POLICE WATCH
LEGISLATURE
Bill 10 Increase Their Pay
One of interest Thsre.

The police of the 99th. precinct
station. Tottenyille, like all others
throughout the greater city OF New
York, the bill introduced in the leg
fslature last weak by Assemblyman
Brennan, Of Manhattan. to Increase
the pay of the patro1men In the de-
partment. The bill provides for the
advance CT the salaries of first grade
men from $1s400 to 1880 a year;
second grade from 1880 to 1880;
third grade from $1.250 to $1,400;
fourth grade, from $1,150 to $1,000;
fifth grade, $1,000 to $1,000; sixth
grade, from 5000 to $1.100, and sew
enth grade, from $500 to $1,000.
AT present a new patrolman enter
ing the department gets but $500 a
year and out of this he must buy
three uniforms, besides other things
that he must possess to do duty. An
the police are interested in is the
three platoon system bill introduced
by Assemblyman Jackson, OF Buff
falo fer the police In the cities of
the first and second class It is
hoped that the measure will became
a law, II for no other reason than
that 1t will not be subject to aboli-
tion by local administration. 1t
will be recalled that the late Mich
ael G. Murphy, when commissioner,
adopted the three platoon system as
the only good. system Tor the public
IS well as the force. but when sue-
ceeded by Colonel Partridge, the
latter without reason abolfshed 1t.
Then General Greene, the next COM
missioner, adopted a six platoon,
which was abolished by William Nc
Adoo, now chief magistrate, who re-
stored the three platoon again. Com
missioner Bingham abolished this in
favor of the two platoon and then
later adopted the present five pla-
toon.
Twice during the administration
OF Governor Hughes was the three
platoon unanimously passed by the
legislature but only to be vetoed by
the governor. 1t is believed that
the three platoon is assured once
and for all.

.GRISCOM is
IMPERTINENT
Attorney for Arnolds Brands
Rumor as Untrue.

New York, Feb. 14.-George s. Girls
,com, Jr., who has been mixed up In
the disappearance OF Dorothy Arnold
even to the extent of declaring that
he was going to marry the missing
heIress, has ceased to be of interest to-
the Arnold family. They declare that
the shadowing and inquisition to which
he was subjected has proved that he
knows no mor than they do about the
missing girl.
ssGriscom's statement that he ex-
~peeted to marry Miss Arnold said
John 8. Keith, who has beensi Ia charge
Of the search, IF correctly quoted, rs
not only an untruth, but an imperti@
nence. He could not have been telling
| the truth when he4said he expected to
see Miss Arnold soon.
1.-THE presence OF the Grascom fam
fly at Atlantic City has no Significance
60 far rs the case Is concerned. The
Griscoms have been in the habit OF
going to Atlantic City once or twice
every year. 1t was a part Of their an
nual tour-Pittsburg to Atlantic City,
to Europe and back again along the
same itinerary. Why young Griscom
Is talking $ glibly none of the Arnolds
understand. His father is a fine maj
and seems to be doing all he can to re
strain the sons curious i~oauacity.
.Perhaps II is not necessary to say

with Mr.. Hitchcock's suggestion, how
ever, there will be no general agreement.
The magazines are supported, not by the
price paid for the magazine by the readers,
but by the advertisers.
Sin a sense, magazines are private con-
Germs; butthey have a publiefunction to per-
farm-an educational function. To tax the
advertisements is to tax the quality of the
educational matter contained IN tho pages,
for the advertisements enable the publishers
to pay high prices for literature and educa-
tional articles. The price paid for q maya
zine does not pay for the printing and the

A JUNGLE Fioht.
From Harper's Weekly

From Harper's Weekly.
1t is not given to many to witness
such a combat as one seen by an
American and party of natives whom
the former accompanied on a hunting
expedition in southern India. The ma
tives had set some traps and nets
and were making the round of them
when a succession of hideous noises
was heard
Proceeding cautiously to the spot,
they found a big jungle bear fighting
for his life with a huge serpent. The
snake had wrapped the bear i'm it's
terrible folds, and was crushing it to
death. The bear was struggling as best
he might darling from side TO side,
roaring and swapping his jaws at the
serpent's folds. "
These folds the bear was unable to
reach with his teeth, owing to the
way In which he had been enwrapped.
He struggled along the ground until he
reached a steep slope, and down this
he threw himself violently.
Evidently this frightened the serpent,
for 1t unwound couple of folds from
the bear, and threw It's tail around a
tree. This was the bears opportunity.
No sooner had the snake thus partially
Strengthened out, giving a rigid line
from the tree to the bears body, than,
the bear turned and fastened his Jaws
in the snakes body.
The kissing was then appalling The
snake quickly unfoIded its body, and
savagely struck at the jaws of the bear
to make him loosen his hold. But the.
bear, with muffled roar continued
to bite and worry his antagonists
body.
Then once more the serpent con-
stricted it's folds, enwrapped the howl
ing and gasping bear, and both, strug-
Cling violently, and rolling over and
over, disappeared in the tall grass.
Their track was marked with blood.
The hunters followed, and presently
saw that the antagonists had separat-
ed. The snake, evidently badly hurt.
was coiled in an attitude of defense,
kissing and twisting angriIy. It looked
as Ii 1t had enough and wanted to be
out OF the fight
Not so, however, with the bear.
Though crushed almost to death, with
its tongue lolling far out OF Its Jaws.
it rushed, after a moments pause, on
the serpent. Weak from loss OF blood.
the snake was unable to prevent the
bear from Selling II by the head. Then
the bear dragged the serpent about
with roars of triumph. crushing the
last spark Of life out OF its quivering
body.

There is a racy and delightful chap
ter on the Kendals' appearance in
America, from which the following is
extracted:
"A thing that shocked Mrs. Kendall
was the amazing frequency with which
she encountered the American cuspi-
dor. On their first arrival I took them
to see a new play at Daly's, I'm which
were John Drew, Mrs. Gilbert and Ada
Rehan, We occupied box. The first
thing she saw in 1t was a commodious
brass cuspidor.
las she became familiar with Amer
lean hotels anu public places she grew
used to the sight of these significant
utensils, She has told that when she
appeared at researsal at a theater In,
Nashville, she saw this notice posted
in the footlights Cor the benefit of the
actors, Please do not spit into the foot
lights When they got further south
to Memphis. the same injunction took
this abbreviated form: Don't spit into
the foots.'
In this chapter there is another IL
lustration of the change in the Amer
lean attitude toward a certain class
of plays:
There was only one cloud in Mrs
Kendals career in America. When she
enacted the part of Paula In The Sec
ond Mrs. Tanqueray,' the critics not
only deprecated her accepting a part
of this kind, but criticised her taste in
appearing in role so at variance with
her career as woman and an actress
She had been called the British mat
ron of the drama because OF the pur-
ity of her domestic life.
I'm speaking of this she said. ''As an
actress / may play all dramatic roles.
1t was not I who gave myself this
title. She could not forgive the press
for its hostile attitude"
