JUSTICE WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
Judge Edwards Periodically Winks
His Judicial Eye.

ID. Feldman. a member of the Thir-
tccnth regiment was unfortunate
enough some time ago to be arrested on
a trivial charge of false pretenses. His
case is to come ur for trial next June.
Yesterday, his bOndsman. Simon
Dorfman, fearing that he would not
be on hand, when the case would be
called had him arrested on bail piece
and surrendered him to the sheriff.
Attorney Nathan NidaVer went be
fore Judge Edwards and explained the
circumstances. Without much ado, the
judge directed that Feldman be re-
leased on his recognizance. Mr.. Vida
yer intimated to court that Feldman
might not be able to respond at the
next term of court. Judge Edwards in
n meanful way gave Feldman to under
stand that he should not worry himself
into a fever about that.

CAME TO AN ABRUPT END.
Lecture at High School Had 10 Be
Stopped Because of Fire in
the Basement.

The illustrated lecture on The Uni
ted States Navy and the Maine Disas-
ter" at the High school auditorium last
evening was abruptly terminated few
minutes before . o'clock. Several eX-
cellent pictures of United States, Eng
lish and Spanish battleships had been
shown and the small audience was de-
cidedly interested when the announce
mcnt was made that the exhibition
would have to be stopped, owing to
the burning out of the electric wire
connecting the operating machine.
!. G. Osborne, the lecturer, had just
completed his reference to the battle
ship Maine, the picture of which was
greeted with tumultuOus applause, when
smell of burning rubber permeated
the auditorium. Several hurried exits
were made, and number of the school
controllers, who We're present, rushed
to the hallway to ascertain the cause.
The janitor of the building hurried to
the cellar and discovered the wires on
fire. The current was Immediately shut
off and the flames eXtinguished without
any damage being done.
The timely action of the young men
in charge prevented a probable confla-
grafton ana stampede or the audience.
Without much ceremony the discovery
was communicated to the lecturer who
| calmly announced the cause of the de-
| lay and the assemblage was dismissed.
| The operating machine in use is of the
latest design and similar to those used
in cineomatograph exhibitions. The
prompt discovery of the fire averted
what might have been a repetition OF
the Young Mems Christian association
fire. That confagration was caused by
the explosion of the films used in the
| machine.
Several of the controllers were much
disturbed over the occurrence, and il
is not at all unlikely that last nights
| happening will serve to prevent a re-
petition of such exhibitions in the nigh
school building. The lecture, how
ever, will probably be repeated in the
near future
