NO CITY COURT TO-DAY.
Three Judges on Salary List, But No

 One Made Appearance
 On account of inability to secure a judge there was no city court this morning. Here is certainly a mess which ought to attract the attention of the republican officials who are forever finding fault with affairs that are han dled by democrats. There are three judges in this city and all of them have Jurisdiction in the city court. They are also handsomely paid. two of them by the city and one by the state, and when it is hinted that they are too we'll paid for the work they do they turn about and ask the public what can they. the public. do about it. The city pays two of them, as has already been said, but the state or the gov ernOr appoints them, and what can the people do about itg If the absence of some of the judges, and delay of the proceedings in the city court were an infrequent occurrence, it would hardly be worth comment, but it is the rule rather than the exception for ihe wheels of the city court to not begin operations until five or ten minutes after o'clock. the regular hour for opening court Sometimes 1t is half past Q before a judge can be found. md thus matters have been going from bad to worse until this morning. when the business to be disposed of had to be discharged by the chief-of-police. the prisoners were let go without trial.

Travis Makes New Record of IS in

Travis and new records are practically

American Leagues Annual Meeting

The annual meeting Of the American
League will be held in Chicago next Mon
day, and already most Of the eastern mag
mates Of that organization have started
west. 1t is expected that the meeting will
continue for about three days. President
Postal and Manager Lotus of the Wash
ington club will be in attendance and the
latter part of next week leave the west for
this city. Mr.. Postal will remain in Wash
ington for a week, but 1t is expected that
Mr.. Lotus will make this city his home in
the future.
At the coming meeting Of the American
League there Is a great deal of work to be
done. but as 1t is of the cut-and-dried or
der it is not thought that the conference
will! be a long one. The situation in St.
Louis will be fully explained to the mag
mates. but 1t is more than likely that moth
ing will be given out for publication. The
National League also meets next week, and
the two organizations being in conference
at the same time might mean more than
appears on the surface.
