The Pet or the Force.

Tie new woman has br ken ont in a new

city OF Allegheny. Pa. which she has invaded.
Miss Florence Klotz can scarcely be called even
a woman constable. though. for she IL only IL
years old. But she's a constable oil right. She
serves warrants. summonses, and subpwnas
with all the authority and determination OF a
male miuion OF the law. Miss Klotz's father Is
an Alderman. whose regular constable wa an
old man who had an inconvenient way OF being
slcE or invisible when he was wanted for duty.
On one OF these occasions. abouttwo months ago.
tie d-spNiring Alderman pressed his daughter
into service. That settled the matter. Tho
girl constable proved to be the plucsiest, quick
est, most reliable one In town. Her very
first mission was to serve n subpoena on n
farmer living four miles out Of town. Miss
Florence put on her boomers. mounted her
wheel. and went after her man. When she
came back. tired. muddy. but triumphant, she
found n crowd In front OF her fathers office to

then. womani,!ke. she cried. even though she
was a constable.

than with ten women. The women think II Is .

In one case Miss Klotz acted AZ councillor as
well rs constable. a butcher had kicked In the
door when he found his hallway locked up by
tho baker who with his family occupied the
rest Of the house. Tie locki ing was by order of
the landlord. who demanded that Il be done at
10 i. VI. The butcher was sued for malicious
mischief. Miss Klotz brought her man TO court,
also served a score OF subpGnas for witnesses,
arranged tho details OF the hearing, cro.s-eIam-
in-d the witnesses. and finally had the case. dis
missed on her recommendation that each OF the
parties be furnished with keys. The costs were
divided. and the Young lawyer-constable smiled
with delight as she counted over her share.
The only unruly case she has run across was a

Waiting a, GERMAN Cour. Balls.

~ W" INC NAH bHfb f'FVfHI0'
4 few years ago the minuet and gavotte were
tho special dances of the Berlin court. the
Kaiser himselt having taken n special fancy to
them. Somehow they did not lind much favor
in socie.y, rs Young. people prefer waltzing;
and, after ali, old fashioned dances, like q good
many other old fashioned habits, are all very
well when the actors are dressed in the clothes
az the period aud resemble in mode OF thought
and car ingr uf body their great grand parents.
But few young people are like their forefathers.
There was some reason for tho Introduction
Of ii faneiin! and picturesque dance at
the grand festivals iof an imperial court. es-
pccially us very special rules prevailed there.
L. IL well known that the late kRiserin Augusta
strongly Objected To waltzing, and so does the
court OF Berlin. Tho consequence is that a kind
OF galop was inyeated for Berlin a two-timed
movement, danced TO the music OF tho waltz,
but rot at all resembling the old deux-temps
waltz. In ,.Mecklenburg the waltz is never
danced at all at court the reason for this being.
as II IL said, hat the Grand Duchess Marie does
not like dancing. Moreover. almost everywhere
down upon as bad style; Good style depends
upon the leaders OF fashion, and 80 the slow
waltz has heen pronounced as the correct kind
10 be danced at the court. OF Stuttgart this
winter. Both the Queen and her step-dauRhter
are very fond OF waltzlng; her Majesty has or
dered tina! tho waltz Is IN DO danced slowly at
the court balls now. as Is tho custom In Vienna.

The Four mutton womer BREAD Winners
orthe United state--Evcry Occupation
Now Invaded by women-Gren Advance
OF Women In Professional branches.
The detailed tables of occupations just issued
from the Census Office give some interesting
facts in relation to the entrance OF the Ameri-
can woman into various branches of trade and
industry. and also throw light upon her advent
into the professions. The totals OF the occnpa-
ton tables were published a year or two ago,
and from these It was learned that the number
OF women engaged In the gainful occupations
increased between 1880 and 1900 nearly As per
cent, while tho number Of men engaged in
creased about ~ per cent. During this period
professional women increased 15 per cent. and
those engaged in manufacturing and mechan.
ical pursuits nearly 81 per cent. while In trade
and transportation the increase was 203 per
cent. and over. two aud a half times as great as
IN 1850. These were striking figures and natu-
rally awakened curiosity Ms to what particular
professions. trades. md industries women
selected rs n means Of earning n livelihood.
This information is only just at hand In n brl-
letln transmitted at the close OF 1896 and re-
Gently given the public.
Broadly speaking. II wouli appear that the
American woman. like her British kin beyond
the sea. has taken u DIP into every occupation.
The advance OF woman has been complete, md.
with the exception OF the United States army
and navy. there are no blanks. She labors in the
field and dairy and ,hrives as farmer. planter.
and ovcrsecr. She goes forth In u boat and
braves the wind and sea tn fishing and drags
the bed of the ocean for oysters. She may be
found In lumber camps, doing duty rs wood
chopper and lumberman. and even as n RATS
man gentle woman has tried her hand. and IL
not afraid to own up to the census man. With
pick and dynamite she q%uarries stone and delves
into the earth In search OF the common min
erals and the precious metals. In the profess
sioual world woman has made her appearance
In every occupation save that OF marshalliug
armies and conducting war. Her progress In
professional life has been ms marked as In trade
and industry. Here we have It exact and
stamped with all the authority of the govern
meGt official:
