WANTS A SANE CHRISTMAS.

Mayor Paff, who has since he has
been executive of the city endeavored
to bring about sane observance OF
Christmas, has directed Chief Goods OF
the police force, to see that the laws OF
the city and state, forbidding the use OF
pistols, guns, toy cannons, dyna-
mite crackers, etc., during tho coming
Christmas holidays, are enforced. The
celebration Of Christmas and Fourth OF

more rational scale, and while some
persons still think the explosion Of gun
powder is a necessary adjunct to these
occasions the practice is growing less
at each recurrence OF these holidays.
