COURT RELEASED HIS CLIENT.
Annie Pennington, cOlcred, appeared
in Judge Balls court this morning
against Samuel BlackstOn colored,
whom he said assaulted her. He was
fined So and costs.
William Boyd, a milkman, was ar
raigned for selling skim milk in cans
without marking the same. He was
defended by Robert Harman, who, af-
ter quoting the ordinance, moved for a
dismissal Of the charge. as the law
failed to impose a penalty. The action
Of Mr.. Harman CAUSED quite a surprise
to the court, but nothing could be
done but dismiss the case. This is OF
great interest to milk dealers. as it
practically allows them to sell skim
milk whether it is marked or net.

FOR
 THE TRUTH SOCIETY
LEAGUE OF THE CROSS ENTER
 PAYMENT A SUCCESS.
Metropolitan Temple Crowded With a Large Audience-An Inter esting and Entertaining
 Programme Given.

The entertainment given at MetropoIi- tan Temple last evening by the League of the Cross Cadets for the benefit of the ladies of the Catholic Truth Society proved a success far beyond the most sanguine expectations of those directly in charge. The hall was crowded to it's ut most capacity. People unable to procure seats crowded the aisles and blocked the passages leading to the entrance.
 The programme of the evening com prised many interesting and instructive selections by many well-known profes- sional singers and actors. Among the number were Elvia Seabrooke and Will liam Pruette of the TivoH Opera-house and many other well-known actresses and actors. One of the most attractive feat ures was a number of comic songs and recitations by William J. Hynes, the well-known comedian. An eloquent ad- dress upon the subject of Patriotism. was delivered by John J. Barrett In it he outlined and defined civil government. speaking of 1t as divine in itself as the soul of man and obligatory and binding as moral law. He drew a well-defned parallel of the patriotism of the people of the United States and the people of other nations. He characterized it as one of the paramount traits of every Ameri- can citizen, emphasizing this fact by the heroic sacrifice that our volunteer sol diers are now making in defense of the principles of liberty and tolerance in the
 
 the war shall have terminated the Ameri- can republic will be under a lasting ob- ligation to the Irish and the Catholic church.
 This claim, he stated, was based upon the blood of Catholics and Irishmen, hun dreds of whom have .perished for the nation since the war was declared; and to the ladies of the Catholic Truth Society who have worked so indefatigabIy in ai- levfating the sufferings and privations of the soldiers. In conclusion he reviewed the policy of the nation and spoke of the war as the great and stupendous proof that the Government of this country is based on the greatest of all powers of complete union-that of patriotism.
 The programme rendered was as fol- lows: Overture, League of the Cross band; Introductory, w. E. Dorn. presi- dent of the evening; instrumental duet. Misses Pearl and Maud Noble; barytone solo.

nittee on district organization was ap- pointed, Sammy Braunhart being named as chairman. Braunhart Is Me Nab's lieutenant and Max Peppers Man Friday. When this action was taken the members of the committee of nine presumed that it was the first step toward the holding of district club primaries. If 1t was the first step it was the only one. Braunhart's com mittee has never taken any action, has never made a report and has now gone out of existence. Instead of inform ing the committee of one hundred that it was required to hold pri- maries McNab issued orders for the selection of delegates by appoint ment.
 Such is the secret history of the ap- pointment of the present governing body of the local Democracy
 The sequel is yet to be told. Mo Nab's reasons for ignoring all pledges are that he was fearful of losing his newly acquired power, and a desire to secure for himself the nomination for Congressman from the Fourth District. He was well aware that delegates elected at a primary would ignore his ambition to become a statesman. He therefore issued orders that the dele gates be selected by appointment, he reserving to himself the right to name the men to be appointed by such mem bers of the committee of one hundred as he controls-that Is to say the ma jority of the committee. There are 153 delegates to be appointed. Each mem Der of the committee has the appoint ment of one delegate and fifty-three are to be appointed by the committee act ing as a body. If McNab can carry out his plan to have these fiftythree delegates named from the list of names he has prepared he will then have majority of the delegation and will be in a position to order his own nomination In the Fourth District.
 He will also be able to vote the dele
