odd Work for Police Mstrons.

Several correspondents have recently
communicated to THE Sun their com-
plants about tho harshness and OPP
preston. II not the brutality and In
deoency, Of arrests Of female prisoner,
a notable case being the Incarceration
Of three Syrian girls charged with tech-
meal violation Of q minor corporation
ordinance. These charges follow i'm
mediately the so-called new de-
parture' initiated by Police Commits
sioner GREENE and mako opportune q
statement Of their cause.
Prior to the year 1902 all arrests In
New York were made by police officers.
The custody Of the prisoners arrested,
. distressingly large number Of them BE-
ing women and girls, was intrustsd TO
male doormen. Tho perils. even inde-
oency, attending this custom, led to .
demand, carried forward by societies
Of women in this city, for the substitu-
ton OF police matrons for doormen in
charge Of female prisoners. Experience
justified the change. In all modern penal
institutions female prisoners under SEN
tence are In charge Of female attendants,
and the improperly OF those merely
charged with crime and awaiting a
court hearing being in the custody OF
men was self-evident.
Many Of the girls and women In
domestic service in Now York, many
working girls, factory hands and even
store employees, are strangers to the
language Of the city; and many women,
in increasingly large numbers, are sub
jet to ailments, the medical remedies
for which tend, at times, to make them
hysterical or even irresponsible.
The change, indicated a. desirable
by every humane consideration, was
resisted by many Of those then In charge
OF the police administration. and .
vigorous effort was required to secure
the establishment Of the present system
whereby women and girls arrested In
New York are held only In those police
stations to which matrons are regularly
attached. There are two matrons in
each Of these stations. They arc paid
81 900 year and their sole duty IL 10
watch and safeguard female prisoners.
They, and not the doormen, search the
prisoners for deadly weapons. means Of
self-destruction, or evidences OF crime.
With the advent Of Commissioner
GREENE there was a new departure
in the nature Of the services OF police
matrons. To the evident neglect Of
the other duties which legally devolve
upon them. some matrons have been
to get evidence a. the
process Is described, and for that pur-
pose they have been sent into saloons,
poolrooms, gambling houses and places
Of more evil repute, to purchase drinks
at unlawful hours, to place bets on
horse races in violation OF the statute
as to gambling and to do these things
with money furnished by tho city. A
q result Of this new departure police
have been absent from their
posts Of proper duty at periods when,
under Police Department rules, they
are required to be at the station houses;
and as a natural, indeed inevitable.
Of the disregard Of the
Matron law, the i'll treatment OF female
prisoners has again cropped out

gallinae have appeared on a high pla-
teau in the Venetian Alps. These are
small birds found in the far northern
regions Of Europe and America, from

presence in Italy is an eN, nelly rare
occurrence and indicates the preva-
lence of terrible polar winters.

DooMs CHICAGO TUNNELS.
House Committee on Commerce Says
9a They are a Menace.

They are Menace.
Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.-The
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce yesterday held a
hearing on the Mann bill condemning
the Chicago river tunnels as a mem
ace to navigation.
Alderman Mavor asked for further
time for such action if the city was
to remove or lower the tunnels
Alderman Bennett explained the sit
uation as involving the street railway
companies, whose administration is
new in the hands Of the courts. He
suggested an amendment to the bill
defining "a reasonable time" to mean
from three to five years." This would
allow for the settlement of the trac-
ton franchise before the disposal of
the tunnel question.

Lafayette Opera House.

The weird and fascinating play, 'Trilby,"
was enacted on the stage of the Lafayette
Iheater last night by the capable players
comprising the Berger Stock Company. The
large audience. coupled with the rousing
demonstration of approval which greeted
the performance was complimentary to
the Judgment of the management in select
ing Paul Potter's dramauzation of Du
Mauriers mysterious tale as the vehicle for
the company's second weeks appearance.
Although large part of the audience was
familiar with the story and the principal
characteristic girl with the foot, the lat
ter-day fiend in semi-human guse and the
three musketeers of the brush''-the play
seemed to loose none of its dramatic inter
est. and the enjoyment of the audience ap-
peared as great as though the story was
being heard for the first time The pro
duction was very satisfactory as to stage
setting and minor Details and the atmos-
phere of Bohemia which envelops the piece
was delightfully."- preserved by the players.
In portraying the conjuring unearthly
role of Svengali, Mr.. John T. Sullivan was
In his element, and he took advantage of
the opportunities of the part to the entire
satisfaction of the audience In the title
role Miss Selene Johnson was refreshinglv
natural. both as to the expression of the
free girlish spirit of the Latin quarter
and later as the slave of the hypnotist.

Academy.


Wilson Barrett's stirring religious drama,
"The Sign Of the Cross received an en-
thusiastic welcome from a capacity audi
ence at the Academy last night, an audi
ence made up in rart of persons who are
only attracted to theater by an enter
tainment of that kind. The action hinges
on the love of Marcus Superbus, project
of Rome, for lowly Christian maiden. just
before its downfall. when vice ruled the
emperor and his court, and little band OF
believers in the newly adopted faith were
hunted like beasts and put to death for the
amusement of the pagans. The story tells
of the winning over of Marcus into the
new faith because of his love for the
maiden, whom he follows to death in the
den of lions. The scenes are alternated
between the vice and luxury that fiourtshed
before the downfall of Rome and the pa
tent sufferings of the Christians are
brought out in vivid contrast. The cast is
made up of capable people and especial at
tention has been paid to the stage fitting
and costumes. all Of which assisted in a
pleasing performance. George Flood stands
out above the rest in the role of Marcus
Superbus. and, Notwithstanding. cold he
delivers his. lines in clear forcible way.
