say that such organizations exist in many
other cities, especially in tho West, and
that there is abundant reason for such an
organization In this city. The association
will endeavor to maintain high standard
of character, and will cxpel any member
guilty of disgraceful conduct.
The fact that man belongs to the associ-
alton will be in itself recommendation OF
his ability and good character. 1t is OK
pCcted that the public will receive benefit
from the intercourse Of these compounders
of beverages, who will discuss together the
best method Of mixing drinks and compare

THE LEoLEss SOLDIER,
Who Creates Periodical Rows in the
Police Court.

Charles Clark, tho old soldier with no
legs, who refuses to cut of his supply Of
whisky to correspond with his reduced
anatomy, is always in trouble and in tho
Police Court as a natural consequence. He
was up yesterday for being drunk and dis
orderly on tho street, and his condition so
touched the heart Of Judge Mills that he
was released on his personal bonds.
He celebrated his release with another
full dose of whisky for whole man and
was before the court again this morning for
being drunk on the street.
He delayed the proceedings several min
utes while he climbed the stone stops from
the cell to the courtroom singing national
air. lie always comes up smiling and goes
down swearing. After making tho clerk
read the information three times, and then
putting in plea of guilty" he made a
long'harangue to the Court for his liberty,
promising to como in and pay tho fine next
pension day, but was promptly informed by
Judge Mills that he was doing o strictly
cash business. IIe became abusive to old
BailiT Barton, who ordered him to his cell,
aud went into the dock bcaping curses on
tho gray head of tho bailif to go to the
woikhouse, where he has gone SO many
times before, to wait for pension day.

DISHONEST WAsHERWoMAN
Fined Ten Dollars for Larceny from
Her EmplOYer.

Serena Baltimore, colored washer
women, was in the tolls at Judge Mills
Court this morning, charged with purloin-
ing soap and clothing from Mrs. George G.
Chapman, of 1902 X street, by whom she
was employed.
The complainant testified to losing her
sheets, napkins, soap, and other articles,
which were found on the premises of the
defendant.
The prisoner made remarkable state
ment as to the manner in which she came
in possession of the property.
MY mother died on that sheet" said
the defendant, looking at q sheet that was
found ON her bed aud which Mrs. Chapman
recognized by her sewing. THAT PIN
cushion and tho towel with her name on it
came in the washing and ! put it in my
trunk for safe keeping" continued the de-
PENDANT "Those other towels that have no
name on them are NINE"
",rhe soap about ten bars?
II kept because 1t was not fit to use, and
i used my own soap"
Judge Mills said this Is sad case in
which the entire community is concerned,
because everybody is compelled to employ
washerwomen and it Is important that they
should be honest. He would not send her
to Jail hecause she had boy at school and
he would only fine her $40.
