SALOONS FOR
 THE CHILDREN Judge Low Lets an Of fender Off With a
 Trifling Fine.
State Law Ignored for Man Who Richly Deserved
 Punishment.
Questions Naturally Arise as to the Why's and Wherefores of the
 Transaction.

There was a case in the court of Po- lice Judge Low recently which failed to excite the interest it deserved. That it also failed to result in the infiiction of an adequate penalty is matter of opinion. It was that of Peter Bokoriska, charged with allowing minor in his saloon, and guilty of the charge. He was fined $5.
 The crime is one clearly recognized by the statutes The State law bearing upon it was enacted in 1891. It provides that for every offense there shall be a fine imposed of not less than $100, nor more than $500, and that in default of payment the convicted defendant shall be imprisoned for not less than 100 days. There is a visible difference be- tween these provisions and the punish ment prescribed by Judge Low. This may be explained in part by the fact that the complaint against BokoriSka was not made under the State law, but under a municipal ordinance much milder in it's terms, and yet not so sweetly lenient as the construction put upon 1t by Judge Low would seem to imply. This is order 2624. It forbids minors under IS to be in saloons, and says that any saloon keeper violating 1t shall be punished by fine not more than 5000 or imprisonment Tor not more than six months, or both. Ger tainly Judge Low was well within the law. There is no denial that $5 is less than 5000. But questions arise.
 When the State law was enacted it seemed to strike Chief Crowley as good thing, for he had it printed for distribution among his men, and at the bottom of the leaf was this line, sug- gestive even to the densest policeman on the force: Officers are expected to enforce this law There are no rec ords showing that these instructions were ever rescinded. An offender com ing within purview of the municipal or der would certainly be unable to evade | the State law Why, then, was Boko- riska arraigned under rule giving him a chance to escape? Why was a fine l which might have been 5000 made so much less as to be farcical?
 This Bokoriska is said to be an old | offender. His saloon out on Mission street has a reputation for harboring children of both sexes. Such is the reputation the police give 1t. Yet there | Is a State law designed to reach just such places. The law is ignored and an ineffective local order employed appar- entity for the purpose of letting people of the Bokoriska stripe escape.

 But while the little lions are quite a curiosity, they are not the only at- traction of the zoo. There are twenty other lions besides those in that cage. and in addition there is a big houseful of monkeys that are guaranteed to keep everybody interested and amused for hours. Then there are hyenas who laugh when they are displeased, and

Then there Is big black d., well, Bostock says it is a Siberian wolf, but to an uneducated and humble student of natural history it has all the appearance of mongrel dog with his ears beautifully trimmed But of course Bostock ought to know what it is, as he owns 1t.
 Then there Is Jolly, the big elephant with his mouth always open asking for peanuts and other delicacies dear to the stomach of the small boy and the bucolic visitor. Jolly was playful yes terday and took especial delight in trying to knock the top of the Japanese attendants head off. When Jolly got through with him the poor Jap had to be carefully guarded to keep him from falling afouI of the delicate paw of the big tiger, who seemed desirous of ca ressing everybody that came within reach.
 The great sloth was having good time teasing the Canadian wolves that room with him, while the black bear tried hard to make the big black dog beg pardon, wolf-keep his distance at the other end of the line.
 The young lion cub wanted to get out of his box and be petted, but his table and stand were not quite ready, so he will have to be satisfied in close quarters for a few days longer, and then he will have the run of the place without let or hindrance, for he is well behaved lion cub and is as playful as a kitten.
 There was but one animal in the whole zoo that seemed to be perfectly happy yesterday, and that was the little monkey chained to the rail, who received more attention than all the rest of the menagerie. He chattered and climbed over his visitors and ate peanuts and popcorn until it was a wonder where he slowed away all that he took in his mouth.
 Chiquita is a passing attraction now and the zoo gets the crowd. It is hard for Chiquita to bear, but humanity Is tickle, and what can one poor little Gu ban expect against a big houseful of wild and untamed beasts of the forest |? The living human wonder must go with the current, for the cry of This, ladies and gentlemen, is the African gorilla who is noted for his great resemblance to the human species" draws the throng away after the new gods, while the old ones are cast aside.

SWINDLED BY HIS FRIEND. Hamilton L. Gillis Loses 15O Opals

Hamilton Lincoln Gillis, a native of Pittsburg, Pa, obtained a search warrant in Judge Campbell's court yesterday for the recovery of 150 opals which he claims had been stolen from him by Aleck Cra- mer.
 Gillis went to Australia some time ago to go mining for opals. After securing 15O he returned by the Mariposa, working his way Cramer was on the same steam CT, also working his passage. When they arrived here Gillis continued working on in which to place the opals he gave them into the custody of Garner, who roomed in the same. house, at 54 Jackson street.

 Dr. Pepper Would Not Come.
 Regarding the statement that there has been talk of pr. Peppers succeed ing Martin Kellogg as president of the State University, and the suggestion that Mrs. Hearst would be pleased if the position were rendered to him, Mrs Hearst states that there is absolutely no Justification nor basis for such an impression. Mrs. Hearst has never thought of Dr. Pepper In connection with the presidency of the State Uni versity, has never suggested his name for the position to any one and is well aware that the university has nothing to offer pr. Pepper which would be omen to his consideration. Dr. Pepper has a handsome practice, yielding him an income of $S0, 900 year, and his du- ties a president of the Museum o1 Philadelphia and library, with whose endowment he is largely concerned make his departure from his own State impossible.
