THE POLICE FORCE TROUBLES.
Current Gossip About the Reasons for the Re-
cent Suspensions Of Patrolmen.

The new police commissioner, Mr.. Cottrell,
has aroused quite a good deal of indignation
among the police force and the conservative peo-
pie of this city by his suspension of Officers Far
rell and Ronecker, whom he accuses Of loiter-
ing. The charge is so palpably absurd. and the
purpose of the suspensions so clear, that Mr..
Cottrell cannot hope to conciliate the public to
his policy. Officers Farrell and Ronecker
have been regarded as sober, industrious and
efficient officers of the law, and the only fault
they are suspected of having is persistent habit
of making saloon keepers observe the liquor
law. 1t is known that Mr. Cottrell has adopted
liberal policy toward the liquor dealers, and
being opposed to the ii o'clock saloon law and
the Sunday law, would naturally be hostile to
all patroimen who ATTEMPTED to enforce such
laws 1t is a noticeable fact that Officer Farrell
recently indicted the Bates House saloon for
keeping open and selling liquor after IL o'clock
and Ronecker indicted saloon-keeper on South
Meridian street, a few days since, for similar
breach Of the law. Until then neither
had the enmity of the commissioner
This is the sort of lettering they
are evidently charged with. 1t is further
charged by members of the force that the oppo-
sition of Cottrell is extended to every patrol
man who is net in favor Of giving the liquor
dealers loose rein and full liberty, and he is
looked upon as the champion of the saloon
keepers. Any officer may be charged with
lettering and be suspended, AS were Farrell and
Ronecker but in this case it is evidently plan
Of somebody's to harass the men whom they
would devoutly wish to be removed from the
police force.
At the next meeting of the board, which takes
place on Thursday. Farrell and Ronecker will
answer to their charges, and will exonerate
themselves, if there be such thing as justice
and fair play. 1t is said that at that meeting
Cottrell will prefer charges against Superin-
tendent Lang

''The excellent lecture of Mr. French at the

yond all peradyenture of doubt have
sown seed here that will grow to a
richly-fruted field of art, thought and work
in this town in the course of time So simple
that even the children gathered abont the
crowded auditorium clap ped their hands, and
listened intently, it was replete with instruction,
charming in its breadth of tone, and
satisfactory from all points of view. The charm
about Mr.. French lies in thas he so thoroughly
understands what he is about, and is gifted with
the power of mparting his thoughts to rare
degree He drew some thirty illustrations upon
gray paper with various colored crayon, yet al
ways keeping his illustrations subservient to his
line of thought, throwing the sheets, about
5x3a feet, back over the board, and thus it comes
to pass that the Art Association has secured col
lection of cartoons about which there will always
hang not only pleasant recollection of very
charming visitor, but complete study in itself.
Any good art teacher may at any time hereafter
take these cartoons and deliver a most instruct
i've lecture with due preparation. Mr.. French
