pnnchlnr steel and Iron.

According to a paper read before the
Engineers club, Of Philadelphia, on the
proper limit Of thickness TO steel which
may be punched, the statement is made
that the thicker the steel the greater the
damage caused by such an operation.
Recent tests made, to determine this
matter are declared TO indicate that
punching Injuries steel less than iron up
to, say, three-quarters of an inch in
thickness, at which point the two ma
terials are about equal in this respect,
and beyond this point the value Of steel
after punching decreases quite rapidly
as the thickness increases; in iron the
percentage seems to be much more con-
slant.
The character of the fracture after
punching is also found to be materially
affected by the thickness Of the mate
rial. In view of these circumstances, it
is proposed to limit to one-half inch the
thickness of the metal subjected to
punching, excepting in the cases of
girders Of more than fifty feet in length,
when it may be nine-sixteenths of an
inch; in top cords and end posts, five
eighths of an inch, and in shoes, pedes-
tails and bed plates, three-quarters OF
an inch.-New York Sun.

GUS horse thief was up for trial on a
charge of stealing cattle As he had no
counsel the court appointed Bill Stone
to defend the case. Stone took his man
over to a window and talked to him for
a few minutes, then announced that he
was ready for trial. 1--WE plead guilty,
your honor, to the charge against US, y
announced the young lawyer. The court
wasted no time in giving a verdict, for
horse stealing was a heinOus offense in
those days in this part Of the country,
and condemned the man to fifteen years
in the penitentiary.
But, Judge, we plead guiltyw yelled
Stone, expressions of amazement and
disappointment alternating on his face.
Fifteen years, repeated the judge.
"But, judge, we plead guiltyr re
peated Bill Stone, raising his long arms
like windmills. But the judge was OBJ
durate.
"If that is the case said Stone, eve
will argue the case" and he forthwith
started in upon the defense. For thirty
minutes heargued and pleaded with that
eloquence that is characteristic of him
and at the end Of his harangue he sal
down and watched the effect of his
words. The judge smiled and made thC
sentence five years. Bill Stone had wor

SatiricaI Farce Comedy, Farce
and Comic Opera.

BIjou Opera House-To those who de-
sire an evening of amusement the ap-
pearance of John c. Rice in his amusing
satire, "a Knotty Affair." should prove
the right thing in the right place. He
is annouced to appear at the Bijou for a
weeks engagement, commencing with
a matinee performance today at $50.
MIR. Rice has been before the public for
many years, and has furnished amuse-
ment TO thousands of pleasure seekers.
This will be the second year of his star
ring success, and, if the business of the
future continues as large as that he has
enioyed in the past, the PROJECTS are
that it will be long time before "A
Knotty Affair" gives way to something
new. The company surrounding the star,
Judging from the names in the cast, is
one of exceptional excellence, and
should prove well-balaDced throughout.
Miss Sallie Cohen. the we'll known SOU
brette, appears in the role of Kitty
Carleton. Will III. Sloane, thoroughly
reliable Irish comedian, last year a
member of Hallen & Harris company,
and for several seasons before that in
many well-known pieces, will take the
character of Don Roderigo. All of the
remainder of the organization are well
known to all amusement lovers. Harry
Sloan,a thoroughly representative heat-
ricaI manager, is directing the tour of
the company. and vouches for the ex-
cellence of the performance. He also
promises beautiful costumes and
excellent scenery. The piece is in three
acts, the last containing two scenes.
All are said 10 be Interesting, and the
play goes in succession of laughs, from
the rise to the fall of the curtain.

Grimes. The ward beat him,
but the street railway man
aged to secure. the necessary
one or two votes in the convention.
The Twelfth ward does not elect an.
alderman this year. Out in the Thir-
teenth ward was the only place the
street railway company met defeat. 1t
colonized the ward with employees, and
housed them in tents, but the majority
was against it even then.
The street railway made, in the
nomination of these candidates for alder
men, one would think, a record on
it was not willing to do anything of the
sort. 1t

1t wanted a candidate for mayor to its
liking. 1t sent its men into the conven-
ton to get him. They were successful.
They nominated a stakeholder, a man
who is financially interested in the
street railway company. They could
not do much more, could they, than put
one of the firm ON the Republican tick ct
for mayor?
But the fight of the street railway
company was only half done when these
candidates pleasing to itself were nomi-
mated for office. They must be elected.
They will be if the street railway can
accomplish it. Behind the street rail-
way are millions of shining dollars.
The Golfers OF the comany are open to
the Republican campaign committee.
They can draw at sight at any
time and be certain that the draft
will be accepted. When the street rail-
way wants anything it moves in the
shortest way to get it. 1t can we'll af-

COURT BRIEFS.

Judge Hooker has made decision in
the case of Bridget MacNamara VS..
Michael CaSserly ct al, involving the
title TO large portion of the property
in the near neighborhood of the Lake of
the Isles. The court finds former de-
cree OF the probate court assigning said
real estate to Margaret Bomen, valid,
and that claimants, whose alleged in
terests are adverse to the Minneapolis
u st. Louis Railway company and its
receiver, have defeated their purpose to
recover by their methods of prosecuting
the case. The shops of the railroad are
on the property involved. The decision
gives the right of possession to parties
who have purchased under the same
title as the railroad.

A Farce Comedy Skit.

Frank Erhart, a bartender, had an ex-
perience Friday night unique enough to
make hit Oh the farce comedy stage.
He was walking down Cedar avenue

cal joker stepped out from a dark door

seltzer bottle full in his face. Erhart
did mot relish the joke at all, and put
after the perpetratOr like a race horse.
The other fellow had evidently trained

from Erhart. The latter started back
to where his friends were waiting for
him, and, in passing the dark doorway,
he saw man standing there. Think

Senior ArreoIa Now Lies in the
County Jail


Senior Jose Arreola, the Mexican gall
liant who was brought back from
New Orleans by Inspector Hoy Friday
night to answer to a serious charge pre-
ferred by Miss Emma Taggart, was ar
raigned in the municipal court yester-
day afternoon before Judge Mahoney.
Miss Taggart was in court with her
mother, and great tears rolled down her
cheeks and slid off to the floor as she
looked on the man who had won her
little heart. Alas, for Arreolai Alas,
for the maid, ArreOla declined to plead
guilty to the charge of seduction under
promise of MART, md waived eXami-
nation. He was bound over to the grand
jury, and the bail fixed at 800. He did
not. of course, have the money, SO went
to the county jail.
The night Arreola had passed with
the cockroaches in the central station
did not enhanc his fatal beauty by
any means. His nose had taken to its
of his natural complexion. His collar
was rumpled and wiited, and sprouts of
black whiskerS struggled through the

was ruffied and furrowed, and the side
glance he deigned to beStOw upon the
forlorn Emma was more of scOwl than
look of affection. He looked every
bit the tuba player as he stalked out of
the court room in company with the
officer who escorted him to the county's
wagon. and waived him to his seat be-
