Nuisance cases. dull, dreary hearings. con
sumcd good deal of time in court, and
when they We're concluded the hearing
OF Mary L. Brown, Il colored woman, ar
rested for disordcrly conduct in Frecman's
alley by Policeman Carson, was long drawn
out because of the almost interminabie
questioning of her lawyer IN cross-eNamin-
ing the witnesses against her. This pro-
cedure aggravated Judge Kimbnll and at
last he made an objection. The attorney
had asked one Of the witnesses, for the
fourth time, whether there was any dis
order in Mary's house,
"oh, there's no question about that The
disorder was in the alley; that has been
proven" said the judge, looking very tired.
..Some time we have to ask these ques-
tions,'' said the lawyer, ito get at the
milk in the cocoanut.''
The judge expressed a desire that the
milk would soon begin to flow, and asked
Mary Bell what she knew about kie mat
ter.
Mary is a female who would rather oc-
cupy one hour on witness stand in the
presence of her envious neighbors ttan
spend a year in paradise.
She invariably prefaces her remarks by
stating: "I'Ze heab ter tell de own Laws
blessed troof, an ef l don't may l."
AT this point the judge just as invariably
interrupts. with i rap on his desk, and a
careful, whereupon Mary fishes from a
dirty yellow coat still dirtier cotton
handkerchief, wipes away some tears, and
siuks back against the rail, apparently y in n
state of mental and physical exhaustion.
After this performance had been gotten
through with, Judge Kimbail said briskly:
Now, Mary, speak up and tell me what
you know about this disorder. What
caused it,"

returned Mary briefly, and she closed her
lips tightly, as if wild horses could not
drag another syllable from her.
Two WHAT" demanded the court, not
understanding Mary's pronunciation.
Two bananas and husband" inter-
rupted Kendig.
"A nineteenth century version of the
fall of Adam and the APPLE" remarked
Prosecutor Pugh, who seemed to have
mixed up Sir Isaac Newton with Biblical
history.
'Youse Sees" went on Mary, speaking as
If she WIS threatened with lockjaw and
addressing herself to Clerk Lum Harper,
who saw nothing but the time being
consumed. and ever aud anon cast agon-
lied looks ut the clock, ''Mary's 'usband he

was, and the judge imposed a fine OF So.

BESIDES the procession OF youth and beauty
and color there is the excellent music fur

grand OrcheStrion, and, altogether, there is
plenty of diversion to MI n two or three
hours stay at the place. When the spec
tator is tired or looking at the merry scene

parlors luxuriously fitted up awaiting

Judge Kimball Thanksgiving Eve, on his
promise to try and keep sober, was again

A WORKHOUSE DRINK.
1t Is Administered to AlcohOlized
Buns and Is a Terror.

The ''bum's mixture is a diabolical
beverage indigenous to the Washington
workhousc. where it Is administered in alo-
pathic doses to new prisoners afflicted with
the alcoholic shakes and shivers.
Just what ingredients constitute the i'll
tasting stuff is mystery to all gave
the attending physician and druggist. 1t
is said, however, that its basis is bromide
OF potassium. Whisky-soaked buns and
Founders who have taken one dose OF the
nIixture-for there is no record of any vic
tim ever having asked for a second drink
OF it-declare that it is composed of equal
parts OF liquid electricity, capsicurn, ASA
foetida, valerian, birthstone, and bromide,
with dash OF ipecac.
OidtiIners who have been there before
prefer L. suffer out their debauch rather
than again tackle a bumper OF the bum S
mixture They know what il means VIII IN
Judge Kimtall views their quivering forms
in the prisoners dock and remarks:
THAT man is in bad way, but he Will
receive medicine down at the wcrkhouse"
One old fellow, who drank the diviis
own toa st, rs he expressed 1t, overa bump
er of the vile decOction, remarked that he
would rather take his turn with the Jams
single handed than to again look upon the
Kaleidoscope colors OF the solution.

ded. ."whenmy mind has becomealcoholical-
ly acTobatic, but in the future III do my

Another prisoner asked one of the at
tendants for "bracer up explaining that
he had been drinking 10 excess for several
weeks, and was in an awful condition as a
result.
THE attendant gave him a big drink of
the muscular mixture. and when he re-
turned to his feilow-prisoners with a
wry and wrinkled face, he suffered:
"Bboys, he d-difin't give me 'bracer up
but by gracious he did give me knocker

WAS WILD TO CUT THROATS
Isiah Washington Selected His Vie
tim and Three RazOrs.
So Many Witnesses Told Different
Stories I'm Court That the Case
Was Postponed.

Armed with three razors, Isiahl Wash
ington, colored YOUTH went to the house
OF Gertie Baker, a dusky belle OF PARIS
court northwest, on Thursday night, with
the avowed intention OF cutting her throat.
After entering the place lsiah flourished the
weapons, and seizing Gertrude. threw her
on a lounge and see-sawed one OF the
razors across her neck, within a short
distance of her flesh.
This was the substance OF a story re-
lated to Judge Miller in the police court
this morning by several colored witnesses.
Irene jackson declared that she sieZed the
weapon Isiah was holding over Gertie's
throat and took it from him. A young
man who was visiting the house denied
that Irene seized the weapon.
''While Isiah was pulin. it over Gertie's
neck lie testified, ''slIe borrowed it from
him to cut her corns, and he lent it to
her.
The witnesses, who had been separated,
told conflicting stories about the affair,
which caused 4 hailiff to remark that it
