A MISSING WORD. THE ATLANTA
CONSTITUTION OFFERS A NEW IN
DUCEMENT TO SUBSCRIBERS.


The ATLANTA CONSTITUTION has an
nounced new missing word" contest.
A sentence from standard publication
has been selected. the book has been
carefully sealed up, and the sentence is
published in full, except the one word
dropped therefrom which the subscriber
is to supply. Answers are sent by con-
testants as they send in their subscrip-
lions and renewals, both the answer and
the subscription must reach The CONSTI-
TUITION in the same envelope.
Ten per cent Of the contestant subscrip-
lions make up the prize.
This is the sentence for September and
October, 1900:
among the residents and hidden in the
cloisters; but for fear of the'------'
they do not let themselves be SEEN"
The sentence is selected from a book
whose authors fame is worldwide and
whose works have been read everywhere.
The omitted word is a common English
word, and the sentence is to be taken in
all it's parts in the meaning ordinarily ac-
cepted.
The period covered by this contest,
September and October, 1900 shows over
$4,000 expirations for The Weekly Con-
stitution. Of course all these will renew
and enter the contest, which would mean
over $4,000 for the missing word fund.
Every additional contestant will swell the
amount by 10 per cent. of his subscrip-
ton.
Ten per cent. of the Guessers' Subscrip-
tions goes to the Fluid to be divided. In
other words, If this Subscription Fund
amounts to twenty thousand dollars for
the two months, the Fund to go to the
successful guesser would be two thousand
dollars.
The condition precedent to sending a
guess at the Missing Word is that each
and every guess must be accompanied by
years subscription to The Weekly Con-
stitution. Persons may guess as many
times as they send subscriptions
In making your answer you need not
write the sentence out in full, just state
simply the Missing Word for November

The District Appropriation bill for the
fiscal year 1901 will make possible quite
number of changes in the Police De-
partment. 1t will permit of fifteen addi-
tions to the force, among which will be
one sergeant, two detectives, and six
mounted men.
Major Sylvester, the Superintendent, has
already determined how the increase to
the force is to be made, namely, by pro-
motion from the lower class to the higher
and by the selection of the necessary men
for appointment as privates.
The bill also authorizes the purchase OF
suitable site for and the establishment
of a new station north of Florida Avenue
Yesterday the Commissioners ordered that
sealed proposals for site forsthe station
shall be received at the District Building
up to noon of June 16, 1900. 1t is stipu-
lated in the order that the lot must be
not less than so feet front by 100 feet
deep and that it must be locates: in the
section bounded by Whitney Avenue.
Spring Road, Seventh and Fourteenth
Streets. The order states further that
Of the streets in the section specified will
be considered.
Because Of the increase to be made in
The police force incident to the establish
nlent of the new station requests are COM
ing to the Commissioners and to the Su-
perintendent of Police for appointment.
These requests are being carefully con-
e;I ,f
and by Commissioner Ross, who has i'm
mediate supervision OF the department,
with view to selecting the best material
possible for the additions that are to be
made. Major Sylvester finds that several
men will be needed as soon as the APP
preparation becomes available. The va
rious resorts will need policing through
the summer months and the detail of
three men to patrol the Long Bridge
must come from the new contingent.
Major Sylvester is also giving attention
to the establishment of new posts for
special policemen at the crowded car
crossings. Yesterday he recommended to
the Commissioners the establishment of
such post at the intersection OF Four
teenth and U Streets northwest as a per-
manent one; that is to say, that the cor
ner shall be policed for the entire year,
instead OF for six months, as at present.
He also informed the Commissioners yes
terday that the cars were now crossing at
Fourteenth Street and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. northwest and at Eleventh and G
Streets northwest, at each OF which sta
tions two men were to be posted, and he
requested the appointment Of four men
Immediately for this service.
Another step in the direction of the i'm
provement of the police service is the
provision of rubber tires for the patrol
wagons and the ambulances.
