"The Sign of the Cross"

''The Sign of the Cross," Wilson Bar retts powerful drama of Rome under Nero, will be the attraction at the lief ferson Theatre for two nights, beginning Wednesday, March 20, with matinee Thursday The action of the play is laid in times of which even history shudders to relate. But half century had passed away since the ascention of the Man of Galilee and Rome was the most degraded place on the inhabited globe It was a veritable Sodom and Gomorrah; the En- peror tyrant, a disolute wretch, fiend incarnate; his subjects moral bankrupts
 Womans charm was vice rather than virtue, and men exampled in their daily lives lust and low cunning This is the background of Barrett's play and serves to make more beautiful the story of the sufferings of little band of Christians who endured uncomplainingly the perse- cutions and martyrdom that adherance to their faith brought them. The story of the play is so thrilling, and the stage settings so elaborate and beautiful, that entirely aside from It's strong moral les son, "The Sign of the Cross" is an at- traction that appeals to all lovers of thrilling melodrama quite as much as to the class known as "non-theatre-goers." who have done much toward the remark able success that this play has made dur ing the last few years. Charles Dalton and William Greet's London Theatre from the Lyric Thetre will present the piece.

Bargain Day In Court.

If anybody wants to confess their guilt" said Judge Feagin in the Police Court yesterday, speak now, or else forever hereafter hold your peace. It is against the law" continued the judge, for me to offer any inducements, threats or promises to obtain a confession. I will therefore only throw out a gentle hint that today is Friday, and there are thir teen cases on the docket"
 Upon that hint l see two who are ready to speak," said the clerk getting good focus with his spectacles on two pickaninnies who detached themselves from the main body of criminals and ad- vanced in skirmish order towards the judges desk
 "Haltr' called out the judge What are your names?"
 The defendants having made up their minds to confess all, admitted that their names were Urchin Smith and Baby Knight.
 "A blacksmith and a dark night, per ceive," said the judge. There is no tell ing what a blacksmith can't do on a dark night. Did he do anything to you?' In auired the judge of Baby Knight.
 No, sah nuffin'." said the latter. We was ridin' on a car an was captured by de perlice."
 You should have been riding a tourna- ment, Knight" said the judge, 'and you would not have been arrested. It is too plebeian for knight to ride on a street car; or, if you are Baby Knight, as your name would indicate, you should have ridden in a baby carriage. l am not surprised that Urchn Smith rode on a street car, for urchins and smiths will do this.'
 'They were stealing a ride on car your Honor,' said the officer. They got on the car on the Southside, and were riding northwest by north. l caught one of them, and the other, seeing me, jumped off the car while 1t was moving.
 Don't you know it is against the laws of the street railroad to jump off a car while it is moving?" asked the judge of the defendants.
 "Jedge," said Urchin. q tole de moter- man ter stop, but he said he was a man whose eye was. full CT notes. an dat he couldn't see it dat way. Said he warn't gwine ter stop fer me, but he was gwine ter put CT stop ter me"
 Did you ask him for a full stop, or just a comma?" asked the judge. Men, you know, only get a comma on the street

The Value of a Good Lawyer.

Judge" said a lawyer, you promised now, and the prosecutor is not here. wish you would count nine, and if he does not toe the mark, rule him out
 ''I will count 9:3O,' said the judge "Who is your client. and who is the prosecu- tor?"
 Jack Williams is the lucky defendant, your Honor, and I understand Officer Patrick Is the presiding elder of the pros ecution"
 'There are three cases against him, your Honor" said the clerk. He is charged with vagrancy, stealing dress and burglary and grand larceny of a gui- tar"
 will your Honor administer on the dress affair first?" asked the lawyer.
 "I want to continue the case" said the officer
 It's been continued three times," said the lawyer, "and by all the rules of base ball that means out. I want him turned loose.''
 Come around, Jack said the judge. What do you say?"
 He throws himself on the country with a plea of not guilty" said his lawyer. If your Honor pleases, this prologue is get ting a little long. l would like to get to the merits of the case, If it has any,
 "The witness who owned the clothes is out of the State," said the officer 'I state this fact so your Honor will under- stand the state of the case, and why I want a continuance"
 ''I ask for a mol pros without preju- dice" said defendants lawyer
 Judge" said the officer, "there is an- other officer out hunting evidence 5"I think he Is out hunting birds" said the lawyer. T saw him with a gun"
 An officer can't hunt anything without his gun," said the officer. Tt is against the police regulations to do otherwise"
 If he has found any evidence" said the judge, "it is his duty to bring it in.'
 If your Honor will let me cross-exam- inc him, said the lawyer II think l can bring it out that he hasn't brought it in. -
 This case will be continued in our next" said the judge. Tn the meanwhile proceed with the testimony"
 "Dis man." said the first witness, point ing to defendant, "stole CT dress frum Florence Bell formly Florence Beans, before she married Sydney Page"
 That is extra judicial evidence, your Honor,'' said defendants lawyer q move to rule it out"
 'I think that point is we'll taken" said the judge. 'Frhat evidence does not bind defendant. He is little too free and easy behavior"
 Did Florence ever see this defendant? ?" asked defendants lawyer of the witness. No, sah; dey were nebber interjuced" Where did the defendant get the dress?" asked the judge.

 Get Mary in," said the judge. Maybe she can throw some light on the sub ject"
 This is a case" said the lawyer, where the corpus delicti proves an ali- bi."
 ''I would like to ask your Honor for a writ of scire capias," said the officer, ito arrest the corpus delieti."
 You want to habeas corpus?" inquired the judge.
 "Yes, sir; I'd like to have the corpus" said the officer. T understand it's quite valuable
 T think he wants to dissect it, said the lawyer.
