GOBLINS RULED IN CITY LAST NIGHT

Hallowe'en Generally Observed But in Accordance To Law. USUAL PRANKS PLAYED. RESIDENTS WERE KEPT .IN CONSTANT FEAR OF HARM TO PROPERTYPOLICE RECEIVE BUT EW COMPLAINTS. The curfew hour was extended .n definitely last evening and the happy youngsters who were celebrating the grand old hallowe'en In a strictly modern way, were not Interferred with by the police so long as the bonds of reason were observed. Nat until 'late In the evening was a single complaint registered with Night Sergeant Winters. The boys and girls were enjoying the occasion to the best of their advantages. Many a man was out bright and early this morning hunting for missing door steps. Garbage cans were carried blocks from home and piled up on vacant lots. The revelers had a hearty good time. Boys will , be boys and so there, were many s stinging faces on .Main and other streets of the city early in the evening. The stings came usually from corn that was thrown at the passersby. The crowd on. Main street was unusually dense. It was Saturday night and a political meeting was In progress besides. This brought out the people and with them came the lads and lasses bent on mischief. Bushels and bushels of com were wasted about the etieet and the street cleaning department will have a busy time. ! In the re'ence portions of the city cabbage heads were thrown and hedge apples were rolled across verandasTto bang Into sitting-room doors with a terrific crash. The old but ever popular stunt of throwing a stone on a veranda and following'the nolae with a smash of window glass to alarm those inside and lead them to believe a window had been broken was pulled off repeatedly. Of course there was any number of tic-tacs and other noise making devises that rattled upon the window panes. Owing to the warning from the superintendent of pQlice..there jwas not as much smearing of soap on the windows as has been the custom for the last few years. The notice of the superintendent was observed generally. The jollifiers took the chief at, hia word and made the, most of their opportunity. 7. ' "" In a tew sections of the city, wagons that had been left on vacant lots will !robably be found missing this mornng. Piles of lumber were overturned vhere the construction of buildings was in progress and a few mortar bins were upset, but this was about .Ihe extent of the more serious damage. I The number of masqueraders upon She streets last night was far in excess yt similar occasions in " previous years. The use of the false face seems to be becoming more popular. Dozens of spooky ghosts walked about arrayed in their spotless white of sheeting and a large number of the skeleton false faces used recently 1 parade by a secret organization were made to do service again. Many of the maskers carried jack-o'-lanterns. SLOW BETTING IN - TUESDATS ELECTION Few Wagers and Only Small Ones in New York. New ' York, Oct 31. In the election bets which have so far been, made in this city odds of four and three to one have been laid on the affair. Although several hundreds of wagers have been made in Wall street and in the Hoffman house, the Waldorf-Astoria and other hotels- where the politicians gather, they have not been for large amounts. The two men in this city who do most of the commission work have not as yet placed higher hets than $5,000. That wager was on the state ticket, and It was one of $5,000 to $4,000 that Chanler would defeat Hughes. The new gambling law has practically put an end to open election betting in this city. There will he no betting ring in the Hoffman house on Monday night of next week. One man, who for many years has earned a large profit as a professional ! stakeholder and as commlsioner for ! the placing of bets, has decided not to Attempt to place any bets in this city .J He has made his headquarters Is eJr-; Bey City and will record the wagers j made through him on that side of the ! Hudson river. Gunnr Patron 8aint. Why was St. Barbara chosen to be the patron saint of all gunners?

Undecided Whether She Will Stay in College or Be Bud in Society. SURE FATHER WILL WIN. SHE SAYS THAT NEARLY EVERYBODY IS GOING TO VOTE FOF PAPAHATES TO MISS ALL THL GAYETY. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 31. Miss Helen Taft, who Is a member of the very new freshmen class at Bryn Mawr College, Is bo certain that her father wfll be elected to the presidency that she has already begun to debate whether she shall remain a student in the quiet little maln-llne college town or blossom forth as a social figure in the gay circles of the capital. To Miss Helen It appears hardly necessary to hold an election, . but, of course, she concedes that it is a good thing to do, so that everything will be constitutional. But so far as the voting is concerned. Miss Taft realiy . thinks It quite a foolish waste of money for newspapers to send wise correspondents out to eee how ' the tlectyon is to result, for, she says, "nearly everybody is going to vote for father." Planning along this positive line, barring Mr. , Bryan out altogether. Miss Helen has already started In to prepare herself for the Inauguration next March. "Oh, yes, I shall attend papa's inauguration; I wouldn't miss it for the world," she says. And then she Intimated that she has aiready begun to think about the period that will come after "papa's inauguration." If Mr. Taft is elected and Helen remains at school his term will le nearly over when she leaves college lor the term is four years at Bryn Mawr. That's what worries her. She would like to stay at school in order to get the education, but it seems extremely cruel to her that she should be forced to give up all the gayety that naturally redounds to the feminine residents of the White House. so sne maae it very piain tnac, m her letters to mamma and papa, she
