HE WAS EVERYTHING.

It is not often that a county con-
stable is proprietor, manager and au-
dience Of a public show, but that dis
tinction was enjoyed by Constable
David w. Hughes, a night or two ago.
A company performing at Union Park
got in financial straits and Constable
Hughes went out there with Constable
Windish to help him seize the effects
on sundry writs Of foreign attachment.
Il was almost time for the performance
to begin. and the eonstables, having
laid their attachments, had nothing
more TO do. Constable Hughes walked
around in front CT the stage just as the
curtain went up. lie was the only per-
son there besides the members OF the
orchestra. A pretty girl came out and
gave song and dance, looking her au-
dience straight in the eyes and almost
turning his head. When she had con-
cluded he gave her such hearty a.
plause that she came out again and
sang once more for him, just the same
as though the plaudits came from thou
sands instead of one man, who had
come out there to seize their proper
ties. The next performer was man.
Constable Hughes applauded him
heartily, too, but he failed to respond
10 the encore. Then the constable, not
liking to be the sole person in the au-
dience, and, at the same time, not car
ing to leave the performers without
anyone to encourage them, began seek
ing an avenue Of graceful escape; Look
ing down towards the entrance he be-
held a thin, careworn woman, carry
ing a small baby, coming towards the
auditorium. Waiting until she was seat
ed he beat a retreat and left the play
ers to her tender mercies.

Therell be horses, yachts and collarl
Named for triumph after you;
You'll be wildly sung and honored,
You'll be patted on the back
II a Briton, you would surely
BE the Duke OF Merrimac.
You will sail right on to glory,
As you sailed across the mines,
For your Spartan spunk already

As a hero you'll forever
Take the "peaCherno" yam,
You're a dandy and a daisy.
And the pride Of Uncle Sam.

And the pride Of Uncle Sam.

greeted him at the depot, and sup
piled him with a generous dona-

put him in fit condition to make
the fight of his life in Uncle Sans
defense. The soldiers ran into a

speed of the train the men owe
their lives. AS the last tourist
sleeper passed over a small COW

but before it came to a stop a
guard rail caught the rear truck of
the sleeper and threw it on the

BALLERINo OBJECTS
He Will Contest the Proposed Opening
of Tenth Street

OF TeuCn street
Bartolo Ballerino is again protestant be-
fore the city council. He came out so mag
ni6cently well in his fight against paying the
assessment in the opening of Hoover street,
from Sixth to Pico, that he has evidently
decided protests to be profitable. In that
proceeding, his assessments amounted to
over $4,000 and after protesting against it,
be quietly ignored the whole matter and the
assessment was duly advertised for sale us
lien on the property. Time and time
again the date Of the sale was set but no bid
des could be found.
Finally the city decided to itself buy the
lien and preparatory to such action, the city
attorney was instructed to examine the rec
ords to see that there was no flaw in the
proceedings. To make long story short,
fatal error in the commissioners description
OF Ballerino's property was discovered and
the council was forced to abandon the I'M
provement, thus permitting the protestant
to win his fight, at least temporarily.
Probably hoping for a repititon of this
good luck, Ballerino now comes forward
with kick against the extension of Tenth
street from the west patent boundary CT
the city to Western avenue, and the report
of the commissioners therein. He alleges
that the assessment is not only unlawful and
void but is also grossly unfair in that he is
allowed rate of only $500 per acre for the
land taken from him whereas it is worth
in excess of $4,000 per acre. Protestant fur
ther contends that he is also damaged in the
cutting of his land in two and no allowance
is made for such damage.
