For Next Monday.

Bud Watkins was brought
into court this morning in order
that his case might be set down
for trial. Mr.. Furman, of the
counsel for the defense, arose
and said that if the court would
set the case for some day next
week, he thought that the de-
fendant would be ready; that he
did not know of any reason
why the case could not be tried
then, and that the defense
would use every effort to be
ready. The case was according
ly set down for next Monday,
to which the defense agreed.

BRUSswucK's PROSPERITY.
Many Indications That 1t Is Steadily
Growing.

Growing.
Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 20.-There has
been a noticeable increase in the retail
trade of Brunswick for two weeks past.
II is commented upon now as a favorable
sign for the winter. and the merchants
are correspondingly encouraged. The
misfortunes that beset the Brunswick
storekeepers, and there have been many
and unusual ones in the past, do not dis
courage them. When a knock down blow
comes from one-Cuarter they take it as
a matter of course and prepare to guard
against one from the other side. Bruns-
wick has been beset by spectators,
cursed by scourge, and made the victim
Of bank wreckers, yet her people are
ready with a cheerful smile and OUT
stretched hand to meet strangers and
point out to them the many advantages
this port possesses. The increase in bust
ness, both from foreign and domestic
ports has been so perceptible of recent
days that everybody has taken a fresh
hold on hopes, and is pulling for better
times
The big start of the Brunswick Ter
minal Company In shipping phosphate
and cotton has turned loose thousands
Of dollars in wages. Three steamships
iOdullB at one tlule TINS week lot lIlS
concern, lent cheerful tinge to the bus
mess mans view. The fact that the rail-
roads are sending in quantities of cotton
and phosphate freight for both foreign
and domestic export is also considered
in its proper light, and a general increase
over past improvements in wharf prop
erty. by both the Southern and Plant sys-
tenn railroads is noted favorably The
sale of the Brunswick company S
property by Receiver Talley, will occur
next month, and that will start money to
moving lively also. There are eleven hun
dred Q,1O0) lots to go on the block, and
some of them are bound to be improved,
no matter who gets them. 1t is thought
by many that the company will buy in the
most of them, reorganize and do busl-
ness on a much more satisfactory basis
than it did before If this is done Bruins
wick will reap much benefit from the
transaction.
The educational facilities of the county
and city will be greatly improved by a
movement now under way to increase the
taxes for the benefit of the schools. There
will be no objection raised, as all citi-
zens recognize the value of good schools
TO the county and city.

Needs Of the Police.

The repeated assertion of The Times
that the local police force is wofully
inadequate To the necessities of the terri
tory it has to serve was based upon the
most accurate information oblaina bic from
official records and also upon the daily
reports of violations of law committed In
the District. The analysis of the situation
as shown by n specific review of each police
precinct will demonstrate the absolute
correctness of The Times statement.
II Will probably be a surprise To every
business mau in the First precinct, which
lies between Seventh anu Fifteenth streets,
and X stree. and the Mall, that this whole
area has to be covered by about ten police
men. They will also be amazed to learn
that the business section of the precinct
is patrolled by four men at :aight and two
in the daytime. The force in this precin
is, according 10 Lieut.. Amiss' opinion,
just one-fourth what 1t ought to be. There
ought To be forty men instead of only ten.
In a greater or less degree the same con-

Tnm Reeds ChuCkle.

One very interesting incident associated
with the ceremony of inducing Mr.. Reed
into the Speakership was not reported from
Washington, but with the return of the Con-
rrcssmen to New York for the brief recess
il has been told here.
When ex Speaker Crisp was escorting Mr.
Reed to the Speakers chair the ex-Speaker
and the Speaker-elect entered the House by
a doorway that was not the one which some
OF the members thought would be chosen
for that entrance. In the passageway Lead
ing to this doorway Amos ]. Cummings
stood, not being aware that MIR. Reed and
Mr.. Crisp would come by that way. Sud-
denly a heavy hand was laid upon Mr.. Cum
mings's shoulder, and he heard a familiar
voice, speaking in mock seriousness, say to
him. "Amos stand out of the way" Mr..
Cummings compacted himself into as small
a commas as possible So that Mr.. Reed
might mass, for it was he who had spoken,
As the Speaker was squeezing by. Cummings
said to him: TON, are you going to the
place Of execution OF to the thrOne?" A
swift smile passed over Mr.. r eed's cOunten-
anca a quick look of merriment which was
noticed by many who were near him who
did not understand the cause of it, and the
only answer he gave to Mr.. Cummings was
a chuckle That he remembered the ques-
ton OF Cummings was madeevident thenext
day when he emet the Congressman and made
a witty comment upon it, although he did
not answer Cummings.s question.-Phila-
