To Be Restricted to Christmas.

Mayor Simpson has issued orders to
the police force to restrict horn-blowing
and the discharge of all sorts Of explo-
siyes exclusively to Christmas day. The
reasons given for this order are many,
the main one being that such procedures
are contrary to laws, which have
never been repealed. The fact that the
Christmas season is turned into bedlam
for the purpose of afording stupid graft
fication to one class of the community
has met with earnest protest from quiet
people for many long years, and the
action of Mayor Simpson will be justly
commended. As time goes on, instead
of the innocent powdercracker, danger
GUS and nerve-shattering explosives are
sold to careless boys and accidents are
multiplied at every holiday season. The
law Of the State of Virginia is against all
such contrivances as cannon crackers,
dynamite pistols, caps, etc., and officials
throughout the State, sworn to carry out
laws, should follow the Mayors example
Last year, it will be remembered, every
boy who could procure them was armed
with stick and box of dynamite caps,
and it was dangerous to drive vehicles in
the city for days before and after Christ
mas. There should have been new
departure long ago.

uncle, Andrea Durato. She said she
would stay there until she had made up
her mind whether she would marry Leo.
Not long ago she learned Leo had a

Opera House Last Night.

A play entitled "The Story the
Violets Told" written by Washing
tonian and alleged to have been based
upon the ''yiolet BRIDE incident, which
created sensation in Washington So
ciety several years ago, was produced at
the Opera House in this city last night,
the cast being made up of Washington
professionals and amateurs. Thepla is
said to have followed as closely as posi-
BILE the circumstances alleged to have
occurred following the marriage of the
originals in that city, but was devoid OF
the sensational features that had been
expected and was therefore disappointing
TO the audience which was composed
mostly of Washingtonians.

smeltfshng shelter at the east end of
Bathurst, n. B. The ice hadjust begun

not get home for dinner, and broke
through the ice himself. He was able
to get ashore and after procuring dry
clothing again went on the ice. He
found the three bodies in about four feet
