ARMITAGE PAYS FINE.


William Armitage, whose gambling house
has been raided twice within a week, was In
Police Court yesterday morning to answer
to a double charge of keeping a gambling
house. The first time the police visited 1t
they found nothing but an old broken crap
table, and as that was not sufficient evidence
to convict him, he was discharged. The
second time, just five days after the first
one, there was game of craps in progress,
but on account of blunder made by a pa
trolman the visitors all escaped. For this
time he was fined SIS and costs, which he
readily paid.
Gus Rahke, who was to have been tried
yesterday, again had the trial postponed
until Dec. 4, when the rest of the gamblers
cases will be tried Rahke has had his trial
postponed several times, and was followed
by the rest of the game keepers, who had
theirs postponed, each wanting the other
to be tried first.

OFFICER SHOOTS
 NEGRO BOY IN LEG
LARGE NUMBER OF NEGROES, LED BY THE BOYS MOTHER AND SiS- TER, THREATEN TO ATTACK THE POLICEMAN.

Robert Mccoy, 14-year-old negro. was shot in the leg in two places by Police man Phillips yesterday morning near Avenue G and Twenty-seventh street. The boy is not seriously wounded.
 While the policeman was standing hold ing the wounded boy and waiting for the patrol wagon a large number of negroes threatened to attack him, and a serious row was narrowly averted. The negroes shook their fists at the policeman, cursed him and theratened to take the boy away from him. Five white men, Messrs. Clarke, Cypress, Smith, Powell and Boat wright, went to the policeman's assis- tance and prevented further trouble.
 When the five mep arrived the police man had his pistol in his hand and threatened to shoot the next negro who came towards hlm. He was compelled to arrest the negfo boys mother and sister, who were leading the crowd.
 The boy was under arrest on charge of riding a bicycle down the pavement. The policeman was standing on the cor ner when the boy rode by and he ordered him to stop and get off The boy jumped off and started to run. The policeman states he fired at the ground to frighten the boy and that the bullet glanced and struck the boy in the leg The bullet split and part of 1t went in above the knee and part below.
 The boy was carried to Hillman hos pital, where the lead was extracted. He will be out in a few days. The little negro was only arrested after long chase, and was finally found hidden ir closet in a negro house.

making a poet A poet should be the ex- pression of whole race; a people inter- ested in the imaginative things-the eter- nal things Scandinavia seems to be the only country where this way is possible today. The other sort of poet is the ex- pression of highly educated class who know the great literature of the world; Rosetti was such a man. I think all modern literature suffers dilution from the manner in which writers of today wander all over the world. A writer can not be at his best except when writing of those things that he grew up among
 Was Shakespeare an exception? No. for in reality he was always writing about Elizabeth in England. There were no archaeologists to bother him. When he seemed to be writing of a Roman crowd he was really writing of a crowd of Elizabethan Londoners. That is one reason why he becomes quite absurd when staged with elaborate historical learning by London theatrical manager
 America seems nearer to an Irishman than England does." MT. Yeats remarked An Irishman is full of knowledge when he speaks of America, but in many parts of the west of Ireland, England is only a far off rather barbaric country to him"
 Mir. Yeats's love for Ireland is first In his affections His art and the revival of the Shakesperian theater are rivals for second place. In the Irish National thea ter In Dublin, of which society he is pres ident, the severity of the Shakesperian school Is followed, and only that which in MT. Yeatss opinion conduces to the high est In art is tolerated His company went to London a few days last year and was unexpectedly successful.
 MT Yeats has some very strong ideas concerning the higher education of wo- men. T don't think a woman can be too highly educated. but her education should be as unlike that of man as possible. l think myself 1t is a misfortune that man has to devote himself to anything duller than the imaginary arts, and think a woman should not do so under any circumstances.

New Use for Picture PostaIs.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Picture postals accumulate so rap idly nowadays, especially if one has friends abroad, that ways of utilizing them are welcome to most persons. They are effective decorations for screens, and as such have quite an educational value for nurseries and school rooms. After the cards have been artistically arranged and pasted on the panels of the screen they should be vanished or covered with glass. One ingenious school boy has decorated a three-fold screen in this manner, and below the frieze of the postal cards he has pasted on a dado of stamps and post-marks.
