ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

Aside from the great sensational race by Walthour against a race horse at the l3ijou this week. one of the hits of the excellent programme Is the dainty 'Fleury Trio" Parisian dancers. This trio of dainty and graceful dancers have not been in this country but a few weeks and will return to Europe as soon as their engagement with the Wells circuit is completed. The dancers are unique and may be really described as the poetry of music. Another genuine hit of the bill Is Lewis and Green in the comedy skit en- titled "The Unexpected Swede." The en- tire bill continues to thoroughly please the excellent audiences. There will be a matinee this afternoon and another per- formance tonight.

MORPHINE PELLET
 DROPPED IN BEER
WHITE MAN FOUND GUILTY OF ATTEMPTING TO DRUG HIS CON- PANloN FOR THE PURPOSE OF RoBBERY-HEAvlLY FINED.

Charles Landes, a white man claiming to hail from Chattanooga and apparent ly about 25 years old, was yesterday con- vlcted on two charges in the police court and Judge Feagin fined him $50. He was charged with distributing poison and at tempting to rob.
 He was discovered Tuesday night at tempting to rob a German in the Ocean" saloon at First avenue and Nineteenth street by putting morphine in his beer Bartender Frank Prick had him arrested by Policeman Ward, and the empty nor phine box was shown in court as evil dence.
 It seems that Tuesday night Landes ran across this German in the wine room of the saloon, and they commenced drink ing together. The German flashed a roll of bills and in a few minutes Landes went out and was gone about minutes. When he returned theporter Albert Henry discov- cred Landes putting something in the Germans beer. He called Mir. Prick S attention to 1t and MT. Prick refused to send any more beer into the wine room Landes came out and wanted to know why. MT. Prick said that the man had enough. Landes went into the wine room and brought the German out, and showed that he was not drunk. A glass of beer was then served each of them, and the negro again detected Landes putting a white pellet in the beer In scraping tke foam off, the pellet was thrown out on the counter, and 1t was found to be white and very fine in grain. The porter picked up box off the floor, which he says Landes threw away, and on it was writ ten morphine" MT. Prick then had him l.. the German and taking the money. Judge Feagin held that 1t had the appearance of an attempt to rob. and therefore put second case against the man.

The 5e foot plaster cast of Vulcan Is now on exhibition at the corner of First avenue and Fifteen street, and all who desire may see the giant man for 10 cents.
 For some time the plaster cast has been in the course of construction, and has finally been completed. It is exactly sim liar in every way to the iron man which has been set up at the St. Louis exposi- ton, and there will be many who will have to get their only view of the statue by looking at it here.
 The Commercial club has so far failed to secure sufficient funds to pay all the expenses of Vulcan, and it is hoped that by exhibiting the plaster cast, several hundred dollars may be realized. This money will go to the Vulcan fund.
