MOUSE INTERRUPTS COURT.
Adjournment Taken to Allow Cat to

Pass Sentence.
- A mouse created a disturbance in the
court of special sessions in New York.
city the other day, and finally succeed
ed in bringing about a temporary adj
journment The courtroom is very
large and the mouse was very small,
but it succeeded in upsetting the
equilibrium of Presiding Justice Hol-
brook and Justice jerome.
The mouse was running about on the
cornice, 20 feet from the floor, when the
sharp eyes of presumptive pickpocket
fell upon it. He nudged his neighbor,
and the mouse soon became the cyno-
sure of all eyes in the audience. 1t ran
along the cornice until it was directly
over the head of Stenographer Vetitch.
There it pointed out the fact that jan
itors and charwomen were not what
they should be by kicking down ac-
cumulated dirt and dust on the head
and books of the stenographer.
Assistant District Attorney Mat
thews gravely asked that "Mr. Mouse
be arrested for contempt of court and
disturbing the peace" The audience
snickered, but the court pounded the
smiles away with a gavel. Then the
magistrates adjourned court and q cat
was turned loose in the courtroom.
Within five minutes she came into the
hallway with a choice morsel of. mouse
in her mouth.

Strange Conduct of a Big Dog on a
Chicago Train.

Chicago Train.
He gets ON the suburban train north
bound every day at Thirty-ninth street
end rides up to Randolph. He is only a
ST. Bernard dog, but all the passengers
who make the trip in the smoker have
learned to look upon him as a friend.
The dog is not as other dogs, for he is
very friendly fellow and always greets
every man in the car. He is the prop
erty of a well-known violinist, but he
is. on good terms with all who enter
the car to ride to the northern terminal.
Every day as the 1870 train steams
into the Thirty-ninth street station the
owner of the dog enters the smoking
car and seats himself. The dog is al
ways with him. As soon as the master
has taken his seat the dog begins his
daily parade up and down that car. He
stops for an instant before every man
and will not move until each has given
him a pat on the head. He makes the

she swallowed needles, small buttons
and nails. These failing, she turned her
attention, in an asylum to which she
had been taken, to larger objects-hair-
pins, steel pins and long nails. This
being also done in vain, she swallowed,
among other things, crochet needle,
pieces of glass, two teaspoons, a fork
and piece of iron.
On the surgeon asking how she could
swallow those rather bulky objects,
she answered quite calmly: "Oh, it is
quite easy with the handle first. You
will" she said, find whole store of
things in my stomach" In his operation
DIR. Fricker took out of his patients
stomach key about three inches long,
a silver teaspoon six inches long, a
plated teaspoon 5A inches long, a plated
fork eight inches long, two nails, one
2h inches and the other 31a inches, two
hairpins, ~ pieces of glass, an iron
hook about four inches in size, a steel
pin, nine needles, a piece of graphite, a
boot button, grapestone, two little
balls of tinfoil and crochet needle Az
inches long. Altogether there were re-
moved from the stomach 81 objects. The
operation was successful and the pa
tent was dismissed, cured.

New Invention That Wiu Straighten

Land o. Goshen!" exclaimed an old
colored man at Atlanta, Ga, the other
day, next ting we know dey1l make us
cullud folk ell white"
This old darby only expressed the sen.
timents of many of his fellows who
have seen the results of a wonderful
new invention which will mean so much
to the colored race, and especially the
proud and handsome feminine mem
bers of it.
This machine is nothing but an in
strument for Strengthening out the
kinks in a colored persons hair. There
are hundreds and thousands of colored
men and women who could not be told
from the aristocratic Cubans or South
Americans if it were not for that kinBy
hair.
The machine has two parts; one, a
steel comb, and the other a brass cyl
inder. There are between so and so
teeth to the comb, the ends of which
are rounded carefully, so that they
will not injure the hair. The comb is
fastened to the cylinder, which in turn
is filled with heated brass rod. The
comb and the cylinder act like pair of
shears.
The comb gathers up a mass of
kinliy hair, the hand presses the comb
and cylinder together, when 10! be-
hind the progress of the machine is
left not the twisted, knotted, ldnly hair
of the African negro, but plain, straight
locks. The colored bellies of Atlanta are
fastening to buy the machine, and the
inventor, Robert z. Rhodes, is likely to
make fortune out of it.

Rats in the ally back of No. ia Clark

entire circuit of the car and then re-
turns to his master and calmly seats
himself in the aisle.
He remains quiet uRtil another sta
ton is reached, when he watches to
see if any new passengers enter. In
every case when such happening is
noted the animal gets up and goes to
the new arrival for his customary pat.
He is fine-looking animal, and never
a man enters but he is ready and anx-
ious to extend the greeting the dog
seems to expect, if notexact. The mas
ter is generally buried in some paper
and pays but little attention to the
doings of the dog, but the other passen-
gers are always alive to the situation
and are pleased with the good nature
and friendliness of the dog.

The fox terrier belongs to c. Ray
mond, No. 90 Spruce street, but resides
in the brokers' Office of Charles Stout,
No. TIA Clark street. Some time since
it lost leg. Last week it was taken
to a maker of artificial HE'bs and a
cork leg ordered. The leg was put on,
and the fox terrier was the happiest
thing on the South side. The leg fits
perfectly, and is held in place by a
light harness.
The dog now seems able to run as
fast as ever, and recently the rats in the
alley, that since the accident have been
in the habit of playing tag with the
fox terrier, remained trembling in
their holes.
