The select social at the residence Of Mr..
Henry james, for the benefit of the Ladies'
Aid Society OF the church of the Good
Shepherd (Episcopal), was quite pleasant
affair. The young and old all enjoyed them
selves in quite social manner, and long for
another one. Dancing was kept up till the
wee small hours. The ladies in charge
did not forget the good supper, which all
partoek of heartily. Mr.. and Mrs. James
| enjoy Themselves. Their three large psrlors
| were thrown open to the dancers, and god
| band of music was in attendance. 1t was
| grand success, socially and financially.
The police sergeants and captains are
about to petition the Commissioners TO allow
them TO feed their horses at the city stables,
where, with the other city stock, the cost
| would ee trifing, while with them it is quite
an item. They are obliged to keep horses of
| their own and maintain them as best they
can. This costa at livery stable, where
| they must be kept to be always at hand,
| sbsut SIG per month. Their animals are,
besides, liable 10 disease, accident and death,
| asd this loss would be entirely too much Tor
them to stand with their small salaries.
Common sense suggests that the city should
| own and feed all the stock required tor the
city's use, whether BY police or other depart
ments.
Marx Brutus Caesar Anthony has at last
| tried his wings in the coekloft of the court
house. He is Chaucery lawyer, and MS
| first care WAS one in which pot-colored
female prayed q divorce from her lord on the
ground of cruel treatment and abandonment
| By his own witnesses he proved his client
was guilty OF bigamy, but produced ne wit
nessss to eubstantiate his allegations OF aban-
| donment and cruel treatment. His argu-
ment was an equally brilliant exploit 1t
was in fall: "n your honor plessss, this here
| is my case" But it was not the case of Marx
Brutus Ces,r Anthony. He has lost pres
| tige since he wts obliged to give up suit Of
| black cloth, taken from the thief who stole
| it as his fee for defending him.
Wilson's bad boy was the subject of con.
| siderable conversation in stationhouse circles
yesterday. The boy hss proven himself such
= terror at home that his father resolved to
| send him away TO some reformation school,
| but net being quite ready to do 90 as yet,
was given permission to have him kept at
| the stationhouse few days, the father pay
| ing all expenses. The sharp-witted boy took
| the occasion Of court hours yesterday morn
| ing TO send up q series OF howls as if UNDER
| going death by the slowest manner of tor
i lure, which went like a shot 10 the inner
| most recesses of the heart of a lawyer, awak-
ening fountains of sympathy which had lain
| dormant for centuries past. This lawyer
| publicly declared that he would bring the
case before the Probate judge, who is ez.
| oficis guardian Of orphan children Of the
| county, claiming that he was the only officer
legally authorized to take charge Of Wilson's
bad boy.
| "A curious mistake was made by Ser
gesnt Kunholtz, OF the police force, at yes
| terdsy mornings session of that Court. Pat
/ Walsh h ad been up aud received his % cen
tence for plain drunk. The next case
called was a party charged with vagr ancy
but the officer making the arrest was not
present to identify his prisoner and make the
charge. Sergeant Kunholtz announced that
he knew the particulars, and the man was
called out. Some OF the prisoners told Pat
he was wanted again, and he promptly pre-
scented himself at the bar, when the judge
tremendously remarked, Il fine you 50 for
vagrancy." Pat flew all to pieces, declaring
himself go vsgrapt but hsrd-workiDg msn,
producing pair of as horny hands "a ever
| lsborer boased as evidence Of his industry.
He literally took possession of the court
! room for a moment or two, and NJ AIDE so much
| noise as 10 drown out sill efforts made by the
] sergeant to correct his mistake. The Court
: withdrew the S. sentence against Pat, who
had by the incident established his character
, az HARD laborer 10 the extent that two gen.
tleuen present volunteered 10 pay his fac OF
81 for the plain drunk. Pat was as happy
as lord as he strobe through the court
room from the prison pen, where he had just
been shu. in with an eight days sentence on
his head
