We, that is gentleman friend and my
self, had the pleasure of representing Comus
a the Laughing Success" at Poolesville last
Saturday Prof. Arthur Hawks, of Balti.
more, was present in his most lively mood,
and the humorous repast that he spread
was simply roaring success, and the peo
pie of Poolesville will not be likely To laugh
again in the next six months.
In reproducing jokes the Professor is un-
matched He retouched some of Talmage's
and Coughs jokes with telling effect they
certainly lost Lothing by his coloring. Prof.
Hawks has the faculty of presenting dozen
different faces to the audience in as many
seconds, and that is something Talmage or
Cough could never equal. There was no
moral or physical defect or weakness that
was not probed by his caustic wit. All
WINGED under this probing, but all laughed
veclerously and went away satisfied that
this batch Of merriment, added to this usual
Christmas good cheer, will deposit coat
ing ON their ribs that they have not ex-
perienced for many year. 1t was truly a
4EOaring success"

Notice of appeal WAS given and bonds in the

In imposing the tine, Judge Allyn said the ex.

10 the high standing of the defendant the con.
tempt was peculiarly fragrant No doubt Mr.
Miiligan deserved the full penalty, still the
court was not disposed to be severe, and the fine
was fixed at $50
AS to the contempt of the city council, Judge
ALVIN said that matter was Of greater import

The court thought the council must be acting
