of Himself and His Colleague.


Edward Mitchell held a short conference with
Mayor Strong In tho Mayors office yesterday
morning, but would not say what its result was
as affecting the proffer of appointment as Police
Commissioner made to him. The Mayor said
that Mr., Mitchell had not accepted his offer yet,
nor has he refused to accept the plnce. In fact,
II is understood that Mr.. Mitchell Is willing to
take tho place, but has been requested to with
hold his decision for a short time to what
action the Patt Republicans in the Legislature
will take.
Col. strong said that he did not care to discuss
the speech of Senator John Rnines in which the
Senator attacked him on tho floor OF the Senate

Police Hoard Against tho Hamilton Bill

On the motion of Commissioner Andrews tho
Police Board expressed its opposition yesterday
to the Hamilton bill now before the Legislature,
making legal grade of the rank of Rounds
man. Mr.. Andrews said that it was OF great
importance to the department that the Commits
sioners should retain tho power to remand
roundsmen who are found to bc incfi lent.
The Corporation Counsel was notified tina the
Board disapproyed of the bill on the ground that
1t takes away from the Commissioners an inI-
portant means Of discipline. Commiss oner
kerwin in speaking of the proposed measure,
said:

The Republican reform NewJersey Legislature,
which is now in recess until June. passed 4 law
taking from the Judges the power Of assigning
constables to duty in the courts and placed it
in the hands Of the Shcriffs. Sheriff To1fey of
Hudson county is said to have suggested the
change. He certainly used all his influence to
havo the law passed. The majority OF the con-
stables and all the Judges In Hudson county
are Democrats. The new law went into effect
at this term of court. which opened on Tuesday.
Yesterday Justice I.ippincott announced in
tho Circuit Court that hereafter constables in at
tendance In that court room will be paid only for
days of actual service when the court is in ses-
sion. Tho same rule will apply to the consta-
bles who are assigned to the Grand Jury. In
tho General Sessions court room Judge Hud-
speth announced that the expenses Of running
the courts arc altogether too great and must DO
reduced. He proposed to hurry through the
business of the term rs quickly as possible. and
aske the help of Assistant Prosecutor Noonan
in that. He said that c0nstables will be paid
only for tho days they are on duty. and only two
coastables will be needed on Saturday. Nearly

MY friends, says he, '"'tnere can De
scarce any hope at all if thou wilt not
hazard thy money for such prodigious
advantage. Then turning to Peter as
his last hope he asks in despair, what
shall we do, my brother?"
"We can keep ON a-praying, friend
Simon" replies Peter in a sniveling
voice.
"a blessed thought, " exclaims the
steward in glee. Surely that is more
righteous than to lay faith in our own
vain effort. So do thou, friend" turn
ing to me, "put thy money to this use,
for will none.
81 cannot do that, SIR" says 1,
without an assurance that Mrs. God
wins estate will bear this charge"
With wondrous alacrity Simon fetches
book with plan of the estate, where
by he showed us that not building on
the estate was untenanted not a single
tenant in arrear with his rent, and that
the value of the property with all de-
auctions made was 600, 900.
VERY good, sir" says l. "Now you
must give me a written note, stating
what you have shown, with your sane
ton to my making this venture ON Mrs.
Godwin's behalf, that may justify my
claim hereafter.
But this Simon strongly refused to
do, saying his conscience would not al
low him to sign any bond CLEARLY with
the hope that he might in the end shut
fle out of paying anything at alD, until
Don Sanchez, losing patience, declared
he would certainly hunt all London
through to find that Mr.. Richard God
win who was the next of kin, limiting
that he would certainly give us such
sanction as we required if only to prove
his right to the succession should our
venture fail.
This put the steward to new taking,
but the don holding firm he at length
agreed to give us this note upon Don
Sanchez writing another to the effect
that he had seen Mrs. Goodwin and her
daughter in Barbary and was going
forth to fetch them, that should Mr..
Thomas Goodwin come to claim the es-
tate he might be justly put off.
And so this business ended to our
great satisfaction, we saying to our
selves that we had done all that man
could to redeem the captives, and that
it would be no harm at all to put cheat
upon the misery steward. Whether we
were any way more honest than he in
shaping our conduct according to our
inclinations is question which trou-
bled us then very little.

rising and knitting his brows together
unpleasantly, "and especially to keep

With this he rings the bell for our
reckoning, and so ends our discussion,

with the cudgel fell upon his knees, as

snuffiing voice render thanks to heaven

On our way back to Greenwich we
staid at an inn by the road to refresh
ourselves, and there, having a snug par
lor to ourselves and being seated about
fine cheese, with each full measure
of ale, Don Sanchez asks us if we are
satisfied with our undertaking
AYE, that we are" replies Dawson,
nightly pleased as usual to be a-feast-
ing. "We desire nothing better than to
serve your honor faithfully in all ways
and are ready to put our hands to any
bout you may choose to draw up"
Can you show me the man, asks
the don, lifting his eyebrows contemp-
tuously, who ever kept treaty he was
minded to break? Men are honest
enough when naught's to be gained by
breaking faith. Are you both agreed to
this course?"
Eyes, senor," says L. land my only
conjunction now is that l can do so lit
tie to forward this business.
"Why, so far as can see into it, ="
says Dawson, lone of us must be cast
for old Mrs Goodwin if Moll is to be
her daughter, and you're filter to play
the part than l, for take it this old
gentlewoman should be of a more deli
cate, sickly composition than mine"
"We will suppose that Mrs. Goodwin
is dead" says the don gravely.
AYE, to be sure. That simplifes the
thing nightly. But pray, senior, what
parts are we to play?"
THE parts you have played today.
You go with me to fetch Judith Goodwin
from Barbary."
This hangs together and ought to
play we'll. Eth, Kit?"

ordinary course of things, an expedition
of this kind would take

"She can read anything, print or

flectively, "lived two years in Italy.
She would certainly remember some
words of Italian. Consider this-it is
not sufficient merely to obtain possess
sion of this estate. 1t must be held
against the jealous opposition of that
shrewd steward and of the presumptive
heir, Mr. Thomas Goodwin, who may
come forward"
You're in the right, senior. Well,
there's Kit, who knows the language
and can teach her that, warrant, in no
time"
Judith would probably know some
thing of music" pursues the don.
"Why, Moll can play Kits fiddle as
we'll as he"
"But, above ALL, continues the don,

RYNEs, RESIGNATION.
The Impression Gsnsral That He VIII
Continue in Office.

New York, Dec. 31.-The one topic of dis
cussion at police headquarters to-day and
in police circles generally was Supt.
Byrnes' action in placing his application
for retirement from the force in the hands
of Mayor-eIect Strong. Mr.. Byrnes' de-
nouncement of the police board and the
charges that he was hampered in the per-
formance Of his duties by the commits
sioners also caused considerable talk.
Everybody is wondering now what will be
the outcome of the present state of affairs
in this department. He declined to say
to-day whether or not, as is understood,
his letter to the mayor contained formal
appIication for retirement to the police
hoard. to be forwarded to that body or not.
as Mr.. Strong pleased.
The superintendent came down to his
office at his usual hour to-day. He re-
ceived during the forenoon many cal
Iers. who came to extend their good wishes
and all expressed the hope that he would
continue to be the superintendent of the
force when it is re-organized. Among
those who called were Col. Murphy and
ex-Capt. Greer, under whom Supt Byrnes
