Man on Police Force.

Charles T. Bliss. who was dismissed from
the police force in January, 1893, recently
applied to the District Commissioners for
reinstatement. The man claims that he is
not able to secure employment while the
cloud of dismissal hangs over him, and
promising not hereafter to repeat the
offense for which he was dismissed, intox-
iCation, filed a number of letters from cit
liens in which favorable consideration of
his application was asked.
Commissioner Wight, who has immediate
charge of the police department, advised
his associates that in his opinion the rea-
son given in support of the application for
reinstatement is not sufficient to justify the
commissioners approval 1t would not be
right he said, to reinstate him out Of sym
pathy and thereby weaken the influence Of
his dismissal from the force.
Mr.. Wights associates have approved his
recommendation, and the applica ton has
been denied.

Garlic in the Lawns,

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Can you inform the public whether or
not there is any law in the District to pre-
vent parties from permitting garlic to grow
in their yards or lawns or on the parking
occupied by them. and, If there is, whose
duty IT is to see that the law is enforced?
II there is no such law, there certainly
ought to be. for no matter how much care
a citizen may take to keep his lawn free
from the pest. it is next to impossible so
long his neighbor permits 1t to grow in
his yard.
The existence of garlic and the English
sparrows are the greatest Affections OF the
national capital. and both ought to be ex-
terminated, If possible. w. c. D.
April 20, 1899.
