East Indian English.

Here Is part OF an actual speech de
llyered In an East Indian court Of Law
by a pleader: what they say Is very
II o most, ridlculously absurd to be
lleve. Indeed, II Is incredulous. They
say that the blood flew, and they did
nothing to put the wounded into ease
This, sir. is a lie, an unmltigated lie
or, rather, a falsehood or fable or story
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, q
terminal exactltude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is nj actually even proper grazing
meadow. The destination which they
started was half a mile from the
cynosure to which they went. Unless
they did not ride on lightning horses,
how could they reach to that premises
In five minutes? Can any man-idiot
even-will not believe such a stupid
concoctation."

MORE POLICEMEN.
MACE ARLAND'S WISH
Will Use SyIVester'S State
ment as Argument to
Congress.

In commenting upon the report Of
Major Sylvester, superintendent OF
police, on the number of holdups in the
District since September %. Commis-
sioner Macfarland said yesterday that
he considered the statements made
therein as an excellent argument to be
presented by the Commissioners to Con-
gress IA advocacy of the MAJORS recon-
mendation that 40 additional men be
ADDED to the police force.
This was strongly urgei by Major
sylvester IN his annual report. in which
he dWeils at length on The necessity
for more adequate police protection.
on July l. 1907. the authorized police
force OF the District was 73l men. bat
there were twelve vacancies on that
date, so that the number Of men was
reduced 10 719. This includes one super
intendent, one assistant, three inspec-
tors, ton captains, twelve neutenauts,
forty-five sergeants. and 6f7 privates.

described. Is attributed by Major Syl-
