POLICE SEARCHING WOMEN.

A NOVEL SCENE IN MILWAUKEE POLICE COURT.

There is a movement on foot to provide for lady attendants at the Police
Station, so that when a woman is arrested, and it is necessary to search
her for concealed weapons, or money or incendiary documents, that duty
can be performed by a person of the same sex as the prisoner. The _Sun_
is anxious that this new departure be adopted at once, as it is very
annoying for us to be called away from our business, every day or
two, to aid the police--that is, of course, we are willing to be of
assistance to anybody, but there _are_ times--anybody will admit that.

The need of lady members of the police force was never illustrated any

of the city papers were there, as usual, ready to lend a helping hand.
The searching of the old lady was done in short order, by Detective
Smith, who went about it in a business-like manner; but when it was time
to search the young woman, and he looked into her soft, liquid eyes, and
saw the emotion that she could not suppress, his heart failed him, and
he sat down to write out his resignation. Tears came into his large,
fawn-like eyes, and he called upon Mr. Northrop, correspondent of
the Chicago _Times_, to assist him. Mr. Northrop had been inured to
hardships, and knew much about the manner in which female persons
conceal money, and being one of the "Willing Workers," he told Mr. Smith
that he would help him.

The lady was told to remove her outward apparel, and to look steadily
out of the window. She got behind a curtain-cord, and, in less time
than it takes to write it, she threw her dress to the men, from her
concealment behind the curtain-cord. The two men found a pocket in the
dress, but to save them they couldn't find the pocket hole.. The dress
was turned the other side out forty times, to find the pocket hole.

Mr. Yenowine, of the _News_, who was present, said if they would hang
the dress up on a hook he could find the pocket hole in the dark. He
said there couldn't anybody fool
