Jefrerson,s "Bob Acres.

Joseph Jefferson was playing Sheri-
dams comedy of "The Rivals" in Bos-
ton some time ago. His version OF the
play has been arranged in such way
as to give Bob Acres considerable more
prominence, perhaps, than the author
originally intended, occasionally at the
expense of the other characters. Will
lam Warren, the old comedian, sat the
play out, and at the conclusion was
asked: "How do you like Jefferson
Bob Acres?" Capital, capital" re-
piled Warren, and Sheridan twenty

DIR. PARkHURSTvS PLAN.
How the RefOrmer Would ReorEanixe
New YorlS's Police System.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-Dr. Parkhurst to-
day advised the following plan for the re-
organizat ton of the police force. He said .
"There is no division of public sentiment
as to the necessity for the reorganization
of the police department That necessity
is too manifest for argument. There are
two methods of reorganization. One is to
deal with each member of the present
force, each inculpated individual, by a
process of prosecutions weeding-out
process, which would probably reach its
completion about the beginning of the
twenty-first century, if each suspected
member of the force was subjected to an
investigation The other method is legis-
lation. And if the objection is raised that
the legislation method is drastic and that
membered that there is precedent for
the present condition of the police force
include in the bill of police reorganization a
clause to the effect that on or before a.
certain date, and that date not SO many
service of the existing force should expire,
and that commission say of five men,
should be designated by the Mayor to re-
should commence on the even date with
that of the expiration of the present force.
Every member of the existing force above
the rank of sergeant and. perhaps. in
Guiding that of sergeant, should be ineligi-
BILE for appointment on the reorganized
force. In reconstructing the force prefer
ence should always be given. with the ex-
ception above stated. to the members of
the present force, other things being equal
but in every instance the candidate for
appointment to the new force should be
dealt with Individually and judged accord
ing to his credentials and his record. The
five members of the commission should go
out of office forever on the day when the
Oh! old force expired and the new one began
