.,Many Enjoyable entertainments OF Pleas'
ant Social Nature Took Place.
All Halloween In this city was
observed much the same as of yore.
T1e usual amount of youthful dew
ilishness was let loose and today's
morning light revealed such minor
damsges about the city IS resi-.
dents eyes have become accustomed
to seeing on the day after this par,
-ticular fete night. There may, per
haps have been fewer gates re-
moved, but a surplus of changed
signs will serve to keep the balance.
lust the exact number of vehicles
that strayed away from their proper
owners during the night has not
vet been summed up, but we be-
lieve that the industrious imps
overlooked very few. Altogether
1t may be said that the "celebra-
ton" was a success, being as far
from a night of cali Saints" as
could be expected.
During the early evening, from
the hours of seven to nine, the
principal streets were tlronged
with the confetti and bean throw
ers who greatly enjoyed the thing
themselves, but made life miserable
for the pedestrians who did not en-
ter into the spirit of the occasion
OF the latter cla>s there were very
few, however, since those not wish
Ing to p rticipate or to witness the
fun iou ID important business at
home for the evening. The streets
within a short time after the bean
throwing began had the appearance
of being covered with ground In.
dian corn meal. when the gentle
lshoesteps of the merrymakers had
made powder of the grain and con
fetti.
Following the retiring of the
bean brigade the organized gangs
that had been enjoying themselves
In the outer sections of the city. In.
vaded the business streets and com
mitted the depredations that leave
the most lasting impression. The
kindly.intentioned marauders per.
petrated the time-honored joke OF
placing beer signs over millinery
stores aud other innocent pranks
suggested by memory ot former
years. Even these had nearly all
returned by the hour of midnight
and the city was left In a semi
peaceful condition.
A large number of social events
were enjoyed throughout the city
and suburbs, the most prominent
of which was the ball given by the
New Century Club In 'he
Auditorium theatre. The occT
sion was a most delightful one and
some twenty guests participated in
the festivities. 1t was the Initial en-
tertainment given by this new or
