glimpse of the ring, it is possible that no one
would have objected, but as it was, people
did object and the usher was appealedto, and
the performance went on as if nothing had
happened.
The gentleman seemed to feel aggrieved for
q time, because he had been disturbed and
forced to assume less comfortable position,
but it was explained to him that it was Gus
tomary, in the city, for man to go home to
ease himself of the agonies inflicted by tight
boots, and that it was not considered etiquette
for man to display his feet, although his
socks were clean, on the railing that sur
rounds the orchestra in the parquette Of the
Academy. He explained that he had just ar
rived, and apologized.
The new Chief of Police desires his name
to be left (a) Loan by punsters.

Citizen.
We learn that Mr.. Scholtz, of the Auditors
Office, has been made citizen by the United
States Court, and our informant was in error
regarding the fact that he is an alien. He
came to this city with the Federal army, mar
ried in one of our oldest families, and has all
his interests here.
Under the GasIight.
The Governor and Boss Packard were out
late Wednesday night, evidently on the lookout
for something stirring. They turned up at
the Central Station about midnight, in search
of Superintendent Loan, but failing to find
him they "went out in the streets " and van
ished in the darkness.
1t is reported that Louis Kenner, of Re-
turning Board fame, is to be the private sec
rotary of Chief Loan. The laborer is worthy
of his hire.
At the City Hall.
The City Council went in Committee of the
Whole yesterday. Among the subjects unde,
discussion was the resolution offered at the
meeting on Tuesday by the Administrator OF
Finance, providing for an assessment of SO
per cent on the interest due within SIX
months on city bonds.
Themeeting was held with closed doors aud
the nature of the debate is unknown. The
Council, however, meet to-day to pass upon
the matter.
The following bids for building McDonogh
Schoolhouse No. S were received and opened

900; D. J. WATSON, s11,73e SO: VIM. Arms,
$11 800; Louis Schormann, S13, 700.
No action was taken on the bids, and it is
probable no action will be taken until the
meeting on Tuesday next.
The Supplemental Funding Bill.
The Supplemental Funding Bill. the one
the Governor was SO very anxious to have
passed, and which to quiet his anxieties was
passed, has not yet been signed.
There will be two or three more meetings
of the Funding Board before it is officially
promulgated.
The CarrOlltOn Police Court.
There is a chance for reform in that Police
Court Of Carrollten, and if possible it would
be good idea for the city to suspend the
Judge and clerks, and thus virtually abolish
the court
This court costs the city annually between
ten and twelve thousand dollars, and the
revenue derived from it averages SO month
or the immense sum of S120 year.
There is judge, very learned man. His
seat is by no means easy, and he fills it every
day. It is only on occasions-twice weel
probably-that there is any necessity for him
to occupy it, and that makes it come hard
There is a crier, very melancholy man,
whose duty it is to announce that the court
is in session and that the court has adjourned,
and to assist the Judge to descend from his
uneasy seat.
There are four clerks, jovial fellows all Of
them, collectively and individually. They
take turn about in recording in gerry big
book that the court met and the court ad.
journed. Hard work for the hot weather, but
they get paid for it.
It is model court; but twelve thousand
dollars, less one hundred and twenty, is en-
tirely too much to pay for it.
The few arrests made in Carrollton could
be disposed of just as we'll by some of the
courts Costing just as much) lower down
town. Escorting the prisoners would prob
ably give the police some little trouble and
the downtown judge extra work but it
would save the city twelve thousand dollars a
year.
