Cry COUNCIL has apparently awak-
ened to a sense Of what is just and
proper. The awakening was thorough
and complete, and the body deserves
great credit for its action. The preva'
lence Of diphtheria necessitated some
radical measures in order to check Its
pread.
The members of Council, realizing the
seriousness of the situation, cut the knot
by authorizing the Board of Health te
take such action as might be necessary
in the matter at the expense OF the City
Council.
This disposes of the endless red tape
which usually encircles and hampers the
movements of the Board of Health.
The public spirit and prompt actor
tcannot be too warmly commended.
Some protection was necessary and i
was provided, and at once.

FISHER HELD FOR COURT.
He Was Unable to Furnish Bail and
Goes to Jail-.Qther Gases.

Before Judge Ball, in Municipal Court,
yesterday morning, John Fisher, colored,
was held in the sum of $500 for the
upper court, for burglarizing the house
Of Mrs. Thomas II. Bradford, at Thir-
teenth and Market streets.
When the case was called, the desk
of City Solicitor Henry G. Conrad was
covered with miscellaneous assortment
of silverware, embroidered table cloths,
napkins and other articles, all of which
had been stolen and subsequently, re.
covered at the home of the colOred thief.
These were identified bv Mrs. A. Rodgers,
mother Of Mrs. Bradford.
Mrs. Rodgers could not fix an accurate
valuation Of the goods stolen, but said
they we're worth fully $50. She said the
greatest cost would be in repairing the
house, where water spigots and gas fix.
lures had been wrenched and broken
and other damage done. The men, she
said, had entered through rear cellar
door, and, proceeding upstairs, had kicked
the panel out OF a door, which was locked
and crawled through the OPENING into
the first floor. She alone had the keyt
to the house.
Officers Gum and Edwards told Of re-
covering some of the property at the
residence of Mrs. Barr, where Fisher hac
been living, and Mrs. Barr said Fisher
and young white man had taken tn.
things there.
George O'Neil, colored, said he saw
Fisher and a white man in the yard a
the Bradford house at $50 o'clock Tues
day morning, and shortly before l.
O'Clock he saw them come out. Eacl

Salisbury. The trials promise TO- be

The anxiety of Samuel Bancroft in the
columns of the Errry Eyening to have
everybody get registered and vote is
amusing. Can it be that he is beginning
to realize the pitiful figure which he and
his utterances in the past have cut?

lieu of somebody else, he fell back upor

CHIEF DoLAN is never slack in the per.
Torrance of his duty. Sometimes vio-
lators OF the law steal march on the
Chief by violating the confidence re-
posed in them, but sooner or later they
feel the weight of his authority and his
sense of duty.
In his last report as Chief of Police
John F. Dolan to the Board of Police
Commissioners, under date of June 80,
1898, the following paragraph in regard
to gambling occurs:
This city is quite clear of all forms Of
gambling with the exception of policy
playing, and that is SO conducted that it
is difficult matter to obtain sufficient
evidence to convict those engaged in it.
We have no policy shops in our city;
the hackers generally live in other cities,
and are, therefore, out OF our jurisdiction.
The writers and runners here do busi-
ness with regular customers. These
writer's, however, are we'll known to the
police, and are frequently arrested with
the slips in their possession. The sew
eral cases taken to the Court of General
Sessions during the past year was not
very successful, as the court requires
positive evidence to make case But
the vigilance of the officers, although for
time not entirely suppressing the crime,
was successful in keeping it down to
those who are personally known.
The slot machine gambling devices
have been driven out of our city en-
tirely.
The sweat cloth gambling, formerly
carried on on the outskirts on Sundays,
has been completely broken up by our
mounted men.
This is a witness to the conscientious
ness OF his work.
On the day after this was issued the
Wawaset Driving Association opened
their track.
On the Wawaset tracks on Thursday
two Philadelphia bookmakers made
their books openly, with the usual re
gard for the winning end.
1t is the duty of the Police Department
to see that this violation of the law il
not permitted.
In comparison with this slot ma
chine is an unmixed blessing, and aswea
cloth an innocent pastime. II book
