NOW A CAPTAIN.
w. II. Hodgins, of Topeka, Wins
Promotion.
Now a Trusted officer of New
YOrk's Police.
AN EXCELLENT RECORD
Cleaned Out the Notorious
Eastman Gang.
Held in High Esteem in New
York Police Circles.

Topeka has a representative among
the star police officers of New York
City. He is Captain w. H. Hodgins
and he is a brother of H. A, R. F. and
S: A. Hodgins of Topeka. Mr.. Hodgins
lived on farm on Blacksmith Creek
in Dover township but has been in
New York for about Is years. He has
earned his promotions by his record
and is now a captain.
The New York Daily News has the
following to say about him:
When it is said of a man, as it is the
custom so often to say, that "he is a
fighter" the natural inference is that
he has been through a whole lot of
! fights. But to be able to say this of d
man who has not only been through no
fights, but who carefully avoids quar-
reling, and believes victory may be
won by firmness and by moral suasion
more often than otherwise, is to
award a higher compliment still.
Fighting Bob Evans is a name IA
miliar to everybody, not in naval cir
cles alone, but outside naval circles as
sceptics who want often to know when
and how this undoubtedly popular
Bob, whom Grover Cleveland, in
office as well as out of office. took such
liking TO, acquired the reputation
Then there is Bill Hodgins, and, al
though he has never been called
Fighting Bill'' Hodgins, there is not a
man in Greater New York more ready
for the fray if the interests of the city
were imperilled. if riots were running,
if a great fire ragged; aye, even if the
rights of a simple citizen were invaded
POLICE CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE
Captain William Hammersley Hodg-
ms is not naval man, nor yet an Off
Ger of the line" But he is a police
commander, and for that reason his
ministrations come closer to the citi-
zens than would be the case in either
branch of the federal service men
toned.
When one comes to say anything or
write anything about a police captain
every citizen is interested; for there is
not a single city official, not even his
honor, the mayor, who can work so
much good or work so much evil as the
| commander of police precinct in the
city of New York. Captain Hodgins is
one of the youngest of those promoted
to that rank, but he is a veteran in his
knowledge of police affairs; and the
creditable examinations he passed. as
the different stages Of promotion came
his way, would make it a safe prophecy

REAL PEOPLEIN NOVELS.
Some of the Originals in 'The Vir-
ginian" Identified.

New York, Feb. 4-Prof E. E. SIos-
son of the University of Wyoming saw
the dramatization of THE Virginian"
at the Manhattan theater the other
night, and located some of the real peo-
pie.
Much of Wister's material" said
Prof. Slosson, comes from DR.. Amos
W. Barber of Cheyenne, formerly gov
ernor of Wyoming. and one of the best
story tellerS in a country where good
story tellers are rare. He appears in
several of Wister'S tales as DR.. Amery
w. Barker.
THE itinerant preacher who wrestled
all night with the Virginian when he
was in state of sin is easily recognize
able by any one familiar with WyOm-
ing life. All of the old settlers will tell
who the Virginian was. but the curious
thing about it is that they all point out
different men as the prototype of the
character. The fact is his adven-
lures once belonged to various men,
from Montana to southern California.

was foreman is Judge Torrey's, in the

Der. From there the location Of the

often for months thereafter, are rarely

A STATESMANLIKE COMMAND.
Captain Hodgins believes that c1t1-
zens have rights, and that policeman
has no more title to use violence or
break the law than has any other man;
He knows all about toughs, and al
about anarchists and persons of that
kind: but outside of this he imDresses
upon his men that there is no more
orderly or we'll behaved people in the
world than an average crowd of New
Workers.

 The bonds of Treasurer Northrop amounting to $4O,OOO and of Collector Hunt of $5O,OOO were read and ac- cepted. The Fidelity Insurance and Guarantee Go of Baltimore furnished the former and the Aetna Insurance Go of Hartford the latter. Mir Hunt said under the triple system of gov ernment the collectors bond was $15O,OO0. but since consolidation all the bond required of the collector was $50,00O, the same as before all came under one head.

SOLD TO MINOR.
Nichols Claimed to Be Over 2l and
 Was Furnished Drink.

There was no city court this morn- ing, there being but one case and that was settled out of court. That was a liquor case In which Matthew Watts, who keeps saloon at the corner of East Main and Brown streets was accused of selling to minor, and al- lowing minor to Ioiter on his prem ises. The cases were settled for $15 each. The minor was Carl Nichols who was before the court a few days Nicholas looks to be twenty-three, though he lacks only a short period of being twenfy-one. 1t seems he indulg- ed his taste for iquor before he went to Watts place for he seemed greatly surprised when Watts refused to sell him drink. For proof that he was of age Nicholas referred to a group of friends, young men, that were with him. Then Watts gave him what he ordered. Nichols was sober then and left Watts place sober. But he fin- ished drunk and when his father learned that he had obtained drink at Watts place he made complaint, and the customary warrant was is- sued by Prosecutor Pierce without any investigation. When, however, MT. Pierce ascertained all the facts and saw that Nichols looked. to be over age, he no1led the case for costs, $15 each.
 There is law which punishes mi nors who obtain drink under false pretences by a fine of from $1O to $2OO and there is every probability that Nichols will find himself fin court again.
