Il didn't hit him very hard" said
Johnny between his sobs. ''He called
me names and then | hit him."
well, we send men who fight to the
WOrkhOuSe for thirty days, Johnny. L
guess that will be about enough for you.
won't it? You mustn't hit anybody and
you mustn't swear: now be good boy
when you come out" exclaimed the
judge. Johnny thought he was going to
the wOrkhouSe and his cries disturbed
the court SO that he had to be removed
from the room. When he was released
an hour later he was the happiest boy
in Minneapolis.
Charles Gage was charged with
threatening "to do" II. Loendake and
with using profane and obscene Ian
guage. Charles is carpenter and
prides himself on his muscle. Loen-
dake claims to be a peaceable citizen,
and assured Judge Emery that he
'didn't want no troubles NIT dot man."
''Well, what was the matter?" asked
the court.
"YOu see Judge" answered Loen-
dake, dat fellow he comes around and
he insults me, and he says: You want
to tight?' l says no. then he tells me
TO come down to the river and lie will
throw me in and settle it. When |

to keep away from me. He ought to be

Well Charles. what have you to say?',
He inSulted me. There was two of
them, and | offered to fight both them
at once. and to bet that could lick 'em
both"
Now see here, this won't do" inter
rupted Judge Emery. "Iwant you men
to go about your business and TO keep.
away from each other. If you are
brought here for fighting, I'll send you
both to the workhouse."
Peter Holum and Hanna Hanson were
arraigned in the municipal court yes
terday on the charge of adultery. The
Offense is alleged to have been COM
mitted about seven months ago. They
were each held in $500 bail for al ex-
animation on Tuesday next.
Frank Porter, colOred man. and
Mary jenkins, white woman, were
convicted before Judge Emery in the
municipal court yesterday of fOrnica-
ton, and were committed for thirty days
each.
Gordon S. Hazletine, who was SEN
fenced by Judge Emery on Wednesday
to pay fine of 800 or go to the work
house for thirty days, spent the night
in the central station. lie was unable
to raise the money, and was sent to the
workhOuse yesterday.
SOME PEOPLES VIEWS.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Now that Judge Emery has decided
the Manhattan social club question, let
us see what he says and what his opin-
ion is worth. He makes two great
points Ozone of them that member
was elected when there were but three
present to elect him, he alleging that it
was necessary to have four present.
This fact he CLEANS from the minutes of
the club. True, the minutes do show
that such was the case, but it might
have been and probably was mere
clerical error of the secretary.
The other point was that the club did
not have costly pictures and articles OF
vertu.
Is not this nearly equal to class legis-
IatiOn?
presume his honor would then draw
and that committed by me-
chanic or a man of moderate means;
in other words, the rich club man may
have his wines and liquors either at his
mansion or club, but the man of moder-
ate means must not indulge. Now, if
the drink habit is bad, why does it not
affect the powerful and rich as well as
others?
Judge Emery starts out as reformer,
and makes the fines for any lnfractlon
of the law, particularly those connected
with the drink habit, double and treble
what they were before he became "hls
honor" Has he done anything to de-
crease crime or lessen taxation? No.
1t takes money to run the workhouse
and the Jail.
/ wonder if he ever read from Shake
speare about the quality of mercy.
He says. notwithstanding the fact that
the secretary of the club pleaded not
law. and was very ably de-
Tended, that the club is self
confessed blind pig. In fact, his Opin-
ion assumes things to be facts which
were not proven, or even touched upon
during the trial, and in fact lis so-called
OpiniOn more resembles the argument
of an attorney than the calm and de-
liberate language of a learned, I'M.
preiudiced, unimpassioned judge.
Another point the learned judge
makes is that there was elected vice
president, when the articles did not
provide for such an officer. Now sup
pose they did not, what difference doesit
make. 1t certainly can not make the
incorporation illegal or vOidable. 1t
does seem to me that the judge has got
ten things somewhat mixed up. There
were no proceedings before him to dis
franchise the club. and In fact he could
have no jurisdiction of such question.
The only question before him was, did
Mr.. Sullivan violate the liquor ordi-
nance? l will wager (and l think
L know what l am talking
about that the great major
ity of the older and ADLER lawyers
mean those who are wholly unprejudiced
on this auestion-will, when they come
to look into the facts and the law, give
it as their opinion that Judge Emery
Will be completely reversed by the SUI
preme court when the case comes to be
argued before it next April.
And in closing let me say, Judge
Emery, in his bitterness, says that the
club is only device to dispense cheap
