THE RECORDERS COURT
Police Reap Rich Harvest of Festi
 vel Vags.

"It is little quiet after last weeks big rush." was an expression frequent ly heard on the streets yesterday, but no enc can justly accuse Recorder Jobs of making a statement of that sort publicly. He does very little running around for the purpose of getting his nose into other peoples business and as for his own, he had all he could at tend to yesterday and then some.
 He will hold an overflow meeting to- day and perhaps make private car nival week of it for the police depart ment.
 The feature of the recorders carnt- val opening day that most interests the public is the same that caused so much excitement last week during the big show-the case of Little Egypt. It will be remembered that she was ar rested for giving an indecent show and gave bond to appear for trial yester- day. About o'clock in the morning several gentlemen who differ with her in their opinions regarding Terpsich- orean proprietieS, and who were inter- ested in her prosecution, arrived at the city hall and awaited the machin- cry of the law. Shortly after, Judge c. NJ. Frazier, who had been retained to protect the rights and liberties of the oriental exponent of muscular de- ve!opment, put in an appearance and before long the recorder hove into view. Court was opened and Little Egypt was called. She failed to re- spond and after she had been searched for diligently all over the city hall and on the benches outside the court de- cided that she was not present and gravely declared that her bond was forfeited. Later it was reported that Little Egypt is now resident of Cali fornia.
 In the afternoon a jail delivery Oc- cured under the auspices of the whole police force, the contents of the tank being emptied into the recorders chamber.
 The first man sorted out of the lot was D. White, whose intemperance cost him $4 or four days.
 Frank Hoffman was also a victim of appetite and was given a like sen tence and s10 was clapped on the top of it, that being the amount of a form CT fine which was suspended during his good behavior.
 A youth named McClelland was pre- sented. He was a beautiful fair-haired child with long, curly, blonde locks, parted in the middle and had he been differently attired he could easily have passed for a girl. It seemed cruel to see him thus hauled up before the law and even more so, when he told his story. He said he was a paper-hanger and painter by trade, but had been side-tracked at Wickenburg whence he came to see the carnival. He had good job there but was fearful he would lose it if detained too long in jail. He was given twenty days and later said that he was a newspaper re- porter and a graduate of Stanford un- iversity. This is sad warning to all young men who will do well to avoid a literary or journalistic career.
 nineteen-year-old boy was next arraigned on the charge of vagrancy. He had a good face and told good hard luck story, in which a mother and two sisters figured Tears came into the eyes of the court as the youth was discharged.
 An eighteen-year-old lad faced a charge of Sagrancy. He had been on the road two years and came to Phoe- nix to get job on the street railway extension, an enterprise which had at
