Several incidents OF the year served to
bring out the need for better accommoda-
lions OF prisoners The first to attract pub
lie attention was the death of H. T. Totem
a prominent contractor of West Virginia In
sixth precinct station house cell. Another
phase or the matter was brought out later
When prisoner in Police Court cell was
found mortally i'll and was removed to the
Emergency Hospital, where he died fnves-
tiSation showed that he had been III in the
cell IN the second precinct station house all

to court for hearing partakes of the impos-
ing of a duplicate penalty. 4 modern build
ing, with the latest improved places for
confinement of prisoners. with an armory.
baths and detention room for women and
ample and sufficient office quarters, should
be erected.
The death of Lieut.. Moore, who was I'm
charge of the first precinct in the carly

department

In June the annual police census for the
District was taken. The figures show that
the population of the District at that time
was $3.50. an increase of 3,3l2 over the
year before.
Much interest was taken during October
in the trial of Capt w. H Matthews and
Lieut.. j. f. Mulhall of the fourth precinct
for alleged misconduct in connection with
wreck on the Southern railway in South
west Washington, in which the engineer
(Murply) was killed. The trial board con-
sidered the usual number of neglect of duty

REORGANIZATION AND SALARY
INCREASES OF INTEREST.

The organization of the department, &C
companed by increases in salaries, and the
agitation for more modern and better cells

MAKING HEADWAY ON
 DELINQUENT LIST
indications That Tax Sale Of w. U. A.
 Will Be a Very Brief Function.

Good progress was made yesterday in wiping out the delinquent list in the office of the Water Users assO- citation. Of the entire assessment of about slO.000 there yet remains un- paid only the small sum of $113.35. or only a little more than one per cent A year ago only thirty-one parcels of land remained to be disposed of at the delinquent sale. There are this year forty-four parcels unpaid for yet. less seven on which partial payments have been made, a net of thirty-seven. or six more than were sold last year.
 Several of the deIinquents called at the association office yesterday and said they would be on hand Monday morning early. before the hour of the sale. and pay up their assessments. It is confidently expected the final list will therefore be shorter than last year and IL would indeed be gratIfy- ing if the entire list could be wiped out. The small amount Of money yet due the association is of slight con- sideration compared with the trouble the sale will make for those who per init it to take place. Their titles will he clouded for a mere trifle and these clouds will have to be removed by some one before the lands can get water. If the owners refuse it will afford an opportunity for others Of a speculative turn to make money at their expense. For the sake of the water users themselves. it is urged that every one who can possibly do so. settle up before their property goes to sale on Monday.

The doctor who was sent to Bellevue the other day because he imagined he owned an automobile which he saw in the street will not be pronounced crazy All madness being purely relative. 1t follows that the authorities should judge the doctor in comparison with the rest of contemporary humanity They will then find that many other persons highly esteemed in the com munity also cherish the illusion that they own automobiles whereas one of two things is true-eitier their auto mobiles own them, in which case we call them enthusiasts or else they have their automobiles on their minds. in which case we say that they are struggling to carry the mortgages cre- ated by the machines. Imaginary ownership of automobiles is no longer insanity; 1t is an integral part of pub lie opinion.-New York Tribune.

Bishop Olmstead, as soon as he took up his residence-some three years ago-in Denver. began to take a great interest in the Denver poor. and was continually to b seen in the poorest and squalidest of the city's sums.
 At first the bishop. in his clerical attire. passed along the narrow streets. the loungers and loafers before the saloons would say

 And the reply would be:

 A year passed and a stranger. not ing the respectful way the bishop was stared at in the slums would say:

A few days after the pub lie had been allowed to gain this val uable inside information of the work ings of a newspaper office the afOre- said daily newspaper worm turned.

Charles T. Barney. president of the Anti Smoke league: J. P. Sparrow. chief engineer of the New York Edi- son company, and Dr. Walter A. Ben sel. sanitary superintendent of the health department, are mutually satis- fled. according to the Tribune, with the experiments for smoke consumption conducted at the. Waterside plant of the company. Using the new smoke consuming apparatus and cinder ap- pliances engineers find that coal burns with 15 per cent greater efficiency than by the ordinary method. which creates a nuisance. The vigorous cam paign waged by the Anti Smoke league against the big companies that pollute the atmosphere of this city is one for which they. as well as the public, will in the end be thankful.-New York Times.

A one-legged duck at the home of Charles Riddle of South Third street is the wonder of the neighborhood. In waddling around the yard the duck is d little slow. but by taking long jumps it keeps with the sisters and brothers. However at swimming the duck is a leader.
