HURRYING POLICEMEN.
BR0UGHr FROM THEIR HOMES BY
1HE SOUNDING or RIOT GALE.
Mayor Potter Tried to Send Out Call.
bus was Compelled to Get Deputy
nm to Assist.

There was great excitement last night
when the " riot call " for the police was
rung Ia on the fire bells, and for time IL
seemed as though the whole city had lost
its head The eleven strokes on the bell
sounding twice In rapid success
sion startled the pedestrians. and
the sight Of blue-coated officers
rushing like mad through the streets
caused no little anxiety among the timid.
Some at once jumped to the conclusion
that the striking weavers at Olneyville
had, driven TO desperation, commenced
war on public property, aud as conss-
quence were agreeably disappointed when
the truth was astertained.
No, it was not call to subdue rioters
but simply a test OF the day officers on
the police force. and none were caught
mapping.
AT $50 O'Clock last evening Mayor Pot
ter stole silently up 60 the box at Station
&. He was alone and seemed desirous of
keeping his movements shady. He opened
the outside door of the box and then
with quick glance about, attempted TO
oIe the inner door, but without avail.
Then, finding that he could not ring the
call from that box the mayor
went into the station and conferred
with Deputy Chief Hill of the fire depart
ment by telephone. The mayor ordered the
official to ring in the alarm. but the deputy
seemed averse TO ringing the call until
the firemen had been notified. At this the
mayor became indignant and it was but
moment before the alarm commenced
TO sound.
Then the patrolmen commenced to hus-
tie and at each station the arrivals were
timed. AT the central station the officers
responded quickly, the first one, Officer
Gardner, arriving in six minutes.
At the other stations the arrivals were
prompt one man covering four miles in
side Of twenty-three minutes.
The plan TO sound the riot call was the
outcome of q consultation between Chief
Child and Mayor Potter yesterday, and
no one else had any inkling Of the
plan. The success attending
the calling out OF the police was entirely
satisfactory to the mayor and chief, and
displays positively that the officers of the
Providence Police department are equal
90 any emergency.

LONG CLoAK-FUR TRIMMED COAT.
of black satin, lined with ermine, t-d
front being turned back as revers. The
skirt of this coat flares at the back. This
same model is attractive in less expensive
material.
A stylish long cloak is one that fits the
figure snugly and has the seams braided.
1t is finished with fur collar and deep
cuffs.
Fur collarettes on cloth coats and capes
are among the new ideas. Usually when
the garment has fur collarette it also
is bordered with fur. Ottoman cloth is
claiming considerable attention and in
golden brown is well worth considering
In this shade it is made up in capes and
coats that are as handsome as any shown.
Coats with added basque have the seam
some three or four inches below the
waist line. On fancy coats the seam is
hidden under the elaborate jet and braid
girdles. On palmer wraps the seam is
left uncovered.

Caro- of the Nails.

The best way to manicure ones own nails
is first to soak the finger tips in warm water
for few minutes then press back with the
blunt end of the file the cuticle which
grows over the base of the nail and snip il
off with the points of the scissors. This
must be done with care not to mutilate the
skin. Every trace Of dirt should be re-
moved with nailbrush and hot water and
soap, and the nails cut close at the sides,
but left rather long in the middle, not
pointed, but rounded into the desired fl
bert shape. Next the edges of the nails
should be filed smooth, when little bit of
the pink powder may be applied To each
nail, which is finally polished with the
chamois sskin.-philadelphia Press.

put off and on. Capes, by the by, are an
important rival of coats, and are made
in a great variety of fabrics and of vary
ing lengths. The cape especially com
mends itself when the wearer is her own
dressmaker, for with a good pattern a
woman of taste can make a cape with
far less labor than she could possibly cut
and make coat or cloak. When de-
signed for street wear only, the cape is
generally finished with collarette or
bertha ruffle, but if designed for travel
ing or wearing out in the evening it may
be finished with silk lined hood that
can be drawn up over the head. This
style of cape is especially adapted to
ocean travel or other occasion when a
hat or bonnet is an inconvenience.
Large cloaks of thick, soft woolen ma
terial, lined with silk or farmers satin
and trimmed with fur, are also worn.
These are decidedly comfortable for oc-
casions when there is to be long expo
sure to the weather. When money is no
object, a handsome coat is one composed
