Prenoher ana E1hortcr

There was an old darky preacher in
Virginia who would never become or
dained, but was content to remain just
an exhorter. This seemed rather
strange to some of his congregation.
and one day they asked him about it.
well. it's dis way" said he. When
you's a preacher, you's gotter have a
tex an stick right close TO it. but il
you's only a exhorfer you kin brunch.

POLICE COURT TRIALS.
Suggestions for Improvement Made by
Mr.. VIM F. Downey.

Mr.. William F. Downey, chairman of the
special works committee Of the St. Vincent
de Paul Society, has submitted to the Com
missioners number of suggestions for pro.
posed improvements in the Police Court
trials, the vesting of the pardoning pow.
and provision made for caring for Migrants
In the course Of his communication the
present methods are criticised quite severe
ly. Mr.. Downey recently was mentioned
by President Roosevelt as a type Of what
the true American citizen should be.
Mr.. Downey regrets that in the present
Police Court methods in the District there
is what he terms, lone law for the rich and
another for the poor" He says he consid-
ers it inadvisable and an injustice, when
two men are tried for similar offense, to
allow one to escape punishment because he
has the money with which to pay his fine,
and to make the other, II he is poor man,
lacking the means to pay his fine, take the
alternative, which may be a long term in
prison, and whose family are mads to
suffer by being deprived of their only means
OF support
Along this line Mr.. Downey says that he
approves of the appointment of magistrates
to preside at the trial of prisoners for triv-
tal onenses. at the various police stations,
and of jury trials for those who have COM
mitted graver offenses. He says that in the
case of sending poor man to prison for
trivial offense he believes the ends of JUS
tice would be better met by imposing a
sentence of about two days, and not by
sending him to prison or the workhouse for
several months, where he will probably be
thrown in contact with vicious criminals,
which would crush his self-respect and de-
moralize his better nature
Mr.. Downey Is in favor Of vesting the
pardoning power in the District Commits
sioners, as the legal guardians of District
citizens. He also comments upon the GUS
of limo ar,fS md oY,d
sending them to prison or the workhouse,
and states that proper provision is not made
to care for those who are so unfortunate as
to be out of funds or work.
Commissioner Mcfarland, in commenting
on Mr.. Downeys letter, says the matter of
reform Of the present system OF Police
Court trials does not rest with the board OF
District Commissioners, but that he Is
heartily in favor of the veSting of the power
to pardon in the District Commissioners,
and that they have already made a recon-
mendation to Congress to that effect.
Mr.. Downey Is evidently unaware, says
Commissioner Mcfarland, Of the purpose
of and work done by the municipal lodging
house, which Is located on 18th street, op-
posite the post Office. and of which Mr.. A.
place, he says. any one who is without
work or money and is not professional
tramp will be given lodging and food for
three days, or until work can be procured,
in which he Is assisted by the officials but
in return such person will be required to
saw or chop a reasonable amount OF wood.
This latter provision Is made, the Commits
sioner states, to keep from pauperfz1ng the
applicants.

Gray, president; Mrs. L. Lewis, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. H. Watson, secretary; Mr.. A.

ments were made to hold sessions each

Mr. Richard H Lewis and family are now

wastage, and unless the patronage is large
there is apt to be a deficit. The government
furnishes quarters free of cost and certain
amount of furniture, it furnishes fuel and
light and transportation and tents while on
the march 1t treats the temperance asso-
citation exactly as. it treats the institute.
or canteen, as we call It, and it usually
makes up deficits that are unavoidable. But
the officers of the association appeal for and
receive generous donations from private
sources, and at morning service on one Sum
day in the year a coliectionofor the benefit
of the association is taken UP in every
church of the Church OF England through
out India 1t has also received the pro-
ceeds of amateur entertainments, bazaars,
cricket matches and other affairs given by
it's members and their friends. Last year
the contribution of the government was only
lotto rupees, which is equivalent to about
So ,200 in our money, while the general ex-
penses covered by receipts from other
sources were in the neighborhood of $4,000
Mr.. Bateson, who is a very earnest man
and full Of enthusiasm about his work, ex-
pressed wish to do everything in his
power to encourage the temperance move
ment in the United States army, and If
such a movement were taken up here would
be glad to contribute his knowlede and ex-
perience.

ACCORDING TO LAW.
Commitment Of Mrs. Columbus to Hos
pital for Insane Discussed.

A letter Of complaint was received by the
District Commissioners yesterday following
the lunacy proceedings recently had in the
case of Mrs. Martha r. Columbus. She
was examined at the request of the mem.
bers of the executive board of the Hamline
Church. 1t is said, and the doctors pro-
nounced her insane. The proceedings were
had by authority of the act OF Congress of
this year. and Mrs. Columbus was sent to
the hospital where she remained eight
days. The proceedings were dropped last
Friday and her son, Archibald G. Columbus.
who lives at 1025 9th street northeast, took
charge of her.
Sanitary Officer Frank was called upon to
answer a letter of complaint written by
counsel for Mr.. Columbus. His report, sent
to the Commissioners late yesterday after
noon, states that everything that was done
in the case was in accordance with law. He
says the doctors alleged that Mrs. Column
bus is not able to care for herself and that
her son was permitted to take charge OF
her with the distinct understanding that
he would care for her.

Lighthouse Almost Completed.

The new lighthouse built at Point No

George w. Seward of Guilford, Conn, will
be ready to turn the new structure over to
the United States lighthouse authorities
early in the new year. The new light
warns vessel masters Of their proximity to
the long sand bar which at Point No Point
juts far out into the bay, and on which
many good vessel has been stranded. 1t

Built of Warship Material.

The new four-masted schooner Mary L.
Newhan, which was launched at a Bath
CMe.) shipyard last week, has the distinc-
ton of having been built of material orig
inally purchased for a man-of-war. Her
frame is of the best live oak. and was
bought by the United States in 1862 for a
warship, but before the vessel was built the
war ended and iron ships made their APP
pearance. The timber was sunk in the dock
at the Portsmouth On. H) navy yard, and
there 1t remained until about two years
ago. when the builders of the vessel Sc
cured it. The long Immersion In salt water
makes the wood particularly durable, and
the schooner has been given the unusual
rating of Al for fifteen years In conse-
Guence.

Big Trees Disappearing.

The woods along the banks Of the Poto-
mac in Maryland and Virginia are being
denuded of large trees to meet the demand
for railway ties and the paper mills. For
ties oak and chestnut are cut. and for the
paper manufacture poplar trees are felled
and shipped away in logs about ten feet
long. Within the past week three large
barges, the S. M. Provost Potomac and Ed
ward s. Fay, have left the Potomac with
big cargoes Of poplar wood aboard. The
Potomac goes to thesElkton (Md) paper
making plant, while the other barges Will
take their cargoes to- mills on the Della
ware river near Philadelphia.

Comparing these figures with those of the
preceding year it is found that there is an
advance of 671 in the total and 736 in the
issue of Cruikshank badges, given after six
months membership. which is the hardest
to win. If a man has kept the pledge tor
six months it is easy for him to keep 1t
year or five years. In addition to the
medals above mentioned special decorations
were conferred upon 416 members of the
association who kept their pledge inviolate
