the funny situations known to farce

galaxy of male I'M female talent care

A chorus OF pretty singing n dancing

Mrs. j. NJ. Kennedy. wife of Lieuten-

Montana infantry. yesterday received
the following telegram:
"San Francisco. Dec. Is. 1898. Mrs. ].
VI. Kennedy. Anaconda: Kennedy sick
at Honolulu. VIII be home for Christ
mas. CAPTAIN MURPHY"
This was exceedingly Joyful news for
Mrs. Kennedy and will be a source of
pleasure to all of Mr.. Kennedy's friends.
II was known that Mr.. Kennedy was
! sick at Manila. but just how serious his
illness was. of course was a matter of
conjecture. 1t would be a reasonable
inference from the language of Captain
Murpny's telegram, hat the lieutenant
was quAe seriously III and had to leave
his company at Manila. II Is supposed
that he came as far as Honolulu on a
trans-Pacifc liner and stopped there to
rest and to regain his health.
II is not known who Captain Muir

steamers plying between a Francisco

tenant Kennedy was a passenger on his
ship. Mr.. Kennedy doubtless instruct
ed Captain Murphy to SEND the above
telegram upon his arrival at San Fran
cisco. 1t Is clearly Mr.. Kennedy's in
tention to follow on the next steamer.
The telegram quoted o being The
only source of Information at hand. CT
course 1t mo be guessed whcther
any of the other boys will accompany
him home or not. II is to be earnestly
hoped that Lieutenant Kennedy may
bring back with him some Of his COM
rades in arms.
Whether he does, or whether ne
doesn't. Lieutenant Kennedy Is assured
of a royal welcome home again. If he
brings some OF the other boys back with
him. the homecoming VIII be just that
much grander. Coming bac at Christ
mas. too. as he does, the happiness a
the reunion will be enhanced a thou

N THE POLICE COURT
Dan Courtney Fined 500 for
Assault.
THE OTHER OFFENDERS
Sam Taylor, for Being q walking Ar
senal. wss Assessed elo Marie
s~uprenant Arrested for Street
walkine-A Few Others.

There was another big days business
in police court yesterday. The day
started off with the case against Dan
Courtney. charged with assault. Court
ney was arrested on Monday evening
by the police. He was accused Of nav
ing attempted TO carve another mar
with a knife. The trouble arose about
a game of pool in which Courtney was
loser. Courtney, in a drunken fury,
resented the defeatand followed the vic
tor to another saloon, where the attempt
was made TO stab him. On Tuesday
Courtney was arraigned. He decided to
take time to plead and was given until
10 o'clock yesterday morning. When
he was brought into court yesterday
morning he had evidently concluded
that the better way for him would be
to plead guilty. He entered his plea
accordingly and the court sentenced
him to pay a fin OF 500. Not being
provided with the necessary funds 10
liquidate the fine, he was sent below,
where he will remain for so days.
The police consider Courtney a dan
gerous man. He has been arrested a
NUMBER OF times anu mas ndu many
narrow escapes from severe punish
ment. He seems 10 have a handy way
Of using a knife when he gets drunk.
The next number on Judge Fitzg er-
AIDS programme was the case against
Fay Templeton. a woman OF the W
Fay was arrested on Monday charged
with robbing Gus Olson of $40. The
prosecution came to the conclusion that
there was not sufficient evidence to pro-
coed against her on that charge. so ;he
charge was reduced to running a house
Of prostitution. Fay didn't know
whether to plead guilty or not guilty
at first and took until yesterday morn
ing to think IL over. When she was ar
raigned yesterday morning she pleaded
guilty and was fined SO.
Sam Taylor was arrested yesterday
on Park avenue for carrying concealed
He was fined $40.
Marie %Superant, ar old-timer of the
half world. was also arrested. This
time the charge is that of street walk
ing. Her trial has not yet been had.
