Thought 1Hey were TO rave New Uni
forms Soon, But
For more than fortnight the police
of this city have been looking forward
with pleasant anticipation to the time
when they would be presented with
new uniforms. The town council went
SO far, they claim. as to promise to re-
member them not only with new
clothes. including helmets. but new
pistols in the bargain. The order for
the regimentals was given to Clothier
Max Marcus.
But yesterday they learned from MI.
hlrcns that they are not likely to get
the new clothes. At any rate he has
not sent in the order for them. When
asked why he had not done so the Jolly
clothier replied that he had been in
formed that there is not money enough
in the town treasurer's hands to pay
the bill. He would not say who had SO
advised him. but the police declare
that they will find out. They insist
that in view of this fact that they re-
ceive but $45 a month for their work
the town authorities should set up new
toggery at least once year. other
wise. they argue. their pay should be
equal to that of the Newport News Of
ficers, who receive $50.

Many amusing anecdotes are told
about him. His stern demeanor caused
him to be feared by the boys of the
town. On one occasion several lads
were amusing themselves in front OF
his store by sticking the blades OF their
pen-knives into the soft pine wood OF
the window sill. Mr. Massenburg ap-
peared unexpectedly on the scene and,
after praising the knives. asked the
boys to pass them to him that he might
examine them. They did so. whereupon
he pressed the blades deep into the
wood and one by one snapped them in
two.
NOW" said he, "you can't cut my
window with these knives. Then. after
gazing silently at the urchins until the
big tear drops began to roll dow n their
chubby cheeks. he added:
III you boys will promise me never
to cut my window again, I'll give each
of you a new knife"
The promise was quickly made and
they went off wondering what kind of
man 'old Berg" as he was called, was
any way.
Mr.. Daniel Malone. the King street
druggist, was for long time associat-
ed with Mr.. Massenberg. 1t was the
intention of the venerable Hampton
ian to pay visit to his old home this
summer. He longed. he said. to see
again the friends and companions OF
his early life, and expressed the wish
that when he died he might be laid
at rest in this city.
