Ovea a million dollars was stolen
by pickpockets alone on State street
during the week preceding Christmas.

By some sort of special arrange
ment this sort of crime is not re-

are never punished.

vate secretary to Mayor Harrison
~G
The duties of this position were
very onerOus. They comprised five
important things, it is alleged:
First-To know one alderman from
another.
Second-To hand the Mayor his
mail
Third-To hand the Mayor copies
of the daily papers after censoring
them.
Fourth-To snub ordinary citizens
who want to see the mayor
Fifth-To draw his salary.
Now it is hard to convince the pub
lie that even a man who can perform
all of these arduous tasks is fitted by
that kind of experience for Chief of
Police.

Planned in Maryland.

Immediate steps for the actual es-
tablishment of the Cardinal Gibbons
Institute have now been made pos
sible by the funds contributed to the
board Of trustees Of the institution
by the colored Catholics of Washing
ton and vicinity, according to an
nouncement just made by that body.
Splendid results were realized from
the demonstration and field day ex-
ercises, held at Suburban Park last
week, when the sixtieth anniversary
of the first announcement issued by
President Lincoln of his plan of
freeing the slaves, was flttingly OBJ
served. All the standard amusement
features of. the pleasure park were
open and operating. Approximately
5000 persons were in attendance.
AT the exercises in commemoratfon
of the anniversary, held In the late
afternoon. Senator David 1. Walsh of
Massachusetts delivered the principal
address and said, In part:
Walsh Lauds Advance.
ut is a happy coincidence that this
day. which marks the sixtieth ami
versary of an announcement Of the
race. should also see the first steps
taken in the movement for the edu-
cational betterment of your fellow
citizens. That you were worthy of
the freedom granted you that day by
the President of the United States
has been amply proven by your con-
duct as free people and by the prog
ress which you have made. 1 can
say, without fear Of contradiction
that during the sixty years of your
freedom you have progressed in q
manner and to 4 degree unequaled
by any other race on earth"
Admiral Benson Present.
Referring to the institution which
is about to be erected In St Marys
county, Md. Senator Walsh added
This project received its first i'm
petus from that kindly apd sanity
old mans beloved by all, Catholic and
n-CaShelic white and colored, the
late James Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Of Baltimore Through LONG
years Of experience and association
he knew the loyalty. love and devo-
