WAS HIS GREATEST TREASURE.
Modest Choice Which an American
Made of a Sword.


Made of IA Sword.
Somebody was telling just the other
day. of IL wonderful eastern relic, which
is in the possession OF an eX-minister to
Siam, says the Washington Post. 1t
was when the eX-minister was Il full
tiedged representative of the majesty
of Il free people that he vas invited out
of his legation to visit u prince, or Il sub
king, or some other provincial ruler
under the dominion of the king of ST.
am. He was right royalty entertained,
and when the time for his departure
drew near his host desired to load him
down With costly presents.
The American minister refused, again
and again, to take tile valuable gifts
pressed upon him, but mt last, seeing
that to &C away empty handed would
be mortally to insult his princely host.
he decided to take the smallest and
least valuable of all the things shown
him. He looked about the treasure room
and saw hanging ON one wall a perfectly
.jewclled, and it's hilt was quite plain.
Surely lie might take so small a gift as
that. He signified his desire to possess
the weapon. and it was given him.
When he went back to the capital his
majesty expressed Il royal curiosity to
know what the prince had given him.
The sword was shown him. His ma
jcsty fairly dubbed with excitement.
That sword! Why, he had been trying
for years and years to get possession of
it. He had offered the prince its weight
and double it's weight in gold and pre-
cious stones, but the prince had always
refused to part with it. 1t was Il his
toric sword. IL sacred sword, and scarce
ly less precious to the prince than his
crown itself. 1t was hundreds of years
old and the king would have given his
eye teeth for it.
The American had asked for some
thing vastly more precious than any Of
the gorgeous jewels he had refused to
accept, and Oriental p%oliteness had
granted his request. He had Brought
away with him something that all the
power of the mighty monarch himself
had not been able to obtain.

POLICE PATROL WAGON.
Chief Lavelps Plan to Put the "Hurry.
Up" Into Service.

In a few days the Butte police depart

ice The patrol wagon, which did not
meet the requirements when it was re-
ce,ived, has been altered to conform to
these needs. and all that is needed is a
temporary place to keep it. Then the
speechless drunk will cease to enjoy
rides to the station in a hack, while the
boisterous imbiber will no longer have to
be dragged to the balstile.
Chief Lavell hopes to Install the patrol
in convenient temporary quarters, pend
ing the construction of a permanent sta
tion. His plan is to remove one OF the
police patrol boxes to the temporary
quarters and connect it with the general
system Thus a call for the patrol com
ing in to headquarters would, at the
same time, reach the temporary station
and the work could be carried on Wptf

NOT OLD AND DESTITUTE.
The Statement of j. Hoffman smith
TO the CommfSSioners

J Hoffman Smith, OF 524 Tenth Street
northwest. has sent communication to
the District Commissioners protesting
against the publicity given to his private
affairs through correspondence with mem
bers OF his family in Shelton. Pa
\ correspondent representing himself
TO be the son OF Mr.. Smith wrote to the
Commissioners last February making en-
quiry about the father and stating that
information had reached him that the old
man was i'll and in destitute circumstan-
ces. The letter and the efforts of the Dis
trict authorities to investigate the case
were published in The Times.
In his letter to the Commissioners Mr.
Smith deEies- that he is or has been i'll
or in destitute circumstances, and he earn
estly protests against the actiCr OF all
concerned in this affair" The police in
making enquiry concerning the older Smith
obtained some information from a woman
whose name was mentioned at the time.
Mr.. Smith describes her as "a very worthy
female" and insists that her name should
never have been brought into connection
with his own.
Mr. Smith refers in strong language to
domestic troubles long past which preclude
any association with his relatives in Penn
sylvania. and resents the effort on their
part to force assistance into unwilling
hands. He deplores the publicity given 10
these matters, and insists that while he
suffers sometimes from attacks of rheu-
matism he is rot III. and he has vet to
learn, he says, that IL is a disgrace to be
old or to earn frugal living by the labor
Of his hands.

An Opinion From the Attorney ON
the HorseIess Vehicle


The Assistant At5orSey for the District
has sent to the Commissioners an opinion
relative to the automobile or other horse
less carriage as a vehicle for the convey
ance Of passengers for hire on the streets

Mr.. Bradenburg states that by virtue OF

1887. the Commissioners have authority TO
establish and regulate the charges To he
made by owners of hacks and hackney
coaches of any kind whatsoever He fur
ther says that acting upon this authority
the Commissioners have promulgated rules
OF the Police Regulations which provide
that any public vehicle for the conveyance
Of passengers shall be considered hack
within the meaning snd intent Of the regl1-
lations. The attorney continues.
1T is my opinion Congress intended To
authorize the Commissioners to regulate
the charges made by owners Of vehicles for
hire used for the conveyance OF passengers
wholly irrespective OF the motive power
Ii is my opinion, therefore. that ronyav-
ances of all kinds engaged in the transaor
tation o. passengers for public hire on the
streets Of the city Of Washington. irrespec-
tive of the motive power. are within the
law and regulations quoted, and that il is
not necessary to make any further reguIa-
tions upon the subject.

opinion that the horseless vehicle shouId
be licensed as the hack is licensed sn5

to fix the rates which shall be charged for
