HE HANDED IT OVER.

s'Yes,' said the policeman, a pa trolman meets with many thrilling ad- ventures and hairbreadth escapes, and I had my share of them while on the force. I think the one that made my hair curl hardest happened one night on Fulton street. l was sauntering along and wondering if the horse l had backed for the next days races would come in first, when I saw a package on the sidewalk few feet away. It struck me in q moment that the package contained money, and my heart was in my mouth as I sprang forward and picked it up. 1t was scarcely in my hand when the rounds man turned the corner and stood be- fore me and said:
 ''Diek, I'm sure that package is made of greenbacks."
 So am I, sir I said.
 Hand 1t over to me- says he.
 For why? says l.
 Because I'm your superior officer and looking for S5O,000 to buy and fur nlsh me country residence.'
 I'll divide.' says I.
 That's agin discipline and tempt ing an honest man. Hand it right over'
 I handed it over sighed the ex, and the roundsman bought him q beautiful country seat and lived the life of T nabob to his death. When he left the force I asked him if he would not hire me to cut his grass and wash his carriages, but he shakes his head and says:
 Couldn't do it. Dick. Nabobs and patrolmen never get along we'll to- gether You go right on and find an- other package and keep 1t for your honost ty. ]" Brooklyn Citizen

OFFICES iN CITY HALL.
Quite a Sum Could Be Realized il
 Changes Were Made.


 This is a good time to revive the old subject of converting the upper story of the City hall building into offices and renting them to people who might find it convenient to locate there. 1t is certain that more money could be realized out of it ill this way than uia- der the present plan, and many very worthy citizens hope that Mayor Xii duff will give the matter some atten- tion as soon as things settle down after the fire. Years ago there might have been some excuse for maintaining q hall in the building. It was wanted for town meetings and was also in big demand among the churches and soci- cites, who used it for fairs and enter tainn1ents of one kind and another. Things are different now. The town meetings are. something of the past. peace to their memory; most of the churches have halls or parish houses of their own, and societies can use the Auditorium and other places that were nor available some years ago. Of course the old hall comes in handy still once in a while for fair or public eil- tertainment of some other sort but the few fairs and shows that are held there do not amount to much as a source of revenue to the city, and could take place somewhere else just as well The same thing might be said with reference to dances. We can dance. as many of 'us as know how. at the picnic grounds during the summer. and when winter sets in We have halls enough to ''shake cur feet" in without that. Anyway, as one citizen has said with reference to this question. let the dancers dance on the green if they can't find any more suitable place By this he meant that this phase of the subject should not cut any ice in de termining what is best to do with tho City hall And tho man who said this is an old dancer himself and has no objection whatever to seeing the younr folks Wbirl about on the waxed floors until their heads become dizzy. but he believes that there are places enough. in town for that kind of amusement aside from the one in the City hall building. The proposition is worth considering. It never could be 6ona before with any satisfaction. Until fhe present year it was owned jointly by the town and city and it is a notori- ous fact that the two governments never were of one mind as to what use the City hall should be put to. The city IS in full control of the property now, and if it can make more money eut of the building by cutting the han up into offices. the change cannot be made too soon to suit the taxpayers.

PRINCE SENDS APOLOGY.
Expresses Regret to Dewey for the
 Manila Bay Incident.

Expresses Regret to Dewey for the
 Manila Bay Incident
 New York, Feb 15.-The Washing. ton correspondent of the Herald says that long letter has. been forwarded to Admiral George Dewey by Prince Henry of Prussia through a warm personal friend in Boston It expresses the kindest personal regard. and is in a way an apology from Germany to the admiral. Prince Henry admits that the Germans made errors in inc engagement at Manila and that Ad- mlral Dewey was right and acted best in all things.
 Prince Henry's action in apologizing Tor the conduct of Vice Admiral yon Diedrtchs at Manila is highly gratifv- ing to administration officials in Wash ington. It will be remembered that while Dewey was in Manila harbor Ad- miral von Diedrichs assisted in enl- barassing, as far as he could, the operations of the American fleet. He maintained an offensive espiona ge upon Dewey's movements and kept his flagship between the American fleet and the shore until Dewey notified him. with unInistakable emphasis. that unless he withdrew from the line of fire he would have to take the conse- quences.
 This letter will be receievd with great qualification by Admiral Dewey, for he has a high regard for the prince. The admiral will send q representative to New York to receive Prince Henry on his behalf ,as the serious condition of Mrs Dewey's health will prevent him from being there in person.
