BEFORE HIS HONOR
4 Scene In Police Court Yesterday Morn
inc

4 Scene In Police Court Yesterday Morn
Ing.
Sometimes the scene enacted in the
Police Court are rather funny, and deserve
to be embalmed in print. An instance Oc-
Cured yesterday morning. After several
cases had been disposed Of the name OF
Christopher Kline was announced as being
next on the programme, and Christopher
promptly wended his way to the seat of
Justice. His countenance wore III unset
tied look and his general appearance indi-
Gated that he had not retired with the
chickens the night before. As he braced
himself against the desk His Honor in
formed him that he had been guilty of
abusive language and d~iSOrderly conduct,
and asked him what he had to say for HIM
self. Christopher was evidently suspriSed
that such a suspicion could rest upon him,
and after o moments thought he spread
himself out in an able and eloquent address
presenting his side of the case in n very
fair and impartial manner. lie informed
the court that he did't consider his OttenSe
an act of disOrder but rather 4 case OF
drunkenness and to encourage this belief
he held himselfup as a terrible example
who had an irresistible laundering after
obeiOyful, n soft place in the brain for
it." he said, which compelled him to get
full at every touch of prosperity. Then
lie citing his thoughts wander back to the
dim past he reminded the Judge that in the
sunny days of childhood they had wan
dered off to school together and that since
that time J. C.. Keine had enriched the
city treasury by more than $1,000 worth
of fines. After this he referred
more particularly to himself, and stated
that he was a sort OF mOralist, and that so
far rs he could see, the great United States
Government had no right to take away
the privileges OF an American citizen.
That it was one of his privileges to drink
whisky if he felt like it and had 10 cents,
and when they arrested and fined him for
using that privilege he protested. He
then concluded by reminding the court
that a man couldn't be prevented from
taking a drink of arnica u ~chlOrofOrm, but
that they could hold a Coroner over him
when he was dead. The? Judge assessed
81 and costs and called tie next case.

A FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
Miss Kate Bensberg Scores n Success, Las
Evening at the Opera House.

Miss Kate Bensberg Scores n Success Last
Evening at the Opera House.
Miss Kate Bensberg, the talented and
accomplished young prima donna soprano,
and an excellent company Of artists APP
peared last evening at the Opera House,
under the management Of the famous i'm
pressariO. Max Strakosch. Miss ~Bensberg's
reputation as a vocalist of ability preceded
her here, and those who were fortunate
enough to hear her last evening were more
than assured that she has not
been 'laudcd too highly. Although the
audience was not in numbers what it
should have been, but in intelligence, and
therefore, appreciation, it was all that any
artistic could desire. Wheeling audiences
are critical TO say the least and the one
last evening was no exception, and as its
opinion was favorable, enthusiastically so,
in fact, it speaks volumes.
The performance opened with Balfe's
beautiful One-act opera. THE Sleeping
Queen" with Miss Bensberg as Maria
Dolores, Queen of Leon" The opera is
full of bright and catchy airs and several
difficult and beautiful soprano solos,
which the charming prima donna rem
dered in a beautiful and effective manner.
She possesses q pure, flexible voice OF
broad register and sympathetic quality
which added TO its high cultivation, capti-
waited the ears of the audience, while her
sweet girlish presence and righteousness
at once won their hearts. Miss Pauline
Montegriflo, the contralto, who essayed
the role of Donna Agnes, a Maid of
Honor, " did herself much credit. Besides
possessing a sweet, full voice, her
acting is very attractive. Mr.. Ross
David sang the part of
"Phillipe" with good effect, while Mr..
Frank Walker,,as 1.-The. Regent also scored
quite a hit.
The performance concluded with the
third and fifth acts of Gounod's Faust
and Marguerite, the best parts of this
grand opera, with Miss Bcnsberg as Mar
guerite," Miss Montegriffo rs ''Siebel'
and Martha" Mr.. David as Faust"
and Mr.. Walker as "Mephisto." The only
element of enjoyment this part of the ell
tertainment lacked was the effect of the
orchestral accompaniment which adds so
much TO the rendition OF the opera. How
ever, Signor Serrano, the director, certain
ly made the piano do all that could be ex-
pected of it and both acts were sung with
success.
This evening the third act Of FlotOw's
beautiful Opera, martha" will be given
with Miss Rensberg in the title role. 1.-THE
SleeDing Queen will also be repeated. A
crowded house is assured, rs the whole
company, and especially the star have be-
come favOriteS here.

was only with considerable difficulty that
the shed and the wooden mart of the mill
near by was saved.
