1T WAS VERY DULL
 IN POLICE COURT

IA moral wave mslxb have su1gel through the city on Tuesday for but six cases were docketed in the police court yesterday morning which mads Judge Feagin more than usually amiable and sent fitting through the active brain of Clerk Mingea visions of shaded creeks, moist comfort and catfish. It cannot be, however. that the thirty gallant, inteli- gent and upright patrolmen of the Magic City will fail to provide as heretofore the daily grist of whites and blacks for the legal mill, so Clerk Mingea nsed not fig ure on a vacation.
 Wes Madison a, black who has not yet been struck by the wave of Hanna pros pertty was convicted of the heinous of fense of being a tramp and fined $5.
 Ed Alexander, also of the cslored per suasion. paid $1 for assuming the illegal privilege of talking to a prisoner.
 Richard Kennsbrew. white man slightly red-mottled, was found guilty of assault and battery with a lock and wda have to be under lock and key nong enough to work out fine of $5.
 A black individual who styled him. self Lewis Gilbert was fined $13, in this case certainly an unlucky number, for vagrancy and divers offenses.

Pleasant Incidents of M. Faure's Visit 10 Peter
 hof Palace.

Paris Letter to the Lor1on Telegraph.
 M. Felix Faure is a keen sportsman n, and naturally he is beguiling his leisure at Havre by att nding "chasses" given In his honor by friends residing in tfe neighborhood. On tbe first day on whfl he went out shooting his host was M. Dubosq who has a fine estate in the vicinity of Etretat. The president Of sthe republic headed the Hist with nine teen hares, twenty-eigaht cartridges and seven other birds, which flhd fallen to his gun, ard these were duly packed and forwarded to Russia. This was done in consequence of a promise which M. F)e- lix Faure had gaalantay made to the erll- press during a dinner at Peterlof, when sport was being discussed, that the first game which he killed this season should be presented to her. We are hearing good deal, indeed, about the very friend ly and even Intimate terms on which the president of the republic stands with the imperial family, with the simplicity of whose mode of life he was quite charmed. An anecdote illustrates this in a very pleasing manner. On the even- ing of the grand illuminations M. Felix Faure might have been seen after din 1ner in one of tine saloons reserved espe- cially for the Tsar and Tsaritsa. with the little Grand Duchess Olga on his knee, chatting with the imperial couple, who were amusing themselves amid peais of laughter in making the do1ls which he iliad brought for the child come out with the words which they have been mechanically constituted to utter. Nicholas II. 1ounged cToss-legged on the floor, with the "poupees" around him, and so delighted was the little Grand Duchess Olga with them and the kind friend who had given them to her, that the empress at last had to tear her away in order to allow M. Felix Faure to wit ness the Examinations. Every day, it is added, the president of the republic paid special visit to the younger child, the baby grand duchess. The gifts pre- scented to the president of the republic in Russia have arrived at Favre. They were conveyed to France in fifteen huge cases on board the Suicouf, and were transferred from that cruiser at Cher bourg to the Epervier. which took them on to Havre. Each case was addressed to Monsieur le President de la Repub- lque," and was closed with padlocks and sealed.

loNDON'S DOG CEMETERY
Queer Inscriptions on Beautiful Stones No Race
 Prejudces.

From the Figaro.
 Near Victoria gate in Hyde Park there is an inclosure reserved as a burying ground for dogs. Life is always full of contrasts. On one side here we wa- ness the pleasures and the joys of life, and On the other we find the vanity of all existing things. That, at last. was the opinion of ths old keeper who brought me through the burying ground confided ito his care. The dog's grave digger is an honest fellow with a face marked with wrinkles. The place is about thirty metres in length and twen- ty in breadth, and granite and marble monuments with the names and char acterlstics of the departed are very. numerous. This respect for animals presents an unexpected aspect in which the touching is strangely mixed with the grotesque. There are about 200 tombs in the inclosune. The plots are given gratuisously. The stones and the in- scriptions are put up at the expense Of the biGeavsd families. Some of the in- scrptions are worthy of notice

 On another tombstone are the words: "Dear old Priny.'
 But real grief is silent or nearly so, ap@ the word "Jacob'' upon another marble slab doubtless covers heap of regrets.
 Further on thsre is anairer superb tomb, upon which the name of the dog IS inscribed in very small letters and that of the master in enormous letters. It is as follows: "Pompsii the fayorite dog of Miss Florence St. John." And

GOSSIP OF THE STREET
 AND HOTEL L0BBIES'

You can take the words of popular song and apply them aptly to almost any little incident" remarked Joe Golf. drummer. as he sat talking to Q crowd of chums.
 T was out from Memphis some time ago on the Mississippi. We were on a large boat, and ore that eour5 make pretty good time. In fact. 1t was during the high water and excursions were p5sn- tfful. Every boat had some kind of q band and one boat, small one, attract cd rrticular attention on account of it's spirited music. The small boat drew up close, as though to banter us for race. Both boats steamed up and skinned along at lively rate. Several males were travelled, and it was apparent that a race was being run. Pretty soon the little boat seemed to hesitate and tine big boat forged ahead. Some urchin on board had bright thought and suddenly began to hum fragments of The Girl Left Behind Me The band caught up the tune imme diately and the crowd en- joyed it immensely. A young lady sug- gested that the tune ba changed to We Never Speak as We Pass By and the boat pulled away to this strain while the musicians on the smaller one blew llrsti- ly: Say Au Revoir, But Not Good bye.'
 Suddenly the smam boat began to puff and run att terrific rate of speed. Every one was filled with disappo.ntm mt as it swept by while the band played. Oh, Don't Know You Amt so Warm Some jester remarked, with feigned se- rousness, He who laughs last. laughs best.' That man came near being mobbed."

 "There is no desire for war. The msre fact that prepara tions are being made on such a gigantic scale inspires dread. All the nations reIalize what a terrible catastrophe war with modern imple- ments would prove.

Tne incident has a Humorous side. however, and the representative is too kind to di- vulge names.
 The representative chanced to meet the office-seeker on the street one day and with some tim.dfty the disappointed man stopped and began a conversation, which drifted along in various channels for a few moments.

 The representative assented.
 "Just tell him am in bad fix finaD- cially and need some help"
 A friend to both parties came up, in vsted them to drink and all saunt into nearby saloon. Several rounds of drinks and the unlucky supplicant at the pie counter keph getting in better spirits, as we'll as more spirits.

Gravesend Results.

New York, Sept. 29-When the fourth the crowd stood aghast. The great Ben Brush, who could beat anybody's horse few days ago, and who was in the pink of condition then, had his colbrs lowered by two-year-old and lame one at that, and one that has not shown much of anything in this last race; So with the odds of 2 to 2 against Ben Brush it was not surprising that 40 to 1 could be get against Plaudit. PIaudit and Alice Gray made the running to the upper turn, when Dr. Catlett joined Plaudlt, And Alice Gray fell back to the rear. Then the two raced head and head into the stretch and down to the finish, when Ben Brush squeezed in be- tween them, Plaldit winning by head, with Ben Brush a head in front of Dr. Catlett. Summary:
