UNJUsTIFIABLE ARRESTS.

In their eagerness not to subject them
selves to any more charges OF neglect OF
duty the police have invented a new
crime. They arrest women who are
found in the streets at night, and enter
against them a complaint for 'loitering."
II belated female rests for a moment
on the sidewalk, policeman pounces
down upon her and accuses her Of
lettering"
1t is no offense for a woman to be
out after dark. She has just as much
right to be In the streets at night as a
man has, provided she behaves herself
Certainly there is no such offense as
"loitering" mentioned in the Criminal
Code. Justice Ryan so instructed a po-
llceman who had made four such arrests,
and when the prisoners were arraigned
before him yesterday he promptly dis
charged them, warning the officer to be
careful whom he deprived Of liberty.
The Justice said truthfully that II is
terrible thing for a respectable woman
TO be arrested unjustly and taken
through the streets as a disreputable
character. and the disgrace can never
be effaced from her memory. Surely
the police ought to be better instructed
in their duties than to invent crimes
| unknown to the law.

"COON HOLLOW"

The play at the Fourteenth Street
Theatre deserves "a much better name
than that which has been assigned to 1t.
| Coon Hollow" is neither a pretty nor
romantic title, and 1t requires some
courage to tackle a play that Is so ham
dicapped. 1t Is described as a romantic
comedy" by Charles Il. Callahan, but 1t
Is merely one of our old melodramatic
friends In a new garb.
While absolutely conventional and I'M
! new. Coon Hollow" pleases. 1t is in
| teresting and 1t Is thoroughly human.
The characters are neatly sketched and
many OF the felicitous touches that made
Blue Jeans" famous are to be found in
this much more modest little work. OF
course. II Is not as attractive an affair
as Mr.. Arthurs effort, but 1t contains
good material for the road. and may be
| one of the melodramatic money-makers
OF the season. Sitting through this play
| and noting the old familiar types-the
villain. the adventures. the soubrette
and the hero-one Is inclined to wonder
why the attention Is held. as 1t undoubt-
eddy Is held. Certainly the interest Is
not due to the clap-trap climax OF the
first act, or to the bursted-dam affair of
the second. Even the somewhat unne-
cessary steamboat race of the third act
will not account for the magnetism of
the play. I've seen a few hundred melo-
dramas-more or less--all containing the
Coon Hollow types. Yet I enjoyed
this production In spite of all Its glar-
ing defects, Its crudely introduced spe-
cialties and its darby quartet-and II
anything could spoil theatrical evening
for me 1t is n quartet of any sort.
The strength of Coon Hollow" lies in
its humanity. Georgia, the roadside
violet" Is flesh and blood, and Clyde
| Horrod, the mountain thistle" is a
living being. Diogenes Sharp Is funny
| and is not overdrawn, and Lem Stock
| well lis a real and pulsative man. 1t
Is the characters that make the play
pleasing. To be sure, they are forced
through those irritatingly conventional
episodes that CRATE upon the nerves of
the accustomed theatre-goer, but their
truth saves them, and they are refresh
ing.
The play Is admirably acted, by peo-
pie unknown to New York-a state of
things that is not usual. Miss Floy
Crowell. whom have never seen before
plays an adventures In way that
Is worthy of the Lyceum or Days
She Is artistic, finished and worth study
ing. while the soubrette part, inter
preted by Louise Hamilton. Is capitally
done. The little lady has surprising
power. l don't know who she is-nevel
even heard Of her before, but I hope
l shall see her again. Lester Lonergar
distinguished himself. and Miss Louis,
Arnott. although she looked a trife too
youthful for the part gave an excellen
performance. 1t Is the unexpected tina
happens. As I glanced through the cast

favorites," which shows how foolish |

MISPLACED CAUCUS RULE.

A Constitutional Convention Is the
very last body in which the iron rule OF
party caucus ought to be enforced. The
delegates to such a Convention are in
trusted with work vitality affecting
every interest in a State, and intended
to last for years. Its results are not
like the doings of a legislative session.
which may be reversed in twelve
months or changed II found in conflict
with the public interests. They lay
down the fundamental principles to
which all legislation must conform. and
regulate the whole policy OF State for
many years to come. However object
tionable they may prove. 1t takes some
time before they can be altered, even
II the people set about the work at once.
It is inconsistent to compel the dele
gates in such body to surrender their
own ideas and convictions of what is
right and for the benefit OF the State
at the dictation of a party caucus. con-
trolled not by the delegates themselves,
but by outside bosses and machines.
The Democratic minority in the body
at Albany are right in fighting against
this outrage to the bitter end and In
making their opposition so strong as to
impress upon all fair-minded citizens
its enormity.
The majority OF the Convention has
from the start shown a determination
to make its proceedings partisan. But
the caucus rule in matters Of the most
vital interest Is a Gaping Of the climax.
The caucus Is ruled by Mr.. Plat. and
what sort Of constitution can the peo-
pie expect from the hands OF that re-
suscitated boss7
The Republican propositions for the
government OF cities now under consider
alton may be all right. But the dele
gates ought to be left to vote on them in
accordance with their own convictions
and not under the compulsion Of a party
caucus. The fact that a caucus Is pro-
posed proves that Republican opposition
exists.
The people have to vote on the Consti-
tuition as amended, and its rejection
seems now highly probable.

A CONTRAST.

Representative William L. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, who labored at the risk
OF his life on the task of carrying out
the wishes of the people In the Tariff
bill, and whose work was so admirably
performed. met a perfect ovation yes
terday at Martinsburg on his return to
his constituency.
Because Mr.. Wilson in his patriotic
desire to make n law for the advantage
of the whole nation bravely ignored the
selfish demands OF local interest 1t
was predicted that he would be received
coldly at his home. But the people
greeted him like conquering hero,
dragging him In a decorated carriage
through the streets, bearing him on
their shoulders and giving other extrav-
agant demonstrations of their enthusi-
astic approval of his course. They re-
nominated him by reclamation for n
seventh election to Congress, and they
severely denounced the traitorous Sena-
tors who partially defeated his work.
What a contrast this presents to the
condemnation showered on German In
his own State and to the popular indlg-
nation everywhere manifested against
Brice. Smith and the other boiling Dem
ocratic Senators. Yet this is only tn,
beginning OF the end.

How Scissors Are Made.

Though no complexities are involved
In the making of scissors or much skill
required, yet the process of manufac-
ture Is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness. each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal Ito form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow. or that which later on ia
fastened into the holding portion. For
the bow a small hole is punched, and
this is afterwards expanded to the re-
quired size by hammering It on a conf
cal anvil, after which both shank and
bow are filed in a more perfect shape and
the hole bored in the middle for the
rivet The blades are next ground, and
the handles filed smooth and FURNISHED
with oil and emery, after which the
pairs are fitted together and tested as to
their easy working. They are not yet fin
ished, however. They have to undergo
hardening and tempering and be again
adjusted, after which they are finally
put together again and polished for the
third time. In comparing the edges Of
knives and scissors 1t will be noticed, of
course, that the latter are not In any
way so sharply ground as the former,
and that, in cutting, scissors crush and
bruise more than knives.

BON JOUR, MR.. PRESIDENT.

President Cleveland left Washington
yesterday to enjoy a holiday with Mrs.
Cleveland and the babies at Gray

every honest citizen In the land will
hope that he may enjoy It. The party,
which included our gallant War Secre-
tary Lamont and Private Secretary
Thurber. travelled In the private car OF
President Roberts. OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Only q short time ago a certain set of
people affected Indignation that Presi-
dent who received n good salary from
the people for four years services
should have the audacity to leave Wash
ington at all during his term. and some
anti-Cleveland maniac il still found
who raves whenever the President gets
aboard a United States vessel for a
fishing or shooting trip. But as a rule
the folly Of supposing that the Chief
Executive Of the nation should be de-

The Swedish girl who looks into her
glass by candle-light risks the loss Of
her lover. A universal superstition
which has found its way even to our
own prosaic time and country, forbids
a bride to see herself in a mirror after
her toilet is completed. In Warwick
shire and other parts of rural England
1t was long the custom to cover all the
looking-glasses in a house of death. lest
some affrighted mortal should behold
in one the pale and shrouded corpse
standing by his side. Superstitions Of a
less ghostly character cluster around
the mirror and are familiar to US all.
To break one is everywhere an evil
omen. "Seven years trouble, but no
want" follow fast upon such mishap
in Yorkshire, while in Scotland the
cracking of looking-glass, like the
falling of the doomed mans picture
from the wall. is a presage of approach

Speaking sIishtinsIy of Women.

When man Is heard to speak
slightingly of women, rest assured that
there is "a screw loose" somewhere.
Such unfortunates deserve very often
the pity as well as the contempt Of
their Disguised auditors. A story Is
told OF one Of these people that is good
enough to be repeated here. At a
large dinner recently, where women
were present, to the inevitable toast of
Women" one of these men responded.
He dwelt entirely upon the weakness of
the sex, claiming that the difference be-
tween the best and worst was only a
question of environments and opportu-
nifty. At the close of his remarks one
Of the guests arose and said, quietly:
II trust that the gentleman. in the ap-
plication of his remarks, referred to his
own mother and sisters. and not to
ours" The man must be inhumanly
hardened who could not feel the sting
