ALCOHOL FIENDS
Thirteen of Them Takcn Into Custody
Last Night.

\ round bakers dozen OF alcohol fiends
were arrested last night and thrown into
the jug. Among tramps they are known
as white lime" men. Their title is de-
rived from the Kind of liquor they drink,
which is alcohol. This wnen diluted with
water becomes white like lime water,
hence they are called white lime'' men.
They are he worst specie Of tramps known
TO the police. They are utterly depraved
from the use OF alcohol. and nothing is
too disreputable for them to do. They
will steal, beg or sandbag to get money
to buy alcohol, and are dangerous
chaps to have hanging around. They
travel i'll gangs of about ten or dozen
and this is another reason why they are
dangerous. Their normal condition is
drunk, aud they not only fight among
themselves, but attack peaceful citizens
who may encounter them. Being strong
i'll number they always resist arrest un-
less there are enough policemen present to
overawe them. They are generally
brought in from the suburbs in the hood
lum wagon. The proper treatment for
''white lime" men is close confinement on
bread and water or else plenty of work on
the rock pile. They are tramps that are
not entitled to any compassion, for they
are yagabOndS by choice.

which she was given an ovation in the way
of applause and other manifestations OF
merited appreciation.
This closed the literary program and re-
freshments were then served to the large
audience present.
The whole affair was success in every
particular, the only thing lacking was the
absence of tie officers of the post aud the
presence of so few of the veterans.

TIE WHITAKER CASE.
Some Knotty Law Questions Involved in this
Contention.

Judge Reed has not yet given his decis-
ion in the Whitaker case. The court
spent two days hearing the attachment
and intervening petitions in :he case, the
title of which is John Whitaker against
Michael McEnDis. The case involves the
following questions:
Whether there was a partnership be-
tween Whitaker and McEnnis. Ii SO.
the right Of the court TO appoint receiver
and equitably distribute the assets.
There is large amount involved and
the case WAS hotly contested by Messrs.
Hume and Holmes for the receiver and
Whitaker and Messrs. Bently & Fergu-
son and Robertson for the attaching credi-
tors. 1t was contended on the part of
Messrs. Hume and Holmes that an insol
vent partnership can be placed in the
hands of a receiver and the assets distrib-
uted. The contention of the attorneys for
the creditors was that such actions would
be in violation of the general assignment
laws.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
MORRIsON's FAUST.

An attraction of which much has been
heard is Morrsou's famous production OF
Faust" THIS will be seen at Crawford S
Grand, Jan. IL and Is, matinee Is. The
presentation Is notable, aside from the eX-
cellence of the company, for its EN- ploy-
nent Of a series of stage effects. Electri-
city come into play throughout the pro-
duction. A cross startling into light by
the church wall daun,s the fiend amidst
the loudest boastings Flowers leap into
glowing blossoms in the scene where Mar
guerite gives herself to her lover. But it
Is in the Brockcn scene that the acme of
light effects" is attained. Fiery dragons
pass through the air, leaving train of
sparks behind, and a veritable cataract of
fire descends at the close between the un-
canny people of the Sabbat and their illu-
mined chef on the mountain peak above
The Morrison dramatization of Goethe
legend is ascribed to Mr.. Bayle Bernard of
London, and follows the original more
closely than other versions which have
been seen. The company Is carefully Sc
fected aud the engagement will undoubt-
eddy prove very large and profitable.

STOP THEFT STOP Thief!
Coroner McCollister Has an Exciting Chase
After Sneak Thief.

"What's the natter"
''Stop that man.
The first exclamation proceeded from
Johu d. Davis. who had plenty Of wind to
hurl the words out as fast as it was neces-
sary The second came from Coroner
McCollister who only had breath
enough left to repeat the words and they
fell off his tongue to the sidewalk, not an
arms length in advance.
ct o'clock last night the coroner came
down town to attend the installation of
the officers of the Sons of Veterans. like a
true soldier that he was, and thinking the
meeting was in the ball on Market street,
came down Main street as far as the alley
between Douglas avenue and Fisrt street.
Along in front of Cash Henderson's a
young man stopped Mac and begged the
loan of quarter to get a square meal.
Mac, not being millionaire, and having
gone out Of the loan business, didn't put
up. He told the mau that ne ought not to
be hungry, being strong and hearty and
having one more arm than he had, all OF
| which was very true, but that did't relieve
the gnawing appetite.
The two friends of few moments
parted, Mac continuing on south aud the
other going north. Meeting John Davis
at the alley they stopped to pass word
with each other, and Mac learned that It
| was Garfield hall he was seeking, so he
retraced his steps. X aching the Santa Fe
bakery Mac spied his impecunious friend,
with another of the same suit, coming
! down the street with a new pair Of boots
With detectives scent as keen as a
sleuth hound, Mac accosted him:
"Ah, there, where did you get those
boots?"
! The young mans attention was riveted
on something across the street, and once
more the coroner called in a sonorous
voice:
''Where d'you get those boots?"
That fetched him. He gave one glance
at his interlocutor, dropped his pickup
and sped down the street at gait that
would have filled Nancy Hanks eyes with
dust. Julius Caesars ghost, how the man
| flew, and Mac Just behind him, throwing
his one arm in the air like a one-armed
wind mill
When the fellow dropped the boots Mat
grabbed for him, but he missed his call
ing" and struck telephone pole. nearl,
| rending it. When the thief reached thu
alley where the coroner had stood two OF
three minutes before in full possession o.
all his faculties, and where he now stood
again bereft OF all them on account Of hi!
race he turned east aud WAS soon out o
sight. 1t was here that Mac was accostet
with what in Sam Hill is the NATTER
matter! Didn't you see that thief turE
down this alley"
"Thief. where! Who was it?"
''How do l know who he IS. He stole {
a pair of boots"
"Where are the boots?'
In Macs burning desire to catch his
former friend he had forgotten the booty
and failing to capture the thief he wen
back to capture the boots.
They were stolen from the city sho'
store and were returned
