NEW FACTS IN POLICE CASE
fcontlnued from Second pagc)

| IIOGIlUupU LTOln SeDOUU lUGF.) | What reasons did he give your" He said the city attorneys office would not grant him warrants"
 What was done?"
 There was an investigation at which the court officials and city attorney were present We decided after a fair hearing that Captain Brewers state ments were not true. City Attornyy Webb testified that Captain Brew CT had not asked for a warrant for a year that he had not received"
 At that time and after that investi- gation was there any discussion among your commissioners as to what should be done with Captain Brewer?"
 Tt was suggested that changes were badly needed in station 1. There was talk of charges against him for inefficiency. But because of his long service in the department his family, and his old age it was thought best to transfer him to station No. ?. As that was a good station with good ser geants it was thought these sergeants might help to hold him up. He was sent to that station"
 How long did he remain there?'
 up to the 14th of last May
 Have you had personal observation of that precinct?'
 "Yes, sir"
 "How often since he has been down there did you visit that precinct?"
 Probably twice month.
 For what purpose?"
 ''To see how things were getting on"
 "Who were the sergeants there?'
 "Connelly, Doherty and Hayes"
 Were these the sergeants you refer red to as being so competent you thought they would help hold Captain Brewer?"
 ''Yes, sir
 what was the condition of that pre- cinct under Captain Tripp?"
 Tt was one of the best in the city"
 How did the precinct continue un- der Captain Brewer?"
 Tt went backward"
 How soon after he had gone there did the commissioners discuss the con dition of Captain Brewers precinct?"
 Quite often."
 What were the views of your fel- low commissioners?
 Tt was the unanimous opinion that the precinct was running down" Tn what respect?" Tn the entire line of service. Tn dis cipline especially" What do you mean by lack of dis rpline?" "The men were not doing their duty IS we'll as formerly under Captain Tripp. They were not attending to iouor violations as they ought" ''To what was that attributed?'
 ''To Captain Brewers incompetence | through old age and other deficiencies. But we had charity for him and tried | to excuse his shortcomings so far as | possible on those grounds. We also at ] .ributed it to his physical infirmities. Have you recited all the complaints

regarded as if he were Nelson or a Wellington,
 The war is now over," we are off, cially informed week by week by com manders, ministers and their friends in the press. We look on these brazen untruths with alarm, for it is thought to be the prelude to some new policy of rage tnd barbarism. But all is not "over." We are not lover" the deadly blow all this sas struck at the empire, the ruin and chaos it has spread through South Africa, the blood poison it has infusel into public opinion, nor the stain on English honor in the sight of the civilized world. There is anoth- CT thing, too which is not yet ''over." And that is the nationality of the Boer republics, which, I believe, are not yet crushed out forever-which, as a patri- otic Englishman, I trust never will be crushed out forever.-London Daily News

vides or dissects the subject of his pic. ture and represents the whole by its
 parts the latter being arranged entire
 ly irrespective of the natural sequence
 The features of the Indian are some
 times incorporated into the representa-
 tion of the animal which forms his | heraldic hearing. Should the beaver
 for example, be the object to be depict
 ed, it is not attempted to design the
 whole form of the animal, but only its
 distinctive and typical parts as for in- stance, it's peculiar tail, which is paint
 ed in criss- lines extending from the chin to the nose, as though stand ing upright. The chin itself does ser vice as the beavers body.
 l The arbitrary methods of the Indian artist render it very difficult, if not im- possible for any but an expert to in terpret the meanings of the pictorial representations. Thus, an animal s ears are invariably depicted above the eyes on the human subject, the ears of the beaver being just above the eye brows. On the cheeks are painted the paws in position as though they were raised to the mouth in the manner con- ventional to Indian carvings.
 The dogfsh painted in red on the face designates the members of an en- tire tribe. On the foreheads of the members of this tribe is painted the long, thin snout; the gills are repre- scented by two curved lines below the eyes, while the tail is shown as cut in two and hanging from each nostril. Only one or two parts of an animal painted on an Indians face indicates that he is of inferior position-the en- tire symbol, no matter in what form presented, is significant of lofty sta- tion and high honors.
 The facial heraldry of the Indian may be said to be unique not alone in the method of representation employed, but in the subjects selected. These latter include fish, flesh and fowl of, all de- scriptions-dog salmon devilish, star fish, woodpeckers, ravens, eagles, bears wolves frogs-even mosquitoes are comprised in the armorial gallery.
 Every object represented has its own particular significance and one of the most peculiar phases of face painting relates to the employment of forms other than animal-tools, implements of the chase or of war, denoting the occupation of the individual or his tribe.
 One tribe in the far west indicates it's location by it's members planting red across the upper part of the fore head and hair to indicate the sky at sunset. Another indicates it's proxim- ity to the ocean by painting small semi circles of red about the outer 1 edges of the face to denote cirrus clouds on the horizon of the sea- Washington Times.

HERALDRY OF THE INDIANS.
sonal Honors Ancestry, Tribe and Cnnditinn.

Marks on the Face Which Denote Per
 sonal Honors, Ancestry, Tribe and | Condition.
 | People in general have been content | to lock upon the Indians adornment of his head with eagle feathers and his face with paint as marks of personal
 decoration inspired by vanity and a
 savage taste, different only in degree from what is sometimes witnessed among those highly civilized peoples
 But the fact is that, in preference to
 the latter custom, for instance, every sort of heraldic meaning, implying not person, but representing also the claims of his family and race to dis tinction. In other words what is shown among more culture communi- ties by coats of arms, orders and decor ations is depicted by the Indian on his face by means of pigments.
 Scientists are now engaged, among other novel investigations concerning the North American Indian, in com bling a record of the armorial, or, rather facial, hearings of certain cele- brated chiefs, and it is said to be fas-
 
 cinating work. One renowned warrior, for instance, will have his lip painted a copper red This is found to indicate that his tribe was once in possession of huge mines of copper Another in dividual will have his forehead adorned with a painting of acertain fish, thus implying that he, or his people, are re- nowned for prowess in catching fish. The same distinguished person some times wears disc of pearl in addition to his paint mask. This by it's shim- mering radiance and it's form implies that he is descended from the moon, in the sense that the goddess of night is one of his ancestors.
 The fact that the Indian has no con- ception of perspective seriously handi- caps the success of his efforts at pie toral art Indeed. the Indian limner merely aims to show the most charac- teristic portion of the object he at tempts to depict, unless he be a man of great attainment, in which case he di-

 He was poor disciplinarian and there was frequent violations of the Sunday liQuor law in his precinct"
 Had you conversations with officers and other commissioners regarding that station?"
 "Yes, sir"

 "Only once"
 Did you see him anywhere within his precinct?"
 NO, sir"
 Did you investigate Captain O'Keefe's administration as the cause of it running down?"
 "Yes"
 What did you decide?"
 That he was worn out in the ser vice and that he was not as competent as when appointed captain and that it needed new blood to keep up the desci- pline of the men"
 What conclusion did you reach in looking into Sergeant Bergins case?''
 Captain O'Keefe once appeared be- fore the efficiency committee and sug- gested a desk position for Sergeant eri of n ltpa and physical infrmities.'

CHINAMEN As PAWNBRokERs
Laundryman is Sometimes an ..VncIe,,
to His Poor White Friend


From the New York Times
There is one enterprise the Cinnamon Of
this city are engaged in that people gen.
orally know nothing about" SAYS a China
| man who speaks as good English as If he
had been born in this country The China
men on the Rowery as the 'uncles of the
Bowery lodging house people, and do a
big business all the way from 9th street
to the city hall The men who frequent the
lodging houses are men without money
and if one of them wants to make a trip
to Harlem 1t is ten chances to one that he
has not the whercWithal to paw his car fare
up there and back again. That is the time
he goes to the Chinaman.
John, he says. I want to go up town,
and l haven't cent. If you will loan me
10 cents on my clothes, l will pay it back
on Saturday.
Then John looks up the laundry. sees
that there Is enough of it to cover the 10
cents. hands out the money and makes
a note on the ticket. When the man gets
a job he comes back for his clothes and
pays 10 cents extra. and that is the end of
It, 1T Is matter OF accommodation and no
| interest is charged If he doesn't come
back in six months his clothes are sold
Il know one case of a man just across
from me. He is waiter, and he got
new job the other day and % cents for the
first days work. His only extra shirt
was at the laundry, and he wanted it and
a handkerchief and collar
john he said to the laundryman who
had his clothes. can't you let me have
shirt and a collar and a handkerchief for
10 cents? I want to begin looking all right.
and / have spent cents out of my - for
tobacco. and must have 10 cents for lodg-
ing. That is more than my own people
would do for me- he said. when the China
man handed over the clothes and took the
10 cents.
Zone reason the Chinaman can keen his
,,-tO onyy &c,
laundry just beside his is partially because
he is accommodating and partially for
other reasons. The people who patr.nize
him don't make practice Of welrlng silk
underwear and they don't like to lct every
one know what tIthey do wear. A Young
workman takes his washing to an orGfnary
laundry, and while he waits his package
must be unrolled and the clothes count ed
and marked before he goes out. There is
nothing ornamental about that clothing,
and probably 1t is not as clean as the
pieces of the man who changes his shirt
every day. He does not like to have it
spread out to view. But he goes to the
Chinaman and the bundle is taken with
out opening, marked, and another ticket
given him. 1t doesn't take much time
either, and that makes a good deal Of Diff
ference to him.
"There is one more reason; for If he
happens to have only two shirts he does
not have to get his laundry go home and
change his clothes. and take the soiled ones
back He takes his clean clothes. goes into
the back room of the Chinese laundry and
changes them, and 1t saves a great deal of
time and trouble.
Yes. sir. the Cinnamon are making
friends in different ways. You could find
some people they have helped who will
swear by them.
