q oCIETY is just emerging from
Il its summer gayeties, somewhat
ASS rumpled and tired, but quite
ready, after a few weeks of
~ rest, to plunge into the indoor
affairs that are in embryo for
the approaching winter. Quite
few weddings have occurred during the
fortnight-and not a few betrothals;
these are the usual concomitants of the
summer season, and fitly so. Girls never
look so fascinatingly pretty as they do
garbed in the diaphanous gowns of sum-
mer, and the men-well, they, too, look
attractive and. besides. they have suffi-
cient leisure in which to make love. ProX-
unity, too, is an important factor in
these summer matings, but the fact re-
mains that many happy weddings have
been reGprded within the fortnight Thus
does summer subserve our happiness in
many WAYS.

various turns. are all new and have
smade Immediate hits. Many of the
acts offered receive salaries of $3.50 to
5000 per week and are recognized as
being the leading comedy and musical
acts throughout the country. Every
act is high class and strictly refined
and polite. This same policy will be
maintained by the management the
entire season. These shows are played
with the one idea of furnishing the
best musical and comedy acts together
with singing and dancing to the pat
rons and thereby Offering clean and
fashionable amusement. the same as
is so popular in the larger cities.
The headline act is that of Murphy
and Willard in an extremely comical
sketch entitled "Doughnuts." This Is
one OF the most laughable acts ever
seen In this city.
Another one of great interest is the
eccentric juggling OF the famous Dar-
mody. He is really wonder.
Leslie and Curdy sing few clean
songs and tell some new Jokes but are
great entertainers.
Miss Bessie Baus Is a petite and
charming soubrette who sings and
dances herself into popular favor al
every performance.
Besnah and Miller do an inimitable
comedy singing and dancing act which
Is both sweet and artistic. This act Is
one of the very best.
Miss Ray Cox is a clean comedienne
and sings coon songs and does mon
ologue In characteristic manner. She
Is quite original.
There will be as usual daily mat
inees at 3 p. m. and evening perform
ances at $3.50.

LOSES:
FILES APPEAL
Judge Harter Hands
Down Decision In
Election Case.

The long-contested Massillon cleo
tion case was passed upon by Judge
Harter Monday morning, the writ of
peremptory mandamus asked for by
Frank A. vogt being denied and the
petition dismissed. Vogt was Demo-
cratic candidate for member of the
board of public service at the spring
election and by one set of returns was
declared elected to the Office. A certi-
ficate OF election was denied him for
the reason that 1t was discovered that
there had been an error In making the
returns, and for the further reason that
the parties making the canvass of the
vote were not authorized to do so,
This at least was the contention of
the acting city clerk and Jacob G..
Foltz. the Republican candidate.
In passing upon the case Judge Har-
ter stated that Jacob c. Haring. who
with Justice Henry B. Sibila made the
count OF the vote, was not at tnat time
defacto or deputy clerk of the city
and could not legally make a canvass
of the returns and certify to them. He
had simply been appointed by the city
clerk to do the work. The statute re-
quired that such appointment be made
by the city council. This count was
made April and Haring was not ap-
pointed until some time after this.
Haring himself discovered the error
by an examination. Of the law. The
court stated that Haring had no more
right to canvass that vote than any
other citizen. A second canvass Of the
vote after Haring had been legally
appointed showed that the Republican
candidate had been elected and he was
therefore sworn in.
1t was also held that Haring had an
adequate remedy at law, If his conten-
tions were just and he should have pro-
ceeded to enforce his right. that the
! court could not issue peremptory
writ of mandamus except in very ex-
traordinary cases.
Attorney A. A. Thayer who was as
sociated with City Solicitor Howells
in the case, gave notice of appeal and
the bond was fSed at $500. Attorneys
McMillen and Lynch appeared for Har-
ing. who was made the defendant in
the case.

BRIGADE SIGNAL CORPS.

To Be Reorganized Along Modern
 Lines Wireless Telegraphy.
 The military authorities in this state are preparing plans to reorgan- ize the Signal corps of the c. N. G. and have it up-to-date. When First Lieutenant T. c. B. Shell resigned the command of the First section, Captain W. F. M. Rogers of New Lon- don, the chief signal officer, requested that the choosing of his successor be deferred until the Signal corps should be reorganized.. The property of the section has been re- moved from the First regi- ment armory to the state arsenal. as the section did not have command ing officer and no one at the armory was responsible for it. AdJutant Cole said yesterday that the delay in ordering successor chosen to Lieu tenant Shell was due to the plans un- der foot to have the Signal corps be- come a more modern organization. The old days of wigwagging have passed and wireless telegraphy is now being introduced among the Signal corps men. General Cole said that when the corps was reorganized the necessary paraphernalia would be procured and the organization would be placed upon a modern basis. The First is the only division that has It's complement of officers.

CIVIL SERVICE FOR MATRoN.
Police Commissioners Request That an
 Examination Be Called For.

Police Commissioners Request That an
 Examination Be Called For.
 New Haven, Dec 23.-The provisions of the civil service rules as applica ble to the municipal situation, and particu- larly to that of the police natron,- greatly simplifies the question to the police commissioners. These rules call for the appointment of the police matron under the civil service rules and after an examination. This de- cision will also serve to eliminate any action on the part of committee who desired to have the appointment or the police matron at headquarters made according to their recommenda- tions.
 The matter of the police matron was brought up at the meeting of the police commissioners last evening. Chlef-of- Police Wrinn announced that he had number of applications for the position, and asked information of the board as to their disposition. When the matter was finally brought up Cammissioner l. NJ. Ullman read a portion of the rules of the civil service commission, ana then moved that the president of the board. s. $. Thompson. be instructed to request the civil service board to call an examination of candidates for the position.

 tThe record of the last two years has been crowded with iustrous achieve ments. The young president has given freely and without stint his physical and mental strength in the service of his country No burden laid upon him has seemed too great, and from no ob- stacle has he shrunk when it seemed to him to lie in the path of civic useful ness. All may not agree with every but the loftness of his ideals, the pu- rity of his motives, the course of his convictions, the stainlessness of his purposes. are, believe, generally rec ognizedn
