 The excitement over the course of Special Justice Phelps of Pittsfield is peculiarly ill-timed. Tn f1ning Hugh l GuTney, third secretary of the British embassy, he has been following q method now highly praised. Justice Phelps is a man of action; he thinks swiftly; he does things and finds the law for them afteTward He saw that the third secretary had violated the ordinance against speeding and he clapped on the penalty instanter. If this kind of procedure is admirable in the chief magistrate of the nation, it ought to be equally admirable in a DO lice magistrate.-New York Evening Post.

4 The last Adams Review publishes
the following contemptibly mean and
false fling at Judge Nathan Kingsley,
so highly respected throughout this ju-
dicial district "Mr. Kingsley as a
judge occupies a high and dignified po-
sition but when he prostitutes his hon
orable office to hold. political power, a
large amount of that dignity is rudely
dispelled." The fact is that Judge
Kingsley has scrupulously and infexi.

been on the bench and every one knows

 GRANTED LICENSE.

County Judge J. M. Jones on Thursday afternoon granted the application of Thad Arlington, colored, for a dram-shop license.
 Much interest was taken in the case, owing to the fact that the applicant was a negro and this is the first instance in which one of that race has been granted a license in Jackson county. Thad is preparing No. 622 Front street, in the same block with w. R, O'NeaPs saloon, for his place of business. He is being backed by a Pine Bluff liquor house.
 The saloon fixtures of J. E. Doherty. Henry BordweIl and L. L. Bowen & Company are not being moved, though their places of business in the First ward are closed pending the finding of the supreme court in the appeal cases.

INVEIGLED STRANGER.

Clarence Nelson, known as
 Battling Nelson" by reason of his pugilistic procIivities, is now having a chance to improve his muscle by work at the county farm, to which he was sent on Thursday afternoon by Justice Guy Smith, after a jury had fixed his fine for a badly mixed case of robbery and vagrancy at $40, which he was unable to pay.
 Nelson, together with a strang- CT named Alex Jones, who claimed to hail from Crookston, Minnesota, and was supposed to be looking for a business invest ment in this city, are alleged to have been accomplices in the hold-up and robbery of W. F. Jarvis north of the Iron Noun tain track Wednesday night.
 The Minnesota crook escaped, but reward has been offered for his arrest and he may yet pay the penalty of his work. Nelson, 1t seems, met Jarvis at the train, and taking him for an unsuspect- ing fellow, made his acquaint- ance. The two were walking alone when Nelson's confederate stepped from the darkness and with pistol in hand forced each to search the other. The stran- ger carried his money sewed up in the lining of his coat and the foodpads secured only a cheap watch and little pocket change.

DON'T sNuB THE SPAGHETTI.
The One Way to Create Consterna- ton tn New York Italian
 Restaurant.

When customer enters an Italian restaurant in New York, he is supposed to have bestowed himself upon that particular establishment for the pur- pose of procuring spaghetti, says the Sun. The experienced patron yields to the requirements of the restaurant and enjoys the spaghetti when he gets it, though there is no positive assurance in an Italian restaurant at what point the spaghetti will appear any more than there is when the cheese or salad will be served. 1t is no unusual thing in an Ital- ian restaurant for dinner to be begun with salad, and cheese, grated and served in a saucer, is generally brought in with the soup instead of at the end of the re- past.
 The unsophisticated patron of an Ital- ian restaurant in New York, high or low, expensive or cheap, celebrated or new, can in one way only cause surprise, bor- dering on bewilderment, to the conduc- tors, employees and patrons of the es- tablishment alike, and that Is by declar- ing with firmness at the proper mo- ment:
 'T don't care for spaghetti. Take it away"
 Such declaration, seldom made and never repeated in the same restaurant, has the same effect on the business done in it that the explosion of boiler has on locomotive. It brings everything to fun stop. It ends abruptly the pop ularity of the patron there. He pays his score and departs, but not until he has done so Is serenity restored.
