The LAWYERS Joke.

A wcll-known Maine lawyer recently
told story about Hon. Lewis Barker.
which illustrates that gcntlcman's ability
and tact. Many years ago Mr. Barker
went into a western court To defend boy
who was accused of stealing He took ad
vantage Of the latitude which is given to
practice in some western courts To make "A
demonstration on which he would hardly
have venturcd in the East He made a
warm and eloquent plea for the respondent
and he thought he had enlisted the sympa-
thics Of all the jurors but one When he
reached the climax Of his plea he
sprang back, as if to avoid falling rock
threw up his arms and exclaimed, Every
man Of YOU who thinks that boy is limo
cent, stand up, All the jurors but one
actually arose from their chairs as if the
court had given the order Mr. Barker
then devoted his energies to the odd Juror
and won his case

II can curl your hat at the brim for you

The man behind the counter assured him
that it was and the purchaser paid for the
hat and went out smiling
To reporter who happened to be pres
ent, the owner of the store said
Every man, rs a rule, knows what kind
of a hat he looks best in and some people
are miserable ii they do not yet exactly
the shape they want. There is no rulc as
to what shape Of hat would be becoming
10 man. There might come in TWO men
of similar appearance yet the hat that
would look becoming to one would not
look becoming to the other. The only way
to know is by trying il on
what is the fashionable shape for
derby now?"
Pretty low crowned and redium
brimmed. but there is really no particular
fashion for derby hats. In the case OF
derby hats nearly every man wears the
shape he thinks most becoming It's a
democratic kind Of hcadwcar and few
think f anything but hat they will look
well in. Occasionally people hesitate be
tween fashion and eXpedicncy, but when
they do it is the exception.

Criminal Notes.

Fred Yockey, who was accused OF hav-
ing stolen pug dog from Nick Covar-
rubias, was admitted to bail of $50 yes
terdsy in Justice Kings Court. He says
that he never gave the dog to Nick and
hence could not steal it.
Louis Appel, German, was arrested
by Chief Cuddy for entering the barber
shop of Joseph Jager, 10S East First
street. He had stolen quantity of
razors, brushes, etc. He confessed to
the crime when arrested.
Henry Smith, who broke into room
in the Stephenson House, on the corner
of Los Angeles and First streets, few
weeks ago, was sentenced to a year at
San Quentin by Judge Cheney yesterday
for burglary.
Nellie Wilson appeared before Justice
King yesterday on the charge of petit
larceny. The case was continued until
to-day, owing to the failure of the COM
planning witness to put in an appearance
and if he does not appear to-day the case
will be dismissed.
Maggie Blair and the Collins family,
her neighbors, have been having trouble
again and the outcome was battery
case, in which the chief actors are two
boys, twelve and eight years Of age.
Justice King dismissed the case yester-
day, with sharp reproof to the parents,
who are unable to keep their children
from fighting.

EDITORS HERALD-In the Presidential
campaign of 1892 predict the all-absorb-
ing questions, "How will New York
how will Indiana go?" will not be moot.
ed if, indeed, the result of the coming
election proves there was the least war
rant for such questions in the present
campaign. Now that timid and ignorant
people throughout the country see-what
always was the truth-that there is not
the slightest danger that the Democratic
party will re-enslave the colored people,
pay the rebel war debt, pension Confed-
crate soldiers and divide the Union, we
may with confidence look to the very
near future for the almost entire
obliteration Of sectionalism in this
country, and especially may we expect
this, when we come to realize the great
truth that Democratic principles are the
real principles at heart of three-fourths
of the people of our land. People of
sense cannot fail to be seriously i'm
pressed with the "monkeying" duplicity
OF the Republican leaders at Washington
and elsewhere on the Fisheries, Chinese,
tariff and other great political questions
of the hour, and the able, straight for
ward and brave course of our great Pres
ident, Grover Cleveland, on all these
questions, so vital to the interests Of the
people. So that predict that in the
campaign of 1872 we will hear very few
ask: "How will New York-how will
Indiana go" but that instead We will
hear something like these questions
Chow will the great States of Ohio,
Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Michigan, Ken
lucky, California, Alabama, Wisconsin
and Virginia go?" JOHN COKE.

A Good Display at the Academy Of
Music.
The entertainment given by the Los
Angeles Wheelmen at the Academy of
Music last evening was witnessed by sew
eral hundred people, who appea, ed to
enjoy the proceedings immensely. The
cyclists gave grand parade through the
streets preparatory to entering the hall,
carrying on their wheels Chinese lanterns
and other strange devices whereby to at
tract attention. They made very fine
showing as they appeared in the hall to
open the entertainment, their machines
being gayly decorated with bunting and
streamers. After a parade, Mr.. Chal-
fort of Georgia gave clever exhibition
on Star bicycle, this being the
first performance on such machine
ever given in this city. Mr.. Lemuel
Morgan, of Indiana, followed with some
fancy skating, and although lapse of
nine months had occurred since he last
donned the rollers, his performance was
not impaired thereby and his difficult
feats were much admired. Mr.. Aldrich,
late of Maryland, but now residing here,
gave fanciful display on crank ma.
chine, and this was followed by tandem
riding by Messrs. Marengo and Burke, a
novel and adept exhibition. A game at
polo on "wheelback" came next, and re.
suited in a victory for Messrs. ]. P. Per-
cival and w. s. Wing. Mr.. L. B. Kin

A Republican Meeting.

The strains of band of musicians last
evening at the corner of Second and
Fort streets announced to the citizens in
that vicinity that the party Of trusts and
high tariff was holding mass meeting,
contrary to agreement between the
County Committees Of both parties. 1t
had been agreed that during the visit of
the Odd Fellows no political mass meet
ings should be held by either party. The
Democrats kept their part of the agree
ment, but the party of broken promises
kept up its record. Hon. WIN. Williams
acted as Chairman and introduced the
speakers, General H. @. Hedges, of
Ohio, Hon. A. N. Grant and Hon. j. B.
Kenner, Of Indiana, who tried to ex-
plain away the fallacies of the Republi-
can protection principles. A quartette
which was present received more ap-
plause than the speakers.
