New York. June 6.-Evidently the
Aldermen OF New York City do not
feel that they are receiving sufficient
attention or are not well enough known
for II has been suggested that the
wearing OF badges be revived, Before
the new city charter was adopted
members OF the Board OF Aldermen
were supplied with large badges OF
elaborate and gaudy design, which
were worn on occasion as insignia Of
office and which naturally secured for
the wearer many privileges; since the
custom has been abandoned. however
the aldermen fare rather badly. for
the new charter gives them but little
power and the people accord them still
less honor. II the badges are sup
piled they will costs $50 each.
In the future he who runs may
read a policoman's number also. II he
is not more than twenty-five feet away
The change in badges is made in ord
er that citizens may readily Identify
an officer without asking him for his
number or getting. perhaps. unsafely
,close TO him.
In the parlance OF the street urc-
hlns. there is a strong kick coming
from Rear Admiral Rodgers OF the
the Brooklyn Navy Yard. for he Is ev.
erythlng but pleased with the band
that has been sent him from Wash.
ington. The leader and all members
are Italians and none OF them know a
word OF English. Exasperating errors
are made during the marching exer'
cises OF the marines. while the play
at all times Is very bad. The pay In
the band service OF the navy is so very
low that American musicians will not
enlist. so most OF the recruiting Is
done at European stations.
big Chief Devery opened his may
orally campaign In Brooklyn this
week. and announces that he Is going
TO showHugh Mclaughlin how he can
get the German vote. From now on
the campaign in Greater New York
promises 20 be extremely picturesque.
Deyery's followers have formed them
selves into an association which IL
known as Bugs OF Greater New
York" and Mr. Deyery himself is re-
sponsible for the following interview;
IAN de water In de Atlantic can't pull

the campaign will be like the proyerb-
ial bun In china shop; he viii un-
doubtedly break good deal OF China
