For Stealing Flowers In the Park,

Robert Gray, q seven-year-old colored boy
who came here from Virginia, went ont early
this morning to gather some flowers as had
been his custom III Virginia, and the first piece
of woods that he reached. as he supposed, was
a triangular park at the intersection of Massa-
chusetts avenue and llth street. In
the park he gathered bunch OF
hiacs and when an officer arrested him his
excuse was that he thought he could gather
flowers here as well as he could in Virginia.
The excuse did not satisfy the policeman and
the boy was taken TO Judge EImball's court,
where he was charged with trespass. He re-
peated his excuse and the judge released him
on his personal bonds, telling his mother that
she had better correct him.

SOUSA AT SALT LAKE CITY.
The Leader OF the Marine Band Shown
Through the Mormon Tabernacle.

The Leader OF the Marine Band Shown
Through the Mormon Tabernacle.
When the Marine Bands western trip WAS
first proposed it was expected that they could
play in the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake;
but for some reason, the church authorities
there did not choose to confer this privilege
upon the national band, and they were forced
into the Mormon Theater. which. although
one of the largest in the west, could not &C.
commodate all the crowd. What the author
tiles lacked in encouragement to the visit
o. the band, however, the people made
up III appreciation, for there is no
more musical people in America than the
Mormons. Mr.. Sousa was greatly surprised to
be met at the depot by delegation, who took
him from his private car to the temple block
and showed him through the temple and up to
the top, where after thirty-nine years of build
ing it was just ready to have the figure of the
angel Gabriel set on the capstone. He was then
taken into the tabernacle. where the wonder
full acoustics OF the building were demonstrated
and recital given on the great organ which
the Mormons enormously call the largest in
the world. He then taken to the hotel
where he met delegation Of musicians and
newspaper men. and large band took posses
sion OF the corridor and for an hour played his
marches.
Strange to say that when the curtain rose on
the band at the theater the beautiful picture
formed by the red, white and blue uniforms.
which in every other city had been greeted
with resonant cheers, had not a particle Of
effect on the Mormons and not ripple of ap-
plause or welcome was heard. This was at
tributed to lack Of patriotism till the encore
to the first number, which happened to be Mr.
Sousas medley OF national airs. set their party
wild. As soon the first air was recognized
they broke right into the middle of the music
with deafening applause and from that time on
it was o most enthusiastic audience, thoroughly
captured by the magic Of the playing Of the
Marine Band.
There is a most uncouth and woe-begone
appearing hermit in Utah. who appears upon
the streets almost unclothed. he wears u
small patch OF bright colored cloth for q cap,
pair OF much worn and air-checked wooden
sandals on his feet, while the only covering on
his body is a loose-ftting gunny sack scarcely
reaching to his knees. This was one Of the
first sights seen by the band when they left
their cars. and it was such curiosity that the
..nys quickly surrounded and Intercepted it.

.Iermit. becoming quite indignant, replied in

DECLINE IN CLEVELAND STOCK.

Senator German said to Have the Best
Chance of Any Eastern Democrat.
Speaker Crafts OF the houee IF representa-
tives Of Illinois and one of the delegates at
large to the democratic national convention
was at the Capitol today.
In a conversation with n SrAR reporter this
afternoon. concern ng the presidential sitra-
lion. he said that he evidences of a steady
decline in the Cleveland stock. He said
that there was undoubtedly q strong
sentiment in favor of Cleveland in Illinois:
that the people generally honored and liked
Cleveland, but that there was spreading
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of giving him the
nomination
The resolutions adopted at the state conven-
tion, he said. expressed pretty well
the feeling in Illinois. The FIST question
that will come up III the CaIcIses and
conferences of the various delegations when
they get TO Chicago Will be whether a western
or an eastern man should be nominated
II they decide on a western man the Illinois
delegation will OF course present Mr.. Palmer
and do all they can for him
An eastern man does not necessarily mean
Mr.. Cleveland aud Mr. Clevelaud's defeat Will
not necessarily mean that the nomination is
going 10 the west. Some other eastern man
than Cleveland may be nominated.
what DO you think Of Whitney? was asked
GDENAN IAk SlRSNtsEsI EASTERN MAN.
II do not think it likely that his name will
take in the west" was his reply.
THE eastern man who is strongest in the
west in my opinion, is Senator German. He
is very popular in the west and has a consider
able original following IN that section
If Cleveland IL defeated, which seems not
improbable, Mr.. German has the best chance
possessed by any eastern man tor the nominal
tion. A number of the Illinois delegates are
German men.
How about Hill?'' was asked.
while / do not think Mr. Hill will
get the nomination" MIR. Crafts replied
lit would not be true to say thar ne has no
support IN Illinois or elsewhere in the West
He has some support in the Illinois
delegation. j do not think he deserves
the abuse lie gets. i do not think
that one who has been Of such service as he has
and who Jas accomplished what he has should
be jumped on ana declared an uDit man
for President l do not say this in
advocacy OF his nomination. i am inclined to
doubt the wisdom of nominating either him or
Cleveland. i do not think either will be
nominated.
In talking with many people from various
sections mud this feeling quite general The
argument AT the national convention III favor
OF western man will De that that Is the field
for new work; that the republicans
put up western man generally and we always
have put up one from the east and had him
beaten except IN the one instance. whe re the
republicans nominated eastern man also.
Then they were both eastern men and Cieve-
land was elected"

BE an Insult,


Be an Insult.

whose professional name is Herman Linde, was
placed on trial in the Police Court this morn
ing charged with insulting Miss Jessie Hop
klns. the sixteen-year-old daughter of Maj. I.
s. Hopkins.
The occurrence on which the charge was
based happened at the corner OF 9th and +
streets week ago yesterday. Mr.. Darlington
appeared for the defendant and was assisted
by Mr.. Simon Wolf, a personal friend Of the
defendant, who stated that the latter WAS an
artist and declaimer Of more than international
fame.
The defendant, who is German, was very
excited in his manner. even in court. and coun-
sci frequently referred to this M well as to the
fact Of the sharp eyes OF the defendant
Miss Hopkins, in her evidence. said that she
had an engagement to meet her mother
at the corner OF 9th and streets on
Monday OF last week, and when walk
ing TO and fro on the sidewalk her atten-
ton WAS attracted to the defendant, who was
gazing at her. She said he touched his hat
and motioned with his lips as though he were
about to speak As she moved along the Dave
ment he stood in her way and finally she went
to her fathers office aud told him OF what had
transpired
Maj. Hopkins then went down to the side
walk to set II the man would repeat what his
uauSuscE udu cOnplalneO OF. he walked TO the
defendant. 80 he told the court, and spoke to
him, telling him that the young lady was his
daughter aud directing his attention to what
his daughter had complained of.
''lhe defendant" said Maj. Hopkins
''cailed me liar and struck him..
Two cOlored men appeared and they cor
roborated the young iadys statement Of the
case.
Mt. Wolf and Mr.. J. D. Martin gave evidence
a. to the reputation Of the defendant, and the
latter said fle had an engagement to meet the
defendant that afternoon at 9Th and + ytreetx
The defendant testified that he was there for
the purpose Of keeping his appointment with
Mr.. Martin and while there he saw the young
lady. Being man Of art he was naturally At
tracted 70 the pretty face Of the lady. After
telling the court that he had keen eyes he said
that his motive had evidently been mistaken.
Il meant nothing" he said, except the adj
miration Of a figure" The young lady, he
said, told him she wished he would stop look
ing at her and he made no reply. III anybody
was insulted," he said, Il was"
He then told Of Maj. Hopkins appearance. He
sawMat. Hopkins speak to her, he said and he
thought he spoke - . stranger asking for direc-
tions
Counsel argued the case and Judge Kimball
In conclusion said he could not but believe the
evidence of the three Witnesses
He said there we're different ways OF looking
and he thought that the defendant mistook the
person. Any lady under the circumstances
would have felt insuited, and he thought Il the
duty OF the court TO protect them from these
apparent insults.
4 ans Of e2s was imposed, and counsel said
he would consider the matter of taking thu
