Unfortunately we have not arrived at
that state of perfection when the moths

is an all round one which menaces the
peace of the masculine Is well as of the
feminine humans.
If there is one thing more than an
other in the way of domestic torture
against which the spirit of the average
man revoits, it is that terrible period
devoted to spring cleaning.
He knows that his writing desk will
be overhauled. his curtains removed by

This method may sound expensive
but the professional cleaners charges
are not excessive, and in many cases il
is only a choice of paying the cleaner
or the doctor.
Still the great majority of women
stay at home and wrestle with the prop

The only sane method of cleaning a

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Judge Andrews Has Busy Day, Mon
day, and Dispenses Much Justice.

Judge Andrews had fairly busy day.
Monday. at the municipal court room,
and when the fines which he imposed
| upon the unfortunates before him are
paid into the county treasury, the coin
will jingle right merrily.
Seldom does the judge have such an
| array of misguided and second hand
humanity before him as that which he
was called to pass judgement upon,
yesterday. There were seven in all,
who had been taken in by the police, in
all stages of disintegration, and some
| of them had hardly recovered from the
reactiOnary disturbances which are apt
| to follow night with Bacchus. And
| of these seven, one was woman.
Here is the list and what they were
| in for: James Garland drunk; John
Lingeren, drunk; VIM. Daniels, drunk;
James Dclahanty, drunk; Fred ClOutier,
| drunk; and the woman, drunk. Napo-
| leon Cote, larceny.
When the judge sets the courts
| machinery in motion it does not take
| long to do the business, and the vic
| tins, with one exception, had been fined
s. before the audience realized, hardly,
what was going on. Cote was sent up
| for 80 days.
That was the morning session. In the
afternoon, two adjourned cases for il
| legal transportation of liquor came up.
The respondents were Bill Stinchfield
and Ed. F. Gossen, both old soldiers
| from the Home, and old enough to
know better. Both were found guilty
| and fined $50 and costs. Stinchfield APP
pealed and gave bonds for appearance
at the September term Of court, but
Gossen was committed.
The closing attraction was an as
sault and battery case, on a complaint
| sworn out by Adele Gagne, against Jo-
seph Jacques. Adele told the judge,
when swearing out the warrant, that
| Jacques struck her in the face, but
| when the time came for her to face the
young man. there was in his look
| something that sOftened her heart and
| she relcnted. Adele couldn't speak
English, but the girl with her could,
| and French, too, and she said that Ade-
lie said that Jacques did not strike her
in the face-Only on the leg, and not
hard, at which the court, Disguised,
threw out the case.
But Jacques troubles We're not over,
He had been recognized by the officers
as the chief instigator of the trouble at
the North End, Sunday, and a COM
plant was at once lodged against him
for disturbance. He admitted the
charge and was fined s., which was
paid and he was allowed to go.
