Modern Languages and Modern Inventions,
Two lectures on the above subjects will be
delivered at Masonic Hall tomorrow at 4:3O and
8p.m. by DR.. Richard S. Rosenthal, the we'll
known author Of "The Meisterschaft System"
At first glance the connection between modern
tongues and modern inventions may not be
quite clear. We understand, however. that the
doctor has for several months used Edison's
perfected monograph as an ''aid with his
students. After giving them the lessons Dr.
Rosenthal transfers the same. exactly as he has
delivered them to the class, on Edison's cylin-
ders. The pupils have now the books with
cylinders prepared to match them. They have
thus a means of hearing the same lesson. in all
its purity OF pronunciation and information.
They can hear this lesson thousands of times.
and while the eve follows the printed text the
ear must of necessity master the foreign sounds
Pupils have thus a tireless, always patient and
ever ready teacher on hand. They keep a
native Spaniard, Frenchman. or German, SO to
say on tap, and must as q natural consequence
obtain perfect mastery and control of the for
eign tongues. Both lectures are free and all
interested in modern languages are cordially
invited to attend them.

A SHIVERING COURT.
As the Police Court Fires are Out the Judge

As the Police Court Fires are Out the Judge
Dispenses Justice in His Overcoat.
After hard struggle Judge Miller succeeded
last year in getting from Congress an APP
preparation large enough to put the Police
Court in good sanitary condition. This year
the passage Of the bill was secured to provide
trials by jury &C., but now another obstacle is
in the way of the administration of justice.
This serious obstacle is the lack of fuel to
heat the building. The last hod of coal was
used this morning and the janitor had to look
about for chips of wood to start the fires with
When court opened Judge Miller took his
seat with his heavy overcoat on as the small fire
did not anything like properly heat the ROOM
The clerks rooms, which are small, were the
only rooms in the building that were anything
like comfortable. In the cell ROOM where
about two dozen prisoners were locked up
there was no fire at all and the unfortunates
had to huddle together to keep warm.
The stove in the end of the corridor near the
cell for females had some ashes in it and on the
floor was stick of wood but it was not enough
TO even warm the stove and therefore it was
not lighted. There was only one female pris-
oner in the cell and she sat on the floor in one
corner and made frequent complaints of the
cold weather. The prisoners after spending
six hours or more in these cold cells are likely
to suffer from it.
