Tn reading the announcement that F. W. Bromberg has secured an opti- gal expert to open an optical depart ment in his store and give course of instructions in optics, one would nat urally ask who MT. Mertz is and what experience he has had. Here is what you want to know all in a nutshell: His references are first-class as a gen. tleman, optician and instructor. (This was very important feature with MT. Bromberg). He has had ten years of experience in jewelry stores, opti- cal colleges, optical stores, optical offices, optical factories and optical in- structing. This wide experience has cost many dollar, many years of hard work and lots of patience. But he enjoys the distinction of being one of the best posted and most expert enced optical men in the business. He will fit glasses in Bromberg's jewelry store for the next two months. Exam ination and consultation free. Popular prices.

George Tailor, blind man, was the next artist to do a song and dance, "What kind of tailor are you?" asked the judge. good or bad?" q am only tailor in name, said the defendant. 'I am a professional blind man in fact or rather in hard luck. I am a wandering minstrel. I work the concertina while my daughter works the public. Between us we manage to keep the wolf from the door and keep off the grass, though we can't always manage to keep off the police"
 ''The trouble is they won't keep off the streets" said an officer. They were at tracting a crowd at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, and the chief told us to keep that corner clear. l found the defendant there and told him to get a move on him, but he said he never yet got anything from a police man, so I run him in
 "Where did you come from?" asked the judge.
 Tt would take a right smart while to tell /" said the defendant
 "Go on,' said the judge; "I like auto biographies"
 T came from Memphis said the de- fendant q lived there ten years; then I was twelve years in Jersey City, and fourteen years in Hoboken. I came from Ireland. I also spent six years at Hot Springs, Ark"
 And now you are in hot water said tho judge. "I am disposed to be light, however on a man who spent fourteen years in Hoboken."
 "Yes, sir, judge; I wasn't doing any lhtng when arrested but working. I don t think man should be arrested for that. It was timely work for I was keeping good time on the concertina.
 T might give you a good time on the cl.ain gang" said the judge, "but as you are wandering minstrel If you will promise to leave town today I will turn you loose"
 'I can't leave before Sunday, judge, be- cause l have paid my board in advance.
 Well, you can't eat it." said the judge, because I will have to board you In the city jail unless you get big move on you and leave town"
 About what time, judge?"

Who is this unknown man I see charg- ed with carrying Q concealed weapon?' asked Judge Feagin in the Police Court yesterday. The unknown man here arose and said he was tired of being unknown to fame and he desired to be known un- der the eognomen of Sin Key.
 Which Is your given and which Is your Christian name?" asked the judge. My Christian name Is Sin and surname Key l believe that is the key to the situa- tion,' said the defendant. "Puns are a judicial prerogative in this court" said the judge, "and now that I know your name I would like to know how you managed to conceal that enormous pis- tol which the officer took from you and which he is now playing with.
 That is horse pistol, judge, and but for your Honor's ruling on puns l might describe the officers actions as horse play, only horses play with their feet and not with their hands,"

 "I might say that man who could carry such a pistol has muscle as well as nerve," said the judge. "He ought also to have money, for it costs $loo In this court to carry weapons. It is really more profitable to carry coals to Newcas- tie than to carry pistols to Birmingham. Just pay the $100 to the clerk"
