Police Matrons.

II is a shame to the city that the po-
lice board should hesitate in appointing
matrons at the police stations. We
beliete that it is owing to Gov. Hill
that the law authorizing the appoint
menis was made pcrmissive instead of
mandatory. But it is hard to under
stand what good reason could have in
ilusnced the executive judgment to
such conclusion. Mrs. Lowell, late
State commissioner Of charities, has
recently written to the board of police,
referring to the appeal made to them
bv body of most estimable women
some months since to make the APP
pointment-an appeal based upon the
ground that common decency demand
ed that drunken aud degraded women
should be removed from the sight and
hearing of the men and boys who are
held at the station houses.
That consideration alone was
enough, but experience has revealed
another reason which is even more
powerful. As Mrs. Lowell now saws
within two months. however, one OF
your officers has pleaded guilty and
been sentenced to imprisonment Tor at

Nothing can deepen the forcc OF

only one person in 100, 900 of both sexes
attains the age of 100 years, and only
six TO seven IN 100 the age of 60. The
total population of the earth is estimat-

Generally, taking the world, married
people live longer than single, and

than those who do not, while also the
average rate of longevity is higher
among civilized than uncivilized races.
Further, people Of large physique live
longer than those of small, but those
OF middle-size beat both. The proper
ton of married men to single is IS to

GLOVES AND SHOES.

according TO Harris Bros, So Broad
wav, who. as is we'll known, lead the
glove trade in America, undressed kid
has all its former prestige. -Four or
five buttons are the lengths for gener-
al wear. but the dealers Just alluded to
have introduced a new fastener which
is to be very popular. To fashionable
shoppers their establishment is attrac-
tive as ever, but purchasers OF modcr-
ate me ms find it an equally advantage
Gus resort since, as may be supposed.
all grades of gloves are kept IN spa
cious building devoted to the one pur
pose. As they supply tie trade almost
everywhere, their styles can readily be
obtained at home in many places, but
mail orders for ladies', gentlemen or
children are filled with conscientious
care.
Tan or gray slippers in undressed
kid or calf skin are most frequently
chosen by fashionable buyers. because
they match any dress and the gloves
as well, hut the fancy for colored slip
pers has by no means abated and pro-
duces much that is coquettish. The
Adons slipper has long vamp with
large buckle the sailor tie slip

per comes low on the instep without
vamp and may be worn plain or with
ornamentation of embroidery.

A BANDIT OF ToNQUIN.
Youthful Lun XIV and tho Vast Store q
Gold He Has Stolen.

Youthful Lun.Kv and tho Vast Store of
Gold He Has Stolen.
Lun-Ky is a desperate who loads a
bandit horde in the mountain Businesses
near Dong-trien, in Tonquin. He is
twenty years of age, is of commanding
stature and singular ferocity, and has
operated so actively during the last two
years as to have become an object of
terror throughout that part of the coun-
try. Unrequited love impeled the
youth to adopt this lawless life. Two
years ago he was reputable lad, ap-
prenticed to a saddler, and assiduous in
his attentions to the daughter of one of
the local magistrates. This girl, how
ever, suddenly welded an old and rich
neighbor, and Lun-Ky disappeared from
Dong-trien and blazed into notoriety as
the boldest bandit chief in Tonquin. 1t
is the ambition of the misguided youth
to acquire so great possessions as to 90
casion his old and tickle inamorata Sc
we're heart-burnings -..+.- -.
The riches which Lun-Ky has amassed
in two years exceed the bounds OF
credulity. Somewhat of dandy in his
tastes, he wears gorgeous silks and
feathers and covers his bosom with a
network of gold; his weapons are of the
finest quality and include in their cate
CORY jeweled scimeters, ebony-stock
carbines and ivory-hilted poinards.
Two months ago the brothers Rogue
and NJ. Costa, three Frenchmen tenn.
porarily residing in Tonquin, we're capt

Brif'aud, tho French Consul at Dong.

BrifYaud, the French Consul ut Dong.
trien. heard OF this outrage, he applied
himself industriously to securing the
release OF the captives, but the brig
ands, with whom intercourse was final
ly opened, demanded an exhorbitant
ransom, nor would they accede to any
compromise. One day, therefore. the con.
sui, accompanied by the village priest
and attended by an escort OF French
marines. repaired to the mountains.
bearing the required ransom. Having
reached lone spot, supposed to have
been about five miles from the bandit
camp. this little company was halted
before bamboo post upon which was
hung on inscription saying that the
troops must not 60 further without par
ley.
About this time Lun-Kv himself ap-
peared in the distance and announced
that the consul and the priest should
proceed together, leaving tho marines
behind. 1t was another Hobson's
choice, SO the troops remained and
tho consul and priest won't for
ward with the boasts bearing q ransom.
Reaching the assigned place, two miles
distant, the ransom was carefully in.
spected and counted. 1t consisted Of
| 100 pieces OF silk, twelve watches and
$50, 600 in coin. Lun.Ky objected to
the silk, because it was not, as he
complained, of tho best quality.
But the consul, speaking through
the priest as interpreter, represented
that the silk was the very best that
could be obtained in Tonquin. and
finally tho chieftain was persuaded.
Then the captives were delivered up,
the bandits, to the number OF 1000,
kneeling all tho while in circle, with
leveled rifles, ready to fire at the first
| signal. AS soon as the consul, the
priest and the released men disappeared
down the hillside the bandits struck
camp and made of with proper haste.
The ransomed men say that Lun-Ky
is reverenced by his fellow-bandits as
an inspired being, and that his author
| ity as chieftain is absolute. Lun-Ky
has kindly given it out that as soon as
the number Of his followers has reached
1000 he will swoop down upon his
native village, capture his old sweet
| heart and strangle her venerable hus'
band, first, however, cutting of the lat.
tors ears and nose, this being par
ticularly humiliating offense in China.
! This announcement has occasioned a
| distinct feeling of uneasiness in certain
Quarters.-Chicago News.
