published by REQ uest.)


Two genuine surprises were arrang-
ed and given to Mr.. and Mrs. c. S.
Wallace at their home No. IA Terrace
avenue, Saturday afternoon and even
ing, it being the 25th anniversary
OF their marriage. A sumptous we'd
ding dinner was prepared by Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Marr at their home on
Academy street and all the Wallaces
invited at which place Mr.. and Mrs.
Sidney Wallace Of Waterbury, father
and mother Of G. S. Wallace, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Dodge and their three
boys OF Waits River (Mrs. Dodge is
the only sister of Mr.. Wallace) and
VIM. L. Godfrey of West Fairlie, re.
presenting sisters, brothers, neices
and nephews of Mrs. Wallace in that
section. All Of this company did
ample justice to the bountiful din
ner.
After the dinner some of the party
stole away and gained an entrance to
their home on Terrace avenue and
loaded the dining table with an ele-
CANT dinner set OF dishes, a silver tea
service consisting Of a magnificent en-
graved tea pot with COSY, purchased
in Scotland; beautiful engraved and
gold lined sugar bowl. creamer, spoon
holder with marked silver spoons and
butter dish, pair of nice table cloths
and silver shaving cup and b, ush
marked "76 G. s. w., 'Ol" and can
Of the finest of maple syrup to sweet
en- the occasion.
The children of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
lace had decorated the sitting and
dining room with some new lace cur
tains and fixtures. Imagine the sur
prise of the 25 year married couple as
they entered their occupied and
changed home at 4 o'cl ok and enter
ed into the joyous festivities Of the
occasion.
In the evening everything was 60
ing on as joyous as marriage bells
when the door bell rang and about 40
friends were admitted many of which
were members OF the Congregational
church of which Mr.. Wallace is dea-
con. This party was got together by
Deacon and Mrs. Alex Gordon. As
soon as the confusion was settled DR..
j. Henry jackson began to speak in
his natural genial way Of the incidents
of 25 years ago and down to the pres
ent time and concluded by presenting
the happy couple with very large
boquet of polished silver dollars as Il
token to remind them of the OCCASION
Mr.. Wallace responded sta i1g "that
the presence of the happy genial faces
and their presence on the occasion
would long be cherished and our hap
py lives therefore be happier by your
gifts"
Ice cream and cake came ith the
company and all had a feast. Dea-
'rof N5t,tt6rgn6bn then addressed the
Company displaying beautifully dec.
grated cake marked "25th" and made
by Miss Winch and in his happy way
presented the same to Mrs. Wallace.
Social greetings we're then the order,
some one finally breaking out with
that good old song "Auld Lang
Syne" and the party broke up show
ering them with many happy returns
and a repeater in 25 years more.
Many contributed to the gifts who
we're unable to be present and sent
their regrets.

". Miller acted as secretary. The OBJ
ject, Mr.. Simcring explained. was TO form

navy yards and arsenals which will make
them independent of the machinists or
ganiZation. He suggested that the pro-
posed organization become affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor.
The meeting was also addressed by Mr.

A DETECTIVE ALWAYS READY.
Some One of the Force to Sleep at
Headquarters Nightly.

Detective Ned Horne slept last night
at Police Headquarters. His rest was un-
disturbed. He dreamed of Dorsey Foultz
and troublesome times. yet no call came
TO arouse him from his slumbers. Tonight
ana every night hereafter one of the de-
tectiye corps will ren1a in at Headquarters
For twenty years this custom has been
in disuse. II is recalled that under Super
tntendent OF Police Richards, early in the
history Of the department. one of the
detectives invariably slept at Headquar-
tiers. This was when the Police Depart
nent occupied other quarters not far
from Four-a nd-a-half Street and Pennsyl-
yania Avenue northwest. With a new
administration of affairs. however the
owl system was done away with IN the
department, and was apparently forgot
ten.
Not long go Major Sylvester deter
mined that the needs Of the city demand
cd detective constantly on duty al
Headquarters. For years Sergeant Carter
has remained in charge At night, assisted
by Robert Burns one OF the veterans of
the force. on occasion of murders OF bur
SlarleS II has been the custom to send to
the homes Of various detectives. who were
routed out of bed and sent to the scene
OF the ira geuy,- whatever it might be. All
this has now been changed to a great cx-
tent. With detective at Headquarters
no such hurry calls to the various homes
Of members Of the detective force Will be
ment. The detectives Will take turns at
duty at Headquarters, each man Re main
ing there once every sixteen nights BY
this arrangement time will be saved when
an emergency arises. and all the detec-
tiveS viii be reasonably sure Of rest a
night without interruption Among the
men themselves. the change seems TO
meet with favor

THE MOUNT PLEASANT CASE.
Police Determined to Clear Up the
Mystery.

| A veil of mystery surrounds the iden-
tity of the two thugs who Thursday night
created excitement in the vicinity of Fiji
teenth and Sheridan Streets, Mount
Pleasant, by making an attempt. to as
sault De Witt Hartwell, a Census Office
clerk, while he was enjoying a walk with
a young lady. -
Sergeant Doyle and Bicycle Policeman
Kersten and Nebb, of the Eighth precinct
station, took into custody shortly after
the affair two men tallying with the de-
scription given by Mr.. HartweL of his
assailants. At that time, upon being
confronted with one of them, Hartweil
became so enraged at first sight that he
struck the prisoner a blow in the face,
but afterward stated that he did not think
him the man. Consequently Sergeant
Doyle released both the prisoners.
Lieutenant Kenney however, upon hear
ing of the affair yesterday morning, at
once assumed charge of the investigation
and detailed a number of his men upon
the case. One of his first acts was to
order that the two suspects taken into
custody by Sergeant Doyle the night of
the assault be rearrested and locked up
on charge of suspicion, pending an in
vestigation.
Lieutenant Kenney last night stated that
IL was his purpose to continue the search
for the guilty parties until they should
or until he himself should understand
the affair more thoroughly. AS result
of the IeuteHants orders, Policemen Bar
rett, Evans and Wilson yesterday after
noon locked up at the Street station
two young men giving The names Of
Thomas w Parker. twenty-five years of
age. and his brother. Charles w. Parker.
eighteen years of age. both of whom
side on Whitney Avenue northwest and
are well known to both Lieutenant Kenney
and his bluecoats.
Both the prisoners. however, deny any
knowledge OF the affair. and assert that
this morning should they be given a hear
ing. But. as far as could be learned last
night this is not at all likely.
Yesterday evening Mr.. Colett, the
father of the young lady who accompa-
MED Mr. Hartwell when the assault took
place, called with his daughter at the
Eighth precinct station and had a long
talk with Lieutenant kenney. AS a last
resort the lieutenant ordered the prison
ers brought into his Office. but Mr. Hart
well again stated that it was impossible
for him to identify them as his assail-
ants. despite the fact that one of the ac-
cused men was the one individual Hart
well struck at when first taken into Gus
tody by Sergeant Doyle
1t was learned last night that as long as
Mr.. HartweH failed to identify the two
men locked up on suspicion. despite the
belief entertained by the police that they
are the right men, both will be relea sed
this morning. But the matter will not
drop. for il is Lieutenant kenneys idea.
as expressed by himself last night, to
investigate the affair thoroughly before
making any more arrests.

THE INJURED MUST WAIT.
Hospital Service Impaired by a
New Police Regulation.
Not Permitted to Go
Faster Than Twelve Miles an Hour
No Exception in Cases Where
Medical Aid Is Urgently Needed.

Citizens who may be injured. or over
come by the heat or suffer from severe
cold, must wait in future for medical aid
until the ambulance from the Emergency
Hospital, running not over twelve miles
an hour. reaches them. Yesterday the po-
lice served an order, coming from the
Commissioners. on the hospital authori-
ties, to the effect that the ambulance
must not exceed the rate of speed pro-
vided for such vehicles by the police reg
ulations.
1t has been said that the order in ques-
ton results from complaints by certain
business men on Fifteenth Street. No one
but the Commissioners and Major Sylves-
ter seems to know just who made the
complaint, nor does it matter at all. 1t
is claimed by the hospital physicians that
frequently, in responding to urgent calls
from every section of the city. the life of
"A sufferer hangs in the balance, and the
matter of few minutes may settle the
question of life or death. 1t is held by
many accordingly that ample cause eN-
lists for making rapid runs in the ambu-
lance on emergency calls.
No one last night was able to say Just
what would be the outcome of the police
order. For the present the order will be
strictly obeyed until the hospital authori-
ties see fit to take some" action toward
securing relief. The matter has been pre-
scented to the management of the hospital
by the resident physician.
One of the hospital physicians said last
night that he supposed persons injured in
future would have to die. before the am
bulancc would be run faster than the
speed allowed by law It was suggested
that thirty or forty minutes would be
required to run the ambulance from the
hospital to Florida Avenue and Seventh
Street, a distance OF about two miles and
q a
easily pass away before a surgeon could
reach him
