of the manner alleged to be employed by
the police department in ordering the re-
moval Of signs, The writer thinks a writ
ten notice to parties interested should be
left by the police instead Of an officer being
permitted to act as officer. Judge and jury
in the matter, selecting his signs and order
ing their immediate removal. Major Syl-
vester referred the paper to Lieut.. Mathews
asking him to see the writer and inform
him of the action taken by the department
on a previous occasion, when the chief of
police took occasion to give proper warning
as to the manner of an officers conduct in
dealing with a citizen.
Lieut.. Mathews has reported that he saw
Mr.. Martin and transmitted to him the de-
sired information. He also called upon the
man who owned the sign about which Mr.
Martin wrote. This man ayerred that the
officer in question asked him kindly to re-
move the sign and did not threaten him
with arrest and trial in police court; or in
any way conduct himself other than an
officer and a gentleman.

The bicehtenary Of that old piquant gossip,
Samuel Pepys. to whom we are indebted
for much of the early history of ''Old
Rowley's' reign, is beginning to attract
notice. AS a matter Of fact, Pepys died in
May. but little anticipation does no one
harm, least of all him. The famous diary,
every one knows, contains many references
to the music Of Pepys time, and Sir Fred
erick Bridge the organist Of Westminster
Abbey, has for long made the musical relics
Of the time study Of research. The re-
suit he partly gave at the Royal Institution
yesterday, and an audience which might
have been larger had quaint entertainment
In listening to the music which pleased or
dlspleased the seventeenth century twaddler
SO much. One wonders what the admiralty
will do, when the bicentenary really comes,
for. despite his character. Pepys was one
OF the greatest naval administrators known
to Whitehall. even though De Ruyter was
allowed to sail up the Thames and burn
English ships at Chatham. while, a chron-
icler says. the merry monarch was making
merry In his harem. L. H. MOORE.

River Back. to vicksburg.
the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Pfcayune.
The proclivity of the Mississippi river to
make erratic departures from its bed and
select a new one Is more or less well
known. At one time vicksburg was on the
shores. but the stream suddenly shifted.
about twenty-five years ago, and left the
city far away. greatly to the inconvenience
OF the merchants and others who depended
on the river traffic. For several years past
the United States government has been at
work digging a canal which will bring tho
river back to vicksburg and make 1t once
more an important port. This work Is app
preaching completion, and its consummA-
ton will again enable the river boats to
land in front OF the city - OF old.
