An Ordinance to
Control Hacknen
WILL SHORTLY BE IN
TRoDUcED.

If an ordinance now in preparation
is finally introduced and passed by
city council it will be violation of
the laws of the city for hackman to
receive an order over the telephone
or otherwise and then not fill it.
Here OF late there has been con-
siderable protest against tho unrelia-
bility Of Brunswick hackmen. Two or
three people have reported that they
had engaged hackmen to call for them
in time to catch an early morning
train, that they had agreed to do so
and then failed, and, as result the
train was missed.
So much complaint has been heard
along this line that it has been de-
c.ded to prepare and have passed an
ordinance which will make it viola
tion for any hackman or automobile
chauffeur to receive an order, agree
TO fill it and then fail to do so. Under
the terms of the ordinance If any per.
son is convicted OF this charge he can
be fined or his license can be revoked.
1t seems that this is the only way to
remedy the trouble.

In the next case, the groom was ar
rested half an hour after the cere-
mony for neglecting to pay his board
b!ll, and upon investigation it develop
ed that he had had previous expert
ence in the role of groom, and that
his wife was living and still married
to him, whereupOn he was held on the
charge OF bigamy. He is now in the
county Jail awaiting trial.
In the third, and most recent case,
the charge against the groom was as
sault and battery. On the night of
the wedding this young benedict
trimmed q Brunswickian to the
Qu ems taste. Such complete and
artistic trimming was it that the
"trimmee' deemed it necessary to en-
list the services of the entire Bruins
wick police force to execute the war
rant taken out at his instance. This
case has not yet come to trial.
Whether these occurrences are
merely a series of unfortunate incl
cents or whether there is some deep,
dark and mysterious spell cast over
the ordinary by some anti-Cupid witch
has not yet been determined.

the Establishment of Civil Govern
ment, Devotin9 Himself to Military
Campaigns Toward Mexico City.

Juarez, Mexico, Dec 4.-While loot
ing by isolated bands or coniscation
Of property by the Mexican rebels may
continue, the days of fighting in north
ern Mexico are numbered so far as
the rebellion Is concerned, according
10 expressions made by rebel leaders
;oday. Gen. Villas assertion that
there was not much more to fight for
IN the north because of the bankrupt
condition of the federal army which
caused it to evacuate so important a
city as Chihuahua has spread among
The federals.
What most Immediately concerns
The so-called constitutlonalist party
now is the elaboration OF its civil gov
ernment. This embrac more sys-
tematized customs to be enforced
along the border. The rebels hold all
the important border towns except
Neuvo Laredo and Piedras Negras, op-
posite Eagle Pass.
There remains also to be put in
force uniform currency system for
now rebel and federal currency are in
conflict, one kind being acceptable in
one place and another kind in another.
Rebel postage stamps already are in
use. Many governors and state off,
Gals are to be selected.
The settlement of the civil question
is one reason why Villa has asked
Gen. Carranza to meet him at Chihua-
hua. Sylvestera Terrazas, a newspa-
per editor in Chihuahua, who is not re-
lated to the wealthy Terrezas family,
has been selected for governor of the
state. Villa expects to leave to Car
rama the task of establishing civil gov
eminent, devoting himself to the mil
itary campaign southwark toward

Needles and pins,
When a man marries
His trouble begins
Old Song.

Although Ordinary Dart disclaims
all responsibility for the fact, this
seems to have been literally true in
the case of the last several marriages
i'll which he has figured In each case
the groom has been arrested prompt
ly on his wedding day, and placed
in Jail.
The ordinary feels sure that it is
no fault of his, and having searched
his office for possible hidden "coniure''
bags and other black magic which
might have been responsible, has
come to the conclusion that it was in
each case the fault of the respective
groom
In the case of the first groom who
was thus unfortunate, the charge was
that of kidnapping his wife, and was
made before the father of the young
lady knew that the ceremony had al
ready been performed This charge
