A RETIRED LIST.
Some System of Relieving Old Police
men From Active Duty Necessary.
Too Many Old Men on the Force.

Chief Child "a using his best endeavors
TO have an ordinance enacted whereby
retired list for the members of the police
force VIII be established, so that when an
oiiicer who, after i've years service,
shall have become disabled for the per-
formance Of full police service, by the
iniirmity OF age or disease, or injuries sus-
tsined in the performance OF mis- duty,
and without fault or misconduct on his
part, he can be retired by the chief upon
the certificate of the police surgeon, with
the approval OF the police committee of
the Board OF Aidermep. And
such as are Oh the retired list
shall draw halt pay, and act as
reserve force. This reserve force, as the
chief puts it, is TO be used on occasions
like the recent storm, and the annual
parade day, or in cases OF large fires, the
men TO be at all times full fiedged police
men, subject to no rollcall, or anything
that viii make them feel that they are
under any restraint.
There are at the present time half a
dozen policemen who have done honor
able service for more than u quarter of Ga
century who are now unfit for service, and
were they in the employ OF many private
concerns would be dismissed FOR incapa bill
ity. Some Of these old veterans are
obliged 10 wear one and some two elastic
stockings while in the performances of
their duties and the chief has given
these men beats that they can attend
TO in their disabled condition. Some
ask the chief why he does not have the
men discharged. His answer is that while
he is chief Of the department he will never
have a maa discharged for such cause.
"if it IL done ii must be by higher au-
thority."
The number that would go on the list is
small and their places would be filled bv
younger and more active men and the city
would be better protected.
In other cities this is being done with
excellent results from the fact that the
members would perform the duties faith
fully, knowing I hat they were to be car ed
for In their old age.
Some OF the members who sre likely o
be benefited by this new feature do not
like the ides of being called upon TO 90
any duty and some put 1t a little stronger
and say that they shall have fuli
pay and no duty. The chief has nc
objections 10 their getting full pay, but
does not think that the taxpayers are
ready to be SO nberal Just at present. As
To tho proposed systom Chief Child SAYS
that there are several ways in which a
fund could be accumulated for the sup
port of those on the retired list. One is
that each member of the force should
pay % cents week INTO the
fund, and that small per cent. OF the
proceeds OF the Police Court could be
added, and that the revenue for socials
and entertainments could be given TO this
fund. thus relieving the taxpayer.
The parade on Oct. III showed that the
force was little "top heavy" as gray
haired men outnumbered the rest. But
with a retired list the force could he
strengthened with but little, IL any cost
to the taxpayer.

DENUUACE The AUTHORITIES.
Newport Indignant that tie Emergency
Hospital ShoulG be Abolished.
sp,c.ai 10 The NeSs.

NEWPORT, Nov. 17.--At meeting OF
the Newport Sanitary Protective Asaocia-
tion held yesteTIay TTTTruOon rcsoiu-
tions were pessed concerning the action
OF the city authorities in doing away with
aud selling the emeI genoy hospital, which
wss situated at Eagle Crest.
The association claims in their resolu-
tions that such q building, isolated from
the city, is needed more than ever, as
diphtheria seems to be increasing ia New
England.
When the action of the City Council
abolished the hospital, simply TO save
few hundred dollars yeer, the citizens in
general thought that a mistake had been
made. This will probably be the means
OF establishing another and " erected

mortal Chapel, the handsome new place
OF worship for the members OF ST..
Johns parish, Newport, will be conse-
Grated in accordance with the rites and

1t expected that the local Episcopal
clergy aud other eminent priests OF the
church will be present. Services will also
be held in the church on Thursday, FRI
day and Saturday evenings of the coming
week.
This beautiful church so soon to be con-
secreted TO the worship Of God was erected

edifice of Rocky Farm stone with trim
mings of Long Meadow stone. The style
OF architecture is the Geometrical or
English Gothic of the latter part of
the thirteenth century. A low coping
surrounds the lot on which it stands and
when the grounds, which are being
graded, are in perfect order the church
and It's surroundings will be an ornament
TO the neig ghborhood and one more ad-
dition TO the many handsome church
buildings which already adorn Newport.
The main entrance TO the structure Is on
