though not under the jurisdiction Of tho
police authorities wear uniform similar
TO that Of the regular officers. wear q
badge exactly Ike the oitys shield, aud
are armed with the club. Whenever one
Of theee men DO anything which is con-
trsry 20 the rules, or violate common
decency, the regular officers get tue
blame and they do not like is
An instance In point. Saturday after
noon q pair OF very drunken men at.
tracted considerable attention on Front
street Ole OF the pair wore a police
mans coat, hat and badge and carried
tho baton. The sight vas by no means a
pleasant one and several who saw II were
about TO telephone into Chief Dolan
when they learned that the supposed
officer was merely night watchman on q

There Is now an effort being msds to
change the uniform Of the park guards
from blue to gray. so as to distinguish
