THE POLICE MATRON,

We are very glad that our Board of Po-
 lice Commissioners have at last agreed to
 put matron into the police station, and
 that they have requested the women who
 have been so long petitioning them on the
 subject to choose the right person for this
 not very comfortable agreeable po- sition To find a kind, motherly woman
 of sufficient age and experience, who will
 go about her duties with quiet, unobtru- sive dignity, never meddling with com menting upon what does not concern her, who will be clear headed enough to see the limits of her own department and faith full, kind and courageous within it, will be no easy task. But sother cities have
 done it. Chicago has now twenty
 police matrons, Philadelphia nine and
 Wilmington, Baltimore, Rochester, Buffa-
 To, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Omaha, Denver New Orleans, San Francisco and many other cities have preceded us in this much-needed reform. From all these cit ies there have come to us most satisfactory accounts, everyone connected with the DO | lice force testifying to the advantages ot | the work and even of the mere presence ot | the matrons in the stations. But all say that everything depends upon finding woman fitted for the work and able to giv, l up her whole time to it. There will ofte1
 be quiet hours and quiet days for her, bu day or night she must be ready for th'

THE CONFIRMATION SCHEME.

The mayors scheme to confiscate the property of the Water company will come before the board of aldermen again this evening" It is to be hoped that it will be its last appearance. Nobody believes in it, there is no public interest in it, and no body of legislators, either for the city or State, would ever be unjust and regard less enough of the law and of private rights to adopt it. Moreover, it is illegal ly before the board It was not properly advertised and no notice such as the law provides for was served upon the company Of what use is it, therefore, to spend the time which should be occupied with the legitimate business of the city in consider ing a scheme which has no foundation in right or law? Furthermore, everybody at all acquainted with public opinion in this town knows that even if the scheme were proper and legal one there is no disposi- tion on the part of the taxpayers to put more burdens on themselves. Even a fair proposition to buy out the Water company would be voted down by at least three to one. What is the use, then, of trying to revive a corpse, snd that too by quack methods?

SMALL BoY-GREAT HEAD.
only Eight Years old and Net a Cyclo pedia of Things He Can't Forget.

From the Chicago Tribune.i
 Aurora is the home of a small boy not quite years old who can perform feats of mem ory that would have staggered Mnemosyre herself With unconscious ease he goes through complicated tasks of memory that a perfect master of the most elaborate system of mnemonics might well shrink from. The particular line in which his peculiar faculty is developed is in the memory of figures. Apparently any com bination of figures to almost any length he is able to fasten in his mind without spec ial effort, and to repeat weeks afterward without having given them any attention in the mean time. A favorite movement of the lad is to watch train of cars pass by, and after the single glimpse at the number of each car he will repeat the list of car numbers backward or forward in perfect order.
 Howard Zimlners is this lads name He | is the son of William Zimmers, q coal mer- chant The boys greeting to the Tribune's man gave characteristic illustration of | his faculty.
 ''Know this gentleman" the father asked.
 The boy left pile of blocks from which he was building a twenty-storied Masonic temple and answered the question with a negative shake of the head. ''You know where MT. Blank used to live." the father said. The boy remem- bered the house, which is long distance from his own. He had never been there except to pass by in buggy, nor had his attention been especially called to it.
 "What is the number of that house.''
 After a moments thought the answer came, ''No. 122."
 ''Now the gentleman lives in the house next south of that, :" said the father. "What is the number of his house1'
 t'No. 126."
 The boy was right with both numbers. The numbers on the adjoining houses skipped one between these two houses. He knew those numbers just as he knew the numbers of the whole street He had nev, CT made any effort to remember them, but remembered them simply because he had seen them. The boy was asked the mum bers of buildings all about the town, and il no case did he fail to give the correct mum bers.
 While the child went back to the build ing of his twentystoried Masonic tempt, his father told some interesting thing; about him.
 ''We noticed that Howard had an unus ual memory when he was not over year! old" he said. 'I think the first occurrence that attracted our attention was when WI got some of the small story books that ar' made for young children for him. 4 "After he had heard the stories two o' three times he would pretend to read iron the books himself, and not only would re peat long stories without the mistake of
 word, but would turn the page at exactl
 the right word, though he did not know letter of the alphabet. "We never thought their was anythin

Snakes fin the Dead Letter office.

Washington Correspondence of the St. Louis
 Globe Democrat
 A few years ago there came to the dead letter office tin can on which no address was found. The can was opened and six teen lively looking rattlesnakes made their escape There was a scene in the dead let ter office for a few minutes. Everybody got on the chairs and tables, and the rat tiers were left in full possession of the floor. Finally they were dispatched, and fifteen of them were pickled in alcohol. One was missing, but nobody knew it. It was supposed that fifteen were enough and that none had escaped. 4 few days later, one sunny afternoon, 8 long, sleek looking rattlesnake crawled from among the pa- pers in the chief clerks desk, and, unob- served, made his way to where a young lady visitor was sitting. His snakeship slyly crawled to her feet. The young lady noticed the intrusion, and hastily looking down saw the willy serpent, was mortified. and very properly tainted. The rattle snake offered no further insult nor injury, but lied in alarm. He was killed, and. ar tistieally incased in a glass jar. be now adorns the cabinet

 Delaware fruit growers are enthusiastic over the outlook for the peach crop. They mention 7,000,000 baskets. Usually at this time of the year the peach crop is ir- reparably ruined.
 No stockholder in corporation is al- lowed to have more than one vote, whether he owns one or all but one of the shares, by law enacted by the Indiana legisla- ture. What this curious law was made for doesn't appear, but of course it wont amount to anything.
 If cloth can be made out of fine spun glass it would seem simple matter to make it out of wood, and this is done by boiling strips of fine grained timber, crush ing them between rolls, carding the fila ments into parallel lines, as with ordinary textile material, and spinning them into threads, from which cloth can be woven | in the usual way.
 Several big manufacturing concerns in | Toledo, Ohio, have had to pay out so much money for injuries sustained by workmen that they are defending themselves against the employers liability law by taking out policies of insurance against accident and death in the names of their employees. It is estimated by the manufacturers that it will cost less to carry these policies than to stand the damages.

THE NEW ORLEANS HORROR.

THE NEW ORLEANS HORROR.
 The killing of the Italians in the New Orleans prison was a terrible affair, and there will be, of course, much difference of opinion concerning it. There has un- occasionally been very bad condition of things in that city, and this occurrence is direct result of disregard of law and order which has for a long time manifested itself in various ways. The character of the leaders of the avengers and the ap- proval of their dreadful work by the great business organizations of the city show that there was deep and general feeling that the law had failed and that direct and untrammeled justice was needed. It was done as orderly and coolly as possible under the circumstances. What it will lead to cannot be foreseen. Lynch law is @ dangerous thing. In this case it ex- presses the adherence felt by the Ameri- can people for societies of assassins.

Here you are. Every day the needle of the magnetic compass has been observed to sway first one way and then the other upon its pivot with no apparent cause, thus varying from the true meridian of a place. Scientists have for many years been trying to account for this. One of them has just published his theory of the cause of the disturbance. He ascribes it to electricity, assuming that the earth is whirling on it's orbit between two mag netic fields, and that the varying intensity of the current one way the other pro- duces the disturbance of the magnetic needle. The two magnetic currents, he believes, are streaming to us from the sun, one being produced by the carona, the other coming directly with the suns rays in straight lines. In other words, ac- cording to this theory, electricity is gen erated by the sun. It reaches us the same way as sunlight does, and the con- clusion is that it is akin to, if not identi- cal with, sunlight itself. The revolving earth is the gigantic dynamo which excites the electric currents and makes them manifest.

UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.
A Former EmplOye of the American Tea
Company of This City.

A Former EmPIOye of the American Tea
Company of This City.
James Quigley, the pugilist, killed
John Manning in a street fight in Wor-
cester, yesterday morning. Quigley is
now in Jail.
Manning was driver of wood cart
and was driving along the street when
he had some words with Quigley and a
companion who were standing on cor
ner. Manning got off his cart and the
two men engaged in fight, during
which Manning was knocked down,
striking his temple on the curb stone and
breaking his skull. He died in five min
utes.
Qui LEY is twenty.eight years of age
and was formerly employed by the
American Tea company of this city. He
was something of a pugilist and succeed
ed in knocking out Ed Mcdonald in a
fight near here about two years ago.
When in liquor he was very ugly, and
for some time there have been two war
rants at the New Haven police Office for
his arrest.
