Old-time Inns-Modern Hotels

The public is apt to forget the inn portant part that hotels play in the af- fairs of this world. The hotels have always been closely related to the public welfare. In these establish ments statesmen and men of affairs meet frequently to consider the public veal and formulate policies for nation state and city. Like the taverns of a century ago, hotels the fountains of news" and news gathers and public men highly appreciate them.
 This class relation between hotels and men of affairs has existed since the foundation of the republic. First, there were the inns and taverns start ed in 1795 and kept on the American plan" The taverns were small, con taining about twenty rooms. The furniture was plain, and meals were served at regular hours. The landlady and her assistants doing the cooking Game was abundant. and some taverns kept hunters. Liquors were on many hotel tables, and the light wines Each tavern had a bar a ballroom, and a stable. When the first congress met in New York in 17S9 the members were mostly accommodated in private boarding houses. In 1795 the taverns of consequence Were in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

The temperature was generally be- low the normal over the Territory dur ing the entire week. The average daily deficiency over the northern counties was l degree; over the central cOun- ties, 8 degrees; over the southern coun- ties, f degrees. Thursday was the cold est day with an average daily defici- ency of degrees to 10 degrees. Light frosts occurred over the northern coun- ties on Thursday and Friday. The day temperatures ranged from IS degrees in the northern counties to 105 degrees in the southern counties; the night temperatures from -26 degrees in the northern counties to 62 degrees in the southern counties.
 Generally clear weather prevailed. A few clouds were visible over the north ern and central counties on Tuesday afternoon.

The snow has disappeared entirely from the southern slopes of the San Francisco noun tains. while on the north side, above the 11,000-ft. level in the deep crevices, ravines and gulches, there remains, as yet, about it. There are about 1t. to 1 1t. of snow on the peaks of the Mount Graham range.

 Arriving in this country, Lieutenant Wakefield was provided with a home In n remote suburb of New York. and with two policemen detailed to assist him lie set to work to train his little pets In the art of trailing and capturing crooks. His task was an arduous one. but after three months patient work he notified Deputy Commissioner Woods that his dogs were eligible to don their uniforms and graduate from the probn- tionary stage to that of fuil -6edged pa- trolmen. Woods journeyed to Wakeneld's retreat and saw the little beasts put through their paces, and accordingly the names of Jim. Nogi. Max. Donna and Lady were duly enrolled. The last two named claim the proud distinction of being the only lady coppers on the metropolitan force. 'o

The police dogs are a decided novelty. both In use and appearance, and they did not fail to attract universal attention at the dog show held last fall at Madison Square Garden. New York. Failing to induce the chief of police ip Ghent to part with sany of his trained dogs. Wakefield purchased five month old puppies Four of these were Belgian sheep dogs, which. when full grown. stand about knee high to n man of aver age height. These dogs weigh about 50 pounds each and have short. shaggy coats. which by no means add to their beauty. They have long. foxlike faces and small. sharp eyes that give them a cunning or quizzical expression. The fifth dog purchased is Groenendael-some- what like the sheep dog. except that IL has long. silky coat md Is by far the prettlest of the lot.

The dogs have been trained to stand guard oyer their pris- oners and notify their two-legged brother officers of their capture by series of barks until they arrive on the run and relieve the dogs of any further part in the work in hand
 In this part of the instruction 1t fell to the lot of Patrolman Beerinan to play the part of a crook.

The next step was to teach them to respond only to the sound of a police whistle. and this was easy to accomplish. An ordinary citizen can whls- tie until he is blue in the face within sight of any one of this auintet without causing them to even prick up their ears. but one blast of a police whistle will send them into mysteries.
