POLICE COURT D0INGS.
John Walsh Received Long Jail Sen
 tence This Morning.

ln the city court yesterday morning John Walsh, a character well known to the police, acted like a mad lion; to-day he was like a lamb. The ef- fleets of the bad drink he had taken Tuesday were still evident in his speech and conduct, and several times the complaint against him had to be repeated before he could be made to understand. He was charged with in- toXicatiOn, breach of the peace and being common drunkard. He was found guilty of each and was sen- tenced to thirty days, ninety days and 24O days in jail. From the last he took an appeal, it being the sentence Tor being common drunkard, and bond of $500 was imposed. Walsh's plea that he had work on County Con- missioner Walters strawberry patch in Cheshire did not work this time.
 The liquor cases were disposed of outside of court, each having settled for $50, excepting the cases against Ella Cook and her housekeeper, Lena Wilson, which were settled for $10O, and the case against A. Reichenbach, which was nolled without costs.
 William Deboy was charged with seriously assaulting one Patrick Della ney. The trouble occurred in the east ern section of the city early this morn ing. Prosecutor Durant stated that the injured man was unable to appear ill court. Dr Moriarty, who attended him, was called and testified that he found two wounds on the top of the head, exposing the bone. They were about two inches long. There was one on the forehead which clove to the bone also, and several bruises about the body. None of the wounds were sreious. but to avoid possible difficulty the doctor advised his patient to re- main abed. Prosecutor Durant stated that he will prove the wounds were inflicted by facing trowel, such as brickklayers use. He therefore asked for heavy bond. recommending $500. Representative Guilfoile appeared for Deboy. The case was continued to to- morrow morning under bond of $500, which was furnished.

BARCELONA NINE CALLED.

Hendricken Council Is Hot on the Trail
 of the Barcelona Players.
 The following letter sent into the Democrat office to-day is self explana- tory and very much to the point:
 Waterbury. Sept ,. 1901. Sporting Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir-A strange thing has hap pened within the past few days which need little explanation and perhaps little trimming i'll order to get to the facts. Barcelona council, K. of o., wants to play another game of base ball, so her manager says, and she wants to play Hendricken council. We'll, if that is not nerve then there never was such q thing as nerve. l supposed that after the last drubbing that Hendricken council gave the Bar celona chaps they would retire from the ball field, learn the game of golf or some other easy pastime. But of course if the Barcelona boys are not satisfied l am sure that the Hendricken cham pions will accommodate them with an- other game. Now in order to make it interesting why not play for fifty sup pers. The Hendricken boys are willing and in fact will be ready to play for fifty marbles or any other old thing if tine Barcelona players are willing. am authorized to make these. state ments for the Hendricken nine, the champion k. of O. team of the city and am more than anxious to hear from the Barcelona would-be champions.
 Respectfully yours,
 ONE OF THE CHAMPIONS.

TRIED TO REVIVE THE STATUE.

This story of an actual occurrence suffers because it is not told by the big, round-faced Woodward avenue res ton with gurglings and chokings that threaten apop;exy. T started in the lumber woods, and so did Peter is his inevitable beginning. We both won out and we're both just the same men we used to be. It's the women who turn on the fireworks when you get the money, but you've got to re- member that they generally help make and save it. Way up in the state near where Pete began, he built regular palace and hired people to furnish it for him, pictures and statuary includ- ed. In the hallway there was fine statue of the Greek slave, and Pete used to hang his ulster over it when he had company. Last summer made him visit, and the fourth night I was there the place took fire. We man. aged to save most of it. for Pete has an artesian well. plenty of hose and a bell that makes more noise than the old-style cannon. When we had down ed the fire we went into the ward and lit upon a scene that made Pete come within an ace of dying from laughter. There was the Greek slave on the sward and drunken fisherman, tears, streaming down his cheeks, throwing water into her face. I guess she's gone, Pete, but got her out quick as I see her, throwed that quilt round her, put her down here in the air and been tryin' ter survive her ever since. I'd like to find the feller that put them nippers on her wrists. "-Detroit Free Press.

 He was one of those Willie boys who delight to stand in front of any avail able mirror and primp up. Even a plate-glass show window is not de- sp;sed by the Willie boy, and when this particular one stopped and gazed at his reflected image in the window of Chestnut street shop the other after noon, his actions attracted but little comment. First he readjusted his tie, then he buttoned his coat and caress- ingly smoothed the wrinkles out, and was tilting his imitation Panama rak- ishIy to one side of his head, when young woman recognized him and stopped. Well, Jack" l" she said, laugh ing, ''are you thinking of buying a pair?" He turned and encountered her roguish eyes, and thenrealized for the first time that the window con tained an array of corsets. "Oh, don't know he replied, blushing and confused. That is-I mean-well, what of it?" And without so much as tip of the hat he hurried off down the street.-Philadelp Record.

Accounting for Dreams.

An interesting lecture on dreams was recently given by Prof. Bergson in Paris. The professor says that dreams are only visual phenomena. that the circulation of blood in the retina and the pressure of the eyelid on the optic nerve has something to do with it, and produces color sensa- tions. Our senses are not deadened in our slumbers; on the contrary they run riot; but the professor is con- vinced that we never invent anything in our dreams, and that the stories of musicians and poets composing won- derful things in their dreams are en- tirely unfounded. During sleep ''all that we have ever seen, or heard or read is there to be evoked by the slight est sensation. To dream, consequent- ly. is the natural state of the mind, which drifts into indifference to its surrounding s."-Science.

STATIONARY ENGINEERS.
Move to Turn the Association Into g
 Labor Union Defeated.

Rochester, N. Y.. Sept 5.-When the convention of National Association of Stationary Engineers met yesterday nearly all the delegates were promptly on hand. The report of Secretary Van Tassell showed healthy growth in the association and good balance in the treasury. The long rumored effort to change the preamble of the consti- tuition so that the association would be transformed into gigantic labor organization was suddenly sprung on the convention by the substitute pre- amble offered by Edward J. Lee of Albany. N. Y. Protests arose on all sides and after discussion by. Dele gates Frank Foster of Bridgeport, Conn, Crowley of New Jersey.

Mime. Amy Sherwin, like most sing CTS who have--toured the world, has had some amusing experiences. Her last experience in Adelaide was a funny one. Her hotel was opposite the houses of parliament, and the night she arrived the gambling bill was to be passed, and crowd of about 1000 people outside, who were there to welcome the sweet singer, kept de- manding song. At last she gave "Home. Sweet Home" from the bal- cony. So many of the members came over to listen that, when it was time to vote, there were not sufficient pres ent to pass the much-desired and hith- erto strongly supported measure.- Chicago Record Herald

Man Was Lying Beside the Tracks
 Case Not Serious.

It dinner party the conversation,
which had become informal and gen
eral, turned on the subject Of tricks
with cards. One OF the men produced
n pack and proposed to show the com
pany a most remarkable performance.
He asked the hostess to have soup
tureen brought, and 1t was done. Then
he asked the lady Mt his right to draw
a card from the pack and mike n men
tnl note Of 1t. She did so and returned
the card at random to the deck. The
performer next asked three or four Of
the male guests to shuttle the cards In
turn and requested the last OF them to
place the pack In the soup tureen and
put the cover on. Turning to the lady
who had drawn the card, he asked her
In what order she would have 1t ap-
pear from the top OF the pack, and she
said she would like to have II In the
seventeenth place. One of the gentle
men then took the pack from the soup
tmeen and counted the cards from the
top, face down.
"What was your card" the perform
err asked the lady, and she replied that
II was the ace of spades. The seven
teenth card was turned over and prov
ed to be the ace of spades.
A few days later u cabinet officer,
who was one of the guests, met the
performer and asked for an explanation
of that interesting card trick.
