west. Mr.. Turner's duties have been
extended so that he will be required to
investigate the hours Of Chinese labor,
wages paid them, condition of employ
ment and other questions involving the

duties of another commissioner but the

ALL NIGHT LIGHTS.
Massillon, Oct. 16.-For the first time
in the city's history the inhabitants who
keep late hours had the pleasure of
walking home with their pathway flood
ed with electric light. The all night
schedule recently adopted by the city
council went into effect and the fellow
STAYED after midnight at his girls home
did not have to wear out his whistler
in keeping up his courage on his way
home. Likewise the ever watchful cop
was able to cover more ground as he
saved the time usually employed in
striking matches to discover where he
was at. The snow white fire plugs may
now be seen in all their glariness during
all hours of the night and the firemen
will hereafter not be compelled to get
out searchwarrant after midnight to
locate hydrant. The new schedule is
decidedly satisfactory.

ball enthusiasts were filled with glory
