Ce.lbilltV ana sJlhiity OF nature which is wanted
IN the chief of an army of 1000 metropolitan

govern can fight and can deal with masses OF
human beings not much more CIVILIZED than the
rougbs of the East End. Altogether the appoint
ment Is well received. Sir Charles warren IS SO
good an officer IN 4 people only wonder why NE

himself TO the safety of London. IL seems probable
that he has what is called of duty.

has been called tor. Ali this is on the best
authority. for the art critic of this journal is the
