12 THE POLICE PATROL How the Force is Controlled From the Central Office. N ALMOST PERFECT SYSTEM Three Operators Who Work the Wires at Headquarters. —— + -—— ELECTRICAL SAFEGUARDS LTHOUGH CLOSE- ly allied, being under one head, the fire alarm and _ police patrol systems of the District of Columbia are entirely different departments. Their relation might be likened to the tele- graph and telephone, both dependent upon the electric current, but wide apart as to the methods of trans- mission and receiving. Up on the sixth floor of the police head- qvarters building, divided by only a thin Partition, the police patrol system's foun- tain head is located and works almost side by side with the fire alarm department. Three bright, conscientious gentlemen guard t!e ‘phone with hours similar to the other system, that is 8:30 in the morning till 3 o'clock in the afternoon; 3 till 6 in the evening, and from 6 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. i variety of city government busi- A cail for a detail of police usual- goes in with an alarm of fire in the -town districts; some poor unfortunate in i where the watcher is watched. ‘Those Who Handle the ‘Phone. The three officials who handle the ‘phone for this department—Messrs. Domer, Aus- tin and Maddux—are especially fitted for the business, as they handle on an aver- age about 12,000 messages monthly. It takes a cart load of patience for a man to handle a telephone, and for this reason ladies are generally chosen to sit in front of the transmitter, but the police system calls for sterner material, hence the as- cendancy of the male operator in this de- partment. It is a safe conjecture to make that the patrol system of Washington will never be called into such a thrilling use as the ones of Chicago, New York or other large cities. Of course, the late experience with Coxey and his followers bordered on the sensa- tional, but there is no comparison between the Coxeyites and the recent mob of rioters in the windy city. When matters arrive at such a dangerous climax in Washington patrol wagonr and blue-coated officers of the local government will quickly give way to the strong right arm of Uncle Sam. There ts too much valuable property in the Ration’s capital to take even the smallest Interesting Apparatus. ‘The apparatus of the police patrol system, although very simple, possesses many points of interest to those not acquainted with its workings. It is engirely automatic and re- quires no trained operators for its success- ee Any person who can use a can master all the details of the trol system in a few minutes. Each police Sistrict has its own circuit of wires con-, necting all the boxes within its limits. The scbstations are connected with the main office at headquarters by another circuit. At the substations oa the necessary instru- ments for receiving and recording automati- =. the signals received from the boxes. ‘These are simple in their arrangement. ‘The patrol boxes are neat, and so coim- as not to interfere with street traffic. are generally placed on the corner of the sidewalk at street intersections, and sometimes serve in addition as a lamp post a holder for the names of the streets. are given to all police officers and to citizens as apply for them and who to be reliable.

By this means the location of every man on duty is known at the police station every hour, and his progress along his beat marked with absolute precision. When the policeman makes his hourly report he turns the indicator to the tele- phone cail. As soon as the “O. K.” button shows him that his signal has been re- celved at the station, he sends in his name and report of any disturbance or unusual occurrence on his beat through the tele- phone. — addition to this hourly report, the po- nm can, at any time, make reports omen the boxes which are placed about two or three squares apart in the down town districts, and a policeman can never get more than two or three blocks away from @ box. No accident, no robbery, no mur- der, no fire, can cecur more than two or three blocks away from a box, where in- stant communication can be had with the Police station. Within three minutes after a policeman or @ citizen who has a key has sent in an alarm from a box, a patrol wagon or fire engines will dash up to the corner. If a riot call should be sent in the substation sends the call to ell the other substations and warns the entire department, while the chief of police, from the central station, can land a hundred men at the spot within twenty minutes, or practically the whole department inside of an hour. As rapidly as possible all wires belonging to the city are being placed underground, and it is to be hoped that before the coming winter's storms set in the more important ¢eireuiis will be protected in this way. It would be a hard estimate to figure on the cost of the patrol system to the Dis- trict, but its benefits will surely quadruple its financial outlay. The greatest benefit de- rived from the system is in the control which the chief of poiice has over the men under his command. The efficiency of the Police is certainly doubled, and at critical times it is quedrupled. ————E SOCIETY WOMEN WHO FENCE. A Master of Arms Tells Tales Out of School From the New York Tribune. "The best fencing which I have seen in many days was by a young Sth avenue Woman, whose father is a prominent bank- er. When I first spoke to her parents about giving her lessons, they objected seriously: it wes unladylike and ‘dangerous.’ The young woman and myself overcame the Prejudices, however, and I was soon teach- ing the banker's daughter the use of the foils. When she first came to me she was not particularly graceful, although she had ridden horseback a good deal, had danced and rowed. But today she is a marvel. She has the strength of a man in her arms; her shoulders and chest are larger; she breathes and walks better, and she is as Sraceful as a Josephine.” ‘The speaker was a French fencing masier gho had taught the graceful art to many THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY! SEPTEMBER 8, 1894—EIGHTEEN PAGES. ‘women Rak the fashionable Parisian fau- bourgs and crossed swords with some st the best fighters of his time. “You would be surprised,” he added, “to know how many New York society women take lessons in fencing. I could name them by the score. Every one of them who indulges in the exercise and practices it methodically is a stronger woman for it. I know nothing better for sick nerves. It teaches them to be brave, too. I have pupils who could defend themselves well against the prize man of a German uni- versity corps, or the fighting member of the editorial staff of a Paris newspaper. Fencing for women has come to stay.” ‘The conversation naturally led up to duel- ling, and encounters between women, which have not been so rare as one might think in this world where the members of the gentler sex have long been protected from the necessity of fighting their own battles. “You, of ccurse,” continued the maitre d’armes, “have seen the famous picture of E. Bayard—or a copy—representing < duel between two women. But did you know that the idea for this picture was suggested by a duel between an American woman and a French woman? Such was the case. “It was in 1886. Miss Shelley, an Ameri- can girl, met Mme. Astie de Valsayre, the advecate of women's rights in France. The young American—patriotic as most of them are—deciared that the women doctors of France were far less skilled than the American women who had taken up the study of medicine. One word brought on another, unti! the American at last called the French woman an ‘idiot.’ This was too rauch for the Gallic blood of Mme. de Val- sayre, who, it may be remembered, wore men’s clothes in the streets of Paris, de- spite the protests of the police. A challenge followed. As the American knew nothing of the use of foils, her antagonist gave her two weeks for practice. The contest took place near Waterloo. Despite the ominous rame—omincus for the French woman— the American girl was defeated, and car- ried her hand in a sling for some time. The incident created a great sensation at the time, and the painting by Bayard was the result. The picture has probably done more than the preaching of masters to en- courage the practice of fencing among women. “But duels among women have not been rare in the past. Under Louis XIII two women of the highest aristocracy, the Mar- quise de Merles and the Countess de Polig- nac, had a duel with pistols in the Bois de Boulogne. The cause was the gallant Duke de Richelieu. “The notorious Mme. d'Aubigny, better known Mile. de Maupin, was challenged by three cavaliers, who took her to be a man. She put all three hors de combat. “A diplomatic duel was that in which the Countess Lodiska Trautmannsdorff, a born Pole, was engaged. It was a tragic affair, indeed. A rival of her husband published an article which attempted to make the lat- ter ridiculous. The count—it was soon after their marriage, in 1834—discovered soon afterward that a certain Baron Rapp was the author of the article, and called him ow on the ficld of honor. A friend of the baron, with the count’s permission, represented the former in the contest, and killed Count Trautmannsdorff. The count’s second then called Baron Rapp himself to account, and in such a manner that the exasperated baron drew his sword and stabbed the second. What was his morti- fication and chagrin, however, when he dis- covered that the brave second was the Countess Trautmannsdorff, wife of the ead principal! The countess died from the effects of the wound, and the baron ended bis own life from shame.” * soe, WASTE OF FOOD ¥ AMERICANS. Our Careless Table Methods. People From Europe Astonished by An English health journal expresses great surprise at the quantity of food eaten by American against English laborers. It is very curious to see how different foods pre- ponderate in different industries. The tex- tile workers in Europe will have ninety-five pounds of meat per annum for every 100 tnits of consumption, or, say, a quarter of @ pound of meat a day, while steel workers indulge in 114 pounds for every 100 units. On the other hand, the weaver consum¢ more flour than the steel worker—275 rounds per 100 units instead of 208 pounds. He also takes about seventy-one pounds of sugar more per 100 units, and a dozen more eggs; of butter, lard and tea both take about the same, though both in tea and coffee the weaver a little exceeds the other. That is, in the calling which demands the greater muscular exertion,a greater amount of nitrogenous food is required. On the European continent the consump- tion of meat by workers is much less than in Britain. Even in the iron industry the German is little more extravagant than the English weaver, while the Frenchman con- sumes only 573-4 pounds and the Belgian 551-2 pounds. On the cther hand, the lat- ter consume more flour and eggs, more than twice as much of each. Their consumption of coffee, too, Is large—l4 pounds and 19 pounds respectively, to the Englishman's 31-2 poun but it must also be taken in the reckoning that tea does not appear in their accounts. But all these figures pale before the statistics of food consumption in America. The Illinois iron worker manages to con- sume 393 pounds of meat per 100 units, and though this is excessive, 206 1-2 pounds are put down as the average of Pennsyl- vania, 1973-4 pounds for Ohio, 187 1-4 pounds for West Virginia and 155 pounds for Tennessee. The average consumption of flour for the states is about 250 pounds, but voracious Illinois again comes to the fore with 366 pounds, and sugar, butter and eggs are everywhere more lavishly used than in Europe. Here, as in Europe, iron and steel industries are fourd to be more self-indulgent than any other trades, but the expenditure here is far above that of even the most extravagant workers of Europe. Much of the food accounted for in these figures is actually consumed, but a large margin must be allowed for at is wantonly destroyed, and when the his- tory of the waste of food products in the United States comes to be written it will contain some startling and not altogether Pleasant reading. soe A Word Picture of Thackeray. I need scarcely say that when he was not in a techy temper, caused by extreme phys- ical anguish, writes G. A. Sala, Thackeray was one of the most delightful conversa- tionists it was possible to imagine. There were very few subjects indeed on which he could not talk, and talk admirably. He was as fluent in the French and in the German as in the English language. He had, I should say, a fair knowledge of Italian. He was never tired of discoursing about books and bookmen, about pictures and painters, about etchers and engravers and litho- graphers; and, moreover, he was a born wit and a brilliant epigrammatist. 50 we walk- ed and talked, by hustling Knightsbridge in- to crowded Piccadilly; and, halting just op- posite Merel’s, the well-known Italian ware- kouse, Thackeray cbserved that he was about to crder some wine. He made me a bow which, in its sweep- ing stateiiness, would have done honor to Sir Charles Grandison; concurrently giving me his hand, which was cold enough to have belonged to a professor of swimming who had just emerged from his tank, and then he Stalked over the way, leaving in my mind a perplexed impression that he had suddenly forgotten who I was, or that, knowing me, he had arrived at the conelu- sion that I a confounded bore, and that the sooner he got rid of me the better it would be When I came to know him intimately, 1 fully undersicod the reason for these sud- den reactions of apparent hauteur and “standoffishness.” It was only his way. | He could not help that which probably was due either to an acute spasm of bodily pain, or the sudden passing of a black cloud neross the mind of one who, although he could be upon occasion full of fun and frolic, was not, I should say, on the whole, altogether a happy man. From “Things 1 | Have Seen and People I Have Know prosumer a Mothers Under Twenty. From the Popular Health Magazine. Offspring born of mothers under twenty do not have as good chance of healthy life as those born of mothers over thirty, ac- cording to the facts presented at the recent congress of hygiene. It was shown that the proportion of deaths among children of weakly constitutions, or from maladies | traceable to the mother, was twice as large | among the children of ‘the former class as among those of the latter. The healthiest offspring were born of mothers between twenty and thirty, united to husbands be- tween thirty and forty. —— 20s — She (sweetly)—“What beautiful roses; so fresh.

A WILD BOAR CHASE How This Sport is Carried on in India, A LONG RON, BUT FINAL SUCCESS It Was at the Cost of Another Steed’s Life. THE HUNTSMAN’S VENGEANCE UR SMALL CLUS- iter of tents was set on the plain of Gung- thuree. Along the edge of a date grove campfires were re- flected from the large. prominent eyes our Arab horses ‘and fitfully illuminated their beautiful forms. Cool,soft wafts of air rose and fell upon the Godavery as it rolled slowly by, and the moon was full. There is this about India, that wherever sportsmen go the possibili- ties of great and sudden change are im- minent. Every one knows what may lie hidden amcng nature's most lovely scenes; every one feels how instant may be a tran- sition from peace and ease to circumstances in which necessity requires the utmost that any man can do. This, more, perhaps, than anything else, forms the peculiar fascina- tion of jungle life, and makes seasons thus spent haunt the memory always. If a tiger’s gaze was fastened upon us as we sat in the open mess tent, or if, later, when the watch fires burned low, a beast more fell and deadly than a tiger—the Asi- atic panther—might steal through the dark- ness into our camp, none thought of any tragic contingencies there. The wild hog of India, sus cristatus, is a very different creature from its relative of the forest preserves of central or eastern Europe. These animals are larger, heavier, fiveter, flercer than the Jatter. A thin mist was rising from the river and rolling over its adjoining plains when we were roused in the morning, and after a Lght and hasty breakfast, mounted our herses. It had been reported to us on the previous evening that this place held a black boar so big that even oriental hyper- bole failed in aescribing his proportions, The venerable patel of Murray, who had it in charge to collect beaters, made a few wild comparisons and then gave in for want of appropriate figures of speech. Our party was stationed with the usual inter- val between each man, and then the beat began, with its usual horrid din. Sounders of hog broke away in various directions, and single boars were reared who went off at speed, but thus far the game was in- significant, and we knew that liner quarry yet remained concealed in the coverts. But 4s our line of beaters closed in the scrub in front began tu crash, and five gray boars burst cut, fellowed almost immediately by the great black tusker himself. The Black Colossus. ‘These animals had been driven together in the beat, for, like many other dangerous wild animals, the boar, except during his pairing season, is solitary. Even then this brute’s sullen and fierce disposition is such that it is necessary for the mother to hide her progeny, since, otherwise, a boar, like a tiger, would destroy his own offspring. ‘This black Colossus came last, but hisgsuperior speed soon placed him on the flank of that struggling band which had fled before. We gave them hunters’ law, four hundred yards start; then the bugle call to ride was sound- ed, each horseman sloped his spear, bent over the saddle bow, and spurred forward, as pursuers and pursued swept out upon the Gunza plain. Plenty of men are yet in the land of the living who remember what a buffalo chase ever ground undermined by prairie dogs was like. This riding was even worse than that. The entire surface was cracked in alt directions, and its dangerous condition, to a great extent, concealed by the grass. As tor nullahs, every one expects these in In- dia, and they are encountered as matters of course. All horsemen know how seldom a downward jump can be taken, and where these ravines are too wide to leap and too deep to be plunged into, they necessarily throw out the field. But a boar is not put at fault for a moment. He goes to the bot- tom from a height that would break a horse’s neck or back, without the slightest difficulty, and while his enemies are seek- ing a practicable path, their game gallops away, and often escapes. Add to all this, that at one time or another during the hunt a good Arab must be hard pressed in order to bring the rider into a position to make his final push, and also that at the last he is constantly Mable to override his game on account of its rapid doubling, one can easily see how hog hunting calls for the highest combination of nerve and skill, even without counting the closing contest with a boar at bay; and this brute, as it stands champing foam from its gleaming tushes, is an adversary apt to carry wounds and even death in its charge, whatever be the dex- terity and coolness with which it is met. The Long, Hard Chase. “Roldly they rode and well” that scorch- ing day on the Godavery flats, but we can- not follow the varied fortunes of those who spurred after the different beasts. Three men followed the black boar, with Maj. S— lead- ing on his gray Arab, Said. Sometimes its flying form was half or wholly lost as the creature tore through grass patches or clumps of brush, sometimes it was fully re- vealed, leaping lightly over a narrow nul- lah or scurrying across some bare place on the plain, All at once it disappeared, and soon a chasm yawned before them that made each pull hard upon his curb. Their quarry was not to be seen, but these ex- perienced hunters were not checked long. It must have gone up or down, and trusting to their good luck two galloped along the ravine toward the river, while the major, dismounting, scrambled and slid down its crumbling side to the bottom. There he stood and called his horse. No dog is more courageous cr docile than a high caste Arab, Said craned his arched neck over the brink, tried the treacherous footing once or twice, then ploughed a downward course in a cloud of dust, trotted up to his master and rubbed his beautiful head against the major’s shoulder, whinnying and asking for praise. Remounting immediately he galloped up the stifling gorge and saw the boar emerg- ing from a side gulch on to the plain. Long and hard was:that chase ard many a mile lay behind befcre the quarry began to flag. But it was far from being spent, and when Said’s long sweeping stride had carried his rider near enovgh to couch his spear and shake his horse together for the last burst of speed that would drive it home, the brute swerved es quick as lightning, and went off at right angles to the line he had run. The Quarry at Bay. No true sportsman ever throws a spear; either the horse’s impetus carries its point home, or reining in when the animal is brought to bay, he lets it impale itself in its charge. Yet there ts a trick of this wily and savage beast that one can adopt no precautions against, and which, when practiced, leaves no resource except the skill that can be brought to bear at the moment. A wild boar often wheels on the further side of a leap and makes his at- tack at once, before the horse can be fully recovered. This double lost the major a considerable distance, and it was repeated again and again, but now the boar showed unequivocal signs of exhaustion, and Said’s glossy skin was dark with sweat, his flanks were drawn and his broad chest heaved convulsively. Still he came of a race that goes while life is left, and when the quarry plunged into a belt of coppice that fringed a gentle rise in the plain, Said carried his rider through amid a shower of dry, broken twigs. Notwithstanding the comparative ease with ghich it was passed, this brush proved to Ye a barrier fatal to success, for as the rider emerged half blinded from its other side and the boar dashed at him, his spear swerved, it glanced from the point of its shoulder, and pagsing backward, broke as it buried ‘tself between the animal's ribs. Any native would have been ready to make oath that this bamboo shaft had of. beeh cut after tht moon was full. They all, believe that tomghness of fiber depends upon the time at which wood is procured, and many Europeans agree with them. At all events his severe: wound did not stop the boar for an instant, and as he dashed in and made a vicious up-cut, Said reared straight, plunged forward, his head nearly touching the -edfth, and then stood with drcoping crest, shaking in every limb. The gallant gray had seen his aut: hunt, and his fine eyes g' as the blood poured in torrents from a‘@éep gash in his flank. The Nobje’ $teed Avenged. No one need huntsman all of his experiences when He has had to see a horse like this one dfe, dnswering his master’s caresses to the lqst./It is no doubt unreason- j able to feel a bitter spirit of vengeance, but the major lifted his steed’s head from his lap and laid it gently down, as he rose and drew the short curved sword worn in boar hunting, and followed where the beast had trotted sulkily off, with a determination to avenge him or die. It was not necessary to so far. The boar was found climbing slowly Jown a nullah’s side toward some water that lay at the bottom, and by the brink of that stagnant pool they stood confronted, the animal churning bloody foam from its tusks and bristling as it gathered itself for the last rally, and the soldier with uplifted sword. "in the ypaimy days of European venery his, blade would have been short, straight and ‘double edged. The hunter would have sunk on his left knee and presented the weapon ‘at his adversary’s chest with a stiffened arm. In India, however, the old couteau de chasse has never been used generally, and now all depended upon the swing of a sharp heavy blade somewhat loosely held. Eye to eye man ond brute stood for a moment or two, and then the hog dashed forward with every muscle strained. But as his dark form closed in the hunter stepped backward and aside, his sword flashed in the sunlight, and cut down «through the spine behind his shoulder, and the largest wild boar ever slain on the plains of Gung- thuree fell in a heap, shivere EDUCATION ALL IN WASHINGTON, Miss Susan Pollock, 1420 Q St. N.W., School and seen t |S r stitutes, Apply as LouIsE POLLAK MES GRACE 4.
