FOR ACTING LIEUTENANT.
Police Sergeants Will Enter Competi-
tive Examination.

Many inquiries have been made by police
sergeants recently regarding the filling OF
the position of acting lieutenant made va
cant by the promotion of W. II. Mathews,
now in command of the fourth precinct.
The position is a desirable one for the rea-
son that it places a sergeant in line for
substantial promotion.
Major Sylvester has decided to hold
competitive examination for the position in
a few days. All the sergeants on the force
will have the privilege of taking the ex-
animation. although some of them may not
actually be eligible for the advanced grade
by reason of age or other conditions.
The promotion will not depend wholly
upon the result of the examination, as the
past record and the general fitness of the
man will be considered The examination
is to be held to give the applicants an OPP
portunity to show their general knowledge
of police affairs, and also to give the chief
of police and the commissioners an idea or
what they know about the manual.
They will also be called upon to tell what
they understand concerning the laws gov
erning the conduct of policemen, and to tell
what should be done under certain condi-
TONS 1t is the intention of Major Sylves-
ter TO conduct the examination on civil Serv-
ice lines. and. as already stated, will take
everything into consideration in making a
selection. The acting lieutenant performs
the duty of night inspector.

Trust Department..

The business of the Trust Department in the
management OF estates, trusts, etc, has, as shown
by the report, made most satisfactory advance,
and the number of wills filed, also, shows
gain previous years. a-.f r-aa.t .+
An examination into the methods of admins
tering estates and the unquestionabe safety,
protection and benefits secured to estates and
beneflciares will convince people of the great adj
vantage of the Trust Company as compared with
individuals. The responsibility of the company its
thorough knowledge and large experience in this
branch of business, its readiness to act promptly
every business day in the year when necessary
and the frequent Sickness unwillngness or incom-
potency of individuals to act are some of the strong
reasons why a trust company should be appointed.
Safe Deposit Department.
The number of safe deposit boxes rented is
1922. The revenue from this source in 1901,
S57o5.39; in 1902, $oo3445. Better results could
hardly have been expected from that department.

Killed by a Congressman.
Previous to the trial Of sickles, and
the trial of a Congressman from Cali
fornia named Herbert, who shot and
killed waiter during an alteration in
the dining room Of WIZARDS Hotel There
was 10 particular sensation surround
ing this event The only circumstance
that gave i tinge OF that character
was the fact that the defendant was
member of Congress. His plea in justj-
fcation OF the killing was seif-defense,
and on that ground he was acquitted.
Another case which was tried before
Judge WyIie had a sensational charac-
ter Impaired by the fact that the ac-
cused. John Surratt, was alleged to have
been a participant In the plot TO assas-
sinate President Lincoln. and that. after

trial by civil process. CouTts-martiaj

Surratt would probably not be living TO-
day. as he is. This man owed his dis
charge not TO the disagreement Of the
jury, as happened in his case, but TO the
discovery OF an old Maryland law Of
1883. under which this District was gov
eTned requiring an Indictment TO be pre-
sented within two years after the com
mission Of the onense. This, which was
dug up out OF the statute book by that

was referred to Judge WyIie by the Hon.

There was a sequel 10 this incident. of
which not many folks are cognizant.
Public feeling against the assassins of
the President had not abated, and the
trial Of surratt had again aroused it 10
