70 retire from public life AID give
his attention to the practice of law,
having been guaranteed $4,000 a
YEAR by New York law firm. Few
men in public life will be so greatly
missed as Speaker Reed. His firm
ness, ability, integrity aud wide
knowledge of parliamentary law
gave him place as the greatest Of
American speakers Of congress, 1t
was his strong Will that held congress
in check a year ago, until the admin
istration had time to prepare for war.
This act of his alone saved the lives
Of hundreds of cur sailors and sol
diers. The same determination was
always used against extravagant ap
propriations and Legislative schemes
Of ali kinds. He has made greater
impress on the laws Of the country
than any man of his day, and history
will say it has been for the good of

INCREASE OF CRIME
AMONG SOLDIERS
GENERAL SKATER ASKED TO
PROVIDE A PROVOST GUARD.

The numerous cases of soldiers called in
the Police Courts recently charged with
various crimes have called forth a re-
monstrance from the Judges. and yester-
day Judge Graham sent the following
letter to General Shafter:
AS one of the Judges Of the Police
numerous depredations committed in
this city by the recruits have been
brought forcibly to my notice. Nearly
every morning men in uniform are
brought into the Police Courts charged
with all crimes from drunkenness to
murder ! notice that nearly all the
crimes committed by the soldiers are
committed while they are under the
influence of liquor and late at night.
1t has been suggested to me by officers
that if a provost guard were estab-
lished downtown to round up" and
take charge Of obstreperous, vicious or
intoxicated soldiers it would result in
advantage both to the citizens and to
the soldiers themselves.
Yesterday William Brown of the Thirty
sixth Infantry appeared before Judge
Graham to answer charge of begging.
He was arrested on Sixteenth street be-
tween Mission and Howard, on Monday
night while soliciting aims from pedes,
trians Lieutenant Peck of his company
told the Judge that the regiment was to
leave by the transport Grant for Manila
in about ten days, and the Judge ordered

AMATEUR SHERLOCK HOLMES
His Reasons for Thinking a Perso
q Regular Army Officer.

Il wonder who that regular army
officer 1s?' said an amateur Sherlock
Holmes OF this city, indicating a mid
dle-aged gentleman who had just
emerged from st. Charles-street store.
How do you know he's regular army
officer? asked a friend. ct strikes me
that his appearance is distinctly un-
military" Permit me to say re-
sponded the amateur sleuth, that you
are very superficial observer You evil
IDENTIFY overlooked the fact that when
he felt in his trousers pocket just now
he raised the bottom of his, coat in
stead of brushing it aside. The move
ment was most unnatural for civilian,
and proved conclusively that he was in
the hablt of wearing a side-slashed
military blouse"
DID you base your conclusion en-
tirely on that trif1ing circumstance? '
asked the other with some scorn "Oh,
no. replied the analyst airily, "it was
cumulative, entirely cumulative. I had
already observed that he carried his
watch IN his outside breast pocket, a
habit common to officers, and that he
made an involuntary movement toward
MS larboard hip as he brushed past a
lady IN the doorway. Of course he was
pushing aside an imaginary sword, and
when ne paused and started again with
his left foot I was certain he was in the
service You said he was regular,
believer" Certainly, those things are
the habit of years" "Your sagacity
does you great credit" said the anna
tours friend. eff I hadn't bought my
groceries from that gentleman since '92
I'd agree with you on the spot. Come
and join me in some nerve tonic."-
