best character he has offered during the

eloquent. So well is be adapted to the part
that he holds the audience from the rising

dramatic incidents are superbly rendered.

Total ....................$ f,o2u w
submit above the estimated wants
Of my department for the fiscal year
1900, which will somewhat exceed the
amounts received for the past fiscal
year. and In consequence ! Will en-
deavor briefly to cali your attention to
some of the increased items.
First-The necessity for more detec-
tives. While we have done vast
amount OF good work with our present
limited force Of one man. II is farctcal
to try to keep pace with the criminal
forces of a city of this size without the
additional help asked for being granted.
We have at times as many as ten cases
that require the services of detec-
tive. and many things that should have
been attended to are left undone.
Second-I earnestly call your atten-
ton to the want of more patrolmen
We should have at least ten more men,
the fact that the city covers an area
of nearly twenty square miles and that
the total strength Of our present force
is only fifty-four men. Deduct eighteen
patrolmen and officers for day duty ana
that leaves us with but thirty-siN
patrolmen and six officers for might
duty a force of that size in city al
115, 900 inhabitants is wholly Insufficient
to suppress crime and give anything
| like protection to life and property.
Third-you will find two items. one
! for $3.50 and one for $500. The one FOL
| $3.50 is for rent of a suitable place II
| the North End for a station house. ant
| the $500 IL for iron or steel cages to pu
| in the same. A continuance of the us'
| of the station house of the North Enc
| is almost out of the question. 1t ha'
| been condemned time and again by tn
| board of health. and was recently Wis
| tied by the mayor and Councilmel
Keller and Ross, who We're loud In thei
condemnation of such place for mel
to be compelled to spend their time In
! Something must be done for this plac'
or the city will have suits for damage
! on her hands.
Fourth--You will find an item of $500
| for police signal system, said system
| TO consist of fifty boxes. These sys
| TENS (and there are three or four dif
! fcrent kinds) are the newest things II
| police circles. With one Of them in us
| police headquarters can be in constan
communication with any officer on hi
beat at any time. and all cities of an
progress are adopting one or the othe
OF the systems. The cost may seer
large at first sight, but when you TAX
into consideration the fact that We ar
now paying $500 per annum for eigh
teen telephones. you can readily Sc
that in few years the system woul
pay for itself
Respectfully submitted.

FOR sEcRETARYsH1P,

Interesting Election to be Held by Re-
 publican Club This Evening.
 Members of the Young Mems Repub- lican club are interested considerably i'll the election of q financial secretary for the club, which takes place this evening. The position was made va cant recently by the resignation of Frank J. Rice, councilman from the First ward, who has held 1t for a mum Der of years. There are two candidates for the position, and the friends of each are determined to secure his election, It is not the importance of the position that has aroused this determination, but the fact that one candidate is a Mclean man, while the other is a War ner sympathizer. The election this evening will be attended by large part of the active membership of the club, and it is in the vote that will be cast for each man that the interest is cen tered as 1t will very nearly show the real strength of the adherents in the club of the two gubernatorlal candi- dates.
 The candidates for the position of sec retary are Frederick A Lockwood and Henry c. Noll. The former is said to be in favor of Warner for governor.

A SUDDEN DROP.
Mercury Takes a Thlrty-Degree Tumble

Mercury Takes q Thlrty-Degree Tumble
 Since Tuesday, Noon.
 Since Tuesday noon the temperature has taken drop of 30 degrees, and last night nearly half the people wore light overcoats instead of going around in their shirts and shirt sleeves as they did Tuesday morning and afternoon. The difference in position of the mercury was especially noticeable in the drug stores and confectionery saloons, where hot chocolates rather than orange phos- phates were the order. The chances are that the cool wave will last through to- day, tomorrow probably being q few degrees warmer.
