appears, said the attorney, F." that this poor
Chinaman has been imposed upon. He
has told me just how he came to be ar
rested, and l must say he was not treated
right. He was attacked by a crowd of bows
on Third street. and blew police whistle
for protection. An officer answered the
call, but instead of arresting Hops assail-
ants be took Hop TO Jail and locked him
up. This man is certainly entitled to DO
lice protection, but it appears that he re-
ceived just the opposite"
Policeman Arlington, who made the ar
rest, arose with very red face and asked
Tor permission to say few words When
he heard the whistle, he said. he answered
II promptly, but arriving on the scene of
Hops troubles could not see any disturb
ance, except that which the Chinaman was
making himself by yelling and blowing his
whistle repeatedly. The officer said he
tried to capture some of Hops assailants.
but could not do so. Despite the officers
presence the excited Ckinaman continued
to blow his whistle and was attracting a
great crowd. Thereupon he placed him
under arrest.
Judge Buckley thought that Hop vas
innocent of any attempt to disturb the
peace, even if he had created disturb
ance. The gangs of newsboys who infest
Third street in the afternoons were very
severe on Cinnamon, and there was no
doubt that Hop had good reasons for get
ting hopping mad The case was or
dered DISMISSED.

morning, but she has not shown up yet.
Now, have no doubt that she wants to
prosecute, but l think this good chance
10 get rid of the case. The whole thing is
nothing but row in an alley over chill
dren. As | said before, the prosecuting
witness talks broken English, but in add.
ton to that, there would be no telling
when she would stop talking when once
she started. Your Honor knows what
those cases are. The defendant looks as
though she might have few words to saw
too. Under the circumstances l shall
move for a dismissal of the case
Judge Buckley, who had heretofore worn
serious and troubled look, now beamed
gratefully upon the good Samaritan, who
had so thoughtfully suggested means of
avoiding one of those terrible cases which
invcriably produce premature gray hair.
Yes, by all means; the case is dismissed, u

While sitting at his desk in the Police

smile grizzly at the desperate attempts OF
some embryo attorney to convince the
Court that their clients were not within a
thousand miles of the scene of the offense
for which they are under arrest. Free
quently, too, Clerk Larkin is heard to
humble something like. "Well. if 1
coulont 90 better'n that fellow, I'd GO and
lump into the river. 1t preyed on his
mind. Last week he threatened several
times to his most intimate friends that
some fine day, when an opportunity pre-
scented itself, he would get up in Court and
make speech that would simply par

clearing his throat, took up a position,
accompanied by an heroic attitude, at the

Judge Buckley coughed and looked seri-

If the applause of an audience, its laugh

success last evening. The PLAY is very
light. The plot can be told in a sentence

song seizes upon the sympathies of the
auditors at once, and the demands for its
repetition are sincere and demonstratiye.
So too, his Bob-o-link" song, the spinning
song and chorus, the "Gesundheit'' and the
tantalizing song with the child, sShut

poetry and are accompanied by grace

please. The people of the play, in the
main, give good support and are effective
as chorus. This strong virtue the whole
performance has-it is clean and unsullied
as driven snow; it is white in its purity
and model drama in its chastity. 1t was
not surprising to hear the people last even

how to deal with the bites of the poisonous

when she dunned him for liquor bill, and
he started away. She then pulled her re-
