AT p m. yesterday the police force assem-
were rung into the Depnty's room and placed
IN line.
Marshal Andrews then addressed the force,
telling them that he had called them together
for an inspection and TO make few remarks.
He then called their attention to the fact that
it was evident there had been no regular sys-
tenn pursued in regard to the uniformipg of
the force. There were several shades of blue
In the different uniforms present. The buttons
were not always put on alike Some of the
coats were longer than others. Some would
button military fashion in the throat aud 9TH
ers wouldn't He told the force there was no
desire to put them to expense, but simply to
get them into shape that would be more SOL
aierly on the street. He said they would have
TO buy new hats of a pattern to be furnished,
but new badges, belts and billies would be pro-
vided by the city.
tie then said he had word to say about the
liquor business. He did not wish to make the
police special sellers fer the enforcement of
the liquor law any more than for the enforce
ment OF any other Law. In other words--as the
Marshal was understood to say--he meant that
1t was not intended the force should consider
any one law had preference over any other
law. he wanted the police to see that the
shops where liquors were supposed to be sold,
were closed every night by 10 o'clock. Not
closed by simply putting mp the blinds, but by
moving the people out who were lettering
there, and stopping the traffic. The sale of
liquor must be stopped on Sunday, no loafing
permitted about those shops, and the shops
kept closed. The Marshal said he know the
difficulties which stood in the way, but his
orders must be obeyed. Every policeman
must be responsible for his beat and must noti-
fy the shops on his beat that they must close at
10 O'Clock nightly and not open Sundays. All
violations of these orders by any one of Them
would cause the Keepers prosecution, even if
there had to be prosecution for every day in
the week. Again there must be no hauling or
carting OF liquors through the streets allowed
Sunday. Such work must be stopped Kltch-
ems are appendages of some rum shops, aud the
order applys equally to them. Liquor must
not be sold in them. II eating abuse

La conclusion the Marshal said hs should
back up the force in their doings and he should
expect equal support from them.
