looked as If It had been broiled on both Bides. Such fine ooloring used to be attributed to the continual use of' "Cinnamon and ginger, nutmegs and cIovob," as tho old song baa It, but nowadays the sun has bear it all. 1 Here, it you like, is a protty state of things! Two members of the Ancient and Unapproachable. Order of Police Linemen to be hauled up before the commissioner on charges, just as if they had boen common, ovoryday policemen! Who would have thought that such a thing could have happenod? And yot it did happen, and It was regarded as a very proper mode of proceeding under tho circumstances. The linemen have always looked upon themsolves as a privileged class, and have been accustomed to do almost exactly as they pleased.

Anything In the way of a suggestion they might, perhaps, listen to but an order was only to be laughed at. In fact, orders' wore very scarce. It was something now whon Chief Operator Williams, who was In charge of tho office one day recently, told a couple of his supposod subordinates that1 certain lines wero out of repair and wore to be fixed at onco. No attention was paid to tbe order, nor was anything done whon it was Issued a second time. It was then that Mr.

Williams took the unprecedented step referred to and preferred a complaint. When the matter came to trial the delinquents wero let off with a reprimand and a warning which was straight enough not to be disregarded. It ts pretty sate to say that in future orders to linemen from headquarters will be executed on the jump. If any branch of tho service needed to be stirred up it was this one in particular. The work is not hard, and there are plenty of hands to do it.

There are many more anxious tor a chance to do It. The next to the last, if not the last chapter In the life ot the brown bear which Inspector McKelvey loft to Captain Eason when ho left tho Fourth precinct station house has been reached. The temper of the beast, as has been already related, grew worse every day and the men who had to feed him were afraid of their lives. Half a dozen of them were bitten and many more had important parts ot thoir clothing torn away. Last Monday poor bruin was cast out into the street, into the wide world, and left to shift tor himself.

He had acquired a fondness for beer but no one even thought of fitting him out with that requisite of all tramps, an old tomato can.

H. Btamn Mr. Woir has also some vory interesting stories to tell about that meteoric orator. Father Tom. and also about John Kolly, the dead and gono saohem of the Tammany tribe.

He remembers quite distinctly tho night when. Charles Stewurt Paruell and John Dillon spoke in the Aeailomy and bow astonished and disappomtod tbe people woro at tho entire abseno of what an Ameriaan audience understands as oratory in the delivery and manner of tho two famous Irishmen. As soon as thoy wero through thero wore loud calls for eoherl" "Beocheri" who had arrived while Mr. Parnell wos speaking. Mr.

Beechor responded to the call and his speech filled very nearly a column in the next day's "Eagle." It was the evont of the evening and without it tbe meeting would have been a very tame affair indeed. After the meeting adjourned Mrs. Parnell was introduced to and shook hands with a number of well known Brooklyn men, who afterward asked him many questions in regard to the numerical strength of'the different parties in the house of commons. Tho questions were so pertinent and close as to show that those who out them had a wide ondl accural knowledge of tho subject, and Mr. Parnell finally became impatient and exclaimed in a high pitched treble voice and with a vory marked cockney accent: "Aw, if I had known you.

gentlemen wore so well acquainted with the situation on the other side I aon't think I should have taken the trouble to come over Neither Mr. Parnell nor 3Ir. Dillon made a very favorable impresaion on thoso who gathered in the Academy of Muslo to hoar thorn speak and it wns Mr. Beecher who saved the meeting from being a failure. It is of such men and such women that Mr.

Weir can talk by tho hour, and occasionally he imitates Mr. Silas Wdgg and drops into poetry. Ono of his happiest efforts in that line was this impromptu Wordsworthian sentiment: Great men havo been among ns. Heads that thought, and hands that wrought. Not a few.

And when ho mentioned tho names of those who have passed In and out of tho Aoademy during the last thirty throe years, it has to bo admitted that he has stated a fact which no one in Brooklyn, or anywhere else, is in a position to successfully oontradicU WAYS OF THE BOOK AGENT.

Fpr the credit of the department, and especially' for the detective branch thoreof, the cornhalssloaer should not fall to make it hla special business to see that tho strongest light Is thrown on all tho circumstances connected, with Detective Zundt'B arrest of a man, who, while accused of serious crime on one' band, was at tho same time, to all Intents and purposes enjoying the fullest confidence of several other officers and was in a measure supposed to be aiding; them in their investigations. Detective Zundt was some time ago detailed to assist tho fire mar shall In his work, and after a while began think naturally, perhaps, that in all matters connected with the marshal's office he ought to." be allowed to go It alone.

He was Impatient, it is said, of what he considered to be any interference with his authority and, In consequence, more or less friction between him. and his former comrades resulted. There have been a good many fires of late in the outlying districts and, as some of these were undoubtedly of incendiary origin. Inspector MacKellar started an investigation of his own account, as he had a right In tact, was bound to do. Detectives van and Kelly were detailed on the case u.

to aid. them they secured the services of an outsider, a countryman of some of the people who, it waa supposecV, had been burning down their houses. That he might be protected In caeo of emergency, Intrusted him with a certificate of good character. Mr. Zundt learned that the outsider was making certain inquiries and.

as' soon as possible arrested him on a charge of representing himself as the fire marshal. Despite his certificates and protestations Xho unfortunate man was locked up. If Zundt acted in perfect good faith In the matter, thou he is to be commended. It he was moved by Jealousy to make an unjustifiable arrest, he should hear more of it. Deputy Commissioner Harmon is deeply Interested in tho case and, it It depends on him, the truth wll be brought out and before very long.

There has always been more or less childish bickering and potty envy in the detective department, and it it high time that a stop was put on such, foolishness. Several new sergeants are needed, but It is hardly likely that the voeanoiss will bo filled until after the "vacation season. ITortlfled by rest at the seashore or among the green fields ambitious candidates will be fitter to go through, a stiff examination in a month or so than they are just now. Nevertheless there are some who, hollering in tbe principle of taking time by tbe forelock, are beginning to lay pipe at this early date. One of these, the most pushing of the lot, no doubt made it hia.

business to call on Deputy Commissioner Harmon the other day and. In a confidential sort of way, gave him to understand that it there over was a policeman Intended by nature to be a sergeant he was that very person. He wanted to win on his merits, he said, and would sooner be left out in the cold than owe his rise to political Influence. "Bat just too show you," ho continued, "how I am looked upon by the taxpayers and solid men of the part of the city where I live, I have brought along a trtflo of a potition which rm been got recently, without my knowledge of course." At this point the caller stepped back a few paces and. producing a large roll of paper from under his coat, dexterously sent one! end of It twirling toward Mr.

Harmon, who was seated ten feet. away. The trifle of a petition Just bridged the distance betwen the two men and had as many names upon It as are to be found in on elite directory of the city. These names, said the bearer, represented $9,000,000 worth of property. He is evidently wanted and the millionaires are crying for him.

There have boen sore times lately for some of the court officers of the old moss back kind who, had got to look on themselves as fixtures anicWsafe in their places as Irremovable rectors. It must be hard on these ancient cbairwarmers to have to surrender their snaps at a moment's notice and get out the Hold and dig onoe again, as it wero. Still, they shquld not kick. They have hold' rjgldly to the dootrine that to the victors belong the spoils and how is a obanoe to show what kind of philosophers they A few of them, "moreover, wore in great dao gor o'f becoming unduly pufled op by pride of office and needed something in the shape of a chastening dose in tho worst tray.

He was developing an inclination to run the justice mill all by himself and it was a great mercy to bring him up with a turn before his mental ailment got beyond cure. Big head in Its most acute form had got him in its fell clutches and in a short time physicians might have worked on' him In vain. Patrolman Buckholtx, a son of the sergeant of that name, has after undergoing a severe examination in which there wero many competitors boen appointed to the responsible position of spocial guardian of the Manhattan Beach crossing.

is no extra emolument attached, to the duty, but it is coveted for the sake of the honor which goes along with it. There is nothing killing about it either, that 1b as far as the holder of the job is concerned, and this may, perhaps, be another reason why tho place never goes a begging. When court officers are made to step down and out and earn thoir living like ordinary patrolman, surely wardmon cannot hope to remain undisturbed. Theso are tho times when they aro here to day and gone to morrow, and whon keeping track of their location is a sorrow. Among others who have tjeen started on their travels is Detective Marks who is now engaged in looking after criminals In Fifth.

Ho spent many months In toe Fourteenth and was well liked there, but in this precinct, one of tho very quietest in the city, there was not enough to do for a man of his manifold acquirements. About all he' had to do was to sit or walk around and look wise. Tho commissioner said to himself, "Here, is a. man with talent buried in the ground right up to his neck. I will transplant him." Ho did so at once starting him off to the Fifth, where tho wicked rage occasionally and.

give all hands plenty to do. It used to be said of Marks that ho bad both eyes on a' captaincy. If this is still tho case he doesn't care to have much known about it for he Is lying very low.

It was thought that he felt his removal from headquarters very much, but in reality tho opposite was the case. "When he was there, there was nothing to do and nothing going on In any way.

There Is, it. should be remembered, nothing of tho Tenfels drockh spirit about Mr. Weir. It nevor occurred to him to speak of tho Aoademy of Music as being "simply a soction of in fininite space," as the famous profosBor of Weissnichtwo would undoubtedly have dono when In the full enjoyment of a mug of academic beer and a pipe of tobacco.

Mr. Woir novor experienced the geniality that ensues from the consumption of tumblers of gukguk and the smoking of tobacco, and in another rospeot, also, he differs from the sago of Woissniohtwo in being an eminently practical mau and not a dreamy, speculative philosopher. Ho has bean a familiar flguro in and aboat tbe aoadomy since that nlsht in the middle of January, 1801. when tho building waa opened and he remembers all the great mootings that have been held there and tho many famous men and women who have strutted their brief hoar on its stage during tho last thirty throe yoars. It is interesting to hoar Mr.

Weir talk of the time when theatrical performances wero tabooed, but, ns ho often remarks, "Wo have hail nil sorts of entertainments hero since that time." One of the earliest and most notable events in the history of the Academy was tho great sanitary fair. It was hold there in 1803 end very nearly half a million dollars was tnrnod over to the United States Sanitary commission. President Seth Low of Columbia colloge says it was at tho sanitary fair he had his first opportunity to show his patriotism. The future mayor of Brooklynand president of Columbia college served all through tbe fair behind one of the soda water fountains. He was wearing knickerbockers at tho time, but was brimful of zeal and patriotism, and has often that his arms nover ached before, and have never ached since, as they did daring tho war time, whon he was pumping soda water from an old fashioned apparatus for the benefit of the Sanitary commission.

Another notable evont of the great sanitary fair was tho mook marriage, at which the Bov. Theodore L. Cuyler officiated. Dr. Cny lbr's address to the bride is said to have been a real, old fashioned, praotical homily on the Important part buttons play in keeping tho domestic atmosphere in a state of placidity.

After Mr. Weir gets through talking about tho groat sanitary fair he almost Invariably asks, "Do yon remember the time tiio women suffragists hold an all day meeting hero?" "No," you Bay, you do not, and then ask Mr. Weir to tell about it. His account of that gathering is worth listening to. more especially his description of the wiud up in the evening.

It appears that the managers arranged for business meetings in the morning and afternoon, but in the evening there wos to bo oratory and music, rind the oldost and staidost men in Brooklyn wore porsuadod to allow their names to be published as vice presidents in the evening. They were also induced to attend and fill the front seats on the stage. It was a caso of solid men to front, and no mistako about it, because so much respectability and wealth ond moral worth has never since that night boen inclosed in the walls of the Academy. Everything went along all right for about thirty minutes. That is to say, thero were Borne resolutions read, and then followed a littlo music, both vpoal and instrumental, and then the fun began.

The cause of the fun oaino tripping down to the footlights from the back of the stage, wearing a blue satin gown. It was cnt quite low and from a'mass of oream colored lace there rose ststaesquo and snowy shoulders and. crowning all, a ehapoly head and a boautlfnl face. The men In tho audience wont wild with enthusiasm, and the women gave what has come to be known as a Chautauqua salnto. The possessor of those manifold attractions and tho cause of all the furor was Olivo Logan.

On reaching the foot light she turned first to the right and then to the loft in acknowledgment of the warmth of her reception. Then MiBs Logan opened the ball, bo to speak, by nodding and smiling in a confidential and reassuring manner at the gray headed representatives of Brooklyn's respectability and wealth and culture and morality. Her familiar and free and eaBy snlntotion to the old guard caused' a slight tittor to ripple through the crowded house, ond Miss Logan promptly checked it by a shake of the head. For a few seconds there was absolute silence. Everybody waa watching Miss Logan, who, with her left hand, raised the front of hor bine satin gown just high enough to give the audience a glimpse of a snow white frill and a pair of white kid slip, pers.

With her right hand she waved an ostrich feather tipped fan of gold and pearl with lazy ease and grace and looked around tho house. Then she altered her position ond smiled at the members of the Old guard on hor right and left as though they were intimate personal friends. Miss Logan then commenced hor speech, and for about five minutes the straightest and most conventional Philadelphia Quakeress could not have done bettor. Platitudes and common place remarks fell from her lips with the oose and glibness born of long practico and perfect self possession. It was the top notch of Sunday sohool oratory, and ufter convincing her hoarers that she was a perfect mistress of that art Miss Logan took in another reef of tho skirt of her blue satin gown and let the audience into the secret that sho was wearing open work stockings.

The men howled with delight and the women sputtered and giggled and blushed and were very evidently enjoying themselves. For the next twenty minutes Miss Logan tried to make her hearers understand that the wearing of bifurcated garments did not confer either wiBdom or authority, and made froqnent appeals to "you gentlemen" to confirm her statements. The "you gentlemen" wero the gray headed Brook lynitos who had boon beguiled into the front seats on tho stage, and every time Miss Logan turned and addressed them they blushed and fidgetted around on their chairs and looked over their shonldors for a way of escape. But they were wedged in and thero they sat like bo many snow crowned neonies. while 3,000 of their fellow citizens and citizonesses laughed until their sides achod and tho symphony in blue satin, during a moment of forgotfulniss, took in two more reefs of her skirt and mado an unusually earnost appeal to "you gentlemen" for support.

Old Brooklynitos had never passed through such a tryiug ordeul as that was and'for tho next month they went around assuring everybody that "By gad, sir, 111 never bo caught in such a trap again." Continuing his reminiscent remarks, Mr. Weir will mention a foot that very few people Rre awnroof. It is that Brooklyn owns a bronze and granite memorial of two of tho entertain moms that have been given In the Academy Tho memorial is tho John Howard Payne monument in Prospect park, that was, in part, paid for by two entertainments given in the Academy in Fobrnary, 187S, and on the twenty seventh day of Septombor tho monument will have attained its majority, because on Saturday, September 27. 1873, it was unvoiled and presented to the commissioners of Prospeot park. The presentation was mado by Mr.

Thomas Kin sella, president of the Faust club, and tho monument was accepted in behalf of the park commissioners by Mr. Jninos S. T. Stranahan. Many of the mon and women, through whose kindly and gratuitous efforts this enduring memorial was presented to tho pooplo of Brooklyn, havo long since passed to their reward, but their names will bo found in the following programmes of the two most notable performances ever given in tho Academy of Music.

W. A. Slover, Miss B. Mi Elder. The following is the list of eaiBstji 5 wmie away were queer and especially the one which prompted him to act as he did on the night of his return.

He gathered his sergeants, his detectives, his roundsmen and his patrolmen around blm, as many of each kind as could be got together and in a voice' flavored with a dash of emotion proceeded in all seriousness to compliment them on the manner in which they had conducted themselves during his absence. He did not tell them la so many words that they had been very good boys and for that reason he was proud ot them, but his remarks meant as much. The whole business was ludicrous in the extreme and many of those on hand had sense enough to see It in. that light. There is one reason why Captain Short or any other captain should thank his men under any circumstances for doing nothing more than their, plain duty'.

That is Just what they are paid for. That a commanding officer should take it on himself to congratulate bis subordinates on their good conduct during his absence argues a sort of proprietary interest in his precinct. If Captain Short will take the trouble to think the matter over he will see1 Just how he laid himself open to criticism. Too much fresh air must have turned him around, for ordinarily he is not given to what Is known as making breaks. Sergeant McCarthy, whom at one time It was customary to distinguish from all other McCarthys on the force by referring to when speaking of him as McCarthy of Bordeaux, on account of his having been born In that pleasant French town, enjoys his sojourn in the Twenty first very much.

He lived so long in the Second that it was thought bis very heart strings would snap should he ever be transferred, but the strings were made of stouter stuff. He left the Second with regrets, It is true, but he had hopes. He hoped to find pleasant surroundings and congenial company, and he has not been disappointed. He Is a great story teller, or raconteur, as he would be. called In his native language, and it is his delight to meet with an audience which can appreciate his tales of bid 'France.

Although almost grown to manhood when he came to this country there is but the slightest accent of his fatherland in his speech. Captain Rhodes of the Seventh bad a run in with a motorman as no came down town the other day and the motorman got the worst of the encounter. The prince of. the front platform was feeling pretty good and was letting his machine gc for all it was. worth.

Once in a while he would butt i truck, and again ho would see just how near he could come to catching a pedestrian unawares. Whenever he hail anything like a clear stretch of country he bounded along at something like a twelve mile gait, slamming his bell and yelling like a mania Captain Rhodes got up remonstrated with hlin and was promptly to'd to mind his own business. Then the captain explained that part of his business would be to take him of! the car then and thoro unless he obeyed orders, and the motorman concluded hs had better slow up, and did so. If the police in would exercise more supervision over hese orassy car drivers there would be fewer accidents. But perhaps they don't know how far as they may go in the matter and as rules and law are mixed up vttivs they cannot be blamed for not knowing.

There Is scarcely a more painful and disgusting sight than to see a policeman chewing gum. Lots of them have this habit, though, and indulge in it openly, without a particle of shame. There was a tall, flno looking patrolman stationed on some special: duty In. a street near the hall the other day and many passengers on the cars turned to look at blm a second time; he was suoh a fine figure of a man. If they had noticed at first that he had half an ounce of gum In his mouth, on which he was chewing vigorously, one look would have been enough.

PALL MALL GAZETTE. An Increasingly Rrilllant Number of Mr. An lor 'n monthly. Mr. William Waldorf Astor has certainly made a brilliant.

If not yet a profitable, magazine in his Pall Mall, which comes from the New York International News company. It has for August a long list of attractions, historic, poetic, esthetic and other. Mr. Astor himself, beside bis monthly department of the library, in which he both exalts and depresses Walt Whitman as a poet, according to his simplicity or his affectation, has also a tale of ancient Egypt. The Duke of Marlborough writes in excellent taste of his famous soldier ancestor and Duchess Sarah, his wife, adding many letters and foe similes of rare interest, and being reinforced by fine portraits and photogravures of Blenheim.

Lord Ronald Gower in a similar way gives reminiscences of the fifth earl of Carlisle; Lord Wolseley continues his "Fall of Napoleon," including Waterloo, and Lady Gwendo lin Cecil has a story of the sun's influence called "The Little Ray." Less distinguished personages contribute no less interesting things; Percy Reeve "The Revelations of a Shirt Cuff," a cuff which had done service as note book; Howard Pease "Mine Host the Cardinal," a graphic and well illustrated tale: Rudyard Kipling, one of his ringing and pictorial army ballads; Mrs. Beatrice Kipling, "The Little Pink House," a touching and excellently ilustrated story; Archibald Forbes sketches of famous war chargers, spoclally Wellington's Copenhagen; Bill Nye a funny burlesque of the monkey language study; Frank Stockton "Pomona's Travels," continued, and I. Zangwlll his always acceptable notos. There is beside much good and picturesquely illustrated verse by E. T.
