HE DECEIVED THE PEOPLE.
And is in the Penitentiary for a Year.

From the Lowell Morning CitizenI.
At Atlantic, Iowa, on May It'll, g. M.
Ailor, alias Grip" Ailor, was convicted
of deceiving the people by selling a
worthless compound, which he repre-
scented to be Hoods SarsaparilIa, and
was sentenced by Judge Macy to one
year at han d labor in the Iowa State Pen
itentiary. Ailor's methods were those
of a travelling fallir. He has been trav-
cling through Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa, making stands of day or more IN
each town, and representing himself as
an agent under salary from G. |. Hood ~
Company, and selling his connection at
one dollar or fifty cents pei bottle, giving
with each sale various other worthless
articles. Citizens of Griswold, Iowa, be-
came suspicious, and ascertaining from
a druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hoods Sarsaparilla, but merely col
Ored water, had him arrested. Three in
dictments were found against him, the
jury convicted HIM after only thirty min
utes delberation, and he was sentenced
as above. This incident suggests the
wisdom of purchasing medicines only OF
reputable dealers whom you know.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is never sold by ped
lers, and such offering it should b. at
once reported to the authorities, or to g.
l. Hood e Company, Lowell, Mass.

failed to get the nomination His run
for the United States senate, which
ended in his nomination by the demo

when he was graduated from the
United States military academy at
West Point, n. Y, and commissioned
second lieutenant in the Third United
States cavalry. His early life as an
officer was passed ON the Indian from
tier of New Mexico. In 1858 he was
promoted to a first heutenancy and as
signed to duty at the United States
military academy, where the outbreak
of the civil war found him.
A member of a distinguished Ohio
family, which subsequently became
historically famed as "The Fighting
McCoolis," owing to the number who
went to the front, he was given the
colonelcy of the first regiment raised
by Ohio under Lincoln's call for Il, 900
mon in 1861. lie was at the battle of
Bull Run, was commissioned
6rigadier general of volunteers in Sep
tember, 1861, and became a major gem
eral of volunteers in July, 1862, and
commanded the Twentieth army corps
and participated as it's commander in
the memorable battles of Perryville,
Stone River and Chicllamauga. At the
close of the civil war he was com
missioned lieutenant colonel of the
Twenty-SiXth United States infantry,
and was promoted to the colonelcy Of

McCook as well had five cousins, all of
whom participated with distinguished

idiotic leer of clothing store dummy,
ogling the women as they pass on the
sidewalk.
This kind of clubman is compare
lively harmless, but the other kind,
the clubmen of the police force, are
entirely different from the rich, but
effeminate, dudes who wear baggy
clothes and are afflicted with sup
posed-to-be cocllney dialect that is sug-
gestive of chronic nasal catarrh. New
York club dudes are the dudiest, to
coin word, and most unspealxably
idiotic, In the world. In this respect
the New York article defes competi-
ton. The club window dummies of
Philadelphia and Chicago are but sick
ly limitations in comparison.
Physically, the New York policeman
is to be admired He is usually above
six feet tall, and originally splendidIy
proportioned. AS he grows older he
becomes portly and majestic, the
natural result of living on the fat of the
land, and taking just enough exercise
to promote digestion. One would sup
pose that such favored son of fortune
would be in a perpetual good humor
with himself and the rest of mankind;
but such is not the experience of those
who have been brought in contact with
our officers of the law. The New York
policeman, like the New York janitor,
is Enthusiastically SUI generis. The at
mosphere of Manhattan Island Is in
despensable to his perfect development.
1t would require a large volume to
enumerate all the Objectionable peculi-
arities of our guardians They are as
full of discrepancies as a, shad is of
bones. OF course, not all the New York
policemen are Objectionable. There
are some, no doubt, who are gentle
men, for there are exceptions to every
rule. AS Cervantes puts it: at is not
improbable that there are some very
nice people even in Hades." In fact, the
entire police force of New York will
have to be reorganized in the interests
of law and order. 1t is mistake, how
ever, to suppose that any particular par
ty is to blame for the Generalization of
the force, for some of the most objec-
tionable police captains are republic
ans, and some of them are practically
socialistic, when it comes to dividing
what belongs to other people.
Heretofore the New York policeman
has enjoyed what is commonly called
"a cinch." AS soon as he gets his blue
uniform on he begins to make it lively
for the general public. Hegoes around
raising large crops Of cushion-shaped
wens on the heads of those whose style
does not suit him. He raises these

wens with impunity and a locust club.
If the victim is not so badly used up
that he has to be sent to the hospital
for repairs, the cop feeds him to a
dusky cell, even as the hunger of the
editorial waste basket is quenched by
the bountiful crop of autumnal poems.
The question naturally arises: Are
there no evil consequences when the
victim becomes convalescent, and APP
peals to the courts? There are such
consequences, and very disagreeable
ones they are, too-to the victim. Dam
gerous as is the rampant policeman
with u club on the street, he is in
finitely more dangerous on the witness
stand, With some slight assistance
from the judge, with whom he has
pull, he makes it appear perfectly
plain that the bruised and battered vic
tim wSs really the aggressor. 1t is gen.
orally understood that when a man be-
comes a member of the New York po-
lice force his conscience is removed
from his bosom, and n long coil of
flexible rubber tubing is substituted.
Before he becomes an officer of the law
he may be so sensitive that he cannot
see railroad cut, or newspaper cut,
without feeling hurt himself, but he

Especial New York letter.

New York is famous for it's club
men, who may be divided into two
classes. They, however, do not re-
semble each other in the least. Club
men of the first class can be seen to
advantage in the windows of the
fashionable clubrooms on Fifth avenue.
They sit there by the hour, with the

house stealI-aftcr it is cooked
Verify, the New York policeman is a
highly favored individual. If the ordi-
nary citizen becomes at all boisterous
from overdoses of DR., John Barley
GERMS liquid lubricant for the parchcd
epiglottis he is promptly hypnotized
with club; but the intoxicated police
man can walk on both sides of the
street with his hat on his car, and
there is no one to molest or make him
afraid. On the contrary, he molests
other people and makes them afraid.
They are not even safe under their own
vine and fig tree, metaphorically speak
ing.
If private citizen carcsses, on the
street, ladies to whom he has never
been introduced, the insulted female,
who has been fondled, may walk off
with the offenders eye dangling from
the end of her parasol, or some male
relative may shoot large apertures in
the anatomical structure of the Of
fender, or "mutilate" him indiscrimi-
nately with a bludgcon with warts on
it. On the other hand, policeman, in
escorting ladies across the street at a
crowded crossing may hug them with
impunity and a pressure that would
cause the blush of envy to mantle the
check of hay press.
The policemen on duty in the various
parks differ from the rest of the force
in appearance. The park policemen,
or sparrow cops" wear gray uni
forms, suggestive Of the late confed-
eracy, while the others wear blue.
That's the only difference between
them. Being continually on duty
where they can hear the singing of the
birds and view the beauties of nature,
subjected to the refining influence of
woman-the parks are full of nurse
girls-one might suppose that the park
policeman would be of sympathetic
nature, but such is not the case. He is,
if possible, more ferocious than the
blue-coated policemen, who are liable
to be contaminated by the saloons and
those who frequent them.
At the same time, the New York po-
lice have great heads for business.
They are not slow in adopting the good
suggestion of Iago: Put money in thy
purse, good Roderigo." Every imagin-
able form of vice has to pay tribute,
and many legitimate lines of business
have to pay for protection to avoid
being prosecuted and harasscd They
are out for the Doodle. In the game Of
life the New York policeman is in no
danger of going out on three balls. On
the contrary, he makes even the pawn

very fine example of the money-mak-

of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who, though
born with gold spoon IN his mouth,

increase of his fortune. Most of our

The Father of Rattlers Killed.

The largest rattlesnake ever killed
possibly in the entire state of Georgia
was killed the other afternoon in the
East Macon district. 1t had twenty
two rattlers and a button, making it %
years old. 1t measured fraction over
five feet in length. Nobody can be
found to have heard of arattler 90 years
old. A snake that carries fourteen or
sixteen rattles and button is consid-
cred a monster in these parts, and is
looked upon with most respectful bear
ing. The men had quite an exciting
time killing the snake. None of them
dared go within several lengths of him,
and when he shook his mighty bunch
OF rattles the noise was awful, and
struck terror to the hearts of the ne
groes, causing them each time to re-
treat farther. They finally dispatched
him with long pole.

THE GRAsPING POLICEMAN.
ol1ers she'll out or quit buying stolen

brokers shell out or quit buying stolen
goods.
1t has been established by the most
convincing proof that police captains
act as agents for certain brands of
whisky and cigars, receiving a com
mission from the manufacturers. The
saloonleeper who refuses to buy his
liquor from a certain firm is liable to
have his place raided, whenever he
keeps open after midnight, as all of
them do. The name of the brand of
cigars that finds favor with the police
is La Reforma de Nueva York" This
is probably a joke, but the frozen fact
remains that New York liquor and
cigar manufacturers have found it
necessary to organize and take con-
certed action to prevent themselves
from being ruined in business by the
uniformed agents of rival firms
And there is reason to believe that
only the surface of New York police
corruption has been scratched by the
investigating committee. 1t is not
unlikely that the police departments of
some other large cities are tarred with
the same brush as is that of Gotham,
but New York's claim for the cham
pionship cannot be successfully dis
puted. ALEX Il. SWEET.
