NO|SELESS CHRISTMAS
THIS YEAR FOR PARIS
Clothed With Authority to Confis-
cate Certain Fireworks If
Placed On Sale

This is to be a noiseless Christ
mas for Paris this year, accord
ing to the plan of Chief of Police
Lindsey.
The chief has called attention
to the recent State law which

pin wheels. Toy balloons are
under the ban.
Young America may, however,
shoot fre-crackers made of black
powder and not more than two
and half inches long, if the
city ordinance does not prohibit
their explosion.
Chief Lindsey this week re-
ceived a copy of the new warn
ing issued by Chas. W. Schuyler,

er. The chief may confiscate
any fireworks offered for sale in
Paris. Penalty is fine of not
less than $40 nor more than $50.

Second Wrestling
Tournament

After three weeks of crowded
houses in which the smart set and
the fair sex largely predominated,
the success of the Second Interna-
tional Wrestling Tournament at the
Manhattan Opera House has reached
the sensational proportions of a So
ciety fad. While the classic sport
always has enjoyed that status
abroad, it has been sadly neglected
in America until the current year
and no one dreamed that it would
jump into the vogue it now enjoys.
Now that the small fry have been
disposed of through the process of
elimination bouts to finish between

reputation are found on every nights
program. This, of course, increases
interest from purely sporting
standpoint, while the novelty of be-

Jersey City Tailor
Loses Bride In A
Hub Subway Station

Although a great many happily
married people claim that a honey
moon without an adventure is like
meat without salt, Patrick Sullivan,
keeper in the county Jail, who was
married Thanksgiving Eve to Miss
Helen Neary, of Twelfth street, Jer-
sey City, is Of totally different
opinion. Bliss and contentment is
Sullivan's idea of a honeymoon, and
an adventure he had in Boston while
enjoying his honeymoon strengthened
his opinion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan arrived
joyed themselves for two days seeing
the different points of interest. Some
evil genius induced Sullivan to try
the Boston subway, and he and his
bride descended into one of the sta
tons. While waiting for train,
Sullivan decided to buy box of
candy for his wife, and walked over
to the candy stand.
When he returne his wife was gone.
Thinking that she was trying to fool
him, Sullivan sat down and decided
to wait till she appeared. Some time
passed and Sullivan became worried
He questioned the platform guard,
who said he had seen woman an
swering the description board car
and added she seemed to be looking
Tor someone.
Then began wild hunt, covering
every station anlong the line. At
each station Sullivan searched he was
forced to pay an extra fare, but like
most just-married men he didn't mind
the expense. When he reached the
end of the line, without finding his
wife, he became frantic and decided
to go back to where he started and
see if he could find any trace of her.
When he returned to the original
station he found his wife sitting on
bench and his happiness was once
more Observation-Disclosures.
