Among Europeans of what are called

which American women travel unes-

Trees That Grow Flutes.

This is the asofar, which grows in the
southern districts of NubS 1t yields a
gum known to dealer: as gedaref, or
senaar gum. DR.. Schweinfurt tells us
that when the wind blows among it's
branches it produces sound very much
like that of flute These musical
properties are due to the fact that the
base of the thorns, with which it's
branches are plentifully provided, is
perforated by an insect in search of the
sticky sap. The wind blowing in these
little holes transforms the thorns into
miniature flutes.

Two OF the Camp AIger Boys I'm Police
Court,

Two soldiers from Camp Alger had
charges of violation of law preferred
against them in Police Court today They
were Edward Perry of Company d. 7th
Illinois Volunteers, and Thomas Francesca
of Company A, 1st New Jersey
Francesca was arrested by Policeman
Hayes near Pennsylvania avenue and LIST
street northwest yesterday afternoon. He
was In a fighting mood.
'I tried to persuade him to get on a car
and return to the camp" said the officer.
but he refused to go. He wanted to fight
every man who came along and when put
In the patrol wagon IL took four men to
hold him.
Judge Scott told the young man if he
had kept sober he would have won ad-
miration instead of condemnation. There
are so many intoxicated soldiers about the
streets now, said the court, that they are
becoming very obnoxious. and something
must be done to break up the evil prac-
tices.
How old are you?' the prisoner was
asked.
Eighteen years" was mis- response.
Were you drunk yesterday
Il was a little drunk
Were you in more than one saloon?"
Il was in four or five of them, and 1t
was the first time l was ever drunk in my
life"
He was fined IS. If he does not pay he
Edward Perry, another soldier, was
charged with disorderly conduct in the
first police station. He went in to see If
any members of his company were in trou-
BILE, and while there indulged in conduct
which caused him to be locked up.
I've been on the police force for eleven
years" said Policeman Cochran, ''and this
young man used the viiest language I've
ever heard"
When the people of Washington learned
that the soldiers We're coming here" said
the judge, they opened wide their doors,
supposing they were coming as soldiers.
Later developments show that they came
here with the intention of taking posses
sion of the city. In doing this they not
only harm themselves, but are calculated
to demoralize our own people. Hereafter,
unless you men who get drunk are kept in
camp, We'll have to put you where you
will keep sober. This is not a pleasant
thing to do, but IL is necessary"
The young man was fined $40, with the
alternative of spending thirty days on the
farm.
A complaint was made to the Comnis-
sioners yesterday that certain saloons have
been selling to soldiers who are under the
legal age, and the police are keeping strict
watch upon the alleged violators. The
case of one of the young men tried this
morning shows that the law has been yio-
lated, for Francesca gave his age as eigh-
teen years Perry was not asked about
his age.

THE LOCAL PROBLEM.
Secretary of War Requested to RE-
strict the Soldiers,

In view Of the daily visit to the city OF
hundreds Of soldiers from Camp Alger. and
OF the consequent increase Of the duties OF
the District police force, the District Com
missioners addressed q communication
to the Secretary of War upon the sub
Ject. This letter the Commissioners de-
clined to make public. feeling that it would
hardly be courteous to the Secretary to do
SO, but 1t is understood they called the Sec
retary's attention to the large number OF
soldiers who daily visit the city and to the
frequency with which it becomes necessary
for the police to interfere with the soldiers
in the preservation of order. 1t is also un-
derssood that the Commissioners called at
tention to the practice of many of the SOL
oiers visiting the city with arms in their
possession a practice which is unlawful,
and which. it is believed, does not tend to
secure the perfect safety of the residents
OF the city. 1t is said the Commissioners,
while not suggesting the establishm ent Of a
provost guard for the protection of citizens
and the better preservation Of order, did
suggest to the Secretary the propriety Of
making such orders by the military author
tiles as will effectually remove the evils
&C mp,ained of.
1t is understood the matter was brought
TO the attention of the Commissioners by
Lieut.. Aniss, in charge of the first pre-
cinct, in which territory the great majority
OF the soldiers are to be found when visit
ing the city. The lieutenant, who has
treated the soldiers with great forbearance
recently concluded that the disorders were
or too frequent and of too great extent
to permit a continuance of this policy, and
II is said, he suggested that the attention
of the military authorities be called to the
matter. There is, of course, no desire on
the part of the municipal authorities to re-
strict the visits of the soldiers to the city.
but 1t is believed that forbearanee is fast
ceasing to be a virtue in the matter, and
for that reason the Commissioners have
asked the cooperation of the military au-
thorities in regulating the conduct of the
men while in the city. They have also di-
rected the police to hereafter make no dis
ttnction whatever In their treatment of cit
izens and soldiers, but to enforce the laws
promptly and strictly On every occasion.

Young Man in EVIL way..

John Brent. young man, apparently not
more than twenty years of age, was today
fined $40, with the alternative of thirty
days in the workhouse, for vagrancy. Sew
eral policemen testified that Brent spent
almost the whole of his time in the dis
reputable section of the city Counsel for
Brent, in arguing for his client, said there
was not an hour of the day or night when
some of the best young men in Washington
could not be found in the same part of the
city.
Judge Scott answered that he believed
what the lawyer said on that point was
without foundation.
