"Glenr's Sulpher Soap" solves the problem
nationally. 1t diffuses over the complex

celain which the fairest of her sex might de-
sire, and its effects are more permanent than
those of any of the deleterious cosmetics in
use 1t gives to the face natural life-like

the great merit OF being purely vegetable

certainly no equal on this side of the At

Many Matters Brought TO the Attention of
Judge Ball Saturday MorpinE.


A long session of City Court was held
on Saturday and many matters were
brought to the attention of Judge Ball.
William X. Dixon, colored, who was
until recently janitor of the Whining
ton Bicycle Clubhouse, was charged
with disorderly conduct. Officer Gilling,
who made the arrest, said Dixon went
to the lot at Tenth and Van Buren,
streets to beat carpet and refused to
leave, although ordered to do so. The
officer said Mrs. Francis, living near
the lot, is critically i'll, and for that
reason and because the people in the
neighborhood have been annoyed by
the dust from carpet beating, COM
plant had been made to the police and
instructions had been given to have it
stopped. Frank A. Mitchell testified
to the annoyance from carpet beating
The officer said he told Dixon several
| times to leave before placing him under
arrest. The judge told Dixon he should
be careful not to annoy the people, and
fine of s5 was imposed.
Thomas Mullin, who was before the
court Friday on the charge of larceny
and was discharged, was arraigned on
| the charge of disorderly conduct, pre-
ferred by Charles J. H. Beckett, who
said Mullin used bad language in his
restaurant Friday night. A fine of s5 was
imposed. =--.
Charles Smith and John Williams,
both colored, were charged with the
larceny of u coat worth So, the property
of Eva Brachner. Officer Davidson,
| who made the arrest, gave damaging
testimony against Smith, as did also
| Officer Gum, who saw the men together
| on the coast. The officers were cor.
rohorated on an important point by
William Brown, colored, who was called
for the defence. There was no evidence
against Williams, who was put on the
stand by the prosecution. He also cor
roborated the officers, and Smith, who
is also known as John Thomas, was hel6
in 800 bail for the upper court. Will
liams was discharged.

road Co., from car near the Fiftl
street crossing, on March 18th. De
tective William I. Jones, who had tn,
warrants sworn out, said he obtained
the information from the colored boys
He did not like the idea of prosecuting
boys, but thought something should b.
done to prevent dealers from buying
stolen goods from boys. The Perkin
boy said the brass was sold at Higl
and Lombard streets. AS it was evi
dent that other boys were implicated
the case was continued until mex
Saturday morning, at the request o

of others, the party proceeded to the
westerly side of the yard, where the
keel of the General Whitney was being
| laid. 1t was intended to name the
vessel after President Grant, but he
stoutly resisted. because he thought
that it would SAVIOR of immodesty on
his part. Finally it was decided to
name it General Whitney and he con.
scented to name it. He then took a
Piece of chalk and in firm hand
wrote the name on the keel bar. The
chalk marks were followed by chisels
in the hands of some of the most en-
pert workmen and the name engraved
ON the keel.
