Pullman has submitted his an¬ nual report and estimates for the fiscal year 1916. "And now he hopes Congress will act favorably on the several new items," said a member of his command. One of the chief items of interest to the superintendent, it is stated, is the one which is intended to put the police pensioners in a position to get 100 cents on the dollar, or every cent to which they are justly entitled. Another item of interest is the re¬ quest for more pay of certain officials 'of the department and the telephone operators in the central bureau of the | department. | "The operators," said a member of ! the department, "certainly should get art increase in salary. They hold posi- j tions of considerable more importance than some of the higher salaried men in the department, and the bureau is an institution through which much of the more important business of the de¬ partment passes. "And the operators must necessarily j he men of honor and integrity," he added, "and men who are fully capable J of handling the business of so impor- tant a branch of the service." The work of pickpockets in several of the larger business houses a week ago interfered with the vacations of several members of the detective bu- reau. Five detectives were on leave when the sudden outburst came, and word was sent to them to report for duty immediately. Detective E. W. Boyle was the only one out of the city. He was at Rock Point with his wife, prepared for duck shooting, but business interfered with pleasure, and the latter hid to be aban- [ doned. Maj. Pullman has instructed members of the force to more rigidly enforce the law requiring dogs to be muzzled. Complaints made to headquarters were to the effect that a great many un¬ muzzled dogs had been teen on the streets. Members of the force have been in¬ structed to see that bicyclists comply with section 16 of the traffic regula¬ tions. The section refers to the stop¬ ping of vehicles within fifteen feet of a street car that is taking on or dis¬ charging passengers. L W. Payne, private in the first pre¬ cinct, is visiting relatives at Purcell- villc, Va. Private C. R. Samson, member of the White House squad, has taken ten days* vacation to do early Christmas shopping. J. C. Holmes, member of the first pre¬ cinct force, detailed at New York ave¬ nue and 15th street, is taking a few days' rest. Private T. Percy Elliott of the first precinct last week took a short vaca¬ tion. Detective Jules R. Simpson of the first precinct visited friends In New- York recently. Members of Capt.

Waverlev F. Thornhill of the third precinct has returned from a gunning trip. He did his shooting in Virginia. Sergt. O. C.

Jack Bennett, the popular wagonman of Capt. Flather's precinct, had to dis¬ pose of a legal question while on a Running: trip in Maryland last week. He was on the farm c* a friend, when he sighted a squirrel that crossed an imaginary line between two farms. "I knew nothing: of boundary lines," said Jack, "and when I blazed away the squirrel fell on the farm of my friend's neighbor." The neighbor appeared and claimed the squirrel. "You may shoot all you want from the other farm." said the neighbor, "but -what drops on my farm belongs to me." "And I quite agreed with him." said Jack, relinquishing what claim he thought he had. Clarence Ford, private in the eighth precinct, has gone to Virginia to visit relatives. He said he would be there at hog-killing time. Samuel Harden of the eighth pre¬ cinct. has gone to Podge.

Dellamico, bicycle policeman in the ninth precinct, is enjoying twelve days' vacation. FIRE DEPARTMENT. .> "I regret very much that some means I cannot be found to cause a material reduction in the number of fal3e alarms," commented Chief Wagner in a report to the Commissioners. I The ,Qhief's report shows an increase of twenty-five such alarms during the (last fiscal year as compared with the previous fiscal year. "And this increase," he said, "is a | source of much regret, as it. was hoped 'that the ever-increasing: vigilance of the police department and its efforts to secure arrest and conviction of per- sons responsible for suc h alarms would lead to a cessation or large reduction in the number of such offenses." ] Ninety-six false alarms were sounded during the twelve months. "Comparatively few persons have witnessed the Firefighter engaged in work along the water front," remarked a fireman, "and perhaps not many per- sons outside the department have any idea of the work the boat is able to do." The boat is 101 feet long and has a beam of twenty-thrpe and one-half feet. It is equipped with two duplex pumps, each with a displacement of 3,000 gallons of water a minute, and the boat has fourteen connections for two-and-one-half-inch hose. "And in addition to fighting fires," said the fireman, "the boat is an ice breaker." Sergt. O. R. Moxley of Chief Wag- ner's office force had such an enjoyable time on a recent gunning trip to Anne Arundel county. Mil., that he hopes to repeat the outing before the Christmas holidays. He may go ducking on his next trip. Private M. W. Thayer of No. 3 truck j company has returned from his wed- ding trip. Thayer stole a march on his companions, going away a week before the date fixed lor his marriage, (getting married and enjoying a trip. He returned to duty Wednesday.

A proposition to employ counsel to take charge of the bill was voted on and defeated. Capt. Charles E. Schrom of No. 1 engine company, having recovered from the effects of a goose dinner, is preparing for a feast to be given at the com- ipany's quarters by members of his company.

He spent his holiday at home. M. T. llizer, member of Capt. P. P. 'Martin's truck company, last week took four days' holiday and went on a gun¬ ning and fishing trip to the Kappa- bannock river.

W. Reid of No. 25 engine company last week was one of several firemen who participated in a success- ful light to .save the fodder in John Martin's cornfield. "Reid helped put out the fire," re¬ marked a member of his company, "and then two of us had to go to work to save his life and clothrng. "And," he added, "we feaved all his clothing except his trousers." Members of No. 1 truck company ap¬ preciate what the Y. M. C. A. is doing for them. Every Tuesday evening a member of that organization gives an interesting talk, and music makes the meeting attractive.

Often the excuse is worse than the offense. Responsibility that carries no weight is not responsible. The future is what we hoped the past might have been but wasn't. How easy it is to acquire something vou don't want. The youth who has to scratch for a living sows but few wild oats. The first settler in a new country may be the last to settle his bills. A man's club membership is some¬ times a club in the hands of his wife. It's easier to get people to take your advice than to make them use it. Too great a command of language sometimes lessens a woman's matri- monial 'chances. As a rule the more a man lias to say about women the more he doesn't really know about them. A woman's smile may wreck a man's heart, but it is usually another kind of smile that wrecks his constitution. If horses could talk, no doubt their voices would be heard through the land calling for an improved breed of hostlers. An old bachelor says there is but one thing sweeter than love's young dream, and that is to wake up and find yourself still single. Some small minds have great thoughts. The younger a man is the more he has to unlearn. Silent watches of the night are those we forget to wind. Every dog has his day, but, like men. they always want more. An ignorant man is usually ignorant of the fact that he is ignorant. Nothing jolts a smart man so hard as being beaten at his own game. Youth is going to do things tomor¬ row that old age didn't do yesterday. When a woman loves a man she loves to make him believe that she doesn't. A man seldom realizes the worth- lessness of his earthly possessions until he tries to pawn them. It is decidedly rough on the leading lady of a theatrical aggregation when she is compelled to step off the track to let a train go by. Through an operation at the Pres¬ byterian Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital. Baltimore, Miss Julia Vincent, sixteen years old, who ran a hatpin in her eye. causing her to become partially blind, fias regained her sight.

quest for more pay of certain officials'of the department and the telephoneoperators in the central bureau of the

| department.| "The operators," said a member of! the department, "certainly should getart increase in salary. They hold posi-

j tions of considerable more importancethan some of the higher salaried menin the department, and the bureau is aninstitution through which much of themore important business of the de¬partment passes."And the operators must necessarily

j he men of honor and integrity," headded, "and men who are fully capableJ of handling the business of so impor-tant a branch of the service."The work of pickpockets in several

I cannot be found to cause a materialreduction in the number of fal3ealarms," commented Chief Wagner ina report to the Commissioners.

I The ,Qhief's report shows an increaseof twenty-five such alarms during the

(last fiscal year as compared with theprevious fiscal year."And this increase," he said, "is a

| source of much regret, as it. was hoped'that the ever-increasing: vigilance ofthe police department and its effortsto secure arrest and conviction of per-sons responsible for suc h alarms wouldlead to a cessation or large reductionin the number of such offenses."

] Ninety-six false alarms were soundedduring the twelve months."Comparatively few persons have

witnessed the Firefighter engaged inwork along the water front," remarkeda fireman, "and perhaps not many per-sons outside the department have anyidea of the work the boat is able todo."The boat is 101 feet long and has a

beam of twenty-thrpe and one-halffeet. It is equipped with two duplexpumps, each with a displacement of3,000 gallons of water a minute, andthe boat has fourteen connections fortwo-and-one-half-inch hose."And in addition to fighting fires,"

said the fireman, "the boat is an icebreaker."
