Captain John Gladwin Jebb of the
English army died few years ago.
He was a man of great erudtion and
of wide experience as traveller in
all parts of the world. A residence
of several years in India confirmed an
original aptitude for mystical studies
and led to some strange investigations
and adventures. AS he was a man
of the highest character, of keen pow
ers of observation. and of unimpeach.
able veracity, his statements are en-
titled to more than usual attention.
In speaking of the exploits of the
fakirs, one of the features of East In
dian life, he said that he had once
been sitting at mess with a dozen fell
low officers, when fakir appeared
at the door and begged for contribu-
tons. The mess room was about %
feet long by - in width. and was light

Miss Edith Randolph a few days
ago and the occasion being a So
ciety affair, Mr.. Mailer wrote this
account OF the event:
"The bride wore a beautiful dress
of French lawn; at least that's
what they said it was"
"The groom tthat means "me")
wore the customary black-hand-m me
down, and was ah t scared to
death"
There was no bridesmaid or

not think he could find a better
one than himself"

REhAEM8ER WOMAN'S GLANCE

 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyea uvre green or that ClsUpatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with ths vaccinations of those fascinating la dies. nor dulled their reputations as coquettes.

Special Guest of Y. M. C. A.

V. w. Helm, national secretary of ia
pan Young Mems Christian Associations,
whose address before the big theater meet
ing in Washington last February will be
recalled by many, was the guest of the
Washington Y. M. c. A. officials the past
three days, and during his visit addressed
several gatherings of association workers.
Among other functions in his honor a din
ner at the association dining room last
Saturday was rendered Mr.. Helm by John
B. Sleman, jr., and in the evening President
Woodward entertained about fifty gentle
men at his home in Wyoming avenue in
Mr.. Helms honor. At these functions the
in Manchuria was told by Mr.. Helm. who
was at the front in charge of the work in
the late RusSo-Japanese war.
Before large assemblage of boys in the
building for boys Mr. Helm related Sunday
afternoon many incidents of missionary
life. and especially of the boy life In Japan.
The boys department of the Washington
Y. NJ c. A. has been arousing a strong
missionary interest in its membership, slim
Chesley and the missionary committee.
There was considerable interest manifested
in all Mr.. Helm had to say, especially
among the older youths composing the
membership of the knights of Sir Godfrey.
In the evening at Fort Myer. before the
largest meeting of men held this season.
Secretary Helm retold the story of army
army tents and work did for the soldiers.
Cen Komata, late head of the japanese
army. paid high tribute to this work.
Mr., Helm returned to New Haven yester-
.day to resume his studies in comparative
religion. He returns to Japan in February.

WARNING TO BOYS.
Police Will Not Tolerate Disorderly
Conduct Halloween.

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of police,
recalling the damage done by boys on Hal
loween nights years ago, has issued an
order to the police respecting what may be
anticipated tomorrow night 1t is not the
intention of the police official to interfere
with the happiness of children upon the
night usually set aside for merrymaking,
but he does not intend that they shall en-
joy themselves upon the streets in a dis
orderly manner In order to prevent acts
of rowdyism and the possible destruction
of property. the superintendent issued an
order to the captains Of the precincts last
night inStructing them to have their re-
serve forces on duty during the early hours
of the night. The order states that the re-
serve force is to cooperate with the officers
on the street for an hour or two in giving
attention to the boys, especially those of
older years, who may be inclined to play OBJ
Jectionable FRANKS, insult persons or destroy
property.
1t is the intention Of the Superintendent of
police to have bicycle policemen display
activity in the suburbs. Boys who fail to
appreciate the warning given them, says the
order, should be taken to their parents, but
those of older years, and those who are
guilty of fragrant violations of the law, are
to be arrested and sent to the house of de-
tentfon.
THE throwing Of flour and inaicting in
dignities," says Maj. Sylvester, will not be
permitted"
Boys do not give us much trouble Hal
loWeen nights now, said one of the older
members of the police force this morning
but years ago it was almost as much as a
mans life was worth to walk the streets be-
tween shutdown and midnight. Instead of
throwing dead animals and decayed vege-
table matter, as they did years ago, the boys
contented themselves with throwing flour
later. Very few of them make any effort
now to throw flour. being satisfied to in
dulge in innocent indoor games"
The demand for pumpkins for use tomor-
row night was SO great that some of the
dealers were unable to fill all the orders
they mad this morning. Several farmers
brought wagonloads of them to market yes
terday and good prices were obtained for
them today. There was also an increased
demand for apples and chestnuts, the nuts
being used at parties for telling fortunes
