CITY COURT CASES.

Judge COwelI and the New Police
 Court Officials Act For the First Time
 This Morning
 The new Waterbury city court opened this morning and Judge Cowell took the seat which he has not occupied for two years. Prosecuting Attorney Webster simply changed seats while Attorney Bron- son sat in Attorney Webster's old seat as clerk. It was noticed that the prisoners in the box breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Judge lowell take the bench. Some of them had seen him before and they knew his justice was tempered with mercy to large degree
 John Hofan for drunkenness was fined $5 and costs.
 Oficer Claffsy strolled down towards the horse burying ground yesterday and found that several young fellows were making too free with a young woman who was under the influence of drink. He charged on the crowd The men escaped, but the woman was captured. She pleaded guilty to charges of drunkenness and la civious carriage. Chief ESan said that the woman had been an inmate of the Gate house and hillside. Her name given was Lottie Price. She was fined s and costs for drunkenness and $7 and costs for las civious carriage.
 OuuSc 4IOWc Wdnteu tue Lue CASe OA OoAh Laviano. charged with assault on his wife, adjourned Attorney Webster objected on the ground that the man was arrested Sat urdAy night and the officer interested in the case was on night duty and it was a hardship to make him lose his rest. Judge Cowell decided to hear Officer Noonan's testimony. The latter said that a stepson of the man came to him and told him his stepfather was abusing his mother. He went to the house and found that the, woman had marks on her face. She ac-, cused her husband of doing it and the off, cer arrested him. Tho case was then ad- | journed until tomorrow.
 Dora Rumrill, we'll known to the police. pleaded guilty to drunkenness, but de- nied being guilty of lascivious carriage. | Tony Esimo was charged with the same offenses. Tony, a swarthy Italian. with a heavy black mustache and apparently over thirty years of age. said he was fifteen, going on sixteen years. Even the court had to join in the laugh with the specta- tors. He stuck to the age, however. Officers Noonan and Allen said the neigh bors near Emerald street had complained of the actions of young woman and sew | eral Italians in the woods near there. The two officers went to the scene and found the oman surrounded by Italians They all ran, but Tony and Dora were caught. As there was no proof of lasclv- ious carriage Attorney Webster asked for adjournment until tomorrow. to bring in some of the neighbors to prove a breach of the peace. The case was adjourned un- til tomorrow under Sl00 bonds each.

"Humanity." which w. A. Brady is to produce here Tuesday evening. is said to be play to take the popular fancy and hold it. being full of life and struggles, It deals with war. but not the noisy sort, the scenes being represented III war tableaux. Through it all runs a stream of treachery and vindictiveness in the relations of one man to his fellows. In two of the acts the scenes are laid in South Africa, an entirely new field for the dramatic writer. In the first act there is & fox hunting scene said to be very picturesque. The second pre- sents the ruins of an old abbey. and in the third is a broadsword combat on horse back.

MES. MILEATH.

plucky rider may MlsS. ILEArH. pedal a bicycle entirely around the earth. The woman globe girCllcr has not thus far proved her right to the title by riding the necessary 25, 900 miles. Miss Annie Lon dondorry is now completing an alleged bi- cycle ride around tho world, but has made such astounding time through Europe and Asia that her riding must have been done on steamers and railroads.
 Mrs. McIlrath, however, feels certain that she can actually ride tho cntirc dis tancc on her bicycle and be as much in cNi- dence at the finish as her husband. Shc is a brunette, . feet inches tall. She has always lived a quiet home life, and prior to her marriage two years ago claimed De- l fiahce, O., as her home. To her the result of the trip seems but n fur,gOne conclusion. Like Mrs. Corbett, the wifo of Champion James, she knows her husband will win" Her strength and endurance must not be undcrcstimated because of her di- minutive stature, as for two months Mrs. McIlrath has accompanied her husband upon a daily ride of from 30 to 60 miles in all kinds of weather and over all grades of road.
 Mfr. McIlrath is of athletic physique, 6 feet in height and weighs about 160 pounds. The love of athletics and field sports ho bears is honestly borne, as the birthplace of this gentleman was the old McIlrath homestead. Cleveland, well known to all Ohioans as the homo of Un- cle Abner and his seven 6 foot sons. Un- cle Abner was n giant in stature, feet inches, 260 pounds in weight and has been known to lift over LOGO pounds without harness or appliance and yet sufficiently agile to vault over an ordinary horse. An indefatigable fox hunter and cross country rider he was well known to all in the early days of Cleveland.
 His grandson in choosing vocation to pursue in life selected that of a physician, but after three years of hard study driftcd into tho journalistic field, and as a cyclist and journalist now is confident that the blending of the physical and mental train ing of the past six years will serve him we'll in this the great effort of his life. He Is an expert road rider, has an excellent physical development and Is 3l years of age. His tour is being made under the auspices of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
