Serving The aIth.

In the early part of January the Rev.
Mr.. Gill. pastor Of the Rhode Island NJ
=. Church, received a call from the First
Methodist Protestant Church of Pitts
burg. After a long consideration and
although this church is the largest and
pays the largest salary of any of the
Nj ethodist Protestant churches Mr. Gill
who is SO much intere sted in his work
here. declined the cali.
This item of news filed a modest
position near the foot OF a column in
yesterdays Times It was probably
not seen by thousand persons, save
those who live in the neighborhood
to which that column was assigned.
Yet, il is worth much more than this
passing notice.
In the first place it evidences a fine
and reassuring regard for duty. It
was call from the largest congrega-
ton in the denomination. 1t carried
with it the largest salary paid
by the denomination. It repre-
scented the greatest distinction which
this clergyman can obtain from the
people OF his faith. But this tempta-
ton was not so strong as this man s
neFollOu 10 what he luouSHt MS uuly.
Had this preacher OF earnestness
and service accepted this call there
would have been a tide wave of nod
ding heads and Il told you SOS. .
Among the thoughtless it is a COM
mon arraignment usefulness wher-
ever they can get the largest salaries.
Here is one exception TO their rule;
and there is hardly a congregation
IN Washington which could not cite
another from its own records
It is significant, also, that this de-
cision was not exploited in tho news

The Washington Colony of the Ma

held its annual meeting for the election
OF officers. at the residence of Mrs Paul
Brockett, 1f17 Park street, on Saturday.
The constitution of the colony provides
that the pr sident and vice presidents

The meeting was called to order at $40
O'Clock with the president. Mrs. Marian
Longfellow O'Donoghue in the chair. An

Snow Law Justice. -

The latest manifestation of Police
Court Justice" in Washington will
not raise that institution in the eity's
confidence
A negress, a servant, was hailed
into court for violating the snow law
and fined So. 1t was shown In her
behalf that she had to rise at 5 O'Clock
IN order to be at her work. But the
judge, arguing that she should have
been up before in order to clear
her pavement, made her penalty as
severe as the law permitted.
Since then other arrests have been
made for the same offense-white
men with abundant means to pay
fines. abundant means to employ labor
to clear their pavaments, and abund-
ant time to do the work themselves
without rising at O'clock Are these
men sentenced to pay the maximum
fine? Not bit Of it. They deposit
collateral of 81 with some desk SER
geant, in some police station near
their homes, and hear nothing more
either OF the snow law or its pun
ishments
The Times thinks this is all wrong
II thinks the whole system of col
laterals, as it is now conducted is
wrong. By what right are desk SER
geants made magistrates? By what
authority of law are they allowed to
free supposed Indicators on the for
feiture of collateral less than half
the lowest fines imposed by the court !?
Does anyone think that this poor col
ored woman could have escaped GO
ing into court for So?
Under the District code it seems
the desk sergeant-whose pay is SIS
a months permitted to act for the
police lieutenant, and the lieutenant
is permitted TO receive collateral ofor
the appearance of the accused in
court, and the amount Of that coliat-
eral IS supposed to be determined ac-
cording TO schedule made out by
the Police Court judges. Well, how
does all this operate? It operates SO
that the police lieutenant never acts,
and the desk sergeant acts in nearly
every case; and the schedule is either
Iost--a diligent search of the Police
Court files last summer failed to re-
veal single copy-or it is preposter-
ously inadequate, CT it IS calmly dis
regarded; and the accused never has
any idea Of appearing in court.
What miserable perversion Of JUS
tice it is. Only the poor need answer
for trial. Only the poor need pay
heavy fines. And, in the end, only
the poor need observe the law.
The whole subject OF removing the
snow seems to be distorted. This
poor negress lived somewhere out Fif-
teeath street extended. in half street
or an alley-it does not seem clear
which. It would be interesting to
know why the removal of snow out
Ihere was such an important matter
before O'Clock in the morning, while
whole tracts of pavement all through
the more fashionable sections of the
city are immune. And if the authori-
ties desire specifications as to these
fashionable sections let them turn
their restless eyes on the vicinity Of
Thomas Circle. On lot near the cor
ner OF Eighteenth and F streets
which is the property OF a United
States Senator, and on numberless
tracts which are the property of the
Government, itself

The che ia business has had a good

game according to the prosecution, but
whom a jury acquitted in less than ten

All Lum was arrested as a result Of
information conveyed to the police
that he was in the lottery business. A
spy was employed to buy che ia tick
