TIPS ON THE RACES.
Judge Miller Makes Some Remarks on the
Subject.

This morning in the Police Court Judge Mil
Ter heard several cases of alleged theft, showing
the various means employed by some Of them
to obtain money or goods of other persons in
an illegal manner. In one case the defendant
was a stranger in the city. He gave his name
as William Holland and said he lived in Albany.
His occupation was given as a bookmaker 3
clerk. and be told Judge Miller that he was at
present in the employ Of man named Hig-
gins, Who owns a stable. A young man named
William Traland accused the prisoner Of the
larceny Of S25 by means Of trick.
Holland gave the young man several "tips''
on the races and he lost. When a bet was made
on the fourth race the ''tip" proved correct,
and Holland suggested that the jockey should
Tralands hand, got it cashed and kept s25 for
the jockey. Traland made known his objection
to Hollands action to the police and the latter
was arrested. Judge Miller instructed the jury
that if they thought the money was obtained by
trick for himself and not for the jockey he
was guilty.
The Jury returned q verdict of guilty.
The judge questioned the prisoner, who said
that he bad never got a wrong dollar from any
one in his life.
"In case the man had lost" said the Judge,
"what would the jockey have given him? What
WOuiu ne nave gOtOn II the race mad been
thrown, as is done in nine cases out Of ten?
Nothing, of course. There is no reciprocity; it
is all one sided"
Continuing the judge said that there were
numerous devices employed by persons who
follow the races to rob the people. Some, he
said, snatch watches, while others pick pockets
and still Others get money from persons who
bet By just such tricks as in this case.
The court ordered restitution and imposed a
fine of S25, which was paid.
George Gray, neatly dressed colored man.
got in trouble because he knew how to ride a
bicycle. He appeared at Dakins bicycle estab-
lishment and offered to sell bicycle for SlO
1t turned out that the bicycle belonged to the
National Life and Maturity Association, and
was taken from in front of their Office.
The prisoner was held in $500 security to
await the action of the grand jury.
A colored man named Joseph E. Hawkins was
placed on trial charged with the larceny of slO,
the property of a colored woman named Louisa
Lucas. The old woman's son was in prison and
she gave Hawkins sl0 with which to pay his
fine. She charged that he failed to procure her
boys release and she had to raise 81 later on to
get him out.
Judge Miller said unfortunately the transac-
ton was not larceny. In some of the states, he
said, the law provides for an offense of larceny
after trust, but Congress will not pass such a
law for this community.
The defendant was acquitted

ball Today.
There were Hfty-three prisoners in the Police
Court today, decrease Of twenty as COM
pared with last Monday. The deficiency was
caused by the absence Of boys and girls who
remained out Of sight Of the police Saturday
night and yesterday, as they did not want to
miss the circus parade this morning. There
was also absence Of the usual number
Of spectators, and they, too, were in
the crowd along the line Of the cir
the bars were old hands In the business, and
rum was the cause OF their trouble. One OF the
persons in Judge Kimball's procession was an
elderly man named George Baggot He had
been In the same place before and on n similar
charge. That charge was drinking liquor at
night after working all day. The defendant is Q
printer by trade, and it was generally admitted
that he worked every day.
"But it's this night business that the court is
after" remarked Judge Kimball. THAT the
man works during the day is in his favor, but
he certainly cannot get drunk every night. I"
The defendant denied that he got drunk every
night although he was too intoxicated Saturday
night, to remember where he was arrested. He
was required to give bonds in the sum Of $40
or go down for sixty days.
VIM. H. Pingree, Elijah Buckner and others
plead guilty to charges OF disorderly conduct
and were committed in default of fine
Henry Active, Eli Moore and John Gray,
colored, would not deny that they participated
in crap game few days ago on Gay Street
and the judge fined them IS each. For a SINH
lar offense in Connor's alley on Washington's
birthday they were similarly fined
When the next case was called the name Of
Policeman Rhodes was called. and one of his
brother officers answered: Hes not. here. /
saw him at the circus
One by one the others were called, until each
OF the victims had been given hearing. Many
OF them were sent down, while others were
released, and in several cases the Judge took
occasion to remind the prisoners of the evils of
intemperance.

Schneider's only visitors yesterday were his
brothers, Frank and Will They reached the
Jail about 10 In the morning and remained
in consultation with him until about z
O'Clock. Tho condemned man was brough,
out into the private Office of the warden, where,
under the constant observation Of the officers,
the interview was held. Since his conviction
Schneider has been carefully watched, the vigil
ance of the Jail officials since the scene in court
on Saturday having been redoubled. While he
was at court his cell was thoroughly searched.
and on his return he himself was a. carefully
searched.
When he reached the Jail Saturday on his re-
turn from court he had about recovered his
usual compOsure. He was offered food, but de-
clined it, remarling that he was not at all
hungry. The published statements, however,
Of his eating only enough to keep a baby alive
are not true. He never has been regarded by the
prison officials as hearty eater. but it is said by
them that while he has undoubtedly eaten less
since his conviction nevertheless he has eaten
all that has been necessary to sustain him. He
eats now little Ii anything during the day, but
about or in the evening partakes OF a SUBJ
stantial meal, generally consisting Of broiled
steak, toast and tea or milk.
SATURDAY nlgnt ne rested comparatively wen.
and yesterday morning appeared. as stated by a
Jail official, to feel ''ss if he had made fool of
himself in court the day before" Until the ar
rival of his brothers he occupied the most of
his time in walking up and down the narrow
corridor running before the row of cells in
which he is located. His brothers brought him
a supply Of cigars, and after they left
he smoked almost constantly, apparently
deriving the greatest enjoyment therefrom.
The usual religious services were held in the
rotunda Of the Jail yesterday afternoon, and as
Schneider's cell is but few feet away he had
an opportunity Of hearing them. He had no
opportunity Of actively participating in them.
for the reason that the prisoners confined in the
south wing Of the prison are not allowed to do
so, the fact that prisoners confined in this wing
are either charged with or convicted of the more
serious crimes making it unwise to release them
in a body at any time. After the religious SER
vices Schneider emerged from his cell
and spent the rest Of the day in
pacing up and down the corridor and in smok-
ing. He slept well last night and this morning
appeared in a much better condition. The Jail
officials do not anticipate having any trouble
with Schneider either as to preserving his
health or in restraining him. They believe now
that there is no further cause likely to arise
tending to irritate him that he will quiet down
and soon regain his usual spirits.
Saturday DR.. Boyle OF this city visited
Schneider at the request Of the family and
counsel Of Schneider with a view, it is under
stood, of examining Schneider as to his sanity.

Much interest is being manifested in the rep

passion Play" to be given at the Universalist
Church on Wednesday evening next for the
Mary Washington monument fund The lecture
has already been heard several times here and
has been pronounced BY many as a satisfactory
account Of the wonderful play, its origin and
manner of presentation.
Miss Richards has made quite a study Of the
people Of Oberammergau, their customs and
ayocations. and above all the deep religious
spirit with which they enter into the sacred
drama and the influences which have been at
work through more than two centuries to pro-
duce peasantry 50 superior to others of their

THE POET WHITTIER,
A Correspondence Between Him and q
Eighth Grade School Girl.

A Correspondence Between Him and an
Eighth Grade School Girl.
The pupils in the eighth grade of the Arthur
building have recently become much interested
in the works Of the poet Whittier, and under
the direction Of their teacher, Miss Steele, some
time has been spent in reading his poems So
much qualification did the scholars derive from
this pursuit that they deputed one Of their
number, Miss Alice W. Wasserbach, to write the
poet, which she did, saying:
My classmates, who have authorized me to
write this letter, have studied your beautiful
poem ''snow Bound" with great pleasure, al
though but three Of Us have experienced such
q storm as you describe.
The story is 80 realistic that with the help Of
our New England teacher we felt ourselves
o c,M, sss, Welcome :sI ONE to yS1r home b,
sT Il. S:. Us .pssar
Burst nowsr-iike into rosy Gloom"
With feelings of admiration and gratitude for
the pleasure you have afforded us and the good
you have taught US, We trust that our thanks,
| though not 'untraced to lips unknown" vet
may greet thee "like the odors blown from un-
seen meadows newly mown."
The author Of "Snow Bound Is the favorite
poet Of teacher and pupils, the respect and es-
TEEN in which he is held being evident by our
purpose to give the Quaker poet the place of
honor in our school house.
Neither the writer nor her classmates expected
any reply, and all were therefore greatly de-
lighted when Miss Wasserbach brought to school
the following note from the venerable Quaker
poet and read it to all:
OAK KNOLL, DANvERs, Mass.
DEAR FRIEND: ! am pleased to know
that INV writings find favor In the school which
thy kind letter represents, and beg thee to
convey to the eighth grade my sincerest wishes
for their welfare and progress. am faithfully
