SOME POLICE COURT CASES.
The Darker Side of Life Before the
Judges.

Slas Thomas and Ell gene Brown, young
colored men, were two of the eighteen pris-
oners who occupied the Police Court cells
this morning. Congregating the side
walk and indulging in profane language
Was the charge against them. Policeman
O'Donoghue complained against them. The
affair happened or 25th street Sunday
night, and during fight a stone was
thrown through Mr.. Scanlons window.
There was some trouble on the street."
said one of the prisoners, "ar d l had some
words with a friend. The other fellow s
mother shouted, Police but l didn't throw
any stones"
Neither did l." said the other defendant.
II Was only looking on when the others
were fighting"
But the court believed the policeman, and
fined the prisoners s. each.
William Brown was the name given by a
young man arrested in Twining City. He
belongs in Norfolk, 50 he says but he was
unable to give any excuse for being here.
For several days he has been hanging
about Twining City and about the railroad
yards" said Policeman Mari. He has
be. IN begging, and says he has no home
He was given ten days.
John Robinson, young negro, who at
tended a dance on Il 1-2 street last night,
thought he could violate the law as well
as the keepers of some of the dives in
that section, and not get arrested, but Po-
him. John was loud and profane, accord
ing to the evidence of the policeman, and
his counsel attempted to convince the court
that the noise committed in such a place
was rot an offense, but Judge Kimball was
not easily convinced that way.
While the judge did not say so In so
many words, he probably thought that even
the promoters Of dances in this section
were entitled to some protection, and fined
John so or thirty days
Bat Morarity came here few weeks
ago a perfect stranger, but his treatment
on the farm was such that he has now be-
come resident. Released from the work
house Monday, he soon found companion
I'm the Ierson of William Mansfield, and the
two homeless men were found enjoying a
campfire on the line Of the railroad between
An&costia and BenEiDg last evening.
Are you there, Moriarity?" was what
Sergt Kirby felt like singing to him, and
had he done SO Bat would undoubtedly
have answered, Il am"
But the sergeant thought there was no
time for music, although the men made no
effort to escape. They seemed glad that
the officer had visited their camp and taken
them cut of the wet weather
Judge kimball gave them ten days.

DISTRICT BRIDGES.
What the Board of Trade Committee
Says on the Subject.

At meeting of the committee on bridges
Of the board of trade. held yesterday after
noon, a report was discussed which will
be presented at the meeting Of the hoard

some length the question of the erection
of new bridges between the Long and

the committee that no bridge should be
built within that distance, except the pro-
posed memorial bridge, unless it be of such
design as not to interfere in any way with
the free navigation of the river.
The committee will report that in their
opinion site somewhere above Georgeto wn

to be constructed in the future. The use
of part of the Aque1uct bridge for street

ACCEPTED WITH REGRET.
The Resignation of the Commissioners
of Pharmacy.

The Commissioners today accepted the
resignation of DIR. ID. W. Prentiss as COM
missioner of pharmacy for the District of
Columbia In a letter to DR.. Prentiss the
Commissioners say:
Your services are so highly esteemed
and recognized by your profession and the
community generally as to render super
fiuous any reference to them by the Com
missioners further than to express their
participation in the public estimate of their
value and their regret In accepting your
resignation"
In his letter to the Commissioners trans
hitting his resignation Dr Prentiss says:
1T is hardly necessary to state that
nave taken great interest in the work of
this board since my connection with II in
1879, and in resiguing l desire to call the
attention of your honorable board 10 the
good work done in connection with the
profession Of pharmacy IN the District.
Prior to the passage of the pharmacy law
in 1873. pharmacy, as profession, had
no standing in the District of Columbia
Any one could open drug store and COM
pound prescriptions. and 1t was common
practice to find boys or young men of only
one or two months experience thus dis
pensing medicines. The law, however, has
raised pharmacy from trade to a pro-
fesson. Now, one to carry on a drug store
must be registered with the board. and to
be registered must be a graduate in phar-
macy. or to pass an examination before the
board Of pharmacy and to have five years
practical experience
This applies also to clerks in drug stores
who compound prescriptions. The principal
work of the board has been in examining
and registering applicants, and 1t has at
times been quite onerous.
Il can bear witness that the examinations
are thorough ones. 1t covers, principally
the subjects OF chemistry. materia medica
and pharmacy. 1t is under this heading that
the most exacting work OF the board
comes"

to he presented to the regiments with odd
numbers. The flags for the guards were of
SIX brocade, and those for the other regi-
ments were of rich silk. The Prussan bear

the flags in black silk. These designs were
EMBODIED in a laurel wreath, and in each
corner OF the hags were embroidered the
