REGARDING SPECIAL OFFICERS.
Chief Doian Suggests That the City Bave
Reserve Force.

Chief Dolan Suggests That the City Bave
Reserve Force.
Chief Of Police Dolan suggested 10 the
Police Commission at its meeting last
evening that Eve or six special officers be
employed to do speciai work. That Is, IL
often occurs that officers are wanted to
watch burned buildings, 10 guard
pecisl gatherings etc,
: The officers are paid by the private
..arties for the work done. On the fol.
lowing day, II the officer docs extra duty
at night, be needs rest and has to be
excused for few hours. Thus the city
loses his work for that time and he Is also
without snap and vim. The chiefs idea
was that the city should have some
special officers who should be clothed
with the same authority as police officers.
These men could be detailed on special
duty and paid by private parties and not
by the city. The city would thus get
the proper service out Of It's officers.
The commission was much Impressed
with the suggestion and referred ths
matter TO the chairman, who will consult
the act creating the commission and hnc
out il such privilege is granted by that
law.
The chief Of police was directed I,

south American Wheat.

The exports of wheat from Buenos
Ayres during the three months end
ing March 81 were over 1000, 900
bags, more than double those for the
corresponding period of the previous
year, and when it is considered that
1893 was the greatest wheat year in
the history Of the Argentine Repub-
lie it means great deal. The total
exports of wheat to Europe and Bra
iii, last year, surpassed 1000, 600
tons, and for the present year the ex-
ports are expected to exceed 2,000,-
900 tons In Uruguay, across the
river, the same conditions exist, and
the crop is so large that the railways
cannot furnish sufficient cars to haul
it to tide-water. A private letter
says that the Central Uruguay rail
way, which passes through the wheat
belt of the country, has filled every
available inch of storage room it
possesses with wheat in bags using
the engine and coach sheds, the car
penter and repair shops, and even the
supertiuous room in the station
houses along the line. The total
crop this year is estimated at more
than twice what it was last, and the
acreage that is now being ploughed
for wheat will make next years crop
tive-hundred per cent. larger. Chi

When Giving a Musicale.

At an evening musicale it is wise
to limit the performance to either
the amateur or professional ranks,
as the enforced contrasts are apt to
be to the detriment Of the former.
However, there is no rule in the
matter, and 1t is certainly a matter
which rests only with the hostess for
decision whether or nOt she shall add
her talents to those she has engaged
for the entainment Of her guests. 1t
is not usual TO have distributed pro-
grams at social musicale; II the
event be given for any special pur-
p Sc, and II tickets are sold for it,
then the patrons of the entertain
ment expect to receive programs,
Neither is it usual ia the former case
to announce either the selections or
the performers A clever hostess will
contrive to present few of her most
musical guests to the performers
earlyin the even ny SO that the art
lists may enjoy the social side Of the
musicale. Do not attempt. II you
have a large number Of guests, to
have every one meet every one else.
See that the most congenial meet,
and that no one is left to solitary
meditation. but do not attempt gen.
eral introductions at large affair -
