sELERIDcE AND THE ADMIRAL.
One Version of the Troubles of the

NEWPORT, April 3.-Newspaper s. cores
opndents at Washington are making or at

forthcoming trial of Capt. t. o. Selfridge,
u. S. n, of this city, who, while command
ing the United States steamship Omaha at
the time the vessel was in Japanese waters,
gave orders for target practice, which re-
suited in the death of several of the natives
of village along the shore.
Capt. Selfridge ordered the firing to be
directed towards the shore, and one of the
shells fell just outside the village, which,
however, could not be seen from the ship,
the officers believing it was uninhabited
country. Soon after the firing, some Japs,
passing the spot where the shells remained
unexploded, discovered and examined them
and there were several funerals.
As soon as the report was made to Admi-
raj Chanler, commanding the station, he
suspended Selfridge and ordered him home
for trial, without communicating with the
Secretary Of the Navy For this, the Admi-
raj has been rebuked, directly and indirect

Police Matron.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Among the lecturers who address the In
ternational Council Of Women In Washing
ton last week was Mrs. Barney, of Provi-
dence, K. l.. national superintendent Of
prison, jail and police work Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Under the head Of police work she writes
sour union asks that in every city there
shall be at some central station. or at more
stations In the large cities, some woman with
full police authority, into whose hands every
woman arrested shall be given and cared for,
that care to extend to the courts; the mat
ron to 60 into the courts with the women
and protect them until sentenced or re-
leased"
1t may not be generally known to our cit
liens that this beneficent movement was be-
gun in Portland under the auspices Of the To-
cal union, in 1877. Within two years Prov
idence, r. L., followed our example, the May
or sending to us for our methods Of work.
Later the movement was inaugurated In
Chicago under the same auspices where dur
ing the first four months fifteen hundred
girls came under the care Of the matron at
the Harrison street station. The next year
the city adopted the movement and now they
have ten police matrons alternating day and
night between five stations, and they have
had eleven thousand women and girls under
their care. Philadelphia has increased the
number Of matrons since adopting the move
ment and has reported nine thousand under
their care, from three years and upwards.
In Massachusetts its success has been
great, a bill having posed for the appoint
ment of one or more matrons in all the larg-
er cities, nine in number. New YORK has
bill before its legislature which has been IA
vorably received, and bill Is now pending
in Congress for the appointment Of police
matrons in the city Of Washington.
Mrs. Barry closed her address with this
appeal. 1.-The women connected with this
work represent the busiest OF our 0rganiza-
tion, and cannot help laying a little part of
this burden on every woman's heart, by
seeking for the advocacy Oh q moVement
which has passed beyond experiment. Wom-

whom at least it can be truly said they have

child was her offspring, that she could bring
forth physicians certificates and abundant

that the child, when appealed to, could not

Sunday evening, Humphrey Phillips, SON

after the meeting started on foot to return to
their home upon the Portland road. When
they were in the neighb0rhood of Goose Fair
they noticed an animal In the middle of the
road ahead Of them, but thinking II was
dog, continued on. When a short distance
farther or they made the unpleasant discov-
cry that their further progress was disputed
by large, cat-like animal, which stood in
the middle Of the road, with glaring, green
ish eyes, actively lashing his tail and emit
ting occasional snarls. The pedestrians did
not stop to make very close inspection Of
the appearance Of the animal, but turned
back and hastened to the house OF Martin
Deering, without looking back to see II the
animal was pursuing them. Arriving there,
they related TO Mr.. Deering the cause OF
their flight, and armed with lantern and
clubs, and accompanied by some Of the
neighbors, they started again, and this time
reached home without seeing the animal.
Mr. Phillips says there Is no doubt that this
was the same animal that came past his

milton. The report of the committee favor
ing union was finally agreed to with sup
Elementary resolution declaring for the pres
