his pay, and on being re.
to the timekeeper, became
wonderfully wrath, he being too high
toned to take any money except from

the influence Of the ardent at
the time, and became very abusive,
using such profsne and Obscene Ian.
guage that the officers had to arrest
him. On coming into court yester.

and begged to be forgiven, but the
Judge said he was not there as q priest
but o Judge, and on the plea Of guilty

STREET STUMBLING.
Frank Ashton and q mere boz
named j.. M. Doran, who we're arresl
ed for playing the soap box racket.
were brought Into court yesterday, OF.
. charge Of awindling and took /.
change Of venue from Judge Aylen
worth to Justice Abbott, and Their
got Q continuance until this morning.
There were also informations tile,.
against both under city ordinances,
one against Ashton for selling withou
. license, the other against the boy
for vagranoy. 1t Is to be hoped tbs
something can be done to rid the tow /,
OF these kind OF street fellows, who
ply their trade on the corners, ali,
ply on the susoeptibilities Of the u =
sophisticated. This city, howev., :.
licenses Just such fellows, and 1t seem
that so long 81 they pay o f.
dollars into the treasury tn y
can do as they please, but woe u
them II they do not divi e
up with the city. Then they are y,
be prosecuted. The inconsistency
the present policy of the city Is show
clearly In the fact that In this 90.
Ashton Ia, on the one side, charg.
with swindling, and, on the otI
hand, charged with not getting a J.,
cense from the city to conduct a bu,,,
ness which 1t claims ID Q swindlir
business. 1t Is almost useless to hor,
to have the city rid Of soap box racL
cts and other like schemes 90 long
those who pay the city q few dolls
can swindle all they please, and tho,
who do not r prosecuted until tn,
do pay, and then lat alone.
While Ashton and hi, bow comma
Ion are thus being put to the rae
another fellow is by day and by nie
standing on the bank corners, sellis
soap at q fabulous price to men W
expect by . shake Of the dice to "
valuable iewelry. He paid l..
license. Otherwise he would he
been charged with swindlinr, t.,
His business Ii none the better az
noon the worse because he does .
does not pay Q license, but the oft,
officials say by their acts that il ther
ID q license 1t is legitimate, II not, Il
q swind!e. The logical declaration
these acts and this ordinance Is Il.
the city licenses men to swindle.
HUBBUB AT HOME.
Fin Coy was such a wild sort Of
drunk that he got his family frighten,
by his threats and unruly behayi
even going 80 far as to flourish a
