Of life, limb. and property.

Some energetic action is required"
BY this the Superintendent Of Police con-
veyed to the Commissioners the informa
ton that the department had ANTICIPATED
the very complaint which Mr. Williams had
filled with them
The Superintendent also called the at
tention Of the Commissioners to a clause
In his last annual report. in which he had
spoken Of the desifability Of having
numbers displayed On wagons in order that
the police and others might identify them
and their drivers held accountable for fast
and unlawful driving. Continuing, Major
Sylvester said: -
There is doubtless much careless driy-
ing done in this District by youths. and
at times by mere boys who are put in
charge Of horses and vehicles The police
will do what they can to make EXAMPLES Of
some Of those who are reckless and care
less IL driving in and about the District"
It is understood that the Commissioners
Will approve the statement of the Super
intendent and will vote to inform the com
plainant in accordance Herewith.

AGAINST FAST DRIVING
Complaint of a Citizen Of the Speed
Of Delivery Wagons.
An Alleged Collision with . Bicycle
Rider--A Suggestion That Vehicles
should Not BE Entrusted to Young
Drivers - Instructions Given by
the superintendent Of Police.

q. R. Williams, OF this city, has written
to the Commissioners complaining Of the
rate Of speed at which grocery and milk
wagons are driven. In introducing the
subject he says he is acting in the inter
ests of humanity and the safety Of the
general public. He maintains that there
should be law, and that the law should
be enforced, in reference to carriages and
grocery and milk wagons, but more espe-
cially grocers' wagons which are driven by
negroes.
Mr.. Williams cites an instance which
occurred at Third and D Streets north
east, where a negro driving q wagon
turned a corner quickly and ran into a
clerk of the Government Printing Office,
who was riding bicycle slowly onthe right
hand side Of the street. At the time the
horse Is declared to have been on run.
In his indignation over the condition OF
affairs which allows such things to take
place in the Capital City. Mr.. Williams
informs the Commissioners that 1t is his
intention to get up petition prohibiting
negroes from driving any kind;of vehicle,
except such as they own, when they will
be careful for their own interest. Mr..
Williams says he knows of several in
lduCSS AL 0AlCA nave oh
tempted to run over white women and
children.
The complainant sums up the situation by
saying that negroes are q vicious set Of
beings. and he refers to the remark Of
former Commissioner Wight approvingly.
and gives 1t as his opinion that the lives
of our citizens are not safe with the
negroes in the city. Mr.. Williams thinks
that II the citizens could go armed the
negroes would be afraid to be SO lawless
in the streets. He believes that strin-
gent law should be enacted and enforced
against drivers turning corners sharply, in
pedestrians. The law as 1t exists, says
Mr.. Williams. requires space the width
Of a wagon between the turning vehicle
and the curb He then enters into an
argument for the licensing OF drivers and
the holding Of them to strict account for
their management of vehicles In the
streets. He believes that persons will
yet lose their lives from the reckless
driving Of irresponsible and careless negro
boys who are entrusted with grocery and
other wagons in Washington.
In reporting upon the complaint to the
Commissioners the Superintendent Of Po-
lice called their attention to the bulletin
which the department publishes from time
of the members Of the force. In copy
Of this bulletin, which he forwarded with
his renart, appears the following
Specially
Complaint has been made to the COM
missioners about the speed Of horses, espe-
cialIy those driven by youths and boys.
Please have your bicycle men give the
matter attention with view Of breaking
up the practice Of turning corners and

FREAKS oF THE SIGN PAINTER
Some Novel Spelling Seen on Signs in
Various Parts of the City
of ChicnGo.

Chicago sign painters indulge il
some queer orthography. In big REQ
letters on the outer wall of State
street variety theater is the following
sign: Twenty Lovely Females with
Forms Devne." There have been
many Devines, and their forms were
as perfect as houris' whatever they
are-and perhaps this variety man
ager was not under a bad spell when
he had the words so painted. If he
means that he has as an attraction 20
of the Deyines from County Clare, Ire
land then he, indeed, has something
to brag about in big red letters. 1t is
more probable, however, that tho
manager of the theater meant forms
divine" and that he knows nothing
OF the Glare clan.
In Clark street, near Thirty-seventh,
is restaurant which heralds to the
hungry public that it furnishes "Meals
al all hours; sandwiches of all kinds;
oysters in any stile.' This ought to
cover the situation thoroughly and
supply the necessities Of any hungry
man.
Dresses Maid Over" is a sign on the
front Of house in North State street.
A maid often dresses over, and per-
haps the sign merely got the cart be-
fore the horse, and fits the facts in
the case all right.
A sign displayed on a South side
building proclaims "Stabling here for
horses and mete and drink fur the
driver" In the business district can
be found such signs as "This Place
for Sail" Hare Cut, Is Cents" "Shoes
Half-Souled Vile You Wait" and
"Teeth Extrachted Vile You Wate."
A secondhand store in Clark street
near Harrison displays sign which |
says: "Cotes and Britches for Sail."-
In Chicago avenue dealer in fuel an
nounces that he has "Cole and Wude"
for sale. The ingenuity of West Mad
isoD street grocer is displayed by
sign which says he has Canned
Goose, Straw, Black, Blue, Ras and
for sale. In Milwau-
l1ee avenue a card is hung in store
window which announces that "Giny
Pigs" may be bought there.-Chicago

sALAMANDER CATS.
Curious Little Rodents That Burros
and "PulI the Hole in
After Them"

In many places in the extreme south.
ern states, especially in what is locally
known as the 'piney woods, . one of the
most notable features is the constantly
recurring mounds of yellow sand which
everywhere dot and, it must be con-
fessed, disfigure the monotonous land
scape. These piles of earth are usually
nearly circular in form, fairly sym
metrical in contour, from six inches
to two feet in diameter, and, save
where they have been beaten down BY
rain or winds or the trampling of cat
tie, about half as high as they are
broad. Often these sand heaps are
pretty evenly distributed, sometimes
so thicl1ly as to cover at least one
fourth of the soil surface. If you ask
a native the cause of this singular phe-
nomenon, which you will perhaps at
first be disposed TO consider a kind Of
arenaceous eruption which has some
how broken ort on the face of nature,
your informant will sententiously re
ply: ''Salamandersl"
All this Disagreement is indeed the
work of a curious little rodent popu-
larry so named and about the size and
color of an ordinary rat. He is never
seen above ground If he can possibly
help it. He digs innumcrable branch
ing underground tunnels at depths
varying from one to six feet, and these
mounds Of sand are simply the dump
heaps" which, in his engineering opera
tions, he finds it necessary to make.
After carrying the excavated earth
10 the surface this cautious little miner
takes the greatest pains to cover up
his tracks. No opening into his bur
row is left. How he manages TO so
smooth over his little sand
mound and then literally pull the hole
IN after him" is as yet unexplained

THE COOLING EARTH.
Interior shrank, Leaving Great
Wrinkles and HolIows ON Its
smooth Surface.

Once upon time. the learned men
tell MS, this world on which we live
was a part of the sun and was thrown
off from it-taking the round form it
has, as it whirled about through
space. At that time it was terrifical-
ly hot, like the sun from which it
was thrown out, and probably in the
form of gas. But being much small
er than the sun it cooled much more
quickly and became white-hot LIQUID.
And this, too, gradually cooled more
and more, until at last a thin crust
began 10 form on all around it, as IA
film forms on cooling molasses candy,
when it begins to harden. The water
in the air about it frequently formed
into rain and fell on the hot surface
and helped to cool it, though, Of
course, it evaporatcd again very quick
~ from so hot n place But after d
time it did not evaporate so quickly,
but remained on the crust and grad
ually formed an ocean all around the
earth And the inside Of the earth
went on cooling under this first hard
ened crust and shrunll as it cooled,
for all things grow smaller as they
cool off. You can easily prove this
yourself By heating the end OF a key
that fits lock snugly; and you will
find that, when it is quite hot, you
cannot get it into the lock at all, but
as soon as it cools it will go in again,
as, before. So the inner part of the |
earth went on shrinking, and finally
it shrunk so much that the outside !
crust, which was not SO very thick,
comparatively speaking, doubled up
and cracked at different spots all |
round the earth, SO that the surface,
which must before have been pretty |
smooth, became rough with high ele-
vations and deep depressions, and nat
urally all the water flowed into those
deep depressions and formed oceans
in spots where there had been before
) single ocean reaching all around the
globe.

A San Francisco Rat.

A dead rat was discovered in some
furniture which arrived from San
Francisco on the barkentine Archer,
by the consignee on delivery of the
goods. The ladies were panic stricken
when the rodent was discovered at
home, fearing 1t had died of the plague.
The health guards on the Archer, how
ever, who have their eyes open all
night and all day, too, swore that no
rats had come aboard in Honolulu,
and the captain backed this assertion
with the declaration that the offender
was San Francisco rat.
