ELECTION BOARD A CITY BODY
Court Of Appeals So Decides In Case
Involving an Appointment.

Albany. N. Y, Nov. 20.-The New
York city board Of elections is a NUM-
cipal body and not a state body, so far
as civil service rules and regulations
are concerned. This Is the effect of a
decision by the court of appeals up
holding the action Of the city civil serv
ice commission in refusing to certify
the salary Of Gustav j.. Werner, who
was appointed with the approval Of the
state civil service commission to the
position Of computer In the Office Of the
city board of elections.
The lower courts sustained Werner's
contention that the New York commits.
sion had no Jurisdiction over his ap-
pointment on the ground that election
boards are state officers. The court OF
appeals reversed this Interpretation.

on rnunds of brown paper scalloped TO
look just like d ginger cookie: the
rounds were pasted on white paper
backgrounds and this rhyme written
beneath 1t:
Come to my party as many as can;
Come for a romp with the Gingerbread
Man.
Gingerbread smiles on his gingerbread
face,
Gingerbread buttons all nearly in
place,
Rais,ns he eyes that are watching for

Gingerbread men, women, children
and animals werc served with cups
and .umblers of milk. Peppermint
candy and nut sandwiches completed
the simple REFRESHMENTS. Each child
had a gingerbread favor to take home,
carefully wrapped in a pretty paper
napkin. To the child who found the
most peanuts. which were hidden over
the lower floor, a copy of the Little

was given. The guests were all a.

JUST A LITTLE roo HAsTY
Mr.. Newiywed Resented What He Con-
sidered Impertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.

They were on their wedding tour.
and imagined that every civilty given
them related to their new condition OF
servitude.
Having stopped at a way station.
the bridegroom was approached by the
station agent, who asked:
Are you going to take the next
~train?"
Its none OF your business" re-
torted the bridegroom, Indignantly, as
he guided the bride up the platform.

natives.
Onward came the train, it's vapor
curling from afar. 1t was the last to
their destination that day-an express.
Nearer and nearer 1t came at full
speed; then in a moment it whizzed
past and was gone.
why in thunder didn't that train
stop!" yelled the bridegroom.

bizness. l has to signal If that trains

PlMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

"My troubles began along In the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form Of small eruptions and
itching and a kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a Of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that I could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
Of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.

for nearly three years and 1 was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed / was

Remedies and inside of two weeks I

kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the R%esolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and / felt like a new

az NINE. MEREi.


This affair certainly was something
entirely new to me ahd think will
be SO to most of the department read
ers. 1t all came about In this way:
There was to be a wedding and the
bride was much entertained. One night
th5-Hen who were to be In the bridal
party said they thought q bridegroom
was q much neglected individual, etc.
The result was his receiving the fol-
lowing invitation, a copy of which was
sen to about 20 of his most intimate
friends:
"A shower will be given at the
home of Mr. j. f. Black in honor of
Mr. G G.. White on Tuesday night.
Please bring an article suitable for
him in the new life he is about to un-
dertake."
The men entered into the spirit of

in the extreme, so those say who were
fortunate to get q detailed descrip-
tion. There was not Il girl In evil

were accompanied with rhymes, which
were read aloud as each parcel was
opened.
The ushers and best MAJ planned
the shower. and 1t is said from hence
forth the pre-nuptial entertainments
will not be confined to the bride, at
least in this town, for everyone de-
clared that the bridegroorns of the flu

brides.

FORTS DRIVE BACK .
ITALIAN FLEET IN
THE DARDANELLES
Turks Report Sinking of
Two Torpedo Boats In
Hail of Fire.

CoNSTANTINOPLE, July 19-Eight
italian torpedo boats tried to run the
Dardanelles early today but were driven
shore forts. 1t is reported that two OF
the boats were sunk.
The Italians surprise attack was at
tempted under cover of darkness about
2 a. m. The torpedo vessels had not
steamed far, however, up the strait
before they were revealed by a search
light directed from one of the forts and
furious cannonade Immediately began.
Murderously raked from both the Eu-
ropean and Asiatic shores, the hotilla
quickly turned tail and fed at full speed
back towards the Aegean Sea.
Two Boats Reported Sunk.
Few details of the engagement are
known but In addition to the report that
two Of the boats were sent to the bot
tom with all on board the other six are
said to have been badly damaged by the
hailstorm of Turkish shells.
The run through the Dardanelles Is
one of about forty miles, between coasts
from one and one-fifth to four miles
apart Had the Italian fiotilla effected
II. II would have had the obsolete Turk
ish warships in the sea of Marmora at
its mercy and a bombardment of Con-
stantinople at the eastern end OF the
Marmora sea would certainly have fol-
lowed.
AS a result OF the attack the Turkish
government notified the powers today
that the Dardanelles have again been
| closed to the shipping of the world.
