The POLICE MARION.
The Petition to be Pres tented to the
City Government.

A petition. asking that the appointment Of
the police matron may be left in the charge
of the Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, as heretofore, was handed to the Mayor
on Saturday, and will be presented to the
city government this evening. 1t has receiv-
ed the endorsement of the following names,
as we'll as of Oil others Gncluding ladies as
well as gentlemen and other names will be
sent in today:
Francis Fessenden, James p Baxter
III. j. Libby. William J.. Putnam,
Sidney w. Thaxter, Fred n Dow,
Albion Little, William Senter,
Charles H. Libby, j. w. Deerng,
George Walker PercIval Bonney
William H. Looney, Samuel j. Anderson,
George s. Hunt William Henry Clifford,
William G, Davis, II. ii. Shaw,
Henry c. Peabody, Seth H. LarraDee,

ID. W. Clark, II. M. PaysOn,
Mark p. Emery, w. f. Mllllken
George p. Wesc0tt, Philip Henry Brown
A A Strout H. N. Jose,
Nathan Cleayes. William WI Thomas.
In presenting this petition, the ladies have
carefully avoided all personalities. The ar
gument has been that If the position of po-
lice matron should become merely paid city
political office, subject to the change of each
administration, the chances would be that
the woman would be selected without any
special fitness for the position, that the
claims of women who needed pecuniary aid
would be constantly urged, and the Office
might also be diverted from its original pur-
pose. In contrast TO this, the increased val
ne of the position to the city is apparent,
when the matron is selected by an organiza-
ton of women, pledged to reformatory work
and the services rendered at the police sta
ton are supplemented by the society in
reaching into the homes and among the fami-
lies of the unfortunates under sentence. 1t
would certainly seem reasonable to assume
that society which originated this position,
has judiciously selected a matron for eleven
years, has paid nearly one-half the yearly
salary, and has faithfully carried on the
work, would understand the needs of the
place and be better prepared to name the
woman best fitted for the position.

1t tones the digestion. 1t overcomes debility. 1t
builds up the whole system. Try it this spring.

be obliged to raise my board with every other
boarder that takes Hoods Sarsaparilla.'
