N. Y, READY FOR 1913
New York, Dec. 31.-New
York is ready for its annual New
Years eve carnival of noise and
near riot. Every table in every
restaurant, large and small, has
been reserved. At some places
nothing but wine will be served.
James Riis, philanthropist and
friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
has beautiful scheme for safe
and sane" celebration, but it is
not expected to meet with much
approval from the crowds on the
streets.
Riis will have four Scotch bag
pipers, kits and all, shrill well
come to the newlyear in Herald
Square. The police sympathize
with the pipers. One police off
cial said every celebrant would be
"piped" without the assistance of
the Scots.
Mob of people will parade from
the Battery to 59th street, throw
ing confetti and creating a din
with cowbells and every known
noise-making device. The police
will not interfere short of muir
der. Over 1000 saloons line the
streets of the usual parade.
When you told me that you
were going to play golf, said
young husband bitterly, 81 had
no idea that you intended to be
absent every evening as well as
every afternoon"
