A Small List of Prisoners In the
Dock.
Judge Scott mounted the bench promptly
at o'clock this morning and began his
second day as regular judge Of the Dis
trict branch Of the Police Court in a bust
ness-like manner. The situation was
brighter than was the case yesterday.
There were fewer prisoners in the dock.
the court room was by no means crowded
and out in the hallway Policeman Flynn
had no loose prisoners to deal with and
experienced no difficulty in maintaining
dress to the right, according to the new
tactics among those in waiting near the
doorway.

his honor for adjudication was John Ma

He was stone drunk last night on G

Quinlan. Further than that he has been
drunk and begging ever since he was last
released. In fact, he never does anything

John is perhaps the most diIapidated
specimen of humanity that ever faced a
judge In any court. And no doubt he is as
pugnacious as any.

"FREEDoM OF THE CITY."-The ex-
preston "freedom Of the city" is
relic of the old days when all cities
had walls and gates, and when the
keys of the city gates and of the cita-
del were presented on golden or silver
platters to visiting monarchs. The
presentation of the keys was a token
of surrender or submission, and kings
who visited cities in their own domin-
ions were always met outside of the
moat by the leading officials with the
keys in token Of the feslty of the
citizens. When monarchs visited each
other the presentation of the city keys
became a complimentary ceremony,
indicating that the city was just as
much at the service of the visitor as
though situated in his own dominions.
Within the last two centuries the cere-
mony has degenerated to an empty
form. General Grant, when visiting
London, was given the freedom of the
city, and in this case he was the city's
guest, but in most instances the saying
is a mere compliment.

~ Many years ago, a New England

s% Many years ago, New England
pastor, mindful of his duty to "reprove,
rebuke and exhort," gave out that on
the next Lord's-day he would take
the members of his flock individually
to account for their besetting sins.
The announcement drew, for, however
fearful for himself, each wished to hear
what his neighbor should get. The
deacon, whose weakness was too much
love for toddy, felt a premonition of
what awaited him, so fortified himself
with an extra potation before seeking
his pew, we'll up In front, and just be-
hind where the Judge sat. "Where is
the drunkard ?" thundered the speak
er. The deacon rose unsteadily to his
feet and stood to receive corrections.
"He h-here I am" he meekly respond
ed. The minister struck hard, and,
when it was over, the deacon sat
down, while expectation held its breath
once more. "Where is the hypocrite ?"
called the preacher. The hush was
painful, no one moving, until the dea.
con lifted his cane and vigorously
poked the Judge, saying aloud:
"S-s-stan' up, Squire, STAN up like
me, and hear what the parsons got to
say !"

He STILL PREAcHEs.-Two OF. three
months ago a Detroit lawyer was in
the northern counties on business, and
one night while he was staying at q
farmhouse two or three of the neigh
bors dropped in and one of them
explained:
"You see, we heard you was law
yer, and perhaps you wouldn't mind
giving US a little advice. We want to
get rid of him."
"What ails him ?"
"Well, he's good and kind and a
true Christian, but he's no preacher.
Fact is he's too slow for the times"
"Have you thrown out any hints P"
"Lot of 'em, but he still sticks"
"How much of a salary does he
get ?"
"Well, about 5000 per year."
"Reduce it to $50." =,
The advice was declared to be sound,
and in the course of three days the
minister was notified that his salary
would be reduced to the figures named.
When Sunday came he read the notice
from the pulpit, and added:
"My dear friends, this step was rem
dered necessary by the continued hard
times. I cheerfully accept the reduc-
ton, and in case it is found necessary
to make a further reduction of $25
don't hesitate on my account. I am
here to serve the Lord, and can do it
on one meal a day."

That was the proper way to do it, but
should never have thought Of it. No!
Had been alone I should have turned
back at this point, feeling that the diff
culties were too great for me to sur
mount. I handed Mary couple of
matches, made ready to open fire, and
she moved inside and struck light. AS
she held the blazing match up counted
eight men lying on heaps of brush and
leaves they had gathered for beds, and
right in the center of them, bound hand
and foot, was Captain Clark. He was
wide awake and raised his head to look
at Us.
I tefl you, and felt it to my shame,
though I stood guard and had the
guns to carry, Mary stepped right over
those sleeping men, cut the prisoners s
bonds with knife gave her, and then
helped him up and held him on his feet
until the blood circulated and he could
use his limbs. They came out hand in

him, and we made our way back to the

had been made to realize the desperate

of them were for killing him offhand,

ANECDOTE OF MINISTER WILLIS.

The death of Minister Willis in Ha'
waii has set Kentuckians to story-tell'
ing about him. One of them describes
an incideut illustrative of his method
of trying a lawsuit before jury. He
was once an attorney for young wo'
man in a case against prominent and
wealthy contractor of Louisville. The
case attracted much attention, and the
court room was crowded when the
trial was on. The contractor took the
stand, and being of an easy conscience
tried to swear the case out of court
Then Willis arose in behalf of the
young woman. He did not seek tc
cross-examine the witness. He turned
to the great crowd of spectators, and
at random singled out a man on the
front row.
"Stand up and get sworn where
you stand" said Willis to the astonish'
ed spectator.

"Do you know his reputation for
truth and veracity ?"
"Yes."
"Is it good or bad2"
"Bad."
"Would you believe him under

"No."
Then Willis called on another spec
tator to stand up and be sworn, with
similar results. Thus he called on
spectator after spectator at random

After few whispered words to Has
kell, who was to remain in the boat un-
til we returned or daylight came, I took
the lead, and we pushed into the woods
1t rained a little, and the wind was
gusty, and once under the trees it was
so dark that we had to feel our way. l
flattered myself that we were keeping a
true course, but at the end Of quarter
of an hour Mary suggested that we take
look at the compass. We got down
close to the ground and struck a match,
and, to my surprise, we were bearing
northwest instead Of due north. After
that we consulted the compass every
few minutes, but were good hour and
half making our way to the clearing.
We were within so feet Of the tents be-
fore we got sight Of the fires, which the
rain had almost extinguished. We crept
closer and listened, but not sound
came from the mutineers. Putting her
mouth close to my ear, Mary whispered /:
"Now, Ralph, you made out four
tents or shelters here. The captain is
certainly in one Of them. If any one
was on guard over him, there would be
better fire. We shall find him fast
bound in one of the rear shelters. Let
me take tho lead from this out, and re-
member, if we are surprised, we must
open fire Oh them and try and cut the
captains bonds and put a pistol in his
hands.
Would you believe that I, who had
planned the expedition and intended TO
20 alone and had taken the lead thus
far, should give way to a girl at the
most critical point and take second
place? And yet that is the very thing
I did. 1t seemed to be matter of
course. Iwont admit that l was fright
ened, but my nerves were strung up and
my heart humping away like a trip
hammer, and I'm sure I was the more
frustrated of the two. Mary moved to
the right, passed within ten feet of the
large tent, in which we heard the
sleepers snoring and signing, and pres
emily stopped before smaller one. The
sides were made Of brush, and the roof
was tarpaulin. Certain smells indicat-
ed that it was the cookhouse. When sat-
isfed on this point, we passed along to
the third structure. This was also q
rude affair, but there were men asleep
inside.
1t was so dark that when we stood il
the door and peered around we could
no. make out thing. There might be
half dozen men in there, and Captain
Clark might be one Of them, but how
were we to ascertain? My heart went
down like lump Of lead as 1 realized
the difficulties, and I whispered to
Mary:
"We have made the trip for nothing.
How are we to find the captain in the
darknessp"
"We must take some risks" she
whispered in reply. 81 am going to
strike match and have look. If we
raise an alarm, the first idea Of the men

crowd of them swarmed out of the for

better for being renowned or promi-

men, she will be prouder, not fonder;
as is often the case, she will not even
be proud. But give her love, appreci-

fee she would not make for his con-
tent and comfort. The man who loves
her we'll is her hero and king. No
less hero to her, though he is not to
any other; no less king, though his
only kingdom is her heart and home.
It is mans own fault if he is unhap-

It is a very exceptionable woman who

husband, and very exceptionable
one who will not be very disagreeable
if she finds herself willfully neglected.
