Tuesday night and locked up in the city

Swigart registered at one of the down town

Police court fines are creeping up a little
bit. Last month Judge BabcOck assessed
fines and costs amounting TO SI550. This does
not include the amounts supposed to be paid
by the inmates OF houses of i'll fame. In his
monthly report Judge Babcock made special
mention of this fact in order to place himself
on record. 1t is asserted that for some time
past the fines usually paid by these women
have not been turned into the city treasury
and for that reason Judge Babcock files an
itemlzed report of every case brought before
him. Unless these women are brought in
and fined according to custom the judge says
that he will have complaints flied by other
than police officers in order to show where
the money goes.

Pushing Missionary Work.

In treating his subject, "The Twentieth
Century and the Christian Missions" DR.
Alfred Hodgetts took hopeful view OF the
fuure, and said: Everywhere difficulties Of
magnitude are being met with in the mission
work. How great are these difficulties no
one may know but those who have had ex-
perience in the work. During the twentieth
century everywhere will the work be pushed
until every continent and island of the sea
shall be occupied by Christian nations and
all shall be encompassed The mission work
will be advanced on a broader plan, not for
the Individual man, but for the good of
society in general and the glory Of Jesus
Christ"
DR.. L. X. Tyndall spoke of "The Twen-
tieth Century and Reviyals." THE king
dom of God in this world has been made
through revivals,'' said the speaker. HUI
man nature is emotional All nature Is
emotional The angels of heaven are emo
tional, for did they not, when Christ was
born, break forth into songs of praise,
Glory to God in the Highest, on earth
peace to men of good will?' The church
today is in state of expectancy. The de-
sired results are not brought about. Not
enough conversions are made.
"In the twentieth century a great re-
vival greater than the revival of Wesley In
the eighteenth century, will come upon the
earth that will not only quicken the faith
of Christianity, but shake the very heart OF
heathendom itself. We need more religion
and ii is my earnest conviction that before
the close of the twentieth century the world
will see a fire of revivalism sweep over it,
the greatest in its history, a continual re-
vival that will last until the whole world is
engulfed.'

| On account of the condition OF the police
| fund Councilman Wear, as chairman of the
police committee has taken a stand against
! the appointment of any more police officers
during the present fiscal year. Fifteen
men are now on the police pay roll and
this makes a monthly expenditure OF 1905
for salaries alone. In addition to this must
be charged the running expenses of the
department, which amount to quite sum-
There Is just money enough in the police
fund to pay February salaries and after that
police fund warrants will be at a discount
until the next levy is available, which will
be after August l. As it is now there will
be an overlap in the police fund of at least
$4,000. This yearly overlap is chargeable
TO a great extent to the small levy allowed
for the police fund.
If the Legislature would increase the levy
from 3 to mills ii is thought that there
would be no excuse for an overlap. Resi-
dents in all parts OF the city are clamoring
for more police protection and it is stated
that a policeman is never seen in some
parts Of the city. For this reason the mayor
consented recently to the appointment OF
number of additional men, hoping thak the
legislature would help out by allowing an
increase in the levy for police. The resigna-
tion of Officer Pat Rowley was the cause of
Mr.. Wears resolution. He Is of the opln-
ion that fifteen men will suffice for the time
and in this he is upheld by quite a number
OF citizens According to the charter the
council has no authority over the police,
the mayor being given sole charge OF the
police and fire departments and he may ap-
point and remove men at his pleasure. He
nust, however according to the law, keep
the pay roll down to the limit allowed by
the levy This has never been done here
on account of the demand for policemen's
services. The only remedy now will be an
increase in the levy for police purposes.
