 -Milk Inspector keeley has grown tfed waiting for some milk dealers to co1ilpiE With the law ill the 1natter | o1 registering in the city clerks oiflce and will soon take action against 'helf. The inspector told q Democrat l reporter to-day that he had given peo-
 pie a couple of weeks over the time
 so that ho one could say that he had o'en 1ak"n short. but he finds that lenlehrE Was not appreciated. Curious

The man on the 1 Brooklyn Briefs often boasted of l what laW-abiding people resided in | thlS section. and while he does not dount the milk inspectors word. still | he thinks there must uc some mistake
 about the matter. Probably the tardv
 ones forgot all about it. In any case
 We seize this opportunity to remind 1 lhem that it's costs nothing to register
 and anyone who dCeS not coyet I little 1 unpleasant nOt0rity. accompanied by
 some expense had better attend to it as quickly as possible. The law ap- plieS to owners of one cow as well as

 Porter and Third streets, Washington avenue and innumer;lble other places.
 But that coasting possesses dangers | as well as charms. a few of the younr- SttrS who were delightng in the ex-
 Hlliilatln@ sport last evening on upper Bahk street near the brewery. can teS- | tnE About o'clock q large double ripper on Which were about eight bows came down at rapid rate past the brewery and was about to speed past | Porter street when q woman crossed over the street. The boy steering the
 ripper turned to one side and in doing
 so ran straight into trolley car,
 smashing the fender. All the boys
 were more or less hurt, though not
 seriously. Wounds upon the legs and | injuries to knees were predominant
 One of the boys named Bruzo was i rather severely injured. It was
 thought at first that he had sustained
 fracture Of several of his ribs but
 after he was taken to his home in the
 vicinity of South Leonard street. his
 injuries were found not to be so ser
 iCus. Sledding on upper Bank street
 IS always dangerous and it is incon-
 ceiyable how boys should still persist
 ln using that street for such purposes,
 when there is as good. if not better,
 sliding in other safer places.
