Police Statistics of New York.

One is apt to be alarmed by seeing in the police report for 1887 that there were 81,176 arrests in this city during the year. But he would be reassured by looking at the classification of tho cases and noticing that nearly 60,000 of that number were arrested for such offenses as disorderly conduct, drunkenness, and violation of the city ordinances. The Germans, in proportion to their numbers, show up by far the* best in the report, and, in fact, they had less than half their quota of offenders, as compared with the other elements of our population. It appearsthat the police had a good deal of business with professional men, for they arrested 106 lawyers, eighty doctors, eighty-three editors and reporters, and ten clergymen. “It is men, not women, who are your criminals,” Elizabeth. Cady Stanton said in a recent speech and this report shows that three times more men than women were arrested during the year, or, to be exact, 61,835men and 19,241 women. —New York Sun.

A pretty one is made of Swiss with large polka dots woven in the goods. Make wide hems on the ends and narrow ones on thq sides.
