Michael Kraus, OF No. 1856 Linn street,
middle-aged German, was bound over
to the Common Pleas Court by Judge
Lindemann this IN ,rning on the charge
Of malicious destruction of Il $50 suit of
clothes belonging to Dave onelbaker,
Ex-Lieutenant OF Police.
1t appears that Kraus' wife had sent a
note TO Dave, in reference to some cOun-
terfeit money which had been passed
upon her, but the note was Intended for
Dawes brother Tom, whom the woman
thought was still Chief OF Police. The
other evening Dave called at the house
ior an explanation Of the contents OF
the missive, and took seat beside Mrs.
Kraus at the supper-table.
Presently Michael came in, and thinK'
ing that Dave and his frau were sitting Z
rather closely together, his jealous fears
we're excited to the highest pitch. A
brief squabble ensued between the men,
and then Michael reached for a big pot
OF soup which was sitting on the stove,
and let the supposed destroyer OF his
domestic peace have the contents square
OH the head, from whence it trickled
gaily down the $50 suit. This ended the
Lableau, and Dave being well creased
quickly slid out for a "peeler."

We are hardly OF the opinioM at
amateurs should essay Shakespeare, If
they desire to interest their auditors.
AT the best their success will only be
measurable. Under this reservation the
performance was fairly successful.
In some of the scenes Mr.. Sherwood's
"Shylock" was excellent. In the
"rrial Scene" he was too quiet, seemin {
to be somewhat exhausted by his pre-
vious efforts. The "Bassanio" of Mr.
Blinn, and "Jessica" of Mrs. Sherwood,
were Oil the whole the most satislac
tory renditions OF the evening, the gem
tit MANS reading being very smooth and
correct, and the lady looking the char
acter charmingly. The two comic char
acters afforded considerable amuse-
ment.
The other roles merit no particular
mention, with the exception perhaps o.
one of the minor ones, which was sc
oVerdone, both in speech and action, a.
to I've ridiculous. Hamlets advice to thu
players should be studied and digestet
