him INTO contact with the northern

fall to the lot OF the average colored

Is in the line of business, and the
purely social aspect never enters
Principal WashInton's head. We feel
quite sure that the same is true of the

the President found that he could

It is certainly a very fortunate thing
for those up-to-date artists who are
constantly looking for song novelties
that Messrs. Bob q ole, ]. w. q d Ro-

their efforts for the past season IN the
production of songs entilely new In

"Pve Got Troubles Of My Own, ""WhY

all of which she had great success, so
much so that the trio are writing the

Review and Recommendation in Major Syl-

annual report to the District COmmis-
siouers. The report is supplemented
by the police estimates, which were
first submitted 10 tho Commissioners
last Sumner and have already been act
ed upon, urging a material increase IN
the force. Major Sylvester, first OF all,
details the working OF the new per-
sonnel law which was passed by Con-
gress February 28 1904, and which
became effective May II, 1901. Some
weeks later Capt. Nj. A. AuSun VINO
was also assistant superintendent,
was retired, and Captain BOardman.
who was chief OF the detective bureau,
was promoted TO be captain and as
sistant superintendent. Speaking OF
the wisdom of this course and the I'M
portance of the detective branch oi
the service, Major Sylvester says:
There is no municipality IN the
country where social conditions are
identical with those of the District OF
Columbia, or where the laboTS OF the
police have been rewarded with
greater success. Other cities have
recorded many escaped muTdeTers,
this city has had none escape during
the present administration OF pohct
affairs.

following statement:
"On the 21st day Of July, o'clock

wife, Victoria, born has, under the
assistance of said Mrs. -, a male
child born, whose weight was about
the same as what the weight of a
full-grown old-country hair is. have
baptized the child, and have given him
the names G. F.. This baptizing
has been done in the same way and
manner as have already baptized IS
babies of my wife and myself before;
that is, the baby receives by the procla-
nation of his name, a good smell of a
pure glass of lager bier. By my ex-
perience can recommend this cere-
mony Of baptizing, the result is, with
out exception, that such a boy so bap-
tized will never become drunkard
