All clothiers admit (among them
selves the superiority of Alfred Ben
jamin & Co., New York, Overcoats.
They are the finest in the world
from every standpoint. Where is the
shrewdness in buying the "usual"
overcoat, which is full season behind
the style, when for the same money
you can have one of these beautiful
and unequaled coats?
Alfred Benjamin & Co. give us the
special selection from their choicest
production, and this is the only house
in the city showing a full line.
And the price is right.

In other words. would Admiral

the same character of blockade that
Sampson maintained? Would Admiral
| Schley be censurahle for maintaining
on thS 2Sth, goth. 30th and S1st OF
May the same character of blockade
so far as distances are concerned.
that Admiral Sampson maintained
from the day he got there on the lst
OF June until the day of battle?
"There is one other point. and this
is all done for the purpose of really not
delaying but purposely getting at the
matter. We propose to prove that on
the 1st day of June the Colon was in
precisely the same position inside of
the harbor that she was on the S1st of
May, when Admiral Schley made the
reconnaissance with the Massachu-
sets and the New Orleans. Now. we
propose to show that when Admiral
Sampson came up with the ships his
ships saw the Colon in the same posi-
tion. and instead OF attacking II
steamed by and permitted her TO 90
further inside the harbor Now,
would we be justified in not engaging
in battle with the Colon and the shore

Sampson took the same course?"

A WOMAN ON THE POLICE FORCE

The law officers of Washington have
lately been busy with the question
whether woman may become mem
Der of the police force, and have rem
dered the opinion that woman may be
appointed as an additional private on the
police force for duty at designated
place. The question grew out of the re-
quest OF the Humane Society for the en-
ployment of a woman as an additional
private for the purpose of preventing
cruelty to animals.
Fortunately, the candidate for the place
was already at hand, and unquestionably
fitted for the work. She is Miss Woods,
who sometime ago proved herself plucky
and quick witted enough to stop horse
which was being cruelty driven by one
of the leading sporting men of Capitol
society. She held the horse until a po-
liceman arrived on the scene, and the
animal was found to be bleeding at the
mouth. In addition to the natural quail
fcations of quick observation and deter
mination, she has the advantage of hav-
ing studied law.
There are some decided advantages
about having a woman as special police
agent for work of this kind OF course.
it goes without saying that she must be
well fitted, by character and education,
for the work Otherwise she would be
worse than useless. But in cases of cruelty
to animals the culprit is apt to be burly,
fellow who could give
man a very pretty tussle if disposed to
resist the law; and he would hardly do
that with woman. Moreover, the
woman agent would in nine cases out of
ten have the sympathy of the bystanders,
and that amounts to something as moral
support Women who are genuinely in
terested in this sort of work usually go
INTO il. with an enthusiasm which IL con-
5agious and effective, and are, perhaps,
more Jealous than the averrge man would |
De in hunting down and furnishing abuses
There would also be the consideration,
lot unimportant, that the women selected |
or such positions would be picked for
uperior qualifications, and would be in |
Measure on trial, and therefore stimulated |
o do the work better, if possible, than
he ordinary policemen would do it. The
dea of women as police is certainly a
Iovel one, but in this particular case it
oes not seem bad at all.
