The anti-noise ordinance which
was held up in the city council
nearly a year, has at last come into
force. but it seems to be the gen.
eral opinion of the citizens that it is
not comprehensive enough to do
much good. The ordinance is mere
ly directed against hucksters and
street vendors and prohibits them
from blowing horns, ringing bells,
shouting or making any other noise
to attract the attention of possible
purchasers. 1t is generally regret
ted that the ordinance does not also
prohibit whistling, the banging of
pianos and scratching of fiddles, the
grinding of organs, squeaking of
door hinges and wagon wheels, the
footing and screeching of horns and
sirens on automobiles and other hide
Gus noises.

Tong one of the two most powerful

Intervention by members of the rival
| Tongs. There were forty Or more
courses at the banquet and the
amount of Chinese delicacies con-
sumed by the feasters was perfectly
incredible The police authorities
had taken especial precautions to
prevent trouble, but aside from a
few cases of indigestion nothing
marred the joyful occasion.

their neighborhood. The complaints
demand damages to the amount of
$500 because the aforesaid mixer Of

against her will on several occasions.
She demanded 500 for each one of

evidently thought it best to let the
kisses accumulate so as to make

STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE
OLD NEW YORK

New York. July 24.-After a week
or SO of sensational outdoor cam
paigning the suffragettes subsidized
into less Objectionable methods and
confined themselves during the past
week to indoor meetings. Every
body was invited to attend, but
everybody seemed to be prevented
by previous engagements and, ex-
cepting a bakers dozen of the most
hard-boiled suffragettes and few
impromptu speakers nobody attend
ed those campaign meetings. Some
of these meetings were rather re-
markable for the absurdity of the
proceedings. At one of the gather
ings a beardless youth of about 20,
who made the bold assertion that he
had a right to vote and would get
real cross should anyone attempt
to take his vote away from him. He
| asserted that he had made a thor
ough study of the suffrage problem
and was thoroughly in favor of wo-
mems suffrage. He also declared
himself ready to answer any ques-
tons

who said they would not permit him
to talk upon the subject at home,
but he felt that he had to express
himself to someone, accepted the
challenge of the first speaker and
| began TO ask pertinent questions,
but the other young man, notwith-
| standing his ayowed readiness to
scatter pearls of wisdom from his
unlimited hoard of knowledge, did
not seem to be prepared for immedi-
ate scattering" anG had nothing
to say
That even the most resourceful
woman has her natural limitations
was illustrated in a ludicrous way
the other day, when several en-
| ployes of the Nassau Light and Pow
er company attempted to erect an
! electric light pole in front of a pri-
vate residence in Sea Cliff, L. l. The
owner of the house was not at home
at the time, but his wife was. When
| the men began to dig a hole in
which to plant the pole, she entered
vigorous protest, but the men kept
on digging.
| When the hole was completed, the
woman planted herself in it and de-
| fed the polemen to dislodge her.
The mean creature simply smiled.
| They never attempted to use force
against lady. but began to dig a
new hole, a foot or so from the hole
occupied by the protesting woman.
They thought they had outwittej her
! but soon found they had made a
mistake With admirable resource
| fulness the woman placed one of her
legs in the second hole and again
dared the men to do their worst.
For a moment the wOrkmen were
! puzzled, but then they coolly pro-
ceeded to do their worst Once
more they began to dig a hole, few
feet from the other two and, as il
exhausted her physical limitations
to occupy two holes, the woman was
unable to prevent the men from
planting the Objectionable pole in
| the third, which she could not even
reach by any stretching of her an.
