tained in queting the man and getting
him to go to bed The officers statement
was corroborated by Mrs. Hammil, who
appeared as a witness, but Van Buren, ad-
mitted that he made no report of the case
at the police station until the next after
noon. He claimed, however, that he told
Sergeant Finnie when he met him subse-
quently on the street. This the sergeant
strenuously denied.

question as to his guilt and President Me-
Gill said to him that his record had been

days pay with a caution not to come be-
fore the Board again on such a charge or
ne would have to suffer the severest PEN
atty.

to give the signal his attention was called
to strange noise, and he went to inves-
tigate. He found 1t was caused by the
wind swinging gate and on returning TO
the box to close it forgot that he had not
reported. His story was believed and the
charge was dismissed
Sergeant McDevitt of the Fifth precinct
whose trial of a charge of being absent
without leave was laid over from the last
meeting, pleaded that he was taken with
cramps as the cause. Police Surgeon
Nevin corroborated the sergeants state
ment that he sent for the doctor to at
tend him Nevin had not the right ad-
dress SO did not find him until the fol-
lowing day and he was then all right. He
thought it sufficient to report to the doc
tor, and the weather being rainy ne con-
cluded to remain at home, which he did
for two tours of duty. He was adJudged
guilty of violation of the rules of the de-
partment and iined five days pay.

other laid over cases, including. those of
Captain McKaig and Detective Keenan,,

Primrose and Dockstader,

The attraction at the Jefferson Theatre rose and Dockstader and their merry company. These two names are not new to theatregoers, and have been synony- nous with the best in the amusement world. To take minstrelsy and bring it up to the best standard where they have now placed it was no easy task There were many obstacles to overcome In the first place, these two gentlemen decided that to present it properly was to give it color and light to please the eyes as well as the ear; to cut out the tom-fooI- cry the horse-play. the knock-ab about,and present it clean-cut and bright. This year the first part setting Is elaborate. The first edition of end men are Larry Dooley and Neil O'Brien, with Charles Kent as interlocutor. They are followed by Geo. Primrose and Lew Dockstader whom if will not be necessary to dwell upon here The vocalists are of high order The olio opens with Dooley and Kent. sing ing comedians, followed by Lew Dock stader in a new act involving topical hits An original Terpsichorean interlude by George Primrose entitled '"The Sunny. Sunny South," is illustrated by some southern views, a musical skit by Bo- kinds of primitive instruments, and the Carl Danian troupe of acrobats, six in number.

"Papa's Wife, is a French adapation from two vaude- villes by Harry B. Smil., and Reginald de Koven.

 ''I'll make 1t $2. 50' said the judge "You can pay the city this amount in gold dust, and I also expect you to take s2.5O of ordinary dust out of Benjamin"
 Here another young culprit called Will lie Young intimated that he could not re- strain a desire to plead guilty to the crime of shooting craps. His mother, following the example of Benjamn's fa- ther, told the court she would give Will lie good whipping if the judge would let him off easy.
 ''Is he too big for you to whp?" asked the judge.
 No, sah" said the woman with a large accent on the no.
 'I ought to fine Willie $1o," said the judge. Tt is but one step from shooting craps to shooting cops. I will make his fine $5 if you will agree to give him $5 worth of whipping-make a weary Will lie out of him, that is a temporary, not a permanent one"

 "No, take him home; you can whip him right there"

Quo Vadis."

Mr. Max Freeman is responsible, in
 manner. for the success achieved by F. c. Whitney and Edwin Knowles produc- tion of Stanislaus Strange's dramatiza- tion of Quo vads." It is under his dl-
 rectioH that the piece was staged, and
 he personally inspects the performance
 frequently to prevent the possibility of
 lapse in any part thereof.
 MT. Freeman has brought all his knowl-
 edge of stage technique to bear on the
 business of Quo Vadis," and the result
 is said to be triumph. The play, which
 is ot be seen in this city Friday and Sat
 urday nights and Saturday matinee, fol-
 lows the book very closely, and is given
 in six acts and eight scenes. Among the
 most important of these are the gardens of Nero's palace, the burning of Rome
 the Emperors box at the amphitheatre and the Mamertine prison.
 It is of a semi-religious nature, which style of drama seems at the present time to have particular vogue. A writer in the Philadelphia Record devoted column
 to citing the great qualities he saw n | Quo Vadis''
 The production as given here will be | identical with that enjoyed by the citi-
 zens of London, New York and Chicago
 last year, and the company, numbering | fifty people, will be headed by such we'll
 known actors as Harry Roberts. Marcus | Ford, Joseph Callahan, Edward Powell, | Theodore Perry, Mary Emerson, Ellen | Hill, Winnefred Bonnewitz. Mae Keane, | Edna Harrington and Susie Knight.
