Der Of disasters were only sixty-two Next
to the Massachusetts, coast. the eleventh,
or Lake Michigan district, is the most
deadly. following with 102 disasters The
fifth and sixth districts. which take in
one OF the graveyards of the Atlantic.
Cape Hatteras. had combined eighty-fiye
disasters.
1t must be a decidedly unpleasant as
well as dangerous predicament to be cut
on from the land by the rising tide. Surf
men rescued five persons thus heiplessiy
placed last year. Hunters are often caught
by the rapidly rising waters. They pulled
out or the water sixteen persons who had
fallen OF piers. and rescued fifteen SWIM
mers and bathers. Five were rescued from
death on drifting Ice Two men were over
come by the cold. while four intoxicat ed
men were rescued from danger. A surf
man also pulled q child out Of a cistern,
into which 1t had fallen.
TO show the alertness of the men ii
should not be forgotten that but for their
warning signals on shore 1914 vessels which
were In danger OF strandine, would have
been driven on shore. The patrolmen also
rendered minor assistance to over 600 ves-
sons rescued from vessels by the ordinary
apparatus Of the stations, thtrty-two We're
saved by lines thrown from vessels to the
surfmen on shore. and thirty-seven were
carried ashore by the Hfe-savers, who
waded out into the surf after them
These brief facts show the courage and
efficiency Of the surfmen to their limited
extent. and the public. no doubt shares
with the government the qualification that
charge OF neglect Of duty was not sus-
tanned in the Rio de Jaueiro case"

The force at a station house is divided
into two platoons. and the platoons are
divided in two sections Between sunset
and sunrise an entire platoon Is on duty
all the time. each platoon taking a six-hour
trick. During the day only half platoon
is on duty. each section working six hours.
or rather one section being on duty five
hours and the other seven. the sections
alternating each day, thus giving each man
an equal number of hours Of duty
The two upper floors of the stations are
set apart for the accommodation of the
two platoons. On the second floor are the
sleeping rooms Of the sergeant and the pa
troll officer. These apartments are in the
rear of the building and over the cell
room. In the front of the building large
room provides accommodation for the beds
Of the members Of one platoon. Next to
the dormitory there is a bath room with all
modern appliances for shower baths. The
front room on the third floor provides &C
commodation for the second platoon. There
is a bath room connected with this dor
mitory, too. In the rear Of the dormitory
Is situated the gymnasium. This room is
the general lounging room Of all the men.
In it is found all of the equipment of
modern gymnasium, such as chest weights,
leg weights. arm weights, rowing ma
chimes punching bag. dumb bells, Indian
clubs, parallel bars, etc. In addition to
this the room contains pool table, bill
lard table, with an excellent assortment Of
cues and balls, together with several card
tables.
One in Each Precinct.
The gymnasium Is kept up by a general
fund.- which is placed in the hands Of the
gymnasium association, each precinct hav-
ing it's separate association and its own Of
f1cers. The most popular man in each pre-
cinct Is elected president and manager. 1t
makes no difference If he is private or lieu
tenant, and in the gymnasium his orders
are final. This is what the policeman is
and what he does to relieve the monotony
of his life.
The organization Of the force is almost
perfect and the manner in which the men
are handled provokes the admiration of al
most every person interested in such
things. The discipline and detail Of the
force is looked after entirely by Major Syl-
vester. He has made more changes for
the improvement of the condition Of the
men and the betterment of the service than
did any other chief the department ever
had, and has received the thanks of ma
jorfty of the citizens of the District for
his services. The major is the hardest
worked man of the entire force. He is
often at his Office long before the clerks
get there and he never leaves until al
most dark Many times his work requires
his presence at night, and the lights in his
ONCE often brighten up the street long
after midnight He knows every man UNI
der his command and at a moments notice
can tell exactly what any man does and
where he is or ought to be- Yet despite
this. his labors would go for naueht, he
says. were it not for the work Of the indi.

Court Proceedings.

The Court of Common Pleas con-
vcncd in the city last Monday, his
Honor Judge Townsend presiding. All
the other Court officials were in their
places. Several jurors were absent,
several were excused aud new venirc
had to be drawn. There is Il very
heavy docket, and there is talk of an
extra term to enable the bar to clear
the docket. a number of cases have
been tried but none of them are Of any
interest to the public. Yesterday the
question OF the constitutionality Of the
present jury law, passed at the session
of the Legislature in 1890, was raised,
and his Honor like several Of the other
Circuit Judges in the State. decided
that it was unconstitutional. There.
fore, only those cases are being tried
where the lawyers on both sides agree
that the point will not be raised, but it
is possible that the COnrt will be in
session nearly all the week hearing
equity cases. a number of cases have
been continued and the jurors will
probably be discharged o-day.
