New Kind Of "spIit'' Responsible.

Henry Delaney, who must be an
Irishman from France, for he speaks
the language of that country, monkeyd

Gently been introduced here, to con-
siderable degree, yesterday. Henry
really knows better but he cannot
think of 1t all the time and for that
reason he got obstreperous up on
Ticonic street. He made a little pande-
monium of his own and was enjoying
himself hugely until gathered in by a
fly cop who was onto his picnic. He
showed some fight but it availed moth
ing for he came down town and rested
under the old roof-tree that has
sheltered so many of his kind and 4
little later he was introduced to his
honor. Judge Shaw. who from sheer
kindness of heart only sent him down
to Andrews for 80 days.
Unfortunately for Joseph Williams,
he doesn't read newspapers and he was
deceived by our outward show of hos
itality. When questioned by Officer
Simpson, at the railroad station, at j
very early hour, Thursday morning
he declared that he had no regular
place of abode, that his occupation was
gone and he had not taken the trouble
to look after it of late. Simpson came
against a genuine hobo all right, and SC
run him in. Williams has regular
place of abode for the next 30 days.

Emery Cook is a Maine Central con-
ductor on a freight train. He is
pretty good fellow but he doesn't pass
hoboes. Emery arrived home Tuesday
night with a battle SCARED cOunte-
nance 1t was the result of violent con-
tact with a hobo who had tried to sneak
a ride on Emery's train. Cook had or
dered the gentleman off the train sew
eral times but for several stations he
showed UP between the cars. The last
time the weary William was put off the
train he was told in no uncertain terms
that it would be best for him to remain
off. The hobo "sassed' Cook and dared
him to come down off the car and
fight. Cook came down. He wears
spectacles and as they are bad to go
into conflict with he put up his hands
to remove them. While in the act the
hobo gave him a left arm hook which
landed on Cooks mouth. The blow
cut had cash in Cooks lip. Now no
Maine Central Railroad conductor, with
any self respect. will allow himself to be
mutilated to any great degree without
resenting it. About three minutes after
Emery got his specs" off there was
the worst looking hobo along the whole
line in that vicinity. The hobo knew
when he got enough but he knew it
long before Emery felt satisfied that
the gentleman was speaking from ex-

we have told you that before, but in or
der to satisfy you that we are speaking
the truth we want to add to the evil

prosperous, populouS and progressive
burgh has produced two eminent fac

battle for fame that have scored their
first grand success. The production of

for the second time was something of
which we are proud. The first night
was good, but last night was much bet

like professionals, and the piece went
through the scores in a polished way
and clinched the grip that it took on
