General Public Ignorant.

The general public. according to Col.
Cromwell, has no knowledge of the amount
Of work performed by the park watch
men. During the past year. 1t is pointed
out. they made 2S5 arrests, and the fines
imposed and collateral forfeited amounted
to s1,J0. In addition to the arrests made,
,421 drunken people and sos persons of
Objectionable character were elected from
the parks.
Col. Cromwell asks for an increase OF
$50 per annum in the pay of the first ser
geant of park police. The duties of that
officer. he says. are exacting and oner-
Gus as those performed by the sergealts
Of metropolitan police, while the pay of tie
latter Is 81. 40 per annum.
The engineer officer asks for a second
sergeant Of park police, at $500 per
mum. The one sergeant now in charge of
the force is overworked. 1t is explained.
During the day he has to ride his
bicycle over the whole city inspecting every
park policeman. and also inspecting the
outlying reservations not looked after by
the park policemen. He has to visit Col
Bromwels office every morning to make
his report and receive instructions; he has
to spend several hours a day at the Po-
lice Court several times a week, and in adj
dition he has to inspect the night police
men in the parks three times a week. An
increase of $40 per annum in the pay OF
the park policemen is asked.

Is Poorly Paid.

"The Washington park policeman" Col
Cromwell declares. "is probably the poorest
paid man in the United States who has po-
lice duty to perform. He has practically
the same duties the metropolitan police.
The same intelligence and physical quail
fications are required of him. His moral
character must be good; his discipline Is
much the same. He has as many arrests
to make as the average policeman. He
runs the same risks as to Injury from
vicious people as the man doing duty on
the street His duties are more exacting,
as half of his duty hours spent in
cautioning people about violating the rules
of the park and in looking after children.
He has a uniform to buy once year in
order to look neat; yet the pay of these
policemen is only $50 per month. Inc
city government requires the street rail-
way companies to pay their crossing ponce
officers S75 per month for a great deal less
eXacting and laboriouS duty. The lowest
grade on the metropolitan police force re-
ceive SIS per month, and the officers VINO
serve five or six years faithfully receive $50
per month For these reasons the increase
in pay asked is strongly recommended 1t
is also recommended that the designation
of these employees be changed from park
Waterman to park policeman.
Col Cromwell urges the appointment or
eleven additional park policemen for night
duty In parks where there are now no night
men. Those eleven parks nave now put
one policeman each, who patrols them but
eight hours out of the twenty-four. Those
policemen have in addition from five to
twenty outside reservations to look AFTER,
some of them nearly a mile distant. Their
hours of duty are generally from am. to
noon and from to pm. 1t is just as
necessary to have these parks patrolled
from noon to pm. and from to II p. m,
Col Bromwell says, as at any other hours.
During the off hours park loafers take ad-
vantage of the absence of the policemen to
do about as they please, and subject re-
suectable people to annoyance.

Nearly all the injuries suffered by

By Eugene Field.

An angel babe, with hairless head.
Came through the darkness creep
Ing:
And. waktng at the dawn Of DAY,
Bllss'percolated through me,
When, smiling in her arttess way,
She murmured, Papa to me
Strange. was it not? But stranger
still
What next claimed my attention
The robes. with wealth of tuck and
frill
Too numerous to mention;
Whence came these bihs, with lace
bedecked;
These Hannels all so handy?
And who could possibly suspect
The coming OF Miss Dandy?
Well, she shall live thousand years
Unmiudful of each morrow:
Her eyes shall know no plash of tears,
Her heart no touch Of sorrow:
And she shall dress in silk and lace
And feed on taffy candy:
God bless her fuzzy little face
My little angel Dandy.
