OF course, there must be master Of this
huge machine, man Of experience and
executive ability, to guide, control, punish
and reward. To certain degree he is a
subordinate of others, but in a larger meas
ure he is an able autocrat. His name is
William Murray, and his title Is superin-
tendent of police.
There are at least three reasons why Mr.
Murray is a proper man for the place he
has so efficiently filled during the last five
years. To begin with, he was born in the
city and knows his New York like a book
Again, he has made his way up from the
ranks to the post of commander and, finally
he is veteran of the war; Here in brief is
his record: Born, 1914; member Ellsworth
zouaves, 1873; patrolman, 1865: sergeant,
1870; captain, 1876; inspector, 1877; superin
tendent, 1885 Not a bad showing-a soldier
at IL, chief of the metropolitan police at Al

of public service Mr.. Murray has had many
of those exciting experiences that fall to
the lot of the officer bent on doing his duty

Gotham-after securing permission from
his superiors-presented Mr.. Murray oil

and steady stream of courage, intelligence
and fidelity.
Because this is the case New Yorl
criminal generally makes progress uneX

POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

lowed; neither is corporal punishment. An
offender, instead of being soundly birched,
is fined. Full information is given the pu-
pills regarding their duties, and besides this
they are put through thorough course of
training by a surgeon, so that they may
know what to do to aid the injured.
After mastering all necessary prelimin-
aries they are assigned to 'easy" routes
hkethose in the Thirty-fifth precinct, where
the novices may have plenty of walking,
lots of fresh air, no elevated trains and few
burglars
However, for the regular patrolman, the
"tenderfoot" as well as the veteran, the
same hours prevail. The following extract
from the rules plainly indicates that an
officer is not person of much leisure:
The police day commences at 6 n m. The
patrol force in each precinct is divided into
two platoons. Each platoon is divided into
two sections. 1t takes ninety-six hours to
complete a round Of tours. The schedule
gives thirty-six hours patrol, twenty-eight
hours reserve, thirty-two hours home to
each man. Much extra duty is performed in
reserve" hours; time also given for meals
out of reserve" hours. "Home" hours
are often broken by attendance at court;
also by emergencies, as strikes, riots, mass
meetings, large professions, fires, etc. "Re-
serve" means readiness for active service
other than patrol, as well as rest.
The schedule is so arranged that from
to a. m. each day only one-fourth of the
force are on active duty, the other three
fourths being at their homes. From 6 to
10 at night, on the other hand, half the men
are patrolling beats, the other half being
held in reserve at the various station
houses.
There are in New York thirty-five pre-
cincts and one sub-precinct. The smallest
Of these is the Thirty-ffth, located north of
the Harlem river, where fifty-three men
comprise the force. The largest is the
Nineteenth, or "tenderloin," with total
roster of 133 The Nineteenth is called the
'tenderloin" district because within its
limits are included the fashionable streets
where the wealthy people of the city re

front feet are like those of an ordinary

its hind legs are hairless. Instead of hoofs
on the hind feet there are two prongs or
toes, each about four inches long, and these
end with sharp pointed claws. Its tail is

Some of the Hunters.

Mr.. E. bosch has returned from his
deer hunting expedition and reports that
nary deer came under his obServ alton.
Herman Schultze says San Antonio
hunting grounds are rapidly growing
worse and worse. Quails he reports fat
but very far between, and the few cotton
tail rabbits are getting Shrewder every
week. He says things are getting to be
such THAT the only thing worth hunting
for when we go out shooting is hunting
for the bottle.
One of our well known German citizens
returned from hunt yesterday. The
report of his success which he read to a
bunch of friends at the Arbeiter Verein
corner reads exactly as follows:
One rabbit, c.; water huhn: doks; 1
schnipe; Yack schnipes.
Mr.. h. w. Stevens, prominent citizen
of Sedalia, Mo-, and mayor of that city,
is in town on pleasure tour. Being fond
OF hunting for the wild, unwary game, he
undertook to show his Texas friend how
to bag the fat quail. Great were the eX-
pectations of the mayor of Sedalia town
as he pulled out that day for the chapparal
OF San Antoine. Amused and curious
were the friends of the sanguine hunter
when he returned after few hours with
a half amused and half subdued express
sion on his face, and one poor half starved
quail that must have been killed at the
very muzzle of the gun, in his hand.
There was little that the distinguished
northern mayor had to say that day;
he only regretted that his friend,
Mr.. John Henry Sommers wasn't with
him to look out for the birds while he
was preparing for the far-famed rattle
snake which he continually expected to
put in its appearance. Mayor Stevens
friends say that he might have bagged a
bird or two more if the giving out of the
rattleSnake antidote had not prudently
compelled him to return home. However,
we almost discredit this libeous excuse.
Messrs. HI. Z. futile and party of
four left today for Rockport for weeks
hunting and fishing. They will charter a
sloop and propose to leave nothing but
teal for the others.
