EXCURSIONS.

1t is a question in the minds of those who
| have frequently visited Fortress Monroe
and Virginia Beach as to whether spring is
not the pleasantest season of the year to
I be at these famous seaside resorts, and
certainly no one would ask for more de-
nghtful weather for such a trip than that
which this part of the country has been
blessed with lately. The elegant steamers
of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company have always been the favorite
route from this city. These steamers are
handsomely furnished, have all the modern
conveniences, are lighted by electricity and
serve excellent meals. They leave 18th
street wharf daily at $50 pm.
Sunday Is the day that great many
select for visiting Arlington, for then they
may spend as much time as they like dur
ing the morning of afternoon hours in ram
bllng about the beautiful grounds of the
national cemetery. The Washington Alex
andria and Mount Vernon railway always
reduce the regular fare for the round trip
on that day. Electric trains leave the sta
ton every forty-five minutes for Arlington
on Sunday. These trains are also the quick
est and most attractive route to Mount
Vernon, giving a view of the Potomac dur
ing most OF the ride. and passing MANY
points of interest. Electric trains leave the
station al 1872 street and Pennsylvania ave

a very direct route to Mount Vernon the

CHIEF GUSTAVE JOSEPH.
Washinstonfan in Charge of Guate.
malan Police.


Gustave Joseph. the policeman, formerly
in Lieut.. Boyle's precinct, who left here a
few months ago and went to Guatemala
Central America, to accept the position of
chief of police Of that city. has taken
charge of the police department there. and
has already made a number of changes.
He had been in office only a few days when
he made an important arrest, for which he
was highly compimented by the news
papers there.
In a letter received by Lieut.. Boyle few
days ago Col. Joseph gives some informal
ton concerning his work in reorganizing
the force. When he reached Central Amer
ica's capital city he found a great many
things to overcome, Shooting and cutting
scrapes happened every day and but little
attention was paid to them. Because of
the radical changes made by the new chief
these disgra ceful affairs are not nearly so
numerous as they Were formerly. Persons
who are now arrested for any offense are
locked up until their cases are tried II was
formerly the custom to release them on
their honor to appear in court, if they had
any standing in the community or If they
had any friends to interce(e for them.
One Sunday afternoon, soon after the new
chief took charge, he directed a. raid on a
suburban town called La LibelTad. This
place is frequented by the most undesirable
classes, and saloons and dance halls are
always wide open. The raid resulted in the
capture Of great many deadly weapons,
and the police station that night presented
the appearance of an arsenal. Many lris-
OnerrS were also locked up.
Because of the small salaries paid the
members Of the force, 1t is rather difficult
to get a sufficient number of good men for
the positions The policemen get $40 a
month and their uniforms. These uniforms
are made by policemen who are tailors by
trade, and who are detailed for the purpose
They do their work in one of the stations

For violations of the rules of the depart
ment the officers are not fined they are
in this city. They are merely deprived Of
certain privileges. Usually for a slight Of
Tense they are prevented from going to
their homes when off duty for periods vary
ing from ten days to a MONTH while for
more serious offenses the officer is locked
up with the prisoners and is given prison
treatment. In extreme cases he Is dis
missed. Col. Joseph thinks this mode of
punishment is more effective than that in
operation in this city. He has adopted the
system of doing duty there that is in force
in this city.

JOSEFFY'S PIANO RECITAL-Rafael

His program was in three parts, but some

played three Brahms compositions. new to

One was the Senate in minor,
Op- 5, and the other two We're inter-
mezzi from OPP. III and Op 11S. They
We're brilliantly rendered, but proved heavy

part was made up of six numbers, includ
ing Chopins ballade No. 4, the Polonaise

admirable opponents of Joseffy's accom-
plishment. Tschaikowsky's Senate, in G
major. OPP. 81 ended the recital and was
happily placed. Altogether, the pianist
made a most agreeable impression, and he
may be sure of a cordial welcome upon his
return. So enthusiastic was his audience
that he gave two encore numbers. the last
being after the program had been con-
cluded.
