TWO POLICEMEN LET OUT
MohI and Gordon Went in Sa-

STORIES ABOUT TIE FORMER
Inspector Cross Caught the TeutOnic
Law-Preserver Coming Out Of q
BeerSnIoon-His Unique eReply-Pri-
vnte w II. West Fined-Other Cases
Dismissed by the Commissioners.

The Commissioners have ordered the re-
moval of Privates c. II. Gordon and j. II.
Mohl from the police force, the dismissal
to take effect on the Goth instant.
Both Officers were convicted of yiolat-
ing paragraph SO OF the police manual
| which forbids n policeman while in uni-
form from entering any place where liquors
are sold upon any pretext.
Mohl is q most unique character and the
stories that have been told about his Teu.
tonic ways are legion in number.
The one best known about him is that
In which he is alleged to have called out
the fire department and when asked to
locate the fire said he had done 1t because
he schmelled schmoke."
Inspector Cross has long suspected that
Mohi was violating the manual, and al
though he made several efforts, failed
until recently to catch the policeman in the
act. Mohrs beat is in the Fourth precinct,
covering a large number Of saloons, and con-
tanning many disorderly characters. ;.
HE CAUGHT MOHL.
Several weeks ago Inspector Cross went
upon the beat to observe Mobrs actions
and came upon the policeman while pa
trolling the street.
He stopped and had brief conversation
with the patrolman. and then passed on.
Believing it good opportunity for getting
on to Mohl's actions, the inspector doubled
OIL his tracks and came upon Mohl just as
the latter was emerging from saloon,
wiping u frothy substance from his lips.
Inspector Cross said sharply: =
what have you been doing in that sa-
Ioon?'' -
Mofl replied: "PecZness."
The inspector said: "Mohl, you must tell
me what you were doing in that saloon.f
All Mohl would reply was, "Peczness,
pcezness."
''If you don't tell me at once the truth
of the case,' said the inspector, becom-
Ing irate, II shall go into the saloon and
find out for myself"
This had the desired effect, and as the,
Inspector started toward the door Mohl
followed him, saying: Don't do it. Mr..
Inspector will tell you the truth. ! took
a drink but it is my first offense. Please
forgive me-"
PREFERRED THE CHARGES.
Inspector Cross stopped and Informed
Mobl that charges would be at once pre-
ferred against him at police headquar-
tiers. With this the inspector proceeded
on his rounds ard Mohi went sadly out into
the darkness in search of deaf and dumb
men whom he could accuse of disorderly
conduct and profanity on the street.
Other police cases were disposed of as
follows:
Private W. II. West, tried January %,
1 1ss6, for conduct unbecoming an officer,
was fined $25.
The charges against Private Hugh Espey.
tried January %, 1896, on charge of in
toxication. and against sergt. j. A. Moore
and Private E. c. Goss, tried January 2,
1896, for conduct unbecoming an officer,
were dismissed.

He Saws 1t Was to Exert Brothers
Influence.
Toronto, Ont, Feb. 24.-The following
statement has been sent TO the press for
publication:
"Con,nander Herbert Booth desires to
state to the press of the United States and
Canada that reports current In the news
papers to the effect that he sunnarily de-
n,anded the handing over Of his brother 8
comniissionership In New York, are incor-
rect. His presence and that OF Sister Field
Commissioner Ern Beoth is accounted for
by the fact that Commander Booth had
some weeks back notified international
bea duuarters of the army CT his intention to
.csign, and had refused to tak- another
command.
"Commant.ant Booth was on this account
instructed by headquarters to proceed to
New York and exert a brother influence to
avert so serious N calamity and so irre-
parable q loss. This he did in conjunction
with his sister Exa and Col. Nicoi. They
shared in their Efforts affectionately to en-
treat the commander and his wife to accept
of several proposals suggested by the
HEADQUARTERS to postpone, IL not prevent,
the catastrophe. No demand of the charac-
ter stated was made, but the necessity Of
the temporary withdrawal of the resignation
wasurged, as was also a visitto England for
the purpose of personal conference with
the general.
"Commandant Booth wishes to further
state that it is untrue that he had any inclina-
ton or desire to succeed his brother in New
York. Beyond his duties of counsellor and
brother, above referred to. the comnandant
did nothing in New York. He interfered
in NO way with that command, aud refused
absolutely to accept any responsibility fol
his brothers action. He returned to hif
post Immediately after he found that his
efforts failed, and Is at the present moment
absolutely ignorant OF the nature of his
next appointment

In the matter Of sleep, says a physi-
elan, there are as many peculiar
things as there are about eating
what Is one mans food is anothers
poison. This much is generally known
and accepted by standard authorities
on the subject, that tall or bulky peo-
DE require more sleep than others
and that women can get along on much
less sleep than can men. AS with ami
mails, human beings sleep much long
er and heartier In the winter than at
any other times. People Of extreme
old age require as much sleep as in
fants. a1d it is beneficial to both class
es if they can sleep one-half the time,
or even q greater proportion. There
Is one thing I would like to impress
upon everyone, and that is, it is posi-
lively injurious for any one to sleep
longer than is actually necessary.
