BEFORE COMMISSIONER FRENCH.
HIS FOUR CHARGES.
Tancredi is in the black books. There were four
.charges against him, and neither was very credit*
able to him. The first was failing to discover that
the side Light of a show window was broken and a
stack of umbrellas taken from the window, and a
H>rt of improvised shepherd’s crook, with which the
rgoods were fished out, was left at the door by the
thief. This hook, or crook, was produced in court,
and was of very rude make—a crooked wire tied to
a cane, and the other instruments of burglary was
.a brick picked up in the street.
CHARGE NO ONE.
Cap-tain Brogan said, Mr. H-ousel-y came to the
station-house and made complaint about this show
window being broken and twelve umbrellas being
stolen. This was on the 18th. He went up and
found this light of glass broken, ten inches wide,
and saw that the thieves had put a cane with a wire
through the window and wired out the umbrellas.
In doing this, hats were knocked down and the
window was in disorder. This the officer ought to
have seen, as the place was lighted, and it must
have taken half an hour to complete the job.
Charles H. Housely, No. 88 Sixth avenue, said ho
£Ot to the store at a quarter past seven. Tho side
windows was protected by an iron screen. It was
broken at the bottom. A lady living on the floor
above heard a crash below at three o’clock.
Defendant said there was a light in the back part
Of the store. At twenty minutes to six he tried the
door and looked at the window, and all was right.
"Captain, do you regard him as an efficient offi
cer?" asked the Commissioner.
"No, sir,” was the reply.
"His record shows that: Off post in liquor
c tores.”
CHARGE NO. TWO.
The same tour, 18th, Tancredi was found in the
basement of a bakery in Carmine street at 5 A. M.
He said he was taken short; couldn't seo his side
partner to cover his post.
Roundsman Hickey said he struck the officer’s
post at West Third street: went to Carmine, then
to Waverley place, and did not seo the officer. He
•aw no other place that he could go in but the bake
shop. He waited some time and saw Tancredi in
the bake shop.
CHARGE NO. THREE.
He couldn’t bo found by the roundsman from
4;40 to SA. M. This was hardly fair, to make an
other charge, as it was embraced in tho previous
one.
"What do you know of this officer ?” asked the
Commissioner. .
•• He is a very careless officer.’*
"You have been forced to make several charges
against him ?”
" Yes, sir.”
CHARGE NO. .FOUR.
In the Mortimer House, February 10, was the
charge preferred by Roundsman Flannery. At 4:45
he saw the officer standing off bis post. lie then
went back on it, then went in the hotel and re
mained some time, and when he came out he said
he had been in the waler closet.
" What are hie habits ?”
•• Careless,” was the reply of the roundsman.
•• Carelessness is a very mild term.” said the
Commissioner. •• You have had no idea of your
duties of a police officer since on the force.”
GOT ANGRY WITH HIMSELF.
Absent thirteen hours without leave was the
Charge against Flaherty, of the Twenty-first.
•• What have you to say to that ?’*
•• I plead guilty.”
•• Is that your excuse ?”
•• It was my day off, and I went homo and went
to sleep and did not wake up till 10 o’clock.”
•• And you lay down and slept eight hours lon
ger ?’*
•• No. I felt angry with myself and did not go to
the station house.”
WHEN WAS THE ROBBERY.
Becker and Bollan, of the Twentieth Precinct,
failed to discover that a burglary had been commit
ted on the clothing store, No. 507 Eighth avenue.
The window was broken and four suits of clothing
stolen. Bollan said ho tried the door at five min
utes to twelve, and nothing had occurred. Becker
•aid it was not burglarized at twenty minutes to
•lx. The contrary couldn’t be proven.
SOME BARROOM SCOTCHMAN INTERESTED.
James, of the Seventeenth Precinct, was found in
the storm door of the liquor saloon, Fourteenth
•treet and Avenue B.
He said the proprietor had complained to him of
* citizen that camo in and annoyed him. He was
complaining of the man at the time wanting to lick
a Scotchman.
" I saw the officer three or font minutes before
that on the sidewalk,” said Roundsman O’Rourke.
"The officer and the citizen went in the storm
door. The citizen went in and closed the door. I
waited two or three minutes, and when he came
out he denied being in the storm-door.”
"Did he say anything about the proprietor ?”
"Yes, sir; the proprietor was making complaint
of a person annoying him. But ho was in my sight
all the time.”
" What do you know about this man being anx
cus to lick a Scotchman that frequents the place?”
asked the Commissioner.
•• He told me,” said James.
•• Was the Scotchman there ?”
••No.”
•• Was the mau there that was going to whip the
Scotchman ?’*
"He had gone out.”
" If he had gone out, what did he want of you in
there ?’ f
•• He called me in to tell me about it.
"How do you know he wanted to make com- i
plaint, if the man inside was gone and you were
cutside ?” i
••He made complaint before.”
A CAUTIOUS CITIZEN.
Mulligan, of the Seventh Precinct, who failed to ,
be on hi« relieving point, said a citizen told him he (
would find a man lying helpless on the sidewalk at ,
Willet and Rivingtou streets. He went there, and ,
found stains of blood on the sidewalk and the man ,
gone. Returning to his relieving point, he met his
relief and did not go to the relieving point.
The citizen who took Mulligan off his relieving (
point was Asked wiij’ £.9 didn/J go ar l d th* ,
man when he saw him fall. He said the man was a
stranger to him and under the influence of liquor. .
If he had gone over, the drunken man might have
accused him of robbery. This was at midnight; he
had no one to disprove the charge, and he didn’t
care to be locked up. In such cases he thought it
prudent to walk on until ho met an officer, as he
did in this case.
I TRUTHFULNESS SAVES HIM.
Elmer, of the Twenty-eighth Precinct, was found
in a lager beer saloon in Seventy-first street. The
roundsman had gone over the post and had been
looking for him twenty minutes. He thought he
would look in there lor him. He did, and found
him. The officer said he went in to get a glass of
cider.
Elmer said he was in there probably three min
utes.
How long on the force?” asked the Commission
er.
•• A little over two years.”
•• This is the second time, while in uniform, you
have been found in a liquor saloon. The only thing
that keeps you on the force is truthfulness.
DEMANDED A QUARTER.
Doyle was absent from his post at Seventy-eighth
•treet and the Boulevard.
He admitted the charge, but, under the circum
stances, he claimed that he was justified. A gen
tleman came through Seventy-eighth street, and,
meeting him on the Boulevard, told him he met a
tramp who demanded a quarter of him; he gave it,
aud the tramp went on.
" Demanded a quarter?”
•• Yes, sir; and got away. I went up to search a
house I thought he was in.”
The roundsman said, while patroling, he saw the
officer and a gentleman walking leisurely along.
When he saw him, he turned and the two walked
into this house, one of six vacant houses. He said
he went in to look for this tramp.
••What would you have done with this man if
yon had got him?” asked the Commissioner.
•• Arrest him,” replied Doyle.
"You had better stay on post than go after a man
that asks for the loan of a quarter,”
THE GENTLEMAN’S TOILET.
The roundsman said he found Clark in the Occi
dental Hotel, in the Bowery. He saw him enter the
hotel and waited some time for him—twenty min
utes—and failing to come out, he told the porter to
fetch him. The officer said he felt sick. The bar
was not open at that time in the morning.
The charge was admitted correct—he was in the
water-closet. He hadn’t time to wait to have his
post covered.
THE GENTLEMAN’S TOILET.
Cortis failed to patrol his post from 3:15 to 3:45.
His post was Prince street, from Broadway to the
Kowery. When asked by the roundsman where he
had been, he said looking for the sexton of St. Pat
rick’s church. It was Sunday morning.
Cortis said the charge was trite, he was in the
water-closet of the church fifteen minutes, was
fifteen minutes looking for the sexton, to get in,
and the roundsman was fifteen minutes looking for
him after he came on post.
Clark, who couldn’t be found on the Ninth ave
nue, said he had to go to an out-house in a yard.
••How long there ?” asked the Commissioner.
" Twenty minutes ?”
"I think you would freeze,” was the comment.
Kernan had the same excuse for being ten min
utes in an open lumber yard, where the wind
whisked under him at the rate of sixty miles an
hour.
Farley, of the Nineteenth, similarly affected, was
in the water-closet of a barber shop.
McCarthy was off post in a tailor shop. The
roundsman saw him come out. He said he was to
the water-closet.
The Commissioner said some radical means would
have to be taken to abate this terrible disease
which possessed nine-tenths of the police force.
SEEN AND UNSEEN.
Rothschild couldn't be found for an hour by
Roundsman Farley, between seven and eight P. M.

‘Citizen Cohen -said he saw the officer three times
that night—six, seven and eight. But between
those hours he did not see him, on Washington’s
birth-night. The Commissioner said he guessed
where he was.
A HARD MAN TO FIND.
f Hardman, of the Sixteenth Precinct, had a straight
I post on Eighth avenuo, from Fourteenth to Twenty
. first street, and couldn't be found from 3to 5:50.
He said it was the first time he had the post, and
' did not understand it. He thought it was from
I Fourteenth to Twenty-third street.
I Roundsman dark said ho was on the post two
hours. When he turned the last time, at the end
' of the post, he met Hardman. Where he came from
i he couldn’t say.
: "How long a policeman ?”
"Two years.”
A MISTAKE.
Jacket, of the Sixteenth Precinct, had Fourteenth
street, from Tenth avenue to Seventh. Roundsman
Dark said he couldn’t find him. Jackel said he had
two posts that night—Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets. The roundsman said lie had but one. The
officer said he had been assigned to two streets that
night. The case was adjourned, to find if Jackel
was speaking the truth.
BEAT HIS ROUNDSMAN.
Carey, of the Fourteenth Precinct, could n’t be found
from 5 to 5:35. Carey denied being off post, and
charged the roundsman with timing him when he
was not on his post, which was Mott street, from
Spring to Hester street.
The roundsman said ho went over the officer’s
post three times. He struck it at five o’clock, and
lo.und him at the corner of Hester street at 5:35.
Carey had a host of witnesses.
•• Who are ail these witnesses, what are you going
to prove ?” asked the Commissioner.
•• That he was not on my post at the time he
states.” Then he addressed himself to the rounds
man.
•• When you met mo did you ask If I had been
attending to a burglary ?”
"No.”
•• Did you ask who was with me?”
" Yes.”
•• Did I tell you there was nobody ?”
" Yes.”
•‘ Then you asked who was standing with me?”
" Yes, sir.”
"And while standing with you, there was nobody
there ?”
•• Yes, sir.”
•• Wasn’t I trying the doors ?”
" No.”
" I told you I heard a rap, but so faint I couldn’t
place it, and ran to Grand street and saw nothing,
and came back ?”
" No.”
•• Where were you at a quarter to five ?’*
•• Bester and Elizabeth streets.”
•• How long did you stay on the Bowery with
Officer Foley ?’*
•• Five or six minutes.”
•• Where did you go ?”
•• Back on post.”
" You did not go up Elizabeth street ?”
••.No.”
" Or Grand street ?”
••No.”
Carey proved by a number of witnesses that
Roundsman Cahill couldn’t have been on - the post
at the time he specified, and the complaint was dis
missed on the spot.
DETECTIVES DOYLE AND LEWIS.
The case of those two officers was heard by the
President, and from his remarks at the conclusion
of it they are likely to be dismissed from the De
partment. Should that happen, they are likely to
be indicted, and if tried they will have to pay their
counsel themselves. While on the force the Com-,
missioners iuruish counsel to defend the men, aud
all trials of policemen must be before a jury.
Saturday night, Feb. 20, John M. McCullough and
Peter White, strangers irom Boston, were in a Third
avenuo saloon. The two policemen, in citizen’s
clothes, entered the saloon and had drinks. A pig s
foot accidentally dropped on Doyle’s foot, who drew
a slung shot and hit McCullough, who hit back.
Lewis then shot McCullough and arrested White,
who had helped his friend. White was arrested and
McCullough was taken to Bellevue Hospital.
THE CASE IN A POLICE COURT.
On Thursday the case came up for hearing !n the
Essex Market Court. McCullough and White had
been held to answer on the charge of assaulting the
officers. Judge Power, after reading the testimony,
addressing the accused, told them they were dis
charged, and ordered them to step down and make
a complaint against the officers. The charge was
felony, the one for using a slung-shot, and the other
for shooting, with felonious intent. After the
complaint was taken, the Justice said he would
hold them in SSOO each to answer. They demanded
an examination, their right, which was set down
for Saturdey morning.
President Harper’s Company.
THE HISTORY OF THE MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION.
Five years ago a young insurance company
launched forth on the troubled sea of busines life
to either sink or proudly ride over tho stormy
waters. It had to compete with other staunch
ships of tho insurance craft. Its helmsman keenly ,
realized the responsibility imposed upon him. He
felt that he had to steor clear of all hidden shoals, j
and to bear away from many dangerous reels ,
npon which many of the fleet had hitherto hope- ■
lessly foundered. That the young vessel was sea- i
worthy (beyonfl peradvonture, and that tho helms- i
man possessed & sieacly hand and cool, unerring j
judgment, is demonstrated by the unparalleled sue- j
cess which has befallen the Mutual Reserve Fund (
Life Association under the management of its j
president, Mr. E. B. Harper. The annals of life <
insurance will disclose nothi-ng so startling as the j
wondrous growth which the Mutual Reserve has ]
attained in only one short hvlf decade of exist- j
ence. It started on a firm bas s of new ideas.
Opposed to it were some of the strongest financial <
corporations in the world, constructed npon the (
foundation stones of prejudice and conservatism. <
For years the "old line” or "level premium” (
companies had been loftily rearing their gorgeous j
palaces of eastern magnificence out of the earnings <
or poor policy-holders. President Harper, with the <
peculiar sagacity which is characteristic of him, ;
looking far into the future, saw the times were ripe i
for a change. He caught the tide at its flood, aud i
carried the Mutual Reserve Association into (
the harbor of success. r
For a long time he had to contend against an- ,
cient prejudice and monopoly’s millions. The fight
is not over yet, but the victory is practically won. j
To-day President Harper's company is an acknowl- i
edged and respected rival of the oldest insurance i
companies in the universe. President Harper has f
done much to eliminate the bitter hatred which |
existed between the " old line'* and " assessment*’
companies and to kindle a kindlier feeling. By his »
careful management he ha« ~ f^ mo t
the falsity of the did and unfounded aversion to i
new methods, but has shown beyond a shadow of a j
doubt that under skilful executive management a c
rival has b6en reared which to-day commands
the highest respect of its opponents, and 4
proudly pointing to the Mutual Reserve Associa- ]
tion, be shows that its books for the past year re- <
cord the largest insurance business ever done in j
this country. ?
The record of the Mutual Reserve for the last five ]
years, since President Harper became the head of j
the company, has just been published. Its growth j
bas been remarkable. To-day it stands first on the j
list in the point of volume of business transacted j
and absolute soundness of its foundation.
No one recognizes the position of the Mutual Re- ]
serve Association better than ex-insurance commis- i
sioner of this state, Mr. John A. McCall, who lately ]
resigned his office to become comptroller of the ]
Equitable Company. No one is so able to judge of <
the merits of an insurance company as Mr. McCall, «
aud a word from him speaks volumes. He had ]
scarcely arrived in this city from Albany when he <
made a personal visit to President Harper. He as- (
sured President Harper of his highest respect aud
congratulated him upon the marvellous attain- j
men is of the Mutual Reserve Association under his ]
management. He deplored the bad feeling of bit- f
terness which has so long existed between the dif. (
ferent companies, and assured him of the friendly
feeling manifested by the Equitable toward its '
younger competitor, jtn his interview with Presi
dent Harper, Mr. M<all said that he recognized |
the fact fully that each performs its proper mission, j
although in distinct ways, and he hoped that in the j
future both would work in perfect harmony. Presi- (
dent Harper says that he considers Mr. McCall’s
coming to New York to be a great factor in harmon- j
izing and cementing the two systems, and, instead (
of being antagonistic, these two great beneficiary
organizations will in the future worx harmoniously.
That each of these great corporations which stands
at the head of its respective system, has done in the
last year more business than was ever transacted by ■
an insurance company in tho country before is
clearly demonstrated. The Mutual Reserve Asso- ,
ciation stands at the head of the list in the volume
of business accomplished, and its rival comes sec
ond as regards new business secured in this coun- '
tr y- . . _ J- ’ -
Tile Mutual Reserve Fund Lite Association is an
economical company. During the five years of
President Harper’s remarkable administration,
more than $1,500,000 bas been saved for members
in reduced mortality, as compared with the standard
rates ot mortality, making a saving of $300,000
per year on mortality alone. The collections for
mortality during these fivd years have been only
$1,750,000, while the standard rates call for double
that amount. This showing is remarkable, and ev
idences the economy of the business methods of
the company and the great advantages which are
afforded to the insured. Not a detail is forgotten
by President Harper to guarantee to its policy
holders every possible protection. Every depart
ment has a chief and distinct bead under the presi
dent, who is thoroughly informed regarding the
business of his department, and it is an astonish
ing fact never before presented that in collect
ing over $2,000,000 of mortuary calls the Mutual
Reserve has never lost a single dollar, so complete
is its system, although the amounts paid average
only $5 at a time.
Viewed in any aspect, tho Mutual Reserve Fund
Association manifests its wonderful increase of
membership, and shows its sterling advantages to
its members. There is no insurance society in tnis
country which can show an equal increase, and the
figures presented by the Mutual Reserve are be
yond comparison. In the last half decade 41,000
memberships have been taken, 14,500 of which were
admitted in 1885.

J THE EVENT OF THE SEASON.
In so far as G. A. R. circles are concerned, the
> social event of tho season will undoubtedly be the
[ entertainment and reception at Irving Hall to mor
, row evening in honor of Department Commander
H. Clay Hall. The honoris well deserved and has
been worthily won by faithful service. That it will
result in a glorious ovation no one need doubt.
The object of the entertainment appeals to every
old soldier, but in addition to this the programme
i is one which will meet with the hearty indorse
i went and practical approval of every lover of good
I music. The army of artists is unequaled in the
i annals of similar occasions, The list comprises the
j Oriole. Mandolin, and Courtney Ladies' Quartettes,
t Miss Henriette Markstein, Mrs. Edna Day, Miss
I Rosa Ricca, Messrs. William Courtney, Ivan Mo
rawski, Carl Langer, and Frank Lincoln, Comrade
Harry P. Keiley, Signors Liberati and Lipaldi.
Prof. W. W. Keenan will be the musical conductor.
The orchestra will be composed of members of
Musicians' Post, 452, under the leadership of Cora
' mander John M. Beck, and a flute and drum corps
composed of Sons of Veterans will give an example
of their style of harmony. During the evening the
Oriole Quartette will sing "Beyond the Banks ol
Old Potomac,” composed expressly for tho occasion
by Comrade L. N. Salmon.
A last meeting of the Committee of Arrangements
will be hold at No. 73 Ludlow street, at throe o’clock
this afternoon. Commanders of posts are urgently
requested to bring or send in their final returns for
tickets sold and money received.
A GOOD RECORD.
In the last edition of the Camp Fire, edited by De
partment Chaplain Allen, there is a sketch of the
military history of General Nicholas W. Day, taken
from the Brooklyn Union, which is given at con
siderable length. It is a record of which any old
soldier might well be proud. Under the first call of
President Lincoln, in 1861, Comrade Day went to
the front as Q. M. Sergeant of the Seventy-first
Regiment. N. G. S. N. Y. After the expiration ot his
three months term he returned home, and recruited
a company of the Ninety-sixth N. Y. Volunteers, be
coming its captain. Soon after he was detailed
upon the staff of General Keyes, commanding the
Fourth Army Corps, serving through the Peninsular
campaign. He was promoted to Major, and as
signed to the 131st N. Y. Volunteers (First Metro
politan), and soon became its Colonel. Ho was bre
vetted a brigadier-general for conspicuous gallantry
at the battle of Winchester, in the Shenandoah Vai
ley*campaign, under General Sheridan, and "Little
3Phil” earnestly recommended his promotion to the
full rauk. The article truly says that General Day
is " an active worker in the G. A. R., and has always
been found faithful to every trust and worthy of
every confidence.”
The same paper also contains a sketch of the
career of Comrade George H. Treadwell, of Albany,
copied from the Albany Evening Journal. It is hardly
necessary to state that both Comrades Day and
Treadwell are prominently mentioned lor the posi
tion of Department Commander for the ensuing
year.
GILSA POST’S BALL.
The ball of Gilsa Post, which came off at tho Teu
tonia Assembly Rooms on the 22d ult., was another
of the grand successes of the season. It was largely
attended, and nothing occurred to cast-the slightest
shadow upon the jollity,, that marked the event.
Among the comrades present were Generals Day,
Sigel and Krzyzanowki; A, Q. M. Gen. Cavendy; Col.
Anton Meyer; Commanders Beck and Alting; S. V.
C. Lcchtenke-r; J. V. C. J. P. Heintz; Adjutant
Christian Heintz; Henry Guenther, Alois Grau,
George Kline, Louis Schmidt, P. S. Biglin, C. F.
Morgenweck, Alexander Mueller, John Unger, Hen
ry Oeser, Thomas 8. Harris, Henry Link and Louis
Hess. None of the boys who " took in ” Gilsa last
entertainment will miss the next one, if they are
alive, and they seemed to be pretty good "stayers.”
THE FIRE LADDIES.
Everybody who was present at the ball of the
Veteran Association of the Second Fire Zouaves, at
Irving Hall, on tho evening of the 25th ult., de
clared it to be one of the most pleasurable enter
tainments which he or she ever attended. The
weather was stormy and so the hall was only com
fortably filled, but tfadhe were pretty girls in abun
dance, and an excellent orchestra under the leader
ship of Carl Lauzer. The hall was handsomely
adorned with battle flags, guidons and shields.
Dancing was kept up until it was time, at least, tor
tho min to begin his daily business. The absence,
through sickness,of Comrade Matt McCullough, was
universally regretted. Financially,th eaffair was not
what it was hoped to be, only a small amount ac
cruing to the benefit fund. Comrades Patrick
Smith, W. J. Barry, Fred Schaler, Jarnos Ovens,
Thomas McCullough, C. W. Wilson, John Benson,
H. A. Kraus, John Ross, J. A. Kent, J. J. Ware, and
Wm. Tobin were among those present.
MUSTER OF HANCOCK PGST.
The expectations that had been formed concern
ing the muster and installation of Gen. Winfield 8. !
Hancock Post prior to its occurrence on Monday,
March Ist, were destined to result in both gratifi
cation and disappointment. The weather was very
unpleasant, but, despite this, several hundred com- ,
rades assembled in the Twelfth Regiment Armory,
many posts sending large delegations, nearly every
post in Brooklyn and New York being represented.
Charles R. Doane Post, of Brooklyn, turned OUt
thirty strong as an escort to A, Q, M, Geu. Cavendy,'
the musierlilg officer, aud several other posts did
nearly as well. Yet, owing to vexatious delays and
drawbacks, it was ten o’clock before tho ceremo
nies* of the evening began, and many comrades had
already withdrawn, while those who remained felt 1
in a critical and unamiable mood. After the ball »
had once started rolling, however, things went off j
more smoothly.
Thirty-one new recruits were mustered in by !
Comrade Cavendy, and an equal number were re
ceived by transler. Then Col. Henry A. Weeks was
elected Commander of the post, and he and the
other officers were installed by Comrade Max Reece. (
Some of the pleasant features of the evening oc- >
curred during the muster, the charge to the re-, t
cruits, by Commander C. Hull Grant, of Brooklyn, «
and the presentation of badges by Comrade Capt, }
Wou Fowler, being models in their line. Comrade !
Rexetraw, who was appointed Adjutant, although t
comptxratiye!y a new addition to G. A. R. circles, t
made an excellent impressiou by the manner in '
which tie periormed his duties. i
Aj&sr the installation, the Post and its guests ad
journed to a neighboring hall, where a collation had
been provided. Here there was another example of
bad management, for whilo some of the pushing
and jostling comrades monopolized the tables,
those who were modest and retiring £ot nothing at
all, and many depariou m disgust, ihe officers Of
the Post, as a body, seemed to have forgotten en
tirely the civility due their guests, many of whom
had come a long distance, not only to do them
honor, but to assist in the ceremonies. But Han
cock Post is young, and must live and learn. i

Since the above was written two or three letters
have been sent to The Dispatch criticizing the
manner in which affairs were conducted at the in
stallation and muster. The following will serve as
a sample:
New York, Feb. 28, 1886.
To the Editor of the New York Dispatch :
While aware that you are desirous only of serving
the public and will not admit to your columns any- :
thing savoring of personalities, I deem it a duty 1
incumbent upon me as a member of the G. A. R. to -
denounce the deliberate and intentional insult to ■
Assistant Quartermaster-General Cavendy at the
muster in of Winfield Scott Hancock Post on Satur
day evening, Feb. 27. The charter was procured
mainly through the instrumentality of the Quarter
master-General, who was detailed to muster the
Post and install its officers. Through an error of
judgment, caused by his willingness to oblige, he
was led to consent 4hat Max Reece (who was instru
mental in organizing the Post) should perform the
service of installation. From the moment he sur
rendered the gavel he was entirely ignored and sub
jected to a series o<f petty annoyances which were as
unworthy of the comrades of Hancock Post as they '
the Assistant Quartermaster-Gen
eral and his staff. "*
When invited to the collation room, he, with a
staff of fully thirty comrades (nearly all of whOffl
were Past Commanders), was barely allowed en
trance to the room, and then, with his entire staff,
remained standing at the end of the room without
even being Invited to approach the table.
There was no excuse for this that can be demon
strated, aud it is the universal opinion that it was
intended. The Commanders who were present as
the staff will not soon forget it, nor will it aid the
new post either in prestige or influence.
If Comrade Reece and the officers of the new post
had desired to express in any way their disapproval
of Comrade Cavendy for any duty loft undone, they
might have taken some other than a public occa
sion, and one where many innocent comrades
would suffer.
As one of the staff, I was’so much pleased with my
visit to Winfield Scott Hancock Post, on the occa
sion of their muster into the Grand Army, that I
will never make another.
Yours in F„ C. and L.,
One of the Staff.
STACKPOLE WAS THE WINNER.
Robert Anderson Post had its tenth annual hop
and entertainment last Monday evening. It was a
pound party, and Past Commander Boyd rattled off
the packages in artistic auctioneer style. The voting
for the Album to be presented to the most popular
lady in the room was spirited. It was won by the
wile of Comrade Sothern. The balloting for the
sword was also lively, and Comrade Stackpole was
the lucky winner. It was presented to him in a
neat and witty manner by Comrade John W.
Jacobus.
Then the entertainment began. Messrs. West
and Butterworth appeared in humorous sketches;
the Wilton Brothers danced a clog; the Misses
Erickson and Mrs. Mount recited and sang, as did
also Mr. and Miss Pickings, from Greenville, N. J.
Several others entertained the company until danc
ing commenced. At the close of the programme
Miss Erickson presented Past Commander Lord
with a huge G. A. R. badge made of artificial flowers.
Dancing continued until the break of day and
everybody went home well satisfied with their
night’s enjoyment.

ing, for the benefit of the fife and drum corps, was
a great success in every respect. Many prominent
comrades were in attendance.
A. Probable Accomplice.
HE ESCAPES "BQ THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH.”
Between six and seven o’clock, on February Ist, a
wagon drove up before the grocery door of John
Ovens, No. 1,618 Third avenue. Two men jumped
out and got hold of a barrel of flour and hoisted it
in the wagon, when the clerk halloed to the boss
and told him what was going ou. He rushed out
of the store and the thieves jumped out of the
wagon, and ran. He held the horse while the boss
went to the other side to get the name of the owner
and number. Just then the prisoner, James Galla
gher, came up, slightly under the influence of
liquor, and asked if the horse had run away.
Overis said, "No.” "What ailed the horse?”
"Nothing.” "Well, why stand there, like darned
fools, holding it, when they could hitch it to
a tree ?” All at once he said be would make that
horse go, took hold of the reins and gave the horse
a kick. But there were two against one and Galla
gher was held till an officer came along and arrested
him.
Tho presumption is that he was a pal of the two
escaped thieves, played half drunk to get posses
sion of the horse, that he might start off with it
and rejoin his companions. But there was not legal
proof to connect Gallagher with the thieves, and he
was discharged.
A Confused Bum.—Pat Savage, ahum,
entered the liquor store 1131 Third avenue and took
his stand at the stove. There he stood like a cat,
watching Thomas Reilley, the proprietor. Tom
went in the office to read the paper. Pat thought
he saw his chance, got behind the bar, and sneaked
$lO from the shelf. Tom happened to lift his eyes
from the paper, and, seeing Pat, in a wink he col
lared him. The officer found the money in his
pocket.
The officer who made the arrest searched him and
found the $lO.
Pat said he didn’t take the money. He was paid
$11; a dollar he had nearly spent.
•• What were you doing behind the counter z”
*• I wasn't behind it.”
•• Before searching him did he claim this money?”
•• No,” replied tho officer.
"What did he say when you found the money?”
"Nothing.”
"Six months.”

E DISEASES OF THE BLOOD ARE
"productions of impurities, poisons, or viruses intro
duced into the system by inheritance, inoculation or ab
sorption. Tl ese poisons manifest their presence first by
skin eruptions, abscesses, ulcers, tubercles, running,
sores, Ac. They impair, or debilitate the system, nerves,
lungs, and all the organs; the result is anemia, rheu
matism, catarrh, con.'■uniption, impotency, Ac., and all
the various kinds of nervous disorders, so that life be
comes a burden to the suffeter, or premature death fol
io wsj if a.well directed medication is not resorted to.
Dr. PROTIN devoted his long medical experience to
assorting these viruses in the human system, the dis
eases they .produ -e. their evii and their
treatment. Patients may consult him with the utmost
confidence to obtain a sure, speedy, and permanent cure.
