blonde young man, who showed them every
attention. They were Miss Fanny Everett,
Miss C;urie Fulton and X Ray HXley. we'll
known vaudeville artists who are now
playing in this city. The actors were sight,
seeing and getting material for a police
court sketch act.
Miss Everett is large anG stately beauty,

He seated the three theatrical people in
side the rail, where they remained attentive
spectators all duringthe performance. Their
presence even attracted the attention OF
his homer, and he abstractly gazed at them
at intervals during the session.
AS for Mike. every five or ten minutes
he would iIp'oc to their chairs and wills
per Suggestions to Miss Everett. who ac
copied them with extreme good-nature.
She told Mike she was disappointed at
not seeing more prisoners in the dock, AMI
wanted to know if such condition of af-
fairs always existed.

i LIGHT DOCKET.
L, was a very light matinee performance,
as the Judge had only three prisoners in the
dock.
The first was Alexander Campbell, the
driver of a butcher wagon, who sorecklessiy
drove as TO collide with the team of f. c.
Davis, a milkman. The judge fined him
500, and the fine would not have been SO
severe mad it not been for the statement
Campbell made.
Davis swore, and swore positively, that
Campbell deliberately ran into nim as he
was driving up tie Avenue, near the Phila-
p-b a. had lust served
some milk.
payistold the court he was going west, as
also was Campbell. Several other wit
nesses corroboratcd him, and to the surprise
OF everybody Campbell when on the stand,
swore directly opposite. He said he was
going ca st, and not west, as had been stated.
Judge Kinban became very much irri-
tated and sad, coldly: "Do you expect me
tn believe you in the face of all this other
testimony? They say you were going
toward tie Treasury. Be careful, Sic, or
YOU will commit perjury"
lie was gcin' to the Treasury" per-
sisted the defendant, IAN l was goin' to
the Capitol"

..or will send you to the grand jury. You
are perjuring yourself every moment"
C,mubelI Continued TO maintain his stand,
aud exasperated TIE judge exceedingly
II warn you again." said his honor, that
Won had better keep silent, or you VIII
commit a penitentiary offense."
Campbell at last realized his position and
shut up.
The Judge made the fine $50, and it was
CampbclI's action that caused the penalty
to be so heavy.
