We have our opinion of a man
who will 60 to the church for morn
ing services at / o'clock in the after
noon, and finding the door locked
and thinking it was early, set down
on the door step and wait until the
Sunday school Supt. comes around
at 3 O'Clock and kicks him off for a
tramp. That very thing happened
to a regular church goer in Elk Point
last Sunday, and we have been SUBJ
sidized with the promise of two set
cigars to not divulge the name.

CONTROVERSY OVER THE PROCEEDS OF FINES.
It was stated week ago that the Clerk Of the
West Side Police Court had refused to pay into
the City Treasury fines collected on account of
prosecutions by the Humane Society, on the
ground that they werc all under the State law,
etc. Since then there has been considerable
talk on the subject which hos brought about
the following correspondence:
|, CHICAGO, Sept. ), 16s0.-J. S. Grtnneu, City,
Attorncy-DEAM SIR: Ny attention has been
Court to tho fact that the officers Of the Humane
Society arc In the habit Of prosecuting their
cases in our Police Courts under the State law.
In some instances u tine is assessed, and COL
! lected by the Clerk. desire your opinion in
writing us to the disposition Of money received
and collected by him Us such CLERK. and i it
spectfuy, T. Z. GuRSEY, Controller.
Tho answer is as follows:
Z. r.. Gur1,cy, Control1er-DEAn SIR: Tour

The Clerks Of Police Courts are employees OF
the city, responsible to the city tor their acts,
exclusively and entirely under tho control OF
tho city. and subject to tue orders and directions
Of thu Controller.
Sees. IL to ID Inclusive, Chnpt. Is of Revised
Ordinances, pages 5l4 and 575, clearly define the
duties and ontiSntlons Of the Police Court Clerk.
braced is the following: !" Ho shall also pay over
to the City Treasurer all moneys received ind
collected by him Us such Clerk, and shall file his
receipt therefor with the said Controller
1t is not the duty or right OF the Police Court
Clerk to guess nr determine to whom the money
belongs, but TO puy it into the Treasury. and
then, upon the proper application Ut any socie-
ty or institution clhrning the same, 1t can be
dlabul sed as the statute may declare..
The city is the proper custodian of tho money,
and If the law SO declares possibly the trustee
for the same. Respectfully yours,

ion, viii pay over all moneys collected o1 PROF.

Lady SO-and-sO's Novel.
II,Ordon SOciety.1

There are, l am told, some ladies and
gentlemen who, not content with cutting
a figure in fashionable society, aspire to
a literary reputation as well, and to that
end employ some clever hack to vamp
up novel or a book of travels, to which
they append their names as the authors.
II is but seldom that these jackdaws are
stripped of their borrowed peacock's
plumes, and held up in their own poor
draggled feathers to the ridicule which
they deserve. Yet / note that when a
novel or book of travels is announced as
forthcoming from the pen of some con-
siderable parsonage in the beau monde,
there is more general disposition than
ever before to remark, with an air of con-
fdent ill-nature, II wonder who Lady
So-and-so has got to write that new novel
of hersf' or, 81 suppose young Thingum-
bob is doing that new book Of travel for
Mrs. What-d'ye-call-her." The latest
question OF this sort I have heard asked
is, "Who writes the Shah's diaries for
him9"
