Yesterday was the anniversary of the
birth Of the venerable county court
crier, Charles Sibley, and all through
the day he received the congratulations
Of his fellow workers in public life and
members of the bar. His desk at the
court house was banked early in the
day with immense bouquets of the
choicest of pinks. the gift of Herbert
Parker and Col. T. s. Johnson. Each
yea, he is remembered in a similar
manner, although the exact anniver-
sary that the gifts commemorate is
never known. Crier Sibley is as hale
and hearty as ever. and seems TO be
growing old gracefully, though at times
he seems to be renewing his youth. He
has a fund of "reminiscences of the
Worcester bar, possessed by no other
living person in the city, and delights
to recount famous trials of long ago, on
which he was in attendance.

HAD TO BUY BADGES.
Police Caught Many Drivers Mapping
Yesterday.

The police were busy yesterday gather
ing in the drivers of wagons and other
vehicles which are required b. the city
ordinance TO have badges obtained from
the treasurer's office. The pOlice had made
two inspections of this kind already dur
ing the year. and the consequence was
that many offenders were caught nap
ping yesterday. as it was not anticipated
that another inspection would be mssde this
year With this idea in view many driv-
ers who had recently begun opera idns had
thought IL unnecessary to axe out
badges. They discovered their mistake
yesterday.
The police began their work early in the
morning, the whole squad which Went out
at o'clock having been INSTRUCTED to
make an inspection of all drays and wag-
ons required to have badges, Wnich they
might find on the streets The move OF
the police was far from being a water
haul, and when Clerk of Councl Bailey
arrived at the city exchange he found
about thirty drivers awaiting hin, lall anN-
ious to explain why Ihey did no9 happen
10 have their badges with them wien stop
ped by the police Some had LOST their
badges, some had eft them a home some
had had them stolen aud some had left
their regular wagons in the shop and were
using extra or borrowed Nehlc4eS LOT lHS
day.
One man, who claimed to have left his
badge at home, went off and returned with
a badge which had evidently been taken
from some other wagon. The number
was looked up in the treasurer's office and
it was found that the badge had been pur-
chased by another party. As these badges
are not transferable, the badge presented
was held and the negro who. presented
it was compelled to take out new one
at a cost of So, being the price for two
horse wagon badge for six months. One
case was found where a well known con-
Germ had sold delivery wagon TO another
city and allowed the badge TO go along
with it. 1t was given the opportunity TO
secure the return of the badge.
In ell, about 100 parties were held up
for failure 20 have these badges and about
half the number found it necessary to
cali upon City Treasurer Hardee and pay
over the cash for the use of badge for
half year. 1t was not a bad days work
for the police.
