ENDING
=. THE TERM.
General Sessions Court
Dlsposes of a Number
g.. Of Interesting :,
g: sia Matters. -

General Sessions Court has almost
finished its May term work. This
morning the grand jury was dis.
charged.
The only jury trial Of the morn.
ing was that of George Roberts, a
young colored man, indicted for bur1
glarizing the house of George Nam
love in st. Georges Hundred OH tho

was not represented by counsel.
The jury found the prisoner guilty
and the court sentenced him to six
months Imprisonment.
Frederick Hegenmeyer, who was
brought before the court for nom
support, was discharged upon the
recommendation Of Attorney Gem
eral White, 1
Antonas Jocis, whose trial on tho
charge of ENLIGHTENMENT was fixed
for this morning, was brought into
court, but through an arrangement,
between D. J. Reinhardt, his law-
yer, and Mr.. White, a continuance
until the next term was granted,
Bail In the case was reduced to
! $1,000. :
Capiases made returnable to the
next term of court were issued for
several lawyers and business men
who have failed to pay their license
fees, for which they have been in-
dicted.
During the morning the Superior
Court calendar was distributed
among the members OF the bar.
John Il. Williams charged with
desertron, failed to answer to his
name, and capias, returnable next
Saturday, was issued for him.
Fred Morgan, charged with de-
sertion, also failed to answer to his

The court signed 100 unremon-
strated applications for liquor Ii
censes. There are but two appli-
cations before the court because Of
remonstranccs, thoscof Samuel PEG
of this city and Mr.. Reilly of New
Castle.
MORE TROUBLE FOR JoCIs.
AS Antonas Jocis was being talk
en- from the court room, Detective
McVey served a second warrant on
him. 1t charges him with having
embezzled $3.50. from Agnes Gal
umbowski on March %. Jocis will
be given hearing in Municipal
Court Monday morning.
The object in bringing back the
Grand Jury this morning, was to
consider charge OF perjury against
Alfred L. Shaifner, but the State
decided not to send the information
to the jury, as the defendant has
already been sentenced to a long
term Of Imprisonment. The jury
was therefore discharged.
The charge of non-support
| against George Fl. Freeman was
dismissed, Freeman having complied
with the Courts orders.

A RETURNED CALL. ~ s' ~ +;
It Probably Taught the Well Mean
ing Woman a Lesson.

IhB '" - AASoSS"s
Thu following is an actual incident OF
New York life:
She hoped that she was doing lots of
good. She would visit the poor In their
own homes and, as she believed, cheer
them up. One time she~called on poor
woman in Hester street, and, as was her
wont, she Immediately began to ask
stereotyped set Of questions which she
hurled at the woman.
"How old are your How many children
have you? Can you read9 Does your hus-
band drink" etc.
The woman did her best to stem this in
terrogative avalanche and mumbled some
answers. After about half an hours talk
the philanthropio woman went away and
was driven to her home in Fifth avenue,
leaving her card with her address at The
Door womans home A clergyman who
did charitable work in that section called
ON the Hester street woman few days
after the rich woman's visit. After some
! talk with her she said to him:
~ thinks dat makes one call. "
"Well, my good woman, on whom do
| you intend to CALF"
She named the would be benefactress.
But" said tho clergyman, "do you
know how to behave when you call upon
| such persona
ooh, yes!' she said. II knows how
they behaves, und behaves myself just
like 'em."
She did call and was ushered into tho
drawing room. A few moments later the
wealthy woman entered the apartment.
As soon as she crossed the threshold her
visitor began:
Chow old are your How many children
have you? Can you read9 Docs your hus-
band drink? How often does he beat your"
Then she turned sharply about, and,
holding up her ragged skirt, she strobe out
of the house and down the avenue.-New
