Matron Sibley.

Mrs. Sibley, matron of the Tenth and
Buttonwood streets station house at
Philadelphia, has rounded out ten years
Of service in that position. She was the
first police matron to undergo civil
service examination and is the third
oldest matron in point of service in the
police department of that city. Mrs.
Benkert, one of the five originally ap-
pointed by the mayor more than II
years ago, was injured last summer by
prisoner and is now patient at the
Home For Incurables. The Philadel-
phia Ledger says, 1.-THE police matrons
do not receive pensions, and though
Mrs. Benkert had been more than ten
years in the police department and re-
ceived her injury while in the dis
charge of duty she received no grant

Mrs. Cowden Clarke, who recently
died in England, was fond Of telling
how her Latin teacher. Mary Lamb,
Elias sister, entertained her, with fell
low pupil, at dinner. When the little
party was seated at the table, the teach
or said: 'Now, remember, we all pick
our bones. 1t isn't considered vulgar

deal of talk. Of course the students
found out she and Mrs. Davis had had
trouble, and some sided with one and
others held opposite views. There were
no fistic combats, but it got SO that the
boarders glared at each other SO hard
across the table that they would choke
over their food. Mrs. Davis tried to
patch up peace. She tried harder than
ever to make her food tempting, but
all in vain were the extra portions Of
pumpkin pie and cottage pudding, and
even the fact that she had chicken
twice a week instead of once failed to
lessen the friction.
What the result would have been is
only a matter of conjecture, but one
morning some of the faithful, as Miss
Deane's constituents were known, held
a meeting. No one knew the object
when he entered the room, but Miss
Deane was there, and she explained it.
She told them she could start restau-
rant if they would all take so muck
stock. The amount from each would be
small and the students would be secur-
ed from loss because they could eat up
their stock if they desired.
Miss Deane is to be manager, and if
she is as good proprietor as she is a
talker she will be rich in few months.
She showed the boys how she would put
aside so many dollars each week for the
reserve fund. This would be put at in
terest, and. according to her figuring,
in short time the stockholders would
be drawing money at each meal instead
of paying it out. And SO it was settled.
A vacant store directly opposite Mrs.
Davis restaurant has been rented and
is being fixed up with counters and ia

Women In Business and Social Life.

Women In Business and Social Life.
cannot conceive of anything that
women could do in the future that
would shock the public now as the
things they actually are doing would
have shocked the public of 80, 20 or
even 10 years ago. Women attend the
business meetings of corporations and
in some cases, notably small manufac.
turing or business concerns, if they have
large amount of money invested, they
serve as directors, even as president and
treasurer They vote on school matters
in the majority of the states. They have
full suffrage in Wyoming, Utah, Colo
RADIO and Idaho and municipal suffrage
in Kansas. Even in states where they
do not vote women are frequently seen
at the polls, notably members of the W.
q. T. o., who go for the purpose of dis
tributing ballots or providing coffee in
the interest of temperance.
We see the same changes in social
life. Years ago mans club was the
one spot where woman could not set
her foot. It was generally supposed that
the moral tone of the place was such
that she would not wish to 90 there if
she could. Customs have changed so
much that women not only visit the
club on ''ladies' nights, but they are
actually invited to the restaurant on or
binary days. Almost all the newer
clubs, especially those in the country
and those connected with athletic inter-
ests, make provision for women and in
some cases the club suppers are almost
rs domestic as family parties. Last win
ter attended meeting of woman's
society at a mans club in one of our
great cities. The clubmen were not in
vited to the meeting, but the courtesy
of portion of their house was extended
for the day, because the society was a
noted one and the club could offer finer
accommodations than any hotel. Some
Of the ladies, when enjoying the perfect
appointments of the dressing and din
ing rooms, remarked that it was pity
that women should ever undertake.

A Dastard)y Outrage.

Last night about half past nine or
ten o'clock, respectable man was
grossly assaulted on Punchbowl
street near Kinau by four of our
newly arrived ruffians brought here
by annexation. He was first struck
on the face, the blow making long
and nasty cut, and then choked into
insensibility. He had ventured to
remontrate with the blackgdards for
insulting lady friend who had
passed EDWARDS with her husband
and other escorts. 1t is needless to
say there were no police officers
around to interfere. If these things
continue the people will soon take
the law into their own hands in self
defense,

PLUCKY KANSAS GIRL.
Seizes and Holds a Pickpocket at
Joplin's Log Rolling.

Parsons, Aug. 13.-NIiss Eva Bennett,
of this city, had quite an exciting ex-
perience with a colOred pickpOcket while
attending the log rolling at Joplin, Mo,
on Wednesday. She was walking down
the main street with another lady where
the crowd was dense, when a large
negro jerked her gold watch from her
belt and attempted to make his escape
in the crowd. Miss Bennett, however,
was very pluczy, and did not propose
to be despoiIed. of her property without
making some effort to regain it, so she
followed the thief and caught hold of
his coat, as did also the lady who was
with her, and they held him, despite
his efforts to get away, and demanded
the return of the watch. Seeing that he
could not escape with his prize, the
thief gave it back to Miss Bennett, and
as a police officer put in an appearance
at this time the ladies turned their
prisoner over to him. The whole party
then proceeded to the police station
where a formal charge was filed against
the man and he was held for trial.
