The Justices Of the Peace all report
business unusually dull. There is less
litigation in their courts than there has
been in years. The Justices lay the
blame to the recent earthquakes. The
class OF people who have chiefly violated
the law have not sufficiently recovered
from the scare they received during the
shakes to return to their evil ways.

A FAMOUS EQUESTRIAN.
A Man Who has Won Fame and
Fortune on Horseback.


Prof James Robinson, who rode in
! Doris circus last night, is probably the
best known equestrian on the globe. he
| has ridden all over this country, and be-
fore kings, emperors and czars in Europe.
In fact he ia a titled parsonage himself,
the rank of Knighthood having been CON
ferred upon him years ago, but wIthal ne
is as modest and retiring as oashlul
school girl.
Sitting on a trunk back in the dressing
room last night be chatted pleasantly of
his life and profession, and the former IS
wrapt up in the latter. One would say
from a casual glance that he Is ON the
sunny side OF forty, possibly five years
under it..
"How long have you been in the busi-
nessY he was asked by NEWS re-
porter.
"Forty-one years." was the answer.
''You do not look more than thirty-ive."
''But am fifty. That young man over
there is my SON."
As he spoke Mr. Robinson pointed
across the tent TO q member Of the COM
pany who was trying to get wrinkle out
of pair OF flesh-colOred tights which en-
cased his limbs. The young mans head
showed a tendency to badness, and OF the
TWO men the father looked the youngest.
ton, and became professional at years
of age under his father, John Robinson,
who was a great hOrseman in mis- time.
At about that age the present champion
equestrian first came through the south.
For number Of seasons he kept coming
back. Everywhere his riding was greeted
with the highest praises for its grace, nov
eltv and boldness. When he got older and
had won a national reputation in mis- ma
tive country he went to England and
afterwards to Germany, Russia and all
the European countries. Later he visited
India and made one trip to Austria
liza. The jewels, badges and
orders conferred upon him are more than
some princes can boast. He sticks to his
profession through fascination which 1t
has for him, although he has fine farm
in California and fortune laid away for
himself, his family and horses in old age,
If ever he gets old. From present appear
aDces, though. he will not retire for many
years yet if he walls for age to snow itself
in his features.
During the chat card was brought to
him from a gentleman who had known
him in Adelaide, Australia. The Profess
cor stepped out of the green room tor
few minutes, welcomed his acquaintance
warmly and returned in an anecdOtai
mood. Every now and then he would ad-
dress some member of the company quiet
ly, giving orders and suggestions, for he
acts as a general manager of the dressing
room. just as he had reached the middle
OF an interesting bit Of Renaissance the
director of the performance stuck his
head in the room and shouted Cali

nearly all in the room. They hurried out,
the band struck up and the performance
began,

The next attraction will be Mir. and
Mrs. George S. knight in over the Gar
den Wall" and soto, the German"
Their engagement will begin tomorrow
night. Mr.. Knight is, without doubt,
the best dialect Dutcnman on the stage,
and Mrs. Knights singing and dancing
have made ner famous. The company
which assists Mr.. and Mrs. Knight IN the
presentation OF this piece OF nonsense is
Endorsed as very capable one. The
music Is good and is well sung, and al
though the comedy is inclined TO be rough
at times, IL in no sense OF the word crosses
the bounds OF strict proprety. Many new
songs have been added TO the company's
repertoire, and a few changes nave been
made in the play itself, by which it has
been benefited greatly.

1.-The Strangers of Paris" Company
played against Doris circus last night,
and drew fine audience. 1t was the
first time that the play has been produced
here, and it was enthusiastically re-
ceived. The subject is rather a forbid
ding one, the chief character in the play
being most repulsiVe creature with but
one admirable quality-paternal alice
tion-but IL afforded Opportuni les for
realistic stage elects and strong situa-
tons, and these were taken fun advantage
OF. "Jaeon," the Stranger, is part
capable OF good deal OF elaboration. 1t
is aroe bristliug with opportunities, and
is most effective picture. Mr.. Frank
A. Tannehill, who essayed the part, was
very effective. AS "Mstailde," "Jagon's''
daughter, Miss Edna Courtney was
repeatedly appauded. Uer acting was
exceedingly clever. the company
throughout is a good one and we'll bal
anced. The scenery used in the play is
elaborate and effective, some of the effects
par icularly the quick change from the
prison ship to the open scene--being very
realistic and startling. The suicide at
the great bridge was another very strong
situation admirably produced.
The performance viii be repeated to-
night, aud the reception that the company
received last night assures a full house.

SIMCHAT TORAH.
The Last OF the Jewish Holidays
What it is.


The last day of the fall Jewish holidays
will be Friday of this week, when the fes-
tlval of the ''RejOicing of the Law" or
Simchat Toran, will be held.
On the eve OF this festival Thursday
nignt) the synagogues are brilliantly
lighted and decorated, and the most
prominent old and young men in the con-
gregation are selected to take the scrolls
Of the law from the sacred ark and.march
in procession with them around the room.
The old parchments on which is written
in Hebrew the Pentateuch are mounted on
poles about two feet long, and are sur
mounted by tinkling Oells OF gold and sill
yer. Around this is cover Of rich bro
cade, edged with gold lace, and the whole
scene is one of brilliance and light that is
particularly attractive to the young
people.
After religious services the scrolls are
returned to the ark, and ON Friday short
services will be read, which include the
history of the giving OF the claw" to
Moses.
