1t was brave and lustrous banquet;
and a noisy one, too because there was
an orchestra among some plants at one
end of the long dining room, and after
a preliminary stiffness the guests were
impelled to verse-necessarily at
the tops of their voices. The whole
company of fifty sat at a great oblong
table, a continent OF damask and lace,
with shores of crystal and silver run
ming up TO spreading groves of orchids
and lilies and white roses-an inhab-
tied continent, evidently, for there
were three marvellous, cleaning build
ings; one in the center and one at each
end, white miracles wrought by some
inspired craftsman in sculptural icing.
They were models in miniature, and
they represented the Sheridan build
ing, the Sheridan apartments, and the
pump works. Nearly ali the guests
recognized them without having to be
told what they were, and pronounced
the likenesses superb.
The arrangement of the table was
visibly baronial. At the head sat the
great Thane, with the flower of his
family and of the guests about him;
then on each side came the neighbors
of the "old" house, grading down to
vassals and superintendent
cashiers, heaCs Of departments, and the
like-at the foot, where the Thane'
lady took her place as a consolation fol
the less important. Here, too, among
, the thralls and bondmen, sat Bibb'

how anybody could look at him anC

Nevertheless, there was a vast. con

the clatter and clinking of silver ant

During the year improvements and

installation of "a new cells on the first

"HE formation OF a traffic squad to
handle the ever increasing auto
mobile traffic was one Of the i'm
portant matters taken up by the police
department during the past year. From
a force OF three men, the detail has
been increased 10 nine for each shift
and every point Of traffic congestion is
now being regulated by a policeman
5000 Autos to Regulate.
4 The increase in traffic on the streets
Of the city has been little short Of
marvellous. over 1000 automobile
licenses were issued out Of the office
OF the county clerk during the year
and there are now in excess of 5000
machines in the city. So heavy an in
crease in a year has brought about
condition that is strictly up to the po-
lice department TO handle, and il is
being handled
Uses Nine semaphores.
The department has just received

are located at the following street in
tersecti0ns. in charge OF a traffic Off
Ger; Fl PasO and san Antonio street;
Oregon and San Antonio streets; Mesa
and san Antonio streets; Stanton and
san Antonio streets; Mesa and Texas
streets: Mesa and Mills streets Oregon
and Mills streets, and Mesa and Mon
tana streets. The new semaphOres are
equipped with two sets of Go and
stop" signs, one set at an elevation
OF II feet and the other seven feet
The lower set Of fans have been pro-
vided to enable drivers close TO the
semaphore to see the instructions.
The traffic squad has been created
without increasing the police force. the
men being selected from the body Of
patrolmen and given special instruc-
ton in the work Of handling traffic.

Adopts Finger Print System.
The police department has adopted
The finger print system of criminal
Identification, and every man arrested,
who bears earmarks Of having Grim

years, but the work OF Photographic
