WITH THE POLICE
Stories Gathered at Headquarters and
on the Beats

The clubs carried for so long a time by
the police officers of Birmingham did their
last service in the hands of these gentle
men yesterday. They will be replaced to-
day by clubs of more modern pattern, ard
the policemen will also be equipped with
new black belts with brass buckles, and a
socket in which to carry their "persuader."
1t will be like parting with an old friend
for some of the officers to give up their
old "billies," even though the new ones are
of more seemly pattern, for how often
have their old STICKS stood them in good
stead when arresting some hurley negro,
some drunken tough, or in defense of some
woman or child. Therefore, though they
will be better equipped, the "boys" will
miss their old friends.

ECHOES OF POLICE COURT.

Edward Brown, who Is very black mar
red a woman of his own hue, and was be-
fore the throne on the charge of desertion,
his arrest being the work of two sons of his
wife by a former marriage.
The evidence developed the fact that Mrs.
Brown and her lord were constantly en-
gagged in domastic warfare, matters being
always so disagreeable that Brown pulled
up stakes and left home, he, however, hav-
ing always since that time paid his wife's
house rent. Sc so per month. The step-sons
declared that they contributed 81 each to
the household expenses weekly, and Judge
Feagin said that he could not see that Mrs.
Brown was in any immediate danger of
starvation, receiving the assistance that
she did
One of the sons, blacker than the rest,
but filled with filial affection, asserted that
his mother was always poorly and had
to have a doctor and buy medicine This
somewhat phased the dispenser of justice,
and he toldaEdward that while he thought
he was doing already more than the ma
iority of "niggers" would do in paying rent
for "a woman with whom he did not live,
that to prevent his wife from becoming
burden to the city he would require him
Brown to add 50 month more to the rent
money, making it $3.50 in all, and discharge
him.
Edward agreed, all who come in this
court must. to the proposition of the judge,
and the Brown brood filed out of court.

Youthful Thieves

Clarence Cook, aged 10 years; Lewis Wig
gins, aged Ii years, and Henry Virgins
aged years, all colored, thirsted for a
beverage harmless in itself, it is true. but
they sought to crafty their longing by a
method that has landed many older heads
than theirs behind the bars.
Seeing the delivery wagon of Houppert
e. Worcester's bottlng establishment stand
ing in front of store, they proceeded to
help themselves to several bottles of the
nuuid that sizzles, but doesn't make you
feel good, when they were rudely inter-
rupted by a bue-coated guardian of the
peace and soon found themselves riding in
a wagon very different in character from
the one they had just attacked. They were
landed at police headquarters, and a charge
of petit larceny preferred against them.
