down by the police for the proper cele-

bitt today gave out the following
statement:
1T has been g custom in the past
for the jewellers to make midnight or
New Years Eve terrible by firing shots
from revolvers, guns and other fire
arms. 1t will positively not be allowed
this year. Such a practise is against
the city ordinance relating 10 the use
of firearms, and the police have been
instructed to arrest all offenders. Care
will be taken to see that all rowdy-
ism is suppressed.
MANY people take the opportunity
of such a time for a display of various
kinds of law-defying feats, but.all sucn
culprits will receive the treatment due
them this year. The streets are for
pedestrians and must not be blocked
by unruly crowds. The people of New
ark may be sure hat their rights will
be protected in every way.

despite the advice of her counsel.
When she was taken to the office of
Deputy Assistant District Attorney
John O'Neil, in New York. Mrs. Martin
refused to attach her name to a waiver
of identification, and it required, a half
hour urging by her counsel to get her

reached this city the women went to
a Newark optician and were measured
for glasses, which will be delivered to
them at the jail. Fort and Fine plead
ed with Warden McGuiness to allow
the women to talk to their sister, Miss
Virginia Wardlaw, who has been a
prisoner at the jail since the discovery
of Ocey Snead's body, and finally got
permission for a ten minutes conversae

 Since swallows arc generally on he wing. II l. chiefly by their notes that they can be named.
 The Born Swallow may be identified by peculiar clicking sound at inter- Fais of it4 song. as if the birdi maadi- bies mot hI. teeth were ehatleriug. He sings both On he ~ihg nnd when perehlng one of bls fa4oate places when mol dafting fapidy about in fhe air for insects x the telephone wire, where a fo3 of them may often be seen.

 The Tree swalIo" B babblIng, cheer ful notes are the first Of the Swallows to be heard in the spring. He some times reaches here by March z6th, but k snfe to arrive by the fth of April. Unlike our other Swallows this one nests in hollow trees or ia boxes set up for their ase, where they may return year after year. Unlike the other mem bers ef the family, he often pefehes on trees, and, in fact, seems to use his wings less than any Of the others.
 All Swallows have fondness for the vicinity of water, probably because in- seets are more plentiful there. The Tree swallow, Ill company with the Barn and Bank Swallows, may be seen skim ming along over the pond, darting here and there, and sometimes dipping grace fully in the water as some insects down near the surface k deftly picked up.
