ENCAMPHENT POLICE
UNDER SPECIAL RULES
Similar to Those Issued for
Inauguration.
Major Sylvester Makes Public the
Plans Submitted to the G. A. r.
Committee.

| Major Sylvester yesterday afternoon
made public the rules and regulations
to govern the force of policemen to be
assigned to duty during the G. A. R.
encampment. These rules were sub
mitted Wednesday night to meeting
of the public order committee. They
are similar to those issued during the
inaugural ceremonies, and are as fol-
lows:
Special privates possess all the pow
ers conferred upon members of the
Metropolitan police force and are sub
| ject to the regulations governing the
same.
They are charged with preventing
and detecting crime and maintaining
peace and good order.
| They will be assigned to beats or
| special detail. and are expected to obey
| instructions given by superiors. who
will be members of the regular force.
Under Strict Rules.
while on duty they are enjoined
against neglecting the work in hand
entering barrooms or places where
liquors are dispensed, except in line Of
duty, and a violation of these rules will
be followed by immediate removal
1.-The drinking of intoxicants Or ap
of liquor will be cause for summary dis
charge.
Courteous and respectful conduct is
expected on their part, but firmness
should be shown at all times.
1.-The baton Is to be used for self
defense, and maltreatment Of prisoners
or others will not be tolerated.
They should remember that they are
under orders, and therefore be prompt
in reporting on and off duty.
"They should read all printed IN
structions carefully and answer all ques-
tions civillv.
Where a command will not restore
order they should arrest those who are
disorderly.
Should Never Argue.
They should never argue question,
refrain from talking back, preserve their
temper, pay no attention to asid, re-
marks, and thereby avoid trouble.
They should aid the sick UT injured
by taking them to the nearest drug
store. ambulance. or hospital, and, If
necessary. summon physicion.
When on a beat they should give
close attention to doors, windows alley
ways and rear entrances. The appre-
hension of burglar or thief will en-
title the special private making the ar
rest to proper recognition for meritori-
Gus service.
1T does not speak well for an officer
to bsseen talking with citizens or 9TH
ers. He should patrol his beat slowly
but closely. Very often while the po-
iiceman talks the thief is at work.
Direct them specially as to the To-
cation of ambulances and patrol wagons
during parades
1T is to a mans credit If he makes a
good record as special private. They
should be reminded that they are all
under close supervision.
"They should understand that the
drivers for foreign legations wear dis
tinct badges and that passes bearing the
signature of the Superintendent OF Po-
lice during parades must be respected.

Major and Superintendent"

SHORT STORIES FROM
THE SMALL AD. PAGE

frooaoly no medium is SO prolific In
the promotion of belief in the inborn
honesty OF the human race as the small
ad. page OF the daily papers The lest
ana found columns of such papers as
The Times are tie daily medium through
which lost property and its owner g
again brough. together.
An instance Of the effect OF one Of
these small advertisements is to pe
found In the expe-ience of the secretary
OF one OF the large beneficial organ'za-
tions with eh international reputation.
After purchasing draft on London;
England. for $50 to be sent to the home
office of the society. he started for ris
postofice, only 20 find on striving there
that he had lost both the letter and the
draft. 1t was then after banking hours,
and inserting a small ad. under tie head
of Lost ard Found" he returned to Els
home.
The following morning. after opening
his pail, he went to the banker from
whom he had secured the draft TO have
payment on 1t stopped. He had not half
finished his story when the banker pro-
duced the missing draft and said that
the gentleman who had brought IL n
in response to the advertisement had but
moment before left the banking hou.e.
No reward had been offered ind Il wat
only one Of those daily acts of gracious
ness that induced the finder to go out
Of his way to place the property In the
hands Of the rightful owner.
1t is the invariable practice Of Cap
tain Boardman and his men. when any
article is reported missing. unless there
are undisputable evidences of theft. to
recommend that an advertisement be in
serted in the papers. Furthermore. as
result Of experience. they are compelled
to state that occasionally better results
are obtained IL small reward is offered.
