There was somewhat of a sensational
case in city court this morning when John
Lemon was charged with di5ordoriy con-
duct.
John j. Morris testified that he resided
at No. 1O7 Scott street, and that he kept q
respectable house and would not allow any
liquor to be drank in the place. His wife
deposed that on last Sunday afternoon he
went into her kitchen and there attempted
to kiss May Cook, young girl who was
visiting at her house.
May Cook was an interesting witness
and stood the discrimination, by Mr..
Knowles, without Il falter she stated that
John offered to give her ring il she
would kiss him. He was attempting to
do so, when Mrs. Lemon appeared on the
scene and then she left the house.
Anton tcdance and his brother two
bright lads of ten and eleven years was on
Scott street, when Mrs. Morris called to
Lemon who was passing and that he went
into the house. The girls came along and
took the bicycle to the yard, the lads
called Lemon and he went into the house
through the yard
The court after hearing the evidence of
Lemon stated that it would give the bene-
fit Of the doubt to Lemon and dismissed
the case.

Tho increase of four pounds in the scale
of weights by the Jockey Club meets wit h
universal approval. In the future the
weight in races exclusively for 2-yeHr olds
will be l22 pounds instead of us pounds
while the weight exclusively for 3 or /
yrar-o ldS will be l26 pounds. The minimum
weight for any horse in any race was fixed
at 81 pounds, and the top weight in any
handicap shall not be less than l26 pounds.
Under the new conditions the Jockeys who
have been unable to ride owing to the
light weight in the stakes for 2-ycnr-old5

The Method Of Great Treatmsnt FOR Weak
ness Of Men. Which Cured Him After
Everything ELSE Failed.
Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There Is no let up to the mental
suffering day or night. Sleep is almost
impossible and under such q strain men
are scarcely responsible for what they do.
For years the writer rolled and tossed on
the troubled sea of sexual weakness until
1t was question whether he had not bet
ter take dose of poison and thus end all
his troubles. Butprovidcntial inspiration
came to his aid In the shape of com.
bination of medicines that not only com
pletely restored the general health, but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor, and he now declares
that any man who will take the trouble to
send his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free
Now when say free l mean absolutely
without cost, because want every weak
ened man to get the benefit OF my expert
enCe.
l am not philanthroplst nor do pose
as enthusiast, but there are thousands Of
men suffering the mental fortunes Of
weakened manhood who would BIO cured
at once could they but get such n remedy
rs tho one that cured me. Do not try to
study how l can afford to pay the few
portage stamps necessary to mail the
information, but send for it, and learn
that there arc few things on earth that
although they ost nothing to get they are
