As Clubmen They Are ADo an Indisputa
ble .Success—Uniformed Ruffians
Who Seem to Have Every
thing Their Own Way.
[Special New York Lettcr.l
New York is famous for its club
men, who may be divided into two
classes. They, however, do not re
semble each other in the least. Club
men of the first class can be seen to
advantage in the windows of the
fashionable clubrooms on Fifth avenue.
They sit there by the hour, with the
- ' — \J
TIIE GALLANT POLICEMAN.
Idiotic leer of a clothing store dummy,
ogling the women as they pass on the
sidewalk.
This kind of clubman is compara
tively harmless, but the other kind,
the clubmen of the police force, are
entirely different from the rich, but
effeminate, dudes who wear baggy
clothes and are afflicted with a sup
posed-to-be cockney dialect that is sug
gestive of chronic nasal catarrh. New
York club dudes are the dudiest, to
coin a word, and most unspeakably
idiotic, in the world. In this respect
the New York article defies competi
tion. The club window dummies of
Philadelphia and Chicago aro but sick
ly imitations in comparison.
Physically, the New York policeman
is to be admired. lie is usually above
six feet tall, and originally splendidly
proportioned. As he grows older he
becomes portly and majestic, the
natural result of living on the fat of the
land, and taking just enough exercise
to promote digestion. One would sup
pose that such a favored son of fortune
would be in a perpetual good humor
with himself and the rest of mankind;
but such is not the experience of those j
who have been brought in contact with
our officers of the law. The New York
policeman, like the New York janitor,
is unmistakably sut generis. The at
mosphere of Manhattan Island is iu
despensable to his perfect development.
It would require a large volume to
enumerate all the objectionable peculi
arities of our guardians. They are as
full of discrepancies as a, shad is of
bones. Of course, not all the New York
policemen are objectionable. There
are some, no doubt, who are gentle
men, for there are exceptions to every
rule. As Cervantes puts it: "It is not
improbable that there are some very |
nice people even in Ilades." In fact, the 1
entire police force of New York will
have to be reorganized in the interests
of law and order. It is a mistake, how
ever, to suppose that any particular par
ty is to blame for the demoralization of
the force, for some of the most objec- :
tionable police captains are republic- j
ans, and some of them are practically
socialistic, when it comes to dividing
what belongs to other people.
Heretofore the New York policeman j
has enjoyed what is commonly called (
"a cinch." As soon as lie gets his blue I
uniform on he begins to make it lively j
for the general public. He goes around !
raising large crops of cushion-shaped
wens on the heads of those whose style
does not suit him. He raises theso
THE BLIND POLICEMAN.
wens with impunity and a locust club.
If the victim is not so badty used up
that he has to be sent to the hospital
for repairs, the "cop" feeds him to a
duskj r cell, even as the hunger of the
editorial waste basket is quenched by
the bountiful crop of autumnal poems.
The question naturally arises: Aro
there no evil consequences when the
victim becomes convalescent, and ap
peals to the courts? There are such
consequences, and very disagreeable
ones they are, too—to the victim. Dan
gerous as is the rampant policeman
with a club on the street, he is in
finitely more dangerous on the witness
stand. With some slight assistance
from the judge, with whom he has a
pull, he makes it appear perfectly
plain that the bruised and battered vic
tim was really the aggressor. It is gen
erally understood that when a man bo
comes a member of the New York po
lice force his conscience is removed
from his bosom, and a long coil of
flexible rubber tubing is substituted,
before he becomes an officer of the law
he may be so sensitive that he cannot
see a railroad cut, or a newspaper cut,
without feeling hurt himself, but he
ROOII becomes as tough as a boarding
house stealc—-after it is cooked.
Verily, the Ne'-v York- policeman is a
highly favored individual. If the ordi
nary citizen becomes at all boisterous
fro.n overdoses of Dr. John Barley
corn's liquid lubricant for the parch id
epiglottis he is promptly hypnotized
with a club; but the intoxicated police
man can walk on both sides of tbo
street with his hat 011 his ear, and
there is 110 one to molest or m.-.ke htm
afraid. On the contrary, he molests
other people and makes them afraid.
They are not even safe under their own
vine and fig- tree, metaphorically speak- •
ing.
If a private citizen caresses, on the
street, ladies to whom he has never j
been introduced, the insulted female, '
who has been fondled, may walk off
with the offender's eye dangling from
the end of her parasol, or some male
relative may shoot large apertures in
the anatomical structure of the of
fender, or "mutilate" him indiscrimi
nately with a bludgeon with warts on
it. On the other hand, a policeman, in
escorting ladies across the street at a
crowded crossing may hug them with
impunity nnd a pressure that would
cause the blush of envy to mantle the ;
check of a hay press.
The policemen on duty in the various 1
parks differ from the rest of the force— |
in appearance. The park policemen, j
or "sparrow cops," wear gray uni
forms, suggestive of the late confed
eracy, while the others wear blue.
That's the only difference between
them. Being continually on duty
where they can hear the singing of the
bird and view the beauties of nature, i
subjected to the refining inlluence of
woman—the parks are full of nurse
girls—one might suppose that the park
policeman would be of a sympathetic
nature, but such is net the case. He is,
if possible, more ferocious than the ;
blue-coated policemen, who are liable '
to be contaminated by the saloons and
those who frequent them.
At the same time, the New York po
lice have great heads for business.
They are not slow in adopting the good
suggestion of I ago: 'Tut money in thy
purse, good Rodorigo." Every imagin
able form of vice has to pay tribute,
and many legitimate lines of business !
have to pay for protection to avoid
being persecuted and harassed. They !
arc out for the boodle. In the game of
life the New York policeman is in no
danger of goingout.on three balls. On
the contrary, he makes even the pawn
"TIIP: GRASPING POLICEMAN. |
brokers shell out or quit buying stolen
goods.
It hus been established by the most
convincing proof that police captains
act as agents for certain brands of
whisky and cigars, receiving a com
mission from the manufacturers. The
saloonkeeper who refuses to buy his
liquor from a certain firm is liable to
bave his place raided, whenever ho
keeps open after midnight, as all of
them do. The name of the brand of
cigars that finds favor with the police
is "La Reformade Nucva York." This
is probably a joke, but the frozen fact
remains that New York liquor and
cigar manufacturers IKIVG found it
necessary to organize and take con
certed action to prevent themselves
from being ruined in business by the
uniformed agents of rival firms.
And there is reason to believe that
only the surface of New York police
corruption has been scratched by the !
investigating committee. It is not
unlikely that the police departments of
some other large cities are tarred with
the same brush as is that of Gotham,
but New Y'ork's claim for the cham- j
pionship cannot be succesfully dis
puted. ALEX E. SWEET, I
The Father of Rattlers Killed.
The largest rattlesnake ever killed ,
possibly in the entire state of Georgia j
was killed the other afternoon in the >
East Macon district. It had twenty- I
two rattlers and a button, making it 23 i
years old. It measured a fraction over |
five feet in length. Nobody can bo '
found to have heard of a rattler 23 years
old. A snake that carries fourteen or
sixteen rattles and a button is consid
ered a monster in these parts, and is
looked upon with most respectful bear
ing. The men had quite an exciting
time killing the snake. None of them
dared go within sevoral lengths of him,
and when he shook his mighty bunch
of rattles the noise was awful, nnd j
struck terror to the hearts of the nc- '
groes, causing them each time to re
treat farther. They finally dispatched
him with a long pole.
Th Money-Making Nose.
Said a business man of wide exped
ience and observation, the other day:
"Have you ever observed the money
making nose? It is a strong, well
formed nose, invariably curved some
what, like a beak. That crook in the
nose is the unfailing sign of money
making ability. I have observed it for
years. If you doubt it look about and
you will find every wealthy man who
lias made his own money out of noth
ing has more or less such a nose. A
very fine example of the money-mak
ing nose is that which adorns the face
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who, though
born with a gold spoon in his mouth, j
has shown very marked ability in the i
increase of his fortune. Most of our 1
bankers and railway presidents have I
similar uoscs."

Hon. Augustus O. Bacon is a native
:of Bryan county, Ga., and was born
j there on October 20, 1839. lie was real
j ly of a Liberty county family, however,
his mother at the time of his birth be

county. His father was Rev. Augustus
O. Bacon, a Baptist minister, and on
, his maternal side lie is a grand-nephew
; of the late Judge William Law, of Sa- 1
vannali, one of Georgia's most distiu
; guished men.
Beth of his parents dying young, the
lad was left to the care of his grand- i
mother and spent his boyhood in Lib- j
erty. At the age of sixteen he entered I
the University of Georgia, graduating
in the collegiate course in 1859, and !
from the law school in ISGO. In Octo
ber of that year he began tho practice
of his profession in Atlanta, but in
1 May, 1801, he went into the army as
adjutant of the Ninth Georgia regi
ment. In 1804 he married Miss Vir

restoration of peace resumed the prac
