squIRE sRoLoWITz SHOWS
Milton Parker That His Court of
Instica Is No Idle Jest.

Squire srolowitz, who enjoys the dis
tinctIon of being the youngest Justice
In the state, intends to uphold the dig
nifty of his court, and he used an eff
fectlve ultlmatum yesterday to win the
desired respect from Milton Parker,
who was defendant in a case that came
up for hearing. While arranging the
preIIminaries. the youthful expounder
OF justice became annoyed by the ln-
attention and levlty manifested by Par
ker. who seemingly did not grasp the
situation. Finally the placid counte-
nance of Judge Srolowltz unwreathed
Itself into Indignant lines, and bring
ing his jeweled hand down on his desk,
he said: "See here, Mr.. Parker. you'll
pay attention to me or I'll fine you for
contempt Of court" This had the de-
sired effect. The charge against Par
ker was OF maintaining house OF Ill
fame in Fulton. It was preferred by
Mrs. Flowers, who places a serious
charge against her husband. who is en-
ployed by Parker. The cases were con-
tinued until January 8.

prniao a. warden HaWk.

Charley Gibson, of this city. was re-
leased from the state penitentiary at
Sloundsville, yesterday. and he called
at the Intelligancer office to express his
appreciation of Warden Hawks man
agement of the big penal institution.
Mr.. Gibson, who was given a two-year
sentence, was released after serving
twenty months, on account of his good
conduct. He was implicated in the
theft of goods from the Joseph speidel
Grocery Company and the young
mans friends are confident It will be
his last indlscretion. He says the PEN
Itentiary was rather rocky when he
first entered 1t, but that It has improv-
ed fully 100 per cent since. The food
is of good substantial character, and
in the hospital section there are all the
convenlences compatible with an up-to-
date hospital. Mr.. Gibson speaks high
ly also of DR.. Steele and his assistant.
Mr.. Fisher.

Mr.. Browns Flag Sermons.

The Presbyterian church was well
filed last Sunday night by an atten-
tive audience to hear the pastors
first sermon Of the series sour Flag
and Other Flags" The church was
beautifully decorated with flags OF
various kinds, which Mr.. Brown
pointed out as he explained their
meanings and drew gospel lessons
from them.
Next Sunday night the second ser.
mon of the series will be delivered,
the subject being 1.-THE International
Code of Signals" This Is the method
by whichAdmiral Dewey made known
the slogan of Manila bay, "Remem.
Der the Maine" Rear Admiral Samp-
son employed the same system when
he called for volunteers to sink the
collier Merrimac at the entrance oI
Santiago and 400 brave men offered
to give their lives for their country'f
cause. This system will be i~llustrat'
ed and explained next Sunday night
by the use OF more than sixty flags
Mr. Brown will also display various
signals OF the code and dwell upon
their gospel significance. These ser
mons are instructive az well as evan
gelistic and should not be missed by
any n who wishes to be considered
an enlightened citizen.
