough airing
and wiped in the same way. The feather
duster, which should he banished be-
cause It does no real good anywhere eN-
eept to stir up and redistribute the dust,
is especially out of place in the sick
room, where there may be, and doubt
less often are, germs Of disease in the
innocent looking dust If the patient is
in nervous state a screen may be
placed in front of the bed while the
freshening goes on. II the room can
only be heated by stove the noise OF
putting in coal can be deadened by
wrapping the coal in paper before put
ting on the nre and putting on the pape,

LITTLE NEW WORKERS OF THE FUTURE

School is over. Vacation days began
this morning. The boys and girls OF
the metropolis will have good time
for two months. They cannot all go to
Europe. Some will not fare better than
to get an occasional dose OF Coney ISL
and. Many OF them will have TO do
their Summarizing on the STEALING streets
all day and ON the tenement roofs or
thronged docks of evenings.
All, however, will have rest from
scho 1,room toll, May it do them good!
And may the Summer that makes nature
SO rosy and causes the fields and skies
and roads and byways to throb with
things poetic put color into their cheeks
and speed into their blood circulation
Let us hope that the rivers and the
bays and the trolley lines viii not claim
any of them. but that they will all be
on hand next September with quickened
brains and light hearts, ready to take up
again the work Of making first-class
| men and women of themselves much
| better men and women, we pray, than
| the LeNow Committee has recently made
| us acquainted with.

Sic Told Fniry stories.

Ms. Kate Douglas Wiggins's pretty
story, "Polly Oliver" gave an idea to
a young woman for recent fair. She
offered to take part. and, securing a
little room opening off the main hall
where the sale was held, pinned upon its
door a sign that signihed her intention
This was to tell fairy stories to children
for five cents tale. She never failed to
have a good audience SO long as her
voice held out. and made in this manner
goodly sum to contribute to the gen.
eral fund. There never was that child
born who did not love to listen to a
story, and this well-known fact was
what she took advantage Of, placing her
prices so low that most little ones could
embrace the opportunity. Grown people
were charged double rates. and at that
she had few in her group always.

When David Lindsay writes against those who

induced his ancestors to establish the mqusltion

souls, lie has not found out yet that 1t is not
ignorance. but science. that Is at the bottom Of
all this sceptcism which is to-day playing havoc
with all creeds. Science never accepts anything
