OF INTEREST TO THE PEOPLE.

There will doubtless be plenty of
important city business TO be trans
acted by the Board of Aldermen to-
night, but nothing tho city fathers
can do will arouse more public interest
thhn thor action on the police mp
pointments and the recommendation
oil the Board of Estimate regarding
the now public school.
The addition to tho police depart
ment has been hanging fro now for n
long time. The force, already too
small, was made one less by the death
of Michael Burke. This vacancy has
never been filled. 1t is freely admitted
that two additional men should be
appointed. The welfare of the city
demands it, why is it held up?
The condition of affairs in this city
on the night of Decoration Day was
disgraceful. 1t is admitted by the
police authorities that the shower
that evening was the only thing that
saved the department.. Whom every
body in tho city had turned out to
celebrate the day and with thousands
of visitors passing through tho city to
tho nearby resorts, tho streets crowded
and the saloons doing q typical holt
day business, there were just four
patrolmon on duty with II sergeant
Mt police headquarters. Four patrol
men and n sergeant to keep order N n
crowd of fully 50, 600, all out to cello
brate q holiday. Without eXaggerntion
the telephone at police headquarters
was ringing at intervals of five
minutes each, sometimes oftener.
The sergeant who answered tho phone
had continually in his ear, "Plense
send n policeman hore." "Where is
that policeman l asked for? We need
him quick" "Wo want n policeman,
there is a fight on.
Instead of having q reserve of throe
or four men with n patrol wagon and
a horse, the sergeant had just four
mon on the streets somewhere. They
had their hands full without answer
ing any telephone calls and tho only
thing that could be done was to let
tho fighters fight. Allow disorder all
over the city to continue. Doubtless
those people who scnlled for n police
man and got none, condemned the
police force. Their condemnation was
misplaced. The Fourth of July Is ap-

When our people all get settled
down l will endeavor to tell you
where they have gone.
1t was our pleasure to go over, in
company with Prof. w. K. Sigh,
and worship with the good people
of Bethlehem church on last Sun
day. 1t has just been twenty-ninc
years, a week previous TO this dav
since l. bad been TO Bethlehem
church. There have been many
ups and downs, and changes Of
various descriptions since then, but
still the old oaks looked familiar.
The old church, which contained
a large gallery, has been torn down,
and Il more Commodious building
takes its place. The graveyard
then was quite small, and was not
half filled with graves, but nov it
is as large again as it was then, and
is filled from one side TO the other
with tombstones bearing the in
scri ptions Of many Of those blessed
old people who worshippcd there
twenty.nine years ago.
Our Lutheran preachers are a
very liberal set Of people, especial
ly with each other. The pastor,
Rev. !. Long, called upon Prof.
Soligh to fill his pulpit, which he
did, preaching one of his usual good
sermons. Beyond a shadow Of
doubt, Prof. Sligh is one Of our
ablest and most learned ministers.
He will cope with any other min
lister in our United Synod. and
what makes h;s sc.mons more VAL
liable, he is doing good Tor the sake
of good and not for the sake Of
popularity and selfish gain.
After preaching was over, we
went over to the parsonage with
our freind, the ltev Mr.. Long, and
took dinner with the latter and his
kind wife, md spent few hours
pleasantly with them.
s pastorate has beautiful
mage --evcrything is very con-
atty arranged, which shows
nd unity between pastor and
\ e. Everything shows the
h work Of the Bethlehem pas.
