In the Police Court.

Perhaps the less said about the
case before the police court Tues
day, the better. It is of such a
character that it is not particularly
edifying, and an extended publica"
ton of its proceedings would have
O tendency to detract from the ex-
cellence of family paper. One of
Ca1dwell's scarlet women was con-
victed OF violating the provisions of
ordinance No. ID, and was fined
$50 and costs.
This is one of series of cases
that have been disposed of by the
officers of our city the past year,
but this woman felt that the law
could not be enforced if brought to
the test and stood trial. The re-
suit was a vindication of the better
moral sentiment of the community,
and has the hearty approval of our
citizens.
