THE POLICE uGYM."
A Movement in the Direction of th
PhYsioal Cnlture Of tho Force.

A Movement in the Direction of the
Physical Culture of the Force.
A determined effort is being made
by the First Precinc policemen to
establish police gymnasium. The
advantages of ch an institution are
manifest. If lie police were taught
how use hei sts more there
would be fewer Instances Of prisoners
being brutally c,ubbe into submis-
sion. Anent the subject, Colonel
Moore, Superintendent of Police, said
TO CRITIC reporter yesterday after
noon when asked what he thought of
the movement: "This movement has
been started in the First Precinct,
and as the men themselves pay for
the material, IL is as yet confined TO
that police command. AS there are
no funds from any appropriation of
Congress that can be applied TO
this purpose, the entire expense must
necessarily be borne by the men of
that precinct, and in this they are
displaying commcndable energy.
Their duties, it is true, give them all
the necessary pedestrian exercise,
but their desire is to have that kind
of physical training which will enable
them to cope with roughs. They have
banded together and purchased some
apparatus and made Il beginning. They
know full well that they should be
able in every way to handle the most
desperate of characters, with whom
they are liable to come in contact at
almost any time, and there * neccs-
sity that they have opportunities TO
render themselves thoroughly capable
to cope with the peculiar classes they
are expected TO watch.
"a policeman should be lively and
active and know when to use his
baton, his revolver, his fists or his
feet. A priZcIighter trains for weeks
or months for single contest that
may last fifteen minutes or an hour.
But policeman may have almost
daily to meet and overpower just such
people, who devote much attention to
acquiring muscular perfection.
"This step of the officers of the
First Precinct is move in the right
direction. Having no help from Con-
gress, these enterprising officers de-
termined to help themselves, and !
believe the results will be beneficial
not only to the men, but also to the
whole community.
"There should really be a thor.
oughly-equipped gymnasium for the
whole force, where the men should be
compelled to devote certain time to
exercise regularly. Policemen are Ii
able at any time TO be placed in a po-
sition where presence of mind, com
bined with physical force, is brought
into requisition. In many large cities
facilities are afforded and require
ments are made to adapt policeman
to his arduous, dangerous and respon.
sible duties. There is not now in the
Police Department place where men
can be drilled even in small bodies
Nor is there even a place where pisto
practice can be held without danger
This last would be valuable aid to pc
lcemen. 1t is really n necessity tina
| proper accommodations be furnished
in order that the men of the force may
be properly drilled to meet any anC
| every emergency"

"The old style minstrel bands gave
very different shows from the kind
seen now. In the first part the COM
pany used TO dress as dandy Northern
niggcrs, and the singing was ballads
and songs much as at present The
second part was madoup of plantation
scenes and songs the company being
dressed in checkered shirts and rough
clothes, and singing plantation songs

Jokes after he has learned them by

but many minstrel men do it. There
is one class of minstrel men who
make me very tired-it is the men
who steal another's jokes. If il is
anything long and not easily remem-
bered, they hire a stenographer to go
to the show and steal the joke or
stump speech, or whatever it is,
bodily.

ccpt our view, could be seen thcmoun-
tains of Moab a portion OF the Dead
Sea, the walls, towers and gates of the
city on its southwestern side, the cem-
eteries of the Armenians, Copts and
Greeks, a shed-likc marble building,
containing the tombs of the Armenian
ratriarchs, and the various Chapcls
connected with the convent.
Making our way past an single olive
tree, inclosed by n railing, which was.
as Mahomet informed us, the identical
tree to which Christ was bound by the
soldiers, whilst waiting to be brought
before the high priest Annas, we en-
tered very fine chapel said to be
built on the site of the beforc-named
high priests palace. We were very
much struck by the costlincss Of every
thing that surrounded us. Rich,
though somewhat differently exc
cuted oil paintings from those of the
great European. masters, adorned the
walls; the floor was of pure white
marble, interlaid with mosaic work;
the altar, with its candelabra and rich
ornaments, was grandeur in itself.
The patriurch's chair--a finely gilded
one-in the chancel; three stones
brought from different sources, viz,
from Mount Tabor, Mount Sinai and
the place Of Christs baptism on the
Jordan, and large painting repre-
senting the Slaughter of the limo
cents" occupied our chief attention.
THE HEAD OF ST. JAMES.
Passing down the left aisle we were
shown niche containing shrine, in
which is preserved, so tradition says,
the head of st. James, who was be-
headed by order of Herod the Great
Precious as this preserved head may
be, the sight of it is hardly relishable
To view, for long, brass urn let into a
marble slab, and filled with concealed
blood and what looks like piece Of
raw beef, tightly marled down, is cal
culated to make hungry man feel as
if he had been overlooking his
| stomach.
After leaving the chapel and pursu-
ing Il winding pathway for some dis
tancc, we found ourselves in front of q
very old and peculiarly shaped fiat
rooted stone building, said to contain
the Coenaculum, or room where Christ
originated the Sacrament. The in
terror of this room is in a very neg.
lected condition, being devoid Of fur
niture or decoration of any description
unless three red stone pillars, sur
mounted by four Saracen-looking
arches, which formed the supports
of the roof, can be called decorations.
The plaster on the walls seemed to
have fallen off in large patches; the
floor was the bare ground, and alto
gether its appearance suggested ruin
without any kind of an effort being
made to stay it. Besides the Las
Supper room, the building contains, il
Mahometan tradition be correct, and
it seems to be on or about at a par with
ours, the tomb of David.

cakes, riccs, and everything eatable-
are the rage. They are costly, like all
RACES. The gifts which are presented
to the guests are valuable, and they,
with the flowers alone, would cost
enough to furnish food a month for
twenty poor families. Dinners almost
rival those of ancient times, when
canaries' tongues were the commonest
dish, and each person tries to outshine
the other. So it goes, and the people
who give these grand entertainments
are not half SO happy or contented as
the farmers wife, whose neighbors
come TO tea and bring their knitting.
Pinking as finish is now the fash
ionable trimming for every material
that will bear it. The very pretty
and simple walking gown we show
below depends for its grace upon the
deep pinked out scollops at the bot
tom Of the fronts. The model of this
suit was travelling and street cos
tune taken from the trousseau of Miss
Van Auken, the granddaughter of the
well-known old "Commodore Garri-
sion. The front breadth was of
salmon. colored ladies cloth, and the
rest in dark blue of the same mate
rial, the waist being laid in bias folds
of blue and gray, with one narrow
stripe down the middle of salmon
color. The directoire hat is of blue
velvet with gray velvet bows. The
figure beside it represents one of the
newest agonies in wraps. 1t is of
plaid wool, trimmed with drab velvet
and ribbons. The hat with this is
trimmed in scarlet.
The last two figures represent dressy
and handsome toilettes for home wear.

SPRING SUITS FOR ECONOMICAL LADIES.
Thousands of women do just so.
They visit every store in the city to
find just what will please their fancy,
or that which is cheapest, and then
they hate, snub and often elbow and
almost openly insult other buyers.
tits, and always has been, wonder
TO me how women can pay such eX-
travagant prices for things which their
own common sense, that is, if they had
any, would tell them were not worth
one-tenth what is asked. No wonder
that men go crazy and commit suicide
or retreat to Canada when their wives
pay $75 for bonnet, as saw woman
do yesterday
1t was bonnet made of blue velvet
with tiny silver stars embroidered all
over it, and q brim at least twelve
inches out over the face. The trim
ming consisted of shaded plumes, q
silver arrow and n rosette of point lace.
Seventy-fve dollarsl How many a
woman could have an entire costume,
and pretty one, too, on far less than
| that and feel proud of it.
This week l present the newest and
prettiest styles for making upthe new
spring dress goods, the models being
| chosen for their easy adaptability to
any material, from calico to silks and
velvets The hustle, it will be seen,
has diminished one-half. We must
be thankful for small favors, you
know.
The sateen costume is really very
pretty. The model is of maroon
sateen trimmed with imitation Irish
| point lace, laid on fiat, with n simu-
lated vest of plum-colored velvet, AT
the back the drapery is gathered high
and ample, and wide sash of the same
| is looped and falls in two ends. This
suit can be worn as dressy house
gown or can be worn with equal pro-
priety in the street, and handy young
iady,with the excellent fitting patterns
to be purchased nowadays, canmake

TRAGEDY AT BRADFORD.
A Bold Assault Upon the Cashier OF

At about IL o'clock Tuesday morning q
masked man named Kimball entered the
Bradford National Bank with a revolver
in his hand, and when midway between
the paying teller's and discount clerks
desks, nimbly jumped over the high glass
partition and made grab for the money
on the cashiers desk. The suddenness of
the affair paralyzed the clerks, but Cashier
Tomlinson rushed from his private office
and seized the robber. AS he did so he
received q ball from revolver in the
hands of the villain over his left hip, go
ing clear through him and coming out
over the right. He dropped and the rob
Der escaped at the front door with the
money and ran down a side street.
"The report of the revolver attracted a
crowd and a number of citizens started in
pursuit. Kimball (the robber) ran some
distance, when he turned on his pur-
suers and shot A. l.. Bleich, butcher,
in the abdomen, intlicting q dangerous
wound. He then placed the revolver to
his own head and fired. The ball en-
tered at the temple and killed him in
stantly The stolen money was found
in an inside pocket of rubber coat which
he wore.
"Tomlinson and Bleich are fatally hurt
and cannot live. Kimball was about
twcnty-eight years old, and was former
employe of producing firm. He was
recently injured on the Erie road, near
Stamburg, in an accident, for which he is
said to have received several hundred
dollars damages, since which time he has
been here drinking heavily. He was for
merly a real estate agent in Garden City,

GOOD BOOKS.

AS sky that has no consultations
As country unwatered by brooks,
AS house that is empty of kindred
Unillumined by loving looks,
So dull is the life of the people
Who know not the blessing of books.
Good books are the best of companions,
They help us to see with the eyes
OF the great ones in ages historic
Dead saints at their bidding arise
From the moss-mounded grayeyards to
teach us
That the truth which is lived never
dies.
Good books are the kindest of neighbors,
They help us to know one another;
They show how the words man" and
woman
Have always meant "sister' and
brother"
So they fan to life feelings fraternal
That the dust of the worlS-day might
smother.
The books that we cherish are human,
They are written from heart unto heart;
Now they move us to singing and laugh
ter
Now they cause the warm tear-drop to
start.
We feel, as we read their fresh pages,
10y lllt lOot-blNdlll VI AONI blbhh ipdAN
Good books are an inspirations
A spirit within stirs their leaves
With the sigh of a burden prophetic,
That warns and reioices and grieyesi
And the ear that is open to hear IL
The word of the vision receives.
Good books-who can measure their bless
ing
Tell how ii begins, where ii ends?
How they interweaye Past Present,
Future,
Until Time with Eternity blends
They are more than companions and
neghbors;
Good booksare the truest of friends,
Good books-they who build them n

Aplace among people to stay

Our best beneiaCtors are they

Have just Been Found.
The statement that the remains Of Alex
ander the Great had been discovered in
one of the sarcophagi recently exhumed
in the Orient has excited considerable
interest in scientific circles.
Tradition has it that the remains OF
Alexander the Great were inferred in u
golden coffin, and the coffin is now on
exhibition in the British Museum. This,
however, is impossible if the latest story
is true.
A CRITIC reporter this morning asked
one of the National Museum sayants,
"Do you credit the report that the re-
mains of Alexander the Great have been
found by the expedition sent out by
Ayeshag'
''NO, can hardly say do. 1t is posi-
