BOYS DisOrderIy Conduct.

James Perry, colored boy, was wanted
by the police to appear for trial in Judge
kimbalrs court for alleged disorderly con-
duct. Not knowing his name, a warrant,
charging him with the offense stated, was
issued against Jim Crow" The proper
name was however, discovered when the
case was heard in Judge KimbaPs court
today. Adam Finger and his wife were
summoned as witnesses. They were sworn
and the court heard their statements. 1t
appeared from the evidence given that the
boy was told not to sit on the bread box in
front OF Mr., Fingers store on Fenton
street. Instead of leaving, as directed, the
boy cursed the grocer

Policeman Maurice w. Qunlan. who was
one of the best-knoWn members of the po-
lice force died at his home No. S14 Della
ware avenue northeast, yesterday after
noon. During his many years of faithful
service the deceased had received several
promotions He did street duty when there
were MANY dangerous and troublesome peo-

received was due to his efficient work, In

author, the deceased Is referred 10 as loi-

cone of the older officers detailed in the
snecial service is Maurice W. Quinan, we'll

when the latter was a very small BOY, from
Ireland where he was born in September

limited to the elementary branches OF the

regulations which are now admirably
enforced were first put into active eXecu-

dollars and his accounts were found evenly

city to go to Atlantic City. 1t was hoped
the change would benefit him, but a relapse
came and he was brought home.

The fowers-even the cOmmonest that

gathered what honey they need they pay
for their marketing by ohiigingly carrying
the golden grains here and there exactly
where the blossoms wish them placed. In
that way the bees act as gardeners and the
plants keep sweetmeat shops that repay
Them for their trouble. Sometimes a great

she will scarcely be blamed for her reluc-
lance to assign any more of her scholars
to occupy that particular piece of furni-
ture- One year ago a bright little girl who
sat in il was thrown from a horse and
sustained injuries from which she died
Three months later Lee Jewett, a boy I'm the

drowned while bathing in the Kaw river
near Turner. Three men met their death
while trying TO recover young JeWett's
body, and the tragedy will long be remem-
bered in Argentine. The last scholar TO
use the desk was Bert Jessup. aged twelve
who, a week ago Saturday, went hunting
frogs with another boy and a 22-caliber tar
get rifle. The rifle was accidentally dis
charged and Bert sustained a wound from
which he died early the next morning.

Alleged Unwarranted Act of a Police
man Yesterday.

The attention of the District Commission
ers was called today to a matter which oc-
Cured on the White Lot yesterday after
noon during the drill of the High School
Cadets. in which a policeman is said to
have roughly, treated young man. The
youth. whose name is unknown to the Com
missioners, was standing beside his bicycle
watching the drill, when the policeman en-
deayored to force back the crowd, and ac
cording to a lady who called attention to
the matter, the young man did what he
could to obey the officer, but, evidently not
getting back as quickly as the policeman
thought he should, was seized in a very
rough manner by the policeman, given a
yio.ent shaking and showed back into the
crowd The occurrence was witnessed by
the wife of very prominent official of the
District government, and the Commission
ers are very DESTROYS that the young man
shall send his name to them that they may
investigate the case.
