SHORT CALENDAR SESSION.
Attorney Kennedy Thinks H Was

attorney henneQy InlnkS Il Was Hypnotized by Attorney O'Neill. Attorney John O'Neill appeared in the role of hypnotist in the district court at the short calendar session this forenoon. Judge Cowell presided. The question of MT. O'Neill's powers as a hypnotist came up in a motion made by Senator Kennedy to vacate the order citing in l.. k. Root, clerk of the court, as co-defendant in the suit Of Loren R.. Carter against Catherine Ney, ct al. Senator Kennedy claimed to have never known such an order was granted until he received his short calendar list yesterday in his mail.
 Why of course you knew all about it. said Attorney O'Neil1. Haven't we been talking about it here for the past six years. Guess you were making history"
 Your honor," expostulated the sen ater from the rubber town, "I repeat I have never known of this order citing in the clerk of your honor's court as co-defendants in this case until yester- day"
 Do you mean to say hypnotized you?" laughed the jocu1ar O'Neill, sand do you think put my brothers Bradstreet and Russell, here, also un- der my magic spells?'
 T do not know anything about your magic spells daughter in the cOurt) but I do know that. did not know. any thing about this order,'' replied the senator. Sheriff Mcdonald felt his slats where he had been jabbed the other evening at the K of c. fair. They ached, consequently he was the only one present who did not laugh.
 T suppose you did hypnotize me. and my colleagues as well, for when I heard that such an order was on the docket presumed either MT. Russell or Judge Bradstreet would look out for it, but To! when came here found they had heard nothing of it either. Now, that is very strange"
 Oh, of course you were hypnotized, if you want to make it out that way. I suppose you legislators don't do 9 thing but hypnotfze each other when you want anything done for you. But this order was granted all right and it will stay"
 Docs your honor mean to say that you have made aII officer of your own court co-defendant in a suit to be tried here by your honor? Why, never heard of the like before. I hope, your uOnOf, JudI NIT. OeNelIl ulu uoI try his magic spells upon you" This was the first time Senator Ken nedy ever appeared in court as hu- morist. Judge Cowell decided that Senator Kennedy should put his mo- ton in writing and present it to the court next Saturday for consideration.
 A motion for disclosure of defense. judgment and law day in the suit of Charles l.. Norton against Nettie Nei- man was denied. All other business went over.
 The following cases were assigned thus: Monday, Ineson vs. Veeder Manufacturing company; Tuesday, John Brady vs. Lathrop x Shea; We'd nesday, Waterbury Lumber & Coal company vs. W. F. Hinckley: Rafello Poicello vs. c. G. Baker; Thursday, Hughes vs. Bunnell; May 6, Sackett ys. Worsman.

And Now His Patent feathers Will
 Go to Lowest Bidder.

 Difficult and amusing is the trouble to which the members of the stern sex sometimes go in order to delight their fair friends in the terpsichorean art. This was a pithy illustration in a story which is going the rounds. The young man in question employs his hands during the day i'll the carpentry trade and resides in a boarding house, not far from the center. Within the last few weeks dance was given by the club to which he belongs. Being very popular with the ladies Nelson (we'll call him) decided to invest in a pair of fine new patent feathers in order to "trip the light fantastic" As his pedal extremities have a few protu- berances on them, he purchased an ex- tra large pair so that the extra flesh on his toes would have plenty of room. Imagine his dismay, when he was about to don his attire for the pers were, to use forcible language. ssreguIar gunboats.'' It is needless to say that he had several tete-a-tetes during the evening, the pleasure of which was only marred by, his five dol lar "patents.' His friends were sur prised at the sadness on genial y'Nel- son's'' countenance An explanation came next day when they were eXcit- edly buttonholed by Nelson who with a sad and beseeching voice in- quired if they knew of anyone who wished to buy pair of fine patent leather shoes. warranted not to crack, at a great reduction.

POLICE COURT Do1NGs
Fined for Refusing to Pay His Trolley
 Fare. y

tl sN 4
 George Arman went to Union City yesterday to visit friends, and he saw them. This morning he was before Judge Burpee in the city court charged with intoxication and defrauding the Connecticut Lighting and Railway Go of cents, the same being the fare from Platts Mills to Exchange place.
 Were you drunk yesterday?' he was asked.
 JAW nae in Union City, he replied The question was repeated and the same answer was given
 Now, see here, Arman, we don't care whether or not you were in Union City. Were you drunk yesterday, and did you pay your fare?"
 ''Aw me in Union City, he said.
 Conductor Ambrose Knapp then tes- tified that the accused violated the or dinance regarding expectorating in public places, conyeyances, etc, that he was very drunk and refused to pay his fare from Platts Mills to the cit,v because he had paid from Union City to Platts Mills.
 'Got anything to say, Arman?' asked Prosecutor Durant, and Arman replied, ''Aw me in Onion City; that's all.' He was fined $5 and costs on each complaint.
 The case against Frank B. Robbins for burglary was nolled at the sug- gestion of the prosecutor, who stated that the matter was one for civil court more than for a criminal court. The Robbins Forging Go on Brown street was attached some days ago, and the accused being the president ol the company, he broke into the prem ises and took possession of some books upon the advice of his counsel, Judge Peasley. There appeared to be some defect in the process of serving the at tachment, which was matter for the civil court

CLUSTER" PERFORMING FEATS
Trolley Conductor and His Friend Went Out for a Drive.


 Went Out for a Drive.
 William Jones, g conductor on the Waterville trolley line, took out his blackboard buster, which he calls his broncho, yesterday, and prepared for a drive up the Watertown road. It was a glorious day and the buster felt glorious, too. To-day Jones feels in glorious and is thinking of railing off his buster, or else he will have its skin for a summer duster. Jones hitched the animal to his buggy and invited a friend to ride. Like falling star they fled up the Watertown road and got into company with a trolley car that was flying at the rate of Be1ah's comet. Having passed the car the buster tried to initiate dog in the act of pretending to be anxious to bite it's tail. Failing in this the horse under took to look over Morningside and came near falling back into the buggy in the attempt. Whatever observations it made regarding the price of real es- tate on Morningside it kept to itself. Then it tried to make a running jump over the almshouse from the opposite school house and came very near sue ceeding. It was then that Jones ale, his friend came to grief. The buster ran away. It ran as horse never ran before. Jones thought it would w1nd up in the north pole or Winsted. He hoped for the former and thereby out do all explorers and write his name on the Pole star. Startling visions ap- peared to him as the buster dashed up the road. Reaching Oakyille it tried to jump the railroad bridge, but failed, to the great joy of Jones, who found himself in the roadside after the buster had concluded to proceed for ward. The buster was brought back last night. so was Jones. The buster is laughing to-day at the great time it had and Jones is limping around on a leg and half.

BRYIN|S FUTURE PLANS
Editor Rosewater Says He Will be Gubernatorial Candidate
Has Given Up the Presidency Fight in His Opinion for the Present If Elected Governor of Nebraska He Will Keep his Eye on the Senatorial Position, Hoping to Succeed Govern or Dietrich.

New. York, April 27.-Edward Rose water, the Omaha editor is quoted by the Times as saying last night:
 William J.. Bryan, in my opinion, will be candidate for governor of Nebraska next year. MT Bryan still exerts a wide influence in the state, and if he receives the gubernatorial nomination, he will be a very hard man to beat. If elected governor he will hope to secure a Democratic leg islature in which event he will seek an election to the United States sen ate to succeed Governor Deitrich, whose term will expire in 1905.
 From the best information that I can get really believe that MT Bryan will not look for the presidential nom- ination in 1904.''

The Strike Settlement.

There is little effort to conceal the
fact that the settlement of the great
steel strike leaves the Amalgamat-
ed association in worse position
than it was when the strike began.
A remarkable fact is that the settle
ment is IN absolute aud direct con
tradietion of the principles which
President Shaifer so vigorously
avowed when the strike began. The
difficulty originally arose oyer d few
mills in which lodges had been
formed. and for which the trust re-
fused to sign the scale Mr.. Shaiter
loudly avowed that 1t would be
treason to desert these lodges. Dur.
ing the strike the workers in The
Benwood and Bellaire mills although
not previously organized, formed
lodges, joined the strike, aud were
received into the Amalgamated fold.
Now these men find themselves alb
solutely deserted, and their interests
disregarded in the settlement. I'm
der the circumstances they will
doubtless act for themselves, and
return to work as individuals, and
they are not likely to soon forget the
fact or the manner OF their betray
