Appointment of a police matron, in response to a petition from the wom en of the city." was recommended to the city council at its meeting last evening by the finance and health and police committees, to whom the ques tion was referred, the new officer to be quartered on the third floor of the city building. This means that the present admini stration will not have a matron, and it will be a year after the nw admin istration assumes direction of the lo cal government before the officer is named, if the recommendation con curred in are not reconsidered, for the reason that the third floor of the city hall is under lease for another year to Company A of the national guard. The lease was renewed at the first or the present month. The company has been occupying the third floor for the past few years for a meeting place and wardrobe. The members of the two committers that had been confer ring with the women in relation to the appointment, while confessing that they realized that It would be a year - . a at leant before, me matron was piact-i on duty, wanted to be seen In tne poi- t'nn of heartily favoring the addition to the police department, in fulfillment of their promise to the women that they would do a'.l In their power toj l.rinir about the enforcement or u" ordinance under this head. do-ale la Uarlu The aldermen had not told the worn- in that the third floor was under lea.-- for another year.

But I do not believe I will have either the pleasure or honor oi making mis apjujiunut-ui uumi, j brief term of office, for several valid r-as4ns. First, we have no funds avail able for this purpose, and none can be had during the present municipal year, unless through the passage of an emer gency ordinance, and you must agree with me that no such emergency exists. Second, we have no suitable quarters now available. It Is true, the commit tee recommends rooms on the third floor, but to secure them now the lease to the state would have to be annulled and the boys turned Into the street. You are hardly prered for that et HnMral "t Hy far VXmrr. I will say this, however: Should I make the appointment. I would make my own selection.

It had been planned to undertake this improvement during the year under the law enacted by the last legislature empowering cities of the size of Rock Island to initiate public improvements to be paid for by special taxation with out a petition from the abutting prop erty owners, distributing the benefits for several blocks on both sides of the improvement, but this- law has been held to be unconstitutional by the su preme court. Problem Far (he Coaaeil. How the city is to secure the drain age system is the problem that con fronts the council at this day. It could be done by special assessment but a majority of the property holders will not sign, and strongest resistance comes from the owners of the acreage property west of Ninth street. The courre of the proposed train js west on Eleventh avenue from Twentieth to Twelfth streets, then south a couple of blocks, thence on a zlg zag course to the Mississippi With a pumping sta tfon. to be maintained at the mouth of the drain, the total cost would be approximately $200,000. City Attorney W. I Ludolph and City Engineer W. E. Treichler were instructed to con fer and report at the next meeting what in their opinion would be the best course for the city to pursue in providing the drain. rial Ar-epfrd Klaally.

GLIMPSE IN STUDIO Lorado Taft, Famed Chicago Sculptor, Appears at II inois. EXPRESSION OF A SUBJECT Transferring It to Marble or Bronze the Artist's Real Prob lem. Lorado Taft, the famous sculptor, an instructor in the Art institute of Chi cago, addressed a large audience last evening, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian association, at the Illinois theatre, on "A Glimpse of a sculptors oiuuiu, ui, nuw oiaiucs Are Made." The latter subject more clearly explains the lines along which the sculptor spoke-last evening. His studio was reproduced on the stage. and he and his assistant, Mr. crun- nelle, explained every step in their art by their work on the stage. The lec ture, wnne mil oi imormauon. - was given in an entertaining way that won the applause of the audience. The lecturer first devoted some time to a discussion of the artist's problem of putting into marble or bronze the expression of the subject. He went Into a detailed expression, and pointed out the various muscles oi tne iace which give expression. The muscles of expression, said Mr. Taft. are only for the purpose of making hfe more inter esting and more beautiful. He tola how. some years ago, a Frenchman hail discovered the muscles of expression by means of a battery applied to the face of a paralytic subject. Quirk. t'baDBca f Fare. The work which was done on the stage to illustrate the various expres sions of the face was the most enter taining feature of the evening. A large clay model of the head of the Princess of Samballe was made use of. and the sculptor then with a few deft move ments would change a smile into a frown, a frown into a look of surprise or pain: a young face into one marked with age. and one of a beautiful wo man Into that of a man. the last show ing the sculptor's ideal of the Spanish knight, Don Quixote. Death masks were explained to tho audience, and, in fact, every step in the work of the sculptor, from that of model'ng the little clay sketch to chis- i cvne tne stone of the marble statue. In Mr. Crunnelle. Mr. Taft has a very able assistant, and his work in clay- modeling won repeated hearty ap plause from the audience. He molded an ideal child's head in clay, and the completed work was greeted with ' hearty applause. Mr. Crunnelle was' working as a miner in a coal mine near j Decatur. 111., when he was first discov-' cred by Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft told of how he came to learn of the young! mans tnen undeveloped talent, - lie took Mr. Crunnelle to Chicago, and gave him instruction during the Chi cago world's fair. He is now some what famous as a sculptor of ideal child's heads, and the exhibition he gave the audience last evening showed that he is an artist in that line. Tribute to Ilia Aa.latant. The pieces shown on the 6tage were largely the work of Mr. Crunnelle, and Mr. Taft paid him high tribute in the course of his address. The evening's entertainment closed with the exhibi tion of the plaster cast of a child's head, the work of Mr. Crunnelle. This was made when Mr. Crunnelle had been working under Mr. Taft but a short time, and mas made from a study of one of Mr. Crunelle's children. Lorado Taft himself is a native of Illinois, and a graduate of the Univer sity of Chicago, where he gained his first art instruction. H ewent to Paris In 1880, and for three years studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He took several prizes for his work while a student in Paris, and since returning to Chicago in 1880. to become instruc tor In the Art institute, has won great fame In his work. The Diamond Cure.
