New Cases and Old Glasses.

"The court will come to order" called ont Sheriff Curran in the Police Court yesterday as Judge Feagin took his seat behind the desk and Clerk Meade hurried ly docketed the last few cases.
 i've left my glasses at home this morn ing" said the judge. 'I think I've got an old pair here somewheres," he con- tinued, discovering a drawer somewhere in the old desk and pulling it out.
 If your honor can find drawer in that old desk" said the sheriff, T reckon you can find an old pair of specs in the drawer"
 '1 spec I can," said the judge. 'No sooner said than done. Here they are' you see." drawing forth pair from well-worn leather case.
 "I don't think your honor ought to try new cases with old glasses" said law yer Ut is like putting new wine in old bottles-they are liable to break"
 q think the criminals are more liable to be broke than the glasses said the judge Are the new cases today particu- larly bad?" he inquired of the sheriff.
 q don't think so. your honor" replied the sheriff. "They are new cases, but there's nothing new fin them Same old cases we've been trylngl"
 I'm sorry" said the judge. Its very trying to have to try the same old cases day after day. l wish the defendants would get up something new. 1 almost think Dan Daly was right when he said there was nothing new"
 "I knew that, your honor," said the clerk There was nothing new as far back as 1876. I went to the centennial that year, and that was when l discov-' cred it'
 That was in Philadelphia said the judge. There never was anything new there Even the ground Is old"
 Birmingham is new, judge" said the clerk At any rate, the streets here are new"
 "They are numerical" said the judge, "and somewhat numerous, but otherwise they are as old as Methusaleh.'
 How old was he, Judge?' asked the sheriff.
 He was s99," said the judge. "There is an engine on the New York Central Rail road numbered after him. He was also the original "999 formerly 1000 man.
 i've got a case here with that num- ber," said the clerk Would your hon. or like to try it?''
 There is nothing I would like better"
  charged with impersonating Methusa- leh?"
 No sir It is the old charge of imper- sonatlng a policeman. He stole some peanuts from Jim Maroon"
 He was marooning was he?"
 Your honor,' said the defendants lawyer it Is true he took two or three peanuts, but that Is not guilty. Every po- liceman in town takes peanuts. l take 'em and when taken openly it is not crime"
 "Open handed generosity Is not q crime" said the judge but open handed stealing is. Inasmuch as this peanut was easy to crack l will only fine your client $l."
 Judge" said the defendant, "can yer gimme two minutes ter git de money?"
 "I think so, said the judge. T will even do more; I will give you three days of grace in jail if you fail to return with if.

said the Judge. "I like to see you oc- casionally. Your rich brogue Is a well come relief to the monotonous patois d Afrique that assails my ears. Besides you are too young to be accommodated from Birmingham. It would take an Irish bull to excommunicate you and ] haven't any a present.,
 'Jedge," said Pat, "Oi nivver want ter see Birmingham again"
 '1 thought you liked it's looks" said the Judge. You generally see two Birm- inghams with the amount of whiskey you drink. How long have you been here?"
 ''Twintyfoive years"
 "Wrhere do you live?"
 "Oi don't live; Oi travel"
 How much did you pay the last time you were here?"
 Three dollars
 He paid s2, said the clerk; "he gets communication rates"
 T tell you what I'll do." said the Judge; "I'll hold this case up until April 20. If you keep sober in the meantime and are in town that day come up here and I'll dismiss the case. If you are not in the city you are liable to be locked up"
 That was an Irish bull" unused the Judge, as the defendant left the court room. T might have excommunicated him with that. But I'll save it for to- morrow. He will probably be back by then"

A Worthy Appeal.

To the Editor of The AgeHerald. Your kindness in publishing the appeal for Irondale has borne good fruit. and I believe will continue to do so. It seems that all the generous-hearted people of Birmingham need Is to have their atten- ton called to the wants and needs of a distressed people, and immediately their hearts are touched and their hands are opened to give relief. One of the saddest cases, and one that should appeal to all who have hearts to beat and means to give is now before us. John r. Watson, a strong, hard-working, honest citizen of Irondale died suddenly on the electric car yesterday evening. His home was broken up and destroyed by the storm. His wife and family were given shelter by kind neighbors, but she is more than destitute: she Is bereaved, heart-broken and without money or household goods. I am well aware that 1t is only necessary for you to let these facts be known through your paper and friends will rally around her.
 Yours truly.

BRICKLAYERS' UNION
Will Again Affiliate With the Trades
 Council.

The Bricklayers' Union, which with drew from the Trades Council about one year ago, has decided to again affiliate with the central body, and to that end has elected delegates, who will be obligated at the next meeting of the Council.
 The withdrawal of the bricklayers was due to trouble concerning cer- tain work in the city in which the position of the local was not sus- tained by the central body. The diff ferences have, however, been amica- bly, settled and the announcement is received with much satisfaction in la Dor circles.
 The delegates who will represent the Bricklayers are J. N. Abbott, c. G Green, Y G. Garris, Pat Callenan and H. A. Markey.
