POLICE FORCE BUSY.
Everybody Giving Attention to Inau-
gural Dav Details.

Everybody at police headquarters was
busy this morning and had no time to dis
cuss topics other than those pertaining to
the Inauguration. Maj Sylvester and his
assistants were on hand early and were
ready to deal with callers long before the
usual time for opening the offices. The de-
tective Office was open all night, usual,
and the officers in charge experienced a
quiet night. Very few complaints of al
legged theftS We're made One man did re-
port the loss of a pair of shoes, and sew
eral other complaints of little Importance
were recorded Additional special police
men appeared at headquarters today, were
sworn in and assigned to the different pre-
cincts. Most of the detectives from other
cities were on hand this morning and an
swered roll call at o'clock. All the pre-
cinct detectives were at headquarters this
morning and were assigned to duty with
the visiting SleuthS.
1t is probable that most of the detectives
will perform almost continuous duty from
now until Sunday They were very much in
evidence about the railroad stations and
hotels today, as we'll as in the crowds.
Special policemen in civilian clothes were
also in evidence. Some of the more enthu-
siastic ones lost no opportunities to "call
down some of those who We're seen in
fringing upon the regulations. Others
seemed more anxious to avoid duty than
they did to risk getting in trouble with a
belligerent person
Two of the specials were strolling along
Pennsylvania avenue this morning a short
time after being sent out to perform their
first police duty and one of them thought
he would get in practice by calling a small
boy to account for standing on the side
walk.
Move on was his order to the boy,
land move fast or I'll run you in
You amt nothin but one of them spe-
cial policemen" the youth retorted, land
you won't run me nowhere. That's more
than real policeman do
will you listen to the impudence of the
kd?' said the first special to his partner.
But you won't run me in just the same
persisted the boy.
why won't / ?' the special asked.
Because" said the boy, I've got lame
leg and can't run; now will you be good?
The specials moved on.
Three specials who were sworn in this
morning went away from headquarters
carrying satchels. The third one attracted
the attention of Major Sylvester. The
major was proud of this particular one and
commented upon his fine appearance as he
disappeared from view. The special was
wearing his badge on the breast of his coat
was swinging his baton in one hand and his
valSe in the other.
There he goes" the major remarked
but hope he hasn't a 'speakeasy' in the
valiSe."

The Anti-Amputation Japs.

From the London Globe.
During the present war the Japanese have
followed the new rule generally of not am
putating shattered limbs on the fields CT
battle, but of putting plaster of paris
dressing on them. So far, out of 800
wounded Russians, only one arm has been
amputated, and in that case the arm had
to be removed in consequence Of trouble
supervening. In all cases the bones have
healed WELL 1t is clear that the gunshot
wounds from the modern infantry rife are
less dangerous to life than they were in
former days. Wounds received In the lungs
or stomach heal often without any surgical
treatment or operation. All pieces of shot
or garments taken from wounded men are
sent to Tokyo. where they are being pro-
served, as are also all other .'preparations''
resulting from the surgical treatment Of
the wounded.

Punch and Judy Came From China.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Punch and Judy dates back to about ], 600
years before Christ.
When the Emperor Mu of the Chou dy-
nasty was making a tour through the en-
pire a skilled mechanic named Yen Shib
was brought into his presence to entertain
him and the ladies of his court. Yen Shib
had some automatic figures which not only
were capable of dancing, but of accom-
panying their movements with song.
During the performance the puppets cast
such significant glances toward the ladies
that the emperor became angry and order
ed the execution of the originator Of the
play. The mechanic ripped open the pup
pets and proved to his astonished majesty
that they were artificial Instead of being
executed Yen Shib was allowed to repeat
the performance, which corresponds to
Punch and Judy Of England and America.

Phoenix City band, paraded the streets
in costume, going thence to the dell.
The parade was fine feature of the
occasion, and was witnessed by hun
dreds of spectators.
Mr.. W, w. Dykes, grand prophet oil
the state, Improved Order of Red Men,
welcomed the visitors, as did Mr.. E. A.
Nisbet upon behalf of the city. Both
addresses were replete with eloquence
and assurances of cordial hospitality.
The dell was IN perfect condition, and
the visitors enjoyed the day there to
the fullest extent. A band of music
made happy the hundreds of dancers,
while boating on the broad bosom of
the placid Muekslee, fishing and car
rage driving were also enjoyed.
Various races and games were like
wise features of the occasion.
During the afternoon dozens of young
couples drove over the city, while the

nickers returning to their homes tired
but happy, and well pleased with their
visit here.
