THE CITY SERGEANT.

Considerable Speculation IA to What Are
the Duties Of His ONCE.
Since the grand explanation meeting Of
the Board of Aldermen In regard to the
special meeting of the Board called by the
Mayor, considerable speculation has been
going the rounds Of the city concerning
the duties of the City Sergeant. 1t is COM
merly supposed that the City Sergeant is
the city messenger and his duties are or
should be at the disposal Of the City Clerk,
to carry or deliver all messages between
the clerk and the other members of the
city government.
The question under discussion by many
of the citizens is in regards to the City
Clerk not availing himself of this means
to notify the members Of the Board that
special meeting had been called. The
above citizens believe that the City Clerk
used very poor judgment at that late hour
in depending upon the mails. Instances
are on record In Pawtucket when the
Mayor decided as late as II o'clock In the
morning to call a special meeting for the
same afternoon. 1t was accomplished sue
cessfully by means of the City Sergeant.
1t would be well, these citizens think, II q
special meeting Is called in the future at
short notice for the City Clerk to remem-
Der that there is City Messenger for this
particular purpose.

AN UNEXPECTED STIR.
Attitude OF Councilman Fales Towards
Police Force - a Surprise

Attitude OF Councilman Fales Towards
Police Force is q Surprise
The attitude of Councilman Fales taken
at the last meeting of the Common Council
is great surprise to the citizens at large.
1t can be safely said that in no city in New
England, considering the size, is there a
more efficient police force. During the
past year fully 95 per cent. OF the petty
burglaries about the city have been do
tected and the culprits punished.
Only q short time ago . burglar at
tempted to enter Martins hardware store,
and he was caught In the attempt by OFF,
Ger Lambert, who took his life Ia his
hands when he made the attempt to cap
ture the burglar. The next morning Judge
Goff was compelled to release the man be-
cause there was no statute under which
the man could be arraigned. Was that
the fault Of the police? 1t seems, however,
instead of unjustly slurring the police
force 1t would be well for the City Council
to enact needed ordinances for the welfare
of the city, or cause the statutes to be 80
changed that offenders could be punished.
The responsibility lies with the Council,
and not with the police, who, under ad-
verse circumstances, are trying to do their
duty.

TALL M len.
t-any People Are prejudiced Against Them
Because OF Their Stature.


Two French physicians who have been
making Investigations have come forward
with u general denunciation of tall men
as no good. They instance the giants of
the world, who have been proverbially dull
and men of gloomy disposition, and then
they go on To say that the chances are
against phcnomenally tall men, or even
very tall men, being bright.
There should, however, be careful dis
tinction drawn between tall men and
giants. Giantism has been demonstrated
To be a disease. The victims suffer from q
malady which produces an enlargement Of
the joints, and this, more than any other
growth Of the bones, produces their OK
traordinary height. But men within GER
tain limits grow tall without suffering de-
creased or absorbed mentality 1t will not
do To denounce the tall man when the
world has seen so many examples Of his
being able to hold his own.
Thre real reason why the tall men do
not come to the front oftener Is that they
are modest as they arc extended. Little
men usually hustle about To such an extent
that people believe they make up i'm width
of views what they lack in stature In
their absorbing ambition not to be over
looked they simply overdo the thing and
make those whose command Of tho horizon
Is larger believe that they must get out
of the way or the little fellows will run
over them. The tall man IL almost always
looking down on some one. But If any
one believes that it Is comfortable situa.
tion he should get himself into it for once
and discover how unpleasant it Ia to carry
on conversation with the assistance of o
telephone neck. 1t Is this excruciatine
experience that makes the tall man, as q
rule, reticent. His reticence Ia mistaken
for pride, pride Is believed to bo the evi
dence Of doubt Of his own powers, doubt
proves deficiency, and deficiency in the tall
man can arise from only one thing-do
velopment Of the body at the expense Of tn.
brain and nervous system. Hence the
short man easily arrives at the conclusion
that the tall man IL misflt, and that b,
Is the only perfect being going. Perfection
being accorded him, no might easily con
quer the world. But he always spoils hi,
chances by marrying tall woman, whs
holds him back. This is the only reason
why the men under feet inches hav,
not already cxterminated those over fee
o inches. News.

DOVER TO CALAIS.
Peter McNally Preparing to Swim Across
the English Channel.

Peter McNally Preparing to Swim Across
the English Channel.
Peter s. McNally the noted Boston
swimmer and life saver. is preparing to
swim across the English channel from
Dover to Calais, distance Of 90 statute
miles. This swim has been accomplished
by only two persons, the late Captain
Webb, who lost his life In foolhardy at
tempt to swim the Niagara rapids, and
Captain Paul Boyton, who CROSSED in an
inflated rubber suit Hundreds Of expert
swimmers have unsuccessfully tried to
make passage across the channel waters.
But this fact does not seem to be at all
discouraging to McNally. He Is confident
that he can accomplish the trip, and those
Of his friends who are acquainted with his
abilities as O swimmer are equally conf
dent that he will be successful.
McNally was born In Boston 80 years
ago. He has been an expert swimmer
since early childhood, and when only 2
years of age made a rescue from drown
Ing. He continued his good work until
today ho has record of more than go res
cues, for which he has received the highest
honors from the Massachusetts, Humane
society, including the society's gold medal,
and last year he was signally honored by
the national government, congress award
ing him q medal for exceptional acts of
bravery.
In the channel trip McNally realizes
that he has the hardest task of his life on
his hands He knows that he has much
to suffer; that he must overcome the most
painful cramps Of every variety; that he
will have to withstand heavy, aggravating
seas, severe attacks Of nausea, splitting
headaches; will be obliged to suffer cold,
fatigue, monotony of the most depressing
kind, and also great pain to those most
sensitive organs the eyes. It Is possible
that he will become temporarily blind and
will have to swim In darkness-even In
the daylight he may remain blind for a
long number of hours-for the effect of the
salt seas striking the eyes continually k
painful and almost uncomfortable. He has
experienced all these things before and
knows how TO combat them.

THEY FEARED A MONARCHY.
Ccremonials Awakened Suspicion ANON
the EARLY Republican Leaders.

Ceremonials Awakened Suspicion Among
the EARLY Republican Leaders.
The pageantry Of modern presidential
inaugurations serves to recall the old day,
when the fear Of monarchy Was heavy
upon the republican leaders In the new
government. Washington, the first presl
dent, in his own person and In his Office
was not averse to the stately ceremonial
and custom that to too excitable mind
suggested the era Of monarchy and op
preston.
Thus writes william McClay, senate.
from Pennsylvania, In his diary unde,
date Of Juno 8, 1880: "Levees may be ex
trcmely useful In old countries, whore mer
of great fortunes are collected, az they may
keep the Idle from being worse employed
but here think they are hurtul.
Indeed from these small beginnings feaI
we shall follow, nor cease till we shal
reach the summit Of court etiquette ano
all the frivolities, fopperies and expense,
practiced in European governments. J
grieve to think how many individuals ar
aiming at these objects with unceasine
diligence"
The senator did not like Washington,
way Of delivering his messages to oongres,
In person instead of having them read
They reminded him of speeches from tn,
throne" For n kindred reason he had nc
use for the vice president, John Adams
Witness an entry in his diary made The
same year, just after tho news Of the fal
of the Bastille had reached America:
royalty and nobility and the vile pag
eantry by which "a few Of the human rae,
lord 1t over and tread on the necks of theii
fellow mortals seem likely to be demol

said to be laid in ashes. Yc gods, witt
