This Device Il More Economical and Con-
venient Than the Present.
About the last thing that one would think
Of patsntins seems TO be a postage stamp,
but a bright Virginian has thought of that
and patented . device for one too. The
idea is simple enough. II 10 merely this:
Discontinue the manufacture Of stamps OF
an odd denomination and lot the oven de-
nomination-two-oent stamps. fer instance
-bs composed Of two small ons.osnt
stamps, perforated down the middle. with
the figure 2 over the perforated line. Then
you buy only two-csnt stamps. and whom
You want q ons-cent stamp separate . two.
The Two stamps as Q unit arc not a. large 40

With these stamps il 10 an ensy matter to
make the proper change. II will also prove
much moro economical to che government.
for IL will reduce tho contracts one-half.

Bullet Proof Uniforms.

Professor BillToth, the great Austrian

Doves invention Of a bullet proof uniform

would have been more satisfactory il the
inventor Of the jacket had been willing 10
wear It during the experiments and allow
himself to BE- shot at. Inasmuch ~ thick
iron platas are pierced by proiectiles at q
considerable distance. he does not think il
possible that any stitch of hemp can be in

Furthermore. the most of the injuries re-

JUSTICE JOHNS COURT.
There Were Drunks Of Every Sort, Shape,
Size and Description.

The great Monday docket had long
list of names yesterday. but there wasn't
very much variety in the way Of charges.
Sunday was lively day in police cir
cles, and a number OF jays were engaged
in.
Probably the victims were taking ad-
vantage Of the last few days before
Lent and were having one final ca
rousal before the tim, to settle down.
Strange how a great crowd OF spectators
congregate around the railing to witness
the COON OF their fellow men. There
Sc Ems to be sort OF fascination about
the proceedings. and there Is an element in
certain class of folks which delights
in being present when their fellow towns
man is undergoing the torture of trial
at His Honor's sanctum. Many of the
spectators have been there themselves.

poor victim. After the thrilling sentence
was pronounced he asked the Justice:

my boss? He'll furnish the security, I

Maggie Hatcher (colored) paid $3.50 for
drunkenness, and Lucinda Robinson (col-
oredl was similarly taxed for disorderly
conduct.
The fact that 'he character NJ William
Walker (coloreD was suspicious was the
cause of his giving security for sixty
DAYS.
James Washington (colored) assaulted
and wounded Samuel Savage with
billiard ball. II cost him $3.50.
The Justice touched Percy Smith and
Joseph Corners for $3.50 each for getting
drunk and fighting in the street
Joe Bailey (cclored) assaulted and beat
Mahala Hickman. He was fined $40 for
his ungalantry.

last. but not least. Jags. The Justice de-
clared that you could call for any kind OF a
drunk you wanted, ard II could be found
In the inventory. Why. the city flowed
with every kind Of beverage. and
giasses were tinkling all over Richmond.
But II WAS lucrative. More money fell
into the Golfers than during any week in
January. The Banker smiled with delight
when he counted his money and found
sl25. with several candidates yet to hear
from.
The big Sunday drunk was done by a
large and skillful cast. Among the clever
people who took part were William Lewis,
Theodore Hope (colored, Robert Reed
(colored), George Shackeford. Edward
Allen (coiored). A. s. Goode. Eliza Coles
(colored), Leonard Mansng. w. II. John
son. W. A. Whitman and Richard Bruner
Each OF these was touched for s. and
costs. Weekly DRINKS cost only 81. but
Sunday DRINKS cost IS. Don't get drunk
on Sunday.
Then the Saturday jag was pre-
scented. In this. too. large cast took part.
Some of them were Willie Hill tcolored),
William f. Freeman, John Spruei, Junius
Mccoy (colorcd), Frank Benson, George
Burton (coloredD. and John Patton. They
paid 81 each for being naughty.
The court will convene again to-day.
For aught | know there may be some
people up for sending comic valentines.
In all likelihood however, the docket will
be small, for a number OF the usual at
tendants have expressed their determine
ton to refrain from all the worldly gave
ties during the Lenten season.

This is Valentines DaY.

ST. Valentine day has come, and the
small boy will most likely ring your door
bell about dark. and remind you In his
sly way that there are a number OF peo-
pie In the world that hold you In slight
~ different opinion from that OF your
own.
But don't get angry II some one hides
his candor behind the fortress OF ami
mostly. People entertain these opinions,
and St. Valentines day simply gives them
an opportunity TO out with them. True
the act Of sending a comic valentine is
the height of bad taste. but If there was
no bad taste in the world there would be
no good taste-"comparison," as the
philosophers call II.
II you want TO have a little gayety be-
fore Lent this Is your chance Nearly
all Of the bona-fde gayety has ceased.
