 Ignatius Hall.

THE POLICE HIS TEXT.
Rev. P. Coombe Says the Force Is an Important Factor in Civic
 Repeneration.

Rev. Philip Coombe delivered an inter esting sermon at Richmond Congrega- tional Church last evening. His supJect was "The Power and Responsibility or the Police Department for Civic Regenera- tion."
 This power and responsibility, said he. was manifested in the very development of the Police Department. America has been little in advance of other coun- tries in that regard. It was evident from the duties imposed upon the police, Whlch are very great. Police power IS the gen eral power of the Government to preserve good order, peace, prosperity, and to pro mote the welfare of the community even at the expense of private rights. In the development of civilization the oIganiza, Iams ton of the police department shows marvellous degree of advancement.
 This power is also shown in the fact that the police have great deal to do with that which concerns public health and public morals,'' said he. They should see to it that no lotteries or gambling be carried on, or liquor sold to minors, and ness enterprises. They have greater re- sponsibility at the present time than they ever had before.
 'I do not think that the Police Depart ment of this city Is negligent or inatten- tive l believe the policeman is ever on the alert to prevent whatever is done against the city, the individual or soci- ety. l do not like to think that these men for paltry sum would shirk the duty laid out for them. There has been great deal said about their inefficiency, and I suppose that there is some truth in the charge. But there Is good in them. Did they not march to the Christian Endeavor convention and sing the songs of Zion? There are splendid men among them, and l would like to see the number increased. They are brought in contact with many demoralizing influences. They are con- stantly associated with crime, and do not have much opportunity to go to church. The office of nOliCe Is noble DOSffiOn and should be looked upon as such.
 There is a great deal of hope for us in the Police Department in the great move the policeman will always stand on the side of God. of public morals and good government"

land on territory belonging to Uncle Sam. Pending investigation by the officials the Celestials were given quarters at the dock and if they cannot prove their right to enter the United States they will be ship lieved that most of them are entitled to admittance.
 The reason of the late arrival of the Picking is due to the fact that she left Hongkong one day late. A day was lost at Shanghai, one at Nagasaki, and another at Kobe. The voyage from Hongkong was made in 3212 days, from Yokohama in IS days, and from Honolulu in days. Cap tain Smith reports that head winds were encountered the greater part of the trip. The run from Honolulu was made in fair ly good time but a severe SoutheaSter was encountered two days ago.
 The passenger list includes 43 cabin and 14S steerage, 34 of which are Europeans, composed of 2400 tons of freight. Among the passengers are: Captain Wilds of the Boston; Major Fields, U. s. A., of the ord- nance department, who Is accompanied by his wife; John Ellerthorpe. telegraph operator from Manila, who was in the city during the siege; A. c. Cox. the chief engineer of the Imperial Chinese Railway, and Sol Sheridan, special correspondent of The Call. The soldiers of the New York Regiment who were expected to arrive on the Picking, will come in the next steamer from Honolulu. The only sol- diers aboard are ten men who have been discharged on account of the expiration of their terms of enlistment. Eight of these are from Manila and two from Hon. olulu All are in good health and there was no sickness aboard the Picking dur ing the voyage.

Imposes on Druggists.

The police are searching for an opium fiend who has been systematically vic- timizing druggists in the Mission. His scheme is to visit a drugstore and present the druggist with a prescription calling for solution of cocaine. The prescrip- tion purports to have been signed by well-knoWn physician. The man, after receiving the drug, tells his victim that the doctor whose name is attached to the prescription Is about to perform an op- eration on a patient and that he will settle for the drug as soon as he gets through It is said that by these means the swindler has succeeded in imposing on a number of unsuspecting druggists.

CATS MAKE HIS LIVING.
A California RecIuse Who Keeps Them
For Rent to Business Men.


For Rent to Business Men.
There is an odd little man named Ech-
nier, who lives in an odd little house in
the heart of the busiest portion of San
Francisco, who earns his bread oddly
enough. His business is the raising of
cats, which he puts into warehouses,
stores and other places infested with rats
and mice, and his income is derived from
payment for the services of his pets
Raising cats is my business, y he said.
"We get along all right, don't we, kittyS"
Kitty settled down on his knee and purred
her answer
81 see enough of them to like them, y he
went on, ''for feed between 150 and 200
every morning This, pointing to large
basket Il take full of meat, and that can
in the corner is filled with milk l go
first to the warehouses on the docks, and
then come farther up town to the business
houses
81 do not often sell cat. l raise them,
train them for awhile and then place them
in some warehouse or store where the serv-
Ices of a cat are necessary. Then for SO
much amonth take care of them. Would
you like to see where tLey play? If you
come this way | will show you. +"
He opened door and took me into
queer little court. Three sides of the in
closure are banked by buildings as old as
the house where the cats live The fourth
side is a big brick structure, modern style
An attempt at garden had been made,
but even the lonely green geranium looks
sorry and forlorn
And the catsl If there were many in
the house, there are many more out here
Asleep in box of excelsior is beauty
He is marked exactly like tiger AS you
pass through narrow, yellow eyes glance
at you Ii you bend to stroke him, there
is a sudden whirl, and the next you see
of the tiger he is on the roof of a shed,
gazing at you in rather an unpleasant
manner
Doesn't like to be disturbed, says
Mr. Echnier. Down a pair of rickety stairs
into the poor little garden, and you hear
a great scampering of little feet, and now
the rooms are full of disturbed kittens
They have just been fed and like to sleep
a bit
After awhile we go back into the house,
and Mr. Echnier tells me how he lost his
wife a few years ago, and since then he has
lived all alone in the second floor of the
shanty. My only son is employed in the
Smithsonian institution, in Washington,
he says. Its bit lonely here, but my
cats are company, you know. San Fran,
