WOMAN POLICE SERGEANT.
Mrs. Mary T.. Ow ems, of Chicago, Holds
This Rank, and In Earning
Her Salary, Too.

Sergeant Mary L. Owens, of the
Chicago police department, is the only
woman in the world holding such rank
and title, and if she is not good Off
Ger six mayors of that city have failed
to find il out. She is on the regular
police pay roll, wears sergeant's badge
No. 97 and reports daily to Chief Col
leran, of the detectives. Nobody, from
the chief of police down, gives her or
ders. In the language of the street,
.she knows her business" and it is an
open secret that she knows it so well
that she can wear her badge and draw
her salary as long as she likes.
She began her official career in 1889,
says the Chicago Record Herald, soon
after the death of her husband The
support Of family of three young
children devolved upon her suddenly,
while she was yet ignorant of any pro-
fession, trade or method OF money
making. Her husbands friends
brought enough pressure to bear to
have her chosen one of the five wom-
en- health officers appointed by Mayor
Cregier. She did the rest herself.
When the women were dropped by the
health department Mrs. Owens had
made herself SO conspicuously useful
to the police that the elder Carter IIar-
rison told Chief McClaughry to ap-
point her patrolwoman, with a special
assignment in the sweatshops, depart
ment stores and shopping districts
where most of the violations of the
child labor and compulsory education
laws were being violated.

THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
Her Prestige Is Being slowly nut
surely Isurped by the Soft.
GIinging Maid of Yore,

Backward and forward swings the
pendulum of fashion. We fancy we
hay put away certain frivoitieS for
ever and, presto! here they are back
again as pronounced as ever. The
fact is that the man and woman in
esse have not changed at all.
Circumscribed as we are, therefore,
by the limitations Of our humanity.
We find in our orbit that now, as
III The days of Solomon, there is no
new thing under the SUM-" and fash
ion must perforce swing around in
an erratic circle of periods the Vic
torian, the Napoleonic, the Louis
NNl., the Renaissance, the Grecidn.
ctc.-to crafty the love Of change.
This may seem like a rather elabo-
rate preamble to an analysis of the
coming summer girl of 1901, but it is
curiously apropos to observe that the
athletic girls prestige seems to ba
more or less on The wane, and that
Il soft feminine creature, like the
grandmother of 80 years ago, who
does nothing but look supremely
pretty in her muslins and laces and
makes herself entertaining, is com
ing very much to the fore.
\ couple of years ago it was gen
orally thought that the athletic
movement which was SO pronounced
all over the country would develop
a new woman, and that the fluffy
summer girl of yore had vanished
/ forever but to the great joy of the
maidens tand they are not few
who have all along secretly detested
sport, il seems now quite on the
tapis that they may be us much in
he fashion this summer as their
more amaHonian pmpanons and
may openly avow their preference
for shady corners and tete-a-tetes
without mourning dsapprobation.-

Peace with all the world, freedom from

ciples of the Roosevelt administration.
Mr.. Hay declared emphatlcally that
the United States does not covet the
territory of the South American repuD-
lies and that IL Will not interfere in
any quarrels that may arise between
them excepting ut the request Of both
sides. He explained the purpose of the
reciprocity treaties now awaiting the
approval of the senate and mentioned
in turn the purposes which have been
accomplished or which remain to be
accomplished by American diplomacy.
In this connection he said:
AS TO the measure of success which
our recent diplomacy has met with, II
IS difficult, II not impossible. for me to
speak There are two important lines
