WILL SPEND THE BUMMER IN JAIL For Hitting Her Nephew In tbe Head With a Coupling Link—William and Klljah Were Play Ing Till tbe Tea Kettle Wee Used—Poke Could Nut Keelat Temp tation. "Were you ever arrested before?" was the question atked of Catherine Jones, colond, by Judge Ball in Municipal Court this morning as he toyed with the highly-polished beam of tbe full jeweled scales, and cast his eye over the heavy weights resting In the plash lined drawer. "Once befoh, y oh honah," replied the dusky prisoner, who wss under arrest for soaking her nephew Douglass Roberts, with a railroad coupling link. ''An' twar over dla came hoy." "Not for writing policy? ' again queried tbe judge. •No sab, Ise allua done got dar o' dat. Ise p'ayed policy, bat Ise too sharp to get kotched," was tbe reply given with s chuckle Catherine pleaded guilty to salting tbe lad, who is about 19 years of age. The story as developed showed that Cathe rine, who lives at No. Ill Washington street and has a side entrance on Lafayette street has been much an noyed by other Japs who make her corner a lounging place and turn flip flaps against her house Doug bss lived with her all Winter, but recently a rift In the late appeared, due to tbe failure of Douglass to obtain work, and Catherine and he came together with tbe result than on Saturday night she used tbe link with telling effect. Tbe officers on that beat stated that Catherine was ss bad as any of tbe others around there, and when tbe scales erased to vibrate, the pointer stood at $26 and costa and three months In New Castle jail, suppoaedly at bard labor. ai I It Started lo Horae Flay.

Charles decided they were making too much noise and parted them, when Wil Ham grabbed a tea kettle aud struck Elijah, over Charles' shoulder, Inflicting a cut In Elijah's head which required four stitches to sew up. Elijah seamed unwilling to press William very hard, and Nelson shared in that feeling When asked by Judge Ball bow bad the cut was, be said, "Oh, it didn't amount to much," ' It only required four stitches? ' In quired tbe judge. "Pshaw; that's only « matter ot nonseuae,'' replied Nelson. It didn't prove a matter of nonsense for William, however, the pointer again resting at $26 and coats aud three months fact that he his right men were drank from tbe no fingers on The Temptation Too Great.

Senator George Qr»v writes thus In answer to the New York World, why he thinks this country great: ' I can tell you one or two reasons why this is a great country. It was settled by colonists from the most advscc-d nations, and has bad an opportunity never before equalled of making an ex periment in self-government. The people have been able to make the ex périment without the handicap and hin drance of poverty, which was an impossi bility so far as food and shelter are con cerned, thanks to the natural resources of America. * ''Eliminated also from the problem which the people have bad to confront is the weight of tradition and of a prlvl loged class lu God's own good time this chance was afforded at the climax of the ages for a great nation to start out and govern Itself. Thns It has had an opportunity to grow as no people ever grew before. "A poljt that has had much to do with our development as a nation Is to be found In tue Independence and autonomy of the states with respect to each other. When ms dissolved the bond that con uected ns with Great Britain, we found ourselves not a single country under one rule, but a number of states, organized separately and with independent govern mènes. We have become la effect a group of sovereignties, each controlled by Its own separate authority. This has been most fortunate for us in many ways The arrangement In question has been productive of the best possible exprès slon of tbe Idea of local self-government. While all tbe states are under general control by tbeir mutual will, no one of them Is able to Interfere with another "Nowhere else In tbo world do you find that local self-government Is obtained la any other manner than by the dtstrlbu tlon of powers frbm the central govern ment dowp Here the local governmenta actually create the central government. This gives a security with which no other oouceiveable arrangement can com pare. Resting upon this theory organ ised Into fact, we have gone steadily ahead in the business of experimental legislation and sociology. We bave made and will continue to make «avances which In the vary nature of things are impracticable elsewhere. "One important advantage of our dl vision Into component states Is that we are able to make experiments. Take the case of woman suffrage, for example Wyoming Is trying it. The other states look on with interest. If It should prove a success, they may be inclined to adopt it. Along these Hues we have developed many of our most important laws, In eluding those which govern the pronerty and condition from the legal point of view of women. When a new Idea has demonstrated itself as a success In one state tue other states are Inclined to accept It. On the other hand a novel experiment that proves a failure Is IccaLztd Hers we have a guarantee of future security which Is not to be under estimated. In Q on a a PHEW, Bar IT V&S HOT. Yesterday Was a Regular Hoorrhsr and tbe Hottest Ever Experienced In April. Yesterday was a veritable July day and Old Hoi did not lose a minute, but kept at work from daylight until dusk. When tbe stable doors In tbe orient were thrown open and the God of day drove forth on hla trip to the West the mer cury in every tube began Its upward jump and long before the zenith was reached the shining thread of quicksilver had mounted Into the nineties, where hang until neatly 6 o'clock. Then a thunder shower came up and for a time the air wasj cooler. The rain lasted but a few minute* and all that fell was greedily dtuuk In by tbe thirsty earth and did great good The heat during the day was Intense, and bad it been a week day there would, doubtless, been many cases of beat prostration. As It was, humanity sought every available means to keep cool. The parks were filled with those who had little accommodatlen (or keeping cool at home, tbe open cars were well patron Iztd, and shady front porches were In demand The churches had small con gregations, as a rule, and the streets were practically deserted until evening, when they were well patronized until a late hour Tbe Ice men, soda and cream parlors, and cool drinks men are smiling and have no cymplalnt to make It was the hottest day ever experienced iu April The highest tbe mercury reached was 94 degrees In the shade, one degree hotter than that reached on last Friday.

The annual school of examination of the members of tbe Polles Department began on Saturday afternoon, aud from 2 until C o'clock tbe men were put through their paces not bave been found anywhere, and the Interest they mault*- -J aud tbe Intel ligence they choaed In answering questions proved that they were well up In their duties Polls* Commissioner William M Pyle, Judge Ball, City Solicitor Harman,Walter Q Hayes and representatives of tbe local papers were present, aud many of the questions asked emanated from them. Chief Dolan asked tbe questions aud Clerk Doherty sored tbe game A fine*- body of men could at a The Sergeants on the Rack. Tbe six street sergeants were first put on tbe rack and a series of questions re latlng to tbeir duties were asked These questions were made ss Intricate as possible, so as to confuse, but fewrf them caused the men to stumble Of coarse, there were differences of opinion, bat If bulls eyes were not always mads there were no misses. Ous af the qnen Mane win ■ ' What would you do If yon had a warrant far a man «ceased of com milling a misdemeanor, and you knew be was lu a heure, sud you oculd not get In?" Hume of the men said they wou'd force a way iu, but the mijirtty would wait for an opportunity. Mr. Barman re plied (bat If a technical arrest had first been mad* a breaking oould be mad«,but not otherwise A technical arrest meant a touching of tbe man. Another queztlon was: "If yon saw s man In the city who bad jumped bis ball at the last term of court, he havlug been arrested, charged with a misdemeanor, bow would you act?" Hargaant Welah said his Impulse would be to arrest him, but the proper way would ha to notify tbe sheriff or the attorney-general. How Many In the Department? Numerous questions touching the courts, drawing ot juries, etc., were answered aud then a stumper come In "How many persons are connected with tbe police department? ' Hergeant Bay ley answered elghty-one and after Com miselouer Pyle had added un the list It was toand correct Hergeant B»ylev smiled as he remarked that hs added them up before he came In For tbo benefit, of tbe ourlons tbe list is given Commissioner*, 8; chief. 1; cleik, 1; captains, j2; sergeants, 10; operators, 2; turnkeys, 2; matrons, 2; lineman, 2; patrol, 2; drivers. 2; janitor, 1; effiosrs, 51—total, 81. Of these 8 are bonded, ths chief and two house sergeants. Another q lastlon was: "Can you ar rest on warrant outside of tbe e.ty, to serve a summons If Issued by tbe judge of the Municipal Court? If ao, where?" Tbe answer Is "Yea. as a warrant of this court holds good all over tbs state." The Tax Collectors Prerogative, Another question which caused some hesitation was: "Should tbe city tax collector order you to make an arrest of a delinquent, what action would yon lake?" The answer was, arrest Him,there being an ordinance to that »tfsot, Judge Ball, however, expressed hla belief that the ordinance would not stand If con tested Ths patrol men were then lined up In the court room and answered to roll call. Only seven precincts were examined, tbe balance of the men, the patro 1 service, bouse man and operators having a ref pile until Wednesday afternoon. Tbs ques tions asked wer* mainly relative to duty aud were, In tbe main, answard promp tly. Considerable amusement was created when one of tbe men was aakad what rule seven watt, when be replied- Giving news to reporters will be punished by dismissal. Chief Dolan corrected him by saying that the rule related to davnlglng police buslaest to outsiders. Officer Msbion when asked what be would do If a saloon keeper aakvd him to ren.ove a man from bis place, smiled and said 'T would not go In Only one Lolled State Senator. Officer Har»y Mas«ey was asked "wlo are the two United States Senators from Delaware" He promptly answered; "There la only one, Georg* Gray " Au Evening Journal report« r asked Pyle If that was correct and received su affirmative reply. . One question was "If an offleir having o subpceia for a tutu msati him and notifies him that hehes a sub; m is, bat before h* can read It tbs man runs away, la that a servlet?" Chief Dolan decided that It wan, and sited a cate where Chief Justice Gilpin fined a man for contempt of court who so acted. "Can an effiesr break into a house with a warrant (or misdemeanor?" City Solicitor Barman decided no unlea* a technical arrest had first btan mads Does It at HI* Owa Risk. "In case of one officer having a war.-ant for a man charged with misdemeanor can another officer arrest that man?" City Solicitor Harman said that If no objection was raised bv the man, the arrest oonld be made But If be resisted tnd the officer used foree. he could be sued for assault, and If he killed the man. for murder, while If tbe officer was killsd no charge of murder could Ils against tba a of to of for at It the ths the {J all for aud for mar Another question which caused consid erable arguimsl was "could an officer arrest s citizen who, when called on to asvlst In making as arrest, refused ?" It was the opinion of tbe eity solicitor and Mr. Bayes that hs oould, bat no Instances of where It had been dene were known to either. A warrant would be neoeasary. Takenall in all, tbe examination was a very satisfactory one, and while some officer« may not get 100, they all dsisrve that rating Broke hla Ankle ou e Fence.
