But the carnival of crime which has made this summer memorable, the| ‘Hong list of burglaries, street assaults, hold-nps, mur- , “ders, not including the localized Black Hand depreda- ‘tions and staple misdemeanors, has been such as the community has not witnessed in years, and which it hopes never to be called on to endure again. The conditions are too serious to be dismissed Nightly. It is time to “swat the ball” now.

For this full evening “Greas is prescribed, and it 1s expressly indicated that by feason of the early closing hour “no officer will have @n excuse for not discarding field uniform.” It ts pre- “pumed that the personal baggage of every officer will be well supplied with clear linen and pajames, and that he will begin the day's martial exércises with a @old tub. In pleturesque and spectacular features the battle should not fail to make an impressive showing of the Glitter and glamour of warfare.

According to the general passenger agent of the Pennsyivania the railroads east of the Mississippt ported more than 1,000,000 excuraiop passengers “during the six weeks ending Sept. 1. Only a part of othia was World's Fair travel, The volume of seashore nd outing trafic has broken records, »» The summer excursion passenger has become one of the most important factors in railway earnings.
