ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A CALF.
Two Families Where the Golden Rule
Didn't Prevail.

Two Families Where the Golden Rule
Didn't Prevail.
Quite a crowd was present when the
City Court opened yesterday morning.
The longest case heard was that OF
Matilda Houston, colored, charged with
a breach of the peace. She and the Mack
family are neighbors on the Louisville
road. The do unto others as ye would
have them do unto you" rule is not
practiced much between the members of
the two households Matilda declared
that she was a ''pOOr lone widow, with
only four small children and a calf for
support" Isabella Mack, the prosecu-
triX, told long rigamarole story that did
not bring out any evidence, and the court
suspected that the warrant had been
issued upon insufficient grounds.
'Why did you have the warrant Is
suedY Judge Harden at length asked.
The witness started to 90 over the story
again, but was interrupted by Acting
Solicitor General G. W. Owens, ESQ. The
court and the attorney tried repeatedly to
get lucid statement from the witness,
but failed.
1t transpired that the whole trouble
arose over the invasion OF the Mack
family's truck patch by the calf, and this
point in the evidence gave the defendant
an opportunity to interject in her testi-
mony a list OF philosophy on calf nature.
The Judge finally concluded that the case
had been instituted as a means of retalia-
tion, and ordered its dismissal.

Fred. Bush, Passenger Agent of the

story OF how young pigtailed Celestial

''Jlm Miller, who everybody in Calves

DRUGGISTS MISTAKES.

About Them.

What an Experienced PhArmaoist Says
About Them.
~ don't see how frst-class druggist
could have made such a terrible mistake"
said well known pharmacist last night,
speaking of the Hoboken tragedy.
"Amende must be third or fourth rate
man in the profession, or crazy. notice
he took an antidote, too, after swallowing
the poison. l guess he was not anxious
for triple funeral over his mistake"
"Why not use a square, or, better still,
q three-cOTnered bottle exclusively for
poison ?" asked the reporter.
"Fhere is no necessity for it. If man
ls competent and attends TO what he is
doing In filling a prescription he will
make no such mistake as that which
caused the death of Gretchen and Ella
Holtz."
"Amende says that his attention was
engaged by two or three men who we're
talking TO him while he was preparing
the powder" interrupted the News man.
"He bad no business to be talking" said
the druggist. "When / 60 behind that
desk and open that cabinet, where the
poisOns are kept, you can talk all you
wish, but / will not answer"
The gentleman opened two small doors
q
a small round one and poured out a few
grains of the drug in the palm of his hand.
Then taking a tin box from a shelf he
poured small lump Of white powder.
Both drugs looked exactly alike.
This is morphine and that is qUinine,"
said the pharmacist, pointing first at the
drug that came out OF the hottie. "Poj-
sons are always kept in small bottles, and
generally separate from other drugs.
There is no difference In the shape of the
BOTTLES in any drug store. Amende was
probably absent minded If not cranky,
and such men are liable to make mistakes
If they are allowed TO handle drugs
Frhe doctors are the ones who make
the mistakes" added the druggist, wink
ing at lis assistant and both chucIled
over the recollection Of a prescription in
which r physician had written tea
spoonful Of morphine every two hours in
stead OF an altogether different and much
less powerful drug.
"rhe druggist is check on the
physician, aud the latter can
not make n mistake If the prescrip-
ton goes TO an intelligent pharmacist.
We put up 1890 prescriptions monthly
and by thinking OF what we are doing
have never made a mistake"

Victim'a Pocket.
About $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a negro named Thomas Dyer, who works
on turpentime farm near station 3}a on
the Central railroad, was ncoosted near
the corner of Jefferson and ST. Julian
streets by another negro named Wallace
Robinson, who represented that be was
a Deputy Sheriff sent to arrest Dyer, who,
as he represented, was wanted at the
Jail on a warrant held by Sheriff Roman.
Dyer said that ho was not aware that
he had committed any crime, but that he
would 20 with Robinson to the jail, where
he was confident 1t would be ascertatned
that he was not the man wanted. Robin
son soon after left Dyer, saying that he
would keep his eye on him and would
oYertAke him walking along. Robinson
failed 10 return or to assume the custody
Of Dyer. The latter was somewhat as
tonished, and began solilOquizinR at the
vigilance of an officer who permitted him
TO roam about the city at will while under
arrest.
His astonshment was increased when
he discovered that the sO-called Deputy
Sheriff had picked his pocket OF $23 and
check for Sl5. The victim applied al
Magistrate Thomas j. SheftalPs office,
and learned there was no officer by the
name of Robinson In the county.
A warrant was at once issued for the
arrest Of Robinson, charging him with
larceny from the person. Constable Geo.
Jones, following the description given by
Dyer, found the thief last night, about 3
O'Clock, on Farm, near Pine street, and
committed him to jail.
