AMUSE MENTS.

The second representation of 1.-THE Silver

He Held a Very Extensive One in
the Police Court.
People who met Judge Mahoney last
night wondered at the tired and care
worn expression in his face. Had they
been present yesterday in the mum
icipal court they would not have won
dered, for the cause was apparent.
When court was called to order the
judge glanced over the tab and saw
that he had three score and twelve
cases to wrestle with. He sighed
YEARLY as he settled back in his chair
and asked the court officer to kindly see
to it that the first sinner was arraigned
before the throne of the blind goddess.
Forty-four of those culprirs were women
who were arrested during the raid of
Saturday night. Thirty-three of them
were fined $40 each. Thirteen forfeited
their bail and one old termagant was
sent to the workhouse. There was no
kind and disinterested friend to pay her
fine.
During the afternoon c. Il. Barr. the
proprietor of the Jumbo" Fred PabSt.
the manager of the Monaco" and
Paul Mckee. the proprietor of the
winter Garden" were arraigned on
the charge of keeping disorderly houses.
they pleaded not guilty and had their
cases set for trial next Tuesday.

About 2:3O o'clock yesterday morning
Patrolman Spafford, OF the central dis
trict, discovered man stretched on the
sidewalk on Second avenue south near
the New York Life building. The man
was in a daZed mental condition and
when aroused by the officer is said to
have acted as if he had been drugged.
He gave his name as c. E. Cliff, resid-
ing at 307 Fifth street south. He
claims to have been assaulted by two
masked men who. he alleges, appeared
from a doorway near where he was
found. Cliff says the footpads robbed
him of $50 in money and thinks that he
was drugged after having been seized
by the robbers. He says he was held
up on his return from church during
the early part of the evening and that
he was not discovered by the officer
until 2:30 in the morning.

The snakes Hot Meal.

A young professional gentleman
of this city recently travelled over
land to Tappahannock. On tne
route he discovered large black
snake slowly crawling among the
branches off tree that stood bJ
the roadside. Following the snake
with his eyes, the observer saw an
unusually large hornets nes1
attached to one of the branches o.
the tree and toward which the
snake was advancing.
When close to the nest the snake
coiled itself about alimb, released
its tail, and with it gave several
hard raps upon the exterior Of the
nest. as if knocking for admission
The noise of the blow and the
swaying of the nest caused the
hornets to leave their home and
prepare for an attack upon the In
rtruder. The snake ceased tapping
With it's tail as soon as the hornets
left the nest, uncoiled itself, and
quickly disappeared, taking the
place Of the hornets within their
nest.
Presently the snakes head was
seen to peer out, and his bright
ewes glistened as he adticipsd Q
feast from which the brayest man
would shrink with fear. The snake
drew his head within the entrance
hole to the nest till nothing was
seen s.. of it except an occasional
forked tongue, that darted in and
out with lightning rapidity.
Thinking the coast clear the
hornets began to return to their
nest, when the snake took them in
as rapidly as they could enter.
Watching the proceeding for some
time. our informant concluded
that all the hornets had been safely
hived, and he stood up in his
buggy, tap ped the nest with hls
whip and awaited the result.
No hornets appearing, the nest
was knocked tothe ground, opened
and his snakeship discovered in
a torpid condition with his size
greatly increased.
That snake was killed and a
post mortem held with the follow
ing result: Stomach stuffed with
dead hornets. -
