MIKE BONNETT'S

Causes His Fathers Arrest-Bon-
nett will Send the Boy to Re-
formatory.
Mike Bonnet, the man of trouble, Is
again in the hands of the law. MiSe Is
probably as well known in aldermanic
circles as any man in the city. He
seems to have an uhfalllng affinity
for trouble, and scarcely fortnight
goes by but there Is something doing
with Mike as one of the central fig
ures. Yesterday, Mike was held under
$500 bail by Alderman Atkinson for MS
appearance at court to answer TO the
charge of beating his son.
1t seems the boy. who Is about 10
years of age and has been making
almost as good record as his father'
took 1t into his head a couple of weeks
ago to depart from the paternal roof.
Gathering a few traps" into big ban
dana handkerchief the lad vamoosed
He made trip through the lower end
of the valley and was not seen at the
Bennett home again till Sunday.
His mother hugged the truant to her
bosom and called him all sorts of pet
names. The lad expected the same ef-
fectionate reception from his father
. but in this he was disagreeably disap-
pointed. Bonnet senior did not APP
prove of his sons conduct and deter
mined to express his dsapproval in a
manner more emphatic than mere
words.

say that the irate father used hand
sleigh runner with which to chastise
his son. The boy endured the tlogging
. for time, and then, with wild
shrek which would put to shame a
Digger Indian, dug out for the swamp
Sometime later the mother wended her
way thither with the lads clothes.
Many people in the vicinity were
highly wrought up over the doings
The boy exhibited ugly marks of the
beating he received and complained
loudly Several of them went before
Alderman Atkinson and there informa-
ton was lodged which led to Bonnett's
arrest. At the hearing, Mike protested
against his retention, claiming that he
had right to chastise a naughty, way
ward wilful son. The alderman ad-
mitted his right as head of the family
to inflct reasonable punishment on the
boy, but from the marks on the boys
body and the testimony offered decided
that Mike had gone beyond even a
parents privilege and placed Bonnet
under bail to appear at court and in
the meantime keep the peace toward
his son.
Bonnett says that his son is a very
bad boy and that he has got beyond
parental control. He proposes there
fore to place the lad in some institu-
tion where he will be taught a code
of morality higher than that which
he seems to have been taught hitherto.

Fern Hall Entsrta ainment.

The entertainment given at Fern hall
Monday night for the benefit of the
Dundaff Episcopal church was a fiat
terlng success. A large audience as
sembled and all present enjoyed the
well-arranged programme very much.
The affair was carried out under the
supervision of Mrs. Churchman, Of
Philadelphia, and ex-Dlstrict Attorney
John r. Jones, Of Blakely, acted as
master of ceremonies.
Perhaps the most excellent number
on the programme was recitation
given with rare ability by Miss Eleanor
Jones, of this city. She responded to
an encore in the same able manner.

FOIey's Honey and Tar

The Road to Anarchy.

One of the most dangerous tenden-
cies of modern American life, appar-
emily becoming every day more preva-
lent is the disposition wantonly and
recklessly to speak i'll Of those who are
charged with the performance of public
duties. Instead of the respect which
in the days of our fathers was exhib-
tied toward those selected by the peo-
pie for Office, it is the habit of our time
to offer them only abuse. If we ever
succeed in entirely destroying the con-
fidence of the people in those who ad-
minister the government we shall have
reached the time when the government
itself is ready to perish. 1t is kind
of slander which is closely akin to
treason and leads directly on the road
to anarchy and the overthrow of our
cherished institutions. 1t is the breed
ing ground where grow the sentiments
and impulses of creatures like Guiteau
and Czoigosz.-From Judge Penny
