RETIRE-A TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY.
Two Brooklyn police captains have just completed
tho twenty years active service on the police force
that entities them retirement on half-pay. They
are Captain Henry French. for many years in charge
of the East New-York Precinct. and Captain Hugh
F German who succeeded Captain French In the
command OF the Seventeenth Precinct. Captain
French wilt retire from active service at the end of

Is on the point Of retiring.
The only thing that can prevent Captain French's
retirement is q techNcality. The record as 10 his
continuous service Is not complete. 1t was just
twenty years ago to-day. June 49, 1873. that Cap
