Judge Kimball was assisted in his daily
performance, Sundays excepted, this morn
ing ny fifteen criminal artists more or less
talented. Five members of the support
were females. The company was mixed as
to color, too.
Inc roles played were heavy or light
as The character of the drama of life re-

play silent parts.

Hutchinson is careful officer. He
placed the charge of vagraDcy against Nc.
Dermott and told the court, when the bailiff
gave him his cue to speak, that the prisoner
louDged around the saloon, and, in the
opinion of the policeman, he should be
judicially reprimaDded.
McDernott came up as the policeman
finished his lines. He is a nice-looking
and carried cane. He linped.
McDermott works for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and said that he was at
labor twelve hours u day. If his words
were not truthful then McDermott is a
better actor than most of those that play
on Judge Kimbalrs stage.
THE LAW AS TO LoAFERs.
The judge addressed the players: 'It
is Illegal to haDg around barrooms," said
he "A man cannot makeit loafing place,
The law permits man to enter barroom
and get drink, but he must not loiter
around here. 1t is Illegal. The defendant
b dismissed"
A man whose name was not on The pro-
gram bounded down TO the footlights with
white stone as large as a double goose
egg in his hand.
"Those boys threw this and more like it
at me- sang he, as he dramatically pointed
TO two colored boys standing in the flies
of the dock. The names OF the boys were
David Moore and Fred Morgan.
Morgan said he was guilty, but Moore
knew he was not. Both boys agreed that
the white man owed them So. They
naturally wanted to collect it before a
change was made in the country's currency
system. Moore didn't throw any stones,
and the judge discharged him.
Morgan did let rock slip from his hand,
however, and it fell dangerously close to
the mans head. Fred will be found Cd
the farm fifteen days from now.

Benjamin Morris is a foreigner. He
talksin broken tongue. Benjamin W. orked

Then he went 10 Garfield Hospital. After

'IIow will you go?''
81 will walk. by rail-" said the venerable
BENJAMIN, with the instinct of a true Thes-
plan.
II will take your personal bonds" an
swered the Judge.
A more serious bit Of the drama followed
when Charles b. Hemingway. a respectable
looking and nicely dressed citizen. was
confronted by two policemen for interfer-
ing with N officer W bile making an arrest.
The officers were E. Anderson and Will
lam Riley. They told the court that they
were in the act of arresting a man for a
petty offense. when Mr.. Hemingway step
ped forward and protested against the ar
rest. The policemen said they told him to
keen a way. but lie was slow about doing 1t.
81 told him he had better attend to his
own business said one policeman.
Mr.. Hemingway admitted that he came
up to the officers, but denied he told
them not to make an arrest.
"I told the prisoner, though, that I
thought he would get off all right If he
told the Judge the plain facts In the case"
said the defendant. "When they told me
to move away did so, and stepped over
to the side of the pavement. While I
waited there one ofthe policemen came over
and placed me under arrest"
"Riots have been caused by Just such
actions,' said Judge Kimbail 81 don't
believe the defendant intended to really in
terfere, but it was a thoughtless thing to
do. Under the circumstances I will dis
charge Mr.. Hemingway"
