The demands of advertisers this week
have been such that we were obliged to de-
fer the publication of more or less CORES
pondence and other matter intended for
this issue. 1t will pay, however, to read
the advertising, for bargains are offered in
all lines.
Judge Rogers of the Police Court re-
ceived an offer last Saturday which he de-
prisoner to 80 days in Jail and fine of $40
and costs, or in default of payment to 80
days additional. The City Marshal sug-
gested that the prisoner be returned to the
city lookup until a policeman could be
spared to take him to Jail. To this the
prisoner said "Your Honor, if you will
give me the mittimus I'll serve it myself,
and put myself in Jail, without any officer. y
But His Honor decided to have the mitti-
mus served in the regular way, and the
first policeman who showed up did the
business.

A SINGULAR CASE. A combination
which might have led to serious results had
the parties not been we'll known to each
other occurred at a dance in Belfast recent
ly. a gentlemans watch chain caught on a
lady'S dress and broke the chain The
watch with short piece of chain attached,
was thrown from the owners pocket, but
caught on the chain of another dancer
near by. The latter feeling the pull at his
watch chain, and finding watch hanging,
supposed his own watch had been accident
iy pulled out and put the watch in his pocket.
After the dance closed the owner of the
watch asked the other for his time-piece,
and the latter was surprised to find two
watchers in his pocket. Had the gentle
man who thus got the watch been Stran-
ger there might have been a good chance
for a charge of picking pocket
