his vocation in Washington is at an
end. The gangs which used to exist
have either been cleared out by send
ing the members to life behind
prison walls or they have been
whipped and cowed into submission.
'How was this done? Simply by
. constant and judicious small annual
increase in the police force, SUPER
vised by strict, efficient officers. They
made systematic warfare on all
gangs of hoodlums. Corner loafing
and the gathering of the rougher ele-
ment in crowds were first broken up.
It was not unusual for ringleaders to
be brought into the station houses

Two 0f n Kind. i.

An amusing instance of unconscious
soliloquy during tete-a-tete with a
lady is told of the famous physician,
DR.. Friend. It was in the old convivial
days, and the doctor was summoned
one evening from a rather too festive
board to the bedside of lady patient.
He felt her pulse ''secundem artem,' y
but for the life of him could not count
its beats. "Drunk, by Jove!" he
soliloquized, and pulled himself to-
gether sufficiently to order some
harmless mixture. His delight may
be imagined when the next morning,
instead of an indignant dismassal from
further attendance, he received from
his patient confession that he had
diagnosed her complaint quite cor
rectly.-London Globe.

So That He May Bame the
"Hell0" Girls.

"Remember the old fable about Pan.
led to the infiiction of all sorts of evils
IN the world out of box, where they
had been placed by the gods?" queried
one Pittsburgh business man to am
other, says the Dispatch. "Well, there
are plenty of Pandoras nowadays, but
they are mot called by that name. They
are known as Maude and Minnie and
Susie, and their sweet voices gently
coo: What number, please" to US over
the telephone. wires from ten to fifty
times a day. The hello girls are the
modern Pandoras, who furnish daily
evidences that fair femininity has not
yet outgrown the deadlyvice OF curios-
| ity. Formerly I used the phone for
| confidential communications, chats
| with friends and members of my fam.
Ly, in which I said things / would not
want shouted from the housetops.
Now I don't. have ava akened to the
fact that there is third listener to
the conversation in about nine times
out of ten. There used to be an old
joke about girls wanting to get JOBS
in the post office where they could read
the postal cards. Those same girls are
now obtaining positions in Central
where there is just about ten times tha
fun, and there is less strain on the
eyes deciphering careless chirography.
Any girl can listen, and it is safe
gamble that she will whenever she
gets chance. Were you ever in the
midst of an interesting conversation
with friend when a melodious voice
broke in with: Through yet" Or
similar inquiry? That girl had been
listening, dead sure.
"Prove it? Easiest thing in the
world. Set trap like I did the other
day. I knew the girl on my wire had
been listening. was talking to
friend in the Carnegie building just
then and asked him if he heard of the
awful disaster on the Monongahela riv-
er. I didn't go into particulars. Five
minutes later the bell rang and a fem
mime voice wanted to know all about
it. Was she listening?
"I'd get up public agitation on this
matter but for one thing. There is a
state law. as you doubtless know, pro-
viding for fine of 500 or six months
imprisonment for any employe of
telephone company who shall divulge
the contents of any message with
which he or she may become acquaint-
ed. Now suppose that law is enforced.
What would be the result? 1t would
completely paralyze the telephone
service until the companies could get
more employees, and the service is bad
enough now, goodness knows! Put the
dear creatures in cells for six months
and they would pine away for lack of
interesting conversation to listen to.
No, let 'em listen. I've got scheme.
I'm going to learn Greek or Hottento+.
or some other foreign language, and
get my intimate friends to do the same.
Then we can converse in comfort

CRIME STAMPED OUT.
Washington Now Is the Safest CITY
in the Country.
Once Upon . Time, However, 1t Was
Infested by Organized Gangs of
Negro Criminals of the
Worst Type.
Especial Washington Letter.1

l
lLIX7E HAVE never yet had
w as many men on the po-
lice force as this city
should have" says one of the vet
eran bluecoats; nevertheless the
force has wiped out all organized
gangs of thieves and thugs. The
epoch of such organized crime has
| passed.
Nowadays in every section of the
city one can walk with perfect safe
ty at any hour of the night without
any fear of molestation unless, per-
haps, by some drunkard reeling to-
ward his home. Even he is harmless
if not interfered with. Then, too,
there are certain alleys in the city
which are occupied by rough ele-
ment of negroes, who think nothing
of knocking a man in the head with
brick, but these are places of which
respectable people do not even know
the location, and consequently would
not enter, especially at night, SO it
is still proper to say that person
can go anywhere in this capital city
without feeling insecure.
washington is now the safest and
most peaceful city in this country.
Here ladies feel no hesitancy in go
ing to the theater without escorts.
We never hear of one being even in
suited by rowdy. Rowdyism is prev
alent only in certain quarters, but
even there rowdy gangs no longer ex-
ist.
1.-THE element which gives our po-
lice the greatest concern is the prog
eny of the freedmen. This class of
citizens, however, fight mostly among
themselves, and seldom molest white
persons. They are a cowardly set.
They will lie in wait with brick,
and deeds of daring are not done by
them. Their crimes are generally the
result of drinking. When a certain
peighborhood composed of darkies
learns that an officer does not stand
in awe of them they soon view him
with the highest respect, and his ap-
pearance on the scene of a disturb
ance is generally sufficient to quell it.
DuU LulS COuult1Ou O1 dudlIS was
not always so. 1t was not very many
years ago that it was worth an Off
GERS life to make an arrest in certain
districts. The 'toughs' were as thick
as bees about hive. They were or
ganized into gangs, which congre-
gated at preconcerted signals to do
acts of violence or steal whatever
they could get their hands on. They
were continual menace to the well
fare of the community, and to travel
through those parts of the city after
dark was to take your life in your
own hands.
"Swampoodle, Bloody Field and
Hell's Bottom are localities which
still retain their names, but no
longer the features which character
ized them by those titles. Most of
the crimes and rows of to-day occur
in the narrow, dark and unwhole-
some alleys which lie well concealed
between rows, perhaps, of respect
able houses.
"The typical tough is a thing of
the past in this city. The real old
timer has gone, and we'll he may, for
