Making it Hot for “Crap” Players— The Trial Board at Headquarters. “Throw the bones quick, the police are com- ing.” Then there is a break and all bands seatter. The police block up the avenues of escape and to the station the “crap” players go. “What is crap?” is the question often asked captured players when before the Police Court. One will tell of the backer or banker, who has the bank when the game is finished. He will tell of throwing the “bones” and “cutting” the game at every third “pass.” He explains the game in an interesting but not altogether intelligible manner to the uniniti- ated.’ When the next player comes he is either unable to explain the game or makes a whole- sale denial of being ‘able to e any informa- poten to _ ome phy ~4 on nearly all who’ are d. —- ‘crap,” lead to num: etaiebegh Got Seay pomennta okie severe to the pla; has caused the police to pay strict steation to that class of gamblers. ‘THE POLICEMAN’S LOT 18 NOT A HAPPY ONE. The regular meeting of the police trial board took place at headquarters to-day, and three i ero of the force were court-martialed. pt. Austin acted as ju voeate, with Lieut. Boteler and Inspector Swindell as mem- bers of the court. Each Wednesday a number of officers can be seen in front of headquarters, Whether on trial or not, an officer's presence in front of headquarters on trial day leads his brother officers to think that he is the victim of the night inspector or sergeant. ARRESTS. There were forty-six arrests made in the city yesterday and last night. Twenty-six of those arrested were white persons and twenty were colored. ‘Yen of the prisoners were under ten years old. There were only eleven lodgers in the stations last night. The number of lodgers has decreased because several of their number have lately been sent down to.the farm. ee To Protect the Monument. To the Editor of Tax Evenixa Star: The report in your last issue made by Cus- todian Thomas to Col. Wilson in charge of the Washington monument relative to the acts of vandalism and barbaric defilement perpetrated by visitors in their progress through the shaft of the monument would seem to require the serious and prompt attention of our law-makers as well as of all law-abiding citizens. And in the first place by way of remedy I would sug- gest that at present the punishment for suc! offenses is not adequate to them. A fine of a few dollars in each case does not seem to have a deterring effect upon these miscreants, but if the fine was supplemented by imprisonment in jail for not exceeding thirty days each time they would soon cease their operations, and if the statute does not now provide for this it shouid be so amended by proper legislation at the carliest moment. It also seems evident that these offenses in a maejority of cases are perpetrated by persons as- condiny the shaft through the _ stair- way. They start out to walk up, soon become fatigued, and stop to rest. Then the American mind, naturally active and restless, finds mo- mentary eadqaens tn the jack-knife and lexd-pencil, seocling in the acts of vandalism and dofilement complained of. There may also be some acts of premeditated violence im the premises, judging from the character of some | that have already transpired, but of this there is no certainty. A better system for admission to the monument than that now in vogue there, perhaps, would be to require all persons to ascend by the elevator and all to descend by the stairway. This would keep up such a con- stant stream of persons passing down the stair- way that it would be impossible for any one to find time enough in which to engage in the defacement of the interior of this grand work. In the same connection it would also enable the elevator to nearly double the number of its daily trips, increasing pro rata the number of persons now daily carried to the top. But, after all, the capable officer in charge of the monument may be compelled to call upon the District Commissioners for a detail of police for its protection. or perhaps a detail from the regular army as a final resort.

The Swedish ladies’ voices are admirably trained, producing exquisite results in the rendition of the pecu- liar folk-music of Scandinavia. The octette and quartette numbers were sung without accompaniment, in perfect time and tune.

The office of matrons and attendants in insane asy- lums, nurses in hospitals, matrons in almshouses, asylums and refuges is accom- —— by many disagreeable and repellant features, but there is no lack of women to fill and retain the places. WOMAN'S QUIETING INFLUENCE. At first sight the objection that women are not possessed of sufficient muscular strength for the place seems valid, did not experience prove that it was not a requisite. Women who will violently resist a policeman become quiet and docile when cared for by one of their own sex. I have in mind acase in my own city, where @ matron was appointed, == bg though she had great power of endurance, was of such aslight build that the policemen wanted to know what she would do with Big Mary, who, they averred. was a terror. Her first case proved to be the equal of Big Mary. in the per- son of a large, stout Irish woman, weighin; nearly 200 Ree and drunk enough to be of fight. It took four men to get her to the station, and when there she made things lively, breaking away from the officers and hurling spittoons and other missiles at them. Her yells could be heard on the street. But when the matron appeared she became another creature, allowed herself to be searched and cared for, and, with the exception of a few sobs, was as quiet as one could wish. Another young wo- man, who had hed the furnituré and glass in the house while drunk, and terrorized the family, quietly submitted herself to the matron, rmitted her to wash and bind up her cut ands and arms, and laid herself quietly down in her cell, These cases are not exceptional, In instances where a woman needs to be lifted. if she should faint, an officer was or should be on hand to assist. As the matrons are never conoerned in the arrest, the women do not have any revengeful feelings toward them, and =! = a rule even courteous in their treatment of them. REFINING INFLUENCE. When officers are so averse toward caring for drunken and disorderly women, it seems strange that they will object to having a woman appointed who will relieve them of such an unpleasant duty. Wherever matrons are on duty the conduct of the male prisoners has improved and the general order of the sta- tion-house has been much better, the men soeming to feel the refining influence and re- straining their noise. That there will be less freedom of talk and action among the officers at the stations where there are matrons is jalagey 4 the reason why they are so opposed. it if they do no more than raise the tone of speech and behavior of the on duty, their labor will not been in vain. The testimony of all high-minded policemen in those places where they are employed is de- cidedly in their favor. I predict that the police matron here has come to stay, as she has in Philadelphia, Port- land.
