THE TIN HORN WAS BARRED.
Chicago Lets the Old Year Go Out In
Dead silence.


Dead silence.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2.--For the first time within
the memory Of man the Old Year went out
in this city in silence. The tin horn was
barred Chief BreEnan's order TO suppress
the festive tin horn. the dulcet conch shell.
and the car-splitting cracker was n dire
blow at American liberty. and many is the
small boy who had been careful of his
words during the weeks past. saving his
wind for blast that would equal the final
trump. who will treasure up this general
order number so-and-so against the worthy
chief and get even in after life. Such a
sancity rcrvadcd the streets Us might we'll
bciit Pompcii or Uerculaneum.
In the place of the gay crowds that
swarmed and jcs;lcd each other, wishing
all happy New Year or blowing 10000
cubic feet of air through n monster siren,
there was the bcla;ed street car crawling
along with pneumatic tires for fear of a
possible squeak. In place of the young
man who had accumulated his gigantic jag
of joy, all over" rs he explained, who
used 10 cry out: 'Hurrah for Tophet.
Everybody yell for his own country there
was the evcr-present but very evanescent
copper with drawn club to swat" the
first man who cxhaled his breath above
pianissimo.
New Years was observed here according
20 time honorcd custom. The hungry
were fed. the prisoners Of the penal insti-
