 DAMAGED BY A DOG. -C. L. Nor row yesterday began a damage suit in Justice Johnstone's court against Wah
 Lee, the proprietor of a laundry and a vicious dog. The suit has nothing at all to do with the laundry, but rests entirely on the dog. The plaintiff was bitten by the dog a week ago. It was not mere snap, but a painful lacera- tion affecting not only the plaintiffs S trousers, but the drawers under the trousers, the skin beneath them and the flesh and bone within. It was a bite for blood. Wah Lee came into court and entered a general denial of the all legations of the complaint, his own ex- istence and his ownership of a dog, whereby the plaintiff is indirectly re- ferred to Christian Science for treat ment on the theory that he labors un- der delusion and only imagines he has been bitten. MT. Morrow, how ever clamors for $500 in satisfaction of his injuries.

 TEMPLE OF JUSTICE.-Justice of the Peace c. w. Johnstone is not so nimble as he was twenty-five years ago, but he proposed to keep up the pace set by the aristocracy of Wall street, even if he has to make his offices outshine the apartments of the United States supreme court in order to do. He recently rented the suite his historic court room and has furnished it in manner comport- ing with the dignity of the highest court in the territory, except the dis trict and supreme bodies. A Chinese easy chairs, a desk. etc. are noted But that is not all. He has a carpet on the floor and threatens a life sentence to the first man that errs in his aim at the cuspidore. The legal parlors will not be used on common drunk and occasions but will be set apart as a waiting room for ladies who are sometimes unwillingly summoned as witnesses, and for such gentlemen as desire a legal conference without taking the entire civilized world into
