happy among the cver-blooming trees;
but cages hang in balconies, ut doors
and windows, all about the courts, ana
under the caves; and passing down tho
streets one hears ut all hours gushes OF
the melody from the wonderful mimick-

hide their young as they choose in the

One splendid fellow has his perch on
a windmill fan opposite my door, where
all day long he pours out trills raptur-
GUS with glce. Some mornings he is in
such ecstasy that he bubbles down his
notes in snntches, wasting no time In
weaving them together, whenever APP

PRETTY HORSEVHIPPHRS
Three Sisters Make a Fierce
Attack On a New York
Saloon Keeper
News By Wire.

NEW YORK, Dec. II, 1S92.-Three pretty
girls were arraigned before Justic Duffy
in the Essex Market Police Court today,
charged with having horse-whipped
Liquor Dealer Joseph T. TannenholZ,
whose place of business is at No. 2
Orchard street.
The prisoners were Sarah. Rebscca and
Pauline Fellerman. respectively 81, 20
and 10 years of age. They live with their
parents at No. 80 Market street.
Seven months ago Tannenholz pur-
chased the liquor store ftom the father
Of the girls. Since then bad
them. Barnard Gluck. "a jewelry clerk,
twenty-one years of age, living at No.
430 Henry street. informed the three
sisters that Tannenholz was talking dis
paragingly about them.
Gluck said that he called on Tannen-
hoiz and warned him that unless he re-
tracted what he had said about the girls
he would be horsewhjpped.
II know them TO be respectable girls, !"
said Tannerholz, "and l have nothing to
rerract."
Shortly after seven O'Clock last
night Tannenberg, Joseph Diver. a
son of Police Justice Diver. and
Alderman Philip Benjamin, were walk
ing along Division street. They We're
confronted by the Fellerman sisters, and
Pauline, turning to Tannenholz, said:
"Now. I'll give it to you."
At the same moment she drew large
horsewhiD and laid it on with all her
might on Tannenholz, young Diver and
Benjamin. The two other sisters had
whips under their cloaks, but were too
frightened to use them.
When Tannenholz recovered himself,
he snatched The whip from Pauline's
hand. but not until after a desperate
struggle.
Policeman Beck of the Eleventh pre-
cinct came along, and also got share of
the whipping in attempting to separate
the two. The three sisters were arrested,
and were locked up for two hours before
Cartain Cross accepted 1000 bail for
each to appear in court to answer to the
charge.
Tannenholz told Justice Duffy that the
trouble was all caused by Giuck, who
endeavored to make himself solid with
the girls by alleging that he had called
them bad names.
81 know them to be honest and respect
able" said TannenholZ, land / have al
ways said So Gluck. who is the mischief
maker In this matter. is not telling the
truth when he states that / called them
anything else"
The sisters said that their anger was
caused by Gluck, who informed them of
what Tannenholz is alleged to have
said.
Gluck was in court today, and he testi-
fled that he heard Tannenholz make the
remark which is alleged to have caused
all the trouble.
Tannenholz said he did not desire to
press the charge against the girls, but
wanted them placed under bonds so that
they would not repeat the experiment
Justice Duffy told the girls that they
did wrong in taking the law into their
own hands, held them in default of 500
pail to Keep the peace for a year, and
paroled them in the custody of their
lawyer, Mark Aller.
