Old THE SPLIT ON THE Street
Ward Man Cook illustrates the
Ofense Before the Court
Then Justice Hogan Told the Girls
They Ought to Be Whipped.

Nellie Pratt and Madeline La Bouette,
two little girls in blue, were arraigned
before Justice Hogan, in the jefferson
Market Police Court, this morning,
charged by Ward Man Cook, of the
West Thirtieth street station, with dis
orderly conduct.
The specific accusation against them
Is dancing in the street. They call 1t a
skirt dance, and Cook calls 1t a split
dance. Unfortunately for the girls, they
chose the corner of Sixth avenue and
Twenty-seventh street, the heart Of
the Tenderloin district, and the time 8
o'clock last night.
Nellie is a pretty girl of seventeen,
who lives with her parents at 1871 West
Twenty-seventh street, and Madeline is
an overgrown belle of fourteen years.
SO she says, although she looks older.
who also lives with her parents next
door to Nellie's house.
The girls went out last night with j.
F. Arnold. youthful variety actor. who
lives at 2O4 East Eleventh street.
1t does not appear hat they had been
drinking, and their public demonstration
can only be attributed to exuberance of
spirits. When Cook came up with them
the two girls were giving a lively imlta-
ton of Nini-pate-en-l'air, executing la
grande ecarte. as the split Is technically
termed, and performing some high kick
ing with Arnold's hat for a target.
Cook gathered the party in. Nellie was
bailed out Madeline went to the Gerry
Society and Arnold languished in Capt.
Schmittberger' booby-hatch all night.
In stating his complaint this morning,
Cook said solemnly: II found these girls
doing q split dance IN the street last
night"
Justice Hogan's white brows drew to-
gether, and he asked, with great SIM
pliclty: What is a split dancer"
Cook explained it with his fingers
upon the tribunal.
"Ah, sea," exclaimed the Judge. and
then turning awfully upon the girls, he
said: you are accused of the serious
offerse Of dancing In the street a dance
that involves posture In which your
limbs are differentiated in a horizontal
position. What have you to say?"
The gilrs admitted everything. and
begged to be let go.

the Count to join her.
After that they sat there whenever
they were alone together.
So II was that. seated on a divan op-
rosie the long window, the Princess
saw kneeling before her him who was
not yet her lover, but TO whom she felt
already that she entirely belonged.
"Ah, my life, how l love YOU" he
was saying.
His arms were about her. Drawing
her closer TO him, he sought her lips.
She was uneasy, and made as II she
would release herself. when, suddenly
conquered by the convulsion which rent
her heart, she closed her eyes, and her
lips metz his.
Yam Barsouck watched Before those
two young creatures, wrapped In an
ecstasy of love, he smiled.
This love, what was II? A pit into which
man led woman. and she ran TO II blind

GRlPMtA LOST THEIR NERVE.
Panic-Stricken When Aroused
from Sleep by a Fire.
Fifty Barrels of Whiskey Saved
with Much Difficulty.

somnhing like panic was caused this
morning by fire which broke out In
the boarding house sS5 East Ninety
seventh street about 1 o'clock. Nearly
all the boarders were asleep at the time.
and in the hurry to get out they got
jammed In the passage-ways. 1t required
the hardest kind OF work on the part OF
two policemen to restore order.
At one time II looked as IL the entire
block would be burned down, as on one
of the floors fifty barrels of whiskey were
stored. The fremen bent their energies
to keep the flames from reaching the
whiskey, and succeeded in stopping the
blaze when 1t had got within two feet
OF the barrels.
Had any one of the latter exploded 1t
was the opinion of the firemen that one
OF the biggest fires OF the year would
have been the result.
The blaze was caused by an overheated
oven on the ground floor. which Is used
by J. W. O'Connor as bakery. Instead
OF being u baker by trade, O'Connor Is
scattered about the city. He started the
bakeshop in order to sell the bread IN

his huntsman. in whose features no
other sentiment was discernible save
that Of servile obedience. He continued:

Prince Horostienko's estates. They left
him TO grow up In the courtyard among
the servants and grooms. For his daily
nourishment he depended upon the char

At sixteen he had made bow, with

fifteen lashes, after which he was sent
to the head huntsman. with orders that

Yam retained an agreeable remem-
brance of his masters clemency. He
wished to show that he was grateful.
