Police Court Acts.
Lewis Lundy and James johnson, colored,
are employed as walters in the same dining
room; they occupy the same room together
in a house in Baptist alley, and to even

proposition reached climax last night.
and this morning the men attended the ses-
sion OF Judge Bundy's branch of the Police
Court, Lundy as a defendant. and Johnson
in the capacity of chief witness. After be-
ing arraigned on the serious charge of car
rying a concealed weapon in the shape of
a loaded revolver, Lundy pleaded not
guilty on advice of his counsel, Attorney
Scipio Baker.
johnson explained to the court that he
and Lundy were paying attentions to the
same GIRL and that last night the former
showed revolver in his face and threat
ened to shoot him and that he reported the
matter to Policeman Cavanaugh, who ar
rested the defendant. finding the weapon
in his hip pocket Lundy declared that the
weapon was not in working order, and his
attorney tried to convince the court that a
pistol was not deadly and dangerous
weapon as defined by law, unless 1t was
loaded, his client having denied that his
revolver was loaded. The court, however
could not be convinced into the attorneys
way Of thinking, and directed that Lundy
should spend the next 300 days in the
workhouse or pay a fine Of 500 as the
equivalent.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH. Va. August 20.-The pre-
liminaries for the construction of the new
6OO-foot dry dock at this navy yard are now
under way, and 1t is said that work may be
started within few weeks.
The dock will be able to accommodate any
ship now in the navy and any that may be
built along the present conservative ideas
of the constructors.
It will be the greatest dock owned by the
United States government, except the one
of the same dimensions at the Brooklyn
yard.
at this station.
The proximity Of the naval rendezvous
of Hampton Roads, renders 1t imperatively
necessary that there should be at this navy
yard every facility for the prompt repair
and fitting out of the ships of war.
The prospect that the actual work of con-
struction may soon begin Is good news to
the naval officers attached to the station.
The battle ships will no longer have to go
to New York or to private shipyard on
Hampton Roads for their repairs.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES,
 Matthews and Harris, who lead this weeks list of merrymakers at the Jacques with will NJ. Cressy's comedi- etta Adam the Second" are becoming very popular because of the extremely novel and originally conceived story of the comedietta and of the very ef- fectiye way in which they bring out the fun. Among the associate merry makers who figure on the bill Haight and Drew are attracting probably as much attention as any for the reason that MT Knights home is ill Water bury and his work in "A Fair RebeT'
 when played by the Acme club few years ago is well remembered MT Knight is a capital comedian, and the splendidly spontaneous cordiality shown toward him the past two days is a standing denial of the old saw that a comedian is without credit i'll his own town. There is plenty of comedy. and no little novelty, in the remainder of the bill, making show that is good throughout. Among those appearing are Will F. Denny, the Rice Family, Senfel and Kessuer. the Misses Carrie Ezier and and Josie Webb, Hacker and Yester and Harston and Ryan, Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

THE AMERICAN SAILOR.
He Works and Plays Hard and Spins
 Great Yarns.

f a
 But the sailors life is not altogether one of hard work, and on the whole he, has very good time. Dancing, gym inastics, fencing, boxing and boat rae ing fill his leisure hours. His natural fondness for pets is proverbial, and there are few ships without a mascot, be it got, dog or Dennis the pig, which serves to tighten the hours of the dull watches at sea. Many stories are tod of the proWess of ships pets, at night on the forecaste, when the hammocks are down and the pipes lighted. One man spins a yarn of q cat that was born i'll an old boiler, cruised 50,000 miles in one ship, es- tahlished a great reputation as fight CT in all parts of the world, and final ly ended his adventurous career on the coral reefs of Samoa. Another tells Of which he sailed in the China seas, whose fondness for liquid paint pro duced periodical attacks of blindness. Then there' is story of dissipated dog who never lost an opportunity to get drunk and who always recognized the bugle call for the gig and invarfa bly, ran to the gangway when it sound ed, to 20 ashore with the captain. But the best of all is the one of the pet bea- who chased young officer up the mizzen rigging. Fortunate in, deed is the animal that falls into the hands of a sailor
 'sThe sailor man has his yagaries. 5 once said the present bishop of Shang- hai over the coffin of sailor who had taken his own life. 'sbut he is the ten derest hearted creature into which God ever breathed the breath of life'- Lentenant Commander Gleaves in the l Worlds Work.
