The principal task devolving upon a
matron is the searching Of all female
prisoners. Though this does not seem to
he an onerous or dsagreeable duty, in
reality II Is phase of their routine not
at all pleasant and sometimes even dan
eerous. They must also familiarize them
selves with the features and peculiarites
of their charges, and obtain such knowl-
edge Of their lives and habits as they
can by conversing with them.
There are at No. 1 precinct station
three Of these matrons, two OF whom,
Mrs Sarah PennifiH and Mrs. Marilla
Thornbureh. are women Of years of ex-
perience in their work, while the third,
Mrs. Sarah Farling has only been In
the department since July. 1909 Each
does an "eight-hour trick the same a s

at all hours of the day or night. The
other three are at the house OF detention.
and have the same hours of duty, though
their work is much more agreeable. They
are Mrs s j. Mcleod Mrs. Jennie
wehrle and Miss Annie Wymer, the last
two having but recently entered the serv-
Ice.
Each Of these women was vouched for
ny ten women OF unquestioned standing
in Washington, So that their worth was

10 the position they hold. They are wom-

the sort OF women some people might
expect TO find in police work.
Mrs. Pennifill, who in years Of service
is the senior member. is the widow OF a
soldier. She has been a police matron
sworn in In February, 1883. In that time
she has done duty at several other pre-
cinct stations, and also at the house of
detention since it became an institution in
1900. She is very popular among the
officers, some Of whom call her mother.
II have had some hard experiences and
some funny ones said Mrs. Pennifill.
"Of course. nobody goes into this bust
ness expecting bed Of roses: like the
work. I'm used to II. and like II.
What is the hardest thing you have to
do?"
THE searching of prisoners is always
the most disagreeable." Mrs. Pennifill re-
piled. though now IT isn't as much so as
IL used to be when we had to handle
crazy people. That phase of our work
was eliminated about two months ago,

ed States Census Director Durand today

vided that such persons shall be select
ed solely with view to fitness, and
without reference to their political par
ty affiliations.
The census act provides that the
enumeration of population and agrieul-
fure shall begin on April Is, 1910, and
that each enumeration shall complete the
work required in his district within
thirty days in the ease of rural dis
triets and small towns, and within two
weeks in the ease of any incorporated
city. town. village, or borough which
had 5000 inhabitants or more under the
census of 1900
at is desirable where possible that
the euumerator shall live Ia the dis
triet he IS to canvass. He should be
familiar with its territory and the gem
eral character of its people.
'tThe census requires as enumerators
active, energetic persons of good adj
dress. They must be thoroughly trust
worthy, honest, and of good habits
They must have at least ordinary edu.

WAY Is NOW CLEAR
FOR THE BUILDING
Continued From Page one.)


The Y. NJ. C. A. now has some $780,
600 ON hand and the $4,000 given by
the late {. NJ. Cooke is also available
The latter amount can only be used
for building material, however. In or
der to secure the property just Eva
OF the library, on which an option is
now held, it will be necessary to have
$50, 1000. This uses up all but $4,000
OF the money now available for the pur-
chase of land, but it is hoped that at
least $4,000 more may come in from
subscriptions Immediately after the
first of the year.
Whether or not the library building
shall have been vacated by March
the Y. M. c. A. structure will prob
ably be started by that date. The Eva
end of the building can be gotten I'M
der way before the rest of the land IS
cleared and such will probably be the
line of procedure followed.
The building committee will probably
mold a meeting early next week and
lay out plan of operation. The per-
sonnet of the committee is not vet com
piete but it will be filed within a dav
or two.
As soon as the building committee
has become organized the question of
securing plans viii be taken up. Wheth-
er the matter viii be placed in the
bands of some architect chosen nv the
committee, or whether competitive
plans will be called for, has not vet
been decided, but it is believed that
the latter course viii be followed,
With the land question settled. the
directors and trustees of the Y. M g.
A. will turn their whole attention TO-
ward building, and work will be rush
| ed along just as fast as the necessary
| funds are paid in.
