Mummers' Parade in
Quaker City Greatest
Pageant Ever Witnessed
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, Jan. .1.-Philadelphia'
Ancient and Honorable Carnival of
Pompous Majesty and Fun, the parade
of Mummers, or New Years Shoot
ers," was held to-day and 1t surpassed
all previous attempt to entertain the
people on the first day of the New
Year. Ten thousand men in fancy and
grotesque costumes, paraded over the
principal streets while hundreds Of
thousands stood along the curb lines
and applauded their favorites. No
other city in tbe world has anything
like Philadelphia's parade of Num-
mers The New Years day event is as
distinctive of this city as the Mardi
Gras is of New Orleans or the pageants
of continental Europe. In former times
1t was the custom to "shoot out the old
year" hence the title of New Years
Shooters" as applied to the fantastic
paraders.
So keen has been the rivalry between
the various clubs or associations
which participated in the parade that
some of them spent thousands of dol
lars on gorgeous robes and costumes
of satin and brocade. The city offered
prizes aggregating $1,000 to be con-
tested for and associations of business
men in various localities offered addi-
tional prizes and many thousands of
dollars. On a stand erected at City
Hall, were seated the committee who
were to decide which clubs should win
the coveted prizes. All the old favor
ties among the marching clubs were
in line.

vate citizen once more, his term as
Alderman of the Fourth Ward expiring

With the retirement Of Alderman
Windsor Harrisburg will lose magis-
trate who has won a reputation for fair
and square dealing. In the discharge
of his duties, Alderman Windsor has
been frequently commended by the
Court because of his wise judgment in
settling many cases out OF court; not
only saving the county many thousands
of dollars in costs, but also in the col
lection of costs and fees for the county
when cases were settled.
Alderman Windsor began his alder
manic career In June, 1907, having peen EN-
appointed to fill vacancy caused by
the death of the late Alderman Bates.
In the Spring of 1908 Alderman Wind
Sor was elected to serve until May /,
of the present year, but by reason of
the change in the laws his term was
extended until the first Monday, In
January, 1914. While in office Alder
man Windsor has handled 2,771 cases,
including half of the Capitol graft
cases; four murder cases, and number
of important criminal and civil suits.
In the six years and seven months AL
derman Windsor has been in office,
none of the cases he settled in his own
cases returned to the court have been
ignored
