lice Court Runs Itself
Judge Hine served notice on the
health department yesterday that he
was conducting the police court and
not the health inspectors.
The matter came up over the ar
raignment of Mrs. M. B. Miller and
Andrew Conner for contempt of court.
Both defendants had been arrested on
warrants charging them with violating
the health ordinance by not having
vaults cleaned
They were released on their own
recognizance and ordered to appear last
Saturday, the understanding being that
In the meantime the work would he
done.
They did not appear in court Satur-
day, and bench warrants were issued
for them. When arraigned yesterday
both defendants stated that they had
been told by health commissioner
that the work having been done there
was no need of their coming to court
again.
Judge Hine dismissed the case of
contempt and also struck from the tab
all the pending cases where the health
department was the complaining wit
ness. Judge Hine Informed the health
inspector that, If it was necessary, the
cases could be brought over again.

A Joke on a Chicago Doctor,

DR.. Charles GatchelL, of Chicago, 70
not telling this story. The reason is
that he is too deeply concerned. But
the story is a true one.
DR.. Gatchell is a bachelor, and for
| that reason his embarrassment il
| greater than it otherwise would be.
| When he and other members of the
medical profession started from Chi
cago to attend the national homoe-
| pathic convention in Omaha, they oc-
| cupied a sleeper. DR.. Gatchell was
| assigned to lower six, and being tired,
| retired at an early hour. When the
train arrived at Galesburg the car was
/ set out to wait for a train following.
| some of the physicians desiring to go
later from Galesburg.
That evening there vas a wedding
in high life at Galesburg, and Of
| course the usual amount of ribbon dec
| Grating and rice throwing. Some Of
| the bridal party ascertained that the
contracting parties had engaged Sec
ton six in a sleeper, and they deter
| mined to decorate it up. BY mistake
they got into the wrong car. DR..
Gatchell was peacefully sleeping and
| alone in the car. The decorators set
to work, and in a short space Of time
had the section nicely decorated with
| ribbons and flowers. Then they hid to
await the coming of the groom and
bride, first sending out a spy to report
their arrival.
Presently the spy sneaked out and
reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Blanke
were in their car, which was down
the track a short distance. But the
decorators knew nothing of this. They
rushed into the car they had first Wis
tied, pulled the curtains of section six
aside, and before the astonished doc
tor could protest he found himself bur-
led beneath an avalanche of rice, old
shoes and flowers.
When DR.. Gatchell recovered from
the awful shock to his bachelor nerves
he began to talk. He talked earnestly
and well, but the merry crowd fled
before he could finish his rather tor
rid speech.-The Omaha World-Her-

SAN j." oSSF0R1IFICATIONS
MORO Castle Dates From the Time of Ponce
De Leon.

In the Century there is a richly H.
Illustrated article on 1.-THE Island OF
Porto Rico" written by Mr.. Frederick
A. Ober. Writing of the Notifications
of San Juan, Mr.. ODER says:
MORO Castle dates from Ponce de
| Icons time, but the Moro as 1t
| stands to-day was completed in 1884.
The faro stands here, with a tirst-class
| light. and within the Morro'S walls
are buildings of a small military town
quarters for troops, a cAapel, bake
house, and guard-room, with dungeons
down by the sea and underneath. This
is the citadel, the initial point Of the
line Of decentralization, composed of
connected bestions, castles, and fort
alezas, running from west to east, to
the Castle San Cristobal, thence north
to the ocean.
The oldest portion Of the line is at
the southwest angle, and is called the
'Fortaleza," the platform of which
supports the captain-generafS palace,
and was built in 1910. The 'sea-wall
to the north is pierced by the gateway
of San Juan, which affords entrance to
the glacis of San Felipe del Moro, be-
tween the palace and semi-bastion Of
San Augustine. Turning southwardly
from the FortaleZa, we note the bas-
ton Of La Palma, and the semi-bastion
Of San Justo, in the curtain between
which two is the arched entrance from
the Marina, or outside ward, to the in
tramural city, and known as the
Puerta de Espana. Beyond it, to the
east, are the bastions Of San Pedro
and Santiago, the latter In the east
ern wall, the middle part of which is
pierced by the landward gate called
the Puerta de Santiago, protected by
a rayelin of the same name. The fort
ress San Cristobal, though sometimes
called a castle, is in reality an ampli-
fcation Of the Notifications facing
east, or landward, and extends from
the bay on the south northward to the
ocean.
These Notifications in their present
shape were projected in 1880, and vir-
tually finished between 1885 and 1641;
but San Cristobal and the outworks
were not completed until the compar-
atively modern date of III. The east
ern advanced works consist Of two
lines of batteries, protected by a deep
moat; Of the small fort at San An
tonic at the bridge of that name; and
at the extreme eastern end Of the islet
a still smaller fort, San Geronimo,
which defends the bridge Of Boqueron.

From Santiago Via London.

A member of the House of Com
mons, who has two nephews who are
engineers in the American Navy, is e
ceiving from the fleets a correspond
ence which would awake the envy of
many newspapers. Their descriptions
illustrate the readiness and efficiency
of the American Navy. One of his
correspondents relates that in one of
the bombardments of Moro Castle
n Of the guns Of one of the Ameri-
can ships was put out Of action by a
shell from the forts. Immediately all
the chief engineers were summoned
from the whole fleet by signal, and
were brought aboard this ship to give
advice as to the gun. They. all looked
at the gun and examined her dam
aged machinery, and the result of their
combined wits was that in half an
hour the gun was back in action, as
sound as ever!-London Chronicle.

IN THE LAMB
By Victor Grey

Through the lane the setting edHngnt
Falls in misty, golden showers,
Uniting with its shimmering lances
All the little, nodding flowers,
Shining mid the emerald foliage,
Where the brides, blithely singing,
Fill the woodlands all about us
With a sweet and joyous ringing.
Don't you love this lane, my darling?
When l think of those sweet hours
We have spent within it's cloisters,
Meath it's trees and mid it's flowers
Every blade of grass grows dearer-
Every tiny fragrant flower
Seems to bring, in swift succession,
Memories of some happy hour.
Here it was we met, my darling,
On that blissful, sunlit morning,
When the woodlands robe of emerald
Fringed with summers fair adorn'
ing,
Cleaned with shimmering diamond
dewdrops,
And the birds were blithely trilling
Happy ~lays-swect morning carols
All the woods with rapture thrilling
Here, within its dusky shadows,
Sauntering down the lane together,
Love around us cast his letters
Fetters that would bind forever.
Here it was 1 told my story, :.
And, my happy answer guessing,
Held you in my arms a moment,
Sweet, red lips the while caressing,
There we had our lovers quarrel,
Mid those clumps of fragrant clover:
Here it was we grew repentant-
Begged forgiveness DER and DER;
Then l kissed your cheeks soft roses,
And your eyes with teardrops shin
ing,
Not content until your ringlets
On my heart were safe reclining.
Yes, l love this lane, my darling,
With it's fringe of wildwood flowers
Love it for the joy that crowned me
In those happy, happy hours;
For, though years since then have
vanished
Youths fair bloom is ours no
longer
Still our hearts as n are beating,
And our love each day grows
stronger.

America is being discovered a second
time. Our kinsmen of Great Britain
