Sec here, visitors to the FOOL Your at
tention is called to the very weary and
pathetic expression on the faces of some of
the more intelligent monkeys. The pro-
fessor who has been registering the "vola-

has discovered that they are suffer-
ing from a cause of which their
many visitors never dream. 1t has hith-
erto been borne uncomplainingly, but
finally one Of the patriarchs of the brood
remarked to the professor one morning
while eating his oatmeal: "Of the hundreds
of our daily visitors, not one in ten of the
adults fail to attempt to trace their rela-
tionship to US And I'm telling you right
now that we're getting mighty tired of it.
Why, could you but see some Of the speci-
mems of so-called humanity who boldly as
sert themselves as descendants of our
ancient and honorable family you would
not wonder at our pain and disgust"

Escaped His Deserts-A Begging
Fraud-POlice Court Gases.

Fraud-POlice Court Cases.
There was plenty OF work yesterday
morning in the municipal court, the
various tattered specimens of vicious
humanity forming a good opportunity
for study by novelist.
Charles Walton, who was arrested
Sunday evening for an indecent assault
upon eight-year-o Winnie Mcnamara,
escaped his just punishment of long
term of imprisonment in the states
prison. owing to the weakness of the
case of the prosecution. The charge of
indecent assault was changed to dis
orderly conduct, and Walton pleading
guilty, received the full limit of punish
ment for that charge, ninety days in
the WOrkhouse.
Agent NJ. l.. Hutchins, of the Humane
society, brought up three tough Speci-
mems of humanity on a charge of street
begging, and one of them furnished
some very interesting data for the
courts enlightenment. The fellow is
supposed TO be an all-round crook from
Philadelphia, and was caught in the
wholesale district Tuesday soliciting
aims. He has lost the lower half of his
left leg, and uses crutches, but his ap-
pearance evidently stands him in good
stead, for when arrested and searched
he had Sl32.40 in his pockets. A paper
in his possession gives his name as &c.
Ii. Bauman, st. Paul." and purports to
have been signed by IL. P.Dodge, NJ. D.,
of Pennington" a number of bogus
subscriptions following. He gave his
name at the station as p. FL.
Carvn. He pleaded guilty and was
fined S25, which he paid. A gold watch
was found hidden in his boot. but De-
tective Horan failed to find descrip-
ton Of it among the list of stolen prop
erty in the chiefs Office. The watch
was given back to the fellow, and he
was warned TO get out of st. Paul as
fast as his one leg and crutcheS would
permit.
William Stiles. for being drunk and
doing the ''craZy man" act, was sent
out to Como for thirty sunsets in order
to regain his senses.
Albert Kittleson, rounded up by Off
Ger Schram for street begging, had his
case continued until Monday.
Eddie Barrett, wa nting to be in fash
ion, rode around the city on bicycle
which he says he bought for So. AS DR..
G. Nelson recognized it as the one he
had had stolen, Eddie was placed in du-
rance vile. His case went over until
tomorrow.
John Sweeney and John Brown, for
doing the flim-ilam act Tuesday evening
in Charles Mlller's shoe store. and there
by obtaining pair of shoes valued at
$5, will take Il well-earned holiday at
Como for ninety days.
Annie Penny, tall, thin, sour-faced
female, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly. Her postoffice address
for the next sixty days will be care of
Hotel de Bum. Lake Como, Ramsey
county, MINI.
Frank Davidson, a colored boy, put
up $40 for indulging too freely IN "Old
Crow" and Oge Pearson parted with a
like amount.
Tom Hoy, granger, Tuesday even
ing arrived i'll town and pro-
ceeded to see the sights. The re-
suit was disastrous, as Tom, besides
having "head," also was arrested. He
received warning from Judge Twohy,
and was set at liberty.
William Wammick, charged ith va
grancy. was told to get out of the city
without delay, or he would be sent to
Como.
