EREENE And EXCISE Law
No Specsal Orders About Enforce
menf To-daY.

The police enforcement of the Excise law to-
Eay, the first Sunday in Police Commissioner
Ereene's administration. will be watched with
Interest by the liquor men and politicians of
she city. General Greene has declined TO say
anything about the enforcement of the law
against selling on Sunday, although newspaper
men have tried to get him 20 talk on the sub
Sect. He declined TO say yesterday If he had
given any particular orders for the enforcement
pf the law to-day The best information to be
obtained from other police officials was that no
special order had been issued.
General Greene told the district inspectors Of
police that he would hold them responsible for
the enforcement of all laws in their districts.
Then ne sent them to work in their districts.
directing them TO move their offices from Police
Headquarters TO convenient police stations. 1t
is expected that the inspectors will enforce the
Excise law under General Greene much as they
did under Colonel Partridge-that there viii be
no general crusade by the police any Sun
DAY. but that the greatest care will be taken
TO prevent violations of law in dives Of every
description. 1t is understood that Mayor Low
favors such liberal enforcement Of the law.
The order of Commissioner Greene to remand
20 patrol duty all the precinct detectives and
plain clothes men has alarmed many liquor
dealers whose places have been suspected of
Ebeing under police protection. The order was
keepers of places where the law has been vio-
Hated under police protection will naturally
sTemble for their safety. To liquor
dealers who have been paying blackmail TO the
police. however, the order will seem relief
from taxation. With the wardmen out Of the
svay, these liquor dealers may think that they
Gan violate the law on Sunday without paying
for immunity from arrest.
In the Tenderloin the situation to-day may be
somewhat different from that in other parts Of
the city. because Of the personal ambition of
Captain Miles OReilly to have the Sunday law
enforced strictly. O'Reilly kept most Of the
saloons closed In his precinct on Sunday when
fe was st the Oak-st. station. He made the
patrolrnen under him understand that they
would be held responsible for any violation Of
aaw their posts, and he had the habit of going
about and seeing for himself how they enforced
phe law
Captain orReilly spent the greater part Of
Friday night investigating places in the Tender
Join which have the reputation of violating the
Sunday law He gave strict instructions TO the
patrolnen OF the precinct yesterday and last
night TO the enforcement Of the law to-day.
An Indication Of the captains desire to have the
saloons closed at unlawful hours given at
an early hour yesterday morning, when a citizen
went to the police station and reported that a

coat and started TO the saloon, taking
the citizen with him. The place was closed and
dark when they arrived there and O'Reilly up

nown the gauntlet to some OF the gamblers and
booksellers in the Tenderloi1 who were reported
40 have defed him He stationed policemen in
uniform in front of three alleged gambling
houses and five alleged poolrooms and gave
careful instructions to have all business at the
places stopped.
He ordered the men not TO stop at anything
be had them warn all the people entering that
they were going into poolroom gambling
house, the might be: that they We're
doing a dangerous thing, and that they might
be arrested, and would then have no one to
blame but themselves. He made the policemen
follow men into the houses, If necessary and
See what going
Then, at O'Clock, all the men reported that
net arrest had been made a violation of
THE law discovered.
They've all got TO go: / say So" said Cap
tain O'Reilly.
Two policemen were stationed in front of each
of two houses in Thirty-fourth-st. and Thirty
sinth-st. The captain thought they might be
busier there
The policemen watched the places all after
moon. They stepped every man who entered
any Of the places and told him what the cap
tain hae directed them TO say. Some Of the
fnen laughed and without word walked into
fhe houses None went away, and all seemed to
be willing to take any risk.
In SOME instances the policemen asked the
snen what they intended TO do in the house they
egere entering. Sometimes they were politely
snformed that it was none Of their business but
usually they said they intended to see a friend,
or something like that.

Chronicle is confident that the
other payments will be promptly
met as they fall due. Work on
the court house is progressing

Last Sundays Lecture.

Abbreviated notes from last
lecture, delivered at the Fitzge-
raid opera house, Oct. 18th by
Earl Ward Peare.
Subject: FISHERS OF MEN,"
Long dry discourses called SER
mons have no use for. They
are not warranted by the scrip
lures; they are not exemplified
by Christ; they are not needed
nor asked for by humanity.
Christ spoke to uplift the COM
mon people. He drew his les
sons from nature and never once
delivered what we call sermon.
Christ is our model. In his
style He was as fresh as the
morning zephyr; as pure as the
snow-drop; as chase as the boar
frost.
In him we find perfect
preacher. All are fishers of men
for good or for evil. The ST.
preme object of the fisher of men
is the lives and the souls of men.
The small fisherman is as i'm
portant in his sphere as is the
great as is the great one in his.
God made the fish. We cannot
educate them all to be caught in
one way. Many are the devices
to be employed. Whatever the
scheme, let us bring home the
fish.
There are plenty of fish in the
sea and plenty of fishermen to
catch them.
Our lack of success is not due
so much to the persity of human
ity as to our insufficient and i'm
proper methods. We can lead
humanity better than drive the m.
We can win better with kindness
than severity. Why need then
be so many backslidings? Why
cannot we bring all the children
home at eventide. May we sue
coed in bringing all the lambs
into the fold.
