When q man allows his opinions to be
made public and prefaces them with an
Introductory sentence like that which
follows he must have incontrovertible
evidence to back them up Whatever his
neighbors' estimate may be of his ideas.
one thing cannot he disproven, his con-

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

The case of Edward Joyce, the boy who
was convicted on charge of larceny in
the Municipal court last Friday morning,
was again brought to the attention of
Judge Robinson yesterday morning. 1t
will be recalled that the lad was sentenced
to the reform school during his minority
and that his mother maintained that this
could not be done as her son was too old
to have that sentence imposed.
z. A. True, who had been retained as
the counsel for the young respondent, ap-
pearsd this morning and asked for an
other continuation. He said that other
parties had become interested in the mat
ter to such an extent that they were to
write to the parish priest in Newcastle
on-the- Tyne, in England, where the boy
was born and learn the exact date of
the youngsters birth.
This procedure will occupy some time
and accordingly the court postponed the
case for one month and fixed bail in the
sum Of 500 for the appearance of the hoy
at that time. The required securities were
furnished.
Albert Fl. Howe appeared to testify
against Eugene A. Reardon. who was up
on the charge of being common drunk
ard. MIR. Howe said that when he came
home New Years night. Reardon, who
lives in the house. was roaring drunk.
He called me names, - said Mr.. Howe,
and said that he would do ME up if he
got ten years for it. Next morning l came
down to the police station and entered a
complaint against the fellow" Reardon
made general denial, declaring that he
had never mentioned the name of Mr..
Howe, and remarking that Mr.. Howe had
appeared against him because he wanted
to get another family in the rent. Rear
don also denied that he made any threats
whatever, or that he had been drinking
The court desired farther time to inyesti
gate the case and continued it to Wednes-
day morn ing, fixing bail in the sum OF
800. These sureties were not furnished.

charges of being common drunkard and
to assaulting Officer Bonnoy. The latter

that he is not candidate for re-elec-
tion as state treasurer. Personal con

Field is a popular servant Of the state

There is a strong list of candidates for
