 nothing. With the power of the Holy
 Spirit he could accomplish anything. The true history of the Brooklyn

 hung high in the heaven of blue, I could tell weeks before when the abun- dant showers of blessing would fall upon our church altars. My fathers face would be set and anxious. He
 had an air distraught as of one whose l thoughts were far off. When passing his study, I would hear him pleading with God in prayer. The Bible was often in his hand. The family altar would become a holy of holies where | the children would feel a supernatural influence was at work. My fathers power was not his own. It was i'm | parted to him from above.

POLICE BOARD WANTS
FULL FORCE ON DUTY.
An Effort to Be Made to Have Sani-
tary officers and Sergeant
Thomas Returned to Duty.

It is evident that the Board of Police
Commissioners proposes to make big
fight before the City Council. for rear
rangement of the affairs pertaining to
the sanitary police officers.
The four sanitary men are members of
the police force doing health duty and
under instructions from the Board of
Health For their services. which are
given almost wholly to another depart
ment of the city. the Police Board has
to pay about $4,000 per year and get no
credit for it. The same rule applies as
to Sergeant Thomas. who is on duty at
the Police Court. The result is that the
Council is to be asked that the police
force be increased by five new men, or
have these officers returned to active po-
lice duty.
Since so many demands are made of the
police force. the Commissioners feel it
incumbent upon them to use every effort
to get as many men on full duty at all
times as possible.
At the next meeting of the Council
Committee, on Police. Elections and
Schools, an effort will be made to bring
the change about.
It has been pointed out that the City
Council has no right to adopt an ordl-
nance detailing the four sanitary men to
this special duty, and to place Sergeant
Thomas at the Police Court. It is claim
ed that under its charter from the General
Assembly. the Police Board could de-
mand the return OF these men to active
duty. It is not likely, however, that any
such step will be taken. because the
board is not thinking OF crossing the
Council. but hopes to have the merit of
its claims understood by the members of
both branches OF the City Council, feeling
that when the matter is understood the
department will be filled up to its full;
quota of 100 men,

James ]. Kelley. at the corner OF Duke
and Peyton streets. The offence was COM
mitted last night.
According to the evidence elected this
morning, the men had been lurking around
the saloon late last night and the bar
tender became suspicious and posted arm
ed sentinels. Shortly afterward several
men were seen to throw a large piece of
oiled waste into the saloon from the rear.
The sentinels closed in on them. firing as
they did so. The men. however, eluded
arrest and were subsequently taken. This
is the third attempt that has been made to
burn this saloon in the past three weeks.
Ernest Willis was also examined in the
Police Court on suspicion of knowing
of the attempted house-burning. but he
proved to the satisfaction of the court
that he knew nothing, and was dismissed.
