MET IN InlNI SESSION.

The police committee from the city council and the police commission met yesterday in joint session for the pur- pose of considering the printing of the rules and regulations of the police de- partment. It was decided to print 100 copies instead of 150 copies, as was orig inally requested by the police commis- sion. The printing of the regulations. 1t will be remembered, gave rise to unfa- Yorable comment at a recent meeting of the board of aldermen, and an open rup- ture between that body and the police commission almost occurred. However. the whole matter was satisfactorily ad- justed at yesterdays meeting.
 It is said that the city council did not intend to ignore the requisition of the commission. but, owing to the city's fi- nancial condition, they deferred action ill order to economize, If possible.

Fantasma Tonight.


 Hanlon Bros. "Fantasma" will be the attraction at OBrien's opera house to- night and tomorrow night.
 .Fantasma" may not require very deep mental study to understand. and is very, very far removed from the problem play" of modern times, neither can It De said to contain any very extensive moral lesson but it certainly possesses all the clements necessary to amuse the ordi- nary theater-goer in an exceedingly harmless manner.
 "Fantasma" is simply an elaboration of the old time pantomime. which has been popular from time immemorial, and as exploited in this country years ago by the famous Ravels and the late George l.. Fox. As with the productions of those past masters in the art of panto- mime, principal reliance is placed upon the antics and comcal mishaps of a white-faced clown. It must not he sup posed. however. that the Hanlons have made any attempt to copy these famous pantomimists in their productions. the central idea alone to be utilized. that of the clown The tricks, situations and story. all are original with the Hanlons.
 Strange to say. there is a thread of a story running through "Fanta sma." It hinges around the misfortunes of two lovers, Lena and Arthur, and around these figures all the other characters 1n- troduced. revolve.
 Some of the tricks" as they are called in stage parlance. mechanical illusions would be better. are really marvellous ex- amples of ingenuity. One in particular may be mentioned. It is called the "de- capitation trick" The clown falls into the hands of party of ghostly knights, who decide to treat him to an execution a la Middle Ages. with he, the clown. as the victim. A block Is procured and a black-robed executioner stalks on car rying an enormous ax. The clown is quickly pinioned and his head placed up~ on the block. The headsman solemnly raises his ax and brings 1t down with @ crash upon the neck of his victim. The head is severed and rolls upon the floor. At least so 1t seems to the audience. but as the clown reappears in the next scene all right 1t is quite evident that he has not been very seriously damaged.
 The Hanlans thought so much of this trick" that they have it patented
 There are a number of other mechani- cal illusions quite as remarkable as this one, however. In fact the whole per- formance abounds with them. The com pany which will be seen in "Fastasma" this season is said to be fully up to the standard of former representations George H. Adams will again be seen in the role of Pico. the clown. IL can safely be said that this artist has few equals and certainly no superior in his line of work. The other parts will be capably filed. Miss Nettie Black appearing as Fantasma. Others are Miss Gertrude Lamar, the beautiful Spanish danseuse; Miss Pauline Glidden, cornetist; Miss Sadie Stevens, soprano.
