Many jolly games were enjoy
ed after which the children were
invited into the dining room.

Halloween Parties

The ''spooks" on North Church
street assembled at the home of
little Misses Bess and Jane
Stuart Kincannon on Hollowe'en
night.
Just a crowd of neighborhood
children gathered here, but they
scarcely recognized their play
mates in flowing white robes and
chalky faces, so ghostly were
they. All quietly slipped up
to the. attic where the shad
ows were. thick. Tiny rays Of
light CLEANED through pumpkin
faces, black cats, owls, bats and
witches lined sthe walls and the
fortune-telling witch was present
also.
After diving for apples and
other Hollo we'en amusements
were enjoyed and refreshments
had been served the ''spooks"
grew tired of their masks and
white robes and discarded them.
They left the darkness for other
spirits that might chance to be
providing about. and assembled
under the glare of electric lights
where games were enjoyed until
mothers began to remind the lit
tie school girls that they must
say good night in order not to be
too tired for school the next
morning.

RUSE OF A BAD MAN.
Trick by Which He Turned the Tables
on Sheriff Bill Nye.

on Sheriff Bill Nye.
To nearly every n the name of Bill
Nye brings the picture of a genial. fun
loving man whose jokes were once ia
nous all over the country. but to those
who lived in Wyoming some thirty
years ago Sheriff Bill Nye of Laramie
county means something else too.
Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless.
He was resolute, decisive. quick to act
and tireless in pursuing offenders. He
failed to get his man on only one occa-
sion. and that failure was due to the
tenderness of heart that was always 4
part Of his character.
Nye started u once after a typical
bad man who had shot or stabbed
some one and quickly learned that ne
had fled to the mountains. Summon
ing a deputy, the sheriff sprang on his
horse. and the two started off. After
riding nearly 200 miles into the wilder
ness they learned that their man was
hiding in an abandoned miners cabin.
whittier he had brought his young wife.
Soon after darkness fell Nye quietly
rode up to the cabin and diSmounted
before the door. He sent his deputy
round to guard the rear Of the little
shack. Then Nye threw open the door
and dashed inside, with his revolver
cooked and ready for instant action.
The criminal was asleep on the bed.
and his wife. who sat close by, was
stroking his forehead. Nye covered
them both with his gun and told them
to throw up their hands.
i've got you" he said grimly. Now
you get up quietly and come along.
The lady can stay here if she chooses"
The bad man admitted that the game
vas up and began to roll his blanket
into a bundle. Never mind that"
said Nye. We've got plenty of blan-
kets in the place you're going to-" The
desperate then asked if he couldn't
say goodby to his wife.
II reckon it's the last time I'll ever
see her." he continued. you've got
the goods on me this time. sheriff. and
l reckon I'll swing for it"
He appeared so cast down that Nye's
warm heart prompted him to grant the
request "All right" he said. TN
give you two minutes"
The criminal rose from the bed. The
next instant those tightly rolled blan-
kets came whirling through the air and
struck Nye in the face S % heavily that
he reeled back against the wall. Be-
fore he could recover his balance and
throw off the blankets the criminal
had dashed out of the cabin. leaped on
Nye's pony and was galloping down a
mountain trail in the darkness.
OF course Nye's deputy came rushing
round from the rear of the cabin and
started in pursuit. but the bad man
was eve heard from afterward.-

Little Miss Sarah Hamilton en-
tertained a number of her
with a Halloween party on Tues
day afternoon.
The house was darkened and
"spooks" were peepine from the
darkest corners. A weird glow
came from pumpkin faces. light
ed with candles. Black cats,
witches and all kinds of Hal
lowe'en emblems were used as
decoration.
All kinds of games suitable for
the day were enjoyed. An old
witch told the fortunes.
In the dining room, the table was
decorated with pumpkins and
most delicious refreshments serv.
ed, consisting of pumpkin pie,
sherbet, cake and candy.
A jolly afternoon was spent in
spite of the ''spooks''; and little
Sarah was a most gracious hos

The First Cradle.

The earliest mention in literature of
cradles is in the Biblical account of
Moses little ark of bulrushes. But
there are in the British museum some
clay tablets found some years ago on
the site of ancient Nineveh which. ac-
cOrding to archaeologists. make 1t
quite clear that somewhere about
1000 years before the Christian era
there was another infant hero exposed
in a little ark of bulrushes. Thus the
cradle that vas found by Pharaoh's
daughter 400 B. c. was comparatively
modern.
1t is certain that cradles we're first
used as a means of protecting babies
from the attacks of wild animals by
suspending them from the boughs of
trees.-LondOn Globe.

ALDERMEN TO FIX
UTY'S DISTRICTS
New Reapportionme Law
Calls for Their Action
This Month.
LRr Telerrann 70 Tie Trihune :

Albany, May Under the reappor-
tlonment law enacted this year the
Board of Aldermen in New York City
must meet on May % to establish the
sixty-two Assembly districts allowed
the five counties within the city boun-
daries. This duty devolves on tho
boards of supervisors in upstate coun-
ties, except where a county is entitled
IN only one member of Assembly.
There are $50 Assembly districts in all
The boundary lines of the fifty Senate
districts are fixed by the new law.
Because Of numerous requests for in
formation, Attorney General Egburt f..
Woodbury. issued tonight a statement
explaining the constitutional and statu-
tory rules governing the division OF the
counties. Not taking into considera-
tion aliens. the districts within the
county must be as nearly equal in num-
Der of inhabitants as possible. and each
district must be wholly within one of
the new districts.
where county contains more than
one Senate district" says the Attorney
General, "the same number of Assem-
bly, districts must be put in each Ser
ate district, unless the Assembly dis
tricts cannot be evenly divided. In the
latter case it is permissible to put one
more Assembly district in the Senate
district having the largest number of
Inhabitants.
THE constitution also REQUIRES that
no town and no block in city shall
be divided in the formation of an As
tembly district. nor shall such a dis
trict contain a greater excess in popu-
lation over an adjoining district than
the population Of a town or block in
such adjoining district. The require
ment is that towns or blocks which
from their location may be included in
either of two districts shall be so
placed as to make those districts most
nearly equal in the number of in
habitants.
After the work is completed a GER
tifcate describing the new district
must be made out and signed by at
least a majority of each board of super
visors or the Board of Aldermen in
New York City. While these boards
have reasonable discretion in laying out
the Assembly districts, their action is
subject 10 review by the Supreme
Court"

Kelly. has not been informed of the
accident by her son-in-law. Al Davis.
Mrs. Davis has not fully recovered

the roadway from her horse early yes

Mrs. Kelly said last night she had
repeatedly tried TO learn whether her
daughter had asked for her, but to no
avail. 81 have no way of telling" she
said. what is going on down there. OF
course. the doctors have reported to
me after my calling them on the
telephone many times, and have prom

sudden turn for the worse, but that is
not enough 20 allay the feelings of a
mother whose child lies suffering from

sibility Of her going to-day.
Drs. Malcome. Lanehart and Lam
bert examined Mrs. Davis's injury yes

operation was not necessary. The
three doctors will call again to-day

ONLY PHYSICALLY
FIT NEED APPLY
Standards Formulated for
All Competitive Jobs
in City's Employ.

The main feature Of the annual re-
port of the Civil Service Commission.
submitted to Mayor Mitchell yesterday.
is the complete formulation OF proper
physical standards for all competitive
positions in the city's service. The re-
port states this has been done for the
first time in the history OF any civil
service commission in this corptry.
The report is signed by Henry Moskc>
WITT, president Of the board, and Com :,
missioners Darwin r. James, jr., and
Alexander Keogh.
Besides the adoption of the physical
standards, the commission reports as
its principal achievements OF the year
just ended: Improvements of the eff
fciency record system; the devising of
improved examination methods for high
administrative positions and practical
tests, and the publication of a manual
of information.
Under the Few physical standards
1883 candidates out of 22,524 examined
during the last year were rejected.
There can be no doubt but that the
elimination of the physically unfit from
tAANAohN INV Nilt Wy otANANtt ZIG re-
port says, will result in increased ef-
ticiency. There is no more reason for
the city service 10 accept those who are
so physically handicapped that they
cannot render the best service than for
a railroad to accept an engineer whose
defective eyesight would render him a
menace 10 life and property"
Efficiency records have been worked
out for the $4,000 competitive employees
in the city service, which cover such
factors as attendance and punctuality
of employees, and the quantity Of work
performed.
The report calls attention 10 i'm
provements in the records of members
of the uniformed force in the Police
and Fire Departments. Following con-
ferences with the heads of these de-
rartments, the rules governing awards
were amended TO the end that credit
might be given in promotion examins-
lions for conscientious and effective
work while on duty irrespective Of per-
sonal risk.
The cost of advertising civil service
examinations has been reduced from
an average, per examination, Of $409.7s
in 1913. to 5000 in 1915. Other econo-
mics are pointed out in the report.

Senate would concur in the House bill
this week there would he no difficulty
about the election in June. while the
delay incident 10 n conference and sub
sequent action by both houses wcaid
create difficult situation.
The fact that the bill as il stands
does not provide exactly the kind of
legislative machinery for the Philip
pines which the War Department or the
Congressional leaders think most de
sirable is one of the odd results Of
cowardicc on the liquor question by
members Of Congress.
The bolt against the Philippines bill
in the House was levcled simply at
the idea of scuttle, not at the legisla
tive changes proposed, which had been
carefully worked out. The logical
method would have been to strike out
the Clarke amendment and write in
the Jones preamble. But the rest of
the Senate bill, which was killed in
the House, contained a prohibition
clause. House opponents of prohibi-
ton were determined TO Kill this, but
they realized that n straight vote to
strike il out would be lost because
great many members were afraid TO
vote against prohibition, though they
would so q long way TO avoid voting
for IT, Therefore the whole bill was
stricken out and the old Jones bill sub
stituted 70 get rid of the prohibition
clause without directly voting on IT.
Retention of the prohibition clause,
friends of the bill realized, would have
resulted in defeat of the whole meas

GLYNN FOR TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN AT ST. LOUIS
Wilson Anxious to Placate New
York Organization.

Washington, May e. Democratic
leaders here have tentatively agreed on
Ex-Governor Martin H. Glynn Of New
York for temporary chairman of the
St. Louis convention. Speaker Champ
Clark is said TO be the most likely
choice for permanent chairman.
The choice of Glynn was determined,
it is understood, by several factors. In
the first place. the President is now
desperately anxious to placate the New
York organization, OF which Governor
Glynn is a loyal and important mem
Der. The President is also anxious to
do something TO give prestige to the
possible Democratic state candidates in
New York this fall. as the necessity Of
his winning New York's forty-five cleo
toral votes if he is TO enjoy four more
years in the White House is keenly re-
allied. 1t is thought here now that
Governor Glynn is the most likely SEN
atorial candidate in New York.
According to Democratic leaders Gov
ernor Glynn made an excellent impress
sion on the President with his speech
at the New York State Democratic Con-
vention, in which he made reply TO
the speech of ex-senator Root.
