For the last twenty years there has
been constant change IN the uniforms Of

likely that the uniform now worn by them
will be in service for many years to

Considerable complaint is heard in
police circles regarding the poor quality
of the material contained within the little
blue service stripes decorating the arms
OF many OF the guardians of the city
showing the tenure of their public sery-
ice. The men, It is said. were charged
1 cent apiece for thin blue stripes. and

washed entirely away. It is thought that

by any police officials in this country we're

CALLED TO ST. JOHNS.
DR.. Addison, Of Boston, Asked to Be the
Church's Rector.

Church's Rector.
The Rev. Dr. Daniel Delaney Addison,
at present the rector Of All Saints Epis-
eopal Church. Brookline, a suburb Of Bos-
ton, viii probably succeed the Rev Dr.
Alexander Mackay- Smith as rector of st.
Johns Church in this city. An official
of the church today admitted that the dis
patch from Boston, published in The Times
this morning announcing that a call had
been extended to DR.. Addison, was cor
rect. He further stated that while no
reply had been received to the communi-
cation the yestry had reason to believe
that DR.. Addison would accept. In all
probability a reply win be received within
the next week when the matter will be
laid before Bishop SatteTlee for approval.
The selection of Dr.. Addison marks a
new era in the history OF the church in
that while ST. Johns has always been
strictly high church, Dr. Addison Is said
to be q low churchman. The members of
the vostry admit that the extending of
the call to DR.. Addison means a departure
from the traditions of the church in this
respect, at least

FRIENDS OF DUMB
ANIMALS ACTIVE
Humane Society Preparing for
the Summer Campaign.
Persons Who Abuse or Neglect Horses
and Cattle to Be Vigorously Prose
cuted.

The agents of the Washington Humane
Society are preparing for a vigorous cam
paign during the coming heated term
against persons Who are cruel to dumb
animals. The hot months are always pro-
ductiye of much-work for them. While
since the organfzatio of this institution
offenseg it deals with have greatly
dwindIed in proportion to the increase Of
population. there is a constant increase
of need of vigilance on the part of the
representatives of the society and they
viii put forth their best efforts to punish
those who overstep the law of thought
fitness and consideration in the treat
ment Of horses and mules, beasts OF bur
den, and COWS, dogs, and cats, and even
chickens, geese, and ducks.
The three agents Of the society who
guard the welfare of animals, Messrs-
Rabbit. Wright. and Haynes, have al
ways worked faithfully, but expect to add
to the credit already gained by future eff
forts. Last year these three men prose-
cuted in the Police Court 643 cases Of
cruelty to animals, and the honesty which
attended their work may Se found in the
fact that 629 Of the persons accused were
convicted and only fourteen escaped pun
ishment. The amount of fines imposed on
convictions was s., 057-
But this was not ali these agents did
in the interest Of dumb brutes. They cx-
amined 12.s7S animals reported to them
as needing attention, aad investigated
3.15S cases Of zaIfeged cruelty. Of the
latter class they remedied without prose
cuticn in c6t.rt. ,515 cases.
The agents claim that while the heart
less custom OF docking horses has been
almost entirely abandoned, a few persons
still practice #, and that special ef-
forts will in the future be made to make
these feel the heavy bend Of the law
