nue., with grass plot and wide parking
beside 1t on the north and Rawlns Square
in front of ii the west 1t Is in very
quiet neighborhood. yet easily accessible
from all parts Of the city. No better place
could have been found for II. The house Is
probably as well adapted for the purpose as
any that was not specially built for IT,
The police officers in charge were espe-
cially selected for their discretion and ex-
perience. The colored janitor and his wife,
who Is also TO be the laundress and cook
are old, faithful servants of the police de-
partment. The inmates will have the best
of care, including meals. There, Is a conye-
nient and well-arranged stable. where the
horses and wagons for the conveyance Of
the inmates will be kept. the wagons being
specially constructed so as not to advertise
their purpose Instead of being subjected
to all the annoyances and moral dangers of
the best-kept police stations, a woman or
child will be taken in one of these wagons
to the house or detention, where after a
bath and a meal, good nights sleep In a
clean, well-ventilated room will be given
Then, under the arrangement made with
the judges Of the Police Court, the case of
such an inmate of the house Of detention
will be heard after the regular docket is
concluded. The arrangements which have
been made carry out perfectly the spirit Of
the act of Congress and give the city q
much-needed Improvement

Touring Leisurely.
From the London Mail
Every year about 1000 people, mostly
Americans and Australians, traverse the
whole OF Great Britain In imitation old
fashioned coaches. This year quite 10000
Americans alone have booked up in advance
complete tours In this way and yet very few
indeed our own countrymen even know
that one coach is now so linked with an
other throughout the whole of the English
provinces that the railway can be almost
totally ignored
The revival Of coaches some years ago
ended in dead loss to those who under
took it. for the very good reason that things
were done on the most lavish and uncom-
merclal scale Nowadays nearly every
coach running from London hotel Is a
source OF handsome profit, for nearly all the
coaches are run as commercial specula tons
as well as for pleasure When a good route
is chosen they cannot be a failure. for the
reason that before they start certain num-
Der OF persons living along the road guar

A coaching agent declares that at the
