ORDER CITY TO- PAY JUDGMENT
AdoIph Metsser Gets Mandamus, hut
10 BIOckedS by Appeal to
Supreme Court.

Judge Read yesterday granted a writ Of
nandamus according TO which the city
council is directed to pay to Alphonse
Metzger $500 out of the judgment fund to
pay for a strip Of land on Twentieth street
near Ames avenue, taken by the city sew
eral years ago to widen Twentieth street.
The writ will not be effective at once,
however, since City Attorney Connell has
taken IN appeal to the supreme court,
After the land was taken by the city a
special fund was created and the city council
insisted that it should be paid for out Of
this fund. There was no money paid into
this fund. however, owing to q controversy
over special Assessments. whereupon
Metzger insisted that the judgment which
he held by assignment from the Fannie
Croft heirs should be paid from the judg-
ment fund, a contention which Judge
Read sustained. 1t is likely that by the
time the supreme court has ruled on the
case, said Mr.. Connell, that there will be
money enough in the special fund to
pay 1t. ~.

She Read the Sign.

One day last week woman entered
trolley car in the Ridgewood station,
on the outskirts of Brooklyn. She was
accompanied by three very small chill
dren and larger son. The boy was
about fifteen years old and one of
those long. lanky fellows who haven't
had time to grow in all directions. He
was very tall.
The car was empty. The mother told
him to stretch himself out full length
on one of the seats. Then she instruct
ed the three other children to sit on
him.
When the conductor came to collect
the fare, the woman handed him 8
cents.
"What do you mean by this?" shout
ed the conductor. II suppose you want

some secret sign to Ziegfeld to let him
know that there was a note in his hat

An Abashed Reporter.

An amusing incident occurred just
previous to General Hunters retire
ment from the command of the Shen-
andoah army. Like General Grant, it
was the habit of Hunter to wear pri-
Yates blouse while resting in camp,
which made him look like anything but
an army commander. One afternoon a
correspondent rode up to the line of
tents and, seeing a soldier sitting at the
foot of tree quietly smoking Vir-
ginia corncob pipe. asked where ne
could find General Hunter.
1.-THE old man is somewhere about"
replied the soldier coolly.
"Well, just hold my horse. will you,
while go in search of the general?''
Certainly" and the man rose obedi-
emily and took the bride.
General Hunter?" said the adjutant
general, when the correspondent re-
newed his inquiry. Hes somewhere
about. Why. there he is, holding that
horse. What does it mean"
The correspondent turned on his heel,
went to the horse and, mounting, rode
off in silence while the general resum-
ed his seat on the ground and laughed
until the tears came into his eyes. The
correspondent sought another field for
the exercise of his talents, not caring
to face the ridicule awaiting him.
