main there until further orders from he

have the girl at home nights, providing
that he would have her at the institution
each morning, and if this was not con-
venient he could call at the institution To

The first of a course of eight lectures
given under the au pices of the Rhode
Island Women's Suffrage Association,
having as general subject the posi-
tion Of women in history and in various
phases of education, literary and political
life, was delivered at Sayles Memorial
Hall yesterday afternoon. The speaker
was Mrs. Abba Goold Woolson, prominent
in women suffrage movements in Boston.
"Women as Sovereign" was the title
OF the initial lecture of the series, and il
received the attention of an audience of
women, credtably large considering the
incement weather.
President William Il. Wilson OF the State
Normal School acted as presiding officer
and with a few courteous words intro
duced the lecturer. Mrs. Woolson review
ed the history and achievements OF many
prominent women of ancient and

FINE POLICE STATION.
Inspection OF The New Building by
City Officials.

After the meeting of the City Council
yesterday nearly all the members escorted
Mayor Olney, Chief of Police Child aud
superintendent Mansfield to the new
Central Police Station on Fountain street
TO inspect the handsome structure. Every
body spoke words of praise for the
manner in which the flS0,000, ESQ, 900 of
which went for furnishings, had been ex-
pended. The poor department was con-
sidered luxurious and the porcelain lined
bath tubs, iron beds with woven wire
springs, carpeted chambers in the wo-
mems part, steam heat and electric
lights make the place simply luxuri-
Gus. In addition to q bath and all
the other nice things, each occupant will
be given "nightie," as Bill Nye puts it.
The new court room was praised. and
when the ward room was entered some
body asked, "Who wouldn't attend eau
Gus in the Fourth Ward?"
The police headquarters are fine, too,
ana Chief Child says he can find room for
superintendent of Hacks Norcross and the
dog license commissioners by putting a
railing In corner apartment aud putting
in electric lights.
The arrangement of the iron gates TO
the courtyard was noticed and COM
mended. La case OF a riot and blockade
closing the rear gate, there are two on
Fountain street for the convenience of
the police. With the widening of Wash
ington street, it will be an admirable To-
cation.
The placing of the station in the heart
OF the "tenderloin district" is expected to
have good effect on the behavior of the
people, too, the chief Gays.
Moving will begin next week. By
Tuesday night the police will probably
sleep 10 their new apartments, and by the
week following will be settled.

The postofiice in the same building was
not entered at all, though the marks can
be seen where they tried to force the
lock of the door. In the office OF
the w Whiteman Insurance Company they
drilled hole in the large safe, and by the
use of giant powder blew the safe door
into a hundred pieces, tearing tho steel
as il II were paper. From tho safe
was extracted about 5000 and valu-
able papers. The explosion was heard by
Mrs. Walton &. Bates, who lives in the
house next to the Insurance building,
and she arousd her husband. Mr..
Bates dressed himself and taking his
revolver he went out and secured the
services of night watchman James Dee

the store. One man was inside, while the
other was on watch. Bates and Dee got
nearly upon the men before they saw
them and Bates called: "Up with your
hands, or i will shoot you" The man
did not obey, but opened fire on Bates
and ran for the back of the building.
He ran to back window ans dropped
out. Then came an exciting chase. Up
the bank the burglars went with Bates
and Dee after them Every few yards a
revolver shot would ring out; the
burglars would fire, then Bates would fire.
In all twenty shots were exchanged
When at the corner of PLEASANT street one
took that direction and the other Frank

The man headed for Pleasant street
and fell, and Bates gained on him.

over called out to Bates, who was
within a few feet, to stop. Before he
could take aim Bates threw himself upon
him and wrested the revolver away, and
then { he men ciinched.
Bates held him until Dec came up and
the two men started for the station.
The man was not inclined to talk, but
finally gave his name as Frank Allen, OF
