the desk sergeant. Zimmerman went down
deep into the inside of his trousers leg and
from some secret recess brought forth a
dirty handkerchief, which. whe n spread out

See here, Zimmerman" inquired the
court, how do you come by this money!"
''I've got wealthy relatives in Germany,
may III please the, court" explained Zim-
norman, with an air that would have done
credit to Old Hoss Hoey in his Monte Carlo
act, and they send me remittaDces-"
why do you live this way?" asked the
judge. You've got money enough to live
decently. What's your object in sleeping
in the woods"
Personal idiosyncracy, your honor" J" said
Zimmerman, suavely. Il like to live in
close communion with nature. 1 eat at the
Central Union Mission and sleep in the
woods, partly as measure of economy and
partly as matter of preference"
Il have my own idea of where that
money comes FROM" said the judge, but
there is no evidence against this man. How
ever. the moDeyis not an excuse for his mode
of life. In fact, it makes him a more sus-
picious'person, and he can go TO the farmfor

Herbert,s Deserved Compliment,

A graceful bit Of professional courtesy
occurred recently regarding the production
Of Victor Herbert's opera, 1.-The Wizard
of the Nile in Vienna this fall The
first instance on record of comic opera
by an American Composer being translated
into German for presentation in n foreign
country hads been watched with great
interest and considerable doubt. The
temerity in choosing for that production
the city which was the scene Of the
greatest triumphs Of Johann Strauss, Won
Suppe and Millo6cker was looked upon
as more than daring. The fact that it
has proven the prominent success of the
operatic season there, is pleasantly en-
phasized by Il dispatch of congratuIa-
ton from Johann Strauss, the '.waItZ
king" to his American contemporary,
Victor Herbert, acknowledging the hit m ade
by his opera and prophesying that it is
the first of what will undoubtedly be
long series of similar successes.

perhaps. because the governmt mt then WAS
by mayor and council. The marshal served
the court S orders, boarded the prisoners
at the Jail, had charge OF public parks and
grounds, and acted as the chief execI-
lives body guard and master Of ceremonies
on state occasions.
AL this changed in great measure after
the sixties, and no District men were
appointed. In his first term Mr.. Clevc-
land appointed Hon. A. A. Wilson as
marshal, thus establishing a new preCe-
dent, and four years later reappoin'ed
Mr. Wilson to the same office
popular belief these days is that Mar
shall Wilson has the Presidents ear in his
possession, but this is a mistake. He Is
no nearer the head of the United States
household than any other official, and
is not SO often in the White House rs the
Cabinet officers.
Marshal wilson's term does not expire
till January, 1898, and he does not ex-
rect to resign or to be removed until his
time is out All talk to the contrary is
more or less bosh, even III 1t does appear
