Everybody reads it POLICE APPOINTMENTS. ‘Mr. Crane Urges the Kepeal of the Army and Navy Claase To the Editor of Tue Evening Star: It is certainly a pitiable condition of things when the chief of police, as stated by Tar Sran, is obliged to plead with the War Depart- ment for the discharge of # man before his term of enlistment expires in order to secure him to fill vacancy on our metropolitan police force, where there are thousands of able-bodied, intelligent young men who are citizens of this District, familiar with its streets, its laws and its people, who would be gind of an opportunity to fill such vacancies, It seems this anomalous condition of things is duo toa stupid and most absurd law--well enough when enacted, but all wrong now— which requires vacancies in our police foree to be filled with men from the army or navy. I remember well the discussions that took place pis law and others giving preference in dlopartments to soidiers and sailors who she Union army during the rebellion seed. Thove laws were for the benefit of poor men who risked their ves for their country in its hour of peril, and not for the benefit of those not old enough to do military duty when the | warclosed, who'have only served in the army I navy in times of pence. which was approved March 2. 1867, i be appointed ed in the army ited States and received an As the men this law was intended to benefit them and their families, as, while those who fought in the rebeilion are’ now too old to serve on the po ree, many of them have sons who couid serve and be of wid to their aged parents, but who are disqualified from not having been in the army or nav: ‘There are men who died that their country might live, whose forms arc now crumbling back to dust beneath the sods of Arlington or in the tomb of “the 3,000 unknown,” that left sons, now old enough and pcsscased of every qualification requisite to make good police officers, who are prevented from serving and of being able to contribute to the support of aged mothers on account of this absurd law. The law as it now stands virtually ays to “the roughs” in the slums of the great cities from New York to San Francisco: “Enlist in the regular army, get an honorable dis- charge and you shall have a life position, with " a pensioned old age, on the police force of the District of Columbia, where you will be independent of the people who have nothing to do with public affairs ex- cept to pay taxes that non-residents assess.” How can we expect to have aneficient police force made up of the material that is now ANACOSTIA.

Upon being searched, a brace and bit, jimmy, chisel, five-chambered $2-caliber revolver, 37 cents and a qnantity of loose matches were found in his pockets, As the money was being counted the prisoner said: “Let me have that mouey.” ‘These were the only words he uttered, He is about twenty-four years old and nearly six feet in height. The circumstances sur- rounding the shooting of Findiey will probably never be known, as he never regained ¢on- sciousness. It is supposed, however, that while pessing the store his attention was attracted to the burglar working at the safe, as an exumina- tion showed that preparations had been made to blow it open. At about 5:30 o'clock Officer Nester, who was nenrly a block away, heard two shots fired in wick succession. He ran in the direction of the noise, being joined by a night watchman. They found Findley lying on the sidewalk and the burglar standing over him. As Nester ap- ached the desperate man fired two shots at the second of wiich took effect, being at such close range as to singe his pulsewarmer. ‘The murdered policeman was twenty-six years old and leaves a wife and infant child, Nester is twenty-four years old. He is being congratulated by the police officials upon his bravery in holding the burglar in the face of the injury, which entirely disabled one arm. All efforts to make the prisoner speak have been unavailing. The scene of shooting is in the heart of the wholesale district, und is a dark and lonely loculity at night. to the charin of the evening.

Mr. Timothy Herrick of Strasburg, N. ¥., father of Albert Herrick, the fugitive train- man, saw his son in New York on Saturday and had a long talk with him. He urged his son to g0 to the railroad officials and tell them his story about the Hastings wreck, but could not get him to doso in the existing state of public feeling. Then his father got him to make a statement on paper and bade him good-bye, ng bim he did not went to hear from him unless he was seriously ill, because he would be questioned continually about him. He told him to write no letters, nor would he write to him. ‘The statement, which has been sent to Supt. eCoy, is as follows: eat Sir: I would say in reference to the accident uorth of Hastings Christmas eve that wheu our train vowed up, but while yet mov- ing.

He said he did not know and sat down and re- mained there three to five minut when I heard the train coming, and started for the door, believing it to be the local.

All of the mem- bers of the tory cabinet recently called to office arrived from Quebec. The tory papers had been appealing to their friends for several days to give the ministers a big reception, and Denounced as a Violation of Rights. At a meeting held in Chicago Sunday night of members of various trade and labor organizations many speeches deuouncing the recent police raid on the Greif's Hall mecting were made. A resolution was adopted. the Preamble setting forth that the meeting was peaceful and law-abiding in every respe that the raid was in violation of ‘the rights of American citizens; “that a committee of five be appointed to lay before the grand jury the facts of the raid and our protest against it.” = ee A Gateman's Stupidity May Cost Life.

The value of a medicine is best proved by its continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as well as by a steady, increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as has marked the introduc- tion and progress of Brandreth’s Pills, which, after a trial of sixty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effective purgative and blood purifier introduced to the public. That this is the result of merit, and that Brandreth’s Pills actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the longest. Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable, absolutely harm- less, and safe to take at any time. Sold in every drug and medicine store, coated. either plain or sugar —_—_—_—_—_— AUCTION SALES.
