ITS McENRoE, NOT McENRoE.
One Has to Be Up All Night, While
 Other is Home Loving Person.

Fred McEnroe of Union street does not seek to emulate Thomas Edison insofar as but about five hours of sleep. at night are concerned. The Union street man considers at least eight hours essential and does not consider ? a. m. a respectable hour for any water board employe to be gallivanting about the streets. Thus, he desires it to be understood that the Fred McEnroe who recently testified in behalf of Policeman Thomas Tier ney, telling the commissioners that he saw him at ? a. m., and that his con- dition was all right, is not Fred J. McEnroe of Union street, an em- ploye of the board of water commits sioners." His sleep has been inter- rupted much of late, it is said, by curious and kidding friends who in- sist on knowing why he was out at ? a. m.
 The Fred McEnroe who testified for the policeman is a well known local newspaperman, whose business duties demand that he work night and sleep days.

 Damages For Fall.

Just claimed SIP for doctors services and S76 for time lost at the Russell and Erwin factory.

The committee decIed that the petitioner had not proved that the city was lia ble for the dam age and he was given leave to with draw.
 Petitioner Absent.
 The case of Mrs. William A. Allan of West Main street, who tripped over a root of tree near Corbin avenue was postponed until the petitioner will be present before the committee.

FIVE POLICEMEN TO
 TAKE CIVIL SERVICE
Patrolmen to Be Examined for Fitness to Become Sergeant

Five Of the regular patrolmen or the local police force have sienified their intentions of taking the examin- ations for the new position of ser geant which will be named by the police board, it became known today They are Michael Flynn, Patrick O'Mara, Patrick McAvay, Peter Me Evoy and John Stadler. Whether there are any others who will take the civil service tests is not known at the present time
 On Waiting List.
 Three of the regular patrolmen who have been on the waiting list for some time and who have passed the examinations at other times have de- oided that they will not take the com- ing examinations. They are Motor cycle Policemen William Hayes and William Strolls and Patrolman Mich ael Massey. They all passed the tests satisfactorily in the past examinations and have been eligible for some time for promotion.
 Speculation Rife.
 Speculation is rife as to which one of the candidates will be appointed to the new sergeaney. For a time, it was whispered in official circles that Supervisor of Traffic Clarence Lam pher would be the man selected for the day sergeancy. because of his extensive knowledge of the traffic conditions about the city. He, how ever, will not take the examinations for the place. Many are predicting the appointment of Patrick O'Mara to the new position. His work on the vice squad, it is said, has carried much weight with the police commls- sion Others claim that he will not be appointed The police commis- eioners themselves are silent on the matter, saying that they will await the outcome of the examinations be- fore they will make any statements as to who is likely to be appointed.

ADDRESS PARCELS TWICE.
New Scheme to Prevent Unnecessary
 Returns From Abroad.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Hereafter parcel post packages for England and Ireland may carry two addresses. The idea is that in case the postal au- thorities over there cannot find the person to whom the parcel is pri- marily destined, they may deliver it to the alternative addressee The second address is to be carried on a paster. This will obviate returning a lot of parcels sent to people who have moved. It also will take care of nu- merous cases in which the sender makes an error in one address.
 further innovation is that the sender of package may write on a paster, If not delivered, abandon" /"
